BOARD OF TRUSTEES ARE UNDE-
clOED REGARDING CARNEGIE
LIBRARY BUILDING.
Construction May Be Held Up Until
Next sprins-WiIl Not Again
Alter Plans.

The Carnegie library trustees are
determined that Walla Walla shall
have a beautiful building. They held
a meeting yesterday afternoon to open
bids on the revised plans which had
been submitted TO contractors. Only
one bid, that of Charles Halter. was
received and that was rejected be-
cause it was TOO higl. 1t has not
been decided yet whether to extend
the time Tor bids or hold the matter
over until next spring. 1t is thought
by the trutsees the reason that there
was only one bid, is the fact that it
is the extremely busy season for con-
tractors and they have been unable to
refeure with care. Whatever is done
tle trustees are determined that the
building shall be one of which Walla
Walla will be proud.
Statesman reporter this morning: we
propose to get the building as pro-
posed for the people OF Walla Walla if
there is any way Of doing it. A beau
tiful building is an education in itself.
aside from its being public library.
1t is our intention to build the struc-
ture within the money, but we do not
propose to alter the plans.
The committee viii decide shortly
whether to call for more bids or hold
the matter in allegiance until spring.

THEIR ENORMOUS
DAILY OUTPUT
The Central Michigan Produce
Co. Doing a Big Business and
Prospects OF More.
SIX THOUSAND POUNDS
OF CREAMERY BUTTER
The Product Finds Ready Market al
Boston and New York.

A feeling Of satisfaction and Of time
we'll spent always accompanies one
after visit to the Central Michigan
Produce Co.'S plant, and the courtesy
and accommodation of its manager, e..
II. LaFlamboy, makes it decidedly in
structive as well.
This plant has made wonderful strides
toward success in its two years OF exist
ance adding new machinery and i'm
proved methods, increasing its force of
workers, and making other improve
ments for the convenience and better
ment Of their customers.
The first thing that impresses itself
upon the visitor is the cleanliness that
prevails throughout the entire institu-
ton. The strictest sanitary rules are
in evidence in every department, and
the great vats OF cream and long rows
OF tubs filed with butter take on very
palatable appearance. and one is seized
with an irresistible desire to taste it.
Two new Pennington ripeners with
capacity Of one thousand pounds OF
butter fat and costing 1870 piece " hich
have just arrived and are ready for in
stallation in the factory, will greatly
increase the present daily output OF g.
900 pounds OF the finest creamery butter
The cream for this great amount OF
butter is furnished by more than ITO
farmers, aud over 800 pounds Of dairy
salt is used daily in the finished pro-
duct. From the time the cream enters
the building until the butter is ready
for shipment it is under the watchful
supervision of their expert butter maker,
Herman Ribald.
Most Of this butter finds market in
Boston and several car loads of creamery
aud dairy butter are sent weekly to
that market, which arrives there in
forty eight hours from the time il leaves
the company 5 building.
Great quantities Of eggs are also
shipped 60 Boston and New York, the
average shipment being three cars per
I day.

PRENEDITATED MURDER. SUICIDE
and ATTEMPTED ASSAULT
John Rausenberger Shot Mrs. Elsie
Martin Twice and Then Killed
Himself.

One Of the most tragic affairs which
has happened in this vicinity for many
years occurred at the Granger dairy farm
2 l-2 miles southeast Of ALMA, about two
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, when John
Rausenberger shot Mrs. Elsie Martin
twice. and then took his own life.
Mrs Martin lies i'm critical condi.
ton, with an ugly wound in her chin
and upper lip and three teeth missing
and Rausenberger was found lying
partially under bed upstairs with %
great hole bored in his forehead, and
still grasPing the gun with which he
committed the dastardly deed
The circumstances attending the
murderous assault and suicide point to
clear case of bold premeditated
attempted criminal assault and murder.
aud the heroic struggles Of the unfort-
innate young lady are all that saved her
life.
Mrs Martin is the daughter Of Mrs.
Tom Granger, and at the time Of separaf-
ing from her husband about two yeai 8
ago, came with her little son to live with
her parents. She is nice looking young
lady, about 23 years Old aud of high
character and standing.
Rausenberger was employed as farm
hand and also drove Mr.. Granger 5
dairy wagon. lie was known in Alma
and vicinity as smoker John, and had
always been well regarded. No one
suspected that he was capable Of such a
dastardly deed as was committed by him
