 War Experiment Failure.
 One of the most important events of the day was an attempt by Lieut.. Paul Beck, U. s. A., signal corps, to drop a bag of ammunition into a meas ured space from a Curtiss biplane 250 feet in the air. This experiment was made at the request of Capt. Samuel Bottoms of the coast artillery. The idea was to find out whether it would be possible for an airShip to drop bombs into gun pits. Curtiss took Beck up to make the test, but the effort was a partial failure because of engine trouble. Another attempt will be made. During the day Curtiss set a new record for the course of a mile and half. His time was PIP fiat.

PESHASTIN'S TELEPHONE
Large Grew at Work Repairing the Long
Distance Line

A dispatch to the Wenatchee World
has these lines:
One of the five crews Of the Pacific
States Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany that comprise the toll line extern
sion and repairing force between Spo-
kane and Seattle are in Peshastin pre-
pairing to rebuild many parts Of the line
in the entire Wenatchee valley.
The territory covered by two Of the
five crews consists OF all lines operated
by the company from Waterville to Gle
Elum, and three crews are on the other
side of the mountains rebuilding as far
west as Seattle.
In addition to rebuilding, which con-
sists OF placing new poles, putting in
new guys and changing the line from
abandoned roads to new roads aimee the
line was first established, the company
is stringing two new circuits from Seat
tie to Spokane, and also one circuit to
connect Leavenworth with Peshastin
junction.
The crew at Peshastin numbers four
teen men and two teams, with complete
camp outfits. The work of rebuilding
is in charge of Ben Holt.
The same crew was in the vicinity Of
Blewett about six weeks ago. 1t is
expected the work already planned by
the company will be completed by the
first of the year on the toll line; but
those in charge say, owing to the topo-
graphical nature Of the mountainous
country west, it is hardly possible the
work will be completed by that time.

No Deaths at State College

Last week marked the fifth anniver-
sary of the founding of the college hos
pital at Pullman. In commemoration
of the event Miss Mary Shea, the head
nurse in charge Of the hospital, made a
report of the work accomplished during
that period.
In the five years not single death

been treated. About 10 per cent oi
these were contagious diseases which
were treated in the college pesthouse,
which is run in connection with the
hospital. There has been an average
Of four patients in the hospital during
the period.
Miss Shea graduated from the college
at Rochester, MINI, and has spent 10
years in the work. She states the col
lege hospital and pesthouse is one oi
the best equipped and neatest of any
she has ever seen. There are foul
rooms for patients and ward with foui
cots in it.
The hospital is maintained solely fol
the students Of the college. who pay q
small fee at the beginning Of each Sc
mester. Thereafter they are treated and
nursed absolutely free of charge for any
length of time they may be sick.

Although two weeks have passed
since the hand-picked candidates for
the supreme court were asked whether
or not they were willing to resign be-
fore the election of 1912, no reply has
been received.
The only possible conclusion to be
drawn from the silence is that these
candidates have no intention Of submit
ting their nomination to the people in
1912. Yet they lack the courage to
state their position. Hence their fail
ure to reply.
The non-partisan candidates for the
supreme bench are all OF them pledged
to resign before the election OF 1912,
if the nomination of supreme court
Judges is restoy d to the direct primary
at the coming session OF the legislature.
By electing the non-partisan candidates
the people will have the opportunity OF
nominating the candidates two years
hence. If the convention" candi-
dates are elected, no matter if the
nominations are restored to the direct
primary, the people will have nothing
TO say as to the membership of the
supreme court for six years to come.

THE ECHO WASHINGTON LETTER
Election FOreoasts-Japanese Potato Grow
er-President's Home Coming.
fiealthful Alaska

Washington, D. c., Oct. 31.-But q
few days separate US from the election.
1t soon will be all over but the shout
ing. The campaign work is nearly all
finished. There is only a week Of ii
left, or at best less than ten days, and
what has not been done and said
already might almost as well be left un-
done and unsaid. The average voter
made up his mind long time ago how
he was going to vote, and while he
may not be saying a great deal about
it, he is standing by his guns, let the
campaign arguments assail his eyes and
ears as they will.
II is an easy matter to learn how the
election is going. If you are a repub-
lican merely cast your eyes on the
manifestoes issued from Chairman Nc
Kinley's sanctum at republican head
quarters. They will confirm any wav-
ering faith you may have. It's all
easy and sure" says Mr.. Mckinley.
Why shouldn't the republican party be
endorsed by the people?" he will ask
you. Look at what the party has
done. Here are just few Of the
achievements of the Taft administra-
tion,' etc.
On the other side, if you are dem
ocrat and wish to have the faith that is
in you bolstered up, all you need to
do is to seek the chairman of the dem
ocratic national congressional commit
tee and let Mr.. Lloyd tell you about it.
After all, the insurgents seem to be
the ones who have the best prospects.
They have practically nothing to lose
and everything to fight for.

THE NON PARTISAN JUDICIARY
Veraoity of Governor Hay Questioned
dimes to Answer Pointed In
terrogatory

Believers in the non-partisan judi
ciary cause are urged to vote for the
FIVE non-partisan candidates. Otherwise
the effect of the movement will be lost.
If the Tacoma convention crowd and
the attorneys for the corporations can
elect even one Of the hand-picked can
didates, they will have a majority Of
the bench. The supreme court will
then be as it has in the past, corpor-
alton court, made up or politicians and
not of judges.
There are nine members of the su-
preme bench and five candidates to be
elected November s. The election Of
four non-partisan candidates and one
hand picked candidate will leave the
court with five members who owe their
allegiance to the interests which control
conventions, and not to the people.
P. M. Troy, non-partisan judiciary
candidate, has been forced by menda-
cious opponents into the position of
denying that he had anything to do
with the bill which removed the nom
ination of the supreme court judges
from the direct primary law. This
charge emanated from the state law
library in Olympia, presided over by c.
Will Shaffer, the author Of the infamous
bill. The charge was made simply for
the purpose of putting Mr.. Troy on
the defensive; for, as a matter of prov
able fact, he had no more to do with
Shafer's bill than did the Gar of Rus
sia. Shaffer and the corporation attor-
neys who are fighting the non-partisan
movement consider it good politics"
to put man on the defensive, and to
this end they have no hesitancy in
making absurd accusations and have
less difficulty in finding newspapers to
print them.
Mr.. Troy is vice president Of the
Direct Legislation League for Thurston
county, which position he could not
hold for a minute had he anything to
do with Shaffer and his bill.
The whole business is just another
indication OF how badly the corporation
interests want the hand-picked candi-
dates reelected.
