OUT OF THE RACE.

In another column John +. Samson
announces that he is not candidate
for the legislature. He was induced
some time ago to make declaration of
candidacy, but decided that on account
of business arrangements he could not
afford to enter the race. He forward
ed formal declaration of withdrawal
60 the county auditor, but as the tick
cts were printed in Spokane instead of
the county, notification of withdrawal
could not reach the printer in time to
eliminate the name. If the auditor
does not erase it Mr.. Samson's name
will appear on the printed ballots, but
he desires it distinctly understood that
he is NOT candidate before the prim-
aries. 1t is hoped the papers of the
county will give prominence to this
announcement, so the voters may
know that Mr.. Samson is not candi.

A BUNCH OF MONEY,

The mayor and clerk signed up and
shipped to Olympia Monday night mu-
nicipal water bonds to the amount of
$4,000, the water bonds voted at a
special election some weeks ago. The
bonds will be taken by the state and
school moneys advanced upon them.
Now it is up to the council to apply
the money in such a way that the en-
tire town will be supplied with water,
1t is so easy to unintentionally waste
public funds that the greatest care
should be exercised in the expenditure
Of the cash for the purposes intended.
Money can be dissipated without inten-
ton of wrong doing if care and iudg-
ment are not exercised. This paper
has the greatest confidence in the bus
mess sagacity of the council. and be-
lievess that the large sum will he han.
died in such way as to insure the
best possible results. ' 'i''

DIRTY WORK.

During the summer vacation one or
more young hoodlums have been raid
ING the school house, destroying prop
erty and defacing the walls with vile
writing. Only children of low and
vicious minds and habits would be
guilty of such an outrage. The board
of directors are aroused over the des-
ecration, and propose to mete out Sc
we're punishment to the guilty parties
If they can be apprehended. Parents
should warm their children against
such degrading performances, and II
they will not do so they should be
made to suffer the penalty, School
property must be protected, and com
mon decency upheld

FAIR CROPS.

S. ]. Sincock, the sturdy old bache-
lor of Horse Spring coulee, was town
Saturday laying in supplies. Mr.. Sim
cock reports that the crops OF his dis
trict are far from failure. True they
are not as heavy as they haye been in
other seasons, yet there will be much
grain to thresh. 1t gets about as dry
in the coulee during drouth as
powder house, and it speaks highly OF
the possibilities of soil that would
produce even weeds such a season as
the present one has been.

Riley Hurlbert, of Horse Spring
coulee, was in town Monday. He is
far from being the ruddy and robust
man he was few months ago. He is
just up and around after a protracted
seige of typhoid fever, during which
he narrowly escaped sliding over the
divide, and shows the effects of the
struggle with the fell disease. His
entire family were down with typhoid
this summer, but very fortunately they
all recovered.

a GOOD SHOW.

The Herold Nelson dramatic COM

this place Saturday and Sunday even

has gained on the circuit as being one
OF the best companies on the road.
The performers are artists of high
order, and presented the plays in a
manner that gave the greatest salts
faction to the audiences. The town is
yet too small to extend paying support
to company of that size.

SIX NEW STEAMERS ARE
ORDERED BY JAPANESE
Nippon YuSen KaiSha Line Is
Wedding Out Old Ships

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 1S.-Six new
steamers, two of which have been Or
dered in Japan, are to be built to re-
place the steamers now used by the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha in the trans
Pacific service to Seattle. Orders were
placed with the Kawasaki dock yard
company. of Kobe and the Mitsubishi
company of Nagasaki for two steam
ers of 5000 tons registered tonnage to
maintain an average speed of twelve
knots and the vessels will be followed
by four others.
The construction of new liners for
the transpacific line is being fastened
owing to revision of the deep sea
navigation protection law. In conse-
quence of revision Japanese firms are
wedding out old steamers of between
1000 and 5000 tons.
The Togo Kisen Kaisha is to aban-
don its service between Hongkong, ia
pan, and Mexico. The Japanese sub
sidiary law forbids the receipt of sub
sides from other countries and the
Japanese company considers that line
improbable without the subsidy Of
$4,000 per trip paid by Mexico.

.PROGRESSNES TO DRAFT
ARIZONA CONSTITUTION
Corporation Attorneys Left off
Important Committees
of Convention

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 1S-The ap-
pointment of the standing committee
in the constitutional convention today
demonstrated predictions that Presi-
dent Hunt would divide the principal
Craftsmanship assignments among the
progressives only. While there are
several attorneys among the delegates
who are known to have corporation
Affiliations, none received an impor-
tant committee assignment.
The chairman of the labor commit
tee is a miner. Another is a switch
man and a third machinist. Chair
man Jones of the committee on cleo
tions is a sheepman, while the head
of the committee which will handle the
prohibition question is a cattleman.
Prohibitionists made the claim today
that two members of the latter COM
mittee are pledged to their cause, and
it is certain there will be minority
report If the committee rejects the
proposal to submit to the people a
state wide liquor prohibition amend
ment.
The woman suffragists also appeared
today in force, and began an individual
campaign among the delegates.
The committee on rules announced
that it would be ready to report to-
morrow. The convention will then
start the actual task of constitution

PERIL NO GREATER THAN AUTO
fAssoelated Press1

NEW YORK. oct. 1S.--John B
Moissant, the American aviator, who
drew the attention Of the world by
his flight from Paris to London, de-
clares that learning to guide an aero
plane is about as easy as learning to
write or walk on stilts.
Mr.. Moissant is preparing his quar-
ters at the Belmont aviation field In
anticipation of making some trial
flights before the opening of the in
ternatlonal tournament.
There is no great mystery or great
difficulty about operating an aero
International meet officials, when
they received him at Belmont park
Everybody will realize this very soon
and the next generation will use
aeroplanes as we are now using auto
mobiles The perfection of the flying
machine from now on will be very
rapid aud its perils will be found to
be no greater than the perils of burst
ing tires and skidding wheels and
faulty automobile machinists.
Every person who makes flight
in an aeroplane comes back to earth
with the same impression. He tells
you that It was a delightful expert
ence, that it was something new, that
he was not a bit scared and is crazy
to do II again. That tells the whole
story. When 1 made my flight from
Paris to London had been in an aero
plane but twice before.
when l announced that intended
to make the flight, Latham, LIE Blanc
and Bleriot said I was crazy and
laughed at me; when 1 said that
was going to take q passenger they
thought 1 had gone stark mad. The
passenger-one of my mechanlcs-had
never been In a machine before.
"I had never been north of Paris
and knew nothing at all of the route
but 1 had a map and a compass in
front of Tpe and had no difficulty In
getting toy Calais.
II went up very high when I start
ed to cross the channel, took a gem
eral course toward England and shot
away on the flight. 1t was no trick
to cross the channel, as it was only
"a or 25 miles wide, which could be
covered in few minutes"

JAPANESE CONQUERING
FORMOSA HEAD HUNTERS
String Wire EntangIements in the
Jungle and Force the
Natives Back

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 13.-Lieut.
Gen. Koizumi, who commanded the
Japanese forces in the Formosan cam
paign against the natives, has just re-
turned to Japan. He says that the
Japanese soldiers are now engaged In
making wire entanglements with
strings of block houses, pushing for
ward their line, and no fighting Is 60
ing on at present. Presents of millet
and fruit were sent to the Japanese
troops by the enemy shortly before he
left, and he had returned presents OF
bread and timed, provisions.
Meanwhile the plans to pacify or ex-
terminate the Formosans are going
forward. The Gaogan tribe Is giving
the most resistance, the japanese
losses against them being 200 killed.
The Formosans, when they kill an
enemy, devote much energy to decapi-
tating him and carrying away the
head, and many strenuous fights have
taken place to rescue bodies from mu-
tilation. The Formosans against whom
the campaign is progressing-nine
tribes--number about 10000, and they
have about $4,000 rifles.

Effort Started to Get Hospital
Beds for All the White
Plague Sufferers
LARGE FUND is NEEDED
Million Dollars to Be Raised for
Needy by Sale of Red
Cross Seals
Especial to The Herald

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-What "a Mil
lion for tuberculosis from Red Cross
Seals" will do in the checking of con-
sumption is explained in a bulletin is
sued today by the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis.
Counting every available bed for
consumptives in the United States,
even those in almshouses, penal insti-
tutions and hospitals for the insane,
there are at the present time accom-
modations for hardly 10000 tuberculo-
sis patients. This is just about one
bed for every ten INDECENT consump-
tives and if all tuberculosis persons in
the country are counted, both rich and
poor, hardly one for every twenty-five
or thirty. If sufficient hospital accom-
modations are provided for only those
who are too poor to pay the full price
for their treatment, fully 275,O00 more
beds in special institutions for tuber-
culosis would be needed at once. The
immense outlay necessary to provide
and maintain so many beds in hos
pitfalls makes 1t imperative, the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis declares,
that such institutions be erected from
public money, either municipal, county
or state In order to get appropria-
tions for public hospitals for tubercu-
losis, agitation is necessary and in or
der to create a campaign of agtta-
ton, organization is demanded. But
in order that an organization may carry
on an effective campaign funds are
needed.
WILL SELL SEALS
These funds 1t is proposed to secure
in as many communities as possible
from the sale of Red Cross seals.
The national association cites one il
Iustration of the way in which small
sum spent in education has secured
large appropriations. The New York
State Charities Aid association in the
three years, 1908, 1909 and 1910, has
spent in the upstate portion Of New
York about $55, 900 in arousing the peo-
pie to the dangers of tuberculosis. AS
a direct result of the public senti-
ment produced by this outlay the
state, county and municipal authori-
ties have already appropriated for tu-
berculosis work $1,500,000 and appro-
priations for hundreds of thousands OF
dollars are pending. Hundreds of hos
pital beds have been provided and the
association already aims for mo I'm
cared for tuberculosis in 1915"
Thus, the national association says
If $1,000, 900 is realized from the sale
of Red Cross seals, millions more will
be added to it from the public treas
uries Last year 25.OO0,000 stamps were
sold 1t is aimed this year to sell foul
times as many.

ESCAPED PRISONER FEARS
DETECTION; SURRENDERS
Kansas Convict Returns to Serve
Out His Term

LEAVENWORTH, Kas., Oct 1S.-
Preferring to return to prison rather
than to be continually bounded by the
belief that he was being pursued by
detectives, Jonn Sportsman, an escaped
convict, surrendered himself at the
Kansas state prison in Lansing yes
terday.
Sportsman and John Wilgus, both of
whom were TRUSTEES, escaped from the
prison several months ago. Sportsman
went to Missouri and obtained a posi-
ton on a farm. But the fear that he
was being spied upon by detectives
worried him greatly, and yesterday he
walked back to prison to give himself
up. Going into a prison stable, he
called a deputy warden over tele-
phone and said:
'Tm here, ready to give myself up.
I'm thoroughly tired of running away
from detectives"
When Sportsman ran away he had but
eight months of a five-year term to
serve. Now, because of his escape, he
will not be released until April, 1912.
Wilgus has never been located.

JAPANESE AND CHINESE
CLASH IN MANCHURIA
Racial Troubles Threaten to
Cause Complications

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 13.-News OF
trouble between japanese and Chinese
in Manchuria was brought by the
steamer Ava Maru today.
Following the issuance OF orders re-
Gently by the viceroy of Manchuria
that all foreigners must reside only in
open cities, thirteen Japanese living in
Hailungcben were thrown into prison
by the local magistrate for refusing to
obey the orders.
A strong protest has been made by
the. Japanese consul general at Muk-
den. At Chang Chun another dispute
took place as a result of the stoppage
OF Col Morita's carriage by Chinese
police, who inquired If the carriage had
been registered. The Japanese colonel
who was in full uniform, tried TO force
the driver to go on, but the Chinese
interfered and took the colonel and the
carriage to the police station.
Col. Morita addressed kilograms to
Toxic, saying that the behavior of the
Chinese officials In Manchuria toward
Japanese was becoming intolerable.
