PRESS WOODRUFF RETURNS
Former WaIIa WaiIan Is Paying a
Visit to State of Washington.

Press Woodruff, who years ago was
one of the best newspaper men in Spo-
kane, but who for several years past
has Travelled all over the couitry as a
lecturer and an entertainer, is in Seat
tie on a visit to his sister, whom he
had not seen for ten years.
Mr.. Woodruff now makes his head
quarters in Chicago. During the last
national campaign ne was out under
the auspices of the national committee
ana did most of his work in Missouri.
It will be remembered that Missouri
went republican last fall for the first
time since 1868, and one of Mr.. Wood
rufus most highly priced possessions is
a letter from the national committee
intimating that the mysterious
Stranger" was added to the republican
column largely through his efforts.
Press Woodruff is well known in
Walla Walla, having resided here years
ago, being employed by the Schwa-
bacher Brothers.

FEUD AND WOOING FATAL.
Father Who Opposed Two Sons In
Courtship Is Killed.

MUSKEGON, Mich, April 21.-A
family feud dating back forty years
and a courtsnip and attempted elope-
ment eliminated in a duel yesterday
in which Clinton Mccain, aged IS,
was killed and his son, Clinton, Jr.,
wounded by a bullet from his father
rifle. The tragedy took place at Walk
erville, trading station thirty miles
north.
The two sons of Mccain have been
counting two schoolteachers and the
courtship was opposed by the father,
who threatened to kill the sons if they
persisted. Another factor also enters
into the case. Dennis Mccain, the
brother of the dead man, lives on an
adjoining farm, and for two years the
two families have been at outs over
a line fence dispute.

CHIEF METZ CALLED OUT HIS
FIRE FIGHTERS FOR TRIAL
THIS MORNING.
Prompt Response Made-Three Good
Streams Thrown Over Drum
heller Building.

To relieve the monotony of daily
duty and to ascertain if they were in
good trim to fight fires, Chief Metz
gave the members of the department
test this morning. The firemen were
not aware that the test was to be
made, but they were found to be in
good shape and they made a prompt
response to the CALL The alarm was
turned in by Mayor Gilbert Hunt from
box "a, corner of Alder and Second
streets. The apparatus from both en-
gines made good time in getting out
on the streets and made exceptionally
good runs to the scene of the sup
posed fire. In one minute from the
time the alarm was given the steamer,
chemical and hose wagon from engine
house No. l were on the ground and in
one and a half minutes two streams
were turned on. The big engine and
reached the corner of Main and Second
streets from East Alder and had two
streams playing in two and one-half
minutes.
Two streams were thrown from the
enw engine and one from the old, all
being able to reach the top of the
Drumneller building. The test proved
that there was sufficient water in the
mains to supply both engines, a ques
ton that had been in doubt in the
minds of the councilmen for some time.
CoIIided With Express Wagon.
AS a result of the test Gus Fisher is
minus one of mis- delivery wagons. He
was driving out First street at a rapid
house No. turned into First from
Alder. Fisher made an effort to pull
to one side of the street but the team
on the hose wagon was going SO fast
that the apparatus collided with the
express wagon and completely wrecked
the latter. No blame is attached to
the fremen for the accident. 1t has
been suggested that the drivers of We
nicles in the business district of the
city be more cautions when an
alarm of fire is turned in and should
keep their team and vehicles, close to
the curb which will prevent all danger
of coming in contact with the fire ap-
paratus.

HARRIMAN'S NEW PACT.
1t viii Let Him Into the Pacific
Northwest.

SEATTLE, April 21.-There is no
longer ground to doubt the agreement
between the Hartman and the North
ern Pacific interests as regards north
Pacific coast territory. 1t is officially
announced that Southern Pacific cars
are to enter Seattle over the tracks of
the Northern Pacific from Portland on
May 1.
AT the local office of the Hartman
roads official information has been re-
ceived that R. H. Countiss, agent of
the transcontinental freight bureau at
Chicago, is preparing an all-rail rate
for delivery at Puget Sound terminals
by way of Portland over the Northern
Pacific tracks. The new tariff will ap-
pear in few days and will allow ship
ments from Mississippi river points.
Louisiana and Texas territory direct
to the Pacific northwest.
The principal benefit will be in the
handling of cotton for reshipment by
way of the Great Northern Steamship
line to the Orient. This is the bust
ness the Hill line has been cultiyating
for two years, and at the end of last
year was able to make a showing OF
having handled Is per cent of the cot
ton brought to the Pacific coast for
tranSShipment.

GOVERNMENT REPORTS PREDICT
GOOD CROPS FOR THE
YEAR OF 1905.
Moderate Rainfall in May and June
! Needed to Realize on Present
Prospects.

There is a general tendency to ac-
cept the present outlook for the grow
says the West Coast Trade It is a
matter Of history that where the April
crop report of the department has
shown high average the harvest has
been an excellent one, and, while there
are few reports of a contrary. effect,
the general trend of advices is to in
dictate a maintenance of the excellent
condition returned by the govern
ment. On the Pacific coast the near
approach of harvest in California and
the fine prospects have caused a slack
demand from that source for north
west wheat In Washington, Oregon
and Idaho where the season is not so
far advanced, the position of the crop
continues all that could be desired. A
moderate rainfall in May and June is
needed to realize upon present pros
poets, but the season is believed to
favor SUCH a condition as will be best
fitted for the needs of the growing
grain, and every development thus far
has been favorable.
The local situation is unchanged.
There is very little call for wheat. The
milers, who have been buying for the
past three or four weeks, are now
practically out of the market, as there
is no present demand for flour of con-
sequence, other than the big export
orders recently booked for Japan, to
cover which late purchases were made;
931hc is now accounted a full price
for bluestem, and club and red are not
particularly strong at S6kc.
According to Dun's, foreign news
continues favorable, though in France
and the United Kingdom the weather
has been rather too wet, while in
Spain droughty conditions prevail and
a famine is threatened in some por-
tons of the south. Shippers estimate
the exportable wheat surplus of India
with 64,O0O,OOO bushels shipped the
past nine months, against 100000
bushels the corresponding period the
previous year.

RESPONSIBILITY NOT FIXED.
coroner's Jury Fails to Ascertain Who
Caused Indians Death.

NORTH YAKIMA, April 21.-The
coroner's inquest held over the re-
mains of Jack Stage, the Indian found
dead Sunday in the rear of livery
stable, did not fix the responsibility for
his death. The jury heard the evidence
for four hours. The verdict was that
the Indian came to his death at the
dence except that of Jargon Joe has
implicated Drenner. Prosecuting At
torney KrutZ has decided to give Dren-
ner a preliminary hearing to test the
evidence he mas at hand.

DEVELOPMENT WORK AT HAIR
BERT's NOT so EXPENSIVE
AS ALLEGED.
CounciImen Satisfied With Showing
Made-Smith Says Enough Water
for Big City.

The statement made in Walla WAL
la paper today that the development
work being carried on at the Harbert
ranch has already cost the city be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 is not true.
While it is impossible to ascertain the
exact expenditures already made, ow-
ing to the fact that several small bills
contracted on the work have not been
flied with the water registrar, the total
ceeded $4,000 and will fall little under
this figure. 1t will be necessary to
sink two more wells on the Harbert
ranch, but the cost of these will not
exceed $1,000 bringing the total cost
Of the development work to not more
than $4,000.
The crews employed on the work un-
der the direction of Water Superin-
tendent Knight have been at work for
So days. The daily payroll amounts
to about $35 and incidental expenses
such as fuel for the engine, lumber for
timbering up the wells, expressage
ETC., brings the total daily expense up
to about $50. For the So days this
amounts to $500.
In addition to this the city has paid
the Harberts the sum Of $500 for the
privilege of sinking wells upon their
ranch; $3.50 for a second hand pump
which originally cost about $500; about
$685. for drilling 10 feet in Well No.
and incidentals approximating 5000.
The fees to be paid Engineer Thomson
have not been agreed upon between
the council and the engineer although
Councilman Smith said this morning
that it would not exceed $500.
1T might appear that some sort of
an agreement should have been made
between Engineer Thomson and the
city regarding what he expects to re-
ceive for his work." Councilman Smith
said, but it was a hard matter to es-
innate in advance just how much work
to do. Most of the work has been
done by our city engineer and Water
Superintendent Knight. Engineer
Thomson spent a week here last sum-
mer at the time he visited upper Mill
| creek looking into the feasibility of
taking water from the stream at a
point ~ or IA miles above the city.
Since then he has visited Walla Walla
twice, spending a day each time. I
would be surprised if his bill for this
preliminary work reaches $780,
Well Pleased at Results.
Councilman Smith, who is member
of the water committee, stated that he
was satisfied with the results already
obtained in the work of prospecting for
a subterranean flow. In we'll No. 4
which was but four feet and eight feet
in dimensions, a flow of $4,000 gallons
a day was developed, and we'll No. S
gives promise of producing an amount
equal or more than No. 4. Councilman
Smith said that half mile laterals, one
east, connecting with either No. or
No. will undoubtedly develop a sup
ply of water sufficient for a city of
10000 people. The work being prose-
cuted now is for the purpose of deter
mining just the right place to sink the
main receiving we'll.

 Unquestionably the schools should belong to the people and be absolutely free from the control or dictatlon or corporations. Had this policy been carried out years ago this unpleasant condition of school affairs would not now confront the people. The ERA believes in the American ldea of voting bonds for school purposes rather than depend upon the bounty or charity of any company.
 Rnt schools we must have. The public school system made America what it is today, and it laid the foundation of the greatest people and the grandest empire the world has ever known.
 If the people who have property
