DEPRESSING THE SOCIALISTS.
Speakers Arrested for Talking in Seat.
tie Streets.

The determination of the socialist
organization of this city to secure per-
mission for its speakers to address
crowds on the streets of the uptown
business section is only exceeded by
the zeal of the police to prevent them.
says the Seattle Star. Yesterday eve
ming six men, including the speaker,
were arrested by squad of officers
and booked at head quarters on a
charge of obstructing the streets. 1t
was the third successive night that ar
rests have been made in the course
of the dispute.
Thursday night Arthur Lewis, the
socialist speaker, was arrested by De-
tective Easson and Patrolman Helms
while speaking on Union street, be-
tween Second and Third avenues. At
a lively trial in Judge Gordon's police
court, the orator was released with the
admonition that he would not be per-
mitted to blockade the streets with his
audiences.
Friday night Lewis attempted to
speak again. He was on Union street
once more, though on the west side
of Second avenue. He claimed that
there was little traffic flowing through
the street in the evening and that
therefore he could not be obstructing
the thoroughfare.
Last night another speaker was ad-
dressing the large crowd. He had just
stated that he expected arrest; that
the police did not dare to treat demo-
Gratis as they were treating the social
lists for the reason that the democrats
would fight. He exhorted his socialist
audience to fight: but when squad
of six policemen appeared, the orator
quietly got off his improvised rostrum
and submitted to arrest. Five of his
audience were also arrested,

treatment while on this trip" said DR..
Berry, "and have enjoyed every min

were royalty entertained in Denver
and Salt Lake, and while in the latter
city attended the Mormon tabernacle
service. which was a treat out of the
ordinary. We intend to be in Port
land for about two weeks and during
that time will make several short
trips to nearby places of interest. We
shall spend few days on the coast,
and perhaps take a trip on the ocean.
From Portland we are going to re-
turn on the Northern Pacific and will
spend several days in an exploration
of Yellowstone park and will then re-
turn to our homes.
There are several physicians in our
party and they will attend the medi-
cal convention that is in session in

Tomorrow afternoon at the finish
of a three mile horse race at the UNA
tilla Indian camp ground, it is likely
that one-half of the tribe will be
stripped naked of earthly POSSESSIONS,
as result of the race.
The three-mile race which is set for
o'clock tomorrow afternoon is to be
the chief event of the entire Indian
celebration and the Indians are bet
ting every imaginable article they pos
sess upon the race.
Horses, cattle, saddles, blankets,
tepees, dogs, guns, clothing, orna-
ments, crops, money, hats, moccasins
and everything obtainable are being
wagered on the race.
The contest is to be between a horse
owned by Billy Joshua and one owned
by an Indian known as THE Doctor, -
and both horses are in first-class con-
dition.
They will be mounted by riders
weighing exactly the same and will
run three miles on the circular track
near the celebrated grounds.
The Indians are backing their IA
vorite horses enthusiastically and the
race will be for blood" A number OF
Indians were in the city today and
say great preparations are being made
for the closing event.
On next Monday the Indian camp al
the celebration grounds will be dis

County Judge Bean and Commits
sioners Walker and Gilliland returned
this morning from an official visit to
the exposition and left on the morn
ing's train for Milton and Free
water. The court will inspect two
new bridges that have been construct
ed recently near Milton and while in
that vicinity will view the site for a
new bridge at the Tumalum crossing
on the Walla Walla river near Free
water. This is a dangerous ford and
almost impossible when the water is
high. The people there have signified
an intention to cooperate with the
county in the construction of the
bridge and it will in all likelihood be
constructed in the near future.
When asked about the county ex-
hibit. Judge Bean said: "Our booth
has been very much improved since
the opening of the fair. and although
it is not very heavy it is very COM
plete and neat in every detail. 1t is
as good as any eastern Oregon eXhib-
it except Wasco county. the large

making it little more pleasing. With
all their reputation as fruit raising

in the exhibition of cherries and our
onions are away ahead of anything in
the state. This is the opinion of all
who have seen the exhibits
''The fruit does not keep very long
and for that reason an effort will be
made to have the supply replenished
every week so that the high standard
that has been set by the exhibitors
will be kept up during the continue
tion of the exposition"

Inland Farmer at Spokane Alone In

viii F. Powell, manager of the In
land Farmer, a monthly magazine, ar
rived in the city yesterday evening
in the interest of his periodical.
Mr.. Powell states that his journal
is the only agricultural paper pub
hshed in territory of 100000 of
people, who live in the most prosper
Gus district of its size in the world.
During the past year" added Mr..
Powell, there has been wonderful
progress manifested in all lines of in
dustry as represented in the Inland
Empire. Spokane, which is generally
recognized as the metropolis of this
particular region, is just now enjoying
an unprecedented era of railroad
building. The electric line, extending
southwark through the agricultural
district, will cause the larger farms
to be divided into smaller tracts.
which in turn, will logically generate
a marked increase in population.

year from Spokane to connect with
the Canadian Pacific will open up
some splendid country that will add
to the timber and mining industries -
