TREAsURERs REPORT TO ASYLUM TRUSTEES.

financial condition of said institution for the
year ending June 30, 1905 as follows:

Annual Report of
G II A S. II. YE.
Superintendent Of Schools of Crant,
County, Wisconsin.

To THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SUPER
vIsoRs OF GRANT COUNTY, WIS.
GENTLEMEN:-I have the honor to
submit for your consideration, the
following report, based upon the sta
tistics contained in the official reports
of the several town, village and city
clerks for the school year ending June
30, 1905, together with other facts re-
lating to the educational interests of
the county, which may claim your at
attention.
The following table shows the school
population of the county by towns,
villages and cities, and this enumera-
ton is the basis upon which is made
the distribution of the county school
tax, and the income of the state school
fund.
By comparing the school population
of 1905 with that of 1904, it will be seen
that in some towns, villages and cities,
there is an increase, while in others
there is decrease. Especial attention
is called to this, for in cases where the
decrease is large, it may be occasioned
by lack of accuracy on the part of
the District Clerk when taking the
school census. The experience of cor
rectlng the reports of Town, Village
and City Clerks sent to this office at
close of the last school year, leads us
to think that the school population of
the county has not diminished during
the past year, although the above
named reports show loss of one hun
dred twenty.

VISITING PHYSICIANS REPORT.
TO the Honorable Board of Trustees of the
Grant County ASYLUM and County Home:
Gentlemen:-In presenting this my fourth
annual report for the year en- ing June Both.
1906 can state that the health of the in
mates has been very good. Outside of the
inf rmities of old age. and we have great
many of this class, there has cen but few
cases of acute sickness. few cases of
fractures and few minor surgical cases. all
Of which have recovered speedily. This year
we have had also but few boiSterOus or wild
cases This. | think. is due to carefully
watching the patients, giving them needed
exercise. regulating diet and giving strict at
tention to ventilation. Considering the over
crowded condition OF the asylum; 80 beds in
feet long and all of the rooms having too
many beds, look upon the above record
with satisfaction. The attendants have been
unusually attentive and kind. and therefore
the results positive and pleasing. have had
the kind assistance of the superintendent
and watchful matrOn to help make comfort
able the sick and everything possible has
been done to alleviate suffering. Under exist
ing conditions, considering the unnecessary
number OF dark rooms and illy-placed water
closets. sanitary conditions are all that
March l2tn we discovered case of small
pox in the asylum The cook had been Wis
iting near Potosi and there was exposed and
in due time came down with the dreaded dis,
asylum and County Home. Two hundred and
thirty were at once yaccinated and of
this number two hund ed and twenty-five
worked we'll, showing how necessary it is to
vaccinate when small pOx is near or with u.s.
Over ninety per cent of these inmates had
been vaccinated. Some Of them once, some
twice and many three times At present
writing we have two cases of tuberculosis
and both ought to be in the hospital Am
glad to state that the much needed hospital
IS now being constructed and we know that
the generous County Board OF Supervisors
will receive the thanks due them from the
voters of Grant County Considering the
number of inmates being cared for we call
this year of prosperity.

The Harder Brothers returned Mon
day from Crab creek with 500 head of
cattle which they have had on the
range over there. These gentlemen
are the largest cattlement in Franklin
county, owning about 1000 head. They
also have for a garden patch tnirty-
five sections of land near Kanlotus. In
conversation with them Tuesday they
informed us that since their land was
becoming too valuable to be used for
pasture they would gradually decrease
their stock business and put their
land in cultivation as fast as they can
get suitable tenants. The throwing of
several sections into cultivation i'm
mediately adjoining Kahlotus, will be
of almost incalculable benefit to our
city and it is with no small degree of
pleasure that we chronicle the COM

make the change from colored to white

WALLA OFFICE BREAKS
RECORD DURING LAST
THREE MONTHS.
Business Transacted Amounted to
$546.90 More Than for the Same
Period in 1904.

Receipts Of the Walla Walla post
office for the quarter ending Sep
TENDER 80 were s546.90 more than for
the corresponding period In 1904.
This gives a pretty fair idea Of Walla
Walla's phenomenal growth during
the past IL months and Of the volume
Of business transacted in conse-
quence. Postoffice receipts are al
ways looked to as a true index Of the
growth of a city.
Postmaster Brunton's statement
for July. August and September shows
that the amount Of business done by
the Walla Walla Office in the three
months was $6S4o.90. Receipts for the
same period last year were 1924. an
increase this year over last of $546.91.
The sale Of stamps during the three
months amounted to $636484: Sec
ond class postage, $10S16; box rents.
$246.2O. Receipts from second class
postage is ma lie up largely of news
paper publications sent through the
office for which charge Of cent
per pound is made.
The expenses of running the Walla
Walla Office for the past three months
amounted to $4743SO, leaving the
handsome margin of $2097.10. The fine
showing is extremely gratifying to
Postmaster Brunton in view of the
fact that the help employed in the
Walla Walla Office is considerably less
in proportion to the population than
in any of the larger offices in the
state. The need Of another carrier
in the city has been brought to the
attention of the postoff1ce Depart
ment at Washington and Postmaster
Brunton has hopes that favorable &C
ton on his application will be taken
at an early date.
Compared with either Spokane or
Tacoma Walla Walla should have
a city carrier force of not less than
nine, whereas six men are now hand
ling the city mail.

Cameps Baek-"Too Many Fakes"
Declares Chief.

Chief Brown announced yesterday
that the big stick would fall upon
the one who attempted to promote
prize fight in Walla Walla again.
In view of the chiefs attitude on
prize fighting matters, the plan to
match up Denver kid" Parker
and Tom Tracy for a fight to be
pulled off in Walla Walla some time
this month was effectually disposed
of for the time being, or until Chief
Brown can be brought to look with
more favor on the prize ring.

a whole lot of people who put up
their money to see a bum fight.
believe there have been more fake
fights pulled off in Walla ,Walla the
past two years than in any town
on the coast. I have nothing against
Parker, for I believe he has always
fought on the square, but there is no
assurance that the other fellow won't
fake it. No, there is to be no more
prize fighting in Walla Walla while

Would Like to See Two Together.
Fight fans to a man would like to
see Parker and Tracy brought to-
gether for Is or 20 round contest.
Parkers quick defeat of Jack Kearns
at Spokane in six rounds last Fri
day night places him on the eligi-
BILE list to meet any of the top notch
ers in the lightweight or welter-
weight class. 1t took Track IA rounds
to dispose of Kearns at Vancouver
month ago. Tracy is considered one
Of the best lightweights on the coast
and for years he held the welter-
weight championship. He is now
residing in Portland.
An effort is being made to match
Kid Scaler against Parker at 1876
pounds, the fight to be handled by
the Pasttime club at Spokane. 1t is
doubtful if Parker can make the
weight without weakening himself
to such a degree that the Spokane
fighter might cop him off.
Parker and Kearns are now filling
an engagement at the Comique thea
ter at Spokane. They box 10 rounds
a night.

was charged with two counts of per-

turned Saturday night, pleaded not
guilty to the courts yesterday.
He was arrested yesterday, and with
his arrest tine names Of the La

Horace A. J. Upham, attorney and
manager of the Wells building, who
has been mentioned recently in con-
nection with the work of the grand
jury, is named in one of the indict-
ments as the cause Of Murphy's arrest.
Thomas ]. Neacy school director, and
Patrick J. Hannifin, formerly mana
ger of a department store, find a
place in the second true bill. Murphy
is alleged to have perjured himself by
for various grants enacted while he
was a member Of the common council.

Teddy, Jr., Hurt at Football.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 10.-Of
all the hundred freshmen falling on
the back, tackling the dummy and do
ing other stunts of a strenuous ma
ture on Soldiers field, Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., son of the president, is
the very first to be injured.
Teddy, Jr, was tackling a man and
ne cut himself over the eye. It was
not a serious injury, but it was enough
to send him to the locker building and
keep him from practice for the rest
of the afternoon. After he had gone
several other men received minor
hurts, it seeming to be taken as a
hint that Teddy had set the style.
Young Roosevelt's cut will not keep
him from coming out again tomorrow.
He was playing end, the squad hav-
ing been divided into several elevens
which ran through signals. Although
he was not on the huskiest team,
young Roosevelt showed a knowledge
of football and a willingness to work
that marked him as anything but a
green man. His lack of weight, how
ever, is a severe handicap and if he
succeeds in staying on the squad dur
ing the coming season it will be be-
cause of other better qualities.
Today a number Of photographers
were again on the field trying to pno-
tograph him, but the coaches ordered
them away.
