For Strahorn Road,
In Walla Walla.
MAY LOCATE SHOPS
OUT ELM STREET
Mysterious Road Gets Busy
In Field and Much Land
Is Being Bought.

That the North Coast railroad is to
get busy at once in the Walla Walla
field was evidenced today when w. B.
McChesty, right -of-Way agent for the
Strahorn road, arrived in town for the
active campaign to secure land for
tracks and, it is said. shops as well.
That the North Coast intends to
take the shops from Spokane as was
first Planned, is we'll known, unless
some arrangements are made where
by the differences between Spokane
and Strahorn are patched up. That
Walla Walla stands the best chance
at getting the shops, is also well
known, and it is said they will be To-
Gated on land located just across the
O. r. & n. tracks out Elm street. 1t
is said the station will be situated
there, at any rate.
The right -of-way agents have been
busy along the Snake river, purchasing
land a ong that stream, and it is un-
derstood the purchase is now almost
completed into the city.

Regular" President Also
Patted on Back Query,
Where Are They At?

INDIANAPOLIS, April 5.-The re-
publican state convention to decide
congressional campaign opened" here
today. The fight of the progressives
in congress against the regulars prac
ticaly began with the championship
of the progressive cause by Senator
Beveridge.
The resolution committee endorsed
the following measures:
Protective tariff, selection of a tar
iff commission with full advisory pow
ers, conservative laws, enlargement of
constitutional authority for taxation
in time of war. with immediate am
endment of the constitution to pro-
vide for the same, national legislation
to stop child clavery in mines, sweat
shops, ETC., pensions for old soldiers,
widows and orphans; unqualified en-
dorsement of the Taft administration;
endorsement of Senator Beveridge and
the principles advocated by him.
The Payne -Aldrich tariff bi l. the
bone of contention, will be endorsed
or rejected by the republicans before
the convention ends.
The resolutions committee submit
ted a report providing for the en-
dorsement of various causes upon
which it is believed the next repubh-
can presidential campaign will be
based. Foremost in the report was
the unqualified endorsement of the
policies of Roosevelt.
Senator Beveridge, addressing the
convention said:
"The republicans of Indiana are for
q protective tariff which covers the
difference in the cost of production
here and abroad. Less than that is un-
lust to American laborers; more than
that is unjust to American consumers.

CHICAGO HAS
A MUNICIPAL
VOTE TODAY
WITH WET AND DRY
CUT FROM BALLOT,
IT Is TAME.
Throughout the State the
Liquor Question is
Tantamount.

CHICAGO, April "a municipal
election is being held here today and
the fight is quiet. Elections are be-
ing held in 240 Illinois towns, the
principal issue being prohibition. One
hundred and one of the municipalities
are now wet, while the remainder are
dry.
However, with the wet and "dry"
issue, which had convulsed Chicago
during the early part of the cam
paign, dropped from the ballot, the
interest in today's aldermanic cleo
ton has greatly subsided. Now that
the fate of the saloons is not to be
decided today the voters have suf-
fered a revu sion of feeling, and the
political frenzy which had promised
to make today's vote a record breaker
has relapsed into the mildest sort of
interest. The anti-saloon forces say
that their failure to get the issue be-
fore the people today is not to be
taken as final. but that the campaign
will be kept up until the people have
chance to register their opinion on
the liquor question.
The registration lists show 4SS,3Ss
persons on the roofs who are entitled
to vote in today's election. 1t is GER
tain that the vote cast VIII Ia far
short of this stupendous figure. Wnlch
was due in large part to the interest

Good Road to
Penitentiary
Now Assured
GOVERNOR HAY SAYS
STATE BOARD WILL
ACT IN MATTER.
Machinery for the Dixie
Quarry is Ordered and
is Now on the Way.

That the state board Of control,
which is in session at the state peni-
tentiary this week, will undoubtedly
approve the plans for a macadamiZed
road from the prison to this city. was
the welcome statement made today by
Governor NJ. E. Hay. Mr.. Hay said the
attention of the board had been called
to the necessity for such highway by
Warden c. S. Reed. and intimated that
the favorable action would be taken
prior to the adjournment of the board
OF consroI.
In speaking of the rock quarry to be
located near Dixie, the governor said
he had not found it advisable to come
to Walla Walla until he could give
some definite information to the COM
mittee from the Commercial club rel
ative to the progress made. Conse-
quently he called upon the state high
way commissioner before he started
for this city, and was informed that
been ordered shipped, and was prob
ably now on the road. The commits
sioner said the people of this city would
likely have to raise the funds with
which to install the apparatus, but the
governor in his remarks indicated that
this would not be a burdensome ex-
pense and expressed the hope that the
crusher would be received here within
the next few days.
Governor Hay, accompanied by
members of the prison board. attended
the weekly luncheon of the CONNER
cial club in the Dacres hotel today
noon, and addressed the large number
Of business men who were present He
complimented the club members in
high terms upon the get together

comment on the retail business OF

ROOSEVELT AGAIN IN

IN ROME, ITALY.

Published Statement,
Starts Things.

ROME, April 5.-Angered by the
published statement of DR.. Temple
head .39 the Methodist college here
Roosevelt today called off the public
reception planned to take the place OF
formal call by Roosevelt on the
Methodists. The colonel declared the
statement OF Temple was an unwar
rGnted attempt to launch a secta-ian
controversy.
The principal purpose of the "eceL
ton was intended to have emnha.i'e1
the religious liberation for which
Roosevelt stands. The colonel il II
fer ded at the fierce attack of Or ip-
Tle upon the vatican, whicn was tie
very thing Roosevelt sought t. avoid.
The statement of Dr. Tpnla which
caused Roosevelt to cancel the recep-
ton, was a bitter arraignment of
Catholicism and praise of Roosevelt
for refusing TO visit the vatican.
While Roosevelt looks upon the vati-
can incident as closed, officially it is no
betrayal of confidence to say the affair
is worrying him more than any con-
troversy in which he has ever been in
volved He fears his friends in Ameri-
ca will not fully understand the situa-
tion
Roosevelt as guest of King Victor
Emmanuel today rode in the royal auto
with the monarch and visited many of
the show places of Rome.
The royal machine was attended by
a dozen policemen mounted on bicycles
by an automobile filled with police and
by a train of automobiles containing
the leading officials and correspond
ents. The royal car was simple of de-
sign and could not be compared with
many expensive cars seen daily in New
York. The king wore little insignia and
the simplicity of the drive was an es-
pecial concession to Roosevelt's democ-
racy. The drive lasted until noon.

ART OF CHINESE IN STONE
Oriental Work Shown by Moaolitb
Figures Of Men and Animals on
Tomb Approaches.

The spirit of purely Chinese arr
in stone is shown in work such az
the great monOlith figures OF an.
inals and warriors which fiji nR
the approach to the tombs of the
Ming dynasty and in the perfectly
plain structures designed for the
tombs of the present dynasty.
These are composed of enOr
nous blocks ofstone brought with
infinite labor from distant quar-
ries over roads and bridges which
are hardly capable of sustaining
ordinary cart traffic and nave al
ways to be specially prepared tc
prevent the great weights causing
their collapse.
The same admiration for the
employment Of huge blocks Of
stone is seen in the case Of the
bridges over the rivers along the
coast Of South Fukien, where the
stone slabs used in the construc.
ton occasionally measure 60 feet
in length and are estimated to
weigh nearly 120 tons, and the
bridges themselves have a length
of 200 to 1000 yards.
In almost all cases where the
buildings are not of solid construc.
ton the weight of the blocks en-.
plOyed has placed a strain upon
the supports which the architects
skill was not competent to pro
vide against, and with the lapse Of
time the melancholy spectacle is
seen of slabs fallen from their
places and of noble and costly
structures approaching ruin. In
some cases the interdependence OF
the arches leads to the same re.
suit. One notable instance of this
occurred during Col. Gordon's
campaign against the Taipings.
when to allow of the passage OF
his small steamers it was neces
sary to make a gap in bridge Of
over 20 arches, and arch after arch
collapsed Immediately after the
passage of his small fiOtilla.
