A turn from the consumption of
spirituous liquors to malt beverages
is considered a favorable sign in itsell
by those who make a study Of the
question. Last year, tnen, the coun-
try not only cut down its whisky bill
by something, but also failed to in
crease its beer bill by the usual ratio
On the whole, we imbibe pretty
freely in this country, at least some
of us do. Anyone may take the popu-
lation and figure it into the total
consumption and see that the individ-
ual allowance is a big one, but even
that would not give any fair idea of
the quantity consumed per capita
among the drinkers, for besides the
number Of adults who do not drink at
all, there are the infants and others tt
figure out. Those who are taxing
themselves with the practical work
of helping along the consumption are
evidently finding it a little hard t.
keep it up, in view of the increasing
number who are deserving their ranks
and letting it alone altogether.

NATIONS WHISKY BILL.

Looking about through the miscel-
laneous statistics that the government
issues from time to time, one may find
often encouraging things where least
expected. For instance, there is the
annual report of the commissioner OF
internal revenue which for the past
year shows decline of some import
ance in the consumption Of whisky in
our country. To understand that this
means more than a mere decrease, i.
must be remembered that it is rult
that the consumption of liquors rises
in times of general prosperity ant.
money abundance, and decreases dur
ing hard times, and as the present i.
a time of plenty, something of an in
crease might ordinarily nave been ex.
pected.
In the flscal year for 1905, just
closed, the total consumption of spirits
other than those made from fruits,
amounted to 116,143,732 gallons. The
consumption for 1904 was 116,S4S,372
the decline being 7O4,640 gallons. Rela-
tive to the great quantity consumed
this is not much of a decline, but it il
significant, nevertheless.
Beer showed an increase last year
but the proportionate gain was some
what less than the average annual
gain for a period of years preceding.
We consumed last year 1888, 245, TAO
gallons, against 1,494,452,12 in 1908,
an increase of nearly 39,000,000. The
temperance man will see little en-
couragement in this, yet the compari-
son is favorable, for the increase for
the five years preceding was at the

Special to Evening Statesman:
PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 2.-Walla
Walla county's fruit exhibit at the
Lewis and Clark exposition is sore
disappointment to visiting Walla
Wallans, and many have not hesitat-
ed in declaring that counties that do
not make pretense of fruit raising
on a large scale have a much better
exhibit of fruit and vegetables than
Walla Walla. A dozen or SO plates
of apples and peaches, with few
plates of plums, pears and other va
rieties of fruit constitutes the dis
play Even these are withered and
rather seedy looking and are far from
proving an attractive feature of the
Walla Walla exhibit. Columbia coun-
ty, just across the aisle from the
Walla Walla exhibit, has a fine dis
play Of fruit, although our sister
county makes no pretense of raising
fruit for market purposes.
Aside from the fruit display .Walla
Walla's exhibit compares favorably
with the other individual county ex-
hibits. The cereal and grass display
is a fine representation of Walla
Walla's agricultural resources and
eastern visitors at the fair are wont
to gaze in admiration at the wonder
full grains and grasses grown in the
Walla Walla valley.

ARTISTIC CARPETiNGS.
Esderts' Display of New Fall Goods
ExceIs Anything Ever Before Seen
in WaIla Walla.

IF one is to judge by the stocks of
goods carried. by a few of the promi-
nent local retail houses Walla Walla
is becoming a city that must be noted
among those in the first class.
Yesterday a reporter had an oppor-
tunity of inspecting the new fall of
ferings of one department of Es-
derts' large, handsome store, corner
Fifth and Main street.
1t was the Carpet Department and
the goods the reporter saw consisted
Of the latest effects in Carpets, Rugs,
Lace Curtains, Portiers, cts.
This we'll known firms display Of
the above lines is most extensive and
complete Esderts is a house that
prides itself on selling the latest and
most exclusives; it's house that aims
at all times to keep away from what
is common. That this firm has been
signally successful this fall in it's
attempts along these lines an in
spection Of the present offerings in
their attractive Carpet Department
will amply attest.
All the new styles are shown and
the ladies of Walla Walla and vi
cinity have every reason to con-
graduate themselves that one local
concern has the enterprise to carry
such an elaborate stock.
AS house furnishing and carpet
buying time mas arrived Esderts can
expect to successfully cater to many
patrons during the next few weeks.

UNCLE SAM VIOLATES LAW BUTDOES
NOT ALLOW OTHERS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 3
The reason for the abandonment OF the
extra session of congress and also of
the presidents late silence on rate
regulation is apparent now, according
to the gossip in political circles in
Washington. This reason became APP
Darent to close observers after the
four men on trial in the packing-house
cases before the United States district
court in Chicago gave up the fight last
week, entered a plea OF guilty and
were fined $25, 900.
For a long time past the department
of Justice realized the strength OF It's
case against the packers and was sure
of their conviction under existing law.
The president, also, was undoubtedly
similarly forewarned of the event, and
could not but realize that existing laws
were sufficient for the roofing out of
the rebate evil--if they were only en-
forced sharply enough. There is every
reason to believe that the department
of Justice is of this opinion.
Railroad officers have stated that
rebates were practically done away
with bv the law of February 27, 1905,
which treats those who solicitor accept
rebates as equal offenders with those
who offer or grant them. The rail
roads have been very cordial toward
this law, because, as railroad officers
have often stated, a law to kill rebates
is to their advantage-if the govern
ment would see to its enforcement.
