Run Ballinger for Governor
Olympia, Wash., Jan. 18- —R-
A. Ballinger, of Seattle, has re
signed as commissioner of the
general land office at Washington,
D. C., and will return to this state
so that he may make the race for
the republican nomination for
governor. That is the choice bit
of gossip that has reached here
and it comes pretty well substan
tiated. While it was generally
understood, when Judge Ballinger
went east to accept the position
tendered him by President Roose
velt, that he would remain there
but a short time, his interests be
ing all in this state, it was some
what of a surprise that Ballinger
should quit the federal position as
soon as he will —quit it in fact
when he is just beginning to carry
out the policies he had proposed.
Of course, when it is understood
he is coming back to enter the
gubernatorial race, the explanation
of the sudden return westward is
apparent.
The New Jail.
The new jail is completed, and
the commissioners have accepted
the same. It cost $16,819. It is a
fine building and the citizens of
Stevens county have reason to be
proud of the jail. It is two-story.
The cells are on the upper floor,
having room to accommodate 20
prisoners. The first floor will be
used by the sheriff for offices. It
is up to date in every particular,
cells are arranged so that it is not
necessary for an officer to go inside
of the cage in order to lock each
cell, as they are so constructed
with the new patent levers. —
Reveille.
Covnty News.
Colville pays its city officials
pretty good salaries. The clerk
gets $40, the night marshal $70,
day marshal $70, water commis
sioner $70, city attorneys $50 and
the city engineer $125 per month.
A committee from the Stevens
county bar association met at Col
ville last week and arranged a new
schedule of fees to be charged here
after.
The Metaline correspondent of
the Statesman-Index takes the fol
lowing shot at pipe dreamers:
The .Anshell Automobuble line
will soon be running between here
and Colville. Sam says they can
run their machines through or over
five feet of snow on skees. It
seems to us unenlightened people
that a forty horse power machine
that can travel on snowshoes over
the mountains is about what the
millionaires want that are going
from New York to Paris with their
autos. It is also reported that Mr.
Anschell will build a seven story
block here in the near future, the
material to be taken out of the
marble quarries at the canyon.
We did not learn whether it would
be white or rose color. Then we
are to have railroads galore. The
Washington <fc Idaho will build
down on the east side of the river
and the Great Northern comes
down the west side. The Colville
Metaline & Pacific will come cross
lots. Now don't get excited and
all rush in here at once as our ac
commodations for taking care of
large crowds are limited.
Dr. A. E. Baldwin amd Charles
J. Webb, of Kettle Falls, have filed
a peaition with the board of coun
ty commissioners for a franchise
over highways of Stevens county,
between Kettle Falls and the mouth
of the Spokane river, for the pur
pose of constructing and maintain
ing a railroad between the two
points. The application states that
it is proposed by the associates of
the petitioners to organize the Ket
tle Falls & Columbia River Trans
portation company, and that the
proposed new company will con
struct the line. The new road will
traN erse the rich Columbia river
valley and will be about 45 miles
in length. It is probable the road
at the start will be operated by
by steam motive power. The
petition will be heard Feb. 15.
The town of Chewelah has ex
pended the sum of $10,563.55 on
its new electric light and water
systems.
SWIFT JUSTICE
[Original]
"Will jour excellency have a boat?'
asked a soft voiced, soft eyed Italian
of an Englishman on the bay of Na
ples.
The hour was sunset, the air balmy
and the -waters smooth. The English
man hired the boat and was pulled out
into the bay till the island of Ischia
stood on the one hand and Capri on
the other, while the broad Mediter
ranean stretched before him. He was
thinking what a beautiful region and
what a degraded people. Cavour had
uot at that time by statecraft welded
the Italian states. Garibaldi had not
risen like a rocket with his military
achievements. The government of Na
ples was especially despicable. The
Englishman, being too warm, took off
his coat, laying it on a seat. When
he had gone as far as he wished he
directed the boatman to turn about
and pull back. Then, when the shore
was reached, he took up his coat and
went his way.
An hour later he missed his purse.
Certain that it had dropped from his
coat pocket when he had laid it on
the seat, he went to the shore. The
boatman had just cdme in from an
other trip,on the bay. He looked very
much hurt out of his soft eyes when
the Englishman told him that he had
dropped his purse in the boat, saying
that he had found no purse.
The Englishman did not doubt that
the boatman had appropriated his
purse and its contents, but had no proof
of the theft and would not have pro
ceeded against him in any event. What
could be expected of a people living
under such a government? He went to
his hotel angry \\ iih himself at his
carelessness and angry with the des
potic sway that prevented the Neapoli
tans from getting an honest living.
Meeting some countrymen of his own
in the cafe where he dined, he told
them of the circumstance of the loss
of his purse, inveighing bitterly against
the government. ' -
"In a land oppressed by tyranny," he
said, "it is impossible to have a pros
perous people. A people who are not
permitted to keep what they earn must
steal. Here all they earn must go to
the government. In our country our
workingmen are lightly taxed, and
when crime is committed there is a
police force to ferret out the criminal
and courts to administer punishment"
He spoke in English, not supposing
that he was understood at any one of
the neighboring tables even if over
heard.
"Softly," interrupted one of his com
panions in an undertone. "That well
dressed, gentlemanly Italian over there
is listening, I'm sure."
"What makes you think so?"
"I have seen the color rise to his
cheeks and his nostrils dilate. He is
suppressing wrath. Look out for your
self during the rest of your stay here.
Don't go through the narrow streets
lest you get a stiletto in your back."
"They dare not murder an English
man. At this time they don't wish to
make an enemy of a powerful nation."
"Not openly. You will be missing.
That is all."
The Englishman visited the buried
cities near Naples and the volcano that
buried them; then, the evening before
his departure being fair, he took boat
and visited Capri. When on returning
he stepped ashore he was accosted by
a gentleman whom he recognized as
the one who had been suspected of lis
tening to his conversation at dinner a
few evenings before. The man spoke
in English, with an Italian accent.
'.'You are Lord 8., I believe," said the
Italian.
The Englishman, who was traveling
incognito, was surprised. He inclined
his head in assent.
"And leader of the opposition in the
British house of commons?"
Again the Englishman nodded his
head.
"You lost a sum of money a few
days ago?"
"I did."
"How much?"
"Eighty pounds."
"You are mistaken. There were £80
and 2 napoleons."
"I believe you are right."
"In what did you keep them?"
"In a silk purse."
"Of what color?"
"Different colors."
"The rings were"—
"Of gold."
"Where do you think you lost ycur
purse?"
"In one of these boats while out en
the bay."
"Do you suspect any one of t&ki&g
it?"
"Possibly the boatman."
"Should you recognize him?"
"Certainly."
"Please step this way."
The Italian led the Englishman to
one of the boats that lined the shore.
It bore the name of the one in which
he had lost his purse. Something lay
in the bottom. It was covered with a
dirty cloak. The Italian lifted the
cloak, and there lay the man who
rowed Lord B. on the bay, dead. In
his hand was the purse. The Italian
took it from the cold fingers and hand
ed It to the owner.
"Will you count it?'
"No," said Lord 8., at last rebellious.
"Very well. I trust that when yon
return to your country, where you'
boast of your justice, you will not:
malign the government of Naples,'
where you have seen how swiftly pun
ishment Is meted out for crime, hi*
majesty the king directs me to give
you his compliments and say that,
though so important a man, it would
not be wise for you to again criticise
Ms rule in his dominions."

The Pvre Food Law.
Secretary Wilson says: "One of the
objects of the law is to inform the con
sumer of the presence of certain harm
ful drugs in medicines." The law re
quires that the amount of chlorotorm,
opium, morphine and other habit form
ing drugs be stated on the label of each
bottle. The manufacturers of Chamber
lain's Couj.h Remedy have always
claimed that their remedy did not con
tain any of these drugs, and the truth
of this claim is now fully proven, as no
mention of them is made on the label.
The remedy is not only one of the safest,
but one of the best in use for coughs and
colds. Its value has been proven be
yond question during the many years it
has been in general use. For sale by
