CONVENTION
Delegates at Walla Walla Are
Coaching Candidates for
Governor
SEVEN MEN IN RACE
The Great Unterrified Scent
Victory in the Air
This Year

WALLA WALLA, May 4.-Booms
and boomlets, some of them still in
cipient, others full grown announce
ments of candidates., appeared today
almost with the arrival of every Bour-
bon delegate to the state conven-
tion Monday to nominate delegates
to the Democratic national conven-
ton
Although there are only about 100
delegates here, there are already sey-
Ell candidates for gubernatortal hon
ors, represented either in person or
by representative.
Goldman Is Trotted Out
Most formidable among the new
booms are apparently the candidates.
of Attorney NJ. NJ. Goldman, of Seat
tie, for four years Judge of the su-
perior court of Columbia county, who
also served one term in the state
legislature. and that of William Black
man. of Spokane. for eight years
OtdiC laDOA commissioner uiuCl Wv
John R. Rogers and Gov. Henry Nc
Bride. Blackman declares that he
believes that the people of the state
are about ready for another Rogers
administration and will make his
campaign on this platform.
Other Aspirants Coming
l.. F. Chester, of Spokane, who a
short time ago announced his candi-
dacy, will arrive tomorrow Hugh c.
Todd, of Seattle, still insists that
all the counsel and advice in the
world cannot keep him from making
the race. E. c. Million, of Seattle,
and Senator David S. Troy, of China
cum, have their representatives on
the field who are quietly laying the
seed until their candidates arrive to-
morrow
.WalIa WaIIa for Dunphy
Walla Walla is solidly behind the
candidacy of William Dunphy of this
city, the present Democratic nation
al committeeman.
In spite of the statement issued by
Supreme Judge Stephen J Chadwick
that under the law he cannot become
candidate, delegates are still dis
cussing his making the race.
Spokane has already two congress
sional candidates in the Third dis
trict on the field, Lester p. Edge and
V. T. Tustin. Roscoe Drumheller,
of Dayton. and M. ]. Maloney, a no.
tel proprietor of Colfax, have also
quietly announced their ambition.
There will undoubtedly be move
made at the convention to indorse
state officers Whether it will carry
however, is difficult to foretell.
Hugh Wallace, of Tacoma, son-in
faw of Justice Mark A. Fullerton, of
the supreme court, is apparently slat-
ed to act as chairman of the conven-
ton.
Candidates for Lesser Offices
Among the candidates for state Of
fees present are Jesse Murphy, of
Seattle, who is candidate for in
surance commissioner. and A. A. Lew
is, city treasurer of Tacoma, who
is candidate for state treasurer.
George E. Ryan. secretary of tn.
state central committee. who, by the
way. is not a candidate for re-elec-
ton. is being urged by his friends
here to come out as a candidate for
secretary of state. Ryan has. how.
ever, up to the present time modest
ly declined to make the run.

Government Ready to Allot
Last Land Included in
Tieton Unit
2l TO 80 ACRES EACH
Applicant Must Personally
See the Land and Than
Take Chance

4>ONi II ANNA, May D. uc
United States reclamation servica
will on May % throw open for set
tlement LISP acres in the Tieton unit
of the Yakima reclamation project,
from twelve TO sixteen miles west of
North Yakima. OF this land 1857
acres are irrigable under the gov
ernment project.
The land has been divided by the
government into fourteen farm units,
from twenty-one to eighty acres each,
although none contains more than
rest is either too high to be watered
from the ditch or too rocky to be till
able.
Last Of the Tieton
The land is the last in the Tieto1
unit of the Yakima reclamation pro-
ject that will be given to the public
by the government until the work on
the Sunnyside unit is completed and
the tracts there are ready
Each settler who takes land in the
Tieton unit will receive the land for
the filing fee and for living on it five
years. However, he must assume
his share of the cost of constructing
the reclamation dams and canals; in
the case of the Tieton project $93 an
acre, besides the cost of maintenance
at present S1.50 an acre. This
amount the reclamation service al
lows him to pay in ten annual INSTALL
ments.
Method of Application
The applications for the land will
be in the same form as ordinary
homestead applications, but each must
be accompanied by an application
for water rights. The applications,
specifying the tract desired and con-
tanning statement that the appli-
cant has visited the land is acquaint-
ed with it, will be received at the
United States land office in North
Yakima, May 25. They must be exe-
cuted, that is, filled in and the state
'ment that the applicant is familiar
with the land sworn to before a Sill
perior court Judge or land office
official any time after May 6.
Should only one person apply for
any single tract, it will be awarded
60 him. To allot those tracts for
which two or more applications are
made, the government will adopt the
system of drawing which has been
followed in most of the recent land
openings. The names of the appli-
cants will be written on cards of uni
form size and color which will be
placed in big receptacle. from which
the drawings will be made.
Must Offer Part Payment
Each application must be accom-
panied by certified check or mon
ey order for the first installment ON
the water right, which is $3.50 an ir-
rigable acre, and $3.50 an acre for
the years water.
The United States reclamation SER
vice has spent $5.SOO,OOO on the Yaki-
ma irrigation project, and expects to
spend $3.000,000 more. Last year t
supplied water to 1150 persons for
$4,000 acres. This land has increas-
ed in value approximately $3.50 an
acre from what it was worth in a
raw state, and has been improved to
the approximate amount of $500 an
acre by the building of homes and
the planting of orchards.

COUNTY ASSESSOR MURPHY
HAS AN ENDLESS JOB.

Perhaps the one county officer who
receives the most personal abuse is
County Assessor Murphy. There is
nothing loud about the abuse heaped
upon this official, because the per-
sons who heap the abuse do not care
to have it known that they have been
''caught" with short tax statement
But nevertheless, the average man
feels "sore" when called to order
because he has forgotten" to list
some important property in his tax
statement.
Contrary to the general opinion,
the county assessors work never
ends. Beginning the first Of March
each year he sends out into the field
a corps Of deputies to assess personal
property. Every other year there IL

assessments on real estate appoints

rRyI DONER's SICKNESS AND
DEATH IN SOUTH AFRICA

A long article in the Evangelical
visitor, the River Brethren paper,
written by Miss Sadie Book, tells oil
Elder Levi Doner's sickness and death
after his arrival in South Africa
where ne had gone to do missionary
work.
Miss Sadie Book is the daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Book OF South
dickinson, and is missionary TO
south Africa from the River Breth-
rem church.
Levi Doner was well known in
dickinson county and the story OF
mia sickness and death follows:

mr. less with malaria fever ever since
being in this country. He had rather

guage of our native helpers; and
Bro. Hugo sang some in the language
Of these people.
The four white gentlemen, Bro.
Steckley, and one of our boys, were
the pall-bearers. The precious re-
mains of Bro. Doner were laid to
rest beneath a large tree where he
had preached his last sermon just a
little over three weeks before he died,
when he was so weak that he could
hardly stand. 1t was only nine
weeks and a half from the time Bro.
Doner arrived here until his death.
We are much pleased TO have with
us at present. Ed. Steingerwald and
Sr. Avis. They arrived on the 18th.
We had sent a couple kilograms to
the Matopo Mission during Bro. Do
