LOCAL OPTION BILL FIGHT Both Mead and Cosgrove Known to Favor Local Option Law for State. Race Track Gambling Bill Will Cause Discussion, OLYMPIA. Wash., Jan. 6. (Special.) The 11th biennial session of the Washing ton Legislature, which convenes In this city next Monday promises to be a marked exception to those usually held when a United State Senator la to be elected. The possibility of any attempt to defeat Congressman Wesley L. Jones, of North Yakima, for Senator la not seriously dis cussed, and Indications point to his elec tion on the first ballot In accordance with the vote In the primary election of last September. There are but nine Democrats In the Legislature out of 137 members and these will cast their votes for George F. Cot tenll, of Seattle, who Is himself one of the nine, and a member of the State Sen ate. Local Option Bill Fight. As now Indicated, probably the most In terest will center on tho passage of a local option bill. The Republican state convention held In Spokane last Summer to nominate delegates to the National convention and select Presidential elec tors, adopted in Its platform a local option plank. Governor Mead, in his re tiring message Is expected to urge strong ly the adoption of such a statute, while Governor-elect Cosgrove Is In hearty sym pathy with the local option movement The principal effort of those opposed to local option will be to prevent the passage of an act that will give temper ance, advocates an undue advantage In the elections held under the provisions of the law. The radical local option ad vocates will strive for the enactment of a law that will provide for voting on the liquor question at elections In which no other issues are Involved. Their bill will also provide that when a county decides to hold an election on the ques tion, those precincts that vote "dry" shall become "dry," no matter how the majority votes In the entire county; but If the entire county votes "dry," the pre cincts that have gone "wet" must abol ish the saloons also. The advantage thus given the local option advocates will be strongly opposed by the saloon interests. Race Track Law Expected. The passage or rejection of a law mak ing trace-track gambling a felony will also be an Important feature of the ses sion. Representative Ole Hanson, of King County, has had a bill prepared on the subject and has started a vigor ous campaign among the members for Its adoption. Governor Mend is pledged to urge the enactment of raco-track gambling laws. . . , The Washington Equal Suffrage Asso ciation will have a number of representa tives hero during the entire session. The association has engaged headquarters at one of the leading hotels and has also secured apartments In one of the large residences near the Capitol, where visit ing suffragists will be entertained. A bill providing for a constitutional amend ment permitting the passage of equal eufTrage laws is in process of prepara tion. During the session. It is planned by the association to take a census of the voters of Olympia to determine their views on the subject of equal suffrage. They expect much Indorsement.- Court of Appeals Wanted. The leading members of the bar of the state will urge the creation of a state district Court of Appeals, whlah will re lieve the Supreme Court of some of Its rapidl increasing burdens. The prepara tion of the bill Is In the hands of C Will Shaffer, secretary of the State Bar As sociation. It will provide for three dis tricts, two in Western Washington and one in Kastern Washington, each of which will have two regular Judges, the third to be a Superior Court or Supreme Court Justice, sitting as convenience will permit. The creation of such a tourt must be authorized by constitutional amendment. The State Tax Commission will again urge the submission of a constitutional amendment permitting the divorcing of state and local taxation. Such an amendment was defeated in the elec tion In November. Numerous attempts to revise, restrict or enlarge the duties of the existing commission are likely. An effort will probably be made to turn the Railroad Commission Into a public-service cor poration similar to that existing in New York. Assessor Harry Itailsback, of Pierce County, Is organizing a movement to limit the powers ftf the Tax Commission in valuing railroad property for taxation purposes. The Tax Commission exercised its authority In that particular In 1908 for the first time, and the Pierce County Assessor says his county was treated unfairly. Would Abolish Tax Cornmlssion. From another source will come a bill to abolish the Tax Commission and cre ate a Tax Commissioner with power to, employ deputies. Governor Mead will recommend, as heretofore announced v... v. n i o onA.mnn hoard of control in- stead of the commission of three mem bers which now manages tne nnanciai affairs of all the state institutions. It is now believed that there will be two legislative Investigations. One will probe the Root-Gordon scandal, which resulted in the resignation of Justice Mllo A. Root from the Supreme bench a few weeks ago. The other will go into the affairs of the Insur ance Commissioner. The latter Inves tigation is suggested by J. H. Schive ly. Insurance Commissioner-elect and the deputy commissioner at present In charge of the office under Secretary of State S. H. Nichols. Mr. Schlvely sug gests this Investigation In his annual report because of rumors that were started during the primary election campaign concerning his actions In office.

Meigs, of North Yakima, whom 62 members of the House have agreed by written pledge to support for Speaker, is expected tomorrow and will go on to Olvmpia Friday. Thought Meigs' election is generally conceded, there Is still an undercurrent working In the Interest ot J. w. aiayaen. of Pierce County, or some man whom Slayden's managers may pick. It has been declared thnt Slayden will attempt to make a delivery to some King County man In an effort to defeat Meigs. Four teen King County members are pledged to Meigs. ' There has been little done In regard to the presidency pro tem of the Senate, as all the members expect A. 8. Ruth, of Olympia, to ask for a re-election. Ruth outran its all other members In point of service. I.OKTON TO SUCCEED DAVIS Will Be Named as Member of State Board of Control. OLYMPIA, Wash.. Jan. 6. (Special.)

The ap pointment of Mr. Lorton is one of those that Governor Mead has heretofore ac knowledged will be made in accordance with the expressed wishes of Mr. Cos grove, Mr. Lorton expect to take the place on the Board now filled by James H. Davis, of T acorn a. Mr. Davis Is pre paring to go into business In Tacoma and Is anxious to be relieved of the work of the Board. Mr. Lorton said to day that If Mr. Davis, who is now In Walla Walla, desires It, the change will be made next Monday, but It may be de layed until Governor-elect Cosgroves ar rival. Howard Q. Cosgrove. who expects to be his father's secretary, returned to Olympia today and will remain here In definitely. Both Mr. Lorton and Mr. Cosgrove say that relations between them and Governor Mead and Lieutenant-Governor Hay are most friendly. STORM NUT CAUSE FIGHTS BELLTXGHAM WANTS TO LET WATER FAUCETS RUNT. Threats of Violence Made If Water Superintendent Tries to Enforce City Ordinance. BEXJ-.INGHAM, Wash., Jan. . (Spe cial.) Because Belllngham is not built for cold weather and all water pipes are therefore unprotected, householders here have started a hot feud with the city water department by letting their faucets run full blast day and night to prevent the pipes freezing. This, Water Superintendent Blakeslee Insists, Is In direct violation of the city ordinance, and he threatens to take drastic measures to stop It. The citizens, on the other hand refuse absolutely to obey the ordinance. Sev eral have already been hurt by the ex plosion of stoves whose water pipes had frozen, numberless ears have been nipped by frost while heads of families strug gled with frozen pipes In the back yards, and the tempers of a great many have been worn so fragile that they have oiled up their light artillery and threaten to shoot any employe of the Water De partment who tries to prevent their let ting the faucets run. Bloodshed seems by no means Improb able, and unless the superintendent calls In the help of the police It Is expected that he will have to withdraw his ulti matum. The thermometer dropped to zero to night and there is much suffering. Police and charity workers are busy caring for the homeless and destitute.

An average tax of 6 1 mills has been levied during ,1908 and Ave new districts have been added. The school tax represents three-fourths of the total assessed valuation of Wasco County.

McMurray General Passenger Agent Portland, Oregon HEYBUi GOES BACK Finds All Favorable and Will Return to Washington. SAYS HE HAD NO FEARS Insurgent Movement Promoted by Members of Third House and Not by Members of legisla ture, He Declares. BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 8. (Special.) Aroused to action by the temerity of friends who believed they saw defeat In the confusion of maneuvers directed against him. Senator Heyburn arrived In Boise today only to determine, after a brief review of tho political situation, to return to Washington at once. With a pronounced expression or con onno In the Legislators upon whom his fate depends and mingled sarcasm and ridicule for those who have attempted to oppose his re-election, he aiscussea me trend of events which during the last week cast a cloud upon his Senatorial horizon.

"I came to Boise." he continued, "be cauce of the urgent demands of my friends. When they flret Insisted, I de clined, because my attention was demand ed by matters of considerable Importance In Washington, and I notified them to that effect. It seemed almost Impossible at that time to leave. But later, when their requests became more numerous and conditions seemed more favorable to my absence, I acquiesced, merely, how ever, because my friends have done many things for me. and I could not nor did I wash to disregard them. Third House Folks Disgruntled. "The statement, that my coming was ac tuated by any fear Is preposterous. The criticism which some attach to It does not In any sense reflect upon me, but does upon those who make it. The lack of dignity Is on the part of those who etoop to such methods. There was never at any time an Insurgent movement against me among the legislators them selves. It was conceived and agitated wholly among those who compose a dis gruntled element In the third house." Charge Against Indian. ROSEBURG, Or., Jan. 6. (Special.)

He recovered and the Conference in 1904 gave him a charge. He never felt better, although he has very heavy work and does a great deal of camp meeting work. I am so glad we took your advice and gave him the medicine, and feel that I ought to let you know of the wonder ful good results from its use." MRS. ,T. S. EDWARDS, Milner, Ga.

Unlimited Personal Liability HISTORY OF A FAHWBREMEDY ITS SUCCESS DUE TO I.IEEIT ALONE. Its Growth from the Start Was Simply Duo to the Fact That It Would Invariably Effect a Cure. Every industry has its pioneer days arii it is during these struggling times that it worth and merit are tested. The early his tory of Chamberlain 's Cough Keuiedy show that, except in point of merit, it had no more hope of success than other similar preparations, which we started at about the same time, but were never known outsina of their own locality and have Ioiik sinre ceased to be manufactured. Slep by stf p each successive year as its superior excelleuce becomes more widely known it hns been gradually gaining in favor. Taken first, pcrhsps, on trial by Borne family, who fouud it good, it was recommended by them to neighbor; they in turn passed it on to other friends and for over thirty-five years its rep utation has in this manner been spreading until it has reached the utmost corners of the earth, pcience and advanced medical authority during all this time have failed to produce a better remedy for coughs, cold and croup, and today Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy is enjoying the largest sale of any similar preparation on the market. This success can be attributed to no other cauh than its sterling worth. No matter how much prominence an article may receivo through the medium of advertif ing, it must be trustworthy to hold the confidence of the public In thousands of homes this remedy is the main reliance of parents in attacks of croup.
