positions in the game warden's de-

Everybody left that democratic caucus
in high good humor
While we were holding that har-
monious caucus, am informed that
the newly elected members of the re-
publican congressional committee lux
uriated at banquet at one of the
principal hotels for the purpose of
electing officers and that they had a
regular monkey and parrot time Of
it, as usual in these latter days
SO that it may be safely stated that
within the last two weeks we have
increased our chances Of carrying the
next house.
so loud is the public protest against
the eaenormities of the Payne-Aldrich-
Smoot' tariff bill that today the re-
publicans put forth one of their crack
orators, Mr.. Boutelle, of Chicago to
deliver campaign speech in defense
of that odoriferous measure. 1t is
supposed that his is only the initial
performance in that line, but the se-
quel will probably show that all the
oratory republican spellbinders can
put out this side of the first Tues
day after the first Monday in Novem-
Der will not save their bacon. All the
perfumes of Araby and Blest will not
sweeten that monstrous measure en-
ough to render it agreeable to the nos
trils of the people.
But as Mr. Boutelle has begun the
business or arguing the Payne-Ald-
rich-Smoot bill after the fact instead
of arguing it before we may be in for
a long tariff debate. The more debate
the better for the democrats and the
county. So, on with the dance!"

REMARKABLE FIRE
RECORD IN v|N|TA
Two Coolest Months of Year Pass
Without a conflagratlon in
The City.

For the first time since the found
ing of the Vinita fire department, the
months of December and January
have passed without "a single fire
alarm having been sent in The last
time the department was called into
action was on November 26. From
that day until this, save for the prac-
tice runs the department has been
idle, but ever on the alert.
The fact that there have been no
fires during these two coldest months
of the year, when fires are burning in
all the homes, speaks well for the care
fulness of Vinita people While other
towns have suffered heavy property
loss, and in several instances loss of
life, Vinita has not even had small
confiagration. One way says there is
not enough gas in Vinita to cause an
explosion. The lack of fires is not
altogether pleasing to the fire boys,
who ever glory in the battle with the
flames or to the newspaper writer's,
who have lost some good stories, but
aside from these "heartless creatures"
the people of the city are congratulate
ing themselves upon this record.
The lack of fires has not caused the
fire boys to become negligent for they
know their enemy is ever present, and
may envelope the city in flames at
any moment.

More Unity in Democratic
Circles Declares Clark

Washington, D. c., Feb. Minority
Leader Champ Clark of Missouri, de-
clared in recent interview that there
were no grounds whatever for the
statements to the effect that the dem
ocrats of the house were not acting in
harmony.
Things political in Washington
tend constantly toward increased un-
ity among democrats and increased
factionalism among republican, said
Mr.. Clark For instance, on Friday
night, Jan. q, the democrats held by
long odds the most harmonious eau
Gus in the fifteen years that / have
been in congress. There were three or
four resolutions offered and elaborate
debate was had on them, the debate
lasting more than two and half
hours; but there was not harsh word
uttered or an unpleasant personal re-
mark made. Every man had his say
without let or hindrance and at last,
when the resolutions were voted on,
they were carried in some instances
and defeated in others by an almost
unanimous vote.
The climax of harmony came when
Mr.. Graham of Illinois was elected by
acclamation on motion of Hon. Henry
D. Clayton of Alabama, chairman of
the caucus to succeed Mr.. Lloyd of
Missouri, who declined to serve on the
committee to investigate the interior
department and the bureau of forestry
Lloyd is so busy with his congression-
al duties and with his duties as chair
man of the democratic congressional
campaign committee that he could not
assume the duties of an investigation
which may take months of time and
which may require journey to Wash
ington and Oregon or even to Alaska.

COMMITTEE GOES TO CONFER
WITH w. E. HALsELL.
WILL ENTERTAIN TEACHERS
Shelton Explains What viii Be Re-
quired TO Entertain Teachers
Association.

But two important subjects were
discussed at the regular weekly meet
ing of the Commercial Club last night
the matter of entertaining about
1000 teachers and school district Off
GERS here in April, and the Usage Wes-
teru railroad proposition that has been
the all absorbing theme among the
progressive citizens of Vinita for the
last two weeks.
County Superintendent Shelton ap-
peared before the club and explained
that he had been able to secure the
first meeting of the Northeastern Ok
lahoma Teachers Association for this
city on April 25 and 26, if the citizens
desired to entertain such body. He
said that if one out of six of the teach
ers and school district officers, in the
nineteen counties to be included in
this association, attended this meet
ing in April, that the attendance would
be at least one thousand. He told the
club that it would take some little ef-
fort to entertain these people, and
that the people of Vinita would have
to make this effort if the association
met here. After considerable discus
sion, theh club decided to adopt the
Harvard plan" of entertaining the
teachers, and unanimously voted to
instruct the county superintendent to
invite the association to meet here.
The matter of entertainment was left
in the hands of the committee on edu-
cation. The people will be asked to
entertain some of the teachers in the
homes of the city.
There was little that could be done
in regard to the railroad proposition
other than a general discussion. About
$4,000 has been subscribed to the
fund. and this in the most part has
been subscribed by the small prop
erty owners, business men and labor
ing men. When the larger property
owners make their subscriptions the
amount of the bonus is now practical
ly assured.
It is said that many of the larger
property owners are holding up their
subscriptions to see how much w. e.
Halsell will subscribe. Secretary
Wise and Judge Joseph A. Gill left last
night for Kansas City to confer with
Mr.. Halsell, relative to his subscrip-
ton. When they return it is ex-
pected tnat the bonus will have been
greatly swelled, and then the last OBJ
stacle in the way of others subscrib-
ing will have been removed !. A reso-
luton was adopted urging the men
with large property interests. here to
get behind the proposition at once, as
it is understood the Usage Western
is ready to begin construction.

HOT WEATHER AFFECTS THE
SKIN

Tender skins are bound to be af-
fected by the increased amount of
poison in the copious perspiration
thrown off during hot weather.
Rashes, hives, blotches, pimples,
prickly heat result. Often. too, seri-
Gus skin troubles begin this way.
To wash away the poison entirely,
to clean and cool the skin, make an
application of a simple solution of
wintergreen with thymol, known as
D. D. D. Prescription. Doctors pre-
scribe this D. D. D. Prescription for
eczema. 1t is sold for the purpose
in dollar bottles, but we can give you
for 25 cents enough D. D. D. to keep
your skin fresh and clean from sum-
mer blemishes.
If there is any itch this winter
green lotion will take it away in
stantly, the very second it is applied
to the skin. We assure you of this
for we have seen the result with D.

SBURG ROAD
Timber Cruiser Finds Prac-
ticable Route From Ell
lensburg to Chelan Go.

AT the request of w. T. Clark, the
president of the Wenatchee Canal
company, and a well known capital
lst of the state, Will Hayward,
Spokane timber cruiser, has just
completed the locating of a state
highway to connect Ellensburg with
Wenatchee, says the Ellensburg Rec
ord. Henry Bowlby, state highway
commissioner, and Moses NJ. Emer-
son, county engineer, went over part
of the road with Mr.. Hayward, and
declare the route to the city over the
hill is practicable.
The proposed roadway is planned
as part of State Highway No. Z,
which originates in Seattle, passes
over the Snoqualmie pass, and ends
in Spokane. Because of the high
way bridge across the Columbia at
Wenatchee, the only one in the state,
Wenatchee people have maintained
that the road should run through
their city, and ]. M. Snow had a
route by way of Peshastin surveyed.
Mr.. Bowlby on taking office con-
demned the Peshastin route on &C
count of It's high altitude, and in or
der to get the road the Wenatchee
men began the hunt for a more feas-
ible route.
Mr. Hayward has found a line
which, originating in Ellensburg,
runs past the Henry Schnelby ranch
to Coleman canyon and runs on top
of the divide between Colman creek
and the Nahum, passing the heads
of the streams on the Klttitas and
Wenatchee sides of the mountains
The highest point of the road is
1915 feet, and the worst grade en-
| countered is per cent, while the
average grade is 3 per cent. On the
Wenatchee side the road passes
along the top of the divide between
the Stemilt and Squillchuck and ter
inmates at Monitor.
Kittitas county legislative repre-
sentatives Will be asked to work for
| the road, as it makes Ellensburg a
junction point for a state road into
the lower valley and road east to
| Spokane All wagon and automo-
| bile traffic will have to pass through
this and other cities of the county,
according to the present estimates.
