Our Homes.

The present scarcity OF houses TO rent IN
this city, or the high rates charged for the
few that are vacant and desirable, suggests
the necessity Of some measures for providing
dwellings FOR the great middle class who
cannot afford an exorbitans rental nor to
live with their families in hovcl.
The subject is one that has long ago found
practical solution III many cities east OF Us
both Of greater and less population and COM
mercial Importance than in Walla Walla,
but none Of which possess greater advant-
ages or the promise Of greater enhancement
Ct the value OF property in short time
The plan has been in operation for years IN
Philadelphia, covering that city Of wide area
with comfortable houses, owned by their
occupants and built upon the associative
principle In New York City an association
of sensible and practical men have under
taken the same work. Several cities on this
coast could be named in which addition af-
ter addition has been built to beautify,
adorn and enrich the city in this manner
alone, and the growth Of these places are
wonderful to see.
The plan of these companies is, generally,
simply that of funding the monthly or quar-
terry rent payments into actual ownership
Of the house at the end OF series OF years
proportionate to the stated contributions

Who's Afraid.

1t is very evident from the following
that the Tacoma Ledger considers itself
immeasurably superior to the Grsgonint
"Kuow all men that the letter of March
I4th, 1881, from President Billings to
Henry Willard, refusing to sell his stock
in the Northern Pacific, was furnished to
the Oreyo,,;an by Gen Sprasue, and did
::ot come from the Willard side that
letter of transmitta! accompanying the
COPY so furnished was written by General
Sprague to the editor of the Orey0ntd't,
stating in effect that inasmuch as ne
(Seott) had expressed 4 desire to be IN
formed of any important changes or
action relative 20 the matters at issue, the
copy in question was transmitted; that In
order 20 convey to the public false I'M
preston OF notion as to the source from
which the copy was obtained, the letter OF
transmittal was suppressed, and not men
toned and an introduction written Dy
Scott calculated to mislead the public
into tie belief that Willard. himself had
furnished the copy, and that he ('iiiard)
was not afraid to have both sides OF the
case shown up. The probability is that
Scott would have refused to publish the
letter Of Mr. Billings If he could have
afforded to refuse.

Correspondence.

WALLA WALLA RIVER, April 18th, 1881.
EDITOR STATESMAN From the letters
published in the different county papers
written by various farmers, see that they
are becoming restless. aud are determined to
produce a change for the better. They are
already studying up Diversified farming. 1t
is thought that there will I've greater pro.
portion OF wheat ground this year than ever.
We heard something Of woolen factory
being started here, bu. as nothing has been
said or done about it lately am afraid the
project has died silent death 1t is to
be hoped not, for it would be the means of
retaining a vast amount OF money IN the
country. Wool growers ship off the prIrci
pie amount Of wool 1t seems that it does
not pay to wash the wool previous TO ship
ment. But if it could be converted INTO
woolea goods much of it would be utilized
here, :.,e-e5y increasing the amount of
money saved in the valley for home improve
ment. We want to stir up the farmers
and producers in general, and let them
study and devise plans TO keep more of our
harI earnings i'll the valley. Ii have done
anything for its advancement please publish.
Yours Respectfully,

A Few Facts of Law.

As the City Council seemed disposed
to grant to DIR. Bakers Flume and K r..
Company the right to lay their track
through the eity's streets, We call the
attention of the property-holders to Sec.
10 of the city charter, which reads
"The city Of Walia walla shall have
power to authorize Or forbid the location
or laying down of tracks for railways and
street railways on all streets, alleys or
"pnblic places, but no railray trost can
de thus located or laid dorm mafd after

Clark's 20. N. T." Spool Cotton
how and Where it is Made.

On the westermost shore OF the many
waters" that converge into the harbor OF
New York, eight miles from the city
across the intermediate peninsIlas and
rivers, in the State of New jersey, the
busy and populous manufacturing city OF
Newark stretches seven miles along the
Passaic. Between the respective draw
bridges of the Erie and the Deleware.
Lackawanna and Western railways, the
westward starting passenger on either
road, looking out of his window as the
train rolls over the river, Is confronted by
dense double line of tall factories,
towers and chimneys, extending thous-
and feet along the water front, and IN
Guiding property and capital to the
amount of S3,O00.000. These are the
works of the Clark Thread Company, a
magnificent monument to The genius and
energy Of man who has made America
his debtor, in her commercial, manufac-
turing and domestic interests, "a the
founder OF the works making Ciarks
o. n. 7. Spool Cotton. A brief tribute
to his memory is the proper introduction
to a survey of these remarkable works,
the interi.r Of which, by-the-by, has been
sern hy very few persons not IN the EN-
pluy If the proprietors.
The late George Aitken Clark was born
in Paisley, Scotland, 1924, Of the family
in which tie cotton thread manufacture
originated. Through the mysterious but
mighty law of heredity, he was probably
cotton spinner by birth as well as edu-
cation. The latest and best parts Of the
immense system IN Paisley embody his
genius, and the perfection and magnitude
of the Clark Thread Companys works in
Newark are entirely his monument. His
native city still more oreexpressly eommemo-
rates him with noble city hall, built In
honor of his name. looking down on no
less than FIVE mills, Of 100000 spindles
and 4 900 horse power, which owe the
excellence of their improved mechanical
organization to his masterly skill and
enterprise.
In 1850, Mr.. Clark came to America to
represent the threadmaking firm of Clark
& Co., Paisley, of which he was MEM
Der. At this time the popular makes of
six-eord sewing thread were s:1-co.d to
No. 40 only. With his characteristic
foresight, he saw that the introduction OF
that twin brother Of the telegraph, the
sewing machine, would be general, there
by demanding an improved quality OF
sewing thread. which he few years later
gave to machine makers and users, in the
shape of Clark's o. n. 7. Spool Cotton.
Uniting a genial disposition with great
force of character and all the shre"d and
pushing qualities of his race, he multi
plied friends and extended commanding
influence in all directions, rapidly build
ing up a business which in less than ten
wears warranted, and even demanded, the
establishment of the great thread works,
the first and among the largest in
America, now under our notice Less
than nine years after their erection, MIR.
Clark disd, in Newark, on the 18th Of
February, 1873, leaving behind him, at
the AGE of 49, works Of such magnitude
and utility as few human lives are per-
mitted to accomplish. The thread manu-
facture organized by him IN Newark was
perfection and success from the start.

Successful Boycotting.

4 fuccessful case of B.ycottins has
occurred in New York. Three well
known lager beer brewers took umbrage
at the formation Of a Brewers' Trade
Union and discharged those Of their work
people, who had joined the new organiza,
ton. This led to an explosion. The
Socialist clubs took the matter up and
induced the members of the various
Trade Unions to withdraw their custom
from every saloon where the beer of the
offending brewers was sold. The result
has been an abject surrender by the en-
ployers, who reinstated the wOrkmen,
paid their wages during the time they
were idle, and, moreover, sent a present
of one hundred dollars to help the funds
of the new Trade Union. The money
was, however, returned with derisive
thanks

A GREAT NEwsPAPER-The New York
Herald is a marvel of journalistic enterprise.
It issues immense se1tuple editions every
Sunday and it yet threatens to enlarge still
further These editions lays everything In
the shade in newspaper enterprise on this or
any other continent. Twelve hundred realms
Of paper is consumed in one single edition
which is ever 90 much more than the STATES
MAN can boast. Behold the pigmy and the
giant! We would surrender, give it up,
never stick another type or press of another
paper. But then when We look around u
and find that our edition of the SrArEsxAs
is % much larger than the average country
Newspaper we become satisfied, and are con-
ten. to let the New Yerk Herald rip. Yes.

uorid-that is, there is more of it than any
other-largest in size and largest in ciicuia-

Oleomargarine.

The oleomargarine question has assumed
proportions which will attract the attention
of the country. Fraudulent butter and
cheese have been made by o!eomargarine
methods for Years, but the traffic in them
has grown so great as to demand serious COLI
siLeration.
II it could be shown that oleomars sarine
is no. OF " harmless but even whol, some and
nourishing if not Superior TO dairy products,
even then steps should lie taken to compel
dealers in it to sell it for what it is and not
for genuine butter ami cheese But it is
confidently asserted that a very large pro-
pCrtion of the bogus article sold as butter Is
positively injurious and the mos. of it is of
such nature that fastidiuas people would
not allow it to pass their HIS if they knew
its nature. Francis d. Moulton, N his tes-
timony before the assembly committee Of
New York, testified that oleomargarine
under the microscope shows sigiis of animal
life. and Prot Michel was quoted as saying
tha; the germs of disease are present In Ii.
Noulton declared that the manufacturers
refused TO allow higher temperature than
100 degrees for the extraction OF the oil,
while the animal life in beef cannot be killed
at temperature lower than 2l2 degrees.
Another point againss it is that the men
engaged in manufacturing it are extremely
unclean in their habits While a. work. One
witness testified that in some OF the manu.
factories the men weut half naked and filthy.
The assembly committee visited several
places where the oil is made and found tire
testimony on that point confirmed The
floors were slippery and dirty and an onen-
sive oder vas noticeable At one place the
committee were refused admission. One
witness testified that several members OF a
family iu London we're killed by eating inn
tation butter, and an analysis oi the fraud
showed that it was made OF the Eat OF horses
which had been killed for the glanders-
Another objection to Oleomargarine Is that
il is doing immense damage to the dairy IN
.eres.s OF this country. Walter Carr said
II might safely be put down at from $50, :
coo 900 to S15, 900 per aanrm- One
hundred thousand pounds Of oieomargarine
thrown on the marke. wonld reduce the
value of a million pounds Of butter. Some
of i, is comparatively good and Is decentiy
made. while much is an abomination- The
growth of the trade in the bogus article has
been enormous. Last year 5000, 600 OF
butter we're exported from the United States
and q. OOo, o00 pounds Of oleomarsarine.
Tha. some steps should be taken to COM
,,.l dealers IN the Imitation article to distin.
suish it from the products of the DAIRY all
must admit. Wholesale dealers usually seH
the former for what it is, bet retail men very
generally dispose Of it As good butter, thus
deceiving and defraudins their customers.
The people demand OF the legislatures some
protection against such an imposition

An Unjust Decision

Office ba. decided in answer TO 4 letter writ
Ten by Receiver Adams Of Yakima, "that
Lombardy Poplar is not considered timber
by the General Land Office" At the same
time the Honorable Commissioner admits
that Cottonwood is bone fide timber. Any
one who i. acquainted With the two trees
viii see the unjustness of this order. Pop

Rebate Of Freights-

In regard to the recent trouble OF the sup
pcsed fayoritism of the O. K. L \. Co, In
the matter of rebate on freights, the Stand
ard gives the following explanation which
will no doubt be satisfactory to our readers;
''Some indignation has been expressed by
some Of the merchants of this city over the
fact that the rebates on freights Is allowed py
ths n p SN. Co. TO two or three merchants
IN this city and one in Walla Walla. There
i. however, no discrimination in favor OF par.
t;cuIar r,ensons or frms, but general rule OF
of the company allows Of these rebates to
houses tina. transport fifteen hundred tons or
more per annum over the lines Of the company:
This Is very proper concession in favor Of
Iar-e customers and of the same character as
the concessions made by all the merchants IN
the wholesale trade to large dealers

Especial TO the SrArEsNAy.l

Especial to the SrArEsXAy.l
A shooting affray occurred on the streets
on Friday morning between Thomas Gun
ningham, a commission merchant, and j. 4
Chandler resulting in the death of the for.
mer. For some time past there has been
trouble between both parties who had mar
rie.l sisters-daushters of DIR. Alban of this
city, as Chandler who had formerly been .
stock broker and Lad failed, had refused TO
support his wife, IN fact had it not been for
h,r friends he would have
LEFT HER N WANT.
At times he would leave home for weeks
at time without any reason whatever.
Finally as a last resort DR. Allan sent for
his daughter to come to Walla Walla, to
stay one year, in order to give Chandler a
fresh start in the world Shortly after her
arrival here Chandler went to work IN the
Spirit Of tie Times cffice As business MANA
ger. After working in this capacity for a few
weeks he sent $50 to his wife to come home
Immediately, which she did All went well
for few weeks when he again threw up
his position and refused to provide for her
whereupon she left him with the avowed iu-
teation of
PROCURING A DIVORCE
She stopped at her brother-in-law's house,
which in time also became the object of
Chandlcr's wrath. He several times threat.
ened that if his wife did not return and live
with him he would kill her, and at the same
time backing his assertions with attempts to
get in her presence. So great was the fear
in which the family held him that special
policeman was employed to watch the house.
Matters went on in this wise when Chandler
received the papers of Mrs. Chambers petit
ton for a divorce, when he became greatly
enraged swearing vengeance on some one.
Friday morning as Mr.. Cunningham was
going to his business house he met Mr.
Chandler who Immediately
DREW 4 PISTOL,
Which was immediately seconded by Cum
ninsham following suit They both tired
almost simultaneously, Cunningham falling
dead in his tracks, while Chandler WAS but
slightly wounded. Chandler CLAIMS Gun
ningham fired the first shot. Chandler is a
grandson Of Senator Chandler, Of Name,
and is somewhat related to Secretary Blaine.
He was at one time employed in the U. S.
Mint, and was subsequently member Of
the Board OF Brokers. 1t is thought by
many that Chandler was not perfectly sane.
He is now confined in the city prison await
ing the action OF the coroner's inquest.
