SLAUGHTERED FISH
Pine Greek Damned Up
and Turned Into Ditch.
LOWER STREAM Hill AND DRY
Hundreds of Pounds Of Trout Lie
fostering In the Creek Bot
toms As a Result.
LOWER STREAM HIUH AND DRY

Thousands of trout ranging from {
few inches in length to half-pOunder:
are reported dead in the bed of Pine
creek below the intake of the Burlin
game ditch. Farmers of the vicinity
learning of the slaughter, FASTENED tC
the creek and scooped up the fish BY
the half bushel.
The stream was damned up a few
days ago to furnish water for the
ditch. The lower part of the creek
was left high and dry and resulted in
leaving the fish stranded in shallow
pools. These soon evaporated leaving
the rish dead in the creek bottom.
Pine creek is a small stream head
ing on Basket mountain and winds
it's way peacefully through the Hudson
Bay country, finally emptying in the
Walla Walla river Trout abOunded
in its cool waters. Parties who brought
news to Walla Walla Saturday, say
several hundred pounds of trout were
lying in the creek bottom the next
day after the water was turned into
the ditch.
Farmers were able to take out many
pounds before the mass began to de-
cay.

Girls Who Work for Uncle Sam.

From 8 o'clock in the morning until
close to in the evening there are
5000 typewriters grinding out letters
for the United States government.
During these hours there are, of course
5000 typewriter girls busily hammer
ing the machines.
Uncle Sam is the largest employer
of typists in the country, and should
be the patron saint of the typewriter
girl. The amount of manuscript his
workers turn out would make even
Clyde Fitch look dizzy.
Uncle Sam is the incest kind of a
man for typewriter girls to work for.
He pays large salaries and he sup
plies his workers with everything they
want. If a girl expresses a preference
for a certain kind of a machine she
gets it. She does not have to sit
down and try to pound a typewriter
she does not like.
whenever a new typewriter girl is
employed in one of the departments
she names the machine and it is pur-
chased for her.

CUT DOWN OUTPUT
Fruit DrierS Will Run Short
Shift This Year.
PRICE HIGH DEMAND GREAT
Green Fruit BY Scores Of Cars
Will Be Shipped to
Outside Points.

Though the valley crop of prunes
will equal last years crop, proprieto1s
of fruit drying establishments are
afraid they will be unable to buy in
sufficient quantities TO equal even one
half of last years output The de-
| mand from outside points for valley
prunes, they say, is such that prices
are higher than they can consistently
pay and the bulk of the crop will be
shipped by growers in the green state.
w. P. McMinn. who operates big
dryer near the state line, was in the
city today and stated that he expected
to start up his plant by September
first. He will raise enough prunes on
his own place to keep the drier run
ming for a short time, but after that
he could not speak for the future ow
ing to the tremendous demand for the
fruit in the green state.
Buyers, he stated this morning, were
literally swarming the Milton and
Freewater fruit districts in search of
summer apples and prunes. As high
as four in a single day have visited
his farm the past week. The favorite
pldll is W COutIdCl lOI lIlc lluIL Oh Juo

picking and packing.
4 never saw such a demand for
summer apples as there is this year"
Mr.. McMinn said, and for prunes too
for that matter The prune situation
for us fruit driers does not look very
promising, owing to the enormous de-
mand. Just what will be the output
of my drier is problematical at pres
emit The demand for apples is such
that buyers are paying 81 per hundred
where seventy-five cents was paid last
year. and they are taking almost any
thing that looks like an apple, where
as last year they were very particular
in this regard. The situation is very
gratifying to growers, as they have
been able to dispense Of very near
all their surplus fruit at good prices"

Washington. Aug. 1O.-Attorney
General Knox has expended only $40,
600 of the $500, 600 special fund to be
used in prosecuting the trusts which
violate the laws. More than half OF
this amount was expended in the
Northern Security case. David T.
Watson of Pittsburg recently received
a warrant for $4,000 as his fee in the
case. In view of the legal standing
the charge was regarded as unusually
reasonable.
Another fee of $4,000 was paid the
special assistant of the attorney gen
eral. 1t is not expected that the
Northern Security case will cost any
thing additional The hearing before

ably will be brief.

COULDN'T BEAR CRITICISM


Prescott Spectator:-A a meeting
of the county board Of equalization the
other morning, the commissioners
were discussing what they evidently
considered the egregious impertinence
on the part of the Statesman and
Union in reporting the fact that the
commissioners had reduced the as
sessment against the w. & C. R. main
line from $3.50 per mile to $4,000
One commissioner relieved himself by
expressing the wish that we could
send the whole bunch of newspaper
reporters off to the mountains" This
idea met the approval of the rest of
the board and as they hadn't anything
else to do, the board entered on ami
mated discussion upon the dement's
of the press in general It is a poor
recommendation for public officials
when they would have their official
acts hidden away from public view
and would deny the open and free crit
icism of the same. The honest Off
cial has nothing to fear from the
criticism of the public press.
