CRIPPLE WILL BE
GUEST OF MR. HILL
Spokane. Wash., Dec. 21. Walter
DeBarrow. 17-years-old. a wanderer
who lost his legs recently in a Great
Northern railroad accident, will be
here. from St. Paul to be the Christ
mas guest of J. J. Hill, the railroad
magnate.
When recuperating at the poor
farm here, I )e Harrow wrote to J. J.
Hill, shouldering all blame for the
loss of his legs and asking If there
was not some railroad work he could .
do. A reply came from Mr. Hii, of
fering the youth artificial limbs, an
education if he wanted it and the
promise of a life Job on the railroad.
DeBarrow has been a waif all his
life and has no knowledge of his par
ents. v
communications. All these letters
recommending persons for office are
being grouped and will be taken up
separately."
Mr. Wilson Indicated that he would
not feel at liberty to make final de
cision until tho merits of nil possible
candidates had been set forth to him.

choice and to try to get us many opin
ions as possible that are worth while."
Mr. Wilson was asked If he believed
he would encounter any difficulty in
getting the men desired for cabinet
portfolios to accept. : It had been sug
gested that in the case of the attor
ney genoralship, noted lawyers often
had been reluctant to leave their
practico and for this reason ' many
ab1.' men had not been pushed by
their friends.
"This has not been my' experience
thus far," replied tho governor with
a smile. "I have asked some people
and they have been quite ready with
their names."

ENDORSE CHANGE
IN GAME LAWS
ASSOCIATION IN FAVOR
At Mi-cling Ust Xislit no Rissontlon
Is Heard lYom ITojiowod Changes
in I jaws on Grouse ami Deer May
lx? From Sept. 1 to Nov. 1 Other
'liaii"cs Discussed.
Without a dissenting vote the Uma
tilla County Fl.sh and Game association
went on record las evening as endors
ing the changes in the grouse anil
deer law proposed by the state boarj
of fish and game commissioners. The
changes if adopted, will make the
open season on grouse and deer from
Sept. 1 to Nov. 1.
Resolutions were nlso adopted en
dorsing the proposals to shorten the
duck season, cut down the duck lim
it, to place a limit on geese and to for
bid the sale of geese except for a
limited period.
Contrary to expectations there was
no opposition at last night's meeting
to opening the grouse season two
weeks later and closing it a month
later than at present. All those pres
ent last night who were previously
opposed to the change had apparently
been brought around to the other way
of thinking and when the matter was
put to a vote the resolution of en
dorsement was carried unanimously.
Last night's meeting was the most
largely attended of any held in many
months nnd by far the most represen.
tatlve. The one question which pro
voked the most discussion was the
proposal to take the protection off of
female deer, allowing hunters to kill
either sex. The majority of those
present, however, were opposed to this
change. Its strongest advocate was
Frank -Hilbert, the pioneer Camas
Prairie rancher He though It would
be for the best Interest of the sport
to cut the limit down to two or even
otie but to allow each hunter to kill
the first deer he can find, regardless
of sex.
Another one of the board's proposed
changes which met with favor was
the one cutting the deer limit from
five to three. Many of those present
were In favor of a still greater reduc
tion. Just before adjournment a resolu
tion strongly endorsing the sta'
board of fish and game commission
ers for the work done since the cre
ation of the bord was adopted amid
enthusiastic applause.

North Yakima, Wash.. Dec. 21.
The "wets" won yesterday's election
here by a plurality of 203 votes. The
battle was hotly contested and the
result was not known until the re
turns from the last precincts were in.

a total vote of 2486 to 2283 (these
figures combined representing approx
imately three-fourths of the total
registration) they declared their In
tention of asking a recount.
They claim their watchers had
challenged more than 1000 votes In

ALLEGES THAT FATHER
KIDNAPED HIS SON
Whether or not a father has the
right to kidnap his own son when the
parents are not divorced Is a point
involved in a case now ap here as
the result of the taking away yester
day of Freddie Lyons, little pupil at
the Hawthorne school, by his father.
Fred Lyons, formerly of Pendleton.
It appears that for some time past
the father an 1 mother of the boy
have been estranged but that no le
gal action looking to a separation has
ever been taken. The mother lives
with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam McGregor, at 711 Lilleth street,
and has been caring for tho child,
who until yesterday was a pupil in
tho room of Miss Lecil Evans at the
Hawthorne school.
Shortly before noon yesterday Ly
ons went to the school and applying
at the room where the little fellow
was studying, asked to see the boy.
Ignorant of the fact there was a plot
against the little fellow, the teachen
allowed the boy to go with the fath
er. The father had an auto in wait
ing by the school and immediately
drove to the depot. It Is the supposl-v
tlon that father and son left on No.
17 yesterday for Hillsboro where Ly
ons' relatives live.
In hopes of forcing the father to
give up the custody of the lad, Mrs.
Livens and parents have made com
plaint to the officers and the question
was put up to Deputy District Attor
ney Newberry. However, a warrant
was refused by Mr. Newberry, who
held that since the couple have not
been legally separated there is noth
ing to justify the warrant. It is un
derstood the grandparents of the boy
do not propose to give up the fight
and declare they will have Freddie
Jr., brought back to his rendleton
home.
