commenced against Jacob Hergert,
John Fries, Philip Fries. Jacob Nntz
and Conrad Real to restrain them
with interfering with the affairs of the
church. Today the defendants filed an

turing center and advertising the vir

The car load shipment was made
possible by the arrival from the east of

a measure will clean up a portion of a
large number of orders received for the
machine in the Wasco country. In
addition to the car about II machines

1T is getting to be a serious mat
ter of manufacturing enough machines
to supply the orders we are receiving"
Secretary Holt said this morning when
telling of the car load shipment next
Thursday. 1T is seldom that a farm
machine is placed on the market that
has the good merits of the Washington
Weeder and it seems that the farm
ers of the Inland Empire are recognize
ing this fact as we have been way be-
hind in our orders.
Our present force of Is men will
soon have to be Increased and this
means additional floor space and ma
chinery. The machine is becoming

c. e. Short Protests Against PubIica
ton of Statement.

c. E. Short and A. NJ. Bodwell, two
members of the party who visited the
saloons. ice cream parlors and cigar
stores Sunday night protest against
the statement that they had said in
one place that they would see that the
Sunday closing law was enforced if
they had to resort to pistols, which
was publised yesterday. In an inter-
view this morning Mr.. Short said:
I'VE do not represent any temper
ance society or any organization, but
simply made an investigation Sunday
evening as individuals. We are acting
in good faith in this matter and are
doing only what we deem to be our
duty as good citizens of Walla Walla.
We visited 81 saloons Sunday night
and entered 33 of them. In some Of
the places we only found the prOprie-
tor present, but in others there were
from two to % persons who were
drinking liquor. We believe the law
is being violated and it is our opinion
that it should be enforced In almost
every place we visited we were kindly
received by those in charge of the
places. We wish, however. to state
that the statement that we would use
pistols if it became necessary to en-
force the law, as being wholly un-
true"
