Pape Demands Removal
william ]. Pape, local publisher
and dictator OF the present g. o. p,
organization here is personally de-
manding removal of some Of the
signers of the minor parties petit
ton signers. He and his group are
aiming mostly at the signers OF
the independent republican party's
supporters.
Evidence Of Publisher Pape's
| personal interest in the retaliation
against republicans who signed the
Independent &. o. p. petition Is
shown by his letter to Republican
Registrar Faller asking that Peter
Dnais, regular &. o. p. chairman OF
the first ward be dropped from the
party primary list. His letter Is az
| follows:
"Mr. Albert Faller,
Republican Registrar of
Voters,
"City Hall,
waterbury, Conn.
"Dear Mr.. Faller:
81 enclose herewith q commu-
nicatlon that was received in my
Office some three weeks ago. 1t
seems to me that this commune
cation indicates activity ON the
part of Mr.. DUMAS in conjunction
with the fling OF the petition of
the Independent Republicans,
so-called, showing an active af-
flliation with the organization
other than that of the republic
can party.
81, therefore, request that you
drop Mfr. Dunais' name from the
republican list i'm accordance
with the law as made and pro.
vided in the General Statutes.
every truly yours,
WILLIAM j. PAPE."
(signed) :
Violated Their Rights
It has been ruled that signing
the petitions Of other minor parties
those on the regular republican
primary lists have ceased to be
bona flde g. o. p. voters. Republi.
cans were found to have signed the
independent democratic party's pc.
tition, also. They are also being
cited in. No action is being taken
by the democratic registrar at this
time because of the fact that the
| democratic primaries. takes place
Monday night and citations to re.
move persons from the primary list
must be served nine days before
the hearings on such matters take
place. Further action is likely but
not until next year, from all indica-
tions, IS no further primaries will
be held until the state ticket is
made up in 1886.
Motor Patrolman Garvey was
assigned to the task of serving the
citations by Superintendent of Po-
lice Joseph H. Mclean. The work
was done quickly SO that the hear
ing on the republicans will go on
Tuesday without delay.

WORK AT MINE
PROGRESSING
Trip to Idaho Properties Is
Thrilling to Local
Stockholders

Rapid progress is being made at
the Cornerstone mine, according to
a report made locally Monday by H
w. Desgranges at the stockholders
meeting. The buildings are about
completed, he stated, and the ma
chinery will arrive the first of next
week. Active operation will begin
as soon as the equipment has been
installed.
The buildings and machinery will
permit handling about twenty-five
tons Of ore per day, according to the
report. The directors expect to
net about ten dollars ton from
their operations. The plant is so
arranged that upon proving the
success Of the operations, it can
be enlarged to any desired capacity
by the addition of further units.
With Mr.. Desgranges, Mr.. and
Mrs. T. r. Day and Mr.. and Mrs.
E. II. Behrman made the trip to the
mine. Besides visions of wealth
produced by the mountain of ore at
the mine, the local people vastly
enjoyed the change to the noun
famous scenery. At one point of the
road they made "a turns in a dis
lance of eleven milestone Of
them so sharp that it required
switchbackS.

proves Hcreen

For the convenience of theatre
patrons, Don Visger, of the local
Liberty explained to a Courier Re-
porter representative this morning
that the new state sales tax is fig
ured for theatres in different brack-
cts than on other commodities.
Adult admissions are to remain
at Soc, but it will be necessary for
the patron to pay the state tax of
&c on each SOC ticket, and no tax
tokens will be accepted at the box
office. Loge admissions will be 4Oc
plus the &c tax. Childrens' tickets
nave been reduced to &c, and NO
tax viii be charged on these. A &c
tax will also have to be collected on
all passes.
Keeping in step with modern
movie improvements the local thea
tire screen has just undergone re-
neW1ng process This is a very ex-
penSive operation in that the
screen is covered with a coating of
transparent and non-light reflect
ing rubber material. It is applied
by special process and is absolute
ly uniform for every square inch
OF surface. The result is that it
affords picture remarkably clear
IN detail, easy on the eyes, and yet
very brilliant, with deep back
grounds. It also has Improved
sound quality by admitting the
sound waves an easier passage thru
the thousands Of tiny holes in the

be handled daily, Mr.. Cornwell, the
plant foreman stated. The mach
inery has been overhauled and put
into first class condition and from
the first days operations, every
thing has operated smoothly.
The late spring and the advent
of local grass upon the fresh mar

UMATILLADAM
HAS NOT BEEN
RECOMMENDED
Engineer in Charge Says
Nothing Certain About the
Upper River Work; Ru-
mors Working Overtime

Rumors that the high dam at
umatilla has been authorized are
current. That the government has
secured and is laying out town
site for the construction city, is
another report going the rounds.
Reports, ostensibly from the en-
gineers in charge, that the govern
ment plans to purchase all the land
which was covered by the big flood
in 1894, are also current. That year
nearly all the land in the Garden
Tracts was under water.
AS a matter Of plain fact, let
ter to Secretary Geo. D. Peters,
read this noon at the chamber of
commerce meeting, written by the
army engineer in charge of the
Columbia Snake river development,
states that the project had not
been recommended.
Pres. II. G. Schmidt, however,
was certain. that the work would be
done and urged the business men
present to not take that portion of
the letter too seriously.
A letter from Gov. Martin thank
ed the chamber for it's gift of green
asparagus and said he'd do what
was proper about declaring May
the asparagus month.
The meeting disintegrated when
the discussion started about the
why's and wherefores of the state
sales tax.

RETAIL SALES
TAX BRINGS UP
ODD REACTIONS
Lack of Tokens Makes the
Collection of Small Sums
Difficult; Plan Increases
Grocers' Work

After two days of paying the
states new retail sales tax, the re-
actions run the whole gamut. Some
moaned about 1t, some smiled toll
erantly and others merely showed
annoyance. Some stores collected
the tax and some didn't. Some In
sisted upon observing the letter OF
the law and others took liberties
with it, going so far as to set arbi-
trary figures for the collection OF
the full penny instead of fooling
around with the one-fifth frac-
tons.
without supply of the fractional
cent tokens, the Pasco merchants
association printed up a bunch OF
little slips to be used until the
states supply of metal tokens ar
rive.
II ask you to be patient, to give
It q fair chance to succeed" Gov.
Martin said In his radio address the
other night.
"How you gonna be patient when
everybody has a different idea about
what's what?" one citizen bemoan-
ed.
1--WE don't have enough pennies
to go around" one department store
manager complained. 1--WE charge
them pennies when they don't have
tokens, to come as close to the two
per cent as we can but, it takes a
lot of bookkeeping.
'aThis thing of trying to keep two
sets of figures in the grocery bus
mess, on account of the exemp-
tions, is driving the whole force at
our store mad" one local grocer
said. 1.-THE tax collections and fig
uring in our business takes just
about twice as long to handle as a
regular sale. The accounting is go
ing to be just as difficult, too. Why
1t will require extra help just to
make the small collections" he
said.
well, we finally came to is" an
other merchant said. Reports
that the administration was at
tempting to put the entire popula-
ton at work has finally succeeded.
! find that I'm now working for
MIR. Martin principally as a tax
collector. But I'm not yet on the
pay roll"
All in all local reactions to the
tax were not as serious as had been
anticipated. The fact that the dis
tribution of the tax money has been
made public has initiated against
revolt and the citizens are, on the
whole, making light of the entire
affair.
A supply of the fractional cent
tax tokens is expected to arrive To-
cally this week.
