SpRINTER MARTIN LEAVES
WHITMAN FOR NOTRE DAME

The Walla Walla Union has the fol-
lowing to say of Martin, the phenom-
email young sprinter of the northwest;
viii Martin, captain-elect of the
Whitman varsity track team, left
yesterday for Notre Dame, Ind,
where he will enter the university at
that place. For the past three years
Martin has been one of the main
stays of the Missionaries track squad
and his loss will be deeply felt. En-
tering college three years ago from
Touchet, he was picked as a prob
able candidate for the varsity in the
sprints. In the spring tryouts he
showed up remarkably well and in
the meet with the University of Wash
ington in 1906 established a north
west college record in the 100-yard
dash Of 9 4-5 seconds, This last sum-
mer Martin ran for the Seattle Ath-
letic club in the championship meet
held at the App, winning first
place in the 100-yard dash and taxi
ing second place in the 220
Besides being a phenomenal track
man, Martin was also a tower of
strength in football and baseball. He
was not allowed to play much base
ball, however, as it interfered with his
track work.

MIXTURE OF RACES
NO LONGER POSSIBLE

No longer will judges and ministers
of this state be troubled with people
of mixed nationalities wishing to get
married, for according to law pass
ed at the recent session Of the legis-
lature, miscegenation is henceforth
prohibited. This forbids the inter-
marriage of the whites with anyone
of either African or Mongollan de-
scent and the hearing of the new law
has been heralded with appreciation.
At the instigation of Clark coun-
ty representative, this bill was rush.
ed through both houses and though
it has been passed for some time, the
fact is not generally known. A local
person who refused to be quoted in
the matter, had a hand in the affair
and wrote frequent appeals to the va
rious senator's asking them to pass
such a measure. That this is now
accomplished has been the cause Of
much rejoicing and judges and clergy
men alike will not be forced to incur
the enmity of contracting parties who
are legally separated by the bar OF
color.-Walla Walla Statesman.

MEXICO CELEBRATES
"FOURTH OF JULY

City of Mexico, Sept. 16.-The Six
teenth of September, the anniversary
of Mexican independence, was cele-
brated in the usual enthusiastic man
ner throughout the republic today.
The day is not only a national holl-
day and an occasion for a public cele-
bration. but also marks the conven-
ing of the Mexican congress. 1t is
also a day sacred to the fermenting
of half baked revolutions along the
United States border. TIL authorities
have taken every precaution to pre-
vent any such outbreaks this year,
and have had the cooperation of the
American officials along the Rio
Grande. Today is the ninety-ninth
anniversary Of Mexican independ-
ence and the centennial will be cele-
brated next year in magnificent
manner. A commission has been
formed for this purpose and the plans
are now under discussion.
The days festivities in the capital
began this morning with the firing
of a salute. followed by a grand mill
tary pageant. Races and other
sports attracted the attention Of
majority of the people.

WOMAN APPLIES HORSE
WHIP TO JUSTICE

Los Angeies-Because Justice of
the Peace O. S. Bulkley made alleg-
ed disparaging remarks about her,
Mrs George Cark, wife of an Ante
lope rancher, publicly horse-whipped
the official, according to information
that reached this city today
Mrs. Clark, according to the story,
purchased a small rawhide whip Sat-
urday evening and started on hunt
for the justice. She found him Sun
day morning at the Lancaster railroad
station, where half of the population
of the village had gathered prepara-
tory to accompanying the Lancaster
baseball team to nearby town.
"You are just the man I'm looking
for" calmly declared Mrs. Clark
when she discovered Bulkley in the
crowd. Then 1t is alleged, she be-
labored him about the read and body
with the whip until she was seized
by deputy constable.
Bulkley denies that he made insult
ing remarks about the woman.

THOUSANDS OF ACRES
GO TO HOMESEEKERS

Lakeview, Ore.-The distribution
of the lands of the Oregon Valley
Land company, owners of the old
Oregon military road grant, and the
Heryford Cattle company's lands, not
only 10 the largest private land open
ing in history, but it differs in many
ways from land allotments made by
the United States government. In the
Lakeview opening every participant
gets a tract of land and town lot.
There are no blanks.
Three hundred thousand acres of
land are being distributed practically
without expense to the public. The
lands were cut into 1892 tracts,
varying in size from 10 acres to 1000
acres, and that number of contracts
were sold for 5000 each. Every con-
tract being good for tract of land
and a Lakeview lot. The purchasers
live in every state in the union, but
the bulk of the contracts were sold
in the middle west. About 5000 con-
tracts were sold in Nebraska, 1000 in
Kansas. and smaller allotments in
Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana,
Minnesota, Oklahoma and other
states. Nearly 1000 contracts were
bought by Oregon and California
people.
These purchasers are represented
here by less than 1900 men. The
contracts stipulate that the land COM
pany should pay railroad fare and $25
expense money to one in every ~
contract purchasers, these represen-
tatives to attend the opening and
transact the business The details
are looked after by three trustees,
elected by contract holders. The
trustees conduct the auction, examine
the titles to the lands, and see to it
that the opening is carried on strictly
under the terms of the contract.
The keenest friendly rivalry Is
shown between the various states,
and as there are many experienced
politicians, the log rolling much re-
sembles an average state convention.
The preeminent feature of the pre-
Iiminaries is the good nature that
prevails. The visitors are well pleas
ed with Oregon, and show it in their
willingness to cooperate in formulat-
ing fair regulations for the distribu-
tion of the lands.
The grounds around the main tent
are covered with tents Of visiting
delegations and various booths and
restaurants, and the scene resembles
a monster camp meeting. The open
ing will occupy from two to three
weeks
