A letter from Carl G. Grill, who
left here some weeks ago to enter

In writing of the territory through
which his new duties take him, Mr.
Grill says
La Grande is in the Grande
Ronde valley. taking its name from
the Grande Ronde river, which flows
thru it, 1t is some 2,7OO odd feet in
elevation and is a rich farming sec

out the valley narrows until it finally
becomes the Grande Ronde canyon.
The mountains rise in majestic gran

bridge spans the river. The road

Wallowa city, the canyon widens out
and becomes the Wallowa valley.
This is a rich wheat section. | am

herds of sheep and cattle are shipped
from this valley. The country is

After leaving Walowa you come

JUDGE HANFORD RESIGNS.

SEATTLE, July 22.-Forced "a
action by revelations that he, while
Judging railroad cases, had lessened
railroad taxes, apparently In return
Tor friendly relations and, It is re-
ported, spurred on by request OF
President Taft, United States District
Judge Cornelius II. Hanford. under
impeachment Investigation by a com
mittee OF congress, today resigned
Whether or not the impeachment
investigation shall be continued the
congressional subcommittee which
has been probing Hanford's judicial
acts and his private life could not
say. They have wired to congress for
direction. They are expected this af-
ternoon when the sittings of the com
mittee will reopen at o'clock.
Hanford assigned as his reason for
reslgning that his health Is poor
Throughout the inquiry 70 date
scores OF witnesses have testified that
Hanford was addicted to the exces-
slve use OF liquor and some of them
declared him to have acted indecent
ly In public places. In addition to
this a number OF witnesses have
snown that his action In appointing
receivers for various business con-
Germs In and about Seattle was far
from being above suspicion.
The fIanford defense collapsed ap-
parently when the investigating com
mittee showed a determined effort to
get at the bottom OF Judge Han
ford's alleged buslne.s deals with
litigants. The Han IA decision re-
ducing the Northern iaci6c railways
taxes, while he was negotiating for
the purchase OF thousands OF acres Of
land from the railway, was stagger-
Ing blow to the defense when Repre-
sentative Mccoy read II into the rec
ords.
On top OF this came the commit
tees sensational move late Saturday

existing between Kerr and McCord,
attorneys, and Hanford
When the committee adjourned
Saturday, Chairman Graham an
nounced that the inyestiga ION would
be resumed at o'clock this morn

But the committee did not take its
regular place at that time. Eor sew
eral minutes the committee members
and the attorneys for Hanford were
seen in hurried consultation About
9:35 the committee went into execu-
i've session 4 few minutes later.
nnsressman Mccoy called into the
inference all three OF Hanford's at
neys i. c. Hughes. Harold Pres
and c. W Dorr.
Rumors became rife At this juno
tire that the committee was discuss
ing what procedure to follow in case
Judge Hantord should resign.
About 1890 Chairman Graham,
Judge Hantord ana Attorney Hughes /
left the federal building and went to
a nearby telegraph office. Judge

that time, while Chairman Graham

Young Lady Married.

We wish very much that those who send
us items for our letter would sign their
names, so we could be assured of its
genuineness. We have a nice letter not
signed from lady in Milford, who sew
erely criticizes D. A, c. for whooping up
the many virtues and fine qualities Of
his own children and wishes us to get at
him. We have no desire to attack the
Milton scribe, so we propose that this
lady get on the Job herself, while we
enjoy the affray. We believe that she is
equal to the task, but D. A. c. is a
mighty writer and fighter too, begosh.
We also have a lengthy communica-
ton from Georgetown as to our views on
the DUPONT road, and asking why we do
not express our disapproval of it in the
Chronicle. We desire to state that we
have written an attack on the road at
divers times, but the publishers have
universally refused to print them. We
object to this and have vigorously from
my standpoint condemned the building
of this road, and always will, so long as
1t affects my property. I have read Mr..
Simpsons writing on the same subject,
and say that he voices my opinions ex-
actly.
The weather has been rough for the
last week, and the storm did much dam

few instances outbuildings were blown

AGAINST SUFFRAGE.

Editor of the CHRONICLE in your issue
of February 23rd, the lady from Harring-
ton thinks the women of this nation have
seen a great light. If it is the right kind
of light then happy are they; but If they
are mistaken in that light and the light
in them be darkness - as 1 believe it
would be when the women enter politics
then how great is that darkness. "
Would the women be in the light were
they engaged in such work as the recent
investigation at Washington has uncov-
cred F?
The scripture saws, The entrance of
thy words giveth light it giveth under
standing " The word also says: thy
desire shall be to thy husband and he
shall rule over thee; and 1.-The head of
every man is Christ and the head OF
the woman is the man.
What shall we do with this scripture?
Shall we say we know more and can do
better work than man and set aside the
Word of God
We are mothers, wives and sisters of
men and we know that our interests are
bound up with the best interests of men
and that to claim to do their work as
we'll as our own is to injure both.
