perished The fugitive was tracked in
the snow that covered the foothills,
and was brought here for trial, being
convicted after most hotly- contested
case.

been long personally acquainted with

not out of place. Royse has a wife and

fications be followed; that the con-
struction of the roads be under the di-

be amended accordingly.

"Jute Mill Junction.!
If plans now being formulated can
be carried through to a complete re-
alization, such will be the new station
called by railroad men running be-
tween here and other parts of the state,
and the trains will come to stop at
the new station just outside the limits
of the city of Walla Walla. The name
given above has not yet been decided
upon. but is given as a suggestion, as
there are many people here who, be-
lieying the state prison should have
a name other than. the 'Walla Walla
penitentiary," would be in favor of al
most any old kind of a designation for
the place.
The question Of giving the prison a
name, in order to remove from the city
as much of the stigma occasioned by
the term "Walla Walla prison." as
possible, has been considered by the d.
rectors of the Commercial club, and
the sentiment prevails that, even
though the penitentiary is a good thing
for the town in a business way, ii
casts a reflection on the fair name OF
Walla Walla, and people throughout
the state, on meeting any one from this
city, almost invariably ask, How long
did you serve? 2"

suit of having a state institution locat-

its equivalent. To teach longer, one
must then have normal training to get

THE provisions are good. in my

tainly is a good thing. 1 think a
teacher certainly should have two
years of high school work if he is to

years is not too much. If one teaches
more than IL years, he is making it
a profession for life and should be
prepared thoroughly for it.

that appropriations already requested
greatly exceed the estimated revenues
of the state, the Walla Walla senator
is confident that the money can be
secured to erect the chapel and make
other needed improvements on the
hill" Regarding 1.-THE fierce conte1i-
tion which has arisen over the warden
ship of the pen, Senator Cox who is
admittedly a friend of Warden c.. s.
Reed had but little to say He admitted
that strong forces We're at work look
ing to the removal of Mr. Reed and
the substitution of Frank KEGS for
the job, but he professed ignorance of
any plan of the senate to block ap-
pointments of Governor Cosgrove in
case the incoming governor decided to
force the appointment of Kees through
the state board of control.
In common with the rest of the
members of the upper house, Senator
Cox is making considerable fun of tho
house Of representatives because the
latter body violated the constitution by
adjourning for greater period
than three days without the
consent of the senate. Friday
morning the house adjourned un-
til 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, which is

about 3 1-2 hours more than the three

ally believed that any complications
will ensue

sion, and stated that he expected both
houses to get down to business early
