HAS BIBLE, TWO BAD CHECKS
Everett Pawnbroker Gets Worst of
Bock Agent's Deal.
EVERETT, Wash., Jan. 15.—An Ev
erett pawnbroker ami confectioner, W.
1* Webb, has two checks and a family
Bible which were left him by an un
known young man for whom he is now
looking. Tin- actual value of the checks
is nil, so W'e'oii says lie has learned,
although their face value is $50. For
them the stranger received $27 in ras»n.
a Sir, watch a $7 waeh chain and a
dollar's worth of cigars.
The young man represented himself
as a book agent Saturday afternoon
he appeared with one cheek drawn to
bearer on the First National bank. He
bought the watch with it. Sunday he
returned with another for $20, and at
that time bought the watch chain and
cigars. It was drawn to and indorsed
by S. EL Miller, and was on the Ameri
can National bank. The first was sign
ed by Joe 1.. P. Rodcrers. and the last
by Sam St. Claire. That time he left
a package in the pawnbroker's arms,
The "TORREY" SHOE
Is the best man's shoe in America. It combines all the qualities
that go to make up a first-class shoe —the material—the
workmanship—the last —the style and the finish: are all of the
highest order. We can highly recommend this shoe to all
lovers of the artistic in shoe-making. It is without a peer
in the shoe world today. Every word we say about this shoe
is absolutely true, and we challenge a successful contradiction
ot the above statement. To wear the "TORREY" shoe once
—means to wear it always. It is indeed a gentleman's shoe.
Made in all weights and colors.
IPriee, #6.00
We are Sole Agents in Walla Walla for the "TORREY"
shoe. Come in please and see for yourselves.
Yours sincerely,

THE FEDERAL DIVISION
NORTH YAKIMA ATTORNEYS
WANT CASCADE MOUNTAINS
TO BE DIVIDING LINE.
Adopt Resolutions Protesting Against
the Passage cf the Bill Intro
duced by Senator Foster.
NORTH YAKIMA. Jan. IT..—The Ya
kima County Bar association met here
Wednesday after a short session of
court by Judge Rudkin and took up the
matter of a resolution relative to the
division of the state into judicial dis
tricts. A resolution that had been
passed by the association of Spokane
was read favoring the division of the
state into two districts with the Cas
cade mountains as the dividing line.
This resolution was endorsed by the
Yakima Bar association, and a similar
one ordered drawn incorporating the
request that this city be made one
of the places for the court to sit. The
Yakima lawyers are opposed to a di
vision of the state into districts as is
suggested by the delegation from the
west side, that is, to divide the state
north and south, with the line through
the center of the state. They believe
this may be good polities for the Taco
ma and Seattle people, but it is not
according to the natural divisions of
the state. A copy of the resolution will
be forwarded to the delegation at
Washington.
FIRST PAPER IN IDAHO.
Tri-Weekly Issued at Boise In Febru
ary, 1865.
GRANGEVILLE Ida-, Jan. 15.—
There has been considerable talk here
lately as to the first paper printed in
this state. A statement was recently
made that it was issued in the city
of Lewiston. August 29. 1873, by A. S.
Gould, and was called the Golden Age,
but this is not correct.
On February 16, IS6o, James S. Rey
nolds & Co., issued the first number
of the Idaho Weekly Statesman, a copy
of which is now in possession of Mrs.
Jessie F. Baker of Lucile, a mining
town in this state. In an interview
with the lady she said: "The copy I
have of the Statesman is the first pa
per printed in Idaho, and has a very in
teresting history. I received it when a
little girl in my eastern home, and it
was sent to me by my father, who was
a pioneer of this state. At tirst it came
over the Rocky mountains in the old
time stage coach, and being published
in what we termed the wild and woolly
west it was read and reread with great
interest and carefully laid away. Sev
eral years later we moved to Missouri
and the paper was packed in our trunk
and taken along. We remained in Mis
souri eighteen years, when we wended
our way to the Pacific coast, and the
old paper came along also —over the
mountains and plains in a prarie
schooner. We settled in Washington
territory and lived there two years
and then moved to Idaho. When the
paper, after many years, found itself
back in its native state, we placed it
on exhibition at a county fair held in
Hendriek in 1897. where it took the
prize for the oldest newspaper in the
state."
DIATH BETRAYS FARMER'S SEX
For Eighteen Years Joe Monahan Mas
queraded as a Man.
ONTARIO, Or.. Joe Monaban
dead on Sucker creek. Malheur county.
Monday. That fact of itself was enough
to startle that quiet community in
which "Joe" has resided for IS years as
a farmer and stockraiser, but when
friendly neighbors started to prepare
the body for burial the community was
given a decided shock when it was
announced that "Joe" Monahan was a
woman.
For IS years the woman masquerad
ed as a man, owned her own farm and
stock and performed all the labor al
lotted to the average husbandman. For
years she has ridden after her cattle
over mountains and plain, camping
with men under all conditions and in
no instance was her sex questioned.
Time over and again "Joe" Monahan
has been summoned by the sheriff to
serve as a juror. In every case she
responded promptly and participated
in preparations of verdicts rendered.
Further than that, she held the distinc
tion of being the only woman in the
state of Oregon who has exercised the
right of franchise accorded only to the
male sex. Her masquerading was so
successful that she was registered as
a voter and cast her ballot at every
election.
The dead woman had accumulated
considerable property, including a good
ranch on Sucker Creek. The mystery
surrounding her life precludes any
facts regarding any relatives. The
property has been taken in charge by
former neighbors pending an investi
gation.

ATTORNEY GENERAL RENDERS
THREE OPINIONS ON MATTERS
OF INTEREST TO PUBLIC.
They Cover Consolidation of School
Districts and Questions Raised
Under New Road Law.
OLYMPIA, Jan., 15.—Attorney-Gen
era] Stratton has been asked to con
sider the law in regard to the consoli
dation of school districts. The question
is raised by the superintendent of
public instruction as to whether a pe
tition to organize a consolidated school
district must be signed by five mem
bers of families residing in one of the
districts. Mr. Stratton holds that five
responsible persons signing the peti
tion is sufficient even though they all
live in the same district.
Two opinions of the new road law
have also been handed down by Mr.
Stratton. One is in reply to a request
for advice made by the Island City
reasurer as to whether road taxes lev
ied for the year 1903 must be paid in
money instead of labor as has hereto
fore ! -en the privilege of the taxpayer.
The : tatute of 1903 makes no provis
ions for th • issuance of certificates of
labor perfo. mod on the road and I iwa
to that effect in existence prior to the
last legislature are all repealed.
In reply to a letter o.' inquiry from
the prosecuting attorney of Wahkia
kum county, the attorney general holds
that a board of county commissioners
has power to redistrict a county at
their discretion, thereby changing the
boundaries which have been previously
established. In this county it is de
sired to establish four instead of three
districts, and in order to enable the
county treasurer to determine which
road district fund taxes collected
should be credited, it is held that the
commissioners should at once certify
the boundaries of the re-established
districts.
