Commission Back Plan.

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 1O.-(SpeciaD
Preparatory to the Panama Pacific
International exposition, at San Fran
cisco In 1915, and to the opening of
the $2,OOO,000 Davenport hotel now
being built in Spokane, a combina-
ton expected to draw thousands of
tourists to this section-the fish ana
game protective association will ask
the state legislature to establish
game preserve on Mount Spokane the
highest peak in the Spokane country
Ihe land asked to be set aside is
strip Is miles long and six miles
wide, and includes a favorite ren-de-
ZVous of hunters and anglers. The
association asks that the land be left
as a breeding place for both large
and small animals. Experts believe
the region will to a certain extent
stock itself, as deer and other game
abound in the surrounding country. In
anticipation Of favorable action by the
legislature at its session this month
the fish and game protective associ-
ation has arranged to ship 10 head of
elk from Gardiner, Mont, to be re-
leased on Mount Spokane.

Mutual Advancement of Those En-

Edmonton. Alta, Jan. 1O.-(Spe-
cial Western Porters' association,
composed of knights of the whisk-
broom, will be incorporated under the
laws of Alberta at the next session of
the provincial Legislature in 1913, If
the application of William Rea and
his associates is granted. The OBJ
jects of the organization are ''the
mutual advancement of those engag-
ed in the work of railway porters and
for social purposes" Rea, who is
acting for the western porters, init
mated that similar legislation will be
sought in the neighboring coast and
prairie provinces. He was evasive
when asked what might happen to a
traveller who failed to cross the palm
of porter following the adjournment
of the next session of the legislature,
but hinted that no room for specula-
tion will exist in the event a law is
passed.

JUSTICE MASON.

Justice Henry Mason Of the Kan
sas supreme court will be a candi
date for reelection next year. The
judicial officers are hereafter to be
elected on non-partisan ticket and
this gives opportunity to make II
unanimous. Justice Mason is one
of Kansas noblemen. A student, a
lawyer of high attachments and
high ideals, Judge of broad under
standing and much ability with a
temperament that makes his work
a joy and inspires confidence and
holds friends, he ought to be elected
to the supreme bench for life. KAN
sas is honored when 1t can keep
such men as Justice Mason in its
service.

KEEP IN MIND.

There Is one section OF the new
Kansas automobile law which Is not
generally understood and 1t applies
to all vehicles and yet 1t has been
unwritten law for many years. The
part that people forget most often
follows: whenever any person
travelling with any vehicle or con-
veyance on any road in this state
shall overtake another vehicle or
conveyance travelling In the same
direction and shall by sound or call
indicate to the driver thereof his or
her desire to pass, 1t shall be the
duty of the driver of the vehicle or
conveyance in front, II the nature
of the ground or the condition of
the road will permit 1t, to promptly
turn to the right of the center Of
the road, and the driver of the We
hicle or conveyance behind shall
then turn to the left of the center
of the road and pass by without in
terfering or interrupting and the
driver of said vehicle or conveyance
passing shall not return to the CEN
ter Of the road until at least thirty
(30) feet ahead of the vehicle or
conveyance passed"

The prisoners name is John stew
ems. Stevens says he killed Mont
gomery on a. clear night and made
his escape on passenger train i'm
