This evening the last pound of wool

ed Into the ground by White when
other parties latiifered and stopped
the affair. However, no arrest was
made at the time, and White Is said
to have gotten out of town.
This morning complaint was made
before Acting District Attorney John
McCourt and the matter was taken
op by that official. It Is probable
that White will be brought before
the Justice's court when he again re
turns to town.
In the view of Attorney McCourt
there is little doubt but that the
state law forbidding the sale of liquor
to Indians will be upheld when the
two cases now on the docket are tried
this fall. Also, there are strong
chances that there will be several
others Hide from PlfJ Llvermore and
Dave Carlln to answer before Judge
Ellis this fall, for It Is said
forts will be made to put a stop to
the practice.
It Is probable thnt no councilman
will be appointed to tnke the place
recently vacated by Walter Wells,
when he resigned a couple of months
ago. Mayor Matlock has now been
buck from Alaska for some time and
has been present at several meetings
of the council, but at none of them
has he broached the subject of the
appointment of the eighth member ef
Hint body. This morning, when ask
ed regarding his Intentions In trie
matter, he said that owing to the
short time which the new appointee
would have to serve he hardly con
sidered an appointment necessary
and might let the matter go until the
next city election. The term which
Wells was serving will expire on De
cember St. and consequently the new
man could hold his sent only for a
few months. During that time he
could count for little upon' any Im
portant question that might come be
fore the council, as those now In that
body work together almost as a unit
under the direction of their leaders.
Consequently, it Is generally regarded
thnt the position of the new man,
should one be appointed, would not
be enviable, because of the fact that
he could do nothing and would be
an official In name more than any
thing else.
Another reason why the mayor Is
hesitating with th appointment Is
because he Is aware that any appoint
ment which he might make would be
unsatisfactory to one or the other of
the two forces created by the recent
saloon fight.
When the present municipal term
ends on December 31, the terms of
four members of the present council
and also of the mayor will expire.
The councllmen to go out are Messrs.
Dickson, Sewell und Johnson, while
the fourth vacancy will be that caus
ed by the Wells' resignation. Those
remaining in the council will be
MessrB. Swearlngen, Murphy, Fergu
son -and Renn. Thus when the new
councllmen have been elected there
will be four old and four new mem
bers, unless some of those now In of
fice be re-elected. In view' of this
chance for an equal division In the
council the character and policy of
the new mayor will be of unusual Im
portance, for he will be virtually the
ruling power.
Opulent Lo.
When drunken Indians, as well as
other prisoners are locked In the city
Jail they are searched for effects, and
as a rule those of an Indian consist
of a knife, about 36 cents and a pint
bottle. However, one thrown In last
night was better supplied than his
brethren and yielded two pocket
knives, a fish hook, a corkscrew and
a quart bottle of whiskey.

the first of the week from Pro(, W '

canvass of this section of the state In
the Interest of the Pendleton acade

Mr. McGllllvary is giving his special
attention. We notice from the cata

school has quite an extended course
of study and Is to all appearances
well qualified to be considered by
those who desire to attend a prepar

SelMtol Board Also Discusses Progress
of Work on Buildings.
At a meeting of the school board,
held last evening the resignations of
Miss Pearl Wills und Miss Anna Lin
gen folter-as teachers for the coming
year were read and accepted. As yet
no teachers have been chosen to fill
the vacancies caused by the two res
ignations; however, such will be done
before the opening of school.
Aside from the above matter the
state of the work upon the new
school buildings was discussed at
length, Both Superintendent Traver
and Architect Troutman, who !e in
charge of the work on the buildings,
were present and discussed the sub
ject with the members of the board.
It Is apparent that the work Is not
going to be entirely finished by Aug
ust 20, as was recently demanded by
the board, and the contractors will
be urged to complete the work as
soon as possible so as to have the
buildings in good shape for the open
ing of school.

THE POWER OF STEAM.
Maay May gee Bat It Takes Grains to

When James Watt saw the steam
causing the kettle lid to Jump up and
down he said "There must be power in
that steam that it can lift such a
weight"
There was.
Millions prior to him had seen the
same phenomenon and regarded it as
an unexplained mystery.
Recent scientific research has put Its
finger on the "cause" of Dandruff, Fall
ing Hair, and consequent Baldness, and
has unearthed a tiny germ which eats
the life from the roots of human hair.
Newbro's Hrrplclde destroys this
germ and consequently restores the

Charged With Stealing a Saddle From
Louis Keene.
Joe Williams, an Indian who has
seen the Inside of the county Jail be
fore, was brought down last evening
from Athena by Louis Keenc, special
constable. Williams Is charged with
having taken a saddle horse belong
ing to Keenc from a rack In Athena,
und of turning the horse loose after
taking tho saddle. Thereupon Keene
was sworn In as a special constable
and caught the Indian and brought
him here last evening. His case will
be taken up by the district attorney,
Evidently Williams has something
of a mania for stealing saddles, ror
his previous offense was of the same
nature, only the other time he stole
from a fellow Indian instead of
white man.

Master mechanics representing all
the railroads In the state, will protest
to the state board of forest commis
sioners against the enforcement of a
ruling that spark arresters on locomo
tives shall have six meshes to the
inch, says the Walla Walla Statesman.
Three mesh arresters are claimed by
the railroads to be the standard and
the only kind that will work satisfac
torily with Washington coal.
The Northern Pacific has already
protested and this protest will be
Joined by the other roads operating
In Washington. The Paciflo Coast
company has announced an Intention
of taking up the fight on behalf of
the Columbia & Puget Sound.
For wood-burning locomotives It Is
claimed the smaller mesh arresters
can be worked more satisfactorily,
but aside from the small logging roads
operated under private ownership,
coal Is the fuel for Washington roads.
Coal-burning locomotives would be
put out of business by the mesh pre
scribed by the forestry board. It Is
pointed out by the master mechanics
that the coal dust and smoke would
fill up the fine mesh and within a
short time would choke up the stacks
so that It Is questionable whether
smoke could be emitted and It would
be Impossible to keep up steam.
During the summer months the Pa
cific Coast company uses Franklin
coal on the Columbia Puget Sound.
This fuel does not emit sparks that
will live until they reach the ground,
but the company does not protest
against Installing three-mosh spark
arresters. It Is claimed with the
three-mesh arresters sparks can be
held In the stacks and the draft will
not be shut off.
The law is general In Its effect, de
manding the use of spark arresters
from June to October In all locomO'
fives, loe-arlng engines and farm en
gines or boilers. Thus far there has
been no disposition, save In one In
stance, to make trouble for the roads
using three-mesh arresters, but trou
hln Is antlclDated.
Railroad attorneys claim the order
of the board can be successfully re
slsted In court on the ground that Its
enforcement would prevent the opera
tion of trains. But the railroad com
panics are anxious to avoid expensive
litigation, and will make their appeal
to the board of forest commissioners
for a revision of the ruling.
