to pay money to the paving companies
for which nothing is received in re-
turn, property owners in districts
where macadam has been laid feel
to ask that some care
and attention be given their streets.
With the rainy season coming on, II
is desired mud and leaves be cleared
from the roadbed at regular Intervals
and any slight loosening of the sur
face tamped firmly to prevent the
wearing of a hole by the heavy traffic.
The expense of such care, it is held,
would be almost unnoticeable, and
those property owners and tax payers
who have studied the situation are
prone to entertain the opinion that they
are being given the short end of the
street improvement question by MEM
bers of the council and the street COM
mittee. Some have gone so far as to
intimate the street comm1tte is en-
deavoring to give macadam a black eye
in the interests of asphalt, bitulithic
and other hard surface pavements.

CIVILiZING THE INDIAN

our brother in red is not u striking
proof of the theory that civilization
tends to race suicide. The Indian is
multiplying under the influence of civ
ilization, as he gets it. The more
civilization, the more Indians in the
West II this process could be car
ried on to what some people may
claim 10 be its logical results, the re-
suits might be the return of the In
dian. thriving under civilization. to
the possession of the land-if the
theory of white race suicide was more
tenable than it is. None of the pres
eat generation of either whites or reds
can hope to see it carried as far as
that.
The official figures are interesting
none the less The Indian popula-
ton of the United States has increased
about 10000 during the last twenty
years Within that time approximate
ly S1O0,0OO,OO0 has been expended by
the government in works designed to
give the Indians the opportunities and
the necessary means and appliances
for learning how to work, which is
about the best means of civiliZing
anybody. Spending hundred mil
lions to make 10000 new Indians may
not be regarded by everybody as a
the only good Indian is q dead one is
not the motive of the work of making
those who had died during many years
in which the death rate was exceeding
the birth rate among nearly all
the tribes. But il is the policy of the
government and it is certain to be
justified in its economic results, as it
is already justified from a civilized
humanitarian point of view 1t may
be possible, during the course of this
generation, to abolish the Indian Of
flee as a branch of the governmental
machinery. Indians are now not only
farmers. though farming is the work
to which most of them naturally have
turned. They are drifting into the
trades and the professions, and their

RYAN INDICTED AGAIN.
Slayer of Edward Dixon Must Face
Charge of Murder.

Again has the slayer of Edward
Dixon been indicted for murder in
the first degree, says the Pendleton
East Oregonian. After two whole
days of investigation and elaboration
the second grand jury to take up the
case brought in the true bill and Mike
Ryan must face a first degree muir
der charge despite the slight error in
the first indictment which made it
necessary for the second to be return
ed The attorneys for the defense will
probably attack this second indictment,
but it is not believed possible that
they will succeed in getting their client
off without a trial.
The investigation of the case was
commenced by the new grand jury
Thursday morning and it is possible
that the indictment might have been
returned that day but for the fact
that Jacob Schubert, the principal
witness for the state had failed to re-
ceive notification to be present. He
arrived Thursday evening and the in

1t is at La Quinto, the magnificent
country residence of Charles T. Taft
that the president will make his home
during his visit He will have $4,000
but members of hiss party and invited
guests will be permitted to cross the
line fence that separates the railroad
from the property.
La Quinto residence is situated
three miles from the town and post
office of Gregory, from which place it
is reached by an excellent road The
town of Gregory belongs to the ranch
property. 1t has population of about
900 persons, all of within are in some
way connected whit the ranch. The
temporary offices of the president twill
be located in a new hotel at Gregory
during the distinguished visitors stay
at La Quinto. The newspaper cor
respondents and most of the members
of the presidents party will make
their headquarters at this hotel. 1t
is connected with La Quinto by
telephone. Should President Taft be
off on a trip over any part of the
ranch it will be an easy matter to
keep in close touch with him, as the
telephone system extends to every
part of the property.
The ranch residence, La Quanta, is
said to be the most magnificent coun-
try home in the southwest. 1t was
completed about a year ago at cost
of 100000. 1t occupies a beautiful

Every person called upon to express
his stand on the liquor question was
most emphatic in his denunciation OF
it. Several of the speakers took oc-
casion to comment on a "long-winded'
article that appeared in one of the af-
ternoon papers Saturday which was
signed by TAX Payer" and in which
he said the town would amount to
nothing without the saloon and its
revenue. Each speaker that dealt with
the article had one particular state
ment to tear to pieces. Rev. Sanders,
pastor of the First M. E. church, said
he had noticed the article and was go
ing to preach his evening sermon yes
terday on it.
One who commented on TAX Pay

there may be seen herds of thorough
bred cattle lazily grazing upon the

of the pastures. Along the railroad
are many cultivated fields, dotted here

acres of the ranch have been converted
into farms and Mr.. Taft recently gave
orders for increasing the cultivated
tract to twelve thousand acres.

with the view Of securing enough sig
natures to make special election for
the settlement of the local option ques-
ton possible Among the number
were business sAnen, ministers and pro-
feSsional men, and during the day a
thorough .apd systematic canvass has
been going on ..for signatures, it be-
ing necessary for the anti-saloon peo-
pie to secure more than 500 names, or
80 per cent of the total vote at the last
regular election.
!. That great interest is to be taken in
the election, in case it is called, is
shown by the big registration in the
city clerks office during the past three
days UP to o'clock this afternoon
ga voters had attached their names. to
the books, many of them being num-
bered among the anti forces. There is
now a total of 2151 names on the
books, and it is expected the registra-
ton when the books are closed on
December 10. will be one Of the largest
ever recorded in Walla Walla.
Can They Get Them?
AS yet no move on tie purt OF the
saloon sympathizers has been made to
show that they are taking an interest
in the movement, but the claim is rree-
ly made today that the required num-
Der of signatures cannot be secured on
the petitions, and that the papers can
not legally be filed in time for the
meeting of the city council tomorrow
evening. Tomorrow is the last day of
grace and in case the 500 names are
not attached there will be rejoicing
on the one side and keen disappoint
ment on the other
There has been some quiet talk to-
day of technicalities arising to post
pone the election until 1910, the gen.
eraI opinion being that voters who fail
ed to register in time for the last city
election are not qualified electors, and
cannot, under the provisions Of the
last session laws, legally sign the pc
tition. In case the anti-salOon forces
secure the necessary number of sig
natures it is more than likely that this
point will be raised.
The first meeting, to which the pub
lie was invited, at which local option
was the principal topic of discussion,
was held in thte Y. NJ G.. A. auditor
ium yesterday afternoon and there
were about $50 representative business
men of the city present. The majority
of them were called upon to express
their views on the matter The meet
ing was presided over by State Sem
ator d. H. Cox.
At the meeting it was brought out
that those circulating the petition
praying that special election be held
on Monday, December 20, have not
been meeting with the success that
was at first reported. AS the petition
has to be filed with the city clerk be-

MACADAM SIGHTED

year, making total of s4,062.50. The
maintenance continues for a period Of
ten years in all contracts, forcing the
city to pay in that period the sum of
$4O,625, for which little or no remune
ration is received.
Care Not Included.
The care of paved streets, the flush
ing, sprinkling and cleaning of catch
basins, which is done by the city street
department, is not included in the
above item for maintenance and it
is because of that fact that property
owners in macadam districts feel that
they are not being given a square deal.
The city, apparently, takes great care
that the paving companies may not be
called upon to make any improve
ments which might come under the
classification OF maintenance, yet at
the same time more than $4,000 are be-
ing paid out annually to the contrac-
ting companies.
In the various macadam districts
the streets are sprinkled during the
sprinkling season, but aside from that.
no attention is given them. Leaves, Of
fal and refuse matter of all kinds are
permitted to accumulate, to the detri-
ment of the life Of the macadam sur
face, and as a result the streets so
improved are in poor condition at the
end of the first six months On South
Palouse street. which was completed
this summer, and which is now show
ing the effects of traffic in several
places, it is said no water was placed
upon the surface during the hottest
portion of the summer, and that it
has never been cleaned. Consequently
property owners are complaining of
poor work. With little attention it
is argued South Palouse would have
proven the best macadam street in the
city, but under the system of care now
in vogue, it is held ether thoroughfares
will, within a few months, present even
a worse appearance.
