Four Walla Walla people are in Jail

Surveys on WaIIa WaTa
River Completed.
TRANSFERRED TO MILL CREEK
northwestern Gas and Electric Com
pany's Engineers Continue Pre-
Imnary Work for Plant.

The party of surveyors who have
been making preliminary surveys or
the Walla Walla river for the pipe
line of the new power plant of the
Northwestern Gas and Electric COM
pany have finished their work and
been transferred to upper Mill creek tc
do some work above the company's
old power plant.
The work on the Walla Walla river
has been under way for several months
and in all three distinct routes for the
proposed pipe line have been surveyed
one ending on the Roberts ranch, an
other on the Hogan place a mile lower
down. and the third at a point two
miles above the Neibergall place. The
reports of the surveyors have been
filed with the company and selection
Of site for the proposed plant is eX-
pected to be made some time next
month.
Cyrus w. Pierce. of Philadelphia,
who negotiated the bonds of the com
pany and is largely interested in the
corporation arrived in the city this
morning from Boise City in company
with Vice President Isaac Anderson,
aud spent the day looking over the
proposed plans of the company. Mr..
Pierce in conjunction with Mr.. An
derson and other eastern capitalists
have just negotiated the purchase of
the Boise Rapid Transit company.
The fact that Mr.. Pierce is becoming
interested in western electric railway
projects lends color to the rumOr that
the local company is behind the cleo
trio railway scheme for Walla Walla
which Vice President Anderson deClar-
ed upon his return from the East
would be built in this city within the
next two years. Mr.. Pierce was clos
eted with the officials of the company
pretty much all day and it was impos-
sible to secure an interview with him
on the proposed plans of the company.

PORCH CLIMBERS ENTER HOUSE
Eobs House of Sigmund Frank at
Portland.

PORTLAND, Or.-While Sigmund
Frank & Co, was dining with men,
bers Of his family at the fine Frank
residence Tuesday evening, a porch
climbing burglar entered the house
through an upstairs window and stole
a collection of diamonds valued at
$4,000.
The inmates of the house were not
aware that anyone had entered the
residence. and not until a member OF
the family retired to his room was the
burglary discovered. The police We're
Immediately notified. but until late
hour had found no clew to the burg
lar.
The work closely resembles the work
of the porch climbing burglars who
have been working in the Sound cities
and is the boldest crime that has oc-
Cured in Portland for some time
While the members of the household
were gathered at dinner they left the
lights burning upstairs, so that the
rooms were brilliantly lighted. The
pillars to the front porch are large
and strong and a lattice work formed
q crude ladder, up which the burglar
climbed.
1t is the opinion of those in the
house that the burglar did not stay
but a few minutes, as the diamonds
were in plain sight of him as soon as
he entered. After he had secured the
plunder he did not wait to descend
the pillar. but jumped to the ground
The detectives discovered the prints
of his feet where he had jumped.

ConstitutiOnaIity of legis, .
Iative Act Sustained.
SUPREME COURT HOLDS II GOOD
litigants Who Desire Jury Trial Must
Deposit the Sum of Twelve
Dollars in the Court.

The supreme court has declared con-
stitutional and valid the so-called $13
jury fee law passed by the last legis-
lature, which made the failure of a lit
igant to deposit the sum of $12 adj
vance fees a waiver of the right Of
jury trial in civil cases. From the
time of its passage the law has been
attacked, and there We're many that
believed it would not stand the test of
the courts. The supreme court holds.
however, that, as the law imposes no
sense the right of trial by jury remains
lnViOlate as before its passage. The
measure was attacked by reason of al
| legged repugnance to section II, article
! | of the state constitution. which pro-
vides that the right of trial by jury
Shall remain inviOlate. but the legisla-
ture may provide for the waving Of
jury in civil cases, where the consent
of the parties interested is given
thereto"
The validity hinged on whether the
consent referred to should be Eek
pressed only. or should include i'm
piled consent" it being construed that
= failure to deposit the fee under the
law would be implied consent to the
waiver. The opinion goes into an ex-
hauStiVe discussion of the various au-
thorities, arriving at the conclusion
that the word consent should be con-
srued in its broadcast sense, and under
that Interpretation holds that the leg
iSlature had the power to enact the
law.

WANT A NEW CHARTER.
Business Men Of Dayton Petition &c
Discard Old Charter.

DAYTON, Wash, Dec. 1S.-At the
city council meeting held last Monday
a petition signed by $50 taxpayers was
presented asking the city council &c
call a special election SO that the peo-
pie could vote on the question of, the
adoption of the state charter for third
class cities. The petition was referred
to the committee on ways and means
to report at the next meeting.
The question of discarding the
present charter and the adoption of the
state charter has been under cons1d-
Grafton by the business mems associa-
ton for the past two months, and after
investigating the matter thoroughly
and weighing the benefits and powers
of the two charters, decided in favor
of the state charter. A petition OF TINS
kind only requires the signatures OF
80 taxpayers, but nearly double the
number was readily secured in a few
hours work.
While the first O. r. & \. train COM
ing toward Dayton Wednesday morn
ing was approaching Prescott, DOH
in the interior workings of the engine
broke, bringing the train to StandStl
in a hurry. They We're going at SLOW
rate of speed and a serious accident
was aVerted. Engineer Jones took the
machine apart, disconnected the port
cylinder and came on to Dayton using
only one side of the engine, arriving
here a couple Of hours late. BY the
time the afternoon train was due an
other engine was received.

ROCKEFELLER A HIGHWAYMAN

CHICAGO, Dec. Esther is no
difference in principle between hold
ing up a nation for S1,000.000 at the
mouth of a pipe line and holding up an
individual at the muzzle of gun for
what he has on his person."
THE man who is looked on as the
most successful man in the country
is, in the last analysis. a gambler or
highway rObber. He is not even a
creator of money, much less of man
hood, but a highway bandit who has
held up producers and public for mil
lions.
The hero of boys used to be Napo-
leon. We have made little progress in
Christianity when the hero of boys of
today is John D. Rockefeller or j.
PierpOnt Morgan"
This is what the Rev. Joseph f.
Vance, pastor of the Hyde Park Pres
oyteriOn church told his audience in
the course Of a sermon on the Chicago
reign Of crime.
John d. Rockefeller and J. Pier
pont Morgan and men of their class in
the financial world are really RESPONSE
ole for such a reign of crime as now
exists in Chicago" said Dr. Vance.

Oriental View of Womanhood.

From the Household.
The oriental Idea of the freedom which
American women enjoy does not accord
with that of Americans. One Hindoo lady
expressed herself as greatly shocked that
American men should compel their women
to go about in public unprotected, their
faces exposed to the gaze of strangers, and
Hfndoo gentleman with whom We talked
thus expressed himself on the subject of
oriental treatment of women:
You say that We do not honor our wo-
men. Why, let me tell you that all Hindoo
boys, till they are ready to learn the ways
of men, are taught by their mothers. We
are subject to our mothers and we know
what you occidentals do not yet seem to
realize, that to have good men and good
citizens we must have good mothers. You
will hardly find a Hindoo man, whatever
his caste, daring to go against the counsel
of his mother. Can you say as much for
American men?'
Could as much, do our readers think, be
said for American men? There are no
asylums for helpless fathers and mothers
in the orient. So long as there is a corner
and a crust to be shared, the parents in
the oriental family have the lions share.
