Mrs. Josephine Preston as His

Superintendent Myers will relinquish
his office to Professor Grant S. Bond,
who was elected to succeed Mr.. Myers
at the last county election. Under the
law the term of the county school
superintendent throughout the state
begins the September following the
election, and in consequence Mr.. My
ers has held the office over two years
The people of the county have ex-
pressed themselves on various occa-
sions as being highly pleased with the
administration of Superintendent My
ers and he will retire from the office
with the we'll wishes of everybody.
Professor Bond is one of the leading
teachers of the state and has success
fully filled the position of principal OF
the Sharpstein school for a number OF
years. He was also county superin-
tendent of schools for four years pre-
ceding Mr.. Myers term and the duties
of the office will not be new to him.
While Mr.. Bond has not given it out
it is generally conceded that he will
retain Mrs. Josephine Preston as his
assistant in the office.

c. c. GOSE OBJECTS TO LEASING
COURT ROOM FOR USE OF
FEDERAL COURT.
He Claimed Commissioners Have No
Right to Rent County Property
to Any One.

When the county commissioners met
this morning c. c. Gose, of the law
firm of Cos & Gose, appeared before
the board and entered a vigorous pro-
test against the proposition of the
commissioners leasing to the Pnited
States government the court room, the
jury rooms and one office in the court
house to be used for federal court pur-
poses during the times that court is
held in Walla Walla. He contended
that the commissioners had no right
to lease the court house to the govern
ment or any one else. He said that the
court house was erected for the use
of the county and for that purpose
alone.
A. F. Slater, representing the Unit
ed States marshars office at Spokane,
was also present and advanced the
opinion that the county had a proper
right to lease the place to the govern
ment.
The matter was finally held up
awaiting the return of County Attorney
Wilson in order that the question could
be submitted to MIN by the board for
an opinion.

TO FIGHT ELEVATOR MEN.
Nebraskans Organize to Prescott
What They Call 1.-THE Grain Trust"

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. War to a
finish mas been declared by the Farm
ers' Cooperative Grain association of
Nebraska upon the Nebraska Elevator
association. The latter organization is
described by the farmers as the grain
trust" claiming that the elevators ex-
act a toll of five to twelve cents per
bushel upon all of grain shipped out of
the state.
The farmers have organized cooper
ative societies at many towns in the
two past years and have been shipping
their own grain to the export trade.
During that period they have been Sc
cretly gathering evidence in substan-
tiation of the charge that the elevator
men have been operating a trust in
violation of state law, and they now
allege that they will be able to prove
the charges in court.
Today the leaders in the co-Opera-
tive movement called a mass meeting
of cooperate farmers to be held in
Lincoln next month at which it is pro-
posed to vote the necessary funds to
begin criminal prosecutions against
the members Of the elevator combines.

Low WATER IN SNAKE
It Is Feared Great Wheat Crop Will
Net Be Moved This Season.

Informal ton has reached the United
States engineers office in Portland that
fully 100000 bushels of wheat will be
shipped from Asotin, Washington, to
tidewater. That town is situated
about five miles above Lewiston, on
the Snake river. If the river can be
kept open to navigation it will be sent
by boat to Lewiston and possibly by
rail from there, and to do this the gov
eminent dredge Wallowa has been
placed in service.
Reports from the upper river say
that the Snake is at a lower stage
than it has been for years, and is fall
ing at the rate Of i of foot every two
days, and it is now only one foot above
the low water mark. Before very long
it is declared it will be below the zero
point. If such proves to be true it is
feared that the steamers plying in
of commission. In that event it would
be necessary to transport the grain
crop to Lewiston by teams over rough
and almost impossible roads if grow
ers were anxious to get it to market
this fall. But it is supposed that many
would wait until winter, when the river
would again become navigable, before
undertaking to move the crops.
All the snow has melted from the
mountains, and there is no possible
chance for the river to increase in
depth unless constant rains should fall
but they never do at this season in that
section, and so the probabilities are
very strong that the upper Snake will
soon be closed to traffic.

EXAMINATIONS THIS MONTH
Eighth Grade Students Will Have
Another Chance.


Eighth grade scholars who failed in
their examinations last January and
May will be given another opportunity
before the opening of the school year,
according to a circular letter which
has been sent to the different county
superintendents in the state by r. E.
Bryan, superintendent of public in
struction.
The letter says that owing to numer-
Gus requests the next examination for
eighth grade students will be held Au-
gust % and 20. Many of these exam
nations were commenced in the spring
and it is desired that they be completed
under the present regime. Many of
the superintendent who were not re-
elected last fall go out of office in
September and arrangements are being
made that the examinations may be
finished before that time.
Superintendent ]. E. Myers says the
students in Walla Walla county who
took the examinations in January and
Nav and failed will only be required
to take examinations in studies in
which they failed before.

PATENT GRANTED FOR IMPROVED
SHAFTS FOR WAGONS AND
OTHER VEHICLES.
Arther J. lembeck and Nat B. Hart
Secure Rights From the United
States Government.

Arthur j. Lembeck, electrician of the
Walla Walla fire department, and Nat
B. Hart, a former fireman, have re-
ceived notice from Washington City
that they have been granted a patent
on their shaft couplings. The young
men have been at work on the device
for several months and when it was
perfected they prepared a model and
applied for a patent. One pair OF
shafts with the new couplings have
been manufactured by w. A. Williams,
the blacksmith, and win be given a
trial on the buggy of Chief Metz.
This invention relates to certain new
and useful improvements in shaft
couplings and has for it's main object
to provide means whereby the shafts
and harness may be readily placed In
position on the morse. The invention
is more particularly intended for use
in connection with wagons and We
hicles which are liable to be suddenly
called into action where rapidity in
Harvesting the horse is desired.
The invention consists generally in
pivotally mounting the shafts as q
whole on a crossbar mounted on the
wagon whereby said shafts may be
turned from a horizontal to a vertical
position, this latter position of the
shafts permitting the horse to be
brought into position alongside the
shafts without the necessity of back
ing the horse into or under the shafts
and when in such position the shafts
can be turned quickly to the normal
position and the harness connections
made without any delay.
Messrs. Lembeck and Hart state that
they already have had offers from
eastern manufacturers of fire appara-
tus for the purchase of the right tC
manufacture and sell the patented
article.

DEMENT, COMPANY BEGINS ACT.
ION AGAINST CITY AND PROP.
ERTY OWNERS.
Contention Is Over Waters EIowjno
Down the Old Isaacs Mill Race
Damages Asked For.

The Dement, Brothers Company.
through the law firm of Cos & Gose.
commenced suit in the superior court
today against the city of Walla Walla
and resident property owners east of
Walla Walla to establish the rights of
the water flowing in the old Isaacs mill
race which furnishes power for oper-
ating pumps supplying water to Isaacs
addition. The defendants besides the
city are Eugene Lennon and wife,
George Barber and wife, Mary Pres
ton, Hong Yuey, Walla Walla Meat &
Cold Storage company, Clara c. War
rem and D. w. Warren, P. B. Smith, D.
M. Smith and Ella Smith, Mary Brown,
Matilda Yox, Joseph Yox and William
Hatch.
The complaint alleges that the city
has INSTRUCTED the flow of Mill creek
by intercepting and diverting the flow
of the waters of the stream through
what is known as the Isaacs mill race.
The company contends that the lands
through which the race flows is mostly
gravelly bottom which permits a
large part of the water flowing in the
race to sink and be destroyed by evap-
grafton. This it is contended, greatly
lessons the flow of water down the nat
ural channel of Mill creek and deprives
the plaintiff of sufficient water to
operate the Eureka mills west of the
city.
The resident defendants are alleged
to be nOn-riparian owners but are di-
verting water from the Isaacs race to
their lands for irrigation purposes
Nominal damages of $4,000 are prayed
for and a decree asked that will re-
quire the city to restore the waters of
Mill creek at the point of intake of the
Isaacs race.
