in 12 THE EVENING CHRONICLE, SPOKANE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1904. ASSESS ALL MEN ALIKE Strong Favors Treating the Railways Just Like Ordinary Folks. NOT TO ASK CONSENT Of Other Assessors to Fix Values That Appear to Be Just. A. W.

Strong. who has been very promInent in republican politics in this county for A number of years, is announced AB a candidate for the office of county asMr. Strong was county assessor in 1886-7 and was register of the United States land office from 1890 to 1894. At present he resides a short distance east of the elty, He is well known throughout the county and it is believed he may make a formidable candidate, Mr. Strong was asked this morning: "What polley would you favor in the assessment of the railroads?" "To assess them exactly as though the property belonged to any other person." WAs his reply, "I would be controlled my oath of office-would aimply be the assessor of Spokane county, and would not be bound or controlled by any assessors' convention or any other outside influence." is your Idea as to the present custom of assessing cash at its full value while other property is discounted?" "All other property being taken at percentage of its value, I would regard It as absolutely unjust to assess the few dollars a man may have in the bank at a value greater than a similar amount of property held by an individual in property and not in cash." Meat and the Physique.

Students of dietary science are now looking with peculiar interest on the content now going on between Japan and Russia. In all times past the Japanese have been mostly vegetarians, their staple food having been rice and pickles. The effect of this diet, acting for centuries, has been to make them tough and wiry, but stunted in growth. But since wrestling became the national sport the wrestlers took on the old Greek notions, and those intended for that sport have been given full meat diet. It transpires that although the wrestlers came from the same stock they seem to be of a different race, for their average height is close on to six feet and their weight enormous.

As some of these wrestlers can trace their ancestry back for centuries it is considered as proof positives that the tendency of meat eating is to make larger and stronger men, though not more active, tough and enduring. Japan offers no argument in favor of meat eating on the whole, Globe. The SloanePaine Co.

GETS COACH RADER Great Fullback Is Chosen to Handle the W. A. C. Eleven. BOYS FROM SPOKANE Will Play Important Parts on Next Year's Team.

D. Paul Rader, last year's coach of the Puget Sound football team, has been selected as coach the football eleven at Washington State college at Pullman, and today the athletic association on trustees, consisting of Professor 8. Shedd, Professor H. V. Carpenter, J.

Last HeRson Rader coached the Puget Sound university, and him team suffered not one defeat, Pullman being the only team not scored against by the preachers. Was a Great Player. Rader began his football career at Colorado university, and has been known ever since that time as a great fullback.

After being graduated from college Rader coached several small colleges, and last year made a reputation for his colloge and for himself. The work of his men showed good trathing and true football coaching. The athletic committee at Pullman has been communicating with Rader in resard to the position for some time, and yesterday his acceptance of the offer made him was received. The trustees this afternoon will simply put their seal of approval on the action of the committee and formally make him coach for next footbal season. A telephone message from Pullman today states that there 18 general rejoleing among the students and the faculty at the choice of Rader.

Not only as a coach, but 88 a man, he has received praise everywhere, and the students at the W. A. C. have reason to hope they will recover from the slump the team had this year, and be In Arst division next season. Splendid Material.

Rader will have the best material work upon that Pullman has ever had. From tackle to tackle next year's line will tip the scales at over 200 pounds. Further than this, they will all be fast. Stewart, at center. will weight over 200: Thayer, an old Spokane high school boy, and Strand, a new man, will gO 200 pounds, and will be stationed at guards.

Brooks, last year's tackle, and Preston, another Spokane boy, will make tackles, both weighing over 200 pounds. For the positions, Rehorn, B. Jones and Spalding. all of last season, will be eligible and will try for the team. The back field will be the best the college has ever had.

There will be two Bets of backs, one light and the other heavy. Cardwell, last year's all star half, Captain Gill and Longstreet will make good men, while Goldsworth, Hardy and Thomie are three heavy, fast backs, averaging over 180 pounds. Hardy has chance of developing into one of the best drop kickers on the coast. In the Whitman same last year he tried a drop from the 80 yard line and missed by but few inches. He will be given plenty of work in that line next season.

REPUBLICANS WIN IN SEATTLE ELECTION Ballinger Leade His Opponent for Mayer by a Fair Majority. SEATTLE. March R. Ballinger, the republican nominee, today elected mayor of Seattle by a Inajority of from 1000 to 1500 votes, running behind the rest of the republican ticket by approximately 1000 votes. The or other successful candidates voted for by the city at large are all republicans, although the democratic candidates for councilmen were elected the First.

Seventh and Ninth, and, in all probabil1ty, in the Sixth wards. Returns at midnight, about two thirds complete, indicate that the successful candidates and their majorities are as follows: Mayor, Ballinger, 1200; comptroller, John linger, republican, 3500; corporation counsel, Mitchell Gilliam, republican, 6400; treasurer, 8.

Crichton, republican, 300; Ninth ward. W. H. Murphy, demo- crat, 400. Democratic Gain.

Including Drees, whose election la claimed by the democrats, the democrats have made a gain of three members of the city council, the present council being exclusively republican, with the exception of Murphy, who is reelected. Local issues and the character of the candidates were the deciding factors in the ward counclimanic contests. The loss of republican votes by Ballinger is due principally to the fact that his candidacy was first suggested by the transcontinental railroad interests and to his opposition to Harold Preston in the senatorial fight of two years RKO. Early in the campaign the liquor interests were alligned on the side of the democratic candidate, but their unity of action WAR very much broken up before election day.

DURRETT TO BIRMINGHAM Story of the Methods Used in Securing Him for Spokane. President Williams has received word that Durrett, the fast center fielder of the Indians last year, has been awarded to Birmingham in the Southern league, The action was taken without consulting the N. L. or the management of the Spokane team. The Durrett case has received considerable attention, owing to the charges brought by the Birmingham club.

While the committee may have reached the right decision in the matter, yet its action in reaching a conclusion without calling for evidence from Spokane shows poorly for its attempt at justice. After all the talk has been made and after all the roasts that have been handed the committee on this case, for once that committee did what was right. There 18 no question but that Huelaman and Durrett were deliberately purloined by the old Spokane management from the Southern league. Straight Facts. The straight facts of the case have never been brought out, but they show A shrewdly turned trick whereby the Coast leukue WAS fooled into paying the transportation of three men-Hueisman, Durrett and Taylor to the coast, where they played one game with the Outlaws and then jumped to Spokane.

According to the rule adopted by the National agreement clubs, the P. N. L. wan entitled to sign any player in the Coast league and to play him without having to settle with the club from which he jumped. Spokane was losing and needed men.

The plan to induce Huelsman, Durrett and Taylor to Jump to the Coast league, play one game and then come to Spokane was evolved and it worked. Huelsman went to Portland, Durrett and Taylor to Seattle, played one game each, and then came to Spokane. This claim WAR put up by the Southern league and the committee concluded the facts were HO.

Hearst Special. LONDON, March The military and naval expert of the London Times declares that Admiral Togo's squadron is resting and retting in Thornton haven, on the west side of the island of Haiyang Tao, one of the Elliott group. He dismisses as preposterous the report that part of Admiral Togo's command was concerned in the bombardment of Vladivostok. Even assuming that the Russian fleet at Port Arthur was either destroyed or securely bottled up there is no reason that Admiral Togo would withdraw his ships from the vicinity of the fortress, which Japan is anxious to capture. So long as he is in position keep the Russian warships in Port Arthur harbor, a second class cruiser or destroyer or so is sufficient guard for the Japanese transports that are plying along the west coast of Korea.

Where Is Vladivostok Squadron? They could easily dispose of an isolated Russian destroyer that might be able to slip past the Japanese guardships during dark night. Interest, declares the correspondent, now centers in the location of Russian Siberian squadron, and whether it succeeded in getting back into the Vladivostok harbor. Even though it was seen in the sea of Japan last week, It has had time enough to get back before the Japanese fleet made its appearance off the harbor. The question of what it will do, however, is one that 110 one but Russian can solve. It may be that it will attempt to keep out of reach of the Japanese squadron and even to locate lightly guarded troop ports that would prove an easy prey, This is the generally accepted belief of the Russian commander's intention, and results are anxiously awaited.

Turning to a discussion of the conditions in Korea, the correspondent says: "It appears from the latest reports that the ice along the coast la broken up at least so far north as Chinnampo, which the Japanese are now using as a base for the landing of troops and supplies needed at Pingyang. Large numbers of men are daily being landed there, but the exact number is, of course, a closely guarded secret. Japanese Are Wary. "Despite the fact that the unofficial reports declare that everything is in readiness for the forward movement and that enough troope are on hand to of fectively engage the Russians, the Japanese commanders do not intend being led Into the mistake of holding their foe too cheaply and being lured into trap. They will have an overwhelming force ready before they attempt passage of the Yalu.
