WHLlA WAlLA COUNTY MAY
MAKE EXHIBIT o. FRUITS
AND GRAINS.
Commercial Club Committee Is Now
Considering Plans for Advertis-
ing Resources Of Valley.

The special committee which was
appointed some time ago by Presi-
dent Harry II. Turner of the CONNER
cial club to take up the proposition
Of having a Walla Walla county ex-
hibit at the Lewis and Clark exposi-
ton next year, will make report at
the next meeting of the club. 1t is
said that the committee is in favor of
the proposit on and the club will be
asked to make some provision to
carry into effect the plans that will
be suggested by the committee. AS
the state of Washington failed to make
an appropriation for state exhibit
each county will have to handle its
own exhibits, if any are made.
While in the city yesterday }. +.
Marshall. commissioner of the expo
siton, said that the fair would GER
tainly be a great success. Very few
people in the west realized what great
results will be attained through the
holding of the fair. He had made a
tour of many of the western states,
and everywhere he found the people
evincing much interest in the expo
sition. In almost every state that he
visited the leading commercial bodies
l1-
ing to advertise their resources. The
state governments were also taking
active interest and the officials We're
talking Lewis and Clark fair at every
opportunity.
"A great many people have the opin-
ion that the fair was gotten up simply
for the purpose of building up Port
land" said Mr.. Marshall. That inn
preston is very erroneous, to say the
! least While of course the city OF

HAVE SECOND EXAMINATION.
State Superintendent of School:
Makes New Order.

For the first time in the history of
the state of Washington, students who
failed to pass from the eighth grade
to any of the nigh schools will be given
In the past those failing to attain
passing grade in the May examina-
tions have been denied another oppor
tunity until the following January. An
order received at the county superln-
tendent's office from the state super
intendent of public instruction makes
it imperative on all county superin-
tendents to examine those candidates
who present themselves for the eighth
grade examinations on September l
hereafter.
The object of the change is to give
those who have been unsuccessful a
chance to study during the vacation
time and enter the high schools in the
fall without waiting a whole year. In
addition to the September eXamlna-
ton. one will be held the third Thurs
day of next January and one on the
third Thursday of next May. All can
didates for the September examination
will he REQUIRED to show the county
superintendent that they have COM
pleted the subjects in which they Will
be examined.

Several members of the city govern

but is in a sanitarium in the city suf-
fering with nervous prostration, which
cannot be treated at home because Of
domestic difficulties. Yesterday the
wife consulted an attorney with a view
of starting a suit for divorce and d
division of the property. Mrs. Pear
son is stricken with Mysteries at her
home. and does not talk conerently of
her husbands absence.

wire ten days ago. His friends say the
nervous u~ostration was brought on
bv the electricity. He is a democratic
member of the city council from the
Fifth ward. and was formerly loco
motive engineer.

HEARST HAS COSTLY
HOBBIES
Yellow Journals and PreSi-
Dental Ambition Take
Lots of Cash

Walter Wellman, writing to the
Chicago Record Herald from Wash
irgton, says:
Since the first of January w. r.
Hea. st has spent in his pursuit of the
presidency an average of about s15.00O
a day This statement was made to
me in New York last week by man
who is in position to know what he is
talking about, as he is well informed
as to what is going on in Mr.. Hearst's
newspaper offices and political shop.
Fifteen thousand dollars a day for
about a hund ed days amounts to a
round million and a half dollars, not
the first Of the year. This IS pretty
hcEvy investment In the fad of a
young man who has been accustomed
to buy whatever he wanted In this
world, and there may be some truth
in the rumors flying about New York
city that Mr.. Hearst is pretty near the
end OF his rope. so far as ready money
is concerned. For all this enormous
outlay the self made candidate has to
show UP to date just thirty-two dele
gates to the national democratic con-
vention. He may possibly be able to
bag a hundred more. though that
would appear to be about the limit of
his possibilities. Give him a total of
$50 delegates and reckon his expendi-
lures at only the million and a half
of dollars which his people say he has
spent since the first of the yea~, and
1t will be seen that when he gets to
ST. Louis and looks over his array of
followers in the convention he will
find that they have cost him $4,000
apiece. Considering that these dele
gates will number only about one
seventh of the entire voting strength
of the convention, it may be doubted
If even Mr.. Hearst will conclude that
they are wo- tn the money. True. he
has obtained a large amount of ad-
made very small progress toward the
goal of his hopes, the presidency of
the United States. Another bad feat
ure of the case is that after they have
delivered the goods" by voting for
Hearst on the first ballot, most OF
these delegates, following the usual
bent of such, will refuse to stay
bought aand make haste to get on
some other candidates band-wagon
