THE SAME OLD STORY.

It's the same old story. Walla Walla
firms keep applying to us for office
help. Yesterday a stenographer and
bookkeeper was wanted; day before
yesterday came a call for a book
keeper. Last week two stenographers
were needed, and from a neighboring
town came an application for a
bookkeeper. These places are not
for the incompetent. We want loo
more young people to take our snort
hand and bookkeeping courses. We
want them to come with the detefmin-
alton to stay until they graduate. We
recommend our graduates. We get po-
sitions for them. Positions open now
are not for you. You can't do the
work, and they'll be filled before you
are ready But there'll be office help
needed next spring-still better places
perhaps, for business is increasing Are
you going to be ready? The Empire
Business College is at your SER
vice.

ton or the public has been admitted to
Rockefeller's Cleveland home.
Rockefeller responded readily to the
humorists' request for a drive through
the grounds in automobiles. Led by
Mayor Tom Johnson they proceeded to
Forest Hill, where a coachman guided
them through a labyrinth of shade
covered roads to the golf links, where
Rockefeller was playing with DIR. Big

new gray wig. He stepped lightly
across the grass to meet his visitors.
His eyes were bright, his cheeks rosy
and he had only slight stoop.

NEW YORK'S ANTI-TIP LAW.

The multiplying law of Senator
Martin SAKE of New York has gone
into effect and the district attorneys
office expects to do a land office bust
ness for a time in the Interpretation of
its provisions.
The law was intended by it's author
to get after the large amount of brib-
cry that is annually committed in New
York in the guise of gratuities or tips.
The buffers, coachmen, Wallets and
maids of the rich make enormous sums
every year by robbing their employers.
For example the butler is tipped to
direct the trade of the millionaire to-
ward certain dealers. The butcher,
the baker and all the rest of the deal
ers have arrangements with the but
lers whereby they get the trade and
he. butler gets bride which is prob
ably added to the cost of the goods or
subtracted from their weight The
maid is in the pay of the milliner and
dressmaker; the coachman has a
standing with the horse dealer, the
harnessmaker and the horseshoer The
employer is paying high prices for
ordinary service and the employee is
pocketlng more than his salary in
brides.
The law aims to restrain this class

The next year the legislature passed
a law reserving those lands from sale
or lease. When the five-year lease ran
out Gallagher applied for a new lease
under the law that gives him such
right. This was rejected because Of
the 1901 law, as there was subsequent
application for the purchase Of the
land. Then Gallagher sued. Palmer.
Brown & Graves appeared for CAL
lagher, and the attorney general de-
Tended the case.
Judge Linn decided that at the time
the law was passed Gallagher had
rights in the land which the act at
tempted to take away and that the
act was unconstitutional and void.

ROCKEFELLER VIEWED RELA-
lively.

Anything concerning the personal
ity or the business affairs of John D.
Rockefeller is of interest to the Ameri-
can people. Probably more has been
printed about him within the past year
or two than about any other American,
not a leader in public affairs. For
time nothing appeared in print ex-
cept criticism, and some of the cr1tl-
cism was severe indeed, nor can it be
said that it was not justifiable. Later
the Rockefeller attacks gave way to
more sober analytical summaries, and
these were interspersed from time to
time with articles on the defensive side.
Out of the world of matter covering
the man, mis- business connections, his
power, and the use and abuse of 1t.
s-ere will in time work out a clearer
suG.i. IS he is, will stand out.
Exclusive consideration of the I'M
,rr economic benefits following the
operations of the Standard Oil system,
will never give the picture in it's true
aspect nor will too close perusal of the
rather lame defenses now running in
print from time to time, avail much.
Somewhere in the underground there
stands the man who is the subject of
so much study, and from now on we
may expect the people to get the saner
view of him.
For instance, there are mis- benefac
lions. Few readers are able to fix in
their minds an exact standard of
measurement of them. The fact that
one day he gives a $10000,000 dona-
ton to educational purposes, makes a
change in opinion on the part of many
whose thoughts respecting him had
perhaps crystallzed into solidity.
Here then is one point about which
it is possible for the reader, who would
study Rockefeller without bias to
form definite idea of what
this means, for in the altruistic
means anything in itself, all things
being relative. Hence it is interesting
to note what proportion the Rockefel-
Ter gifts bear to the Rockefeller wealth
and income.
Everybody knows that the Rookie
Teller fortune is represented only in
part by the Standard Oil holdings, nor
is there a public knowledge of Rock
erfeller affairs wide enough to enable
the people closely to estimate the to-
tai. But for the Standard Oil end of it
We may turn to the Wall Street Jour
nal, and find that the market value of
the stock held by Rockefeller is S2O1.-
100000. We may learn that in 1898
Rockefellers income from the Stand
ard was $9,750,000; in 1899, $40, 725, 900;
in 1900, s15,60O,OO0; in 1901, again SIS
100000; in 1902, $14,625, 900; in 1898
s14.3O0,O0O; in 1904, 11,7OO,00O, and in
1905. according to estimate, s12,350, 900
Here is total income from this one
source in eight years of s1O4650, 900. 1t
is said by the same authority that the
oil kings aggregated receipts from
other corporations in which he is
heavily interested, exceed mis- Standard
Oil income, so that in eight years he
has received an income of over $685.
100000, and is likely to realize it in
definitely.

view of the Rockefeller attitude TO-

The Land OperatfOma,

Tokio, June 2.-(Noon. )-with the destruction of Russia's naval power, in terest Is returning to military opera tions on land. Togo's victory tremen- dously alters the military situation and removes all limits of offensive opera tions against Russia's maritime prov inces. It is now possible to effectively close Vladivostok, seize Sakhalin, the mouth of the Amur River, Kamtchatga and any point between the Tumun River and the arctic circle that Japan may desire.
 A foreign military observer. discuss ing the question with the correspord- ent of the Associated Press, says:
 Togos victory may drive Russia away from the Pacific coast of Asia Japan now has a free hand in Russia's maritime provinces and her offensive capability is limited. Nothing bars the way except the Russian force at Vladi- vostok. whose speedy isolation is pos sible. The Amur River is open to Ja- pan, and Russia's defensive capabillty is now entirely limited to the capacity of the Chinese-Siberian Railway.

oN INCENpIARY FIRE.
Prompt Work by Policemen Prevented
 Serious Blaze.

Mounted patrolmen Pendergrass and Thorn discovered a fire of incendiary origin in the rear of Mrs. c. Hirsch's s home, 19 Alabama Street at 12:30 o'clock last night and by quick work prevented a fire that would have destroyed the house.
 A pint bottle of kerosene oil was found sitting near a pillar of the house near the back porch and oil had been thrown on the side of the house before the match was touched to it. Mrs. Hirsch said that a negro woman who lived in a house in her back yard had been spoken to by her about her rent told to move unless she paid the de- linquent money She knew of no one else who might have 9 motive to de- stroy her home.
 About 11:20 o'clock Mrs. Hirsch dis covered that the parlor was filled with smoke. She searched the house for any sign of fire, but failed to find any. She telephoned to police headquarters. reporting what she had found and Act ing Night Sergeant E. P. Smith asked her if she wished the fire department called to her home. She answered that she did not know whether the house was on fire or not, but she would like to have some one investigate and find where from the smoke was coming. Mounted Officers Pendergrass and Thorn immediately went to the place and after a diligent search found the cause.
 A thorough investigation will be made by the police.

A Remarkable Story.

Tokio, June 2.-4 D. m.)-It is planned to bring the battleship Orel to Yokusha, where the Emperor will wis 1t her.
 A remarkable story Is in circulation concerning the wounded on the Orel. It is said that at the opening of the fight 300 men were killed and wound ed. and that the groans and shr1eks of the wounded exercised so harmful eff feet that 1t was decided to throw the mortally wounded into the sea.
 One hundred and forty, it s said. were thrown overheard.
 Those slightly wounded were fast ened to the masts to prevent their in- terference with the fighting of the ship.
 It is impossible to obtain any confir- nation of this story, but later reports indicate that the crews fought with desperate bravery throughout the day previous to their surrender. The hull of the vessel Is shell marked. and many nf her guns are smashed and dis mounted.

Togo still Searching.

Tokio. June 2.-(1O:30 p. m.)-Admi- ral Togo, telegraphing yesterday, says
 The ships sent northward to search for Russian ships returned yesterday The cruisers Iwate and Yakumo and other vessels sent southward to find Russian ships returned today. They thoroughly searched the Shanghai course from Tsu Shima and vicinity but on both sides found no trace of the Russians"
 Admiral Shimamura, on board the cruiser Iwate, reports:
 During the battle on May 27, at O7 D. m, the cruiser Iwate vigorously at- tackled the protected cruiser Jemtchue at a distance of 5000 meters. The Jem- tchug sank in one minute. The loss of the Jemtchug is therefore confirmed
 During the engagement fire broke out on the Jemtchug and smoke con- ceaIed the hull of the vessel Conse- quently the remainder of our fleet were unable to see the ship"

Can,t Forgiye Nebogatoff.

St. Petersburg, June 3.-Feeling in the admiralty against Rear Admiral Nebogatoff continues to run high, the majority ofthe naval authorities being deaf to the appeals of the few who in- sist that the admiraps action in sur rendering his warships should not be condemned until the circumstances be- come fully known. The majority say they could forgive anything but sur render and point to the precedent set in the case of the Russian warship Raphael which in 1929 during the Rus so-Turkish war struck its colors to three Turkish ships which surrounded it. Nicholas I. meted out a terrible punishment to the officers and crew of the Raphael, ordering that all of them should be shot after their exchange and directing that if the ship should ever be recaptured it's infamous history should be plotted out by the total de- struction of the vessel.
 The Raphael, strange to say, was re- captured thirty-four years later at Si- nope during the Crimean war. son of the captain who surrendered her taking part in the battle, and to this son fell the task of executing the dead em- peror's orders to destroy her. Many naval authorities declare that the em- peror should reserve the same fate for Admiral Nebogatoff.
 
 cruisers Oleg and Aurora has been generally abandoned, some of the naval authorities believe it possible that their commanders, realizing that the fleet had been practically destroyed and that Vladivostok as harbor of refuge would only prove a death trap in the end, laid their course either for Nicho1- aieff at the mouth of the Amur River or for Petropavlovsk in Kamtchatka There is plenty of coal at both places to replenish the bunkers of the cruis- CTS. The ships could then escape across the Pacific and either be interned in the United States or return by way of Cape Horn. One reason which the Aurora may elect to go to Petropavlovsk Is that the commander married a Kant chatkan woman and is thoroughly fa- miliar with the waters of that coast. The Novoe Vremya has taken up the suggestion of Admiral Avellan, head of the Russian admiralty department, that the disaster to the Russian fleet does not necessarily mean the collapse of the campaign in the far east, as a text for an article preaching a vigorous prose- cution of the war on land to the bitter end,

London. June 2.-The bye-election in the Whitby division of the North Rid ing of Yorkshire yesterday, following the succession Ernest w.

Baron Grimthorpe, April 29, resulted in the election of a liberal, Nobulxton, ly a majority of 445 over Gervase Beckett, unionist, brother of the late member for Whitby. This was a crushing defeat for the govern ment as the election was fought mainly on the fiscal question and in view of the fact that Whitby had been a conserva- tive stronghold for twenty years.

The diplomats agree that Russia must decide whether the peace negotia- tions shall begin. The idea that there is any concerted movements of the powers to force mediation upon the belligerents is rejected. The United States Is mentioned as the only power which might possibly undertake such delicate role, but President Roosevelts attitude against taking any action ex- cept at the request of Russia is well known. The suggestion comes from Paris, however, that President Roose- welt might be induced to act upon the initiative of Foreign Minister Delcasse, France strongly urging Russia to make peace, but being in no position to initi- ate direct action.
