Indorsement by Temperance Klenient

tests Made Against Marty Can
didates Lawyers After It.
OLYMPIAN iNor. 14. (Special.) Early
this weels Governor Hay will appoint a
successor to Congressman-elect MeCredie.
of Vancouver, as Judge of the Superior
Court. The appointment will probably be
announced Tuesday and will likely fall to
Donald McMasters. of Vancouver, or E.
C. Ward, of Goldendale. They seem to
be the leaders and are the better In
dorsed of the long list of candidates for
the place.
Judjte McOredie's resignation was filed,
awaiting the Governor on his return
from his month's trip Ea and will be
one of the first important matters con
frtdered when the Governor has read the
ma of correspondence which accumu
laled during his absence. Much of this
correspondence deals with the judicial
appointment. Amotg the letters written
here there fc a strong percentage of
protests against some of the candidates.
Many Candidates Opposed.
In fact so many protests have been
f!ld concerning candidates from Cowlitl
County, and so much factional bitterness
has been exposed there that It Is under
stood Cle Governor, in self-defense and
frrm a dere not to handicap the ap
Tointi at the start, has been compelled
to practically eliminate all candidates of
that county from serious consideration
for the place. It was palpable no ap
pointment could be made from that coun-
tv without adding to the already bitter
Inter-party tight.
Those who know Governor Hay and his
position on clean government and moral
questions declare that, in the selection of
a judge, indorsements of the "dry's wjll
have considerable weight. That is one
reason for the prediction that Donald Mc
Masters. of Vancouver, stands a good
chance of landing the plum. He has the
indorsement of the bar of Clark County
and of the "dry" element there and was
president of the local option forces in the
rec?nt campaign. He has also the in
dorsement of ex-Judge A. I Miller, who
had been mentioned for the vacancy but
who declined to become a candidate.
Goldendale May Win It.
In view of the political contention that
dark County, having the new Congress
man, some other county should have the
Judg. there are those who assert the
appointment w ill go to hi c ard, ot
Goldendale. He was a classmate of A.
U Meigs. Speaker of the House. Sir.
Meigs worked loyally with Governor Hay
during the regular and special sessions
and his indorsement of Ward naturally
carries much weight. Ward has been in
dorsed by members of the bar of Klicki
tat County and many other attorneys
who have practiced with him have writ
ten to the Governor urging his appoint
ment. One recommendation is from Mal
colm F. Moody, of The Dalles, son of the
ex-Governor of Oregon, who pays high
tribute 'to Ward as a man anU as a
lawyer.
B. L. Hubbell. ex-Prosecuting Attor
ney of Cowlltx County, also a classmate
of Ward and Meigs, has been Indorsed
by the temperance element of his home
county and by a large number of at
torneys of that section of the district.
His home Is at Kelso.
Many After Place.
H. E. MKinney. of Kelso, who engaged
In the lumber business for some time be
fore recently resuming the practice of
law. has the indorsement of powerful
lumber interests and leading business
men.
Kalama has two candidates in John
F. Dufur and A. A. Imus against both of
whom protests have been made by citi
zens of their own county. The chief
complaint egatnst Imus comes from the
"drys" who declare he has been the
attorney of the saloon element.
George W. Rowan, of Caestle Rock,
has enthusiastic indorsements from citi
zens, generally, of his home town.
George B. O'Brien, Prosecuting Attor
ney of Skamania County, is making an
earnest tight for the place. He has the
Indorsement of the bar of his county and
of many of the leading citizens. A dele
gation from Skamania headed by Rep
resentative Gordon, accompanied O'Brien
to Olympia Saturday to urge his appoint
ment by the Governor.
is officered like a Central American army
with many Generals. These facts ap
pear from the report of the Seattle South
eastern Railway Company for the year
ended June 30. 1909, Just filed with the
Washington Railway Commission.
The company was organized September
13. 1KB. and the directors are W. M. Ladd
and Edward Cookingham, of Portland:
John Bagley. J. G. Dickson and E. M.
Hayden, of Tacoroa. It reports six gen
eral officers, one general office clerk, one
station agent, one fireman, one engineer,
one conductor, one section foreman and
three trackmen. The clerk drew 68 cent
a day salary, as against J2.23 a day for
the trackmen and J2.97 for the conductor.
The engineer worked 41 days during the
year and the fireman worked only 19
days, while the general officers reported
they worked 3 days.
The road is now 4.3 miles long, running
from Kangley to Camp a Junction. Un
der the heading calling for a report of
"important changes during the year" the
company says: "Mileage decreased nine
tenths of a mile by the abandonment of
line from Camp 5 Switch to end of track."
The total cost of the railroad and
equipment to June 30 last is reported at
which includes J4.S2 spent for
right of way and station grounds and $o.50
spent for stationery and printing last
year. The road carried no passengers
and only 32S tons of freight, so Its total
revenues from operations were J34, while
Its operating expenses were C9S5 and its

'WETS' DEPRECATE ACTION
JUDGE RAPS BOOTLEGGERS
Eleven Await Sentence for Selling
Liquor at Tillamook.
TlLiAMOOK. Or.. Nov. 14. (Special.)
A great deal of interest has been taken in
the trial of Joe Ulinpsworth, who waa
charged with violating the local option
law. in the Ctrcuit Court. All the other
bootleggers arrested thus far have plead
ed guilty and are now waiting to be sen
tenced by Judge Burnett.
District Attorney X H. McNary put up
a strong case against Illingsworth, and
the eviaence was so convincing that it did
not take the jury long to bring in a ver
dict of guilty, for some of the jurymen
claim that illingsworth perjured himself
while on the stand. Sheriff Crenshaw has
other warrants for bootleggers who are
known to be in hiding. Eleven bootleg
gers will probably be sentenced on Mon
day by Judge Burnett.

Fire Is Mystery.
BAKER CITY, Or.. Nov. 14. (Spe
cial.) The new 200-barrel flouring mill
in this city. Just completed at a cost
of 140,000, burned to the ground this
afternoon. Considerable wheat was
also burned.. The origin of the fire is a
mystery, as the mill contained no
stoves, and nothing but electric motors
were used for power. There was no
chance for the fire to have originated
from electric wires, because the cur
rent was cut off by an outside switch.
The mill was a local pride, and the
first flouring mill Baker has ever had.
A year ago C. B. Stout and V. W. Stev
ens, of Paola, Ind., came to this city
and agreed to erect a 200-barrel mill if
the city would furnish a millsite. This
was done, and -Mr. Stout and Mr. Stev
ens immediately fulfilled their agree
ment. They erected a first-class mill,
modern in all particulars, and about
ten days ago the first product of the
mill was placed on the market. Only
sufficient insurance to cover half the
loss was carried.

Leaders Sorry It Happened and Dis
avow Responsibility City in
Throes ol Prohibition
Campaign.
WALLA WALLA. Nov. 14. (Special.)
This city is now experiencing the calm
that precedes the storm looked for in
the prohibition fight. The election is
to be held on Monday, December 20. Dur
ing the past week no work in the open
has been done by either the pnihition
i&ts or the liquor element, whil-f the so
called Tax Payers' League, whicli, was
formed about two weeks ago, has not
yet held a meeting to organize.
The Tax Payers' League is comoosed
of representative business men of the
city who. It is understood, will make a
strong fight to keep the saloons- in this
city, although they will require, it Is
understood, certain -restrictions after the
election that are not being enforced now.
The saloon men look at the situation
In a rather helpless manner, according
to Arthur Harris, proprietor of one of
the principal grills in the city. Mr.
Harris takes the stand that a saloon
man would be unable to change one
vote if he were to work from now until
the eve of the election. Mr. Harris said:
'In my opinion it Is up to the business
men of Walla Walla the heavy taxpay
ers who are most interested to take up
this fight and carry it through. If the
35 saloon men in our city should get
out and work, every person would say
we were working for our own interests,
and would, therefore, refuse to listen
to us."
Liquor Men Apathetic.
The liquor men have held only one
meeting and apparently are doing noth
ing to protect their business. A sensa
tion was caused when the saloon men
were credited, by some citizens, with
getting out a small leaflet containing
the names of those who signed the peti
tion praying for the special election. An
investigation revealed, however, that
they had nothing to do with the leaflet,
and later an enterprising printer ad
mitted having gotten the books out ror
commercial purposes only. The toks
sold for 25 cents and found, a ready
market.
Committees of the prohibitionists are
holding meetings as many as three times
a week in the rooms of the Y. M. C. A.,
their headquarters. When asked as to
the nature of business taken up the reply
invariably is, "naming and going over
committees." State Senator D. ii. cox
admitted that, the - "drys" will have a
committee to handle the work in every
precinct in the city, eight in all, and
that the work will be systematic when
the machinery is put in motion. Upon
learning that a well-known merchant
was at the meeting when the Tax Pay
ers' League was first talked of, several
ladies of a church society in the city
decided to boycott him. When asked
about this Senator Cox stated: ,-I heard
as much and immediately set out to find
the truth of the rumor. To a certain
extent it was correct. My next move was
to see the president of the church society,
and upon finding her I had a heart to
heart talk with her. The resul.t was
that the women will not boycott any
person who opposes them in their view,
and should such a thing be done the
leaders of this movement are in no way
to blame and will do all in their power
to avert such a condition of affairs."
Opinion Evenly Divided.
There are as many persons in the
city, apparently, who believe the saloon
will go out of business as there are
who believe the contrary. Conservative
politicians refuse to make an estimate.
A majority of the city employes favor
the saloons, it is said. Councilmen do
not hesitate to say where they stand.
Two are against the saloons and five in
favor, it is understood. Mayor Eugene
Tausick dismissed the subject by saying:
"I own a good bit of property here, and
undoubtedly shall protect my interests."
Registration of voters in the office of
City CleTk Hart indicates that the heav
iest vote ever cast in Walla Walla will
be represented in the special election.
Figures compiled show that 435 voters
have registered since the city election
last July, the total at that time being
2124. The total to date is 2519, though
the books show a total of 2632. This' is
accounted for by the fact that 163 voters
have moved into different precincts and
have been required to requalify.
Many . politicians are of the opinion
that Clark, lewls. Whitman and Steptoe
precincts will go "dry." while Stevens,
Simms. Fremont and Mullan may be de
pended upon to give the liquor men a
safe majority.

Cornerstone of Woodworth
Memorial Laid in Vancouver.
IS NAMED FOR ITS FOUNDER
Young Man Whose Money Made
Building Possible poes Not I4ve
to Witness Completion of
Work He Aided.
VANCOUVER. Wash., Nov. 14. (Spe
cial.) The laying ot the corner stone of
the Guy Woodworth Memorial United
Brethren Church, at the corner of Har
ney and Seventeenth streets, was cele
brated with- appropriate exercises thi
afternoon at 3 o'clock. Bishop William
Bell, of the United Brethren Church, of
Los Angeles, assisted by Hev. J. T. Mer
rill, pastor of the church, conducted the
services. After the ceremony at the
corner stone, the large crowd present
went into the basement of the church,
where Bishop BeM delivered an address.
This is the second corner 6tone to be
laid in Vancouver. The comer stone of
St. Joseph's hospital was laid at the
same hour last Sunday. ,
Besides Bishop Bell were present to
day: Rev. Mr. Showers, Rev. A. C.
Shaver and Rev. B. E. Emerick. of Port
larl; Rev. Mr. Garrett, of Manor, sev
eral United Brethren members from the
state of Washington and Vancouver
clergymen.
In the corner stone, which is of marble,
were placed a short history of the church,
a photograph of Guy Wroodworth, in
whose honor it will be named, a photo
graph of bishop Bell, and one of Rev.
J. T. Merrill; a Bible, the discipline of
the church, and a few other articles.
On the slab of granite which covers the
stone are carved the words, and gilt
with gold leaf, "Guy Woodworth Me
morial United Brethren Church."
Guv Woodworth, who made the church
possible, was 17 years old. a riersonal
friend of Rev. J. T. Merrill. He died
about two months ago Tn Hood River.
Or., but before his 1eath he left several
thousand dollars to be expended as Rev.
Mr. Merrill saw fit. The pastor decided
that a memorial church in Vancouver
should be erected. The basement and
first floor have been completed and are
ready for occupancy.
The Guy W7oodworth Memorial United
Brethren Church is at the northeast cor
ner of Harney and Seventeenth streets.
When completed it will have cost at
least $12,000. The lower floor will in
clude the basement, and here will be
the Sunday School, banquet ball and
kitchen. It will be turned over to the
young people of the church and the
church societies, after the main floor is
completed. The building is 40x60 feet
in size. Half of the side of the building
will be windows, affording exceptional
lighting. The floor is sloping.
In the Spring the work of . completing
the church will begin, but during the
Winter months the congregation will use
the basement, which was practically com
pleted today. The church will be heated
by a furnace, and the chimney, which if
already completed, is built independent
from the main building. The structure
is bein- built of concrete hlorks.
SURELY HE IS
DOING GOOD
W". H. Lippincott, the mining man
of 801 Machesney Building. Pittsburg,
Pa., writes as follows: "I have about
forty patients on the compound and
they all say that they are getting well.
Five of these buy by the case and some
are on the second and third case. It
makes me feel good to hear the way
they talk not one bad report so far."
Let us go back a little Lippincott
had Diabetes and was led to Relieve
that he was incurable, but he was put
in the way of a treatment that,, to his
astonishment and intense gratification,
made a complete recovery. He there
upon asked for the local agency for
the specific that had done so much for
him. He obtained it and the above is
one of his reports as to the good he
is doing among his friends.
Please bear in mind that the forty
patients above referred - to all have
either Bright's Disease or Diabetes
and that they are tnerefore' rated as
incurable by the books, but that
KVERY ONE of them finds his case
yielding
We will be frank and say that we
have 13 of failures and that we fear
our good, friend Lippincott i over-enthusiastic
in his belief that every one
of these forty patients will recover.
But that nearly nine-tenths of them
will is almost a certainty, and it is
equally certain that on the orthodox
treatment all of them would sooner
or later fall before the reaper. This is
glorious work, giving hope and helping
people who are without hope from any
other source in the world.
