OUR CONTEST.

AS our readers are aware The
Commonwealth has a big contest on
at the present time, and few words
from the editor and owner of the
paper may be in order.
We have been making arrange
ments for the contest for the past
several months, but never felt quite
ready until few weeks ago when
we closed a contract with the United
Contest Company, of Cleveland,
Ohio, to take up this work. They
now have a representative on the
ground who is looking after the con-
test, and at the rate subscriptions
are coming in, we feel confident that
it will be success.
The prizes as advertised. have all
been bought by US and will be here
within the next few days. The
piano is expected daily, and when it
arrives we invite any one interested
to inspect it, together with the other
prizes, which were purchased and
are on exhibition at the store Of E.
T. Whitehead Company.
The prizes we are giving away
compare favorably with prizes given
by other papers published in cities
Of 5000 to 10000 inhabitants and
are much more valuable than any
given in contests in towns and cities
the size of Scotland Neck. We do
lot expect to make any money in
he contest, but desire to increase
the circulation Of The Common
wealth. At present there are hun
dreds Of people amply able to take a
newspaper who do not take any
paper at all. Now that number of
contestants are actively engaged in
securing subscriptions, we feel sure
that a great many who have not
heretofore subscribed to any paper
will become readers and in the future
he better posted. We do not claim
to publish the only paper in the
country, or even the best paper, but
We do claim to publish aweekly that
compares favorably with any in the
State.
We want to get The Common
wealth into more homes, that the
public may become better acquaint-
ed with what is going on, and par
ticularly in this our home county.
The contest closes on February
eth. The prizes advertised in The
Commonwealth will be awarded on
that day. We will see that all par
les connected with the contest get
. fair and square deal. and we will
give the lucky ones prizes that they
will be proud Of.

BUT COULD GET NO ROOMS
FOR HIS PARTY OR HIMSELF.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 30.-Jach
Johnson, the negro pugilist, was re.
fused accommodation in Los Angeles
hotels yesterday. On arriving here
he travelled up Spring street in an
automobile and Immediately went to
one of the best hostelries. With 8
considerable number of attendants
he entered, but few moments later
the party departed and tried another
hotel. The same excuse was offered
for not receiving the black cham
pion. The hosiery was filled to its
capacity. AS Johnson refused to try
to secure lodgings at any of the
cheaper hotels, arrangements were
made for his entertainment last night
at the home of negro editor.

L|bERATE ACCUSED
H0RSETH|EF
HUGH RICHMOND FREED AT LEA
WENTWORTH YESTERDAY-HE
PREFERRED TO TRAVEL BY
NORTHERN PACIFIC.

Accused of horse stealing, Hugh
Richmond was liberated from Gus.
today in the justice court at Leaven-
worth yesterday. His operations
caused suspicion and an effort was
made by Sheriff Ferguson to hold
him, but the evidence was not sufi.
cient. A showing was made that
Richmond had paid $25 down on
the horse and that the balance was
not due.
1t seems that Richmond, according
to his own story, was commissioned
by R. S. Van Camper, formerly of
Wenatchee, to take a running horse
from Leavenworth to Everett. In.
stead of shipping the horse through,
he bought another one to ride, from
Joe Massie, and took both horses
through to Gle Elum, on the North
ern Pacific, from Leavenworth. There
he was apprehended by Gle Elum Of
ficers when attempting to ship the
horses to Everett. They communi-
Gated with Sheriff Ferguson and he
located Joe Massie at once.
1t was at first thought that Van
Campen's horse had been stolen by
Richmond also, but Van Camper
had no complaint.
That left the Massie horse to be
determined about, and as payment
had been made for that and the bal
ance of the payment is not yet due,
nothing could be done.
Richmond's excuse for taking the
horses so far around was that he
wanted to ride them through to Ever
EFT, but that the running horse went
footsore and he was afraid to keep
on. So he started to ship both horses
on the train by way of Seattle.
In the absence of any positive evil
dence the story had to stick, and
Richmond is at liberty.

He BOUGHT HIS
WAY To THE
SENATE
MEMBER OF ILLINOIS LEGISLA.
TURE MAKES SWORN STATE
MENT THAT HE RECEIVED ST.
600 FOR VOTING FOR LORIMER

Chicago, April 30.-According to
a copyrighted story printed this
morning in the Chicago Tribune that
newspaper has in it's possession a
sworn statement by Charles A.
White, a member of the lower house
of the Illinois legislature from the
Forty-ninth district, charging that
William Lorimer was elected to the
United States senate by bribery and
corruption. White, a democrat, in
his statement says he received $1,000
for voting for Lorimer. This money,
he says, was paid by Lee O'Neill
Brown, the democratic leader Of the
last legislature. White also says he
received 5000 more from the "jack-
pot" term applied to alleged gen.
eral corruption fund distributed at
the close of each session of the legis-
lature According to White, there
was general dissatisfaction among
the members of the legislature when
they met in st. Louis because they
did not get more from the jackpot,
but this was explained from the fact
that $4,000 was lost to the jackpot
because of the failure of certain
legislation to go through.

ing the will and securing the per-
sonal property. The estate is vslu-
able one, consisting of some $4,000

Plans were received yesterday by
J. H. Mcclellan and c. H. Graves for
the construction of an irrigation
plant for their lis acre ranch on
Stemilt hill about three miles south
of Malaga. According to the plans
water is to be secured by tunneling
into the hills for the purpose of de-
veloping springs from which the wa
ter will be carried in galvanized pipes
to a concrete reservoir. The new IT.
rigation plant will cost about $500

Farmers Telephone & Telephone

days explaining a plan to the ranch
ers along Mission Creek and Pine

inaugurating the service. The stock
of the company now earns eight per

100000 SHEEP N
RESERVE
CASCADE MOUNTAINS WILL BE
THE HABITAT FOR LARGE
NUMBER OF THE WOODY
TRIBE.

Two hundred thousand sheep will
range in the national forests again
this year, according to the statement
of Forest Supervisor Sylvester, OF
Leavenworth. The allotments have
all been made and the great move
ment of sheep is being made from
the Grant county winter quarters
into the mountains.
Leavenworth the Shipping Point.
It is probable that Leavenworth
will become the shipping point for
the sheep ranged in the mountains
more than it has ever been before,
on account of the fact that the sheep
can range in the mountains close up
to the town of Leavenworth until
the evening before shipping and then
reach Seattle without the shrinkage
of a pound, makes it an especially
attractive shipping point. The sheep
market for this section is principally
on the west side, only a few cars OF
sheep having been shipped east dur
ing the past year.
Mutton Has Gained i'm Flavor.
The mutton raised in the Cascade
mountains is the finest in the world
It does not have the taste such as
is found in the mutton grown in
other places. The mountain fed
sheep produce the mutton having q
gamy flavor.

STE|hER'S COURT IS
PROHIBITED
M'CONIHE WATER RIGHT NOT
SET ASIDE ON GROUND OF COL
LUSION AND FRAUD-MARTIN
& TURNER RIGHT VALID.

Withdrawing the charge of collu-
sion and fraud, Judge Steiner was
prohibited at 5 p. m. yesterday by a
writ from the supreme court from
setting aside the McConihe water
right decree granted March % in the
superior court of Grant county. Ac-
ton had been started in Judge Stei-
ner's court a little over a week ago
when J. O'Sullivan appeared in the
court sin aimcus curse" asking per-
mission to inform the court that col
fusion and fraud had been practiced
upon it when the decree was secured
granting L. F. McConihe sole right
to the first 400 cubic feet of water
per second from Moses lake, with the
exception of the prior right of Mar
tin & Turner to 200 miners inches a
second, in the case of Martin & Tur-
ner VS., McConihe.
In securing this decree 1t was al
legged that there had been collision
and fraud, but Judge Martin returned
this morning from Ephrata and he
brought the news that Judge Steiner
decided that there had been no col
fusion or fraud and that the decree
granting Martin & Turner 200 min
ers inches is all right.
However, it appears that the judge
was of the opinion that the decree
granting McConihe water rights was
not warranted by the Affirmative an
swer that was given. The attorneys
for Mr.. McConihe contended that
the judge had no right to set aside
or modify the decree. Upon intima-
ton from Judge Steiner that he
would rule adversely, Mr.. McConihe
was dispatched to Olympia on the
midnight train with prepared papers
to ask the supreme court for a pro-
hibition restraining Judge Steiner
from further proceedings in his at
tempt to set the decree aside, and
before the Judge had signed a decree
vacating the decree granted water
rights to McConihc the writ Of prohi-
bition from the supreme court was
brought in and the proceedings were
stopped.
