Bunc Gives 1t Up.

After endeavOring for more than a
wee; to answer the charges of The
Statesman that the whole thing Is a
fake, the bunc has craWled into its
hole and resigned itself to it's fate,
much after the manner of a rat that
has been caught in hole with q hose
nozzle at the upper end. Sympathy is
quite appropriate to the occasion. and
the bunc manager is getting his for
believing the public could be so easl-
ly deceived into taking the copy
righted" contest seriously. The
Statesman is in possession of facts
that prove beyond all reasonable
doubt that things were not, what they
have seemed in connection with the
great voting carnival. and people who
moved from this city years ago, daily
receiving substantial gains, go far in
proving there is something crooked in
the thing.

LITTLE
BOTHER

That the Walla Walla police have
had less trouble from lfobos this year
than has been known in many seasons
past is the statement of Chief of PO-
lice Mike Davis, who considers the city
fortunate in being passed up by the
hordes of Idle and .shiftless transients
SO noticeable in main line cities
throughout the Pacific northwest. Ac-
cording to the chief the men who have
come to this city during the past sew
eral months have almostI invariably
been in search of work, and grasped
employment. While waiting in the
city for operations in the harvest fields
to begin, the men have been orderly,
and the vast majority>of them have
been supplied with small quantity
of money.
Reports from other cities of the
state are to the effect that unemployed
men abound in large numbers, being Of
that class who do not want work, and
would not accept position were it
offered them. Much complaint is
caused by depredations in gardens and
orchards and the officers are given no
end Of trouble in caring for the inter-
ests of property owners. All points on
the main lines of railroads are said to
be infested with these transients. and
that Walla Walla is free from their
presence is taken as an indication that
the police regulations here have be-
come known to those who annually
drift from one part of the country to
another.
Had Little Trouble.
The blotter in police headquarters
will show that the present season has
been marked with less pilfering in the
outskirts than has been known for
many years Although a number of
unemployed men maintained head
quarters In the JunSles TOT titne dt
the opening of the harvest season. they
went to work as soon as positions were
offered them. and the old camp ground
has since been comparatively deserted.
Those who have refused TO accept en-
ployment have been given the big boot,
and word has evidently been passed
among those who are holding forth In
other cities of the state.

well pIeased that the strict regulations

AMADOR MAY HAVE
HINERS' STRIKE
Companies Refuse to Reinstate
Some of the Leaders

JACKSON. May 25.-There is some
talk of another miners strike being
called in this section as result of
the refusal of the mining companies to
take back certain of the men who took
prominent parts in the walkout of two
weeks ago.
These men have been urging the
union to take steps to force the re-
employment of all strikers, asking that
demands be made for IS per day rate
and the reinstatement of all former en-
ployes.
Their efforts have met with little
success so far and it is considered
doubtful that the union will support
and indorse these demands.
