Supt. Rowe and Engineer Mcclellan Of
the .. L. N. DR.. Jorgensen and Miles
Moore Of Walla Wa!la. came into town
Tuesday eve on tour Of examination aud
in company with Mr.. Vollmer Of this place,
proceeded to Asotin City yesterday and
returned last eve. Their precise object is

ANOTHER FIRE IN WALLA WALLA.-On
Saturday night, just US people were retiring,
fire broke out in the Delmohico block and
destroying about $50, 900 worth of property,
including the most valuable portion Of the
Delmonico, the Petaluma house, and several
other buildings were destroyed. 1t is be.
lieved that the whole was the work of incen.
diaries evidenced by smell of kerosene in
several places, as well as the simultaneous
combustion Of several places at the same
time. Tramps who had been excluded from
one OF the buildings a short time before give
color to the belief.
UNJUST PREJUDIcE.-There is an unjust
prejudice existing by few Of our towns
people against the Nashville Students, who
are billed for this place on tomorrow eve.
But by every theatre-goer. it was evident to
them that they had been restricted to a
certain extent while performing here last
season. All of the lower country papers
praise and compliment them in the highest,
as being A No. l. We dou't think this
prejudice should be tolerated. and the band
boys, under whose auspices the entertain
ment will be given, guarantee success.
Let us all go.

The steamer Baker did not reach here
Monday on her regular trip. We learn that
the Spokane ran aground in going down ia
Ainsworth, at Pine Tree rapids, with her
load from Stewards landing, The Baker
was required to assist in getting her off, and
made an unsuccessful attempt on Monday
and returned. She started down again OH
| Tuesday morning to make second attempt.
The water is getting very low for the season
and small cargoes only can be shipped from
this time forward unless there comes rise
in the river, which is not likely to occur till
some time in September.
