WEBSTER A CANDIDATE

The last prop Of those who quest
ioned the eligibility of Judge J. Stan.
ley Webster of Spokane to run for
congress in the Fifth district was
knocked out last Saturday when the
Supreme Court, sitting at Olympia,
handed down a decision denying a
writ of prohibition to prevent Judge
Webster's name from going on the
primary ballot, The decision of the
court was unanimous,
Enemies of Judge Webster had been
very active since his resignation from
tbs Supreme Court In circulating the
charge that he was ineligible under
the constitution to run for congress,
on account Of section of the state
constitution providing that Judge
could not run for an Office other than
judicial one during the term for
which he had been elected to the
bench. Judge Webster contended that
the trainers of the constitution never
intended that provision to apply to a
candidate for congress. because IA
member of congress is a federal Of
ficer and his qualifications are gov
erned only by the constitution of the
United States.
Judge Webster's case, it was set
forth, is unlike that of Judge w. w.
Black of Everett who was disqualified
by the Supreme Court for governor
as the governorship is state office,
while that of member of congress
is a United States office.
Judge Webster is completing this
week his tour of the outside counties
of the Fifth district by speaking in
Lincoln and Douglas counties. At the
end of this week he will return to
Spokane for a final drive in the city
Of Spokane and Spokane county.
Straw ballots taken at several
places in the district show that Judge
Webster is outdistancing his COM
petitors for the republican nomina-
ton by overwhelming majorities. In
one ballot taken to feel out the senti-
ment as between Judge Webster and
&c. C. Dill, on the assumption that they
will be the republican and democratic
candidates respectively, there were
70 votes cast, Judge Webster receiv-
ing 81 and Dill IL.

SUPREME COURT JUDGES

Feeling that by reason of the peo-
pie being so necessarily absorbed in
the war the maintenance of our non
partisan judiciary system might be
to some extent overlooked, We remind
the voters that there are to be voted
on at the primary and elected at the
election three Supreme Court judges
for the six-year term. The present
incumbents for these positions are
now on the bench.
This community should be interest
ed in the candidacy of Wallace Mount
particularly. He became a citizen of
Lincoln county, Washington, in terri
torial days and was its prosecuting
attorney. On the admission of the
state into the union he was elected
one of the first judges of the Superb
or Court and served in that capacity
from 1889 to 1897 He then removed
to Spokane and entered in the gen
eral practice. He was elected to the
legislature for its session in 1899
and thereafter in 1900 elected judge
of the Supreme Court. where he has
since served with credit and honor.
Judge Main is from Seattle, having
for years been in the faculty of the
University of Washington and there
after a judge of the Superior Court
until he became a member of the Su-
preme bench. Judge Mitchell's home
is in Olympia. Until he Twas APP
pointed to the Supreme bench during
the last year he was a judge of the
Superior Court of Thurston and Ma
son counties since 1908. He has sat
in many counties throughout the state
and proven his fitness for the posi-
tion he now occupies.
In order to sustain and uphold the
stability and high standing of a court
particularly court of last resort
it is always best that judges who
have clean record should be re-elect-
ed and kept on the bench
Judge Kenneth Mcintosh has no OPP
position for the four year term.
Judge Warren w. Tolman is OF
Spokane and was appointed to sue
ceed Judge Webster. who resigned
during the past year.
The Supreme Court is made of both
Republicans and Democrats. Among
these candidates both parties are rep
PRESENTED. We believe it would be q
benefit to the court to the state and
Tits citizens to re-elect these men tc
The bench.

In response to the call of the Secre-
tary of the United States Treasury,
for more gold, mining men OF North
western states and the Province of
British Columbia will meet at Spo-
kane gold conference, September 5
and 6, to devise ways and means for
stimulation of the industry at once.
The conference will be International
in character so that recommendations
may be sent simultaneously to the
United States and Canadian govern
ments and thus insure wider effect.
Already several leading men of Brit
ish Columbia have signified their in
tention of being present and it is ex-
pected that both the dominion and
pOvincial governments will be offici-
ally represented. The meeting will
take place during the Interstate Fair,
when it is certain that mining men
from many districts in the Northwest
will be in the city
While definite arrangements have
not yet been concluded by Northwest
Mining Association, which is sponsor
! for the conference, it is expected that
ex-senator George Turner will act as
chairman and that every educational
institution in the Northwest will be
represented. The main questions to
be decided are where gold can be pro-
duced in the Northwest; why it is
not being produced there at this time
and how the governments could. aid
production Immediately. 1t is hoped
that the opinions from delegates rep
resenting important districts in Idaho
Washington, Oregon, Montana and
British Columbia, will result in the
formulation of constructive >sugges-
/! tions to aid the governments of North
America in putting into immediate
effect some plan or plans for stimu-
lation of production.
1t is not proposed at this time tc
| discuss the gold question in it's larger
ASPECTS, although some phases of the
matter cannot well be entirely elm
mated from the deliberations of the
conference. The allied governments
require gold and it is the patriotic
duty of every mining man to RESPOND
to that call and do what he can tt
aid the cause under existing condi
tions. Suggestions already made urg,
construction of automobile roads t.
promising gold districts payment o
a war bonus by the governments; re
mission of the excess profits and spe
cial war taxes; rebates of 25 pc
cent upon the government railroad
freight rates, which were horizontal,
raised by that proportion in jun
last. All these suggestions. will
many others dictated by special con
lditions in different localities, will b.
discussed at the conference and it i
confidently expected that the resul
Twill be beneficial to the gold minin
ifdudstry of the Northwest.

DROWNED IN WANICUT LAKE

An exceptionally strange and very
sad drowning occurred in Wanicl
lake Saturday about noon. The vic
tim was the two-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. j. A. Moss, who are living
on the r. G. Johnson place at the
south end of the lake. While the
family was at dinner the child was
sitting for a time upon mis- fathers
lap. The child slippen down and
went out doors. He was missed for
half an hour when the father went
out to hunt for the missing infant.
Walking down to the lake. only a few
steps from the house, he was horT'-
fed to discover the child noatIng On
his face some thirty or forty rect
from shore. The little fellow was
brought to shore at once, out life was
extinct. 1t is the presumption that
the little child walked out into the
lake, fell down in the water and nor
being able to recover his rect drown

far behind that it became necessary
for you to go to France to learn of

matter before Congress to the end
that a thorough investigation may be
made and the full light of day may
be thrown on such barbarities.

to your standard.
We believe that such course
would tend to lengthen the war and
enable Germany to extend her human
izing policy to our shores as she has
done to Russia by cooperation with
the same elements.
We believe that, while this course

A DENIAL

The price-fixing committee of the
War Industries Board authorizes the
following statement: "Rumors hav-
ing been circulated by certain pub
fishing companies to the effect that
the government would discontinue
fixing prices on scrap iron and steel
we wish to say that such rumors are
utterly without foundation To the
contrary, the control of the scrap iron
and steel prices and the stimulation
of the scrap iron and steel industry
are matters of first importance il
supplying our needs"

Hon. r. A. Hutchinson is decidedly
in the running for congressman from
the Fifth district. His business affairs
have been such that so far he has been
unable to get out among the people

is bent upon saving his wheat for the
country and will not take time from
that important object to set up his
political fences. This Office is in re-

MORE DETAILS
 OF KILLING OF IDITARD MAN

Particulars regarding the murder ot Joseph Riley, prominent mining man of the interior, well known in Seward was received in the mail from Idita- Tod. Mailo Cegara, a Monteneglin wood chopper was the murderer.
 The crime took place in Riley's boil CT house. Whilethe victim was repair ing the boiler with his back turned, Cegara fired three shots from 3S- calibre Colt, which entered Riley's back.
 The physician says any one of the shots would have proved fatal. The operator died without uttering a word. The murderer threw the gun in the SHOW. He was arrested a short dist ance from the boiler house by the enl- ployecs and escorted to Riley's office and placed under an armed guard until the arrival of the deputy marshal from Flat City.
 The Coroners jury brought in yer dict of guilty, and Cegara was placed in the jail at Flat City.
 The controversy was about wood cut by the prisoner and two partners for iGley.

 Bunch and Judge Grosscup piled Mr Roberts with all sorts of questions put the fact still remained that Sew, ard was not receiving sufficient colo storage space to take care of even one half of the frozen product for ship. ment.
 blr Baxter announced that the Vic UolIa would call at Seward on all Southbound trips from Nome this sea son and all cold storage space had be- en reserved for the San Juan company from Seward.
 Mir. Kent asked Mir. Roberts if Can adian steamers were allowed to carry freight if the frozen fish shipments would be relieved. Mr. Roberts stated that he did not believe that the Can adjan steamers had any cold storage plants aboard except for the needs of yhe stewards department. Mir. Bunch said that the Canadian steamers would 0e forced to rebuild space for feight and if this was done he doubted if cold
 forage equipment could be secured.
 MT. Roberts stated that,on the av- arage, 300 aoxes of frozen fish could Je shipped from Seward every week from about the first of March to the firstof December. Lack of cold stor- age on steamers prevented. MT. Kent suggested that the steamship Compan- les add to their cold storage space to Iccomodate this demand.
 Mr. Clark representing the fishing industries of Alaska, discussed the fishing business from Seward, show ing that with proper shipping Caciii- ties, SewarG wruld be the cen,c. of the industry in southwestern Alaska. MT Clark pointed out that fi'tsrmen would realize more by coming to Sew ard than going to Ketchikan or Prince Rupert. DistilIate and shipping facili- ties were needed.
 MT. Sauers was asked to .nak? pro- tests but agreed that the only exor- bitant rate was that on root vegetables
 MT. Kent asked if there were any other protests, end none being ended the hearing saylng that he wanted it understood that the govern ment in Washington was anxious to le'p the people of Alaska, wanted chen to remain Tn the nortl. and was at all times ready to do anything to adjust any difficulty. Complaints could be made at any time indivicually or collectively.
