the question, either the importation Of Chinese
labor or else the restriction of the output OF
the existing mines ana the abandonment OF
the development of the new ones, with the re-
suit that gold would become still more scarce,
affecting injuriously trade and industry all over

Notwithstanding this, public feeling through

been provided and plenty seating ca
pacity to accommodate all has been
added.
Sunday all vehicles will be admit
Ted to the grounds without charge
and plenty hitching accommodations
will be provided.
A pair of beautiful young golden
eagles were brought to the park To-
day and prove an interesting addi-
ton to the geological department.
A fine new boat is in the painters
hands and will be installed in the
lake Monday or Tuesday, 1t is some
Is feet long with width of beam
enough to accommodate six or seven.
A fine family boat.
1t is an undisputed fact that the
lake is not up to its fullest capacity
and yet very pueasurable boating can
be had as it is. The trouble lies in
the fact that Garrison creek is simply
dry by the time it reaches the park.
Investigation has revealed the fact
that below where Garrison creek is
divided from the Yellow Hawk two
large streams are flowing back into
the latter stream, thus depriving Gar
rison creek of about half Of it's volume
enough to furnish plenty for all irri-
cation. The park and what is of the
greatest Importance to the city, water
absolutely necessary to the welfare of
Fort Walla Walla, this is a matter the
proper authorities sould look into at
once and dam up the streams that are
being allowed to rob Garrison creek.
A power pump is to be installed at

HIGGINS PINCHED
Would-be Humane Canuck Ar.
rests Rev. Higgins for Cruelty
to Animals.

Rev. II. E. Higgins of this city
returned from Winnipeg Monday
morning, where he had a rather.
disagreeable experience with a
reformer (?) Canadian. The fol
loving from the Winnipeg Free
Press of last Thursday tells the
story:
The fine team of St. Bernard dogs,
Spark and ,sFlash,n that have
aronsed the admiration Of SO many
Winnipeg small boys, and the inter-
|ested attention of the grown-ups as
we'll, BY appearing on the street at
tached to handsome sled, and driven
by q rudy faced, good natured gem
tleman, are threatened with trouble.
The Rev. 7. r. Higgins, the owner
of the fine team, complains that he
was stopped on Main street Wednes-
day by a frantic looking individual,
who ran hallooing after him with loud
voice and demanding his name with
unceremonions andacity, telling him
at the same. time that he would be ar
rested for abusing his dogs by COM
pelling them TO draw his sled and self.
Al large crowd soon gathered to the
scene Of the trouble, to find that the
gentleman who was SO wildly bella
bouring the stranger was Mr.. A. VI.
Andrews. The stranger, who Is mis-
lsionary TO logging camps and pastor
OF church in B,midji, Mimi, quietly
gave his name, and said he would
wait until q policeman came to make
the arrest. A policeman came and
made some inquiries, but no arrest
was made. II IS understood that Mr..
Andrews will lay Information toward
getting the Rev. Mr.. Higgins to an
swer the charge of cruelty TO animals.
Much indignation was expressed hy
citizens for the way IN which the
stranger was treated by Mr.. Andrews.
One individual was heard to inquire.
nWhy has Mr.. Andrews mot laid conn
plants ia hundred other cases ii he
is anxious for police court excite
ment? Very frequently dogs are seen
less than half the size of those mag
nifieent animals Of Mr.. Higgins, sing
ny drawing full grown adults along
our streets. Dogs aa.e also commonly
used for sleds in the north and vest x
The people OF this vicinity will
fndit rather hard to believe that
Nj. Higgins is cruel to his dogs.
He has been driving the dogs
nearly all winter and they are in
better shape now than when he
got them. The Mr.. Andrews,
who preferred the charges, is
evidently seeking q little cheap
notoriety.
