UTAH CANA.
 GOING GOING Only Seven Stockholders Voted Against Sale HOW II MUST BE DONE
Not Being An Incorporated Concern, the Transfer To The Government Must Be Made Individually By the Shareholders

Another all day session of the stockholders of the Utah Canal com pany yesterday resulted in T partial sale of that portion of the southside system to the government. IL must De understood at the outset that the Utah Irrigation Ditch company is not an in corporated organization and that it will he necessary for the stockholders to individually sell their rights in the system before 1t can be said to be owned by the government. The vote yesterday, had the canal been an in- corporated body would have constitut- ed a sale.- that is provided q two thirds of the majority of the stock would have constituted q majority. At the meeting yesterday there were ninety-seVen shares represented both by proxy and individual owners. Out of the ninety-seven votes present there were but seven east against the proposition of sale. Preceding the vote there was the usual round Of interrogations and more than one sur prise was sprung winch the time oI voting was reached. The officials Of the meeting and those who have been instrumental iE getting the stockhoid- CTS lined up for the sale were agree able surprised in no less than q half dozen instances in seeing some of thf more radical insurgents walk up and sign tine pledge" a localism that was applied to the proposition submitted hy the government which it was required that all stockholders voting in the affirmative should sign.
 In view of the fact that the Utah canal cannot be sold until practically every stockholder has signed the agreement a committee consisting Of the same membership as the commit tee already appointed for the purpose of securing proxies. r,s continued It Is believed that this. committee'win be the means offsecuring enough ad. ditionai votes from nonresident stockholders and others who were not present yesterday 10 make the ma. jority- enough so that the reclamation officials. will consider the proposition of taking the canal over even though the one hundred and twenty eight shares in the canal do not vote in favor Of the proposition. The point which is wished tn be conveyed in this instance is that the secretary win hardly demand that two or three Of even a half dozen shares voting against the proposition of selling the canat should postpone the transfer of thescanal indefinitely.
 The proposition on which the stock holders voted yesterday and subscrib. cd their names was as follows:
 Proposed Terms of Purchase of the
 Utah Irrigating Ditch scompany's
 Canal and l4aterals by the United
 states.
 l. That Inc Utah Irrigatine Ditch company and constituent members thereof will convey to the United States clear title to the Utah irri- Gatins ditch and laterals.

The man who handled Congressman
Humphreys primary campaign, and
who is credited by astute politicians
with having been responsible for his
nomination, is Howard G. Cosgrove,
son of the late Governor Cosgrove.
Mr.. Cosgrove is now practicing law in
Seattle. He came here to locate after
the governors death. 1t will be re-
called that Mr.. Cosgrove handled his
fathers campaign. That he is sue
cess as manager has been pretty we'll
demonstrated. The primary returns
showed that Congressman Humphrey
won his victory because the counties
outside of King supported him. 1t is
undoubtedly true that Mr.. Cosgrove,
who is extremely popular in the state,
brought many strong elements into
line for the congressman. Owing TO
pressure of business he will not manage
the congressman's fight for election,
but will probably be one of his political
advisors,

Shipment of Game

Shipment is the most important fea'
ture of the traffic in game. If per
mitted without limitation it is great
factor in game destruction. A realiza-
ton pi this fact has induced many Of
the states to prohibit export OF all OF
certain kinds of game, and in few
instances all transportation even within
the state.
Federal laws affecting the shipmen,
OF game comprise the statutes regulat-
ing interstate commerce in game and
the importation of birds from foreign
countries and those providing for the
protection of birds and game on terri
tory under immediate federal juris-
dictiOn.

NEWS OF PACIFIC NORTHWEST

The city of Wenatchee has been
earning the praises of the press all over
the state since the convention OF the
state press association in that city last
month. The Wenatchee commercial
club gave to the editors program OF
entertainment that could not fail to win
their hearts, and this, coupled with the
benefits OF the annual gathering, made
the occasion of the gathering in the
apple city one to be long remembered.
The entertainment program included a
grand ball, auto trips thru the Wenat-
chez valley, and numerous events to
keep the delegates busy, and to give
them as much information about We
natchee and its surroundings as they
could carry away. Wenatchee will reap
the reward OF her efforts in increased
publicity, not only in this state, but
all over the country.

Washington apple growers will have
an opportunity to take a big prize at
the apple show to be held in Portland
by the State Horticultural Society on
November 80, December l and Q.
Secretary Power announces that a
special prize will be offered for the
largest and best exhibit from any fruit
growing district in the Northwest, no
matter in what state it is located.
The competition is open 10 grange
organizations, fruit growers associa-
tons, commercial clubs or individuals.
The prize to be offered will be
either $3.50 or cup Of equal value,
so it is we'll worth while for the various
apple districts to get busy and arrange
to compete. The prize is equal to
that offered for carload exhibits at most
of the national apple shows and this
indicates a liberal policy on the part oil

original plan and allowing exhibits to
be entered from other states.

Seattle has been in the throes of a
graft scandal, which resulted in the
dismissal OF the chief OF police one day
by Acting Mayor Wardall, and his re-
appointment the day following by May

vacation to investigate the rumors that
Chief Wappenstein and other persons
connected with the administration have
been grating off the lawless elements.

The democratic state convention
which met in Tacoma Sept. 81, re-
solved itself into a protest against the
action of the republican Legislature oil
two years ago, which took the nomina-
ton of the supreme court judges out
of the hands of the people in the di-
rect primary, and placed these nomi-
nations in the hands of partisan con-
ventions. The democrats declared
that they convened under protest, be-
cause republican-made law forced
them to make nominations by con-
vention. They declared for non-par-
tisan judiciary, and made their decla-
rations good by nominating three dem
ocrats and two republicans.
The ticket was originally named by
the convention OF the non-partisan jul
dietary league, which met in Tacoma
the day before the democratic conven-
ton. The non-partisan league was
made up of republicans, mostly insur-
gents, who are resolved to get the SUI
preme court out Of politics at any cost.
With insurgent and democratic sup
port, the partisan ticket is expect
ed to be winner over the ticket
named by the republicans at their no.
torious convention in August. The in
dividual candidates are all strong men,
eminently fitted for the work OF the
highest court in the state. Under the
primary law, the non-partisan candi-
dates names will appear only on the
democratic ticket in November.
