gait. An examination was held by
members of the board, who are also
physicians, and slip signed by them
testifies to the fact that no reason
conld be advanced for the expulsion,
as she was afflicted with no contagious
ailment.
This was done over the head OF the
health officer who has now placed the
case in the hands of the city attOr-
ney and is awaiting his word on the
subject. Although his is not legal adj
vice, he claims that the actions Of the
health officer were justifiable and that
he has the power to suspend any per-
son so afflicted He also said that
it was not the duty of the school
board to re-fnstate person after be-
ing expelled by the health officer while
acting in that capacity.
DIR. Fales insists that he will fight
the matter to the limit as he thinks
it an encroachment upon his rights.
When he made out the exclusion card,
he expressly stated, that by receiv-
ing proper treatment, the child would
three days at the utmost. AS this was
the case and as he says he was acting
nj To
and not for one person, DR.. Fales
thinks he has not been justly treated
and will do all in his power to exer-
else what he does think are his full
rights and privileges while acting in
the capacity of city health officer.
When asked regarding the matter
DIR. c. B. Stewart, a member of the
school board and one of the physi-
clans who signed their names to the
certificate that the child was healthy,
said:
"This was not done in direct Oppo-
sition to the health, officer for any ul-
terror purposes whatever, but was
merely an act that we considered JUS
tifiable. We had the child examined
by several doctors and they all said
that nothing was materially wrong
with the Harding girl. Mr.. Harding
requested that we issue the slip stat
ing that the child was we'll and we did
so after being certain, in our own
minds, that she was. We did not wish
to bring on any trouble with DIR.

OUR NEW PRESIDENT.

At noon today with modest pomI
and ceremonies essentially American
William Howard Taft of Ohio stepped
to the highest position in the land and
became the twenty seventh president
of the United States. Today, too, party
lines We're bedimmed and campaign
bitterness were forgotten and the
North, South, East and West join in
one glad paen in the mailing of the new
chief. The Statesman mngles it's voice
with the nation in wishing the new ad-
ministratiOn smooth sailing under
skies bright with peace and prosperity.
Today that the administration just
closed has been one of great achieve
ments and the trail-blazer for still
greater achievements, is but to voice
the public opinion which spoke with an
earnestness that compels at the No
vember election With Theodore Roose-
Welt at the helm the American ship of
state has encountered some stiff breezes
but has rounded the dangerous head
lands and ploughed safely past the
rocks of adversely. Roosevelt has been
strenuous but sincere, aggressive but
honest. The workers of evil have been
made to feel the unmerciful thud of
the big stick and the Rooseveltain war
ncf ho n o.
ly and relentlessly Waged Spurred to
action by an indOmitable will, Roose
Welt has made mistakes, many of them,
but none 50 grave as TO cloud the path
of his successor, and none so serious
but that they will be forgotten in the
memory of the great and good things
of the administration.
And now the official toga with rent
here and a smirch there but rich in the
adornment of great achievements falls
upon the broad and able shoulders of
Mr.. Taft. whose years of official train
ing, cool judgement and sound and
consecutive views promise even greater
things for him than are written to the
credit of his predecessor. With ,Roose-
velts footsteps warm before him that
he may profit by the example and avoid
any missteps, William Howard Taft
will, we predict. rise to an enviable
place among the illustrious circle OF
great presidents.

CHANGES MADE IN
PREMIUM CLASSES
MANY MORE PRIZES WILL BE
GIVEN AT THE COUNTY FAIR
THIS YEAR.
Committees Are Named to Take Charge
of Various Departments Of Fair
and Race Meet.

Arrangements for the coming county
fair and race meet are being perfected,
and all of the minor details of the big
annual event are being worked out
preparatory to making the 1909 fair
one of the biggest and most success
full attractions ever given in the state
of Washington Committees to take
charge of the various departments of
the fair have been appointed by the as
ISOLATION, as follows, and will take
charge of their duties Immediately:
Fruit Committees. F. Simpson,
Mike Toner, c. L. Whitney.
Race Committee-John P. Kent, Will
liam A. Ritz, Mordo Mcdonald
Stock Committee-Samuel Drum
heller, James Dacres, Frank Singleton.
Machinery Committee-Ben c. Holt,
John Smith, w. G. Cordiner
Finance Committee-William Hogo-
boom, H. Mcdonald, B. F. Simpson.
Some radical changes in the classifi-
cation and revision of premium lists
have been recommended by the COM
mittee appointed from the Oregon
Pure Bred Live Stock association, and
the recommendations have been ap-
proved by the local association. 1t is
probable that all organizations affiliat-
ed with the Northwest association will
take similar action, in order that all
regulations may be uniform.
One of the changes effected in the
revision resulted from a communica-
ton to N c. Maris, chairman of the
classification committee, from the
sheepmen, asking that the 2-year- old
ewes be cut from the flock, and that
the class for 2-year- ewes be also
discontinued, and class for a pen of
four yearling ewes be substituted in
its place, giving three money prizes for
them, similar to other classes.
Following are the recommendations
of the committee, which have been ap-
proved by the Walla Walla association,
and which will be of especial interest
to stock men who will wish to enter
for the 1909 exhibition:
1. That class be made for 5-gaited
saddle horses, giving three money
prizes for stations, and the same for
mares and geldings
2. That the following classification
and prizes be given for Shetland po-
MES:
Stallion 3-years-old and over. first,
$40; second. Sc; third, 81.

A decision will be handed down
within few days by City Attorney

An epidemic. of the disease known

some of the schools and Doctor j.
E!lery Fales, acting in his capacity as
health officer expelled some of the pu-
pills affected with this disease, for the
time being, or until they could be
cured. This disease is contagious and
for that reason the children were sus-
pended. Ten in all were placed under
the ban, nine being from the Lincoln
school and one from the Sharpstein
No comment was made following the
action of the health officer in expelling

HIGH SCHOOL LOSES
IN FIRST OF SERIES
Pearsons Academy Is Returned Win
ner in First Game Of Series Of
Three Between Schools.

In a fast, Snappy contest, PearSOns
academy last night took the first or a
series of games of basketball being
played with the local high school boys.
Although apparently outclassed in the
first part of the first half the high
school boys rallied later and played
score standing at the close of the rrst
half at IL to II in their favor. Taking
a decided brace, however, at the open
ing of the second half, the Pearsons
squad got busy and assuming lead
of several points kept it until the
close of the contest. Although the
high schools played desperately they
could not gain another lead but put up
a winning fight to the last, the score
at the end of the game being "a to
20 against them.
Felthouse for Pearsons secured the
greatest number of points, scoring al
together eight from field goals and two
from fouls. For the high school Black

WHITMAN AND "Y"
PLAY IN THIRD GAME
Each Team Has One Victory of Series
to Its Credit and Rubber Will
Decide Championship.

With a game to the credit of each
team, the basketball squads from
Whitman college and the Y. M. c. A.
will play the rubber tonight in the
High school gymnasium. This con-
sion, for the last game between these
aggregations was not considered
from the loss Of two Of it's best players
and with the full strength on the floor
tonight they are confident of winning.
If hard practice and an excellent sys.
tenn of team work counts for anything
they should win, but with these as as
sets the college bunch possesses the
fullest confidence and feel assured that
the scalps of the "Y" boys will be
theirs tonight.
Whitman missed the northwest
championship by just one point in one
game and it is not considered pos
sible by them that any organization
outside of a college can be in their
class but tonight may prove to them
a time for coming out of deep trance.
The college will line up as follows:
Barnes, center; A. Belt and w. Belt
forwards; Penthouse and Cushman,
guards. The Y M. c. A. will play
their usual squad with o. Felthouse
and Steele in the contest.

LAST ROUND IN
LOCAL OPTION
HOUSE MAKING EFFORT TO PASS
SATISFACTORY LOCAL
OPTION BILL
Measure Must Please Both Governor
and the Senate, and Is Hard
to Conceive.
Measure Must Please Both Govern

OLYMPIA, Wash, March 4.-The
beginning of the last round in the fight
for local option in the. legislature is
on today. In the house an effort is
being made to pass a bill that will
meet the approval of the senate and
of the governor The bill now provides
that cities of the first, second and
third classes, towns of the fourth
class and country territory shall each
constitute a separate unit for the pur
pose of determining the liquor prob
lem for themselves. This has been
the contention of the liquor interests
from the outset, and the bill will like
ly pass both houses with practically
these provisions. The bill carries
rigid regulations and the enforcement
clause is strong.
Representative Weir, who is to some
extent the representative of the Ii
quor interests, stated on the floor that
the desire of the saloon men was to
have a stringent enforcement provi-
sion, and he would support anything
in the way of regulation to make the
law effective at the start. The con-
test hinged around the county unit I'M
til the local option people themselves
were torn asunder more or less by
strife over what part of the common
wealth should vote on the saloon or
no saloon problem.

LET'S HAVE A TEAM.

With practically every city of any
consequence in the. state making pre-
parations to organize and maintain a
first-cltss baseball team, Walla Walla
is still dormant as far as the national
sport is concerned. and from present
indications the best town in the state
will derive no advertising whatever
from thhe victories of an all-star ag-
gregation There is nothing that will
give a city publicity during the spring
and summer months like a winning
team. and there is nothing that will
reflect more credit upon the energy
and aggressiveness of the business
men.
Walla Walla seems to have lost all
interest in the game; but that fact
might we'll be credited to the fact that
for several years she has maintained,
if any at all, an amateur nine, and
some decidedly shady exhibitions. of
the game have been furnished those,
who, mere than any other one thing,
love an exciting contest on the dia-
mond. The time is still ripe for the
organization of a winning ball team;
and material can be secured without
trouble.
