PROMOTER OF ELECTRIC LINE
SUDDENLY EXPIRED At
OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA.
with Death Goes the Big Scheme
That He Endeavored to
Carry Out

Heinrich Mellman, who is we'll
known in Walla Walla, in connection
with the electric railway project to
connect the cities and towns of south-
eastern Washington and eastern Ore
gon. dropped dead in Oakland. Cal
Monday afternoon. The information
Of his death was received this morn
ing by Garrecht & Dunphy, Mr.. Nell
mans local attorneys. in a letter writ.
ten to them by Charles Besserer.
Mellman first came to WaIla Wallo
about four years ago and announced
that he was at the head of corpora
ton that had under consideration a
scheme to construct and operate an
electric line from Pendleton. Or.
through the other towns of Umatilla
county to Walla Walla, and from this
city to Dayton. He remained here
quite time and finally secured rights
OF way from the counties for his pro-
posed road along the county highways.
From Walla Walla city he secured a
franchise over a large number of the
streets. AS guarantee that he would
construct the road in the prescribed
| time Mellman deposited with the city
Treasurer the sum of $4,000.
When the time for the completion Of
the road expired Mellman appeared
before the council and asked for an
extension of time. He claimed that
owing to financial conditions i'm the
east he was unable to secure sufficient
money to carry out the scheme. The
council. however. declared that in his
failure to do any work at all on the
proposed line he had not complied
with his contract, and the money was
declared forfeited. Last year he again
made another appeal to the council for
| an extension, and up to the present
| time the council has not officially an
nounced it's decision. His death will
| probably end the scheme

When Do State Officials Take Hold of
Their Offices.

There seems to be some misunder-
standing among the politicians as to
the date on which the state officers
take office and the date on which the
Legislature meets. 1t is provided i'm
the state constitution that the legsla-
ture shall meet on the first Wednesday
after the first Monday in January,
which will be January 4. The consti-
tuition also provides that the terms of
the governor and other state officers
shall begin nthe second Monday in
January. which will be January 8.

City Board Of Education Takes a Def
mite Stand on Truancy.

The city board of education has in
structed the truant officer to enforce
the provisions of the state truancy law
whenever he finds that is being ViO-
lated. This action was taken at a
meeting of the board held last night.
1t was reported to the board that there
were several fragrant cases where the
truancy law was being violated by
parents in Walla Walla and the board
is determined that stop shall be put
to 50 many children being kept away
from school.

SIMPLICITY OF THE sWEDEs
Every Privilege of the Men Is Ac-
corded To and Shared In
by the Women.

Sweden is called a Woman's paradise.
Women share every privilege offered
there to their husbands and brothers
and those who have to earn their llv-
ing find the doors of no profession shut
in their faces, says an exchange.
The fair sex inyades every public de-
partment. Women are the bank clerks
as well as the post office clerks and life
In a Swedish town is made pleasant for
the worker. Every day, for example, the
post offices are closed from to o'clock
and during that time the clerks may rest
or take part in some Of the many out
door games that are popular there.
The state interferes little with the lib
erty of the subject. Legal matters are so
arranged that the poorest man can hope
for justice at a small cost. Arbitration
Is held in high favor.
Stealing is rarely heard of and the
more serious crimes are almost I'M
known. The street cars have no con-
ductors to collect fare; each passenger
puts the money in a little box by the
door In places of amusement people
lanS LQelT mats anu eOaLS IN a large nall
and there is no attendant in charge of
valuable furs, often left to the mercy of
the passer-by.
Drunkenness is almost impossible, ow-
ing to the Draconian laws regulating
the sale of wine and spirits. No tobacco
can be purchased by boys.
Laborers are paid partly in money and
partly in goods. House servants are
poorly remunerated, according to the
scale of wages prevailing in America
A frst-class coachman gets but $50 a
year and the same sum satisfies a cook
housekeeper, who often has to manage
the whole of large establishment. On
the other hand, the head of the estate
IS expected to look after his people in
sickness and in health. He educates
their children, pays the doctor and
teaches their sons and daughters trades.
Sweden is a profoundly religious
country. The Bible is read aloud daily
by the head of the family and a Bible
is the first gift made by a young man
to his betrothed

TOOK A FLIER IN STOCKS.
And It Came In Handy for the We'd

Who Invested.

It was hot night in the first week of
August. The pharmaceutical chemist

tubes and mortars IN his laboratory. His
family were in the country, and he
wished that he was with them, relates
| the New York Sun. He happened to
be in his laboratory because there WASH

| because he had some work to do. About
ten o'clock his friend Quill dropped in

Quill dropped into the laboratory and
the doctor said:

Polite Conductors in Berlin.

One Of the beauties of life abroad is
the kind attention layished upon you by
public servants. Take, for example, the
street. car conductors in Berlin. The
cars do not pause at every corner, as
with Us. but make run of three blocks
without stopping. When the conductor
sees passengers about to enter his car
he steps off and, removing his cap re-
specially, waits till all are seated, when
he jumps on and gives the forward sig

a ticket for the passenger to retain ami
