cipal Issue-Poindexter and Burke
Are Respective Champions-Former
Is Favorfte.

Olympia, Sept 12.-With insur-
gency VS.. standpatism. the issue, the
principal interest in tomorrow's state
wide primaries is centered on the
contest for the United States sena-
torial endorsement between Miles
Poindexter, insurgent of Spokane, and
Thomas Burke, regular, of Seattle.
There are two democratic candidates,
Geo. Cotterill and Patrick Byron. The
progressives declare Poindexter will
win, carrying sixty per cent of the
vote in eastern Washington and hold
ing his own in King county, Burke's
home, and in the northwestern coun-
ties. The Burke men likewise say
they are sure Of victory, pinning their
faith on regular King county and
the western part of the state. James
Ashton OF Tacoma, also a candidate,
will get a good vote in Pierce county.
Betting is favorable ito Poindexter.

HICKORY STICK IS
AGAIN UNSHEATHED
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OPENED THIS MORNING
Indications are That Opening Day
Registration Will Be Up to Normal
Increase in High School Attend
ance

Il love my mother, but Oh you
teacher"
This sentiment differently empha-
sized, was felt if not expressed by
hundreds of Pendleton boys and girls
this morning, for be it known that
this was the first day Of school,"
For the ensuing nine months the
troubles of the parents will be less
than they have been during the sum-
mer months while those of the teach
ers will be greatly increased. Book
store proprietors and clerks are also
being given the workout of their lives
today and the rush in this line will
probably continue for the remainder
of the week. There are no changes
in the text books this year but the
usual number of new books, not to
mention paper, pencils, pens and inks
are keeping the stationery clerks busy
and causing woe for the heads Of
families.
The opening day registration in all
the schools seems to be fully up to
the normal though the definite fig
ures will not be available before to-
morrow. From present indications
the high school attendance will be
much larger this year than last, the
freshmen class being exceptionally
large. An increase is also expected in
all the other schools of the city.

PIPES MADE POPULAR
BY FRENCH CIGAR TAX

Paris.-Pipes if we are to believe
the Figaro, are again in favor. The
high taxes on tobacco have been their
triumph. Our contemporary says that
the pipe has invaded the fashionable
world. There is no longer any doubt
about it, and the reason for this is
the increased price of cigars, cigar
cites and all high-grade tobacco. Pipe
smokers, it adds, are a silent lot, both
from necessity and taste, so that we
are still in the dark as to their ever
increasing numbers; but the admins
tration of indirect taxes admits a fall
ing off in the sale of cigars, on which
the tax has been increased.
on the other hand, the sale of the
ordinary smoking tobacco for pipes
sold in five-penny packages is daily
increasing. The dealers in pipes are
naturally delighted Their stock of
briar and other pipes is diminishing
with the brisk sale, and their profits
are rising accordingly. AS a vacation
outfit the pipe is more popular this
season than ever before. Three times
more pipes are being sold than in any
previous years.
The man who goes to the seaside
or the mountain resorts takes a pipe
with him. The pipe enters into the
preparations for the shooting season,
and even the college students are
good customers. But the Figaro al
so sees the reverse of the picture.
There may be many a family quarrel,
even divorce proceedings, owing to
the pipe. Marriages will be broken
off, and n. Cochery might succumb
to the maledictions of the ladies If
he were not saved by the blessings
of the smokers.

LIBERATED CONvICTS ARE
DYING IN PENAL COLONY

Washington.-Cond in the
French penal colony on the island Of
New Caledonia are reported by Uni
ted States Consul-General Henry D.
Baker, of Syndey, Australia. The
importation Of colored labor will soon
become necessary, he says, to take
the place of the liberated convicts who
are fast dying out.
The total number of convicts and
ex-convicts in New Caledonia as giv-
en- in the last official report was T.
s62 but Of these the whereabouts Of
500 were unknown; they had either
escaped to Australia or New Guinea
or died in the bush. or the liber-
Of age and only 459 were younger.
consequently in 10 years the quantity
OF convict labor now available will
have been diminished by half, and 20
years later will have almost disap-
peared.
The total white population in 1906
when a general census was taken, was
1850 of whom 13,S0s were males
and 5762 femalesor 395 females for
1000 males. The abnormal prepCnd-
erance was due to the fact that Of
1914 convicts then in the colony only
244 were women; still there was
wide margin even in the free popula-
ton, for of 1855 persons 61SS were
male and 551s were females, or S92
women to 1000 men. During the three
years, 19O6-1909, the marriages num-
bered Al per thousand, as compared
with rs in France. The number Of
births during the same period aver
aged 444, while the deaths averaged

New York, Sept. 12.-At least nine
laborers were killed outright yester-
day and ten others were injured In
the collapse of an overhanging shoul-
der of rock from above the western
mouth of the old Erie tunnel which
connects the Erie tunnel in Jersey
City with the westward division.
OF the known dead, four were Am
ericans, three were unidentified and
two were foreigners
For several years the Erie has been
working at the gigantic task of carv-
ing an open cut for its passenger
trains through the solid rock of Ber-
gen Hill, which, in some respects is
800 feet high.
The cut was opened for travel not
long ago, but there still remains the
task of hewing a common portal for
the old tunnel and the new cut out
of the ledge where they will meet
west of the boulevard. II was there
that the fall came.
A wall Of rock from four to ten
feet thick still separates the two sets
of tracks and eight sets of drills were
pounding away at it yesterday. Their
jar loosened a strip of rock 40 feet
wide and 20 feet high. 1t peeled off
like wall paper and toppled into the
spot where the men were tearing down
brick work at the mouth of the old
tunnel. They were buried under a
mass of debris.

CANARIES INOCULATED
AGAINST MARSH FEVER

Paris.-The latest exploit of the
Pasteur school is the inoculation of
canarles. 1t appears that the canary
suffers from a sort of marsh fever
communicated to It by an insect
known as the codex
At the Academy of Science yester-
day DR.. Doux stated that the bacillus
had been isolated, and a serum made
from the material used to inoculate
other canaries.
The inoculated birds, we are told,
were in this way rendered compare
lively immune against the attacks of
the fever-bringing codex; while those
that had not been inoculated suffered
severely when attacked.
This is important say the doctors,
particularly as the marsh fever from
which the canary suffers is said to
affect mankind. But is there really
and excuse for making such expert
ments on the unfortunate birds?"
