MISSOURI DRYS PLAN MOVE.
Leaders Asks How Many Petitioners
Needed to Get Special Election.

JEFFERSON CITY. No. Aug. q
Charles E. Stokes of Kansas City, a
leader of the prohibition movement in
Missouri, today made official inquiry
of Secretary of State Roach as to the
number of petitioners required to Sc
cure a special election to which shall
be submitted the question of prohibit
ton
While Stokes did not say so in his
communication, yet it is clearly the
intention of the prohibition managers
in Missouri to try to have a special
election called under the initiative and
referendum.
In replying to Stokes. Secretary
Roach quotes the law. which says:
The minimum number of petitioners

petition, when filed with the secretary

of state. shall be five per cent OF the
legal voters in each OF at least TWO
thirds of the congressional districts OF
the state"
In the matter of the number OF
petitioners that the law requires
in the congressional districts
specified by Stokes, Secretary
In replying to Stokes, Secretary
Roach says that 1858 petitioners Sc
cured in the First. Second Third, Sixth
Seventh, Ninth, Thirteenth, Four
teenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth dis
tricts, will be sufficient under his IN
terpretations of the law to submit the
proposition This estimate is based
on five per cent of the vote for pres
ident cast at the November, 1908, cleo
ton, the total in the districts named
being 44530S.

Amid salutes OF the French and

led by the full staff of naval officers.

IN British labor circles there is great
indignation that the king should con-
sent to receive "Russia's bloody ty

PUTS
UP THE Dough

CHICAGO, Aug. George Lytle,
manager of Jack Johnson, today post
ed with Ed Smith of this city $4,000
as a forfeit on a fight with Jeffries
Jeffries has already posted a like
amount with Robert Edgren of New
York. This makes the match for the
championship of the world seem more
of reality. Johnson's money will be
transferred to New York.
The only conditions set by Johnson
are that Jeffries set the time and
place for the match before he sails for
Europe.
Johnson leaves for Toronto Wednes-
day. He will arrive in New York lat
er and hopes to meet Jeffries person
ally to arrange the fight.
He gave out the impression that he
thought Jeffries will back out of the
match. Friends of Jeffries believe him
serious in his attempt to win back
the championship to the white race.

body of Ernest G. Calvert, aged q, of
Bellingham, who was drowned Satur-

he was to have married next day. CAL

by Miss Agnes Pierson, his fiancee.
Calvert was visiting at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. r. c. Piles, who live on
the east shore of the lake. He went
with the Piles family and Miss Pier
son, swimming. Piles and Calvert en-
tered the water, and the women re-
manned on the bank. They saw Cal
vert double up from a cramp and sink
before Piles could rescue him. Earlier
that day Calvert had saved an ex-
hausted swimmer.

GOOD ROADS.

Public opinion Seems to have be-
come aroused TO the Importance of good
roads and it begins to look as though
we are soon to have necessary legis-
lation to put this much-needed reform
into effect
No greater benefit could come to a
country or a state, like Washington,
for example, than the building of good
roads one familiar with the high
ways, of England, France and Ger
many realizes what good roads can
do for a country. For the farmer il.
means easier and quicker commune
cation. between the farm and the mar
ket, thus increasing the value both Of
his land and its products. 1t is money
in his pocket, and added years to his
life. 1t brings him SO much the nearer
to centers of trade, and makes travel
ing a delight instead of a burden.
For the tourist by automobile or
carriage it enhances a thOusandfold
the pleasure of journey, making it
possible for the inhabitants of different
parts of the state to become better
acquainted with each other, and so to
know the needs of the whole state and
to cooperate to meet them. Easy
modes of intercommunca is the
surest and quickest method of de-
Veloping the material resources of a
heIpfulness.
Good roads, too, attract immigra-
ton. Seekers of homes locate, other
things being equal, where the envi-
ronment is pleasing, and there is no
rural attraction equal to Well-made

allied this they would consider their
road tax the best possible investment.
and demand of the state legislature
large appropriations for the construc-
ton of better highways. They would
also adOrn the roads that pass their
homes with lines of shade trees. than
which nothing adds more of beauty to
the landscape. or more of pleasure and
comfort to the traveller
Let us hope that the dweller in the
Walla Walla valley and the dweller in
Walla Walla city alike will awake
to the urgent necessity of better roads
and unite to secure them

Strike Threatened.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-If the general
industrial strike threatened in Spain
within 4S hours succeeds, Spain will
probably be a republic. Only a sud-
den weakening on the part of the
strike leaders can precent a great in
dustrial upheaval- The strike probably
will spread throughout all the mum

SALEM, Aug. 2.-Governor Benson
was notified this morning by Secretary
of State Knox of the proposal to

the reduction, believing that reduc-
ton of 3 cents would be the proper
reduction and the Houston Calves
ton differential should be maintained.
The cause of the proposed reduction
is found in the last report for twelve

operation of the Texas railroads for
that period to be over $20,O0O,0OO.
Should the reduction be made, it would
mean. loss of revenue to the railroads.

TEXAS AND HER ADVERsITIES

With an area greater than that Of
the German Empire or the French
republic, Texas is spread over such
a large portion of the earth that she
is sure to be hit occasionally by some
of the sings and arrows of outrage
Gus fortune. Some part of her i'm
peTial domain is visited nearly every
year by flood, cyclone drought tidal
wave or hurricane. The effect. how
ever. is usually restricted to the Sec
ton which is struck. The state as a
whole generally does not feel it.
In the hurricane and tidal wave in
Texas a few days ago the damage
was less than would have been in
ficted formerly The destruction from
the tidal wave of 1900 has not been
repeated. Apparently the hurricane
covered more of the state than did
that of nine years ago, but the de-
struction has been less This is prob
ably due to the greater strength of the
buildings which have been erected
within recent times. Texas has had
fair share of the prosperity which
the country enjoyed in the half a
dozen years ending with 1907. More
over. like most of the rest of the
Southwest, the setback of 1907 0S had
comparatively little effect in Texas.
The sea wall which Galveston erect
ed so as to prevent a repetition of the
disaster of 1900 appears to have &C.
