M'BRIDPS SHREWD MOVE J. T. MILLS. TO BE HEAD OR WASH. IXGTOX REFORM SCHOOL. Appointment of the Popular Thurs ton CoBBty Sheriff Will Beac&t the Governor Politically. , OLTMPIA Wash.. June 5. (Special.) Sheriff Jesse T. Mills will tomorrow ten der his resignation to the County Commis sioners, to take effect on July 1. His res ignation is tendered In order that he may accept a position with the state The foregoing Information leaked out In this city this afternoon, and although no definite announcement has been made other than the above. It la considered a certainty that the position which Mr. Mills will fill Is that of superintendent at the State Reform School. ,gor some reason the news that the resignation of Thomas P. Westendorf, who for 12 years has been superintendent at the school, had been placed In the hands of the board of control, was kept a secret at the Gov ernor's office, and also at tha office of the board. The same attempted secrecy prevails as to. the appointment of Mr. Westendorfe successor. Mr. Westendorfs resignation was not heard of here outside of the two Harvey B. Densmore, University of Oregon. offices mentioned until Mr. Westendorf gave It out himself In Chehalls. Today Governor McBrlde declined to discuss the resignation In any of Its phases, and "Deep Creek" Jones, the only member of the board here, also refused to make any statement. The news of Sheriff Mills' new move has create!! a profound sensation In local political circles. Mr. Mills is a native of Thurston County, and his popularity was shown at the lastelection, when he led the ticket. While the enemy of none, he has, nevertheless, been considered in the Scobey-Madge faction, which Is opposed to the Governor's Ideas on the railroad ques tion. Governor McBrlde is known to have long wished for the support of Thurston County, and political leaders here consid er that he has made a shrewd move in pulling Mills over to his side. Mrs. Mills will become matron at tne school. Three men arc already after the Sheriff's old Job. They are Deputy Sheriff John McClellan. Councilman Claud Wes ton and Chief of Police Faylor. It is be iimvxI that Mills will' be able to name his successor, and It Is thought that he will favor Weston. TO FLOAT LOGS IX YAKIMA. Lumber Company Increases Its Capi tal Stock. NORTH TAKIMA. Wash..

Eastham has announced that he has been authorized by the Controller of the Currency to declare a dividend of 10 per cent to depositors of the First Na tional Bank of Vancouver, which sus pended in May. 1901. The dividend, which will be ready for payment In about 30 days, will complete the 100 per cent due depositors, three former dividends of E0. 25 and 15 per cent, respectively, having been paid. The resources of the bank, however, are not entirely exhausted, and another small dividend will probably be declared about the time of winding up the affairs of the defunct bank, which will go to ward paying the interest on deposits since the failure of the bank.

A number of commitments have been made since then, but not until now has any County Judge found relatives who are able to pay 510 a month toward the support of the patient. The commitment filed today was, that of Frank C Allen, of The Dalles. He is 2S years of age. and a Taorphlne field- The County Judge made a, finding to the- ef fect that his mother, who lives at Spo kane, is able to pay 510 a month for his support, and a decree was, made that such payment be made as required by law. The Secretary of State will certify to the State Treasurer the fact that this decree has been entered. The money is payable on the 1st of July and the 1st of January of each year, and if not paid. It Is made the' duty' of the state Treasurer to ceruiy uie aeimiiuem.-j to the Prosecuting Attorney in the district In which the commitment was made. The Prosecuting- Attorney is required to bring suit to collect the amount due.

His de fense was of such a character as to con vince, it Is said, the officers that incar ceration under the sentence of the first trial would be an act of injustice and he has, therefore, remained at liberty to this day.

HU3IPHREY, THE OBLITERATED. Already He Has Made Himself Per sona Xon Grata. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, June 2. It has been a long time since a new member of Congress has so completed obliterated himself as has th Hon. William E. Humphrey, of Seattle. Humphrey has not taken his seat in the House, yet he has greatly discounted his Influence In Washington, and from recent reports seems to have digged his own political grave at home. Most new members of Congress are prone to take themselves too seriously. This is a common fault: but most men. especially men of character Vand ability, soon get over this newness, and settle down to realize their true worth. Humphrey, however, does not seem In clined to settle down. Nor does he grow any wiser. - Judging from his correspond ence with the departments at Washing ton, he is assuming responsibility for the entire Congressional delegation, and has been bestowed with all the power here tofore divided among the Senators and members. A very high official in the Navy De partment was speaking of Humphrey the other day, in connection with things he wanted done at the Puget Sound Navy yard, and from his remarks one cannot but conclude that the Humphrey cor respondence. If It could be made public. would make good Sunday reading. This official said: "Humphrey takes himself too seriously. He has not been a Congressman long enough to realize what a small office he holds. He Is like lots of other new men who enter the National legislature; he thinks a member of Congress is as big a man in Washington as he is at home. but unlike most of the others he doesn't seem willing to learn the truth. "Since he was elected, last Fall, my department has had a great many com munications from .the gentleman from Seattle. He wants things for the Puget Sound Navy-yard, but ho never asks for them. He Invariably 'demands' that this or that thing be done. Many times his demands are unreasonable, and at such times he Is politely advised that his wishes cannot be complied with. "Only the- other day," continued this official, "we had a letter from Mr, Humphrey demanding that a certain thine be done at the navy-yara. we could not see the matter In that light. and so advised the young Congressman. To our surnrlse (and I must confess, to our amusement), we had a reply saying tha't If we would not do this thing on his demand, he would force us to do It. "We. of course, attribute these man nerisms to Mr. Humphrey's newness. No member of several years' service would everlastingly demand things. That is ail demand amounts to. anyway, but tne demand lacks the dignity and civility of a recommendation. Possibly. In time the new member from Washington will he come more politic, and when he coes ne will become more successful. Attention was also called to the fact that Humphrey and Jones very often set themselves at odds In making uemanus fhr thrir state. When one "demands i certain thing, the other follows, imme dintlv with a counter-demana, witn result that nothing Is done. Cusjiman is more dinlomatlc. rnmnarM to the present Washington delegation, the old delegation from Ore gon was harmony ltseu; WATCHED THE BALLOON GO UP. Tinllns Carnival Attraction Tlcases a Large Crowd. DALLAS. Or.. June 5. (Special.) The third day of the Dallas carnival and street fair came to a very successful termination this evening at 11. Tho largest crowd that has vet attended was here today. conservative estimates averaging the crowd at 4300 persons. The people com menced to arrive early and by 10 o'clock tho streets were thronged with the sight seers. The first thing on the day's programme was a balloon- ascension and parachute jump. Frank Miller, balloonist, made one of the finest ascensions ever known in tho etate. The balloon reached a height of 2500 feet, and Miller looked about as big as a clothespin. At the highest point the ballonist cut local his paracnute ana after falling some distance the parachute opened and he slowly glided back to earth, After the balloon ascension the crowd put in tho rest of the day looking at the many attractions furnished by the carnival management. One very noticeable feature of Ihe fair so far is the absence of the usual tough element that is usually In attendance at such affairs. No arrests have been made and it is likely none will be. Tomorrow is Pioneer day and it Is ex pected that the largest crowd for any one day will be here at that time. ELECT! OX AT SECRET MEETIXG. Salt Trust Stockholders Were Xot All Informed. SAN FRANCISCO, June 5.Judge Sew ell has handed down a decision granting the plaintiffs. H. C Coward, William J. Dingee, William G. Henshaw and Oscar L. Weber, a new trial In their suit against George D. Squires and others, brought for the purpose of declaring void the al leged election of the defendants as direct ors of the Continental Salt & Chemical Company. Judge Sewell holds that George D Squires, the secretary of the corporation, concealed from plaintiffs, Coward and others, the fact that a meeting of stock holders was to have been held on June 2, and that for that reason the election held on that day, by virtue of which the defendants claim to have been elected di rectors, is void, and that a new trial would be granted.
