P A G f Q N E
PRESIDENT TAFT

10000 persons thronged the streets
about the station. After sporadic
cheering when he stepped from the
car the crowd was silent, and the
chief executive passed through sew
eral squares, the curbs lined with
silent people.
The president was escorted i'm
mediately to reviewing stand,
where he watched the Labor day
parade. Twenty thousadn men were
in line. The marchers passed the
reviewing stand silently.
TO many in the audience at the
opening OF the conservation con.
gress, Archbishop Ireland's invoca-
ton was fraught with Significance.
God bless the president. His
buroen is heavy, the way of the
times dark and the polar star from
which comes guidance sometimes
is lost.
MAY God send him wisdom to
do His will with rectitude of pur-
pose"
Governor Ebehart delivered the
opening address. Declaring that
poor and unintelligent farming Is
costing the nation ,000,000,0 900
annually and asserting that the
farmer boy who sees the farm go
to ruin and tricks to the city should
be absolved from all blame, he in
troduced the president.

BAKER STOCK
60. PLEASES

If the Baker stock company con-
tinues to make good as it did at
the first performances yesterday, it
will be success in Spokane. There
is fine chance for a big, perma-
nent stock company in Spokane,
and If the proper kind is presented
there win be plenty of patronage.
my Wife" is dainty, incense
quential sort of piece, light and airy
and very effective if well produced.
Franklin Underwood interpreted
the light comedy role in very good
style, and the audiences were we'll
pleased. The character of Trixie
is given by Frances Slosson, lead
ing woman, and she does it exceed
ingly well. The rest of the COM
pany furnished strong support. The
scenery was excellent. Merely
Mary Ann" is the play for next
week.

resignation and that all plans, even
to the choosing of Newell's success
or. had been laid when Roosevelt
arrived home.
Newell went to Roosevelt and ex-
planned the charges to the ex-presi-
dent, with the result that the col
onel interceded for the director, IL
is said. Previous to Roosevelts ar
rival home, the writer asserted,
Louis J. Hill, supervising engineer
of the Salt river project in Arizona
was called to Washington with the
view, it is said, of taking Newell's
position the moment his resignation
was handed in. Hill was not told
why his presence was desired at
the national capital.

blood flowing in a profuse stream
from his head.
Several women in the crowded
car averted their eyes from the
spectacle, and cries Of "Shame,
shame" were audible from the male
passengers. Stranahan leaned
against telegraph pole on the
corner and let the blood drip from
his head into the dust, 50 that his
clothes would not be spattered.
Burns meanwhile held him braveIy
by the arm.
Stranahan was patched up at the
emergency hospital and charge
of disorderly conduct was regis
tered against him at the police sta
ton.
The mOtorman had simply asked
that Stranahan be put off the car.
The man made no attempt to fight

only the largest tame specimen of
his species, but is also conceded by
authorities to be quite the largest

few years ago in the wild cane

OUR LEGISLATIVE LETTER
Capital Punishr7ent-E -Elroy Kent-Insur-
ance Laws and the Referendum Re-
ceive Their Share Of Attention.

The legislature of 1910 has had
most profitable week since its Thanks
giving recess and the members are all
back in Montpelier full of wishbones
and full of hope. Many people thought
the time of meeting was fixed at 1880
on Monday evening so the members
could draw pay for that day, but the
amount of business done the first eve
ming after the recess was proof that
the members are willing to work and
are willing to permit matters Of i'm
pOrtance to come along fast enough to
suit the most fastidious.
After cleaning up routine business
on Monday evening the report from
the judiciary committee recommending
the passage of Mr.. Amey's capital
punishment bill was taken. Mr.. Am
ey spoke interestingly and feelingly
for the bill and in a very logical argu
ment showed wherein the passage of
the bill would be step forward in the
| administration of justice. Bills of
this nature have been introduced at
nearly every session of the legislature.
but it has remained for Mr.. Amey of
Brighton to bring about its passages.

Growth of Asbestos Mining in This State
Lowell Company Develop
ing 1t.

In q pamphlet on the production of
asbestos in 1909, written for the inter-
ior department by j. S. Diller, refer
ence is made to this growing Vermont
industry. Mr.. Diller says:
The fact that the great belt of an
cient crystalline rocks, which contain
the extensive deposits of asbestos so
profitably mined in Canada, stretches
southwestward from the Province of
Quebec with many variations through
New England, the middle, and the
south Atlantic states into Alabama,
naturally leads to the expectation OF
finding similar deposits in the Unit
ed States. They have been sought
for all along the line, but as yet, with
the exception of one locality in Georg-
ia and another in Vermont, the success
ful mining of asbestos is confined to
Canada. Asbestos has been found and
prospected at many localities from
Massachusetts to Georgia, inclusive.
but in quality it is generally of the
