GREAT NORTHERN
TO RUN SPECIALS
Geo. w. Woods Meets with sua-
cess in Securing Premiums
for Rlchland Co. Fair.

Geo. w. Woods, secretary Of
the Richland County Fair Assn,
returned Monday morning from
st. Paul and Minneapolis, where
he spent a few days on fair busi-
ness.
In addition to contracting for
five special trains with the Great
Northern railroad, he succeeded
in inducing the passenger and ad-
vertising departments of the
Great Northern, Northern Paci-
flc and Milwaukee roads to agree
to assist in advertising the fair
as they never have before.
Mr.. Woods impressed on the
officials the necessity of co-opera-
ton this year with the fair off,
GERS, if the Richland county fair
was to remain a permanent insti-
tuition.
The Northern Pacific has al
ready offered a silver trophy as a
premium for the fair and the
Great Northern is expected to do
likewise. Mr.. Woods has assur-
ances from Howard Noble, gen.
eral passenger agent, that he will
recommend the giving of suit
able silver trophy.
The secretary also called on
many twin city merchants and
was successful in securing many
additional merchandise prem
iums. The complete list will be
announced shortly. 1t is already
twice as large as any premium
list ever offered at previous fairs
and the beauty of it is that the
J premiums have not cost the fair
association a single cent, outside
of postage.

conditions and he. replied that he
thot he would be able to fill the
position temporarily so that
could finish my school. Later I
decided to take the place as depu-
ty and to commence work in Janu
ary. l so informed Mr.. Smith and
he stated that such an arrange
ment would be alright. The
school board were willig to re-
lease me, and in a few days they
had secured a principal to take
my place.
Shortly after this l received a
letter from Mr.. Smith stating
that he was not sure he would
qualify for county superintend-
ent. l told him I had depended
upon the deputyship and that the
board at Shepenne had secured
some one in my place.. He re-
piled that he could enter the Of
flee and appoint his deputies. 1
afterwards went to see him and
he gave me to understand that if
he decided to resign after enter
ing the Office he would do what
he could to have me retained as
deputy. He gave me this assur-
ance on more than one occasion.
AS time passed Mr.. Smith ap-
peared to have given up all thot
of resigning and was planning for
future activity in connection with
the work of the office.
On the seventh of April Mr..
Smiths resignation came before
the county commissioners and
was accepted and on the same
day Mr.. Thornton's application
for the place was before the board
and he was appointed.
This change in the superfn-
tendency was not known to the
rest Of the Office force until the
next day. After hearing of the
change, however, asked Mr..
Thornton by telephone about my
connections with the Office. He
replied that I might as we'll look
for another position, that he had
decided to make a change. To
the question as to whether he had
arranged for a field deputy he re-
piled that he had.
When Mr.. Thornton came into
the Office a few days later he told
me could stay till the first OF
may, intimating that it would be
too bad to turn me out at that
time. After protested and a ma
jority of the county commission
ers and others had used their in
fluence to have me retained, Mr..
Thornton said I could remain till
the first Of June. At this time he
said he had no ideas whom he
would appoint but that he was
sure there would be a change.
Omitting several details the
above are, in general, the correct
circumstances connected with my
becoming attached to, and detach-
ed from, the Office of county sup
erintendent. l have tried to look
at the matter from an impartial
viewpoint-have endeavored to
stand off, as it were, away from
myself, and to take the point of
view of the ordinary individual
who was personally disinterested.
/ have tried to look at the situa.
ton as Mr.. Smith or Mr.. Thorn
ton might be supposed to look at
it, and as either of them might
have viewed it had our positions
been reversed. I cannot but con-
clude that neither Mr.. Smith nor

Will Not Withdraw Recognition.
London, Oct. 17.-There is no likli-
hood of Great Britain's recognition Of
President Huerta Of Mex
leo being withdrawn at present, as has
been suggested in dispatches from
Washington. in the opinion of British
government circles.
It is admitted that something might
arise which would induce Sir Edward
Grey to take this drastic course, but 1t
is pointed out that nothing thus far
has occurred to change the official
view that recognition of the provisional
government was the correct policy.
1t is realized here that the state Of
affairs in Mexico is very bad but Great
Britain is refraining from interfering
in any way between Huerta and the
constitutiOnalists.

HIS little daughter Olga, from their
Massachusetts home, and leaving
his wife destitute, fed across the

Of sensational episodes. in which he
had first abused his wife. and then
.'railroaded" her to an insane asylum.
On April 9 Ellis and his child took
passage on the Wilhelmina, coming
to Honolulu. from which place later
he sailed for Yokohama on the Man
churia. II Is the hope of learning
something of the kidnaper's plans
that friends of Mrs. Ellis who have
interested themselves in this extra

OF the All-Hawaii polo team was
