Is the basis of their insinuations of existing dishonesty, wherefore it Is urged that the books of. tho com mission be experted. The rmyi who ordered such Insin uations to be drawn up and published was well aware of his own dishon esty in so doing He knew that trie water commission before making its annual report lias always had its books experted. He knew that this expertlng work has been done by E. K. Cranston, J. T. Lambirth and Richard Mayberry, all of whom are connected with local banks. He knew, furthermore, what disposition 4 'had been made of the money collect- jed from consumers at twenty-five I cents per thousand gallons over and I above one cent per thousand paid to i the electric company. He knew all of these things for I they were told to him no later than jlast week by the chairman of the commission and at the time he was a farmer, who lived four miles east of Colville, was thrown from a wa- gonload of lumber which he was hauling from White Mud lnke to this city and instantly killed. Ills neck was broken. Mrs. Ilevere, who wit nessed the accident from her front porch, says the team was apparently unable to hold the loaded wagon on the steep incline of Munson hill and started to run. The driver, evidently fearing an accident at the turn of the road, attempted to leap to the ground lost his balance and struck on his head. The team and wagon safely reached the bottom of the hill and sit pped. Ross Corle brought the re mains to. town In his automobile. Mr. Shopardson is survived by a young wife whom he married ahout six weeks ago and a father and brother who live here.

Why, then, all this hue and cry ever the waste of the city's money and th ruthless disregard bp- the commissioners of the trust reposed in tbem? Where is the alleged waste? In the nominal expenditure for the development of the springs? Such a charge would be utterly ridiculous. The commissioners have every reason to believ: from the report of an en gineer, recognized all over the north west as bfing thoroughly competent, that Vai; flow from the springs is adeq'.iat- to supply Pendleton with corii :ei a'-ily more than the maximum cfir.su niMivn.

They thought they saw a foundation, in secure though it was, upon which to base bold intimation of graft and dis honesty but their structure was very flimsy indeed and needed but the gentle breath of truth to cause its wreck. And buried beneath Its ruins lies the honesty and sincerity by which some few might have thought its builders actuated In their anti commission campaign. legislation to restrict immigration to tii'.s country of the ignorant alien hordes from southern Europe and the orient. The- ex-governor has a bill '.n em bryo which- he thinks would do the business. He would keep out all who can not speak or understand the Eng lish language and would make it a crime to employ any one in Ignor ance of the language. Unless steps are taken to restrict immigration he foresees grave trouble in the not dist ant future. Mr. McConnell means to devote some time in an effort to get the state legislatures of the northwest and mid dle west to draft and pass measures along the lines of the bill drafted by him.
