RATES MUST Be MADE
BY us. GOVERNMENT
President of Chicago G. Northwestern
Says That Rates as Now Fixed
Are Unfair to Both Roads
and People.

SEATTLE, July PA. B. Stickney,
president of the Chicago and Great
Western railroad, who is here today,
in discussing the railroad situation of
the country said:
Not until all the railroads are
consolidated or the government pro-
ceeds to do directly what it now at
tempts to do by indirection-that is,
fixes absolutely all railroad rates
will there be an era of stability and
peace and fair play both to railroads
and the public Competition between
railroads make low rates at competi-
tive points, and they are obliged TO
recoup by excessive charge at nom
competitive points. This is most un-
just People have the fright TO com
plain Without a doubt, the railroad
situation shows an Improvement over
that OF year ago."

LOSES HIS BALANCE
FALLS UNDER TRAIN
Youna Man From North Dakota Suf-
fers in Accdent-His Leg Cut
Off Below the Knee by
Wheels.

Endeavoring to obtain a ride on the
rods of freight train leaving this
City for Prescott yesterday morning,
Joe Pitze', of Mandan, N. D., lost his
balance and falling beneath one of
the wheels had his left leg cut off be-
low the knee. Pitzer was in Prescott
last Saturday and had returned to
this city for the purpose of getting his
suit case which he was attempting to
carry on the freight train with him.
This is given as the cause of his ac-
cident, for owing to tie difficulty ne
experienced in carrying it on the
rods" he was unable to keep a firm
hold on them.
Pitzef rs a young felloX who has
been lured to this section of the coun-
try from the middle west by glowing
descriptions from his fellow compan-
ions and stated yesterday that he was
taking his last free ride when the ac-
cident occurred He had secured work
in the harvest neldS near frescoll anu
was ready to settle down to hard
week.
He tells the story of how the acci-
dent happened that has made him
cripple for life, in these words: Il
have been away about ten months.
Last winter 1 worked around Denver,
then l went to Frisco and then came
up here. Saturday, myself and two
other lads went to Prescott to get
work in the harvest fields. We were
promised work and / came back mere
to tell some other boys and intended
to return this morning. / had
suit case and was trying to get on the
rods but the case being heavy 1t over
balanced me, and in order to save the
suit case which was card board anu
1 knew would break if 1 dropped IT,
tried to jump off, but in some way
my leg fell under the wheel. ms
was to be my last trip on the freights
and 1 guess it is now, anyway"

Total

Lorton drew part salary in Janu-
ary for the reason that he was not a
member during the entire month The
salary was divided between him and ]
H. Davis, the retiring member. Lorton
continues on the payroll.
1t is suggested that if the investigat-
ing committee desires to make a record
respecting the board of audit and con-
troll. its members could begin by enioin-
ing the payment of the July warrant
to Lorton, and then by conducting an
Inquiry into the lax methods. The
question of residence is technical. The
point of the matter is that a member
like Lorton is permitted to draw salary
from month to month without giving
an adequate return to the state. 1t
would be pertinent to inquire exactly
what work he has done, how many DAYS
he has labored and the precise and ex-
act nature of his services, if any

With a total registration of 2121
and with approximately 80 po.' cent of
the vote cast at o'clock this after
noon, interest in the city election is at
fever heat, and not iE years has there
waged such a bitter contest over the
positions of chief of police and city
health officer. AS far as could be
learned this afternoon, electors are
free in their use of "stickers'' bearing
the name of Dr. j. Ellery Fales, pres
ent health officer, and this morning
when the polls were opened, voters
waiting their turn called for the stick
ers when none had been given them.
Although the pre- election part Of
the race fo, chief of police was of the
tame and docile variety, the fight
broke out on the picket line early this
morning, and since the opening Of the
polls, there has been no cessation of
hostilities. Friends of Emil Sanderson
are putting forth every effort. to elect
him to the office while the support
ers of Chief Davis are equally active
Some ground has been surrendered

To Consider Action

For the purpose of considering
plans for the proper patrol of the
watershed of Mill creek. from which
Is derived the citys supply of water,
membs's of the water committee OF
the city council may meet some time
this afternoon. During the past week
announcement was made that a big

Of city regulations.
Last season the city had a lease
upon the Kicker place, and success
fully prevented any pollution of the
wata' supply by campers, but even
though the municipality has been
granted powers over the watershed in
. the state of Oregon, plans for enforc-
ing regulations are to be considered
by members of the water committee.

New Combine Power Nav

DOES AWAY WITH
THIRTY HORSES
Hauls Machine at Even Pace
and Power Is Uniform
At All Times.

There will soon be an opening for
energetic chauffeurs of the Garden
City in the wheat fields of the Inland
Empire, and, while no speed limits
may be broken, the man who dotes on
sitting at the wheel may get his share
of that pastime, and also draw down
a fair-s:zed check for so doing. The
change has all been brought about by
the introduction into the valley of the
Holt company's gasoline caterpillar
engine, one of which is this week be-
ing used for demonstration purposes
on the Reser place on the hill near the
state penitentiary
Mr.. Reser's combine is attached to
the caterpillar" and the way the
chug-buggy pulls the heavy machine
around the field is something to be
wondered at. Although compar-
atively small and harmless looking
piece of machinery. the Caterpillar" is
capable Of hauling the combine at a
rate s~efa speed that would make 80
mules look weary. Two speeds may
be maintained, one at 2 miles an hour,
and another at four. However, in
many ~Walla Walla valley fields the
grain is so heavy that the higher gear
is impracticable for the reason that
the thresher cannot care for the large
amount Of grain in proper manner
AS far as known, the caterpillar
being used in the Reser field near this
city is the first to be brought to this
section of the state. 1t was manufac-
turde by the Holt Manufacturing
company, of Stockton, Cal, and is
shipped to the local house. AS the
engines were practically new to farm
ers of this locality, arrangements were
made to give demonstrations, and
many interested people were at the
field this morning.

With the introduction of the

wheat belt of the west harvest oper-
ations may be expected to take on the
form of pleasure. The man in charge
