MAYATTACK BROTHER HENRY
FOSTER AND ANKENY WILL
MAKE EFFORT TO HOLD UP
CONFIRMATION
More Rumors Of Another Political
Row Among Washington Senators
at National Capital.

From the national capital comes the
rumor of another row threatened
among the angry politicians of this
state-this time an effort to defeat
Henry L. Wilson in his promotion to
be minister to Belgium. While it is
believed that Minister Wilson's ap-
pointment will be promptly confirmed,
it is recognized that such an attack
is possible. The report, sent out UNI
der a Washington, D. c., date little
before Mr.. Wilson's nomination, says:
IF the president dominates Henry
l.. Wilson of Seattle as minister to
Belgium or Spain, as it is believed he
intends doing, there will be trouble
ahead when the nomination reaches
the senate. If it is sent in this session
Senator Foster will attempt to pre-
vent confirmation, and if it goes in
after the fourth of March Senator
Piles will attempt to block it.
Senator Ankeny is against Wilson,
but he has just demonstrated his ina
bility to block anything, for he was
more determined to prevent Stewards
confirmation as postmaster at Seattle
than he was to prevent any other ap-
pointment, yet Stewart went through
without the least trouble. But be-

WHEAT GREATLY DAMAGED
COLD WEATHER IN UNPROTEcT.
ED LOCALITIES DESTROYS
FALL-SOWN GRAIN.
Flat Suffers Most Where Temperature
Dropped to Way Below Zero
Dixie HiIlsides Affected.

Reports telling of damage to fall
wheat by the cold wave have begun to
arrive from various parts of the coun-
ty. In the foothill district the damage
1t is thought will not be as great as
on the fiat and in the more open coun-
try where the high wind Saturday had
full sway in sweeping the few inches
of snow off the grain.
On some parts of the fat the tenn
perature went as low as Is below and
fall wheat has suffered in consequence,
many farmers, after examining their
fields, stating that it will be necessary
to reseed this spring if they expect
to raise a crop.
George Minnick, big farmer of the
Spring Valley district, said this morn
ing that while he had not visited any
Of his fields for several weeks he had
received reports from neighbors OF a
very disccuraging character.
1T is hard TO tell the exact damage
to a field of wheat Mr.. Minnick said.
Fall wheat in the Spring Valley dis
trict was looking very backward as it
was. Just what additional damage
has been done by the present cold
wave it is hard to say although we
expect it will be necessary to reseed
some of our land this SPRING
In the Dixie foothill district the
temperature Sunday was reported
very low and much damage will result
to fall wheat where it lay exposed to
the chilling blasts. The light snow
drifted over some of the south hill
slopes and formed a blanket sufficient
ly thick to protect the tender wheat
On such places as this farmers do not
expect to be compelled to reseed but
on the barren slopes where the wind
had free sweep it is thought that most
Of the wheat was frozen out.
The same conditions it is thought
exist in the district south of Walla
Walla where fall wheat. has been very
backward owing to the dry fall last
year.

Medium SOLVES A MYSTERY.
,..s,tive Gets Description of Robbes

DEMO Nev.. Feb, 14.-By the aid
Il sniritualistic medium Constable
ucDougald of Truckee has solved a
,,vstery that has puzzled the best de-
,actiyes of Wells, Fargo & Co, the
mast few months. The officer has To-
catad the man who robbed the COM

treasure of the vault, consisting of
$1,000 in money and a number of
watches and other jewelry. The theft
was not discovered until next day.
Suspicion was directed first at Mr..
Winter. then at Mr.. Morris. Mr.. Win
Ter however, proved his innocence by
promptly offering to make good any
loss. Morris at first stoutly denied
his guilt. Detectives from the ex-
press company were sent to the scene,
but nothing could be learned. Last
week Constable McDougald, who, with
Deputy Schlumpf, was untiringly at
work on the case, went to Oakland.
While there he consulted a medium.
The woman, so states the officer, de-
scribed the robber in every particular,
stated where lie would be found, and
in TACT gave the officer such convin-

CONFER WITH OFFICIALS.
COMMERCIAL CLUB COMMITTEE
AND RAILROAD MEN HELD
JOINT MEETING.
Flour to Eastern Points the
Principal Topic.

P. c. Stonr assistant traffic mana
ger of the Hartman system of railway
lines: R. B. Miller, general freight
agent of the Oregon Railway & Navi-
cation company; S. B. Calderhead,
general freight agent of the w. & c..
R., held a conference this morning
B. Strong, Frank S. Dement,, Oscar
Drumheller, Ben c. Holt, jr., and Fred
W. Kaiser, members of the Walla Wal
la Commercial club committee on
transportation and President Harry H.
Turner. The meeting took place in
the office of General Agent Burns, and
the principal matter taken up was the
protest filed some time ago with the
Commercial club by W. w. Raymond,
the grain dealer, in which Mr.. Ray
mond alleged that the railway COM
panies were discriminating against the
Walla Walla county shippers in the
matter of rates on grain and flour to
eastern points. 1t was claimed by
Raymond that the rate from the Pa
! louise country was so much lower that
it made it impossible for the shippers
| in this county to compete with those
of the Palouse country.
Mr.. Raymond was present at the
conference and he made quite an ex-
tensive protest personally to the prom
| inent railroad officials. The subject
was gone over thoroughly by the
Commercial club committee and the
representatives of the railway COM
| pany, and many of the details dis
cussed.
After the railroad officials had lis
tened attentively to the committee
they announced that the railroad COM
panies We're anxious to do anything
| possible to assist the grain shippers
of Walla Walla, and in fact those Of
any section of the Inland Empire,
They said it was to the interest of the
transportation companies to give the
patrons of the lines the best rates
possible and they stood ready at any
| time to afford any relief that was
equitable and just. They pointed out
| the fact that it was necessary that
| rates should vary in different sec
tons of the country. but they were OF
the opinion that the present protest
could be settled IN manner that
would prove satisfactory to both the
shippers and the transportation lines.
The matter of adjusting freight tariffs
| they claimed, was no small task and
! that it required much figuring and
| considerable time to rearrange the
rates. Both Mr. Stohr and Mr.. Miller
assured the Walla Walla patrons of
the road that the matter would be
taken up with the heads of the de-
partment and an effort be made to
regulate the tariffs SO that there would
be no occasion for further complaints
from the shippers in this section of
the Inland Empire.

APPEAL TO Los ANGELES
Bullfrog Interests Sign Memorial to
Southland City

Los Angeles Times states that resi-
dents of the Bullfrog mining district
have signed memorial to Los Angeles
business men appealing to them to ex-
ercise their influence To secure rail-
road into the district with Los Angeles
as the outlet.
This action il the result of Borax
Smith moving his road from junction
with the Salt Lake ut Las Vegas to
Ludlow on the Santa Fe.
The memorial recites that Los Angeles
is the natural and logical trading point
for Southern Nevada and the ideal place
for large smelling works. Extension
of the Santa Fe lines from Ivanpah is
suggested.
The Times also states that salt Lake
officials profess to believe that the breach
with the Borax road is not beyond rem
edy, and that Smith may yet be induced
give their line the terminal of his road.

RISE IN SILVER

The only reason that the Eastern mar
kets have to give for the unusual adj
vance in silver during the past week is
to the effect that China is in the market
for some more of the white metal and
that as soon as the present demand Is
satisfied that the presumption is that
both copper and silver will be in strong
demand from the Oriental countries.
Whatever the reason may be, it is
certainly gratifying to the mining in
dustry of the Western country that as
suranees from the Eastern markets in
dicate that there will be better prices
prevailing at the close of the year. The
increase in the price of silver will insure
the opening up of a great many OF the
mineral belts of the West, where the
grade of ore has hitherto been consid-
cred too low to admit of being mined
since the price of the white metal was
reduced Virginia Chronicle.

As an example Of the liberal, humble

Beatty Bullfrog Miner cites the fact
that con Sunday last Beatty held her
first religious services, by singing OF
sacred music in The rear OF Johnson's
saloon"
True religion this. And The Age ven
lures to state that this simple service in
what is probably a commonplace front
ier saloon, was more earnest and devout
and productive of more real good than
any religious service held anywhere that
day.
Strong, broad minded men are usually
more susceptible to and exert more
powerful influence for good than the
narrow, intolerant kind.
