IAN OPEN
RIVER TOWN"
All Prove Loyal Supporters of the
Open Columbia River
Movement.

The Walla Walla Union says of
the open river movement:
Thirteen paid memberships were
added to the Open River association
in Prescott, Waitsburg and Dayton
as a result of the recent trip of DR..
N. G. Blalock, Prof. Lyman and Capt.
w. P Gray, who returned to this
city yesterday They were gone
three days and delivered addresses in
each of the towns visited; and secur-
ed much encouraging support both
expressive and from a financial stand
point.
In speaking of his recent trip and
the work of the Open River associa-
tion generally, DR.. Blalock said yes
terday: I'VE find the small towns
alive to the necessity of securing
open navigation to the Columbia and
Snake rivers to carry on the immense
traffic of the surrounding country
The people not only want an open
river traffic but they are equally in
favor of improving the harbors of
the Sound country and building the
proposed Washington lake canal. All
these improvements will encourage
navigation on the Pacific ocean and
stimulate commerce for the west.
~ think one of the best illustra-
tions of the necessity of these i'm
provementS is contained in the re-
cent address of President James ].
Hill of the Great Northern railway
company, delivered before the late
Rivers and Harbors congress at
Washington. D. c. In his address
Mr. Hill said that during the past
five years the freight traffic of the
United States had increased 100 per
cent while the facilities for handling
this great volume of freight had in
creased only 20 per cent. During
this time Canada has spent dollars
where the United States has spent
dimes in improving the transporta-
ton facilities of the country and
that as a result Canada's dimes have
brought greater reward than the
United States dollars Thus it can
be seen the results of improvement
is double-headed.
eff the freight traffic has increas-
ed at the rate it has during the last
five years what can we expect during
the next twenty years?"
There is not a state in the Union
which will be affected to'a greater
extent by the Improvement of the
water ways of the west than Wash
ington, and her citizens are fast be-
coming aware of this situation and
are helping both with their infiu-
ence and money. DR.. Blalock, as di-
rector for this state is preparing to
make an extensive campaign in the
interests OF. the Open River associ-
alton some time in the near future.

COUNCIL GETS BUSY
ON WATER QUESTION
Two Meeting this Week.-HanfOrds
Estimates Considered Last Night
Gunn's Proposition Turned
Down.

At an extra meeting of the city
council held last night in the city
hall for the especial purpose of TAX
ing up the water question, the esti-
mates from Engineer Hanford of Sc
attic were taken up, and from the
proposition now before the municipal
body it is highly evident that water

ties at reasonable figure.
Three Estimates.
There are three estimates which
are based upon a pumping capacity
of one million gallons per twenty
four hours, from the Columbia river
to the present low service reservoir,
and 432 200 gallons per twenty-four
hours from the low to the high press
ure reservoir. 1t is proposed to use

LED A
DOUBLE LIFE
Mystery of John ID. Rockefeller's
Father Cleared Up by Reporter.
Two Wives for 81 Years.

New York, Feb. 4.-The World
says today that the body of DR.. Will
liam Avery Rockefeller, father of j.
D. Rockefeller, the oil king, lies in
an unmarked grave in Oakland ceme-
terry, Freeport. Ill. He died in that
city, May IL, 1906, aged SO years,
months and 2S days.
For fifty years he led a double life.
Under the name of DR.. William Lev
ingstone, he farmed and sold medi-
cine of his own decoctiOn in Illinois
and North Dakota. During those
same years he occasionally\a appeared
at the homes of his sons and among
his old acquaintainces in the east as
DR.. William A Rockefeller
The proofs of this have been coi-
lected by a World reporter, whose in
vestigation has just been completed.
Two Wives Tor Thirty-four Years.
During thirty-four years of the 90
he had two wives. One was Mrs. E.
Dawson Rockefeller, the mother of
John D. Rockefeller; the other was
Mrs. Margaret L. Allen Livingstone.
The first wife, Mrs. Rockefeller,
mother of the richest man in the
world, he married in New York state
in 1887. She died in New York in
1889 at the age of seventy-flve. The
second wife, Mrs. Livingstone, he
married in Ontario in 1855. while
his first wife was living with her
five children in Cleveland, Ohio. This
second wife is now living in Freeport.
ILL.,, charming, white-haired Chris
tian woman of seventy years.
DR.. Rockefeller was forty-five
years old when he deserted his wife
and family in Cleveland and went to
Canada, under the assumed name of
William Livingstone, married Miss
Margaret L. Allen, a pretty girl of 20
years. For fifteen years she lived
with him as his wife, never knowing
until just before he died that her
husband was bigamist. Until few
years before his death she did not
know that he was William A. Rookie
feller, or that he had been indicted
in New York state.
The first Mrs. Rockefeller lived
twenty-four years after ne deserted
her, and died without Knowing that
her husband had taken a girl of 20
in her stead.

BRYAN DROPS
FREE SILVER
Noted Nebraskan Says it is No
Longer an Issue.-COnditiOns
Have Changed.

New York, Feb. 5.-W. J. Bryan
was asked today whether mis- Car
negie Hall speech of last night had
been intended to include any intima-
ton that free coinage of silver was
still public issue. Mr.. Bryan re-
piled:
mo; free silver is not an issue.
What | said last night had no
connection with the silver question.
| simply referred to it to show the
change that had taken place in the
arguments that are being made at
the present time.
The silver question was an issue
in 1896 because prices were falling
and there was no other relief in
sight.
Since gold production has mate
rally increased, prices are raising
or were until the recent panic, and
will again, as soon as normal condi-
tions are restored.
The silver question, therefore,
will not be an issue
