BEATTY WOULD EXTEND
LIFE OF McENERNEY ACT
Especial Dispatch 10 7he Calll

Call Headquarters, Chamber of COM
merce building. SACRAMENTO, Jan g.
Henry N Beatty the new assembly
man from the thirty sixth district of
San Francisco, intends to urge the leg
isiature this session to amend the Nc
Enerney act by extending for two years
the life of the law which permits the
quieting of title to real estate by suing
the world.
The act was a part of the 4egisla-
enacted laws for the relief Of San Fran
cisco and other cities where fire and
quake had destroyed the records of
title.
The McEnerney act will have served
its three years limit of usefulness the
coming summer Beatty wants the
measure to remain effective two years
more. The act has proved so satisfac-
tory that 1t is likely Beatty will en-
counter but little. If any, opposition.

COLFAx DIARIES IN BAD FIX
Four Will Be Closed Unless Law Is
Complied With.

Deputy Dairy Inspector F. II. Bothell
OF Spokane was in Colfax Saturday, hav-
ing inspected the dairies supplying milk
for this city. 1t is regrettab,e that MIR.
Bothell did not find conditions as favor
able as on his last visit, when everything
was reported 0 K With one exception
the dairies are all below the per cent re-
quired to do business, that exception be
ing the Colfax Jersey. which has IS per
cent to it's credit. The Colfax dairy has
SO per cent, the Whitman so, Macumber
81 and F. W. Ellis 27.
Three of these are leased, the owners
and lessees both refusing to make neces-
sary repairs and additions, the lessees
stating that it is not their place to do
so. The chief complaint Mr.. Bothell had
to make was the loose and rotten condi-
tion OF the flooring, the filth accumu
lating instead OF running off, remaining
for cows to stand or lie in, which, per
necessity, must impair the purity of
milk
Mr.. Bothell has a large territory to
cover but will be here soon after the 1st,
and il the four last named dairies are not
repaired according to directions given
they will be closed

STUART HAS OPPOSITION.
PEOPLE of Maiden, in Mass Meeting
Protest Against Appointment.

There has been friction over the post
office at Maiden for some time the bust
ness men of that burg oblecting to the
poiitlcai Influences which seemed to con
troll things. When RUFUS r. Wilson re
signed the first the citizens knew about
1t, according to the Register. Charles F.
Stuart had received the appointment
through the recommendation OF Con-
gresham POindexter. To use the words
OF the Register:
The report spread like wild fire and
IL two hours time number OF business
men and republicans had telegraphed the
postotfice department and Congressman
foindexter protesting against the ap-
pointment, and saying that remon-
strances and petition would follow"
Dodgers were issued and mass meet

name in protesting against the appoint

says the Register, Ito which the sigma
lures of $50 republicans had been at

other, non partisan protest against
the appointment, had been circulated
and received nearly 100 signatures

The Fairbanks Morse Electric Plant
Failed to Electrify.


The county commissioners, at their
meeting last week, let contract for
three years to Codd & acKenzie for light
ing the court house, the price being $40
month. A plant was installed several
months ago in the basement OF the court
house by the Fairbanks-Morse Co. Of
Spokane which WAS expected to furnish
light for the building in Il satisfactory
manner. In fact, that was the under
standing, verbally, if not in writing, of
both the county commissioners and the
agent at the time the plant was put in.
1t has not worked satisfactorily, how
ever, SO the commissioners entered into
the new arrangement as above stated.
The agent OF the Fairbanks-Morse Co.
was here last week and stated that by
further expenditure Of $500, additions
could be made to the plant so that it
would work satisfactorily, but the COM
missioners wouldn't stand for further
expense
There is little probability Of suit
growing out OF this against the county,

overwhelming evidence that the Fair
banks-MOrse plant did not I'LL the uses
to which it was put. In fact, their agent

RAILROAD SURVEYORS
NOW IN THE FIELD
0. R. & N. Branch Line From
La Crosse to Pullman.
Territory to Be Tapped by New Line
Is Heavy Producer Of Grain and
Other Farm Products - Means
Much for La Crosse.

Seymour Manning returned from La
Crosse Wednesday evening and reports
that w. &. Buck, assistant engineer OF
the o. r. 4 N, with a staff OF 10 men
supplies, had arrived at La Crosse that
morning to survey the branch road
leading from that burg to Pullman, tap
ping the only territory in Whitman
county not directly tributary TO railway
service. Mr. Buck and his men left at
once for the j. s. Schrock place on Will
low creek, five miles southeast OF La
Crosse, where a permanent camp will be
established Work will proceed east and
west from this point, two parties being
in the field and pushing the work to
early completion.
From La Crosse the new branch line
will follow Willow creek IA miles south
east, crossing low divide onto Alkali
fat at Dusty thence up Alkali fiat to
the old Milt Harper place thence over
low divide onto Union fat at Wilcox
thence up Union fat to a point near
grange hall into Pullman.
We have heard and read a great deal
about railroad construction in this part
of the PaIouse the last few weeks. most
oini hich have been rumors heard on the
streets. but the above is given as authen
tic and means that something is doing.
This means another branch road leading
into La Crosse, and is almost a sure
forerunner that the machine shops OF the
o r & n, now located at Starbuck,
will be moved there. There has been
talk of late that it was the intention to
relocate the machine shops at WinOna,
but it is a debatable question now
whether they will 60 there or to La
Crosse La Crosse will probably be made
divisional point.
There is talk that another railroad
will soon be in the field with surveyors
to locate route practically in the same
territory.
The territory to be tapped by the new
branch line is a heavy producer Of grain
and other farm products, which will
readily respond to the impulse OF quick
aud more direct transportation.

TRIAL JURY FINDS
HAMILTON GUILTY
Former Adjutant General Is
Adjudged Embezzler.
Sentence May BE From One to Ten
Years. Other Charges to Be Tried
in February --Bonds Asked Pend :
Ing Appeal to Supreme Court.

Ortis Hamilton was found guilty as
charged by jury in the superior court
at Olympia Monday of larceny by en-
bezzlement, and as a result he faces an
indeterminate sentence in the pententiary
OF one to 10 years at hard labor. The
trial lasted three weeks lacking one day.
The Morning Olympian epitomizes the
trial by saying that this is only the first
OF the many charges that can be pre-
ferred against the former military leader.
He is alleged to have misappropriated be.
tween $40, 900 and $50, 900 OF the state e
funds and all for an affinity" accord
ing to statements ma de during the pro-
gress of the trial. Throughout but few
women attended, and Hamilton has been
practically deserted aside from his
brother and counsel. His old friends
have nothing to say. There is nothing
they can do. The woman in the case''
is in San Francisco.
The usual motion for new trial was
made, which, if denied, notice OF appeal
will be given. 1t is believed that the
next trial of Hamilton will be for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
The supreme court will probably not
pass upon his case before next May. In
the meantime the other charges, larceny
by embezzlem ent, forgery and obtaining
money under false pretences are the re-
naming counts against him.
An effort will be made to get bail fixed,
which the supreme court, before convic-
tion, placed at $4,000. Whether or not
the conviction will make any difference
in the amount OF bail remains to be seen
Hamilton was returned to the county
Jail, where he has been confined for the
last seven months.

STATE AND COUNTY
APPORT|ONMENT
County Apportionment Amounts
to the Sum of S4198.62.
State Apportionment Amounts to
S7233. a. - OF This $47OO Is
Paid as Bonus to High Schools
Teachers Examinations Small.

The county school superintendent
office has just finished making the tate
and county appOrtionment. The state
apportionment amounts to $7233 A
OF this amount $4,000 is paid as a bonus
to High schools Of the county, schools
having one years course getting 500,
two years course 5000, three years
course $500, and a four years course
$4O0. COlfax comes under the four
years course and will receive the higher
bonus. The county apportionment is
$419S 81.
Teachers examinations we're the
smallest in Whitman county this year
than for many years. This is owing to
the new law going into effect, which is
said to be unpopular with the school
superintendents throughout the state
Under the new law any person from any
state in the Union holding as low as
third grade certificate can compel the
county superintendent to give a tempo,
rary certificate to teach good for the cur
rent school year, whereas under the old
law such certificate was good only until
the following examination. 1t is now
possible for person to come here and
teach Tor year, or nearly year, with
out being compelled to pass an exami-
nation and then seek pastures new. We
do not assert that this has been done in
this county, but it can be done.
The smaller number of examin ations
this year is also accounted for from the
fact that many first and second grade
certificates were renewals

THE Fair God" The action is
laid in Mexico during the reign

the plot centres around the ad-
ventures of a slave who is the

The plot is unfolded in a keenly
interesting manner and gives
rise to many dramatic episodes.
The scenery displayed was unu-
sually handsome, and the tropi-
cal beauties of picturesque Next
