GAVE HIMSELF AWAY.


When Thomas drove up to deliver
the usual quart of white mixture,
the gentleman of the house blandly
inquired
Thomas, how many quarts of
milk do you deliver daily to your
customers ?"
"Ninety-one, sir."
"And how many cows have you 7"
Nine, sir.
The gentleman made some remarks
about an early spring and the state of
the roads, and then asked
Thomas, how much milk per day
do your COWS average ?"
Seven quarts, sir. y
"Ah-uin p said the gentleman,
as he moved off.
Thomas looked after him, scratched
his head, and all at once grew pale
as he pulled out a short pencil and
began to figure on the wagon cover
"Nine cows is nine, and ! set down
seven quarts under the COWS and null
tiply. That's sixty-three quarts of
milk. I told him 1 sold ninety-one
quarts per day. Sixty-three from
ninety-one leaves twenty-eight and
none to carry. Now, where do l get
the rest of milk? I'll be hanged if
1 haven't given myself away to one
of my best customers by leaving
big cavity in the figures to be filled
with water !"

DREAMLAND PARK NOTES.

81 Greatly to the disappointment of
the public and the park management,
the high dive by Prof. Vaught failed
to come of Sunday afternoon. The
failure was caused by an insufiiciency
Of water to bring the pool up TO the
depth required. At the last hour
some person or persons unknown
turned the water from it's accustomed
channel and before it could be brought
back into the park again, it was too
late to attempt the dive. In spite of
the large crowd which was turned
away4 an attendance Of over 500 en-.
joyed the concert by the Ninth Cavalry
band. The high dive is postponed UNI
til next Sunday, August 2, when it will
positively come OF, as a tank is. being
prepared, lined with tin that will be
trimming with water by Friday in
readiness for the act.
Wednesday evening the regular
dance will come off.
A fine three months old black bear
was added to the collection of ami
mails Sunday.
Tie Lake and Garrison creek exist
only in name at the present but the
former will soon be filed by the pow
er pump.

THE WALLULA DITCH.
y
Will Bring Under Cultivation Many
Acres of Desert Land.

John M. Hill, of the firm of Hill ami
Dickson, returned on the early morn
ing train Saturday from Wallula
where he went for the purpose Of
cruising the arid lands lying between
Wallula an the mouth of Snake river,
embracing township seven and eight,
range thirty lone, and that, part of
township eight. range thirty lying east
of the Columbia river. Mr.. fFili
stated to reporter for the States
man that he made thorough examin-
alton Of these lands, and that they
areaa as good if not superior; to the
lands on either side of the Kennewick
ditch on the west side of the Colum-
bia.
The proposed irrigation ditch which,
when completed will furnish water
for about $4,000 acres of these lands
is now being surveyed with view to
early completion of the sane by the
company that has it in charge sIn
Mr.. Hills opinion these lands when
covered by the proposed ditch will be
as valuable as any of the irrigated
lands in the Yakima or Kennewick
districts, and the markets will be
greatly superior on account of having
two competing lines of railroad in
close proximity. When asked if there
are any valuable lands subject to en-
! try in the townships mentioned, he
replied that there are few tracts
| one of two of which are very choice
but that the greater part of the lands
are already covered by desert land en-.
tries and contests. Mr. Hill thinks
the reclamation of this vast amount Of
land will greatly add to the taxable
property of Walla Walla county, and
that in point of value the east side OF
the county will no longer be so top
heavy.

NEGRO BANK OPENS.
Institution with a C0l0red Woman as
President Starts Business in
Richmond, Vffsinia.

RICHMOND, VA, November 12-Maggie
L. Walker, a representative negro, is
president of the St. Luke Savings Bank,
which began business here to-day.
As soon as the doors were thrown
open the depositors began to crowd
in, bringing sums ranging from 81
to many hundreds, and before the time
came for closing the sum aggregated near
ly SIS, 900. The chances are that it will be
largely increased within the next few
weeks, as the president and officers of the
bank possess the entire confidence of their
race as we'll as of the white people of the
community.
A peculiar feature was the presence of
depositors belonging to the Order of St
Luke from New York, New Jersey, Mary
land and Pennsylvania. Several leading
white citizens visited the bank during the
day and spoke words of encouragement
to the promoters. The institution starts
with capital stock of $50, 600.

In Behalf of Our Hemorrhagic Fever
Section.

EDITOR The BAMBERG HERALD:--Some
time ago Col. Jno. F. Folk wrote Gov.
Hayward regarding this particular fever,
with the hope, if I understand it, of get
ting some government aid for its preven-
ton. The matter was referred to DR..
Evans, secretary of the State board of
health, who attributed it to certain kind
of mosquito, and its prevention by wire
netting, isolating the patient, and the
destruction of the insects, etc. All very
good, but it stops short of what we want.
We want to prevent the production Of
the malarial poison so that the mosquito
nor the individual can get it.
The mosquito doesn't develop the ma
larial poisoning, it is only produced by
heat, moisture and vegetable decomposi-
ton. Therefore, if we will prevent this
process, we have no poison in the atmos-
phere or soil for the mosquito to get, nor
the individual from which the mosquito
inoculates another.
Heat we can't control, vegetation
will grow and die, but the moisture we
can by thorough drainage, and this sec.
ton certainly needs it, as it is interspersed
with ponds and stagnaht pools for con-
siderable area: Draining these thoroughly
will not only prevent the production Of
the malaria poison, but will prevent the
growth and development of the mosquito
also. E. KIRKLAND, NJ. D.
