Again the griZzled veterans of the
dark days of the early sixties have
commemorated the memory of these

and, though with many a feeble, fall
tering step, Wended their way through
the business portion of the city this
afternoon as an evidence that they
are still triumphant over the lapse of
years that has thinned the ranks and
mellCwed thoughts of the great re-
bellion, when they with feet unweary
and unfaltering, tread the bloody,
smoky, battlefields, and followed their
glorious flag to a nation-reuniting
victory
The parade this afternoon was re-
markable in that the largest number of

the number of nearly a hundred were
in line; Henry Lawton Camp, Span
ish-American war veterans, and the
Sons of Veterans, were represented by

spectacle, as the long line moved
through the streets, was one Unusual
in numbers. The Walla Walla police
force and the fire department also took
part in the parade, and escorted the
warriors on their line of march.

ELLENsBURG. K1rTITAs COUNTY, WASH. JANUARY 7, 1909

This sort of thing is now impossible
The law prohibits under severe penal
ty, first, the contribution of campaign
funds by corporations; second, it pro-
hibits any city official or employe dir
ectly or indirectly receiving any
courtesy or favor from corporations
third, it prohibits under severe penalty
any official or employe being interested
in any contract or job for furnishing
work or material to any public service
corporation.
The separation of the corporations
and the public servants is complete now.
The people are getting absolutely indie
pendent and appropriated service from
their officials and their employees
something that has not been true in
many years previous.

some FUN
"A little fun now and then
is rclishcd by the best Of men.

An old lady III Misslours took her
first railroad trip last week, says the
Butler Democrat. She noticed the
bell-cord overhead and, turning to II
poy, she said: Sonny, what's that
for" THAT, marm," ne said, with ii
mischievOus twinkle in his eye, sit is
to ring when you want something to
eat"
Shortly afterward The old lady
reached her umbrella up to the cord
and gave it a vfgOrOu, pull. The train
was IN the middle OF trestle. The
whistle sounded, the brakes were put
on, the train began to slacken its speed,
windows were thrown up, questions
we're asked and confusion refined
among the passengers. The old lady
sat ca lmly through it all.
Presently the conductor came rur'
ming throug the train and asked: "Who
pulled the bell:"
II did," replied the old lady meekly.
"Well' what do you WANT" asked
the conductor impatien,ly.
"Weil," said TIE old lady meditative.

TOWNSHIP PLAN
GOES FOR NAUGhT
Clark County Commissioners
Divide County Prosecuting
Attorney Says Stop it

VANCOUVER, Wash. Jan. , After
having divided Clark county into
fourteen townships, thinking that they
were acting in accordance with the
purpose, the county commissioners find
that all the trouble and expense go for
naught.
County Attorney Stapleton today adj
vised Robert Lowe, chairman of the
county commissioners, that the election
did not carry, and to take no further
proceedings in the matter
In the letter he said: The statute in
reference to the township provision
reads: Should a majority of the votes
cast on the question of township or.
ganization be IN favor thereof, it shall
be the duty of the board of county
commissioners at their next meeting
after such election. or as soon there
after as practicable, TO divide all the
surveyed portion, outside Of the incor-
poIoICu CltleSj tO"u o VI NliidSco ldtO
organized townships
1t is manifest from this statute the
legislature intended majority of the
votes cast on the question should be all
that is necessary TO determine the
question, and the above statute sup
ports the impression. However, the
authority for the township organ Ia
ton is the constitution OF the state,
section /, article ,, of which reads
The legislature shall establish sys
TEN of county government which >ht.l
De uniform throughout the state anu
by general laws shall provide for town
ship organization, under which i-Dy
county may organize whenever d ma
jority of the qualified electors of such
comfy voting at general election
shall so determine"
The vote cast in Clarke county al
the November election was I, 10. The
nun Der in favor of township organiza-
zion, l,5lj: against BOG. The number
necessary under provision OF the con
5titutiOn would be 2,0s6.
The supreme court has held that this
IS true in the case of Spokane county
