OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE
CITY OF ELLENSBURG

THE steady and onward growth
of Ellensburg is not fully realized
by many people who live in the
city and valley a common re-
mark by travelling men now days
is: Ellensburg is coming to the
front in fine shape, it is fine
town, one of the best that make. y
There is no boom, but steady on
ward and upward growth that i'll
dictates an abiding faith i'll the
future of the city that is destined
to soon outstrip any town i'll the
state between Seattle and Spokane.
IT. the people Of kittitas ever
intended to lay claim to any of the
waters in the big lakes within the
confines of its limits; if they ever
expected to protest against the un-
Just way that they are being treat
ed by those in authority of the re-
Clamation service with any hope of
reward, now, today, is the time to
Law claim to said water and protest
in a vigorous manner against even
a single inch of Kittitas water go
ing into Yakima county to be APP
piled on arid lands in that district.
The pace set by Denmark Grange
is all O. X. and meets Our hearty
approval, and the memorial written
by Judge Kaufman for that body
expresses Our sentiment fully.
WITH this issue we start Vol.
l6, No. /, of The Dawn, present
ing it too, in what we deem more
desirable form, a six column folio
was too small, and to put in an
extra sheet made much extra work
and we could not afford to run all
eight page six column for the price,
so we have adopted this form "a
five column quarto-as the best for
the present at least. 1t of course,
adds much extra work, but we
trust our readers will give us that
support to justify it, and we most
certainly believe they will We
propose to make The Dawn from
this date on a paper that you can
not afford to turn down, it will be
a household necessity. We need
your help and we will help you if
you will permit us to do so. Note
the improvements in this issue over
any other issue of it that you ever
received. Look it over carefully,
consider the advantages of having
it come to your home for year.
and if you ale not already sub

name for year and at the end of
that year if you can truthfully say
that you have not had the worth of
your money, we will cheerfully re-
fund it to you.

WOULD MEAN A BIG INCREASE
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, December %. - II
Rear-Admiral Holiday, chief Of the bu-
reau of yards and docks, has his way
about it, the big drydock at Pearl Har-
bar Naval Station, Honolulu, will be
1913 feet in length, instead of 600. In
a memorandum addressed to Secretary
of the Navy George Won L. Meyer,
which was made public yesterday, Holli'
day expressed the belief that it would
be a grave mistake to build drydock
less than 723 feet in length.
The rapid increase in the size of war
ships since the vessels of the Dread
nought class made their advent has
necessitated the construction of large
drydocks. 1t was the original inten
ton to have the Pearl Harbor doch
considerably longer than is contemp!lat
ed under present plans, but reduc
ton in size was made necessary by
scarcity of funds.

GOOD SHOW FOR
THE HAWAII BILL
The Governor Writes That DepeW
Will Introduce 1t in
the Senate.

Acting Governor Mott-Smith received
by the Hilonian letter from Governor
Frear, written at Washington. There
was little of immediate interest to the
public in the letter, Mr.. MottSmith
says, it being largely gossip of the
chances of passage by congress of the
Organic Act amendment bill. The Gov
ernor takes a vely rosy view of the
situation and seems to think that there
will be no great difficulty in getting the
bill through congress at this session.
Senator Depew of New York is count
ed upon to introduce the measure, while
Senator Dillingham; of Vermont, who
was here last summer as a member OF
the immigration commission, will prob
ably do all in his power to get il
through.

All is not as peaceful as it might be
around the city hall. Jim Quinn is just
plain mad, without any frills; Joe Fern
shows very evident desire to stand
from under, and County Clerk kalau-
okalani is apologize and harassed. And
the whole trouble is the outcome of
Fern IS successful effort at suppressing
the criminal charges against his friend
j. X. Paele, road overseer of Koolau'
poke.
The high-handed manner in which the
charges against Paele, which are said
to include a charge of forgerv. were
squelched has caused no little adverse
comment. Supervisor Quinn before
whom, as chairman of the road commit
tee of the board, the charges against
Paele should have come, is mad clear
through. Despite the statement, credit
ed to the Mayor by an afternoon paper,
that the road committee was conversant
with the charges against Paele, Quinn
was absolutely ignorant of the exist
ence of the affidapits, which were sur
pressed by order of the Mayor, until
| he read the account of the high handed
dealings in The Advertiser yesterday
morning.
Quinn was forced to leave the meet.
ing Tuesday night before the argument
over the affidavits came up, and he
knew nothing about them. Had he been
aware of their existence, he would have
insisted on having them read right
then and there.
Supervisor Logan, who agreed to the
postponement of action on the charges
was wholly ignorant of their serious
nature and supposed that the whole
thing had to do with some unimportant
matter which could easily be disposed
of at some other time.

GROUCHES PREVAIL
AT THE CITY HALL
Mayor Would Pass Responsibility for Smother
ing Paele Case Up to Cerk---He
Says Nay.

The first thing yesterday afternoon,
Supervisor Mcclellan, Joe Ferns lieu
tenant, discovered that he had made a
serious tactical blunder and visited The
Advertiser office to explain how it all
came, about. According to his story,
Joe Fern evidently pulled the wool over
his eyes, inducing him to have the
papers squelched without knowing their
nature. 1t was no desire to turn the
talk into other channels which prompt
ed him to urge the board to go on with
the business at hand while Milverton
was trying to explain the status of af-
fairs to the board. -
Yesterday afternoon an Advertiser
reporter asked Joe Fern for the aft.

county clerk" responded the CHIEF
executive, passing the buck up to tn,

Thomas Watson is the man VIII
brings the charges against Paele. L
his affidavit he swears that he was EN-
ployed on Waikane bridge work an,
then relates some interesting affair
connected with the work. But the i'm

HAS HIS PUNCH LEFT.
Sam Berger Remarks That Jeffries is
His Old Self.

Sam Berger, Jeff's sparring partner,
says the pig fellow still has the punch.
Berger testified to his speed, stamina
and alertness, saying he never had
seen a big man that could equal him.
He added significantly that jeff still
has his punch with him, and this is
ever and always the test. Most men
who are grouped under the class Of
those that "have been" may retain
their confidence, their accuracy of de-
livery and their speed, but fail in the
essential of the punch. In other
words, to their trainers and handlers
and the men who watch them work
out they are as they ever were, but
they lack the force behind the blow
that in their prime would have been
fatal TO their adversary.
Superfluous flesh always may be
worked off and wind regained, but it is
the punch, the decisive blow, that al
ways has been the crucial test which
determined the man who was from that
which he again desired to be. There
can be, under the conditions, no better
witness than Sam Berger, who has
most recently been with Jeff and who
says he has reason to>>know from ex-
perience that the good old punch still
is the distinguishing characteristic of
the pride of the white man.

sPoILs FIELDERs' BATTING.
Man Who Has to Catch Ball Looking
Into Sun Loses Batting Eye.

Many great batters are spoiled by
being forced to play a sun field. In most
major league parks Old Sol is bad only
early and late IN the season.
To any one who has never experience
ed the sensation of trying to catch
ball which scars directly into the sun.
this would not seem a difficult task,
but when tried it becomes apparent
that it Is a matter of no small amount.
To the sun field that Willie Keeler
has been forced to play, hiS falling off
in batting is due, and when it is con-
sidered that he usually hits well on the
road, it is probable there is something
in his complaint. says Addie Joss.
The smoked glasses which outfield-
ers who are forced TO play the sun field
usually wear help somewhat, but the
pasturer who is required to work in
field of this kind right along is bound
to sooner or later slump in his hitting.
Oven though batters may not hit a
ball into the sun during an inning, the
fly chaser is constantly forced to look
into the rays so that when a drive is
hit at him he will know just how to
play it.
The only chance the fielder has to
get any relief is to look down at the
green grass, and while this eases the
binding effect somewhat, it far from
leaves the sight as clear as it should
be.
It is a mighty tough proposition, this
playing of a sun field. and it Is a won
der that men who toll in the glare are
able to hit the ball at all.
