OWNERS OF SAND AND SAGE.
BRUSH TRACTS LOOK FOR
A BOOM
Fifty Dollars Is Now Asked for Town
Lots in WaIluIa and
Vicinity.

With several irrigation projects I'M
der way and a number more in pros
pect, the people owning land in the vi
cinity of Wallula are looking forward
in great anticipation of a boom in the
arid lands in that section of Walla
Walla county.
1t is almost an absolute certainty
that within the next year the lands
near Wallula, which now are a desert
of sand and sagebrush, will be under
water, and this is what looks goods to
owners of the now worthless property.
The prospects are so bright that the
owners of the land are now advancing
the price of the ground. One man who
owns a large tract, which is plated
into town lots, has placed a figure OF
$50 per lot on his holdings. When APP
preached several days ago by an in
tending purchaser the owner offered to
sell 200 lots at $50 each, and would not
take a cent less for them.
A resident of Wallula, who was in
the city today, said: when the sew
eral irrgating bitches have been COM
pleted and the water is flowing in the
canals we expect a brisk demand for
land in the Wallula section. With wa
ter this land can be made as product
i've as any other section in the state
of Washington, and it will be but a
few years until this will be one of the
best farming countries in the north
west. The people of Wallula and vi
cinity see a bright future for their
section of the country and expect that
Wallula, which has been dead one for
many years. will soon begin to pick
up and become a good town.
There is a project now on foot to
divide Walla Walla county, and by
taking a slice off of Yakima county,
create new county. If this can be
lone Walula would then be the county
seat and it would be but a short time
until there was a prosperous town on
The Columbia river. The parties who
re interested in the matter are now
at work on the proposition and will
attempt to carry it out"

C0NHEll LOST the FI6HT.
Pasco Will Be the County Seat of
Franklin County.

Although third in the race Pasco
will continue to be the county seat of
Franklin county. This was the result
of the votes cast at the last election.
There was bitter three cornered fight
on in that county over the location of
the county seat and the three towns,
Pasco, Cornell and Mesa, which were
in the field, fought hard and long, in an
effort to get the coveted prize. Ac-
corning to the official returns Pasco
received 40 votes, Mesa 100 and Con-
nell $50. making total of 100 votes
cast on the proposition. Under the
law it requires so per cent of the to-
tai vote cast to change the county seat,
and by the figures Connell lost it by
seven votes.

JUDGE BRENTS UPHOLDS ACTION
OF COMMISSIONERS AND
SUPERINTENDENT
Division Of the District Will Stand on
the Lines Made by County
Officials.

The Seeber school house wrangle has
at last been decided. Judge Brents to-
day handed down decision sustain
ing the decision of County School
Superintendent Myers and the board
of commissioners and quaShing the
writ of review. The grounds of the
decision, as shown by the order were
that the affidavits of plaintiffs filed
therein did not state facts sufficient
to warrant a writ of review or entitle
plaintiffs to any relief. The IS costs
were taxed against the plaintiffs, w.
r. Wilsey and others.
This case was brought before County
Superintendent J. E. Myers early last
summer on a petition for the division
of School District No. 5. The county
superintendent divided the district in
accordance with where the children
had previously been going to school.
This did not suit the people who were
in the Seeber division of the district,
as they wished a larger share of the
old district Accordingly they appeal
ed to the board of county commission
ers who sustained the superintendent.
The DIRECTORS appealed again to the
superior court.

THE WASHINGTON LEGISLATURE
IS LIKELY TO ADHERE TO
OLD RULE.
Rule Against Women Employees Origi-
mated With the Late State Sena-
tor Hamilton of Pierce.

Women clerks and stenographers
may be employed at the coming session
a number of former legislative en-
ployes of the gentler sex is successful.
The question, it is predicted, is sure
to come to the front with the first
meetings of the county legislative del
egations
In many a fair breast hope hay beat
with every heart pulse that the sena-
tors who SO severely frowned on love-
ly applicants for committee clerkships
two years ago will reconsider their
votes and this year consent to their
employment for so days at Olympia.
In December 1902, at meeting of a
majority of the republican senators
held at Tacoma a resolution was unan-
imously passed barring the employ
ment of women at the legislature. This
was rigidly carried out in the senate.
When the house members heard of the
unprecedented action of the sedate SEN
ators they quickly fell in line with the
new rule.
Wall From the Women.
Immediately there was wall from
the women who had f1ocked to the state
capital for years past in search for
soft jobs and a gay time during the
days of the legislature says one writ
er. But tears and protests awaited
nothing. Senators who had favored
many a fair applicant in sessions of
the past were begged to reconsider
the rule, but nothing came of it. The
rustic Of silk skirts and the laughter
rooms were missing at the legislative
house from the day of the opening of
the session until the close thereof.
Several women who had served in
responsible positions in previous ses-
siOns journeyed down to Olympia in
the belief that the Legislature could
not possibly get along without them.
But while the senators and house
members were sympathetic, as hard
luck stories were poured into their
ears, there was no man among them
who could be found brave though to
seek a recall of the rule.
SoIons to Weigh Question.
The rule against women employees
at Olympia in 1903 originated with
the late Senator Hamilton of Pierce
and was strongly supported by a num-
Der of King county senators. 1t is GER
tain that the matter will be brought
up at the first conference of the SEN
ators, who will probably meet early
next month. But if any of the fair
ones cherish the hope of remunera-
tive employment at Olympia, with side
lines of dances at the hotel and nu-
merous other social functions, they had
better carefully reckon with the hold
over senator's, the majority of whom
are opposed to a revision of the rule
made in tho Uiptor IF
