PHILLIP YENNEY DIED At RESI-.
DENCE IN THIS CITY LAST
EVENING.
Came to Valley in Early Sixties-One
Of the Prominent Men Of the
Inland Empire.

Phillip Yenney, an old pioneer of
Walla Walla county and one Of the
most prominent farmers in the Walla
Walla valley, died at the family resi-
dence, 731 Washington street, yester-
day evening following an illness of sew
eral weeks. Ten days ago it was seen
that he could hardly survive his ill
ness and members of the family ar
side.
Mr. Yenney was a native of Ger
many, being born in 1884. He lived in
the Fatherland until he was Is years
of age and then he emigrated to the
United States. For some time he trav-
eled through the Atlantic states in
search Of location finally settling in
Virginia where he lived for four years.
He then moved to Iowa where he
followed farming until 1860 wnen he
was seized with a desire to go west.
selling his belongings and with his OK
teams he crossed the plans to Wash
ington arriving late in the fall of 1860.
The winter of 1S61-1S62 was a very
trying one to the Yenney family, as it
was to all the old pioneers, the cold
being severe and feed scarce. Mr..
Yenney was unfortunate in losing all
his stock and when spring came he
was compelled to start all over again.
With a perseverance that resulted in
success browning his efforts he outfit
ted a freighting train and for several
country. From 1865 to 1868 he was
employed in a trading post on the CAL
ifornia ranch, Spokane county. He
had a store near the place and was
part owner in what was known as
Cowley's bridge, which he helped to
build in 1864.
Mr.. Yenney decided to follow farm
ing and bought a tract of land out on
Russell creek, six miles southeast of
Wana Walla. He added to his hold
ings and eventually owned one of the
finest farms in Walla .Walla county,
which he conducted successfully, re-
firing a few years ago rich man. He
erected a palatial residence at 731
Washington street where he mad his
home.
Mr.. Yenney was married in Iowa in
1857 and his wife and five children
survive him. The funeral will take
place from the family residence at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, Rev. John
LeCornu, chaplain at the state peni-
tertiary, will officiate at the services.
Mr. Yenney expressed a desire to be
buried on Russell creek and mis- wishes
will be carried out.

COUNTY ASSESSORS COMPELLED
TO FURNISH TAX COMMISSION
WITH INFORMATION.
Is to Ascertain to What
Extent Corporations Meet Their
Share of Taxes.

Every county assessor must report
to the state tax commission complete
details concerning the property and
taxation of corporations, including
banks, in his county. The commission
has prepared blanks, calling for minute
details concerning corporation prop
erty, and the blanks will be sent out to
the assessors as soon as they are re-
ceived from the state printer. the
object of the commission is to check
up the extent to which corporations
are meeting their share of taxes.
The information called for includes
the names and addresses of the officers
of each corporation, the number of
shares and par value of capital stock,
number of shares and market value of
all classes of shares of stock, undi-
vided profits, surplus market and as
sessed value and description of real
and personal property, description and
assessed value of franchise, if any;
amount of Indebtedness of all classes,
gross receipts and expenditures of ad-
ministration and operation, dividends
paid, insurance carried and other de-
tails.
The assessors are required to report
the amount of current, time and saw
ings deposits in all banks, rate of in
terest, loans of all kinds, total assess
ment of the real and personal prop
erty, including stock assessed, and are
also required to furnish copies of the
last bank statements issued. 1t is
stated by the tax commission that the
assessors will be expected to report
on every corporation in the state that
is actively engaged in business, but it
is not likely that this can be fully ac-
complished this year.

EXCURSION TO LOWER RIVER
Dr.. BIaIock Arranses With Captain
Gray for Two Trips.

AS a result of the indefatigable work
of DR.. n G. Blalock, of Walla Walla,
and the interest that we'll known
Northwest pioneer has taken in the
open river to- the-sea project, with in
dependent steamboat service transport
tation on the Columbia and Snake riv-

LOUIS DAMMASCH, MUSICAL d.
RECTOR OF NORTH PACIFIC
SAENGERBUND.
Will Drill the Singing Club Of the
WaIIa WaIIa Maennerchor in
Chorus Work.

Professor Louis Dammasch of Port
land, musical director of the chorus
work of the North Pacific Saenger-
bund, which will meet in Portland July
Fl to July "a, is in Walla Walla for
the purpose of rehearsing the singing
club of the Walla Walla Maennerchar
in the program that will be rendered
during the meeting. Professor Dam
masch reached the city this afternoon
from Spokane and was met at the
depot by delegation from the local
society. He is making a tour of the
state to drill the various organizations
that will participate in the musical
program at Portland in the mass
choruses. Tonight he will direct the
local singers in the various numbers
and give them an idea of what he will
expect of them when they go to Port
| land.
The local society has been drilling
for several months on the songs that
viii comprise part of the Saenger-
fest and have made rapid progress
under the direction of Professor Edgar
S. Fischer. A large chorus will be
sent to Portland, accompanied by many
of the families of the members. In
addition it is expected that a large
number of Germans, who are not iden
titled with the singing department OF
the Maennerchor, will also go to Port
land at the same time to take in the
German day exercises at the Lewis and
Clark exposition which will occur
July q.
The program this year includes II
different selections to be rendered by
the mass chorus and the class of the
music is said to be the best ever be-
fore attempted by the Saengerbund.
1t is expected that there may be a
chorus of between 400 and 500 voices
which will sing at Portland. Portland
is to have two societies, Tacoma, Seat
tie, Everett, Bellingham, Spokane and
Walla Walla one. San Francisco has
also promised to send a large delega-
ton of singers.

ASIDE FROM THIS, HOWEVER.
MARKET Is SHOWING BUT
LITTLE ACTIVITY.
Another Ten Days Required to Put the
Crop Beyond Possibility Of Loss
From Hot Winds.

The spot market offers nothing Of
interest. The mills are still taking
little wheat to cover their immediate
requirements and are buying rather
more than had been expected, because
Of the development of some export
business for Hngkong, but the total
volume of trade is inconsequental, says
the West Coast Trade.
Prices are maintained too high for
operations of other than a local char
acter. They are now on basis rel
atively ten cents better than the Liv-
erpool parity, and there is apparently
no outlet in sight for any large hold
ings, though there is no apparent anx-
iety to sell by those who have held for
speculative reasons during the period
of record values. Club is quoted in
this market at 80 cents, and blue stem
at 50 cents, but there have been con-
siderable variations from these figures
in some of the smaller transactions.
Further heavy rains have fallen
throughout the wheat belt during the
past week, contributing to the rank
growth Of the grain, and from sections
come the unusual complaints for. this
season of the year of too much moist
ure, though no damage has been done
beyond the lodging Of wheat where
the growth was too heavy. Another
ten days or two weeks of favorable
weather are required to put the crop
beyond the possibility of the loss from
hot winds, but the season is progress
sing under conditions which make the
gathered in the Pacific Northwest al
most certainty. Fall wheat is nearly
two weeks earlier than the normal,
and in some sections is ready for cut
ing, while the prospect for new crop
arrivals the last of July or around the
first of August are good.
The tonnage situation still remains
in an active position. No charters are
being made at the north, while the pre-
vailing rate is maintained at about
26s 3d. though the figures are entirely
nominal. Some interest has likewise
been aroused by the tightening up of
the market on grain sacks. Local
dealers do not anticipate any serious
results from the apparent shortage, but
values have been advanced within the
past few weeks, and sacks are now
quoting 1925 and $3.50 f. O. b. Tacoma.
