INCREASE IN ACREAGE.
Large Portion Land In walla Walla
County sown to Wheat.

Large Portion Land In walla walla
County sown to Wheat.
The government crop report for the
month of April for Walla Walla
county as prepared by Milton Evans,
the official crop reporter, shows a
large area Of wheat sown this
spring, 90 per cent more than the nor
NAL acreage, Owing to such favor
able weather following the sowing
spring crops are growing exceedingly
we'll.
The February freeze is found to be
more disastrous to the northwestern
part Of the county than was thought
at first. The grain appeared for
sometime to be growing all right but
has gradually dwindled and weakened,
causing some fields to suffer for not
having been reseeded earlier, how
ever, the damage is in no place con
sidered serious
All the grain, both rye and wheat,
sown last fall will be harvested. The
condition Of all winter wheat, its nor
NAL growth and vitality, as repre-
sented by 100 will average 95 per cent.
Winter rye averages 100 per cent,
meadow moving lands SO per cent,
spring pasture 100 per cent, 70 per
cent of the spring plowing is all com
pleted.

TO ENFORCE RULING
NOTICES ON EMPTY CIGAR BOX
Es MUST BE DESTROYED,
It Is a Serious offense 10 Violate the
Order and Is Punishable
By Fine.

Beginning yesterday, May /, empty
cigar boxes may not be sold or given
away on which caution notices, marks
and brands have not been destroyed
A ruling to that effect was recently
made by the collector Of internal reve-
nue.. Federal officers in this have
been instructed to see that the ruling
is enforced.
The order is as follows:
"You are advised that the statutes
impose the duty Of destroying the
stamp on cigar box on the person in
whose hands it is when emptied and
denounces penalty for the neglect to
destroy the stamp, and for giving
away or receiving, selling, buying or
using for packing cigars any stamped
box. And revenue officers are author
lied to destroy empty cigar boxes. The
penalties are only with respect to
empty stamped cigar boxes.
So far as concerns the application
of the provisions to empty boxes, with
the stamp destroyed, but not the brand
or caution notice, you are advised that
it would not appear that dealers using
such boxes for advertising purposes
incur any liability in cases where they
receive the boxes full of cigars and
properly stamped. The acts which the
statute prohibit are the selling, giving,
purchasing, or receiving of empty
branded boxes.
1.-THE statute does not make the hav-
ing in possession an offense and if the
boxes were not in an offending condi-
ton when received by the dealer, nc
offense has been committed with res
pect to them. If he disposes of such
empty branded boxes, however, he
does incur liability. He should, there
fore, be careful to destroy the brands
and caution notice before he allows
the box to pass out Of his possession
the stamp having been destroyed wher
the box was emptied.

LEAVES AFTER 40 YEARS.
Milo Ransom Leaves Weston Where He
Spent Many Years.

Milo Ransom left Tuesday for his
future home at Kohokka, Missouri,
where his sister and her children live
and where he expects to spend the re-
mainder of his days. After living in
Weston forty years Milo naturally
found it a "bitter pill" as he express
es it, to say good bye forever to his
friends, Of whom he leaves legion
in Umatilla county. As the hour ap-
preached for his departure the feeling
Of sadness over the separation increased
and there was the suspicion of tear
in the rugged old soldiers eye as he
left for the depot and gazed for the
last time upon the familiar streets OF
the peaceful little city which has
been his home for two score years. -

the city council last night, in addition
to allowing the usual grist of bills

Its present form. l am very sorry to

distance off saw Sullivan go over
board and told gentleman, who was
with her, that she thought she had seen
a man go over the ride. Her compan.
ion said she must have seen the con.
tents of ashlift or rubbish can being
thrown over, and nothing further was
thought OF the matter until the next
morning, when 1t was found that Sui.
livan had disappeared. ,...
