Editor Got His Money.


Editor Martin Ferguson, of the
Adams Advance, and justice of the
peace for Adams, stopped the Walla
Walla-Pendleton passenger train for
a few moments this morning while he
was collecting an overdue bill for print
ing and advertising from the Congo
Coons,' a colored aggregation of sing
ers, dancers and vaudeville bill jump
ers
Editor Ferguson was at the o. r. &
N. depot as the train came in this
morning expecting to greet the
"Coons," but they remained in the car
them he would have to board the train
and he did so.
Rushing through the cars he found
mis- Ministries and demanded his pay,
and being refused at first, began max
ing preparations to have the crowd ar
rested, when the bill was paid and the
editor and justice allowed to get off
the train which by this time had pro-
ceeded for some distance toward Pen
dleton. With mis- cash in his pocket
and his temper considerably worse for
the wear, ne walked back to Adams
and the train with the Congo COOns''
aboard, proceeded to Pendleton.-East

Condor Mills Run With Crude Oil.

The machinery in the Gillian
County Milling cOmpanys big plant
is all in place and the crude oil fires
were lighted for the first time last
week. The machinery was operated for
two or three days simply as a
smoothing up process and was
found to work in a manner most
pleasing to the operatives and the
company. AS soon as the water we'll
is completed and a sufficient amount
of water is assured to keep the boil
ers supplied, the plant will be started
on its regular run and the output of
flour will only be limited by the supply
of wheat, which, in a wheat belt like
Gillian county, should in another year
prove amply adequate for the demand
of some 1900 bushels per day. The
plant is strictly first-class and up-to-
date in every respect and is one of the
most important industries in the city

S1.OO Per Year
A Weak Point In Our Navy.

Admiral Rae thinks the present time
when there Is no fighting in prospect
for years to come. a fitting one to open
~ discuss a vital point In our naval
harness which is so weak that, to use
the admirars own language, the navy
would find itself unable TO win bat
ties" 1t is better TO learn that truth
now than to have it disclosed by dis
aster in the event of war. The weak
ness consists of a woeful lAck of en-
gineering skill TO carry the guns to the
firing line on our modern complicated
ships. Naval engineering is in the
highest degree a technical science and
one not TO be mastered by every officer
who may have general capacity for the
service.
A bill to equip every naval officer
with engineering experience has been
on the books for three years but for
q variety of reasons little has been
done to carry out Its provisions. Chief
among the drawbacks TO the system
adopted by the bill referred to is the
dislike of the average aaval officer for
the duties of the engine room. Fur
thermore, many an officer who is capa-
BILE in every other branch has no apti-
tude for mechanical science.
Our navy is necessarily great bur
den financially, and if it Is to be main
tained should always be ready for war.
In 1898 we were plunged into con-
fiict ON short notice. Russia was taken
by surprise in 1904, and the want Of
naval mechanics and engineers Is be-
iieved to have caused the delay in the
sailing of the Baltic feet. Admiral
Rae Is at the head of the engineering
department of the navy and speaks Ia
plain language, with full knowledge OF
his subject. He says that young ofti-
GERS who would not be trusted alone In
charge OF the deck of a warship have
been placed alone at the head OF the
engine room. In one notable instance
of recent date this state OF things led

lives than many stirring naval bat
tie. The scarcity of officers caused BY
the large number of ships In cOmmis-
sion has In a measure prevented the
training OF the younger men In engi-
neering duties 1t is proposed BY Ad-
mlral Kae that this training be no
longer neglected for any cause and
that instruction In the engine room be
given under the supervision of special
lists detailed for the duty. Even this
plan would require years to bring out
supply Of officers competent to
handle ship under all circumstances
And as fast as the warships multiply
in number more competent engineer Of
ficers will he needed.

The name of Charles Boursel, a
French soldier, is put forward as the
first inventor of the telephone as long
ago as 1854. This too modest French
man was content TO merely challenge
scientists to prove that the laws OF
physics contradicted his theory. Al
American impressed with the same
idea went to work to demonstrate that
no law of physics stood in the way and
reaped the reward OF his daring.
