Expert Heney is still busily enga!

Expert Heney is still busily engag-
ed in exporting the books of the miss
ing ex clerk Of the Board of Super
visors. Fred Hughes, and cannot tell
exactly when he will finish his task.
The books are in such condition that
the greatest care and attention is re-
ouired to unravel the snarl, but Mr..
Heney, fortunately for the people OF
this county F., is fully equal to the oc-
casion. The amount of the shortage
as thus far ascertained, amounts to
between five and six thousand dollars.
Of this sum between four and five
thousand dollars is money belonging
to the county. The remainder, five
hundred dollars or more, Is money
belonging to private individuals who
held warrants againso the county.
Another strange feature of the case is
that ex-Clerk Hughes gave no bond
for the faithful performance of bis
duties during the term of 1886
It is stated that he was several times
requested to furnish his bond, by the
Board of Supervisors, and always
promised to do so, but never did. The
expert is unable to state at the present
time what proportion of the shortage
was contracted during the first term.
For the second term Hughes furnish
ed bond in the sum of two thousand
dollars, with two sureties who are
we'll worth the amount Star

THE YAQUI COUNTRY

Oasis. Monday. evening there ar
rived from the south Mpssrs. Ed. and
AL. Starner, Oliver Deans and Will
Mcneil of Preston, South Dako.a
The gentlemen named are returning
from an extended prospecting trip
along the Yaaui river. They passed
almost the entire length of the stream
prospecting the bars and side canyons
thoroughly, task which has taken
them two and one half months. They
are all experienced prospcctors, and
know thoroughly how to prospect
both quartz and placer ground. 1t
was placers they sought, and foi' their
two and one half months Of work and
an expenditure of about seven hun :
dred American dollars each, they have
few small pebbles of gold in phial
of water, the value not exceeding one
dollar. They say they found colors
every ywhere. but no placer gold in pay
ing quantities. AS quartz country
they express high opinion Of the
region visited, but as placer ground
they demur. They state that the
Yaqui valley there is filled with pros
pectors who have been inveigled into
the region by fairy tales of it's richness
and the opportunities for speedy for
tune. These stories seem 20 be put
out persistently and on plan which
is worked ON system. Before starting
on the trip one of them saw man in
Kansas who exhibited about ten
thousand dollars worth of gold dust
and nuggets which he said he had
dug out of the ground on the Iaqui
in an Incredible short space of time.
He described the country as wonder
fully rich and asserted that there were
fortunes to be secured by thousands.
The man travelled well over Kansas
aud northern Missouri, to st. Louis,
telling his wonderful stories and show
ing his gold dust and nuggets. 1t is
Inferred that he was footing for rail-
way companies to draw travel over
their lines. 1t is noticeable OF late
that a new road leading southwest
from Ell Paso has carried great deal
of travel destined to the Yaqui, and
the man is thought to be in the pay
of that line. The result of his work
is filing the Yaqui region with strand :
ed Americans who have expended
everything getting there to find the
promised fortunes vanished myth.
A stop should bc put to all imposition
so rank.

A little ripple Of excitement wa

A little ripple of excitement was
created in our virtuous little city on
last Friday evening, caused by Jesus
Urias taking three shots with pistol
at the son of his fathers brother. The
shooting occnrred on the corner of
Main and Robson streets and the
shots went wide of the mark. The
feud between Jesus and Jose has been
ripening for some time and was caus-
ed by jealousy on Jesus part. Jesus,
who is getting old and ugly and pos
sessessed of the usual unwelcome con-
comitants of old age, has a wife who
is yet on the sunny side Of life, and
she had several children over some of
whom the young and handsome Jose
exercised care akin to paternity.
In fact, Jesus alleged that Jose was
won't at divers times to drive him
away from the sacred threshold OF his
home and take possession thereof
himself together with all the appur-
tenances. Thus the fight was kept
up with varying fortunes; sometimes
Jesus aud sometimes Jose looked out
for the temporal welfare of the house
hold. Jesus finally concluded to. end
his precarious authority in that family
and become monarch of all he could
survey and the easiest way to do this
was to send Jose to tomaleland. He
failed, but landed himself and Jose
both in the cooler where they remain
ed until about noon Christmas, when
, they, having so mellow opened the pad
lock, walked out into the free air and
their presence is felt here no more.
While all this talk about annexing

Inspecting Farms and Orchards

Prof. J. A. Balmer, horticulturalist,
and Prof. c. V. Piper, botanist and biol
'ogist of the Washington Agricultural
College arrived in the city Wednesday
morning for the purpose of inspecting
the methods pursued in fruit culture and
farming in the Walla Walla valley.
Prof. Piper is also making it his bus
iness in visiting different sections of the
state to keep an eye out for that foe to
the farmer, the Russian thistle. He
discovered thriving nursery of the nox-
ious plants near the Farmers Ware
house. lie placed sample in Stewart

warning to farmers, and returning to
the thistle patch, destroyed the plants
root and branch.

That Institute Resolution.

"Be it further resolved that we con-
denim the provision for requiring the
L. S. flag to be displayed at all times
during school hours, as we believe II
produces contempt rather than respect
for our national emblem"
The above is a resolution adopted by
teachers of Whitman County in insti-
tute assembled on Wednesday OF last
week.
One of the warmest advocates OF the
resolution was A. w. Caunett OF Palouse
who said: This is some more OF your
.compulsion business, Mr.. Supt., 1t was
Mr.. Pinkney who said millions for de-
fense but not one cent for tribute and
in the same strain do reiterate 1t to-
day that there are no people on the face
of the earth more patriotic than the
teachers of Whitman County but we
want no compulsory patriotism"
If all the teachers of the state were as
patriotic and intensely loyal as our
Palouse brother perhaps such law as
he so severely condemns would never
need to be enacted. Why do we have
any laws? If people do not need to be
reitrained and constrained in their re-
lations and actions as citizens we can
get along without any law save sort
of individual law unto himself code.
But we have not yet reached that hap
by milIennial period; for while there are
many true-heartd thoroughly patriotic
teachers throughout our commonwealth
who ever have sought to instill the
minds of their pupils love for their
country, there are others and not few,
who never in any way put the Mother
land before their pupils with the idea
OF teaching them patriotism, and be-
cause of the serious neglect on the
part of the school board and teachers
of the state, our legislators being petit
toned by the patriotic teachers and citi-
zens of the state passed the law above
referred to. If teacher be truly patri-
otto he will willingly and gladly perform
this small and simple duty; nor will it
be burdensome or seem compulsory to
him. But it is the half-hearted dissatis
fed, disloyal citizen who is always first
to squirm when duty calls.
We Of Pullman helped to originate in
our public school the petition sent to
the legislature last winter to secure the
passage of the above section and as fully
believe it now as then. When once
tried we believe the teachers of Whit
man County will about-face and take
their place at the head of the line where
they have heretofore stood.
