AFFlRMS THAT HE HAS AC-
QUIRED FRANCHISES OF
ISAACS AND ASSOCIATES.
Work on WaIIa WalIa Street Car Sys-

Details Can Be Arranged.

"Yes, it is true that I have acquired
the street car franchises and rights of
E. S. Isaacs and associates. The con-
struction of a street car system in
Walla Walla will be started as soon as
the details can be worked OUT
Such was the statement made by
Isaac w. Anderson, president of the
Northwestern Gas & Electric company,
to a representative of the Statesman
this morning, when asked to confirm
a statement made a week ago that he
had acquired the Isaacs' franchises.
Mr.. Anderson this morning stated
that a new company would be
Immediately formed and tnat work
would surely be started this sum-
mer. He declined to set any exact
date as to when work would be COM
menced as there are many details yet
to be worked out and settled.
While the financing of the new COM
pany is a matter of little concern to
Mr. Anderson, who represents powerful
eastern capitalists who have been fully
advised as to the probability of sys-
tenn proving fine investment, the de-
tails of forming and Incorporating the
new company, letting contracts for
material, cars ETC., have to be gone

LEFT HOME SATURDAY WITH b.
CYCLE BELONGING TO
MEYER e. kEENEY.
Man Has Been Employed on w. e. C..
R.-Makes Third Time He Has
Deserted His Family.

H. L. Brown, employed on the W. &
c. r. construction train and residing
in Green's Park addition is missing
from his home and Mrs. Brown has ap-
pealed to the police in an effort to To-
cate her husband. Brown was last seen
Saturday when he visited the sporting
goods store of Meyer & Keeney ana
purchased a $45 bicycle, paying $40
down. When Mr.. Brown disappeared
the wheel also vanished The bicycle
firm is now looking for Mr.. Brown.
Brown for over a year was employed
by the Lowe Transfer company and
proved himself a good steady worker.
Later he went to work for the w. &
C. r. and was employed by the COM
pany until Saturday when he drew
his months pay and disappeared. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Brown this makes the
third time that her husband has left
home. The other two times he re-
turned after an absence OF three OF
fo,,r months and was taken back into
tbe bosom of his family. The police
are of the opinion that Brown bought
the wheel merely to ride it out or the
country. AS the bicycle is still the
property of Meyer & Keeney the firm
will make a determined effort to re-
cover it.

northwest who have any conception of
the magnitude of the Palouse river ir-
rigation project and what its relation
will be to the commercial interests of
this state.
"Seventy-five million dollars is a
conservative estimated value of the
100000 acres embraced in this project
after period of ten years. In this
time $25,000,00O will have been expend
ed in improvements that must neces-
sarily be made on each farm unit.
Fifty million dollars would be "a rea-
sonable value for the land in it's pro-
ductive state.
I'm this same length of time the
commercial revenues of the state will
have increased to at least $4,000, 900
per year. And this land, which is a
desert waste in it's present condition,
would support 80 families to every
section.
Here will be found mecca to the
commercial interests of the state. The
necessities of life will be required,
such as clothing, food, farming imple-
ments, lumber and thousands of other
things that creates a demand for man
ufactured products.
"'Tis true that this state is behind
tohers in receiving appropriations
from the reclamation fund and actual
but it win be noticed that the states
which have been active in the matter
are the ones to receive the first atten-
ton. While other states and territor-
les have assisted the geological sur
vey with cooperative appropriations
and determined feasible projects long
before the reclamation law became eff
fective Washington has done nothing,
and other states have received first
consideration.
THE possible abandonment of the
Palouse project has awakened the dor
that prompt measures must be taken
to secure favorable recognition of our

great area of irrigated land must not
be lost to the state of Washington.

HIS ATTORNEY TOOK UP ALL
THE AFTERNOON IN SPEECH
TO THE JURY.
Tries to Make Out That Hoch Is :
Much Abused Man-No Evidence
Of Poisoning.

CHICAGO, May 17.-Attorney Plotke
in behalf of Johann Hoch, the alleged
bigamist and murderer, occupied the
whole days court session in mis- plea
to the jury. He claimed that Hoch
was the victim of the ponderous ma
chinery of the state and that, even if
he were as vile a man as the prosecu-
ton claimed he was, he was not guilty
of the particular charge on which ne
was being tried. There was no direct
proof that the defendant poisoned Mrs.
Walcker Hoch, all the circumstances
cited by the state being purely pre-
sumptuous. Mrs. Hoch undoubtedly
died from natural causes.

DR.. WHITWORTH ADDS ANOTHER
CHAPTER TO THE CONTRO-
VERSY AT SEATTLE
Declares That Whitman's Sole Purpose
in Journey to East Was to Save
Territory to Union

DR.. George A. Whitworth. one of
the oldest pioneer missionaries of the
Northwest, added another chapter to
the Whitman controversy at Seattle
yesterday, in an address on '"The Early
Missionary History of the State" CIV
en- before the students of the State
university in which he warmly de-
Tended the intentions of Marcus Whit
man.
In speaking of the contention that
Whitman made his memorable ride in
the interests of the Presbyterian
church, rather than to save the north
west territory to the Union, Dr. Whit
worth declared that it was Whitman's
sole purpose to save this territory to
the Union, but that all records of his
intentions were purposely destroyed
rather than to have them fall into the
through the agency of the Hudson Bay
company. DR.. Whitworth is one of the
Oldest pioneer missionaries of the state
and is familiar with ali of the facts
of the case, having in his possession
the records of the first Presbyterian
church that was established in the
northwest.
He was elected president of the ter
ritorial university in 1875, and the first
class, which consisted of one member,
was graduated during MS administra-
ton.

What Will Seattle Promoters Do.
Since it has become public that Mr..

been INDUCED in as to whether or not
Maxwell and Hanford, the Seattle pro-

street car franchise. Both Mr.. Max
we'll and Mr.. Hanford left Walla Walla
several days ago for Seattle. So long
as the Anderson interests have an
nounced their determination of pro-
noting a street car system in Walla
Walla it is thought that the Seattle
promoters will decide not to enter the
field at this time. 1t was rumored a
few years ago that Maxwell and Han
ford would apply for franchise for an
electric lighting system to be run in
opposition to the Northwestern COM
pany, but the rumor could not be con-
firmed.

Wool Clip Contracted.

Dealers in wool seem to have no
fears of a decline of wool prices for
another year at least. In various
western states dealers have already
been closing contracts for next years
WOOL clip at from seventeen to twenty
cents per pound and seem willing to
take all they can get at those figures.
While many farmers have sold their
next years crop on such terms as
these some are willing to wait until
spring to dispose of their clip, taking
the chances on the price going down.
They don't consider there is much risk
to run when buyers are so anxious to
contract so far ahead, and prefer to
take chances rather than to sell now

ment before shearing time
