FRIDAY, OCTOBER -, 1909.

THE railroad is a great factor in the
transformation of a country, and works
wonders in injecting life into places
that have almost persisted off the face
of the earth. To old timers. CONVEX
SAINT with old conditions. it is astonish-
ing to read of the resurrection of the
old crossroads hamlet of Douglas,
few miles southeast of Waterville. no"
on the new Great Northern branch.
In former years there was not in the
broad land more dismal, woebegone,
uninviting, repulsive tumble of shacks
than Douglas. The few excuses for
human habitations, beaten, un-
painted ruins, were an eye-sore to the
travelling public, and a blot upon the
scenery. 1t was, in early days, sim
pie case of dry rot. There was not
even the glory of a past to throw a
glamor over the wretched, Struggling
village, and the future held out no
promise of betterment. Now comes
the railroad and a vigorous new life
has taken the place of the old order,
or disorder, of things. Buildings, and
substantial ones, are going up, lots
suddenly possess a value, and new adj
ditions are being laid out. 1t looks as
though Douglas was to give all com
pelitors run for the leading town in
the county. This is surely along the
line of miracle, such miracles as are
common with the advent of the iron
horse

THOSE republican papers that are
beng used to assist Poindexter to pull
the chestnuts out of the fire should
make haste slowly. If they endorse
Poindexter they repudiate President
Taft, for surely Poindexter repudiated
the president in a public speach. Pom

number of republican papers that are

republican party in the state.

a FEW days ago Max Bass answered
the last summons at his home in Chi
cago. In his death the Great Northel n
railroad lost valuable employee and
this state an enthusiastic friend and
booster who has been instrumental in
bringing within its borders large
number of desirable home seekers. Mr.
Bass was the immigration agent of the
railroad he served so faithfully, and in
the past decade did much to spread
broad cast the desirability of Wash
ington As home. Furthermore his
efforts bore fruit abundant. He per-
sonally visited every section of the
state, gathered information from di-
rect observation, compiled statistics,
and was eminently successful in en-
listing the services of local represen-
tatives in setting forth the advantages
of their surrou dings. He was bright,
observing and resourceful, and most
affable and pleasant gentleman to meet.
He did much for Washington in his
lifetime, more than any single individ-
ual outside of the state and his mem
DRY should be long cherished for the
great good he accomplished along the
lines of his endeavor.

RECENTLY Maj. A. M. Anderson was
hailed before the United States district
court on the charge of perjury. The
case grew out of his connection with
the Colville Indian agency, while he
was acting as agent, and from what
can be learned, and from the result of
the trial, it is evident that there were
very slight grounds for the charge.
There were several charges of like
character filed against the major, one
of which was thrown out of court
by the presiding Judge, and on the
other counts the jury rendered a ver-
dict of not guilty The friends of Maj.
Anderson, up this way, were not sur
prsod at the result, yet at the same
time join in congratulations upon his
indication.

Club Championship.

A most exciting situation has developed
in connection with the pending club
championship tournament which recently
was thought to be within d game or two
of completion. AS previously reported,
this annual tourney attracted a strong
entry, including the holder of the title,
z. 3. Adams. The closing stages wit
messed hot fight for the lead between
the holder and three others-Snell, Moor
man and Pratt-the remainder of the
field. with two OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
Sze-being apparently beaten off. Quite
near the finish there seemed a strong
prOba bility that Smell would be returned
the winner, but he unexpectedly lost to
SEE. which left Adams with the call the
ing the title if he could win his two re-
naming games. One of these has just
been pulled on. his opponent being Ia
poleOn The last named was in champion
ship form, and after d most strenuous
game. lasting into the wee sma' hours,
succeeded in defeating the title holder.
This result has brought about an eX-
traordinary denouement, since upon in
Vestigating the wins and losses of the
leading scorers 1t appears more than
probable that after one or two minor
games are disposed of the tourney will
end in u quadruple tie between Adams.
Smell. Norman and Pratt. The post
series between these players will surely
furnish a struggle worth seeing.

The base ball team had a very success

is confident that if present plans mature
the team will do even better this year
than last. The team played fifteen games
last year and was victorious in all but
six. two of which were tied. The team
will be in good shape early this season
and will probably make application
