APPLICATION HAS BEEN MADE
TO THE ADJUTANT GENERAL
OF THE STATE
Petitions Being Circulated Among the
Young Men in WaIIa Walla for
Their Signatures

A number of young men of Walla
Walla are circulating a petition for
become members of a militia company
In this city. BY the mastering out Of
the company at Waitsburg recently, a
vacancy mas been made in the guard
and it is believed by those who have
mold of the matter that there will be
no difficulty of securing a company in
Walla Walla if sufficient number of
men can be induced to enlist. The en-
listment calls for term of three years,
the state furnishing arms, equipment,
uniforms and providing funds for the
rent of the hall for meeting and drill
ing purposes. A veteran of the Span
ism -American war, it is understood,
has been asked to make application for
an examination for the captaincy. He
has assured the leaders of the move
be secured he will make the applica-
ton. Under the militia law the per-
son making the application for the
captaincy must take an examination as
tc his ability to handle a company. If
he is successful he is then commission
ed by the governor and given authority
to enlist men for the organization. At
tor As men have been enlisted they are
IN a medical examination and all
t. who pass the physician are mus
tc. cd in.
1--WE feel confident that there will be
nc trouble in getting a company in
Walla Walla," said one of those inter-
ested in the movement, eff we can Sc
cure sufficient number. Walla Walla
should have a company in the guard,
and we will do everything possible to
secure it. The drill that is given the
men is an excellent exercise and the
discipline that a person receives is of
great benefit. Quite a number of the
former members of Company I, of the
First Washington regiment, have sig
nified their willingness to become men,
bers, and the prospect of filling the pc
titions is very encouraging"

MUCH PROGRESS BUT WAS

More Than Two-Thirds of Sprinq
Sown Wheat Is Up-EarIy Veg
etabIes INJURED by Frost

The weather has been rather cool,
with frequent light showers and light
to heavy frosts in the fore part of the
week. 1t was too cool for rapid growth,
but the staple crops made satisfactory
progress, and their condition is excel
lent. Grass, especially, is luxuriant in
the western counties, but it needs more
rain in the eastern counties
There were no unfavorable reports
in regard to wheat, oats and barley,
Winter wheat looks very promising,
and early spring wheat also looks fine.
Oats and late sown wheat are coming
up nicely. More than two thirds of the
spring sown wheat is new up. Potato
planting is quite we'll advanced, and
corn is being planted in the southern
copnties. Early potatoes are growing
slowly, but steadily, except where cut
back by frost. Some early gardens, and
fruits like cherries, and Strawberries,
frosts were heavy. The cool weather
mas retarded the growth of early gar
dens. Hops are being trained to poles
and look fair, but not so good as usual.

FELL TO HER DEATH
IN ELEVATOR SHAFT

Marie Carmilla, three-year-old Por-
tuguese girl. was instantly killed in
the elevator shaft Of the Alexander
Young Hotel Yesterday morning about
$50 o'clock while her mother was de-
livering a bundle of washing TO a Gus
toner in the hotel. While the car was
in motion the little girl lost her bal
ance and fell forward through the door
of the car and struck her head on the
steel combing of the shaft at the sec
ond story. ". G. Sprong. the elevator
coy, with remarkable presence of mind
Instantly stopped the car. but the
child's head was wedged between the
floor of the car and the steel frame
Of the shaft. Sprong then reversed the
car slowly and the body fell to the
basement. The head was completely
severed from the body and the top of
the skull cut off from the rest.
A Coronerls jury was at once impan-
elled and the testimony of Mrs. Mary
Camilla, the mother. who lives in Pa
uoa. near the rock crusher; of the ele-
vator boy, of Manager Lake and of II.
&. Rhodes, who was waiting for the
elevator on the second floor, was taken.
The mother was disposed to blame the
hoy for starting the elevator too quick
but she was too hysterical to give
very collected account of the affair
The elevator boy denied that he start
ed the car suddenly and said that if the
woman had held on to the child the
accident would not have happened.
Manager Lake testified as to the COM
potency of the elevator boy. who is
said to be one of the most careful and
experienced attendants in town. The
jury brought in a verdict of accidental
death.
After the tragedy the grfef-stricken
mother was taken to a suite Of rooms
on the second floor and Mrs. Lake and
other ladies did their best TO comfort
her. 1t IS understood that as the fami-
iy are very poor Mrs. Lake VIII attend

STUDENT PROMOTER
WORKS FOR HAWAII

| VIM. K. Makakoa, the young Hawaiian
student at the Eastman Business Col
lege, Poughkeepsie n. Y, who is one
of the ablest voluntary individual
Promotion Committees the Territory
has in the States, writes to the Ha-
wall Promotion Committee that he has
been offered an opportunity to lecture
on Hawaii this summer in the States
of New York and New Jersey. He says
that on the close of his school term
this summer he Will take advantage
of the offer and lecture until it is time
for him to return TO his studies
Poughkeepsie newspaper has the
following item concerning recent lee
ture the young man delivered there:
Mr.. VIM. K. Makakoa. of Honolulu,
Hawaii. at yesterdays meeting of the
Sunday afternoon Temperance Society.
gave a very interesting talk upon the
drink customs in his native land AS an
indication of how his talk was received
Mr.. Makakoa has been asked to speak
to the society again in the near future.
He described a number Of the native
drinks. their mode of manufacture eff
feet upon the system and the attitude
taken by the United States Govern
ment in regard to, their consumption.
In speaking Of these native drinks. Mr..
Makakoa said that their effects were
to quiet the drinker rather than to eX-
cite him, While the effect of the foreign
liquors imported into that country we're
to stir up all his excitement and to
make him noisy.
The speaker was of the opinion that
the Sabbath was better observed in
Hawaii than here, and that parental
authority was more respected on the
islands than in this country
At the close of the meeting an op-
portunity for any one present to ask
questions having been given, some one
asked: What has been the effect upon
the saloon question since Hawaii has
been admitted as a territory" Mr.,
Makakoa said that the number Of the
saloons have been greatly increased ana
that those who had opposed the am
nexation of Hawaii had predicted this
as a resulting evil.
He said that the United States would
be held responsible for the example
they set for Hawaii and the Philip
pines on all social and moral questions
and that it would be we'll for them to
see that they set only a good example.
On the whole the majority Of Hawai-
ians feel very well satisfied to be un-
der United States rule and the sight Of
the stars and stripes calls forth as
much enthusiasm on the island of Ha-
wall as it does in any part OF the
states themselves.
