HEAVY CUSTOMS RECEIPTS.
Two Million Increase Over july of
1904,

Two Million Increase Over July of
1904.
The monthly statement of the ma
tional government receipts and expen-
ditures which will be issued by the
treasury department on August 1, will
show the receipts for July, 1905, to
have been approximately 1880 900,
and the expenditures about $62,96O.-
600, leaving a deficit for the month of
$13,6SO,OOO. The deficit last July was
ST., 100000
There were no extraordinary re-
ceipts or expenditures in July. 1904.
and none will appear in the figures for
the present month. This decrease of
about $3,500,000 in the deficit for this
month as compared with that for
July, 1904, is accounted for by the ma
terial Increase in the receipts, partic-
ularly from customs, and a slight de-
crease in expenditures. The receipts
from customs alone will exceed those
for July last year by about $4,000, 900.
Those from internal revenue sources
will probably exceed those of year
ago by about $500,000
The receipts this month will in
clude payment of about 100000
from the Southern Pacific Railway
company on account of it's 18th semi
annual note due the government on
August l. There was a similar pay
ment from this company last July
The treasury officials regard the show
ing this month with satisfaction and
point to the $2,000,00O increase in
customs receipts as an indication of
large increase in business during
the remainder of the year.

COST OF CHICAGO STRIKE.
Lasted to5 Days and Cost an Enor-
nous Sum.

The Chicago strike lasted 105 days
and 1920 men were out of employ.
ment. says the Minneapolis Times
The long fight and the large number
of men engaged in it dwarfed the orig
inal cause of the trouble. The team
sters selected as an excuse for strik-
ing the troubles of IL garment work
ers, who had been out many weeks,
and who have long since abandoned
their strike.
Now that the strike is ended the
bill receipted and paid, it may be eX-
amined with reference to obtaining an
idea of the cost of the three months
of business paralysis, smuggling and
bossism. 1t is not officially exact as
to some of the items, which must of
course be estimated, but in dollars and
cents the EFFORT to secure the rein
statement of II garment workers cost
about $9,000,0O0 The city and coun-
protection and some damage suits
for loss of property and life are sure
to follow. The unions paid out $780,
600 in strike benefits and the strikers
lost 100000 in wages. The employees
in conducting the fight paid out 3d.
coo, 900, and experts estimate the
shrinkage in trade, freight business,
in and out, at $6,000,000.
But this is only part of the cost.
In this statement there is nothing that
shows the amount of human suffer
ing, of starvation and of the efforts
Of honest workingmen to find positions
away from Chicago. Nothing of saw
ings used during the period of enforc-
ed idleness. Nothing of the sufferings
of strong men, loyal to their unions,
forced to see dear ones want for even
necessaries.
But there is another story. Twenty
one men were killed and Ais were in
lured, many of them being MANNED
or life. This is the worst feature of
The strike.

TELEGRAPHERS
LOCKED OUT

A general lockout of all telegrapers
on the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern roads is threatened. Three
hunderd and fifty telegraphers employ
ed on the Wilmar, Fergus Falls and
Breckenridge divisions of the Great
Northern are already out.
Bny noon "Wednesday, it is believed,
every telegrapher on both systems who
is a member of the order will be asked
to vacate his post. AT least 1000 men
will be directly affected by the strike,
and general tieup of the business of
the two companies is predicted.
1t is stated that a great many of the
offices on the Montana division of the
Great Northern are already closed.
The telegraphers are preparing for
struggle, and they claim they will fight
to the last ditch.
Unless telegraphers employed on the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
agree to the new scales which have
been submitted by the two railroads
general lockout will result.
Officials of the railroads are now
gonifg from one end of the road to the
other talking to the employees and ex-
planning to them the meaning of the
terms offered. On the trip westward
each employe will be asked to decide,
and no the return trip of the officials
his decision will be asked for.
If the telegrapher decides to stay
with the union the Office will be closed
at once.
If he agrees to accept the terms of
open.
Later Report.
Spokane, Aug. 2.-Railway tele-
graphers on the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern were ordered on
, strike Tuesday night, and practically
: every one of the operators here and in
the stations on the Spokane divisions
' responded at 8:35.
. Advices indicate that the strike was
/ general over the lines from St. Paul to
: the coast, and President Perham of the
l. Order of Railway telgraphers in St.
d Paul, who ordered the strike, declared
l. that by noon Wednesday 90 per cent of
y the operators will be out. From 1910
l. to 1000 telegraphers are involved. The
railway officials maintain that thew
e will be able to fill the places of most
e of the men and that they will suffer
r nothing more than temporary incon-
l. venience. Pending the filling of the
l. places of the strikers they will try to
IS operate on the train right system
e which means running by time card.

Applications for work by scores of
truck drivers marked what is Eeliev-
ed to be one of the last stages of the
teamsters' strike. While a few of the
men were told to report for duty next
Monday morning, there was no gen.
eral reinstatement of the strikers.
Many of the State street stores tried
making deliveries in the outlaying ter
ritory without police protection. The
plan generally was successful AS an
evidence, however, of the precautions
still being taken against possible vio-
lence to the nonunion teamsters, AS
sistant Chief Schuettler reported 220O
patrolmen still on duty.

The intense heat of the morning at
tracted a great multitude to the shore
resorts, and late in the afternoon when
the storm blew up from the westward
the park and beach was thronged with
bathers and spectators. The rain de-
scended in torrents and hundreds of
men, women and children sought shell
ter under the big bathhouse, which is
elevated above the sand on piles. The
lightning was incessant and terrific
thunderclaps shook the bathhouse to
the terror of the crowd huddled to-
gether beneath it.
A few minutes before o'clock a
bolt struck the Flagstaff and grounded
in the very thickest of the crowd.
Nearly so persons were Frustrated and
the crowd rushed out into the storm.
Those who had remained in the water
were also panic stricken and ran in all
directions, not daring to enter the
bathhouse, which appeared to be on
fire.
Ambulances were summoned from
all the nearest hospitals, and on their
arrival five persons were found dead
and nine unconscious in the bath
house. The bodies of all were scorch-
ed by the electric fluid The nine in
jured were removed to the hospital,
where it was said that some probably
would die. Many persons less serious
ly hurt were taken home by friends. A
slight fire in the bathhouse was quick
ly eXtinguished by the rain.
About the same time Henry Rams
weller was struck and killed while
sheltering under a tree at Gravesend
beach.
Lightning struck at various points
in the city. A store in Flushing ave-
nue., Brooklyn, was burned, and a car
in Sixth avenue, Manhattan, was set
on fire, but the occupants escaped I'M
hurt. The electric light and the tele-
phone wires in Bellevue hospital were
struck several times, eXtinguishing all
lights and causing much alarm among
the patients.

COUNCIL INCLINED TO BE GEN.
EROUS IN APPROPRIATION
FOR ENTERTAINING
Committee of the Whole Will Confer
With Board Of County Commits
sioners Next Monday

How much of an appropriation should
Walla Walla, the queen city of the
Inland Empire, with all ner beauty
and wealth, make for the entertain
ment Of visitors at the Washington
| building at the Lewis and Clark ex-
| position during Wa1la Walla week, Oc-
tober 1 to 7 inclusive? That Walla
Walla should be generous in the mat
ter that the city and county should
make a showing commensurate with
the size and Importance of the munich
pality and commonwealth was the
opinion of every member of the coun-
Gil at last nights meeting but the mat
ter Of making an appropriation was
deferred until the council as COM
mittee of the whole shall meet and
consult with the board of county
commissioners with a view of getting
the county board to stand a share of
the expense.
Attorney Oscar Cain, representing
Walla Walla's hostess and her as
sistants, addressed the council last
night and expressed the opinion that
Walla Walla should make an appro-
priation equal to that Of Everett,
$1,000. In view of the fact that the
city is embarrassed just at present the
amount designated rather took
the breath away from several members
of the council, but that a generous
sum should be appropriated was the
general opinion expressed. Council
man Kirkman was named as chairman
Of the committee to confer with the
commissioners at their next regular
meeting Monday morning. The COM
mittee will report at Monday nights
meeting.

SALT KILLS THE SUGAR BEET
AIkaIi Soil Will Grow Roots If Saline
Element Is Absent.

BERKELEY, CAL, June 2S.-From a
series Of soil experiments recently
made by DR.. G. w. Shaw, assistant
professor of agricultural technology at
the University Of California, ne has
discovered that good sugar beets will
grow in alkali soil, where the per cent
of salt in the alkali is less than two
tenths Of one per cent. The fact that
sugar beets did not do we'll in soil con-
tanning alkali was attributed altogether
to the presence Of the alkali, without
stopping to discover what the element
was that destroyed the saccharine
quality of the beets.
After two years tests, DR.. Shaw dis
covered the harmful ingredient to be
common salt, or sodium chloride.
Where this element was lacking, the
beets did extremely we'll and contained
a large sugar content, which was not
impaired in quality. The mere pres
ence of alkali made not difference in
the growth or value of the beets.
Through the work Of the soil surveys
that have been made by the United
States agricultural department, the
areas where bets can be grown will be
easily noted on soil map. The discov-
cry made by DR.. Shaw will enable beet
growers to select the land suited for
their product and avoid the salty sec
tons where their efforts to raise good
beets are certain to result in failure.
Heretofore. large areas have been
planted with sugar beets where the
beets did not show a healthy growth.
Many of the plants would wither and
i, the smaller ones die out, giving the
field a patchy and sickly appearance.
The fact that this happened on some
alkali soils and not on all soil contain
ing alkali led to much confusion as to
the cause of the Difference.
Professor Shaw's experiments were
performed in sections of the state so
| widely scattered that the application
of tests can be made general through
out the state.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 2S.-P.
D. Kelly, the butcher of Beaver Mea-
dow, near mere, recently acquired a
calf Of unusually fine breed, valued at
$1,000. Today he took some friends
to see it, and found it missing from
it's pen. He hurried to his butcher boy
who was working at the slaughter
house, and inquired anxiously if the
calf had escaped.
Not this trip" said the butcher
There she hangs"
He had found the calf in the slaugh.
ter house, and not knowing it's value
thought it had been sent there to be
killed and killed it.
