Two beardless boys, Oscar and Ernest Woodson, held up the Maricopa & Phoenix passenger train last week. The youths are only IS and 19 years old. Each with a pair of guns went through the passengers, reliev. ing them of about $500 in cash. Nothing but cash was taken. They compelled the brakeman to stop the train near the Gila river. Two deputy sheriffs on the train thought it was a joke and the robbers took their guns away from them. The young bandits have been captured and admitted the robbery. The boys came from Oklahoma recently and had been working on farm near Mesa.

their property and of the difficulty
encountered in traversing the road
from the Forks to Aberdeen. He says
that the slashings and logged off
lands are practically all ablaze and
there is almost one continual line Of
fire along the road. In many places
it proved extremely difficult to pass
along the road and upon one or two
occasions, Mr.. Mankowski seriously
contemplated leaving his team in or

wife and the man with them. They
finally reached Aberdeen in safety.

A WARNING SOUNDED
AGAINST THE ELECTION OF lN.
Representative LEGISLATORS.
The State Federation of Labor, State
Grange, Direct Legislation League
and Direct Primary League Advise
Defeat of Candidates Who Fail to
Sign pledge to People.

The Herald has on more than one
occasion recently directed attention
to the scheme advised by Candidate
John l.. Wilson and his supporters,
that is calculated to throw the elec-
ton of United States senator into the
legislature, and suggested that the
move was of infinitely more impor-
tance to the people of this state than
the success of any of the candidates
for this high position. That the sue
cess of this scheme means not only
a return to boodling methods of cleo
ting senators, but a notification Of
the whole primary law.
In doing so, the Herald has been
called an a1armist, but we find this
alarm is entertained by every organ
ization in the state that aims at Sc
curing clean politics and a square
deal for all. Below is printed cir
cular letter issued Saturday by the
Washington State Federation of La
Dor, Washington State Grange. Di-
rect Legislation League and Direct
Primary league that sounds warning
of the danger pointed out in this pap
er:
Citizens of Washington:
Defeat any candidate who was in
last legislature who repudiated repub-
lican platform and took away from
the direct primary law nomination
of Supreme Court judges and placed
same in conventions, then had conven-
tion packed by delegates mostly Sc
lected by a political oligarchy.
How humiliating it must be to any
honorable Judge of the Supreme Court
to owe his nomination to a political
combine. They have robbed you Of
your right to nominate Supreme Court
judges. Will you submit to such an
outrage?
Demand of all legislative candidates
that nomination of the Supreme Court
Judges be resorted to the people and
that they pledge themselves to vote
for submission to vote of the peO-
pie a constitutional amendment for
Direct Legislation, Initiative, Refer
endum and Recall. If legislative cam
didates will not sign the pledge, it is
because they will go to the legisla-
ture for special interests. We must
have direct legislation to keep direct
primary law and protect our political
rights.
The enemies of direct primaries or
rule by the people are organizing to
repeal the whole of the direct pri-
mary law and restore the booEe
campaign in legislature for United
States Senators.

BOND ISSUE PROPOSED
Believed to Be Only Solution of
Bridge Matter for North Alb.
erdeen Residents

Following the refusal of the city
council to remove the Heron street
bridge to North Aberdeen and the
probable inability of the city to COLI
struct steel bridge at that point on
account of the cost involved, it is
probable that the taxpayers of the
city will be asked to vote special
bond issue for the purpose of build
ing this bridge, and that special
election will be called for this pur-
pose This, according to the state
ment of city officials, seems to be the
only solution of the problem. The as
sessed valuation of the city would not
permit the expenditure of 100000,
which it is figured the bridge would
cost, and as a. wooden bridge is not
wanted by the people of North Aber-
deem and in fact, is not favored by
the mapority of the council, bond
issue must ensue if the bridge. is to
be built.
at is believed that the taxpayers
would favor an issue of this kind
1t would distribute the indebtedness
over a long period and, at low rate
of interest, would prove a burden
upon no one," said a North Aber-
deem resident yesterday. City At
torney John c. Hogan is authority
for the statement that the proposed
bond issue could be voted on at the
general election in November by rs.
ing a special ballot, but points out
that the construction of the bridge
would be fastened by the holding OF
special election at an earlier date.
VSa4llc some of the people interested
in North Aberdeen incline to ne be-
lief that the street car company
would extend it's tracks to their To-
cality, with a permanent bridge in
place, the statement made by Man
ager J. e. Thornton at the council
meeting Wednesday night would
seem to indicate that the company
has no immediate intention OF doing
