BARGAIN WITH THE TRUSTS.

On good authority it is stated that
million dollar subscription to the re-
publican campaign fund on behalf of
Pierpont Morgan individually is, on the
same authority, pledged for a quarter
of a million: the steel trust is down
for three quarters of a million, the
sugar trust for a similar sum, the to-
bacoc trust for half million, the pa
per trust for quarter million, the coal
trust and the Pennsylvania railway for
half million and various other we'll
known interests and mOnopolies as
ISOLATED with Wall street for large
sums
The total campaign contribution to
be raised from these sources is reliably
put at ten millions. 1t will be the
largest amount of money ever put into
4 political campaign. 1t fairly doubles
the last republican campaign fund.
1t means the trial of the power of
the dollar as against the power of the
people. 1t means that the old re-
publican bargain with the tariff monop-
olies is to be reproduced on a larger
scale with the trusts Of today.
A campaign fund of ten millions
from the trusts means that the enc
mics of the masses are willing to pay
for immunity. 1t illustrates the profit
in the protection which is the robbery
Of the many for the benefit of the few
1t is a form of absolute insurance
against disturbance of the Dingley
schedules through which the trusts
have enriched themselves, and against
the rigid enforcement of the laws Of
the land as they apply to monopoly and
illegal combinations.
Ten millions and more will go far.
With a machine prepared for it's use,
as in California, Delaware, Rhode Is
land. Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin,
the money will be spent where it will
do the most good"
Possibly it was Judge Parkers de-
claratiOn that the common law could be
and should be employed to correct the
objectionable features of monopoly
that prompted Wall street to such I'M
usual generosity. A ten-million cam
paign fund against him demonstrates
that the constitutional candidate is
profoundly to be feared by the viola
tors of the laws of the land

in connection with the Starbuck bank.
The amount alleged to be due the
Starbuck depositors is said to be be-
tween $1,000 and $500. which Mr..
Mears claims he expects to raise soon.
He says that no one will lose a cent,
and that he has friends in the east VINO
will come to his assistance.
Mr.. Mears is a small man ga years of
age of light build, with a short gray
beard and Of a very nervous tempera-
ment He is of good address and APP
pears to be we'll informed and says ne
has been in the banking business for
the past 20 years. He claims to have
been interested in 20 different banks in
the east at one time, and has been west
only six months. He would not talk
about the difficulties that have over
taken him since his advent here. but
claims that if he had not been arrested
everything would have come out all
right.

MILL CREEK IS Low,
Flour Mills All Shut Down and Rain
Is Badly Needed to Start Up.

Unless the present dry season comes
to an abrupt end Walla Walla millers
are fearful that they will not be able To
start up their mills much before the
middle of September. Mill creek M
present is running less water than II
has for years, due to the continued
dry spell which has existed for six
weeks. The same condition exists in
nearly all the mountain streams and
the mills at Prescott and Dayton viii
not be started up until after the fail
rains set in One miller said this
morning:
We were able to run later in the
season this year than usual and this
has helped the situation out some, al
though from present appearances mills
around Walla Walla will not start up
before next month. unless there is a
break in the present dry spell. 1t will
take much rain to furnish ample water
to start up. In the meantime all W.
can do is to get ready for the run when
it does come"

HAY MEN ARE HAPPY.
Fine Weather Aids Them in Putting
Up Crops-Prces Are Good.

According to local feed men the con-
tinued dry weather has been a great
boon to the hay men of the valley and
as result there will be hundreds of
tons of hay put up in excess of last
year. Hay farmers are taking ad
vantage of the favorable conditions
and are getting the last crop of alfalfa
in the stack. The quality of nay this
year will be unusually good, owing to
favorable weather for the curing pro-
cess.
While the great quantity of all kinds
of hay cut in the valley this year will
probably not result in the high prices
obtained last year, farmers are feeling
good over the present price, as the net
returns will be far greater than last
year and the labor of putting up mas
been greatly reduced. In the open
market timothy nay is commanding
SO a ton, with the demand unusually
5 Ga ton, with the demand unusually
good.

Enterprise; The Chinese of Phoe-
 nix are justly incensed. Their customs and traditions have been
 violated in Phoenix by tourists in
 their crazed quest for souvenirs.
 Two days ago Sam Kee, the pioneer Celestial of Phoenix, one of the most respected of them all, was
 buried with all the rites and GUS toms due to his longevity and good character. He was prepared for
 burial in the Chinese manner. It is a long way to the Chinese heaven. Provisions of the best were cooked for his use on his journey to the Celestial Paradise. They were placed upon his grave. Two hours after the funeral ser vices, before he had barely gotten started on his journey to the great heaven, tourists began to flock around to look at the provision made for his journey. They did not stop at this; they wished the poor man to get to Paradise with an empty stomach. They deliber- ately took for souvenirs the food prepared for him, the dishes and the raiment. This belief of long journey and consequent need of food Is to the Chinaman a religious faith. as much as prayer at funeral Is to ours. Such vandalism is not becoming to the respect which our nation invariably boasts of in freedom of religion and speech.
