WINS WITH EASE
Campbell Triumphs In
Tacoma Primaries.
FAWGETT BEATEN 2 TO I
Republicans Will Nominate
PresenVMayor Third Time.
WRIGHT WILL BE OPPONENT
With the Aid of the Saloon Element
and Disaffected Republicans the
Democrats Have a "Chance to
Elect Their Candidates.
TACOMA, -Wash., March 10. (Special.)
-Mayor Louis D. Campbell will be re
nominated by Saturday's Republican con
vention for the office of Mayor. He won
out today over A. V. Fawcett In the Re
publican primaries that were the most
closely contested since the city was In
corporated. He beat the former Demo
cratic Mayor two to one.
A close analysis of the vote shows
Campbell beat Fawcett In all save the
wards controlled by the liberal element.
Fawcett carried every precinct along Pa
cific avenue, Tacoma's main thorough
fare, and picked up his extra votes in
stray precincts. The liberal element that
has fought Campbell for a year went sol
idly against him today. The total vote
cast is fully 60 per cent of the registra
tion. Up to this morning S400 persons had
qualified for the election and nearly 6000
of these went to the primaries. This is
Indicative of the great Interest taken.
Campbell Believes He Can Win.
Campbell tonight Is enthusiastic over
the result of the primaries and claims his
election by 1500 plurality. He -insists he
overcame the opposition of dissatisfied
Republicans and the Democrats who still
follow Fawcett.
Fawcett, who was a Democrat Mayor
during the years 1S94-9G, became a Re
publican In 190L He was brought out as
n Republican candidate for Mayor by the
Foster forces after Ed Hamilton, who an
nounced himself as a candidate for United
States Senator, had Indorsed Campbell.
After Hamilton's death the Foster sup
port stayed with Fawcett and was with
him, so far as the Foster leaders could
direct today.
In addition Fawcett had the support
of the saloon men. During his adminis
tration he was most liberal In his treat
ment of the sporting men, and put away
the general plan of fining this element
monthly. Campbell pursued the fining
until the Legislature passed the gambling
felony bill,' and then closed the town.
This Is largely responsible for Fawcett's
popularity In the down-town districts.
Councllmen In Doubt.
Charles D. Atkins will be renominated
by the Republican convention for City
treasurer, and L. G. Jackson will be
named for City Controller. The Councll
tnanic fights are largely obscured by the
contest over the Mayoralty. They will
have to be solved by piecing together the
factional delegations elected from the
different wards.
Tho most Important Councllmanic fights
were In the Third and Eighth "Wards. In
Ihe Third. Fawcett carried the ward and
Tvill bo able to defeat the renomlnatlon
of Ren Olson, a loyal Campbell man. In
the Eighth the Campbell faction pre
vented the renomlnatlon of W. H.
Hamond, who was successful two and
four years ago against Campbell.
This Is the third time Campbell has
asked for the nomination of Mayor. He
was a possible candidate on previous oc
casions, but could not appear strong
enough to go before the convention. Both
two years ago and at the present time
he has been opposed by the Influential
Tacoma dally newspapers and has con
ducted a piecemeal campaign, without
much regard to the effect of organization
or general reports against him. For
weeks he has been stumping the city
telling his version of municipal affairs,
while the city papers have fought him.
He has had to carry the load of an un
popular police and public works depart
ment, and succeeded both times.
Democrats Will Name Wright.
The Democratic municipal convention
will meet tomorrow to name a general
ticket. There Is no question of the nom
ination of George P. Wright, ex-Grain In
spector, for Mayor Wright is a conserva
tive and a prominent Democrat. He Is
probably the best man the Democrats
could select to lead the fight against
Campbell. The remainder of the Demo
cratic ticket, except the Councilman
from the Fourth Word, where Otto Deu
vei will probably be renominated, Is in
consequential, for the Republican ticket,
outside fit the Mayor and the single Coun
cllmen, Is likely to triumph.
A close friend of Campbell said tonight
.that his election would make no change
in the Fall political line-up. Campbell's
administration will give a perfunctory
support to Foster irt his fight for re
nomlnatlon, and will be opposed to the
renomlnatlon of Governor Henry Mc
Bride. From personal talks with Camp
bell -during the past a conclusion Is
reached that this estimate Is correct

HEINZE OUT ON PAROLE.
Judge Beatty Will Pass on His Case
and That of Superintendents.
BUTTE, Mont, March 10. F. Augustus
Helnze. president- of the, Montana Ore
Purchasing Company; Superintendent
Trerise, of the Rarus mine, and Super
intendent Frank, of the Johnstown,
Helnze property, were arraigned" in the
Federal Court before Judge- Knowles this
morning on the charge of having "refused
admittance to Federal Inspectors sent to
the Rarus mine yesterday to learn
whether, as is charged by the Butte &
Boston Company, the Helnze miners are
stealing ore from the Michael Devltt
mine.
Judge McHatton, for Helnze. claimed
that tho defendants had not violated the
order of Inspection, In that the portion
of the Rarus the Inspectors sought to en
ter was not Included In the order of in
spection. Attorney Forbls, for the Bos
ton & Montana, claimed that the de
fendants have violated the order of In
spection, and that therefore they should
be Jailed, under the order recently made
by Judge Beatty sitting here for Judge
Knowles, who ordered the Rarus thrown
open for Inspection and Imposed condi
tional fines on Helnze, Frank and Trerise
for Interfering with the Inspectors. 4
After hearing the pleas. Judge Knowles
decided that the order of Inspection cov
ered every part of the Rarus, but that
the inspectors must confine their op
erations actually to the purpose of their
appointment. He declined to pass on
the charge that the Beatty order was
violated or to admit that the conditional
fines must now be paid, saying he would
leave that to be passed on by Judge Beat
ty himself, who will be called here for
that purpose.
Meanwhile Helnze, Frank and Trerise
are under technical arrest, but paroled.
WEISER RIVER IS RECEDING.
Damage Caused by High Water is
Made Apparent.
WEISER, Idaho. March 10. (Special.)
The high water In the Welser River Is
receding, the cold weather of last hlght
and today causing It to go down. The
damage that has been done In the vicin
ity of tho city Is becoming apparent.
Fences are washed away, slaughter
houses and the corrals surrounding
wiped out of existence. Ice houses and
their contents swept away by the raging
stream and many cattle and horses and
sheep drowned. Many families .are com
pelled to move out of their houses.
Every small bridge on the Welser
River above the city has been swept
away. Sixty feet of the approach to the
steel wagon bridge over the Welser has
been washed away. One of tho ap
proaches to the bridge at Mldvale has
beeen washed out and the bridge stands
in the middle of the stream.
The Pacific & Idaho Northern passen
ger train that went to Council Tuesday
has not yet returned. Mail Is being
carried on a handcar to the break In the
track and Is then transferred. No pas
sengers are being carried. A work train
is filling up the breaks as rapidly as pos
sible and It Is hoped to have tho line
opened by tomorrow.
At one point in Weiser Canyon the
grade was "washed out for a distance of
250 feet" and the ties and rails have slid
into tho river.
Boys Rob Postoffice Boxes.
SEATTLE, Wash., March 10. Four
schoolboys, Peter Unstrip, Emll Thorson,
Wesley Case and Arthur McAllister, none
of whom Is more than 12 years old, con
fessed yesterday to Postofllce Inspectors
W. A. Wayland and C. B. Lynn that they
had been carylng on a systematic robbery
of the lock postofllce boxes In the Bal
lard postoffice. They said that for more
than three months they had looted boxes
In the office. In all they said they had
broken Into at least 20 boxes, some In
that number several times. They ad
mitted that they got into the boxes by
standing close to them when the renters
opened them and thereby they learned the
combinations. Other times they said they
found the boxes unlocked.
Hogs Poisoned by Swill.
ALBANY, Or., March 10. (Special.)
Several head of hogs owned by G. A.
Hammond, who Is operating the place
of Peter Riley, east of Albany, were
killed by poison yesterday. Mr. Ham
mond has been hauling swill from -town
to fatten his hogs with. The swill Is
gathered from all parts of the city, and
It is difficult to determine whore tho
poison was obtained. It is presumed
to be some of the poison that was put
out for the dogs.

SALEM? .March -9. (Special.) One of
the most Important tasks of the State
Land Board fn carrying out the provi
sions of the arid-land daw remains to be
performed' In the adoption of rules and
regulations governing the distribution of
water. The board hag been asked by,
the .Three Sisters. Irrigation Company to
adopt rules .to bo observed by settlers
Dr. J. W. Donnelly.
who take land reclaimed by that com
pahy fa Its 27,000-acre tract.
The principal features of the rules are
those pertaining to the quantity of water
to oe supplied, the time when it is to bo
furnished, time of payment therefor by
the settler, method of measurement,
place of delivery of water.' method of
enforcing payment, and- diminution of
compensation If the water T)o not sup
plied in full quantity. These matters are
of great importance to settlers and the
members of the board desire to make the
rules . fair and equitable as between the
settler and the company.
According to law, the rules and refla
tions are to be made by tho company,
but must be approved by the State, Land
Board. The Three Sisters Company sub
mitted rules yesterday and asked the
Board to adopt the same.
No Hasty Action! '
"We'll have to take this matter under
consideration' remarked State Treas
urer Moore, who comes from an. Irriga
tion region and knows the many vexa
tious questions that are likely to arise.
'This is too Important to be acted
upon hastily," he continued. "The Board
is acting as a sort of buffer between the
irrigation company and tho settler, and
we must be satisfied that the rules are
entirely reasonable before we adopt
them."
This view met the approval of the other
members of the board and action was
deferred. The rules drawn up by the Three Sis
ters Irrigation Company are In the form
of an agreement that must be signed by
the settler when he applies for arid land.
It Is probable that the Board will change
the form, so as to make them read In
the third person and binding upon the
company the same as upon the settler.
They will be in tho form of rules rather
than an agreement, leaving the settler
to make only an agreement to observe
the rules, without setting them out In
his application.
There are a number of provisions In the
rules submitted by the committee which
Individual members of the Board do not
approve. These have, not been consid
ered or discussed by the board, but will
be gone over carefully before final action
Is taken.
Expressions of Opinion Wanted.
In order that everyone who Is Interested
in the matter may have an opportunity
to be heard before tho rules are adopt
ed, the Board has permitted the proposed
rules to be published, so that they may
be known. Tho 'Board will be greatly
pleased to have any person who Is famil
iar with irrigation problems, or who is
interested In the matter, offer any sug
gestions upon tho subject. If the rules
proposed contain anything unreasonable,
or omit anything that should be Incor
porated, the Board will be glad to recelvn
opinions relative thereto. .As the irriga
tion company Is anxious to havo early
action taken, those who have sugges
tions to offer should wr'lt.e "to the State
Land Board at once. The rules proposed
are as follows:
"The following Is to be Incorporated
in the application for lands under the
so-called 'Carey act,' and also ' In the
deed to be given by the state applicants
who procure relinquishment ' of ' Hen
granted by the state under said 'Carey
act.'

DIVER'S ATTENDANTS CLEARED
Clogged Air-Valve In Helmet May
Have Caused Death.
ASTORIA. Or., . Alarch ID. (Special.)
The Coroner's jury appointed to investi
gate the circumstances surrounding the
death of Arthur .Norton, the diver who.
was killed yesterday afternoon by suffoca
tion, returned a verdict this evening that
the man's death was accidental and ex
onerated every one from blame. The jury
also found that tho- man's correct name
was Arthur William Northern, although
he was -known here as Norton.
The testimony showed that while the
pump and air hose were In good order,
the escape valve at the -rear of the helmet
was slightly out of repair and it may
have become clogged, causing the air
pressure to become so great that death
resulted. No word has as yet been received
from the man's relatives and-his funeral
will be held tomorrow morning with the
interment in Greenwood Cemetery.
GRIFFITH IS GIVEN THE LIMIT
Judge Scores Los Angeles Capitalist
for Assault on His Wife.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 10. Colo
nel William Griffith, the Lo3 Angelas
capitalist who, in September last, 1903,
shot his wife, in the eye with a revolver
at the Hotel Arcadia, In Santa Monica,
and who -was found guilty of assault with
a deadly weapon by a jury in the Super
ior Court last week, was today sentenced
to two years' imprisonment in San
Quentin and to pay a fine of ?5000. The
sentence imposed is the extreme penalty.
In sentencing Griffith, Judge Smith
characterized the assault without reason
or excuse. Griffith took his sentence
