ability to come to Walla Waua to a
their trading, and also to find a ouict
market for early produce.
The slow methods of transportato,
now existing between Milton and Wal.
la Walla has, in a great measure nal
the effect of retarding the develop.
ment of business that otherwise would
come to Walla Walla merchants, al.
though it might work a hardship on
some of the business houses of those
two towns. With larger stocks to Sc
lect from and many of the allurments
of city life to attract them there is no
denying the fact that Walla Walla
would be able to cater to at least Is
per cent of the purchasing population
of those districts. Such keen interest
is being taken in the proposed line that
the farmers along the routes nave in
several instances declared their will
ingness to offer a bonus or in any
event free right of way to the COM
pany that shows it means business.
These farmers claim that the building
of such a line would enhance the value
of their land at least 25 per cent, be-
sides giving an opportunity of market
ing perishable fruits at an advantage
unattained. At the present
time there is only two trains daily
over the one line of railroad connecting
Walla Walla and Freewater, which can
be said to be part of Milton. At only
one or two stations in this distance
do trains stop for freight, compelling
farmers to either haul their produce to
Walla Wa1la or Milton.

SECRETARY OF INTERIORS Or
DER REGARD LIQUOR SALE
WILL BE CAUSE
Will Allow Saloons to Flourish Near
the Work Being Carried on in the
Reclamation Districts

There is going to be no end of
trouble among workment employed on
government irrigation projects unless
the interior department reverses itself
and prohibits the sale of liquor within
the limits of such projects.
No sooner had the reclamation SER
vice begun the construction of it's first
project than liquor dealers appeared
on the scene. Some made entries in
the heart of the irrigation districts;
others leased lands which mad been
entered, but all were careful to locate
in the vicinity of the work, and in the
midst of an army of workmen. Saloons
have done in times past in almost ev-
cry new mining town in the west;
there was much drunkenness; there
was gambling; robberies were frequent
and fights were of common occurrence,
and fatalities have been reported on a
number of occasions
The reclamation service was quick
to realize that liquor was at the bot
tom of the trouble. With the saloons
came the gamblers and the tough ele-
ment in general. The laboring forces
became largely demoralzed work
was retarded; disorder reigned where
order was expected, and before long,
in addition to the troubles enumerated,
it was noticed that every now and
then some workman would disappear,
leaving no trace behind.
An appeal was made to the commits
sioner of the general land office, who
promptly drew up a circular to local
land officers, directing them to cancel
every entry under an irrigation pro-
ject where it was shown that the en-
tryman was selling liquor on his prem
Uses, or mad leased his land to liquor
dealer. That circular was sent to the
secretary of the interior for approval,
was by him referred to the assistant
attorney general for his department,
and by that official was adversely re-
ported upon. In his opinion, following
precedent heretofore established, the
government has no authority to can
lar, just because the entryman is SELL
ing liquor on his land, or is permitting
liquor to be sold there. 1t is the opin-
ion of the assistant attorney general
that the sale of liquor on homesteadei
land has nothing to do with the right
of an entryman to perfect his title, but
is subject entirely to the laws of the
state in which the land is located;
that if the liquor is sold under the
eminent can interpose no objection.
The ruling proved great disap-
pointment to the reclamation service,
for it virtually puts the government
stamp of approval on the sale of liq-
uOr on government irrigation projects;
it practically says to the liquor man:
go in and sell all the liquor you want
to; we don't care"
In asking for a restriction upon the
sale of liquor on irrigated lands, the
reclamtion service was actuated by
the very best motives; it sought to
protect it's own men, and the men en-
ployed by the government contractors,
against the bad elements that have
given noxious notoriety to new west
ern towns.
The worst is now looked for; the |
bars are down; the saloons may enter, |
and they will no doubt flourish.

considerable increase in the

been no material shortage of
seed cane anywhere. Altogether
the prospect at the present time
is encouraging.

for carrying on this work, and The
Commoner occupies this field. The
campaign Of education and organi-

MATERIAL PROSPERITY AND AMBITION
In the February number OF the New
Idea Wonan's Magazine, Esperence
Goodlove, who writes in a bracing way
Of business women, which are apparent
ly beginning to assume tangible form.
She speaks OF women who build houses,
amuse themselves in the stock market
and indulge in the expensive luxury of
travelling as hobby. ANY ambition she
regards as safer than none, and even
material aims she considers as Legitimate
and right. I heard most inspiring ser
mon the other day" she says, sin which
the preacher, referring to things worthy
of seeking, put material prosperity high
up in list with health, cultivation and
spiritual gifts. He recognized that with
out Il certain degree OF material prosper
ity there is no such thing possible as
tire qualification of ambition" This
statement is probably, in reality, OF
less material nature than it looks, but
very different meanings will be read into
it by people of varying temperaments.

Mr.. ROCKEFELLER, JR., insists that
money will not buy happiness.
Now, while it is true that few per-
sons have ever owned as much
money as Mr.. Rockefeller and very
few have any practical or expert
mental kno wledge Of what such vast
wealth means to man, except that
1t gives him great power and intlu-
ence in the fnanclal world. SO far
as his assertion that wealth does
not bring happiness" is concerned,
he is doubtless, correct, for person
who is looking for and whose chief
desire is true happiness, is not at all
likely to accumulate great riches in
dollars. But how much experience
has Mr.. Rockefeller had in an honest
effort to buy happiness with his
money? Has he raised the wages of
the poor tollers who make it posi-
BILE for him to draw regularly from
the Standard Oil Company such
enormous dividends? Has he re
duced the price Of oil to a fair basis,
so that the poor can buy and enjoy
the use Of it without contributing
Of their meager and hard earned
means to his, already enormous
wealth? None of these propositions
would reduce his enormous wealth
to any great extent, But if he has
experimental any along these lines
we have never been informed of it.
Has he tried: "go and sell that thou
hast and give TO the poor" Oh, no,
nor Is he at all likely to do so. In
one respect, at least, he is very
much like the one to whom this
command was given, 'sfor he had
sreat POSSESSIONS" The truth of the
inatter is, Mr.. Rockefeller has an
enormous amount of Just what he
has been looking for; and read be,
tween the lines, does his statement
mean that all his gttat riches has
brought him only disappointment:

spirit; but there is Il lesson in it for

GOVERNOR JOSEPH W. FOLK was
inaugurated last Monday and has
entered upon the duties of his of
fee. He has republican legisla-
ture and republican state officers
around him, ''foes without and foes
Within" as many Of his own party
are not in sympathy with him. to
say the least of it, and, look at his
position from any standpoint, there
is but one conclusion, the occupant
of the governors mansion at Jelfer-
son City for the next four years
will have rough road to travel.
But he has been tried and to say
that he will not make an honest
effort to discharge his duties would
be cOntradicting the facts rs they
stand in his record. If any man
has eyer been tried. Joe Folk GER
tainly has, and he has greater trials
before him. But with all he has
undergone and with all he must en-
dure; with all the abuse that has
been heaped upon him, he goes
right on without q whine or com
plant. A man possessed Of such
stern integrity may make mistakes,
but he is not to be turned from his
course by the political huckster, the
criticisms Of his enemies nor the
responsibilitie that lie IN the path
of duty.
