SEATTLE, March 9.--Walla Walla

We're chosen for the Democratic state
convention by the Democratic state
central committee which met here to-
day.
There was bitter opposition to the
calling of the convention for May G.,
the Harmon and Clark leaders en-
deavoring to have it called for a later
date The fight for an early conVen-
ton was led by Chairman Chas. G.
Heifner, western campaign manager
for Governor Wilson. H. d Merritt
of Spokane, a Clark leader, was fore
most in urging a later date. The Will
son men won by a large majority, an
effort to select May 1S as a compro-
mise date being defeated, 25 to 10.
The committee decided that in coun-
ties of 5000 population or over reg

with delegates chosen at precinct cau-

county convention is left to the coun-

Federal Authorities Wrong in
Report Regarding Yakima

There is no foul brood among

Of Jesse Thornton, who is bee inspec-
tor of this district. He says he has
been unable to discover any trace Of
foul brood in any of the colonies
though he has been making a spe-
cial search for it. Recently the Herald
published a report sent out from the
National capital with reference to
foul brood in this valley and telling
something of the disease. The federal
officials have accidentally discovered
he disease here. Under the law it is
, misdem eanor to have foul brood in
ohe colonies and be aware of the fact

vent it's spread. Because of the ne

been making an especial effort to de-

he was convicted in superior court on
February was that of murder in the
second degree for the killing of Will
liam Lusby at his ranch between
Status and Alfalfa on the night of Fri
day, April IA. 1911.
Billy George and Jim johnson were
tried separately for the commission
of the crime. and both were convicted
of murder in the second degree. From
the evidence it was shown that the
former was the principal. He was
sentenced a few weeks ago to serve a
sentence of from 10 to 80 years in
the pentitentiary, and is now confined
in that institution. Both of the men
convicted are Indians
Jim Johnson is aged about 40 years,
and has been in poor health for years,
An effort was made to acquit him on
the plea of insanity. he having sus-
tanned an injury to his head several
years dSO, anu testimony WAS lnlIO-
duced to show that his mother, ac'
credited with being a witch doctor,
had treated him for the before men
toned defect. An attempt was also
made to prove an alibi for Johnson,
his mother testitying that on the
very night of the killing, and at the
time it was done she was treating
him by faith cure at his home.

Then they got up and walked away
up to where the baggage men rest

But as the train pulled out the swain

station platform was crowded, but he
didn't know it. He saw only one fig

which a few heard. If the young

youth wasn't beaten. Reaching into

J. J. CALLAHAN HAS
FORMED NEW COMPANY
Will Engage in Dry Goods Bust
ness in North Yakima About
September l

]. J. Callahan, one of the members
OF the Catalan company, popular in
this city for nine years, has decided
to remain here and again engage in
business. The Catalan company de-
cided to retire after the fire which
visited their establishment in the
Miller building on the Afternoon of
January s, last. Mr.. Callahan an
nounces that he has secured as an as
sociate one of the most able dry goods
men in the country
Another important fact in connec-
ton herewith is that the new firm
has secured a suitable location, but
owing to the nature of the after
the place cannot be made public at
this time.
The name of Mr.. Callahan's asso-
ciate will not be announced for sew
eral months, when both will go east
for the purchase of brand new $50
600 stock of fall and winter goods,
with the intention of opening their
store for business September 1.
The new firm will carry the same
popular lines which tended to make
the Catalan company so successful,
and Mr.. Callahan is confident that
his experience here during the past
years will enable him to successfully
cater to the North Yakima trade.
Discussing his new associate and
a. tab
for their store, Mr.. Callahan made
the explanation that his partner was
at present holding a responsible po-
sition and did not desire at present to
announce his plans. Mr.. Callahan feels
confident that his associate will prove
popular and will be valuable ad
dition to the business life of the city.
Continuing Mr.. Callahan said.

HALF MILLION
MUST BE PAID
That Much Becomes Due in Next
Thirty Days for Water for
Irrigation
SUNNYSIDE AND TETON
PROJECTS CALL FOR 1T
Over Four Hundred Water Users
Now Located on Acreage West
of This City Coming Under the
Government System

Nearly half minron dollars from
Yakima county will be due the federal
government within the next month or
so in connection with the Sunnyside
and Tieton reclamation projects. From
lands under the Sunnyside canal d
quarter of a million dollars will be
due in round figures on March LIST,
and from the Tieton something over
geo by April list. The Teton
amount will probab bly, run heavier. 1t
will be seen from the above figures
that the nation is getting back in
pretty substantial chunks the money
expended in reclamation construction
work in this valley.
Payment in anticipation of the sea-
son has been fairly good at the
United States land office here. Very
good in fact, but nothing compared
with what is expected. February has
seen approximately $4,000 added to
the amount paid in which is consid-
cred to be excellent in view of tho
fact that February is not a full grown
month. 1t will be a surprise to many
people to learn that there are now
pproXimately 400 water users under
the Teton. 1t may also be a surprise
to know that Tieton land is undergo
ing rapid settlement at this time.
Along all of the main roadways lead
ing into the Tieton, at this season of
the year there may be seen daily
wagon loads of household furniture
enroute for the new acreageS. Tents
and shacks, substantial dwellings and
barns appear to spring up over night
and daily the sagebrush limit is be-
ing pushed closer to the hills, and
nightly the progress is manifested by
the watch-fres of a hundred different
camps
