WILD CAT MONEY!.
Worthless Bills Not Barred by Law
Are in Use in the Northwest.

CHICAGO, July 26.-At least $4,000
of "wildcat' money, issued by the New
Brunswick State bank of New Jersey
before the war Of the rebellion, is be-
ing circulated throughout the United
States, and especially in the territory
adjacent to Chicago.
According to the United States Sc
cret service men, hundreds of bills OF
various denominations nave been
passed by swindlers, who give them to
small storekeepers in payment Tor
merchandise.
Although the laws against counter
feiting are stringent, and the punish
ment for their violation severe, the
United States government has no 5ur-
isdiction over cases where worthless
money is passed.
Some of the denominations bear a
close resemblance to United States
money. The bills are secured from
Silas C. Stevens, a curio and coin
dealer, who does not deny that he han
dies the money. He says ne sells II
for what it is, and that he does not
care to what use it is put after it
passes out of his hands.

MANY PASSENGERS TRAVEL TO
AND FRO BETWEEN WALLA
WALLA AND PENDLETON.
o. r. E. N. May Be Compelled to Put
on An Extra Coaeh-HoteIs
Crowded With Travellers.

Summer travel between Walla Walla
and Pendleton is taxing to the utmost
the accommodations of the passenger
train running between these two
pionts and may result in an extra
coach being added to take care of the
travel over the o. r. & N. According
TO railroad men travel between Pen
dleton and Walla Walla was never
heavier than it is this summer. Every
train is crowded to the utmost and
many days passengers are unable to
secure seats but are compelled to
stand in the aisles throughout the
whole trip.
An indication of the heavy traffic
is seen in the number of guests crowd
ing walla Walla hotels. Several hotel
KEEPERS said today that they could
hardly find accommodations for their
guests and in several instances have
been compelled to seek rooms from
nrivate families to take care OF the
overflow. Generally July and August
,nontbs are dull months with the
hotels. but this year conditions are
reversed.

Miller went along to identify his man.
Mitchell put up SO bonds for his ap-

Mitchell, Miller who has been en-
ployed as stacker refused to carry
water to the nay fields and a hostile
feeling sprung up between the two.
1t is an unwritten law that the spike
pitch and stacker are to carry water
for the men. Mitchell contended that
as long as Miller failed to perform his
share of the work he could not have
any water to drink, and this morning
when Miller slid off his hay stack and
raised the water jug to his lips,
walked up and struck him
twice in the face. Miller. will wear a

and Edct Goes Forth.

ATHENA, July 26.-Sunday was q
closed day in Athena, every one OF the
saloons remaining closed all during
the day, much to the satisfaction OF
those who have been contending Tor
the enforcement of the Sunday closing
law. The unusual action on the part
of the saloon men was taken in COM
pliance with a notice sent them by
John McCourt, acting district attorney,
TO the effect that they would be prose-
cuted should they remain open on the
Sabbath.
Last Friday Rev. E. Baker and Rev.
J. w. Jenkins, both pastors Of Athena
churches, were in Pendleton and made
complaint to Mr.. McCourt that the
Sunday law was being violated at
Athena by the saloons. and wished TO
take legal steps to put a stop to the
nractice. While averse to taking any
action on such a subject in the alb
sence of District Attorney Phelps. Mr..
Mccourt felt that the request could
not be denied, and consequently ne
wrote to the various saloon men OF
Athena ordering them to close up on
Sunday. Apparently his order was
comnlied with to the letter by the IL
ouor dealers of that place. 1t Is said
that the movement is favored oy
majority of the citizens Of Athena, and
that it is their wish that the enforce
ent he continued. While threats
have been made by the saloon men
that they will close all other business
,,.ces also. this is said to have caused
no uneasiness there.

DISARMAMENT URGED.

In view of the fact that millions are
being expended by the United States
for building up huge navy, the speech
of Baron de Estornelles de Constant, in
the Senate. at Paris. France, favoring a
national agreement Of nations in re-
ducing naval expenditures, ought to
attract universal attention. He main
tanned that naval expenses were ruin
ing France under the pretext of de-
Tending her. The naval program to
which Parliament was committed, he
added, contemplated the expenditure
of $500, 100000 before 1917. Neither
France, Germany nor Great Britain
had the resources, population or wealth
to meet these colossal expenditures
which insured difficulties and debts to
posterity.
The speaker cited statements made
by leading statesmen of Great Britain,
Russia and Germany favoring Euro
pean accord for the limitation of naval
expenses and urged that this would
benefit the entire world, particularly
Russia, Japan and the United States,
leaving them free to develop their COM
mercial resources. Therefore, he
asked that the work begin by France
an Anglo-French agree
ment for limiting naval expenditures
and later securing the adhesion of the
other powers.

MAKING A LIVING ON THE FARM,

Thore is whole lot of timely truth
crowded into this paragraph from the
forceful pen OF Editor Sidney Lewis, of
the Sparta Ishmaelite :
"The slump in cotton prices last fall
will prove to have been blessing in
disguise, if it should result in convinc-
ing the farmers that the first object in
farming is to make 3 living-the making
of money being secondary. The whole
question ranges itself around that truth.
A living can be more cheaply made on
the farm than bought from the stores"
And It can be done in Cobb County.
