THE STUBBLEFTELD HOME.

1t is to be hoped that the trustees
of the Stubblefeld estate will accept
the II 2-5th acres rendered them by
the city council and the residence
property offered them by the LADIES
Relief Society as fulfilling the require
ment in the Stubblefield will for a
$4,000 endowment. The time in when
the bonus may be raised expires today
and so far as the council is concerned
nothing more can be done, as one days
notice must be given for any special
meeting. There can be no question
that within a few years the land offer
ed by the city will be worth $1,000 an
acre for residence lots 1t lies just east
of McCabe's WATERFOWL addition, in
which lots are now selling as high as
$3.50, The land rendered should be
worth fully $4,000 now and the prop
erty offered by the Ladies' Relief So
cietv is easily worth $500 more, thus
making the full amount of $4,000 re-
uuired by the will as a condition of the
location of the home in or near Walla
Walla.
The executors of the will would GER
tainly not be justified at this late day
in rejecting these offers and in lOcat-
ing the home in some town where no
bonus will be required under the terms
of the will. If the institution proves
to be the success that it's founder con-
templated, it will receive other dona-
lions from private and public sources
from time to time that will far over
balance any possible shortage in the
bonus now offered.
1t will be a credit to Walla Walla to
be the location of this noble charity
and it would be a bitter disappoint-
ment among a large majority of our
people to see it go elsewhere now be-
cause of any resentful spirit on the
part of the trustees toward the city
council or any member of it for not
complying exactly with the conditions
laid down by the executors of the Will
Although two of the trustees reside
across the Oregon line. all three of
them look upon Walla Walla as their
home town and they have shown an
earnest desire from the beginning to
have the home located here. Pride in

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

Now that the Stubblefield matter
has been disposed of so far as the
council is concerned, steps should be
taken to submit the water question to
the voters without further delay. It
would be we'll if the council could
agree upon some such common sense
plan as that of Mr.. Glasford and there
would be no doubt of its endorsement
by the people. However, If an agree
ment cannot be reached upon this or
any other reasonable plan the council
should submit the Thomas springs
plan and the Weile Mill creek plan to
the voters and allow them to decide
which they will have. The Statesman
prefers the Thomas springs plan ad-
vocated by Councilman Glasford, as
1t believes that eventually it would in
clude the plan of water development
proposed by Councilmen Smith and

THE YATES SLUSH FUND.

In contradiction of Governor Yates
of Illinois, disgruntled employees Of
state institutions declare that they
have been assessed for campaign pur-
poses. The charge seems to have very
concrete foundation, being based upon
the statements of several individuals
who are connected both with the Pom
tiac reformatory and the Southern IL
linois penitentiary. Among others, T.
J. Holloman, a Civil War veteran, said
to the Chicago Record Herald that he
was dismissed by Warden J. B. Smith,
because he declined to pay the assess
ment. At Pcntilc the assessment is
aVerred to emo mt to $50 per en-
ploye whose salary is $50 a month or
more, to be paid in consecutive months
in two instruments of SIS each and
one of $40.
Everybody cognizant of the Yates
machine' methods believes that the
money has been levied even as other
'slush funds" have been levied be-
fore. The Indictment is strong against
the dominant regime and thus far all
the evidence supports it. If he would
refute the charge, Governor Yates will
have to adduce more than he has
vouchsafed up to date.
1t will not do to declare pom honor
that he wots not of slush funds. For
him and his henchmen who all bunch
up into the machine" the thing to do
is to prove to the satisfaction of the

Freeze UP STOPS THE FALL
SEEDING OF WHEAT ON
THE FLAT.
Many Farmers Will Take Chances on
Spring Sown Grain if Cold
Snap Holds On.

Farmers Of the lighter land and Eu-
reka fiat wheat belt are viewing the
present freeze-up with anything but
equanimity With less than forty per
cent of the acreage seeded down to
fall wheat operations have been sud-
denly discontinued owing to the cold
snap and unless more favorable
weather conditions prevail within an
other week many of the farmers will
make no effort to get their land seeded
down, preferring to wait till spring and
take chances on a favorable season for
spring wheat rather than risk sowing
at the present time.
The danger of being compelled to
reseed and to take the chances Of the
weeds getting a firm foOthold again
has caused the majority of the big
their wheat in to suspend operations
until spring." Lum Hale, one of the
big Eureka flat farmers in Walla Wal
la today, said this morning. Il have
laid off for the winter and many others
in my section have laid off their seed
ing gangs.
IF the present cold snap had held
off for a week or ten days nearly ev-
cry acre that was to be seeded down
this fall would be ready for frigid
weather but under present conditions
it is impossible to do anything, and
take chances on a spring crop. If
there happens to be normal precipita-
ton during the winter months and
early spring, there is little doubt that
the farmers will come out as well as if
they had been able to get their full
wheat in besides there is the danger
of having to reseed eliminated.'
In the Touchet district pretty much
the same conditions prevail. Early in
the fall it was too dry to seed down
the land with any degree of safety and
the intervening time between the late
rains and the freeze-up was too short
to admit of but a small percent of
the acreage being seeded down. Far
mers of the foot hill district have been
more fortunate and it is believed but
a very small percent of the acreage
in that section remains unseeded.

BEN GROSSCUP'S REWARD.

AS a reward for defeating the rail-
way commission bin and for aiding in
the election of Levi Ankeny to the
United States senate, Ben Grosscup, OF
Tacoma, attorney for the Northern
Pacific railroad and head OF the rail-
road lobby, has been promised fed
eral judgeship. Senators Ankeny and
Foster, both of whom owe their cleo
ton to Grosscup, have promised to
have a bill passed by congress divid-
ing this state into two judicial dis
tricts in order to give the railway at
torney one of them. Peter S. Cross
cup, a brother of our Ben, is a fed
eral judge in Chicago and he has made
some notable decisions against the
great corporations. His views regard
ing the proper regulation Of corpora
tons and the suppression of monOpo-
lies are radically different from those
of his western brother. If the new
judgeShip should be created according
to program and Ben GrOsScup should
be appointed to fill it by President
Roosevelt, it would cast a doubt upon
the sincerity of the administrations

Bower. The total cost of this plan
would not exceed 100000, while the
Mill creek scheme, if filtration beos
we're provided would cost at the outset
$3.50 600 and eventually not less than
800 600 more for the settlement OF
riparian rights.
If the purpose of the delay in sub
hitting the question to the people Is
to make the people so fearful OF
water famine that they will accept
even the Mill creek plan, which would
involve the abandonment OF the city
valuable rights at Thomas springs, the
scheme will fail There is no real
danger Of water famine, as the pres
ent source of supply is sufficient Tor
all the needs of consumers below How
ard street and if it should run short,
Mill creek is always available as
supplementary source or supply.
Above Howard street the pumping
station supplies large district. and
in the districts not supplied water can
be found from five to ten feet below
the surface as good and pure as that
which would be furnished to the whole
city under the Weile bankruptcy plan.
If the people are given fair chance
to choose between the Thomas springs
plan and the Weile Mill creek plan they
will settle the question in short order
and work on the new system can be
begun in time to bring the water to
the city for use in the dry season next

DR., CANDLES LECTURES.
DRAWING Large Crowds-Deep Inter.
est Being Manifest by the
People.

Editor Statesman:
Under the auspices of the Ministerial
Union Of this city, the Rev. S. w.
lectures on the Sabbath question at
the First NJ. E. church. A good at
tendance and a deep interest Indicate
the growing success of the lectures.
The doctor has taken some startling
texts but in a convincing manner he
thoroughly upholds the positions he
has taken. For example, he has shown
thus far, that Sunday was the crea-
ton Sabbath, and not Saturday, as is
put forth by Seventh Day Adventists.
made by the Adventists or Saturdar-
ians themselves. He does this, too,
with all due courtesy to them, and re-
spect for the sincerity which they
show. He proved in the early lee
lures of the week that Saturday was
not the seventh day mentioned in
Gen. 1928, and that it did not pass
down uninterruptedly through all ma
tons from Adam to Moses, but that
the creation Sabbath, Sunday was
lost in the confusion of tongues at
Babel to all the world, with the pos
Sible exception of the Hebrews, and
that they could not have kept it while
slaves in Egypt. For during a period
forced to keep Friday, the Egyptian
Sabbath. On their exodus they made
Saturday their Sabbath, and observed
this until the true creation of Saba tn
the lost Sabbath-which was Sun
day, was revealed to them at Mt.
Sinai, Sunday morning the 5th day of
the month Swan in the year of the
exodus.
Last night DR.. Gamble constructed
the true Bible character. proving it
to be a solar and not a lunar calendar.
He showed. too that the 10th, 18th
and 10th days of the month Abb were
never Sabbaths, though they often
fell on Saturday, but that they were
Christ, because it was divinely ap-
pointed that they should be labor or
work days in every year. He proved
further, that thirteen fixed dates were
weekly Sabbath days in every year,
and that six days of labor preceded
every one Of them, and every other
Sabbath day. These Sabbaths being
on the same fixed dates every year,
the day of the week on which they
were observed changed every year and
therefore from Moses till Christ, chang
ed as often as there were years be-
tween the exodus and the crucifixion.
Tonight the lecture will deal with
Sabbath counting during the public
ministry of Christ. 1t will show that
day in the year of Christs baptism,
that from the first pentecost to the
second, Sabbath fell on Thursday,
from the second to the third it fell on
Friday, and that from the last pente-
cost in Christs ministry to the cruel
fixion Cor seven weeks less than a
year, that it fell on Saturday.
Before each lecture any questions
handed in in writing will be cheerfully
answered. The public is invited
There is no charge of admissions

course of lectures will continue tonight
and Friday and will be completed
