Estimate BY Prominent
Farmers and Dealers.
WILL TAKE ANOTHER MONTH YET
Little Doing in Local Market, Farmers
Believing That Prices Will
Advance Soon.

Fifty per cent of Walla Walla
rounty's wheat crop harvested and in
the sack, was the estimate advanced
by prominent farmers and dealers to-
day. Another month must be cOnsum-
ed to place the 1903 crop under cover.
In the Eureka fiat belt, heading is
practically finished and threshing will
be commenced next week where COM
bined harvesters are not being used.
Around Lee station headers are still
being run in the fields OF the Uptons,
Babcock, Struthers and Hoffman but
the work, with fair weather, is expect
ed to be completed by Saturday.
In the foothill district harvest is
considerably in advance of the fiat
district and another ten days will
practically see every field denuded of
its crop and the grain on the way to
the warehouses. Out in the Prescott
neighborhcod harvest is in full blast.
Ten days more will be required to fin

Bluestem was quoted around 20
cents today and club at IS, wheat on

ed somewhat owing to the periodical

ciaI Review says values are inflated
The week has passed without any
startling developments in the wheat
situation here, or any sign of an early
active shipping business. Harvesting
is progressing in all directions and
the reports from the harvest fields are
not very Gathering. few unlmport-
ant sales have been made during the
week to millers. and these at prices
entirely too high for exporters to at
tempt to secure Offerings recently
have been very small and demon
strates that the wheat is practically
all sold New wheat has hardly as
yet been offered for sale; farmers
ideas as to values are greatly inflated
and they show very little disposition
TO meet buyers IDEAS as to values
This position must in the end result
disastrously to the selling interest
Farmers and sellers must bear in mind
that prices here are subject to selling
values in Europe, cost of freight and
insurance added, and that exporters
take all the risk attached to the export
business. 1t is well known that pres
ent bids put out are much above a
parity with selling prices abroad fully
cents per bushel, and unless a reac
ton sets in there will be very little
business done early this season. The
movement of new wheat to tidewate1
has as yet not set in, and very little
has gone to interior warehouses. AS

ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT OF GOVERNOR BAILEY.
The Eagle elsewhere refers the fact that it stood
SO far as had observed alone in its opposition to any
attempt upon the part the legislature to make good
the property destroyed by the food and in its endorse
nent of Governor Baeys subsequent attitude, but quot
ing as an exception the Leavenworh Times Later comes
the Ell Dorado Republican with the following as its
editors conclusions OF the matter:
Governor Bailey did the best he could. There was
hysterical demand special session and million
dollars appropriation relief Of the drowned cut
district: and in a week this demand became chronic.
Then there was an insistence that developed into roar
that no session should be held appropriation made
and what was the governor do? His sense of justice
suggested a special session In a multitude Of council
there is wisdom The governor is the law-makng
power He issued the proclamation the legislature con-
vened and there are 165 members who elected TO
make the laws The governor did not elect them and
they are not in any way responsible to him for what
they do These 65 members refused TO pass appropr
alton bill for the food sufferers that is all there is
to it. Governor Bailey did his duty like man. and not
particle Of blame can to him for the action
or non-acon of the legislature The governor is very
level headed sort of a man. besides he is eminently
practical He is not given getting excited to slop
ping over He called legislature in session because
public and when he did this he shifted the
sponsbility the executive to the legislative de
partment The legislature after passing number OF
enabling acts adjourned and returned home And that
is all there is to it. Ard all this roar about Governor
Bailey being responsible is brutal The governor did
his duty and shoad be commended not condemned
for it"

GOVERNOR RAILEYs FLOOD ATTITUDE.

The Eagle has stood alone in its defense of Governor
Baleys policy with reference relief and
what the state should have done While the Eagle
opposed converting of the legislature session
convinced that the legislature could nothing effectively

ton and for the that the immediate relief Of the
first awful hours had been supplied and after sum
which the Legislature could appropriate Or provide

up and dotn the Arkansas river valley the shocked

The following editorial from the Leavenworth Times

Historical Note.

Adelaide enjoys the distinction Of be-
the Oldest municipality in Australia.
1t was named after the queen of William
w., in whose reign it was founded, and
its principal thoroughfare bears the
name of King William street. It's Oldest
newspaper, the South Australian Regis
ter, was first published in London as the
organ of the South Australian associa-
ton, the body under whose auspices the
pioneer settlers and founders of Adelaide
were dispatched from England. The
pioneer colonists were in sore straits,
when valuable copper mines were luck
lily discovered near Adelaide. The late
Sir George Grey, who was appointed its
governor at the early age of 20, material
ly helped to pull the place out of the
slough of despond and rescued the in

STAFF AND LINE.
One Does the -.Housekeepins, of the
Army and Other Does the
FirhtinE

This is an age of specialists, it is
often remarked, and all modern ten
denotes are toward specialization. So
largely true is this that the important
change in the organization Of the
army, embodied in the recently insti-
tuted general staff system" may be
regarded as an interesting exception,
says Youths Companion.
officers of the quartermaster's, sub
sistence, medical, pay, ordnance and
other departments which have to do
with the housekeeping" and equip
ping of the army are known as 1.-The
staff,' while those who, as attached to
definite commands, would in time of
war see fighting service in the field are
known as "the line"
Army officers in the past usually
made their career in the branch of the
service in which they entered. This
will necessarily continue to be the case
with the surgeons, chaplains, dentists,
engineers, veterinarians, signal officers
and most of the paymasters. But for
several of the other staff departments
officers will be detailed for four
years term, after which they must re-
turn, for a time at least, Ito their col
ors." 1t is hoped by this system to
bring about more unity of action in the
military establishment, and a better
welding of it's various parts.
1t has been argued that officers after
long service in staff corps get out of
touch with the real life of the army.
Much of the work has been at Wash
ington, where they have escaped the
hardship and privation of actual war.
Perhaps as result of these conditions
considerable friction has always exist
ed between "the line and the staff"
The new plan is essentially like that
which Won Moltke worked out for the
German army. Since the new law went
into operation we have had no gen
eral commanding the army" but in
stead chief of the staff, whose duty
it is to act as the immediate adviser of
the secretary of war. In time of hos
tilities, however, the president, who is
by the constitution commander in chief
OF the army, might place the whole
force under a single commander, if it
was found necessary.
