That cleanliness is next TO godli-
ness" is a very generally accepted
maxim, Of which no one disputes the
correctness. In the matter of the
public streets, there is something
more than a mere esthetic considera-
ton involved in keeping these in
order.
We notice that some desirable i'm
provements have been made upon a
few Of the streets within few weeks
past, as upon Madison street between
Fourth and Sixth, Marion from
Third to Fourth, and on Spring from
Front to First, but the most delapi-
dated streets are still as much OBJ
structed with sewerage as ever.
The simple truth is, that puddles
Of stagnant drainage standing along
the margin of many of our principal
streets and evaporating in the sun,
are nothing more or less than poison
generators, which are responsible for
a great deal Of the sore-throat and
fevers that prevail here so extensive
ly after every heavy rain.
II the surface cutters were kept
carefully cleared, the gradient of our
streets is such that the heavy
rains would Of themselves keep
the streets thoroughly cleansed
The difficulty is that the channels
become clogged and the free fiowage
prevented, in consequence Of which
pools of corruption are formed that
exhale miasms throughout the
greater part of the year, and thus
account for the fact that has been
observed by contemporary, that the
diphtheria breaks out afresh after
every considerable rain storm.
Where the lives Of SO many chill
dren aud the general health of all
are so directly involved, negligence
Of this matter is inexeusable.
Though the expense would be COM
paratively trifling, its Importance it
quite as great in its way, as the costly
grading of the main business thor
oughfares, and cannot be so we'll post
poned.
Our little city was once acknowl-
edged TO be the healthiest on the
coast, and will be still if only it is
kept clean. Either this matter Of
drainage must be attended to, or else
citizens will find it to their advantage
to scatter out into the fresh suburbs
in the establishment Of homes.

WALLA WALLA ITEMS.

Many Of the farmers located along
the foot bills have commenced harvest
ing their grain. The proprietors of
headers and threshers have been busy
for some time making contracts to head
and thresh, and the farmers wives are
busy preparing for the great event Of
the year, the coming of the harvest
hands. Every man who comes to town
from abroad and expresses a desire to
work, obtains situation at once at
good wages. There is lively demand
for harvest hands now, and the supply
is not equal to the requirements of our
agriculturalists. Our blacksmiths and
wagon makers feel the approach of
harvest by the increased demand tor
their skill, while our merchants are
made aware Of its commencement by
the dimunition Of the crowd of BUYERS
in their establishments. The crop is
reported as being of better quality and
larger yield per acre than for years,
while the acreage is nearly double that
of any previous year. Good judges
place tho surplus crop of the valley at
1000 tons, or 5000 bushels of grain,
while some are quite certain that the
surplus will equal $4,000 tons. The
first estimate is not far wrong, in our
opinion. The indications all point
towards very low price for wheat
this Fall; the figures 80 to 80 cents
per bushel, representing the present i'm
pressions Of buyers.
During the week Martin Campbell
hauled through town. from Wallula. his
new steam engine "Walla Walls Chief"
and large Buffalo Pitts threshing ma
chine. The engine is of the portable
variety, made at Mansfield, Ohio. 1t
has cylinder seven inches in diameter,
with ten-inch stroke. and is rated as a
twelvc-horse power. Thursday, An
drew Masterson hauled a similar engine
through town named the Buckeye

There are now three threshing machines
run by steam in the Valley.
