should house at least his important
departments in buildings in which he
held title. He figured on the best So

is probably the second biggest building
project in the history of the United
States. The capitol cost $15.000,00 and
he has introduced bill in the senate

to afford shelter for the departments
of state, justice, and commerce and
labor These departments are paying
$685. year for the use of privately
owned buildings and yet their work is
carried on under the greatest difficult
ties. The department of justice oc-
cupies seven buildings and the law II

attorney generals office. Clerks are in
many eases obliged to toll at desks

ROOFS LETTER
NOT POPULAR

ALBANY, n. Y, Feb 2S.-
United States Senator Roots letter to
State Senator Davenport commencing
the proposed income tax amendment
to the constitution was read in both
houses of the Legislature tonight and
was received with approval by the
democrats, but by the republicans as
a body with absolute silence.
The non-committal attitude of the
majority is easily explained by the
fact that Senator Root takes issue on
this question with Governor Hughes.
The Root letter in both houses was
ordered printed and referred to the
judiciary committees. 1t is in part as
follows:

Nersation last month l have given

Now former Senator John l.. Will
son of Seattle, has formally announ-
ced his candidacy for United States
senator to succeed Samuel H. Piles
Everybody knew well enough that
Wilson was going to make the run
but this is his first authoritative an
nouncement. Wilson will have op-
position from his own county in the
candidacy of Judge Burke. r. B.
Mccormick, the lumberman of Ia
coma, recently made his formal an
nouncement, and Leigh Hunt Rich
mond, the Yakima agricultural edi-
tor, considers himself in the run
ming. Still others may come forth
and discover themselves to the vot-
ers as senatorial candidates. The
bunch grass candidate Is Miles Po-
indexter, the insurgent who cease
iessly insurges, and it is case OF
Poindexter against the field, con-
sidering that he is the only insur-
gent in the race. While Washington
state does not boast of any very big
crop of insurgents, it is to be con-
sidered that an insurgent is a dis
tinctive individual of clannish in
stincts and as the chief insurger of
this state and the only one in the
senatorial race, Poindexter is going
to pick up votes here and there
right from the home precincts and
parishes of the opposing candidates
without regard to districts or Sec
tions, age, color or previous condi'
ton of servitude. 1t is PoindexteI
against the field, with the field bad
ly split up, and it behooves the 9TH
er candidates and their supporters
not to underestimate Poindexter's
sources of strength. Many mickle
make a nickle, and sometimes a
plurality and a majority. 1t is not
we'll to take his candidacy as joke

Poor Cannon! Some time since
the Chicago Tribune announced that
a poll of republican editors west of
the Alleghanies was overwhelmingly
against Cannon's reelection as speak
er in the next congress. Then came
the crushing defeat administered to

now comes the result of the poll of
republican editors in the states east
of the Alleghanies on the Cannon
proposition. The vote against Can
non is go; for Cannon, ISL. The

ures must surely fill Cannon and his

add to the appearance of the store

AN IMPORTANT COMMITTEE.

From sentiments expressed at the
banquet Monday night, it is evident
that the business interests of Wen
atchee are alive to the Importance
of an open Columbia In appointing
a committee to gather facts AMI fig
ures, to confer with our representa-
tives in congress and to correspond
with commercial organizations both
up and down the river, DR.. King has
committed the Wenatchee CONNER
cial club to a systematic effort to in
duce congress to make an appropria-
ton sufficiently large to remove the
distractions at Rock Island and
Priest rapids.
This committee is composed of
substantial, business, professional
and technical men who doubtless will
take pride in collecting data and
tabulating information which will
have due weight when brought to
the attention of committees of con-
gress. 1t is not saying anything in
disparagement of any other commit
tee of the club to say that this COM
mittee is one of the most important
and one from which the club will
expect great things. The points
brought out by Mayor Gellatly at the
noon luncheon with respect to the
cheap haul by water grades makes
1t clear that an open Columbia will
solve the problem of transportation
for this region which will be an i'm
portant one in a few years.
