AS a matter of fact, Naiche probab-

was such that he didn't purpose that
even the commanding general of the
United States army should pry into
his private affairs. He was willing
to make reasonable obesiance to his
rank, but would concede nothing to
his personal inqulsitiveness.

LITTLE JAPAN'S PERIL.

There is reason to believe that pug

assumption that England and France
would also take up arms to prevent
Russian aggression in Korea and Man

The Anglo-Japanese alliance is MOI
by any means sufficiently definite Of
itself to commit the British govern

Japan in such a conflict. and it is
extremely doubtful whether England
is ready for a war of such magnitude

A BIG APPLE CROP.
Growers Along WaIIa WaIla River
Will Harvest Thousands of DOL
lars Worth Again This Year,

If not literally rolling in wealth
fruit growers along the Walla Walla
river as far up as the Brinker place
are rolling in fruit of all varieties
which will tend to make times
flush along that turbulent stream
this fall. In spite of the fact that a
record breaking crop of apples and
prunes was harvested in that section
last year, just as large a crop will be
gathered again this year.
The apple crop of the river will
bring thousands of dollars to the
growers this fall. The fruit, unlike
that of the lower valley, is almost en-
tirely clean and will net the top price.
The old Brinker place now owned by
N. S. Sullivan and Adolph Schafer of
this city produced $1,000 crop of ap-
pies last year and the lessee expects
to reap similar sum from his trees
again this year. His prune crop
which is unusually large again this
year will net several hundred dollars
and the same is true of a score of
farms which stretch along the river
bank for dozen miles above Milton.
The success with which farmers
have met in fruit raising has suggest
ed to many that more fruit would
bring more money and these are set
ting about to add new orchards 10 the
old ones. In these will be included
the better varieties of apples, prunes.
cherries and peaches, while many will
plant berry bushes of all varieties.

East and to lessen the menace of the
Slav in India 1t must be remembered
that Japan found no friends to back
her up when, at the close of her vic
torious war with China, Russia seep-
ped in and virtually robbed her of
the fruits of victory.
Eevn less to be counted upon is
France, the soundest wisdom dicta-
tating for that country policy
which shall insure peace for years to
come, with possibility Of profiting
from wars between other powers
while she is regaining her old strength
and maintaining friendly relations
with all. The fact of the better feel
ing now existing between the French
and English people does not neces-
sarily mean a French willingness to
join in a war with Russia, with whom
not so long ago, she was on terms OF
the most enthusiastic and vOciferous
amity. Nor does Japan make an es-
pecial appeal to France as an ally,
save in extreme necessity.
Of course, should war between Rus
STA and Japan be the outcome of the
present crisis, all sorts of readjust-
ments and new alignments might re-
suit, but the likelihood of an Anglo
FrancO-JaOaneSe alliance is not so
strong as it should be to justify ia
pan in taking it for granted. The
yankees Of the Orient" are plucky
and ambitious race, but they should
restrain their warlike ardor just now.
Russia would like nothing better than
to provoke Japan into war at mo-
ment when British prudence and
French common sense forbid the
participation of those countries aka
Japan's allies.

ASSESSMENT OF BANK STOCK.

Last winter the bankers of the state
surreptitiously secured the passage
of a law that compels the assessor to
accent the banks statement as to the
market value Of its stock and to be
governed entirely by the banks books
in fixing the valuation of its holdings.
This provision was struggled into
bill that provided ostensibly for as
sessing all bank stock at its full
value" The law passed on the Sd OF
March and carried an emergency
clause. In this county the banks sue
ceeded in making the county and city
assessors believe that the new law
applied to this years assessment OF
bank stock, but in fact it does not.
Another law provides that the assess
ment shall be made on values as they
existed on March /. On that date the
new law had not gone into effect and
therefore bank stock should have
been assessed according to its mar
ket value under the old revenue law.
This would make the assessment
practically the same as that made by
Assessor Cadman last year.
The city council, which met as a
board of equalization last week, over
looked this point, perhaps Intentional
" as that body did not adhere to last
years assessment of bank stock, but
compromised at about sixty cents on
the dollar
The commissioners meet as a board
of equalization next Monday and it
will be their duty to restore the val
uation of bank stock to what it was
last year. Consistency will require
this attitude, as the county is now re
sisting a suit brought by the First
National Bank to enjoin the county
treasurer from collecting the tax or
it's stock levied by Assessor Cadmar
last wear. To allow the reduced as
sessment thi year would be to con
fess that last years assessment was
too high. The commissioners shout
bear in mind that the law on the first
day of last March was the same as {
year before and that there was no re
duction in the market value of banl
stock during the year.
1t is said that the county will SCOT
have to begin issuing warrants to pay
current expenses and it therefore be
hooves the commissioners to get al
the money that is legitimately coming
to the county. Standing pat on th'
assessment of bank stock under the
old law will be one long step alons
that line.

Japan's allies

The city council Of Spokane has &C
cepted Mr.. Campbells offer Of the
valuable Newberry site for the city
library building. The Woman's Read
ing Club of Walla Walla has offered
to raise the money for ten-thOusand
dollar library building in this city
provided the city council will donate
the site. 1t is splendid offer and
deserves praise and encouragement
The present location Of the library
is said to be unsatisfactory and there
does not seem to be much chance OF
getting a better one in rented quar-
tiers soon. AS Andrew Carnegie does
not seem to have Walla Walla on his
list for a library endowment, the
council should accept the proposition
of the Woman's Reading Club, if it
still holds good.

MAYOR BOYD'S PLAN.

Mayor Boyd of Spokane has issued
an order to the police department
making radical changes in the meth
DDS of handling the social evil. That
city collects all fines assessed against
immoral women instead of leaving
them to be grated for private benefit
as is done in some cities of the coun
try. The salient features Of Mayor
Boyis order are as follows:
First-That the owners of the build
ings rented for immoral purposes
shall be forbidden to charge exorbi
tant rentals. The details of arranging
a rental scale are left to the commits
sioners.
Second-That all houses of i'll fame
shall be confined TO the burnt dis
trict."
Third-That crib women who have
been paying SO a month fine to thC
city shall hereafter pay SIS, and thai
women living in parlor houses, who
now pay S., shall pay SO.
The mayor says that the new order
will increase the revenues of the city
$iO0 a month and at the same tins
protect the unfortunate women from
the extortions of some grasping land
lords who collect two or three dollars
day from crib women and as high
as $500 a month from the occupants
of parlor houses.

is alsc stated that Beavers since his
indictment has had a secret confer
ence with Postmaster General Payne
on the government vessel now used

Although Beavers was indicted about
ten days ago he has not yet been plac-
ed under arrest and it is doubtful
whether he will ever be brought to
trial, as he knows too much that
would involve higher officials of the
government.
When President Roosevelt returned
to the national capital from his west
ern trip he declared that the investi-
CATION of the postal frauds would be
prosecuted with vigor and that no
guilty man would be allowed to es-
cape. In view of that declaration the
suppression of news regarding the
investigation by the postmaster gen
eral looks very queer, to say the
least.
Can it be that the strenuous Thee
dore fears the effect of the revelations
that might be made upon his chances

as a reflection upon the administra-

However, Bristow found that Tulloch's
charges were true. Now Payne in

termined to have the whole truth.
Next year We shall have the old de-
mand for a look at the books and the
old cry of Turn the rascals out"
To forestall such a campaign Presi-
dent Roosevelt should adhere to his
determination to have a complete ex-
posture of all crookedness in the pos
tai department and thus clear himself
Of all moral responsibility for the
offenses of his subordinates. Other
wise he will be tainted with the scan
dal that now envelops the department
from top to bottom and it may prove
his political undoing.
