ALDRrcH AND THE TARIFF.

/ dreamed dream
Methought it was dream,
Although it may have been a scream.
Methought | stood inside the gate
OF Paradise, happy fate,
And watched st. Peter handling those
Who sought a final, sweet repose.
Among the others still outside
Was one of manner dignified
Who when his turn had come approached
AS though he had been fully coached
"And who are you, the saint inquired.
The applicant looked bored and tired.
"My name is Aldrich; have been"
"Oh, yes, know, the saint broke in;
"You are the gent who seems to think
A tariff can't be on the blink.
The statesman stiffly bowed his head.
st. Peter softly smiled and said:
1--WE have tariff up here, too,
On all that we admit, as you
Believe in having, and we fix
A rate as in your politics,
With special interests well in sight
SO we may get our friends in right.
Now you, for nstance-well now say,
You're special in different way,
And when we come to you we give
A rate that is prohibitiye,
And as you can't land here, old man,
You've got to get in where you can.
Forthwith the saint the portal slammed
And Aldrich murmured, "Well, I'm
damned ~
A deep dark voice cried, That's no
joke ~
So loud it was that awoke.

Oshkosh Northwestern; Whenever
it comes to a question of high or low
tariff rates it is noticed that Senator
LaFollette votes for the lower and SEN
ator Stephenson for the higher rates.
And the people Of Wisconsin are COM

why our senators never seem able to

For a couple of weeks past a few
men have been picking up samples

south Of the town of Hover and
sending them away to various assay
offices and getting back the result of
the tests. A. J. Wilhelm, f. l..

and Jack Dale proceeded to file
claims on the strength of these as
says which vary from nothing up to
$500 per ton. Then the news be-
came more generally known and
within the last few days the Kenne-
wick Valley has the scene of a gold
rush in miniature and many resi-
dents of the valley have sought the
new Eldorado and filed claims over
wide expanse of territory. The
finds have been all made on or near
the surface and as yet no heavy
work has been done to follow lead
or anything of that kind. About
fifty claims have been filed and the
procession has only just started.

WANTS TO Be
STATE ACCOUNTANT |

W. S. Jenkins, NOW serving his
second term as auditor of Benton
county, is an applicant for the APP
pointment as member Of the state
board of accountancy. The board
consists of three members appointed
by the governor. Governor Hay
will look long time to find man
as well fitted by ability, training
and experience as accountant as Mr.
Jenkins. He had two years ex-
perience as government auditor in
the PHILIPPINES and has this decided
advantage over other candidates in
that he actually in charge of coun-
ty zy6fice and has had experience
with Washington records and sys-
TENS. He is endorsed by the coun-
ty auditors association and by prom
inent men generally. 1t is the
universal wish of the Kennewick
people among whom he formerly
lived that he win the coveted ap-
pointment.

SIGNS PAPERS ON DEATHBED

Just before dying, as the result OF
injuries received while breaking
horse, Peter Deheck, a homestead
er near Kiona, made his final COM
mutation proof before County Clerk
Marsh, acting as United States COM
missioner. The land will revert to
his heirs, residents of Wisconsin.
The death of Mr.. Deheck last
Friday brought out a strange cir.
cumstance, as if it was his desire TO
leave the homestead that brought
about his death. He was endeavor-
ing to break wild horse, SO it
could be sold Immediately, when
tn, animal threw him. His bowels
we're partially paralyzed.
Feeling complications might en-
sue over the title and Communication
proceedings, it was decided to have
his proof taken on his deathbed.
J.F. Nolan, brother-in-law, was
in the city when Deheck died, and
left today with the body for Ere
donia, Wis.

ter, of Montana, is chairman, will
visit the various irrigation projects
IN the Northwest the coming sum-
mer. The committee will be in the
Yakima valley August II, IS, 19
and 20 and will make a thoro inyes-
tigation of every phase of the work
of the reclamation service. The
committee considers that the water
users under these projects should
be heard fully in regard to legisla-
ton which affects directly or indi-
rectly the work of reclamation and
desire full expression of their de-
liberate opinion on the law, its ad-
ministration and the suggestion Of
amendments they think advisable
and useful. When this committee
is in the valley would be good
time to press the claims OF. the Ben
ton project for development and ir-
rigation.

BEST CAME EVER
White BLUFFS PUTS UP A FINE
EXHIBITION OF CLASSY
BASE BALL

Kennewick defeated White Bluffs
by score of 2 to 0 last Sunday on
the home grounds. 1t was the fin
est game ever played on the Kenne-
wick diamond. Neither side scored
until the eighth inning. Hunting
ton then scored on a fuke. Grain
had just struck out and Heck threw
the ball out to We'll at second to
catch Honey" mapping. He
missed the ball and the runner
started for third and We'll threw
over the base, letting him score. In
the same inning Hassig singled
stole second and scored on Jack
man 8 safe hit to left field. This is
the complete story of the scoring.
Both teams were in fine shape
and both pitchers were full of gin
ger. Henning, for White Bluffs,
was especially strong, striking out
nine men. C-ain, for kennewick,
pitched good heady game, strik-
ing out six men and fielding his po-
sition perfectly. The Mating was
light on both sides, nothing better
than single during the game.
Jackman led the batting. White
Bluffs made 8 hits and Kennewick
5.
The game was played fast and
snappy thruout and the large crowd
was kept right up on their toes with
excitement all the time. Quite q
little money changed hands on the
result. J. II. Sylvester was the
satisfactory umpire. The return
game will be played at White Blnffs
on June 18th.
The tabulated score follows:

NEWSPAPER MAN MADE
ALASKA'S GOVERNOR

This newspaper rejoices in Mr..
Clark honor, but it regrets his APP
poirtment, for we lose a truthful
faithful and able correspondent
Alaska gains good governor.
The acknowledgements closed an
editorial with the foregoing COM
ment devoted to Walter Clark, the
Washington newspaper correspond
ent who has been named Governor
of Alaska by President Taft. Slow
ly but surely the down trodden
newspaper man seems TO be coming
into his own. Clark has for years
been the Washington correspondent
of the Post-Intelligencer and the
New York Sun. While Clark has
never resided in Alaska, he has
visited the country a number of
times and has made close study of
conditions there. Local Alaskars
who frequent Washington City say
that while in the National Capitol
Clark Office is always their head
quarters.
1t is stated that while Senator
Piles offered no opposition to Clark
he was in no sense overioyed with
the appointment. But Senator Piles
docs not seem to be having things
his own way these days. Secretary
of the Interior Ballinger, for in
stance, is much closer to the Presi-
dents ear, and Ballinger ard Senat-
or Piles have no great love for each
other. When Ballingcr went back
to Washington as Commissioner
General of the U. S. Land office un-
der Roosevelt it is said that Piles
passed him up Now Ballinger
10 on top of the heap and is not
atraining any points to show the
Senator from Seattle any courtesies.

old and had been afflicted with the
disease for some time. She leaves

The Woman's Missionary Society
of the Presbyterian Church held
their most elaborate and successful
tea and entertainment at the home
of Mrs. G.. CARRIER Wednesday after
noon.
The theme of the meeting was the
Alaska missionary work and the
funds were for the training school

Training school and told of the need
for the new buildings. Miss Ruby

titled The Plea of Alaska Womann
Vocal solos were sung by Miss Louise
Gravenslund and Pearl Weisel, and
the Juniors rend cred chorus. The
most interesting exercise however
was in connection with the Hero
Quilt" The quilt had the names
of missionery heroes embroidered on
it and when a name was read a
member Of the junior society point
ed on a missionary map of the
world the field in which he worked.
Refreshments were served in a
snow covered and brilliantly illum-
mated booth which was very pretty.
! About fifty enjoyed the afternoon
and were instructed by the differ
ent features Of the program.
