GIVE NAME To
STATE PRISON
BOARD INFORMALLY TALKS OVER
MATTER BUT ARRIVES AT
NO DECISION.

One matter which, it is understood
has been a topic of discussion by the
state board of control of the peniten-
tiary at their meeting this week, has
been the naming of the prison.
Heretofore there has been no special
rame for the designation of the peni-
tentiary. other than the Washington
state penitentiary. 1t is thought by
many that it would be we'll to have
some special name for the prison, such
as. for instance, Sing Sing or San
Quentin-a name which would at once
designate the place and be distinctive.
None of the suggestions have been
given out concerning the proposed
name but with it's situation on the hill
it would be easy to give it title.

THREE POSITIONS
YET TO FILL
RUMORED THAT IMPORTANT
CHANGES WILL BE MADE IN
CITY TEACHING STAFF.

Failure of the school board, at last
Friday nights meeting to select prin-
cipals for the Lincoln and Sharpstein
schools has given rise to the runfors
that there may be some changes in
these two departments before the
school staff for next year is finally de-
cided upon.
1t is said that Professor Ryan, prn-
cipal of the Lincoln school and Profess
sor Buckles of the Sharpstein school
may tender their designations. al
though this cannot be confirmed, the
matter having not formally come up
for final adjustment between the two
principals and the board of education.
Contrary to statements made public,
Prof Shepherd of the high school has
not been reemployed for next year.
Professor Shepherd today requested
that thia Informs, -.on be made public
in order to clear UP the statement tnat
he had been reemployed for next year.

Exclude Immoral Mexicans.

TUCSON. Ariz., April 14.-Immigra
ton officials have commenced a cru
sade which is likely to result in a
great diminuition in the population OF
the red light districts of the various
towns and cities along the Mexican
border. A large proportion of the in
mates of immoral resorts are Mexican
women and these will be sent back to
Mexico. The deportation Of this class
of women is undertaken under the sec
ton of the new immigration law.
which provides that any alien who
comes to this country and within three
years thereafter becomes an immoral
character may be deported Many ar
rests have already been made and a
general cleaning up of the resorts
along the border in Arizona, New Mex
leo and Texas is expected.

LUTHER HOlCOMB SAYS iNDE-

MENT is SPREADING.

Luther Holcomb. an organizer for
the American League of Independent
Workmen. with headquarters in Spo-
kane, spent yesterday and today in
Walla Walla, assisting in strengthen
ing the WaIla Walla lodge which was
recently organized. At an enthusiastic
meeting held last night. Organizer Hol-
comb was the principal speaker of the
evening and detailed at length the
progress being made by the American
League which now has a strong sub
ordinate lodge in this state and ore
gon.
THE Walla Walla lodge now num-
bers 80 members, all skilled mechanics
and the lodge is rapidly growing" said
Organizer Holcomb this morning. I'm
Spokane we have a membership of 800
At Yakima there is fiOurishing lodge
and another at Pendleton.
THE American league is not fighting
the labor unions. The only object we
have in view is to better the condi-
ton of skilled labor and give every
man an equal show 1t is not our inten-
ton to reduce wages but we do de-
mand that our members receive what
they are worth. If an emplOye is a bet
ter mechanic than the man working
alongside of him, it is only right and
proper that he should receive better
wages. This principle has a tendency
to make poor mechanics strive to be
come better ones
Mr.. Holcomb stated that arrange
ments have been partially completed
for the opening of a free employment
office in this city. where mechanics
rot members of any union may secure
work. 1t is planned to have the office
opened in the near future.

WEATHER DID
NOT STOP THEM
ToNoPAH LADIES WERE OUT
EN- MAsSE TO ATTEND THE
COOKING SCHOOL.

The disagreeable weather yester-
day afternoon did not deter the Ia
dies from attending the cooling
school. About ninety of Tonopafi'a
society women were present ana
thoroughly appreciated the instruc.
ton given by Miss Tracy and the
delicious samples served at the close
of the lesson. To broil a steak prop
erly was part of the theme and when
it is done well, as was demonstrated
by Miss Tracy, it is delicious. The
steak broiled was two inches thick.
After lighting the oven burners for
five minutes the steak was put ii
the broiler and placed close to the
flame, which was hot enough to in
stantly scar the surface. When both
sides were scared the heat was re-
duced and the steak cooked more
slowly for fifteen minutes. In the
bake oven, which is heated by the
same burners, Miss Tracy baked
some fiaky biscuits, thus utilizing all
the heat from the oven burners.
Some delicious cream puffs, which
were cooked at the beginning of the
lesson, were served for desert. The
next lesson will be on Friday after
noon at 1880 o'clock; subject. En-
