contribute to the fund.
The city has been faid off in districts

cover all of Main street from Third
east to First; John G. Muntinga and
George Refer west on Main from
Third and Edwin S. Isaacs and Fred

IF the business men of WaIla Walla
will be liberal with their subscriptions
we will have one of the biggest cele-
brations ever held in Southeastern
Washington" said one of the commit
tee this morning. There is no reason
whatever why we cannot bring large
crowds to WalIa Walla from all over

new country and when seen this morn
ing by Statesman reporter he SAID:
Unless something unforeseen happens
to mar the prospects of the crops
Franklin county will gain a good name
as a wheat raising county this fall.
Even the wheat on the Ed Reser ranch
is equal to that of this country and II
is sod sowing too. The Reser ranch
comprises one section of land and l
think it will bear crop of 80 bushels
to the acre Older cultivated ground
is making a better showing. l have
40 acres in spring sown wheat and the
prospects are very good. On my ranch
| have a garden of over an acre, which
| think is as far along as any of the
gardens in this valley. Several small
orchards are being put out and they
all seem to be doing finely

Connecticut Democrats.

HARTFORD, Conn, May 5.-POliti-
clans and delegates from all over the
state are t1Ocking to town to attend
the democratic state convention,
which meets in the auditorium tonight.
Organization will be effected this eve
ming and adjournment then taken I'M
til tomorrow. The principal business
before the convention will be the Sc
lection of fourteen delegates to the
national convention at ST. Louis.
Hearst has made a strong fight
throughout the state, but the conserv
ative element claims today that it will
be able to control the convention and
to st. Louis instructed for Judge Par
ker. The Hearst delegates come from
Bridgeport New Haven, Waterbury,
Meriden and other mill towns, while
the rural districts and smaller towns
and several of the larger cities. in
Guiding Hartford. have sent delegates
to the convention opposed to Hearst.
1t is believed that if the first test vote
in the convention shows the Hearst
following that they lack a majority
they will not strive for an instructed
Hearst delegation, but will endeavor
to prevent Judge Parker from getting
an instructed delegation.

HARTMAN FILES
SECOND AMENDED BILL
1t Is Designed TO Meet Points Raised in
Recent Northern Securities Hearing

TRENTON, NasJs June 6.--Counsel for
Edward H. Hartman and WinsIow s..
Pierce today filed in the United States
circuit court a second amended bill in the
suit brought by them to restrain the
carrying out of the proposed pro rata plan
of distribution of the assets of the North
ern Securities company The amend
ments are intended to meet the points
raised at the recent argument of the case
before Judge Bradford. Counsel for the
Northern Securities company at that time
insisted that Hartman and Pierce.
through J. P Morgan & Co., had sold
their Northern 4Pacifc stock outright and
that they had no equitable right to have
the stock returned to them. Counsel for
Hartman and Pierce had argued that in
consequence of the supreme courts de-
cision against the Northern Securities
company the stock of the Northern Pa
cific had never legally passed to that
company.
1t was averred that it was well known
to all concerned that the Northern Sc
curities company was formed solely for
the purpose of acquiring and holding the
stock of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern and operating these roads joint
~, and that this understanding eonstitut-
ed in law the Northern Securities company
as custodian of the stocks of the two
railroads of the original owner rather
than an absolute owner itself of the stock.
