BLANCHARD
ARRESTED

j. Merrel Blanchard, athletic in
structor and football coach at Whit
man for the past two years, and prom
inent throughout the northwest was
arrested late yesterday afternoon on
a warrant from Hillsboro, Grand
Forks county, North Dakota, charg-
ing him with rape, which is SINH
lar to statutory rape in Washington.
Maggie Offspring, a Is year old or
phan girl of Hillsboro, is the alleged
victim. She has been adopted by a
wealthy family of Hillsboro. The
young man left on an evening train
in company with Sheriff o. j. Os-
man who came to Walla Walla yes
terday for him. The crime is alleged
to have been committed while Blan-
chard was in Hillsboro last summer
coaching an Independent baseball
team.
Blanchard came to Walla Walla two
years ago from ST.. Louis where he
was physical director in the Wash
ington university. Since coming here
he has gained the reputation of being
one of the best football coaches in
the Northwest and his ability in this
line made him many staunch friends
here. Many refuse to believe he is
guilty and think it all a mistake.
Blanchard refused to talk
The Hillsboro official arrived in the
city with a warrant but no eXtradi-
ton papers yesterday morning. Sher-
if Haviland located Blanchard at his
boarding place shortly after noon and
there placed him under arrest. Blan-
chard was taken to Jail but later an
officer accompanied him to his room
where he was allowed to pack a suit
case.
It is understood the guardian of Miss
Offspring will not allow the case to
be settled and according to the laws
of North Dakota, the testimony of
the girl involved is sufficient evidence
to convict Blanchard left without
word of explanation to the Whitman
college faculty or his friends.

If the land in question affects the
power on the South Fork above Rob-
erts' ranch, it may possibly have some
bearing on the local traction situa-
ton. The holdings of the Washington
Oregon company are all in this Sec
ton of the country and there has been
much work done in preparation for
the development of their power.
The move is also connected with
the building of the North Coast by
some who are familiar with the rail-
road situation in the northwest 1t IS
well known that the North Coast m
tends to develop power along; it's lines
and especially for use through the
places where long tunnels are necessi-.
tated. In getting through the noun

river three tunnels are proposed ana
it is thought that the action of the
secretary Of the interior is in this par
ticular instance to prevent the COM
pany from getting hold of these power
sites. This is sustained by the fact
that there has been much land with
drawn from entry in Idaho and that
the North Coast follows the course Of
mountain streams in that state which
would develop unlimited power.
AS the land in question on the Wal
la Walla river is under the jurisdiction
of the La Grande land office nothing
definite could be learned today regard
ing it's exact location. There is, how.
ever, On. the river above Roberts
ranch, room for two power sites. One
of these has been filed upon by the
Washington-Oregon company and the.
other, up to this time, is said to be
open, although several companies have
had an eye on it for some time.

takes the ground that federal supervi-
sion over water power is evidently le-
gal in most cases. Where land adj
jacent to streams, even entirely with

government, it is declared that the
government had the right to impose

sites. The government has no right
to interfere with water powers where
the land and water is non navigable

or states, says the report, except inso-
far as is necessary to protect naviga-
ton in all streams. The question of
water power developed from navigable
streams which was brought up in the
famous James river dam veto message
of President Roosevelt, is gone into at
length and it is declared that there
is ample constitutional authority for
the sale of the water power developed
On navigable streams, the toll to go
into the river improvement funds.
There is authority, also, says the re-
port, to regulate the charges for power
furnished from these streams.

to the old system whereby newly born
