Miss Cynthia stiffened, rose, and
called a hasty good.by to Miss Selma

up the street after her.
II do wonder why she had to go

she turned again toward the kitchen.

Miss Selma Lue as she plucked him

M|LLIKEN ENDS
IT'S LITIGATION

Milliken, Colo, Dec 11.-Failure
of the plaintiff to file bond In
the case of H. A. Weddle of Milliken
against the board of trustees OF this
town contesting the special election
of Aug. 1, has caused the case to
be thrown out of the county court.
At the election, $4,000 in bonds
were voted for the construction OF
a water works system and town
hall. Weddle asked that this cleo
tion be declared void, charging that
two of the judges of election, who
were appointed by the taxpayers to
till vacancies on the election board,
were not qualified electors. He
also claimed that no legal town tax
had been paid for the year next
the election and that none
OF the voters were therefore quail
fled electors.
A Denver firm has been given the
contract for the waterworks plant
and the new town hall, on which
work will commence next spring.

Washington, June 27.-Demanding
that President Taft Immediately pro-
duce all records of the alleged at
tempt by the -Guggenheim
forces to monopolize the Alaskan coal
output by grabbing the water front
of Controller Bay, Senator PoindeX-
ter of Washington, today introduced
a sensational resolution in the SEN
ate. He desires all records bearing
on the filing on the bay by James
Ryan and others who are connected
with the Controller Bay Railroad and
Navigation company.
He says he is convinced that if the
grab goes through, the Guggenheims
will control the only feasible outlet
for the coal thus dominating the AL
askan railroad and clinching their
hold as though the Cunningham
claims hadn't been denied.
He said: 1T seems evident that
the interests who are seeking to mo-
nopolize the natural resources OF
Alaska, are not dependent on one
method The control of transporta-
ton to the coal fields is equivalent
to the control of the coal itself. Con-
troller Bay is only available deep wa
ter which is easy of access for the

Oriental Dealer, Alarmed Over Fail

Cheaper Bread-stuff.

. Spokane, Wash, June 27.-"China
will have to look to other markets,
probably India, for its flour supplies
in the future, if the price of Ameri-
can flour remains above $40 a bar
rel after the next harvest" declared
kwan Kai of Hong Kong, called the
flour king of China" who has been
in Spokane, accompanied by Moy
Back Hui, millionaire Chinese consul
at Portland, and ]. D. Armstrong of
Tacoma.
Mr. Kai said he is on a prospecting
tour over the Pacific slope country,
adding that because of the failure in
many parts of the Chinese empire of
the rice crop and prospects for
cheaper wheat in the Northwest and
Pacific states he believes the eX-
ports of grain to China the next IL
months will be larger than ever.
After visiting various parts of
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana, Mr.. Kai announced, he will
make a tour of the United States at
the instance of the Viceroy of Can
ton to inquire into the American IL
brary system. The visitor was a
resident of san Francisco from 1870
to 1891, when he returned to his ma
tive land.

HOTEL MAN SERVES
TROUT; IS ARRESTED

p. \. McPhee, well known man
ager of Wenaha springs, is in the
tolls of the law and in consequence
visitors to that popular summer re-
sort will have to sit at troutless
table hereafter unless they supply
the >speckled beauties themselves. He
was arrested yesterday by Deputy
Game Warden +. b. Thompson of
Portland. who alleges that the hotel
manager has been serving trout at
his table and accepting pay for them,
thus violating the law prohibiting the
sale of this species of the fish family.
Mr.. McPhee came in this morning
and his trial was set for this after
noon in the justice court but it was
postponed until Sept. II as the de-
fendant was not ready to appear.
/ Mr.. Thompson declares he has pos
tive proof of Manager McPhee's Of
fense as he says trout was served to
him for breakfast on both Saturday
and Sunday morning. Friends of
Mr.. McPhee, however, are positive
that there is some mistake for they
assert that he has always been eX-
tremely careful in such matters and
only served trout to the persons who
| had caught them.
A. H. Bundy and Charles Hays, two
| Athena fishermen were yesterday
fined $25 each in the justice court
for having trout in their possession
under six inches in length. The ar
rests were made by Deputy Thomp-
son.

ley, state game warden and president
of the oregon branch of the Nation

cred kingdom of the Malheur and
klamath county lake district, NIr.

gion of the state, one in 1905, and one
in 1905 and on both occasions he
spent weeks studying closely the hab-
its of bird life and taking pictures
of the native fowl.
- Ton Shit he will tell of these trips
and exhibit slides made from his
Photographs. He will also tell of the
successful fight which he and others
made against the ruthless slaughter

fish and game association.
