The I reports of A. E. Meade, former gov ernor, who is receiver for the bank, and of the state bank examiner, show beyond question that other charges will be preferred against Welty, as do also the statements of the deposi tors' committee. During the time that he has been absent from the city Welty has been in hiding in the wilds of British Co lumbia. A reward of $500 was of fered for his arrest by the board of county commissioners, but this was withdrawn on motion of the prose cuting attorney, who stated to the board some days ago that he had in formation in his possession that led him to believe Welty would come back of his own free will and give himself up.

A colored man, giving the name of William Hodgen and classified by the officers as a tramp burglar, was ar rested this morning by Sheriff Tay lor and Chief of . Police Gurdane. He is charged with having burglarized the house of R. Moss, three miles east of Pendleton on the reservation. It Is alleged that he went through the house last evening, taking a shotgun anj a quantity of canned goods be sides ransacking the house. He brought the gun 0 Pendleton and dis posed of it thla morning at a local pawnshop. A short time thereafter ha waa found by the two officers, just west or town. He admits pawning the gun but says he found it in the road. As he was seen to enter the Moss house, a trip to the penitentiary undoubtedly awaits Urn. ernment demands a royalty of 50 cents or $2 per ton for the coal that Is mined, it is not the miner that Is compelled to pay thlB charge, it Is not the company that takes it from the mine, but it is the man who uses it to create power to turn the wheels of lndustry.lt Is the man who burns it in his cook stove or heater, who even tually pays this 60 cents or $2. And whether 60 cents or $2 is charged, the manufacturing industry of the northwest is crippled to that extent. Thus a charge Is placed' upon the manufacturing Interests In this part of the country that is not placed up on those in any other part of the union. "Why was not this policy of lens ing our natural resources put into effect years ago? Why can we not have our lands and our water power on the same plan as the older states obtained theirs? "The magazines and papers are full of tommyrot about somebody trying to steal something from the people. A bureau has actually been formed at Washington which has an equal In no other bureau of publicity in America. From this bureau there are sent out broadcast, misstate ments, false statements and half truths, to the great detriment of the west. "There is a total of 66,618,000 horsepower available In the United States. Twenty million of this is east of the Mississippi river. The balance (s In the west. In the rivers and streams flowing Into the Pacific ocean, there is to be found 38,000,000 horse power, the balance of the difference between the 20,000,000 and the 66, 618,000 flows from the west into the Mississippi river. Says Monopoly Is Impossible, "If a dam were built at every mile or at every point in the Deschutes river at which a dam could be built, until the full 1,600,000 horsepower were developed, the water ln the stream would not be destroyed. ' After it was used by the first mill, little or big, at the head of the stream it would be passed on down to the next until the entire 100 or more mills and factories or electric power plants were served. There could be no monopoly of the power possible because it would be Impossible for any man or group of men to buy or get control of the entire river. "More than one-third of all the available horsepower in the United States is to be found in the basin of the Columbia river and the Puget sound. There is 24,000,000 horse power here of which only 450,000 Is developed. If the undeveloped pow er should be developed at the rate of 10,000 horsepower per year It would require 2440 years or 500 years more than the period from the Christian era to the present time. If it should he developed at the rate of 100,000 horsepower per year it would require 240 years or eight generations; to de velop the full amount available. And yet men, men who we once consid ered able and reliable, have the au dacity to write in magazines and to declare from public platforms, their belief that there is danger of some one coming here and grabbing up all this waterpower. It Is perfectly ridi culous. I wish they would come out and grab it up. I wish they would come out and help us develop It Help us build dams, erect factories and construct electric roads. We should welcome them with open arms. But instead they have been grabbed by the forestry service. Water Saves Coal. "In the city of Spokane we have developed 75.000 horsepower and If we had not done so it would require annually a million tons of coal to produce the power thus obtained. A million tons of coal taken from the mines, leaves a million tons less than there were before. The coal and wood may some day be consumed but it Is Impossible to consume water power. The rivers of the west ' are flowing toward the sea Just the same as they were a thousand or ten thou sand years ago and Just the same as they will be flowing for ten thousand years to come. It Is impossible to consume the water. The time Is com ing, and It Is not far distant, when the railroads of the country will be run by electricity, not steam. No Tax on Government-Owned Power "If the government owns this wa ter power after it Is developed as well as before It will be Impossible for tho people of the states In which the power sites are located to obtain any returns in tl.e shape of taxes. Indeed. It will not only be Impossime to tax this resource, but the people of the west will be compelled to pay the government a royalty for the priv ilege of developing and using It.. "The water power and other nat ural resources should be turned over to us as under the old plan or It should be turned over to the states and I think that President Taft should not oppose this latter plan. The states have the machinery to control and regulate this thing, but the no tional government has not. Go eminent Does Not Own Water. "But In the first place the govern ment docs not own a single drop of water in any stream in the country- It all belongs to the states and yet the The $10.00 Gold Filled WATCH which I am making a feature of is proving very popular with the young men of the town.

It Is taking revenue for the use of something which does not bes long to It. The government has a right to navigate the streams Just as any person has a right to walk along the streets of a city he does not thereby acquire any right to owner ship therein; neither does the gov ernment acquire any right to own ership In the streams because It has the right to navigate them- The state cannot obstruct navigation, but never, theless it owns the water In all the streams within Its borders. If all the water power should be turned over to the states of the west. the time will come and come sped ily when the manufacturing of the country will be done on the Pacific coast. When that time does come It will be seen that the question of the development of the water power does have a little bearing upon the banking interests of the Pacific coast. STRANGE GOOD FORTUNE, Idaho Lady Gets Millions From For gotten Sweetheart. Coeur d'Alene. To be the benefi ciary of a bequest of three quarters of a fortune of $7,000,000 from a sweetheart of her youth seems to be the good luck that has overtaken Mrs. Dolly Baker, who lives on a small ranch a few miles north of Coeur d'Alene. The bequest was made by Arthur B. Travis, a cattle king of Australia. Mrs. Baker has Just returned from Helena, Mont., where she went to meet R. J. Fillmore, a New Tni-v lawyer, who has the settlement of the iravis estate ln charge. About a month ago Mrs. Baker received a tel egram from his attornev statin? that If she was the party that obtained a divorce from W. J. Grant atHelena In 1890 she waa one of the heirs" that he was looking for. The lawyer had learned of her Io. cation from her brother at Seattle, who had read of his quest in a news paper and had notified him where his sister was located. At the time or receiving the telegram Mrs. Baker had no Idea who her benefactor could be, and all was a complete mystery to her. Engaged In Cattle Business. The attorney stated that Arthur B. Travis, formerly a cattleman In Mon tana, had left the United States 20 years ago and had gone to Australia, where he engaged In the cattle busi ness and amassed a fortune of $7 -000.000. He died there two years ago, and ln his will bequeathed one fourth of his fortunet o his half brother providing that he was found in three years, and three-fourths to the woman who waa divorced at He lena from W. J. Grant ln 1890 and that the entire amount was to go to the woman if his half-brother was not found In the required time. Mrs. Baker proved by her divorce decree that she was the Mrs. Grant, and as only one year yet remains for the discovery of Travis' half-brother, she may obtain the entire $7,000,000. Mrs. Baker says that 28 years ago Arthur B. Travis was a sweetheart of hers ln Montana, and that he evi dently had not forgotten her when he died. R. p. Fillmore, the attorney, has gone to Australia. He stated that he thought he should have no trouble ln having the authorities accept Mrs. Baker as the rightful heir. He will stop here upon his return. Every rational woman should re gard her husband as an axiom. For Rent Furnished house, 301 Thompson. Phone Black 3871. FOR. SALE 1400 acre stock ranch 10 miles from R.
