ONLY 6 PER CENT VOID
Very Few Irregularities Found in
Seven Referendum Petitions.

Irregularities in the referendum
petitions, as certified by Secretary of
State I. M. Howell to county prose-
cutors, involve only per cent of
the signatures on the petitions, a
marked Improvement as compared
with the initiative petitions last year,
and taken to indicate generally that
the early irregularities were the re-
suit of lack of familiarity with direct
legislation methods.
In petitions from eight counties,
Asotin, Benton, Columbia, Ferry,
Garfield, Island, Jefferson and Ska
mania, no illegal signatures in any
form were found. More than half
of all the irregularities were from
King county.
There we're less than 100 persons
who signed their names more than
once on the same petition. Approx
imately 5000 signatures were not
certified as those of registered voters.

OLD LANDMARK GOES
First Odd Fellows Hall in State
Makes Way for New Building.

The first Odd Fellows hall built in
the state of Washington. after stand
ing more than 60 years, is being torn
down to make way for the modern
concrete building to be built by ]. L.
Peters on Washington street between
Fourth and Fifth. Timbers OF Doug
las fir, taken from the old building,
which has been used up to the pres
ent time, apparently are in as good
condition as when first put in place.
Construction of the two-story
frame structure is said to have been
started in 1853. but the records of
the local Odd Fellows show that it
was first occupied as I. o. o. F. hall
by Lodge No. / when their charter
was received, April 1, 1855, from the
Oregon Jurisdiction. The building
continued as Odd Fellows hall, and
also was used by the Knights of
Pythias until 1888, when the three
story brick 1. o. o. F. building at
Fifth and Main streets now in use
was erected. Thereafter the old
building was used by a millinery shop
and real estate Offices.
The building was still serviceable,
and the only reason it was supplant-
ed by concrete was the desire of its
owner, J. L. Peters, president of the
Chamber of Commerce. to install a
heating plant in the building now to
be constructed. which will serve near
by property also, and to erect an up
to-date building on the valuable busi-
ness site. \

N|sQUALLY PIONEER
IS GORED TO DEATH
ANDREW j. SMITH KILLED BY
YOUNG BULL@OLD RESIDENTS

Many of the older residents of the
county attended the funeral services
at the Borthwick-M Clintic chapel in

ident of this county since 1882, who
was gored and mangled to death
early Tuesday morning by a young
Jersey bull on the ranch belonging to
his sister, Mrs. Sarah B. Bennett. near

Mr.. Smith was well known
throughout the county. having lived
on the old Packwood place, one OF
the earliest homesteads, when he

year ago. Rev. N. M. Temple, pastor
of the Methodist church, off1ciated at

about 4:3O every morning, build the
fires and go out into the pasture for
the cattle, and when he was missing,
Mrs. Hartman first went to the barn

for some time by the bull in his lust
for blood. The animal was later
killed.
