Seattle, Feb Arbitration be-
tween the striking switchmen and
the northern lines, to be commenced
in Chicago today, is expected to ad-
just the difficulties between the rail-
way employees and the western roads,
| which have tied up freight move
ments for more than a month.
According to advices received here
by railroad men it has been def
nitely agreed that the switchmen and
railroads will agree to abide by the
arbitration boards decision. The
board will be chosen by the. usual
method of naming representatives
from each faction who will agree

Chicago yards are seriously con-
tested, a situation made possible by
the severe storms this winter in the
middle west and Atlantic coast re-
gions. While this has had no con-

it has been complicated by the fact
that the movement of westbound
freight has been slow because OF

them to abide blythe arbitration

lieved that the Chicago conference
will settle the difficulty.
A standing invitation from the rail-

Throughout his long public career
Weston has been the leading exponent
Of walking. He has taught it's advan-

from his seyenty-first to his seventy

and untiring activity as the result of
life of temperate and correct habits,
he starts forth for his walk across the

tional and healthy exercise which any

years spent behind prison bars, dur
ing which time he has grown from
youth to manhood, Joseph Walker
will be released from the peniten-
tiary tomorrow by virtue of the ac-
ton of Governor Hoch in commut-
ing his life sentence to one of 20
years. The aged father of the pri-
soner, who was chiefly instrumental
in having his sentence reduced, has
agreed to look after his son when he
is released.
Walker was sent to the peniten-
tiary from Ford county in 1894 for
murder in the first degree. He
pleaded guilty to that charge and
was originally sentenced to death.
His crime was that of numbering a
little baby. However, the killing OF
the baby was unintentional. He was
attempting to kill an adult. At the
time of the crime Walker was 16
years old. Near the Walker home
lived William Kindred, his family
and young woman named Alice Far
ris. Walker had paid some atten-
ton to Miss Farris and had had
words with Kindred over it. On the
night of the tragedy he took a shot
gun, went to the Kindred home and
shot through one of the windows. 1t
was supposed that he was attempt
ing to kill either Kindred or Miss
Farris. But neither of them was in
iured and the charge from the gun
killed the Kindred baby.

Goldendale to Maryhill. AS an in

bread they eat or go to the workhouse.
At the same time the unfortunates
who are really deserving of charity
will be rendered every assistance.

White Bluffs. Feb. AT no point
in the Pacific northwest is there such
irrigation development activity as be
tween White Bluffs and Priest rap
ids.
1t is the general belief that the
Columbia Reclamation company,
which has just filed articles of in
corporation at Olympia, asking a
right of way 1000 feet wide across
nine sections of state and shore
lands, is a Strahorn project. A steam
shovel, which sank in the Columbia
while being transported from Beverly
to Priest rapids, has been landed at
the site of it's intended operations
on the east bank of the river, and
is to be put at work within week.
The power canal which the company
will build will be the widest and
one of the largest in Washington.
It is at the head of a fan-shaped
area of country comprising approx
mately 100000 acres.
Hanford Shovel at Rapids.
The Hanford Power and 1rriga-
ton company has just landed its
steam shovel outfit at Priest rapids,
and orders have been issued to rush
the work of enlarging the diversion
canal which carries water through
its trough to the big power plant
and then gives It back to the river
again. The canal is to be increased
in capacity by building its walls
higher, and another unit is to be
added to the electric plant. AS soon
as this work is we'll under way the
company will commence the construc-
ton of it's nighttime ditch, which Will

Strahorn Finds Kinks in Power Site

had entered into contract for sale
with Campbell & Sanders and after
some money had been paid on the
land, he discovered that Strahorn
wanted the right of way for power
purposes instead of for a canal, and
Layigne sought to enjoin the Stra-
horn engineers from doing work on
the land.
BY stipulation the case was tried
i'm Yakima county, Strahorn setting
up a complaint OF Intervention as the
assignee of the contract for right OF
way which had been given to one OF
his engineers, Mr.. Marble. Judge
Preble held that the description In
the contract given to Engineer Mar
BILE was so indefinite that the con-
tract could not be enforced. Stra-
horn then filed an amended COM
plant, seeking to correct this, and
Lavigne came back with an answer
that COulu lAOt CAl0ASC thS
contract.
Strahorn Seeks Compromise.
Strahorn then sought compro-
mise by offering to give Campbell &
Sanders water for 1000 acres and
to give Lavigne $2,500. Lavigne in
sists that Campbell & Sanders stand
by their contract with him for the
payment of $4,000. claiming that
they have demanded from Strahorn
$4,000, besides the water right he
offered them.
All efforts toward compromise
have failed and the case now rests
with the court. Lavigne has been
represented in the case by Ira M.
