Confused and archaic" was the way
in which President Taft referred to
the estimates annually presented to
congress by the various government
departments. He was speaking to Of
fcers from the different departments,
who compose the committees which
are conducting an investigation start
ed by the president recently, having for
its purpose economy and efficiency in
the governments administration. He
suggested that this year the proposed
expenditures be re-classihed and thus
reduced To a scientific basis, so that
there may be some common under
standing as To what is meant when APP
preparations are asked for" He ex-
pressed the opinion that the govern
ment methods which are criticized
were not due TO hack of zeal or will
ingness on the part of the civil ser

The recent interview between Pres

suit in putting a complete stop 10 idle
and mischievous gossip concerning the
annexation of Panama TO the United
States. but il should have an influence

latest rumors of the intention of this
government 20 take over Panama
grew out Of the approaching visit Of
President TAFT To the Canal Zone.
When the Panaman minister left the
White House on Thursday. however,
he was armed with Mr.. Tafts author
ity TO make a sweeping denial 10 his

might inquire. Of the statement that

for taking any action calculated 10 de-

According TO Minister Arosemena,
President Taft gave him assurance
that there has never been and is not
now or prospectively anything between
the two governments that would lead
20 any uneasiness on the part of the
people OF Panama as TO any American
interference with their independence.

OF Interest to Dairy Farmers

SEATTLE, July G, 1910-The
dairy cows test to be held at the sec
ond annual Western Washington fair
in Seattle next September will be of
unusual interest to the dairy farmers
of the Northwest as it will give an
opportunity to settle a number of
disputes among dairymen as to which
is the best milk-producing breed The
tests will take place during the
fair under conditions that promise
fair and impartial treatment to all
competitors. The handsome cups and
other prizes offered by the association
ar well worth fighting for. Particu-

]. 0. SYLVEY KILLED
BY LESTER BLAIN
PROMINENT CITIZEN OF PA
LOUISE SHOT AND KILLED IN
THAT CITY LAST SUNDAY.

}. O. Slyvey, a well known citi-
zen OF Palousc, and prominent in
lodge circles in that city, was shot
by Lester Blain, of Viola, Idaho, at
! Palouse last Sunday, and later died
from his injuries.
Blain has been arrested and charg-
ed with murder in the first degree.
Prosecuting Attorney Chamberlain
and Coroner Bruning went to Pa
| louise Tuesday TO investigate the af-
fair and decided that an inquest was
not necessary.
The shooting occurred about 1870
Sunday morning on the platform of
the Northern Pacific depot. Sylvey
had demonstrated with Blain for Civ
ing Sylvey's minor son, Guy Sylvey,
whiskey in sufficient quantity that
the boy was intoxicated, Young Syl-
vey was employed at the depot and
his father had charge of several
pumping stations near PalOuse. When
accosted by Sylvey, Blain admitted
having given the boy Whiskey and
the bottle was taken by the elder Syl-
vey and broken. AS he turned to walk
away, Blain drew a SO calibre revol-
yer and shot him, the bullet entering
the groin. Blain was taken to ColfaX,
while Sylyey was taken to a Palouse
hospital, where he died.
Blain says he and another man
took a drink from a bottle and the
boy got hold Of the bottle and drank
the whiskey. He also says that the ell
der Sylvey threatened TO hit him with
the bottle and that he shot in self
defense Blain says that he went to
! Palouse City Saturday and was de-
tanned until late in the evening and
when he went to the depot to get the
train he was too late. This made it
necessary for him to remain in Pa
louise over night. He says that he had
purchased two bottles to take home
with him, and had the liquor in his
pocket when he went to the depot on
Sunday at noon to take the train.
At the depot Blain says he met
Michael McAmos, and the two were
talking for time. Finally they
drank from the bottle of liquor The
Sylyey boy, he says, was loafing near
the depot and got hold of the bottle
of liquor and drank enough to make
him intoxicated.
About this time the elder Sylyey
appeared He saw his son was intoX-
icated and demanded to know where
the liquor was procured Blaine says
he told his father.
Sylyey became very angry, accord
ing to Blaine's statement. He says the
father seized the liquor bottle and at
tempted to strike him. 1t was then
that Blaine drew a revolver and fir
ed
Sylyey was about 80 years old and
had lived in PalOuse for a number OF
years. He was a high officer in the w.
o. w. lodge and leaves a wife and
several children. His funeral was held
Wednesday afternoon at Palouse and
was largely attended, being under
the auspices of the Woodmen lodge.
He leaves an insurance to the fam
lily amounting to $4,000.
