Mayor TauSiCk
First to Register

That Walla Walla has mayor who
is not to be crowded from his right
of franchise at the polls for the COM
ing year because of failure to register,
was proven Monday morning, when,
bright and early, Mayor Eugene Tau
sick called at the Office of City Clerk
T. D. S. Hart and started the ball
rolling by attaching his signature to the
first oath in the new oath-book. 1t
was a precedent handed down from
past generations and Mayor Tausick
is long on precedent; therefore when
he calls for his ballot for the coming
elections, officials in charge of the
polls will gladly comply with the re-
quest, knowing that his name was the
first to grace the unsoiled pages Of
the new registration books in the
clerks Office.
Up to noon there had been a total
of Is voters registered among the
number being the city clerk, Council
man Fritz Lehn, John Stack and Of
ficiais occupying offices in the city
hall,

Civil Cases in
Superior Court

Two civil cases were heard in Judge
Brents' chambers this morning, both
without jury
In the first H. S. Fender is suing S.
D. Mcdonald for possession of land
near Prescott. From the evidence Of
the plaintiff it seems that Fender had
a judgment against Mcdonald, who,
anticipating it, decided his property to
his sisters. Therefor he claims the
deed is not good, as he says the sale
was not bona fide, and he asks judg-
ment. Mcdonald claims the sale was
bona fide, and made before any knOwl-
edge Of the judgment was in his pos
session,
The second case is that Of G. G.
Potter, against Steve MaXOn for the
possession of a horse. MaXon bought
horse of J. B. Dunham, a horse
dea er, who says he bought the animal
in Burns, Oregon. Potter, however,
has a brand that is similar to the one
one the animal. "P bar" and as he
has never sod any horse with this
brand, he is sure it is his

gether through the evenings social fes-
tivities.
Although a question of vital impor-
tance was up before the association
last night, one that called for much dis
cussion on both sides, there was lit
tie. if any, personal feeling, and good
nature reigned supreme throughout.
The motions of Dr. E. E. Fall that the
bylaws be amended so as to provide
for 25 per cent of the active members
of the association being necessary to
constitute quorum, and another that
the name be changed to the "Walla
Walla Valley Manufacturers associa-
ton" were. in accordance with the pro-
visions of the bylaws, referred to the
board of trustees, being reported upon
favorably The proposed amend
ments will be submitted to the regular
membership meeting to be held Mon
day evening, January IS.
In addition to the important busi-
ness of the next meeting, there is to
be a feed" served by the association,
to be followed with a box of Kan's
cigars.
Among the speakers last night were
P. N Conway, Louis Kan, DR.. E. L
Fall, H. c. Gibson, E. S. Isaacs, jess
Ferney, E. G. Cox, and c. E. Nye
Among the names suggested for the
association under the enlargement was
Inland Empire Manufacturers asso-
ciation.' However, the name, "Walla
Waila Valley" association was thought
to fin all requirements, and at the
next regular meeting the action Of the
trustees will come up for ratification.
The attendance last night was the
largest that has characterized a meet
ing Of the association in some time,
showing that the manufacturers are
preparing to start the new year with
vim and activity that will insure
unlimited benefit to members Of the
organization. 1t is desired that every
member be in attendance at the next
meeting, as business Of importance is
to come up for consideration.

GOVERNMENT TO
PAY BIG CLAIMS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-Tomorrow
the senate will take up the so-called
omnibus claims bill-a big measure,
whose passage will bring pay and
cash to a large number of persons
who have claims against the govern
ment and have been waiting, more or
less patiently. for their money.
The legislative. executive and judi
cial appropriation bill, which carries
the money for most of the salaries IN
tho various government departments,
also probably will be acted upon this
week.
So far there has been no construc-
tive legislation attempted. The SEN
ate has been waiting upon the house,
and in doing this has made 1t appar-
ent that it is not the intention of the
leaders to do much more than pass
the usual appropriation bills at this
last session of the siXtieth congress.
A bill will be introduced in both
house Of congress this week to cor
rect defects in the laws governing the
administrative features Of banking. 1t
was drawn by Lawrence o. Murray
comptroller of the currency. 1t Will
follow the lines Of his testimony
which was given to the commission
in the presence Of the legislative COM
mittee of the American Bankers as
sociation and other prominent nation
al bankers. 1t is not intended that 1t
shall embrace any proposed changes
Of the law likely to engender contro-
versv hut that the amendments shall
be confined to acknowledged defects.

TwENTY-FIz|H.. GENTS PER MONTH.
North SeCoS Street to be

the Federal Building Site

study to ferret out The north siders,
many of whom are working in the en-
deavor to retain the selection of Spe-
cial Agent Mcdowell of the Reynold' s
side for the federal building, have
been met with the argument of the
south-sidars that the proposed loca-
tion of the site is outside of the paved
district, making it unsatisfactory for
the federal building. With North Sec
ond, North Third and Rose street
paved in accordance with THE specifi-
cations of the petitions to be presented
tonight, that objection, which appears
to be the main one entered by the
south-siders will be overcome, and
the proposed federal muilding would
be on North Second street, with paw
ing on the north and south.
Among THE property owners whose
signatures appear on the petitions are:
Robert H. Johnson, who owns prop
elrty in all of the districts; J. T. Tim
ons, Mrs. c.. E. Hammond, Peter Kauff-
man, A. w. Severance, F. K. Theil,
Whitehouse- Crawford company, and
c. M. Taylor. In addition, the names Of
those interested in the selection of the
site for the federal building are at
tached.
Those whose names appear ON tho
remOnstrance against the Rose street
pavement in the communication filed
with the council at the last meeting,
are: J. F. TalabereI Charles Martin.
John Stevens, Mrs. Mary Jensen, A.
NJ. Lizenby, c. Nj Kenny, William
O'Donnell Hardware company, DAWN
& Michellod. Joseph DAWN, Grass

bert estate by executor, Now Yuen
company, and Mary j. Thomas.
That the petitioners are anxious to
have the work taken up at the earliest
possible moment and desire it to go on
uninterrupted until all contracts are
carried out, is proven by the unsolici-
ted agreement to pay for all street in
tersections, thus putting the city to
no expense whatever in connection
with the paving. 1t is said to be more
than probable that before the pave
ment is laid, in case the north siders
get together a large trunkli sewer
will be laid in Rose street to elimin-
ate the necessity of tearing up the
pavement at some future time

Pioneer Passes
The Last Divide

.. D. Owens one of the Oldest
ranchers of the Walla Walla valley,
died this morning at his home, 1919
East Alder street, asthma being the
cause Of death.
Mr.. Owens was born in Tennessee,
December 10, 1885, In 1859 he came
across the plains to Walla Walla and
has lived in the valley ever since that
time. For many years he was engaged
in farming near this city and retired
some nine years ago and has since
made his home here. He was well
known to many here, and took an ac-
tive hand in the early development Of
the country
He is survived by his wife. four
sons and two daughters. Their names
are: B. ]. Owens, of Eureka; ]. A
Owens and N L. Owens of this city;
M. S. Owens, Of Idaho; Mrs. Rose Hale.
of Astoria; and Mrs Vina Lieuellen, of
this city.
Funeral services will be held to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock from the
family residence. Interment will be
made in the Valley Chapel cemetery.

Consolidation
Is not Popular

Although members of the water COM
mittee met in the council chambers
this morning to consider questions
that are likely to crop out at the
meeting tonight, nothing was said for
or against the proposed scheme given
publicly some time ago, to consolidate
the office of water superintendent with
that of the city engineer. 1t was
learned this afternoon that members
of the council still stand where they
did two weeks ago, when Councilmen
Bachtold, Cummings, Stack and White
man lined up opposing the move, and
Councilman Niebergall, Hull and Lehn
favored the consolidation.
In view Of the fact that the wouldbe
consolidators can hope to win nothing
by the intro juctiOn Of the question at
the session tonight it is considered
likely that nothing whatever will be
said. Members of the water commit
tee are said to have made thorough
investigation Of the figures set forth
in the communication drawn up by w.
L. Cadman on request, with the result
that figures supposed to show the ex-
penses of the water department were
magnified approximately 80 per cent.
But even though the council may not
take action in the consolidation scheme
its members are seeking diligently for
a place where the expenses of the city
can be cut down, and that few heads
will drop into the basket tonight is not
a remote possibility.

To Make Washington Arid Waste

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9Th project
for a dry Washington, which has
been urged for years by anti saloon
refOrmars and has found expression
in a bill introduced by Representative
Sims, was considered today by the
house committee on district affairs.
That the people of the national cap
ital will not be allowed to vote on
the liquor question is already decided.
The members all agree the prohibi-
ton question is one upon which alt
the people should be satisfied, but
they say the plan to allow them to
vote would be more difficult to arrange
than would the passage Of the bill.
They also contend that sufficient
hearings have been allowed by the dis
trict committee for all interested per-
sons to state their approval or objec
ton to the bill introduced by Rep
resentative Sims.
If the question were submitted to a
vote of the people, say some of the
committeeman congress would have to
give it's sanction to it anyway, and.
therefore they contend voting on the
proposition is useless. If the commit

expected to take the lead in working
for new laws. Among the movements
on foot is one providing that all mu-
nicipal work shall be done exclusively
by citizens, the object being the exclu-
sion of convict and alien labor, prin-
cirally Japanese. The resolution has
been passed by the Spokane union men
and is to be presented to the fedora
ton for ratification.
That the resolution will be adopted
by the state convention, and a request
made for it's enactment into a law by
the state legislature is already said to
be assured The resolution is as fol-
lows:
whereas in municipal work the cit
izens and home builders are often dis

by those having such work in charge
by the cheaper nom citizen, and
Whereas such discrimination Is
detrimental to the material welfar not
only Of the municipality, which coun-

laborer and homes builder as well:
therefore be it
