and after the formal reading of the

was announced as temporary chair.
man
Mr.. Patton In his address attacked
the position of the Republican and
Democratic parties on the liquor ques-
ton and cited proof that Abraham
Lincoln was in favor of prohibition of
the liquor traffic. Mr.. Patton said in
part;
"A few weeks since the standard
bearer Of the Democratic party, Will
lam j. Bryan, declared that the prohi-
bition question would not be referred
to In either the Republican or Demo
cratic platforms. But while there IL
no shadow of reference or endorse
nsnt of prohibition in either of these
platforms the Democrats have done
sfastly as did the Republicans and by
seam rming have placed themselves
Vhsrs they have stood ever since
ls7s-on the side of the enemies of
yeur home and mine"
Mr., Patton held the attention of the
audience throughout his speech and
at times moved his hearers to great
enthusiasm. AS he proceeded, driving
shaft after shaft at the other national
parties, he was cheered again and
again.
Reads Letter From Wade ellis.
Mr.. Patton read letter from Wade
II. Ellis. attorney general of Ohio,
author OF much Of the Republican plat
form of this year, declaring that he
could find nothing in the personal lib
erty plank of the Republican platform
Of 1872 Inconsistent with Republican
doctrine"
Caught with the goods" shouted
some one In the audience, and, con-
ttnuins, Mr.. Patton said that Mr.. Ellis
KNOWS what Boss Cox of Cincinnati
wants" and would not oppose his
wishes.
President Taft knows the same"
said the speaker, and laugh greeted
the title given the Republican candi-
date, but he corrected himself hastily.
Passing from the Republican party
Mr.. Patton spoke of that very talka.
tive man from Lincoln" and said that
in the last sixteen years Mr. Bryan
has championed everything loose un-
der the sun in the way of political
Issue except the prohibition question"
This statement was greeted with q
chorus of shame, shame" by the
audience.
The decided impression made by
the speech of Temporary Chairman
Patton resulted in an almost immedi-
ate movement to make him the presi-
Dental nominee. The Indiana delega-
tion started the boom.
Following the address of Mr.. Patton
the roll of the states was called for
the announcement Of the various com
mittees An address of welcome to
the delegates was delivered by Pro-
fessor A. s. Watkins of Ada, O., to
which a response was made by w. p.
F. Ferguson of Chicago.

Passenger trains hauled by electric
locomotives will be running Through
the Cascade Tunnel Of the Great Nor

1909. The electrification Of this long
tunnel, which has been such source
of trouble and annoyance since the
roadwas built, is the largest undertake
ing of it's kind ever attempted in the
west. and the Great Northern is the
first of the great western roads to
adopt electric propulsion for any con-
siderable portion Of its road
Not only is the Cascade development
the largest of it's kind in the west, but
it is the first three phase railroad
system to be installed in this country
and one of the first in the world. The
most unusual feature of this electric
Service, as planned by the General
Electric companys engineers, is the
fact that motors, which pull the cleo

Commissioners E. w. Ross and State
Auditor Clausen, were also granted in

Ross handled the vast amount of state
assets comprised in the granted lands,
and his office turns millions of dollars
into the treasury His office work and
responsibilities have doubled in two
years. Clausen has to pass upon every
cent of state expenditures and, in ad-
dition, as member of the board or
finance, selects state depository banks
and invests the state permanent funds.
Salaries of a large number of ap
pointive officers were also increased
by the last legislature. Some of those
will take effect next year when terms
expire, but others, like the board of
control, can not go into effect imme-
djately.

Through the Cascade Tuaael by Electricity

Il ification of this division will elm
mate the present congestion of traffic,
because steam locomotives cannot
pass through the great bore very Of
ten on account of the sitting gases
aud deadly smoke. The danger of
yuffot alton will be removed. and rfe
traffic cost will also be lowered. as
the electricity used is manufactured
in the vicinity from water power.
The Great Northern has secured the
rights and titles for enough water
power along the Wenatchee to develop
100000 horsepower, and it is sal
upon good authority, that several
of the heavy grades near the tunnel
will also be electrified in the near flu
ture, and it is prophesied that the en-
tire western division will be run by
electricity within a few years.
While this railroad is the first in
the west to adopt electricity as a mo-
tive power to any great extent. it is
passing evident that it will not be the
last, as nearly every railroad in that
section, from the Canadian Pacific to
the Southern Pacific, is planning more
or less electrification work, which will
be started during the coming year.

CAUSES OF POOR LIGHT


The study Of illumination has not
only become an exact science in these
days of perfection in artificial light
ing, but every householder is eagerly
reading anything that will give him
a greater insight into this most diff
cult study.
. Many a poorly lighted room can be
easily remedied by changing the light
fixtures or repapering. It was for
merly the custom to blame the oil, or
the gas, or the electricity if there were
dark shadows in the room or If the
light failed to dispel the evening
darkness. Now it has been proven
that these same rooms, be it at the
home or the office or the store, can
be made almost as light as day with
even less candlepower than before, all
with a little study and planning.
A wallpaper which will absorb"
light is the greatest enemy to artifi-
cial light in the home. An illuminant
is powerless to light room If the
color Of the walls absorb most of the
rays. The Illuminating engineers of
the General Electric company claim
that white wall will reflect so per
cent Of light, whereas red wallpaper
will reflect only Is per cent. Dark
wood trimmings absorb light; white
wood reflects it. Velvets, chintzes,
burlaps, will also absorb light; so will
wallpaper, whatever it's color, but a
tinted surface wall reflects the light.
Wallpaper in patterns is not only one
of the greatest of all known absorb
ers f light, but it also has bad eff
feet IN nerves and eyes.
The Palmer the wallpaper the better
for nerves and body, and the smoot,le.
the surface the more light it will re-
fleet. In selecting wallpaper the way
the room. faces must also be taken into
consl6 era ton. Those rooms facing
north and east require lighter col
oreG papers than do rooms facing
south and west.
Care in the selection of tints and
Wallpaper will not only lead to a bet
ter and a cheaper artificial light hut

all to realize to the greatest degree the

Ancient and Honorable.

1t is related of Professor William
course of one of his lectures, while
deep in discussion of a question of
logic, the Governors Footguard, ar
ancient and honorable military organ
ization of Connecticut, went marching
by with colors flying and band play
in. With one accord, professor and
class retired to the windows to watch
the procession. After gazing for a
moment at the corpulent forms of the

military array, Professor Phelps turn

OLYMPIA, Dec. 17.-Beginning in
next January, Washington will have
the highest salaried state officers In
it's history. Although majority OF
those elected are incumbents OF the
positions, all get increased pay. Sal

the vacancy caused by the recent resig-

increased pay.

airy of $4,000, and the state will
furnish him a handsome mansion,

ing over the senate for go days every
two years and for holding down the

spend much of his term out of the

State Treasurer Lewis will draw
$4,000, as against the $4,000 per an
mum now paid Treasurer Mills. The
duties, however have been largely in
creased by new laws and also by the
natural increase in the valume of state
