FATHER SEEKS DAUGHTER
J.. BROOKS COMES ALL THE WAY
FROM GEORGIA TO FIND
HIS GIRL.
Young Lady EIoped With Eugene Hem
derson at Atlanta, November
Last Year.

Travelling over 5000 miles in search
of his daughter who eloped with a
young man named Eugene Henderson,
November, 1904, J. Brooks of Atlanta,
Georgia, arrived in Walla Walla this
morning and enlisted the aid of the
police. Mr.. Brooks, who came to WAL
la Walla direct from his home in
Georgia, says he mas good reason to
believe that Henderson and his daugh-
ter are in the state of Washington
and that it is within the range of pos
sibilites that they are in or near Wal
la Walla. Il :!
On descriptions sent out by the chief
of police of Atlanta two months ago
Officer Mike Davis picked up a young
man answering in minute detail the
description of Henderson, but the
Young fellow proved to the satisfac-
ton of the officers that he was not
he man wanted and he was allowed
to go his way. Miss Brooks is a mere
slip of a girl, hardly 20 years of
zoe. She is rather frail and weighed
bit 90 pound when she left her home
ncompany with Henderson.
Mr.. Brooks will remain in Walla
walla several days in an effort to gain
so-,7e trace of his daughter.

Columbia and Snake from Cello to
Lewiston, says the Portland Telegram.
Some talk mas been heard with refer
ence to the Telephone being bought
to go on the route between Portland
and The Dalles, but the owners of
that vessel deny that she has been
transferred as yet, and refuse to make
known on which part of the stream
she will run.
None of the regular steamers can be
secured to run in conjunction with
the portage in this end, as the own
ers state they would not care to make
a deal whereby they would handle
the freight from the portage road
until the track has been extened to
The Dalles. This additional line the
residents of The Dalles are reported
to be working to secure, but in the

of Oregon thousands of dollars is not

HOTEL PROJECT WILL Be GO
WALlA WALLA CAPITALISTS
WILL ORGANIZE COMPANY
AND ERECT BUILDING.
Negotiations Are On for Land Where
Pioneer Barn Stands on East
Main Street.

syndicate of wealthy business men
of Walla Walla is forming for the pur-
pose of erecting a $125,OO0 hotel within
six months on the site occupied by the
Pioneer barn on East Main street,
two doors above the Die Brucke block,
provided one of the owners of the
property VINO lives in the east will
consent to dispose of his holdings or
join in with the syndicate. If this
site cannot be secured the syndicate
will proceed to secure a site some
where in the business district.
The plan now proposed is to form a
corporation capitalized at $125, 1000 and
the necessary papers are being pre-
pared by a firm of Walla Walla law
yers. The men behind the movement
compose some of the wealthiest and
most progressive men in Walla Walla,
but they have requested that their
names not be disclosed until the plans
now being formed are fully matured.
One of the leaders in the move
ment to give Walla Walla a hotel not
surpassed in the way of appointments
by any hostelry in the northwest said
this morning: Myself and several
business men of means are behind the
movement to give Walla Walla a first
class hotel and plans for carrying out
the project are being formulated. The
syndicate will provide $4,000 in cash
and will float bonds for the balance
with a guaranteed interest of per
cent per annum. Until our plans are
more fully matured it will be impossi-

The witness said that the room

family before dressing and not for the
entertainment of callers.
Taggart finished at II O'Clock
and the cross-examination began.
The Taggarts' early welded life was
over in a few words and the witness
was questioned closely as to his drink
ing habits. He admitted that as a ca
det ne had not missed anything in the
drinking line and on his holiday visits
to New York. AT Fort Douglas he
drank temperately. He didn't remem-
ber ever being drunk. At Highwood
park, Chicago, he followed his GUS

Highwood he wOoed and married his
wife. He denied having induced his
wife to drink at Plattsburg and ne
did not remember that she drank cock
tails there He didn't remember intro
ducing her to cocktails. He couldn't
say whether he had offered her her
first drink of whiskey. At Fort Thom-

way to enforce the collection Of taxes

odd section in the county was formerly

thereon were allowed to make final
proof under the Wilson act, the rail-

Prior to the passing of the act taxes
were assessed against the lands in the
