Prepared TO carry the largest num-
ber of people ever coming to the Pa
cific coast" is the way S. d. Calder
head, travelling freight and passenger
agent of the W. & C. r.. expressed It.
when speaking of the prospects for
heavy travel over the Northern Pa
cific this year.
The W. & C. r. and the Northern
Pacific are now in readiness for the
tourist rush which will begin about
February 90, the reduced rates taking
effect February 10. The advertising
campaign conducted in the East by
Western railroads has prepared for
one OF the greatest passenger move
ments toward the Pacific Coast, in
the history of the Northwest, and the
object Of the Northern Pacific and
W. & C. r. lines will be to place
actual homeseekers, wherever posi-
BILE. AS the future business of the
roads depends on the increase of bus
mess in the farming communities,
just so are the roads interested in
bringing a permanent class of peo-
pie. that will locate and add wealth
to the country.
Mr., Calderhead was in the city last
night, and returned home to walla
Walla this morning over the o. r. &
n. He is pleased with the business
volume being enjoyed by Rendleton,
and looks for another year OF almost
unprecedented prosperity for the
[ farmers. The traffic of the W. & C.
Z r. is increasing constantly. as the
country settles up along its lines in
Washington and oregon and as more
products are shipped from ;he older
settled communities. As its business
+ increases II will extend and Improve
( its facilities for handling both pas
l senger and freight business.
Mr.. calderhead has great faith in
the irrigation schemes now being pro-
NOTED in the arid counties of Wash.
ington, through which the W. & c
r. passes. and hopes to see a bona
fide settlement made on those idle
tracts of land. within the next few
years.

senger conductor on the Pendleton-
Huntington run, on the o. r. & N,
and for five years a resident of Pen
dleton. died Sunday at McMinnville
or, after a long and painful illness
with stomach trouble. Five years
ago Mr. Crater was forced to resign
his position on the o. r. & n. be-
cause OF i'll health. and since that
time he has resided in Colorado and
other states. in the mountain region
in hopes of finding more cOngenial
climate. He was 40 years of age and
member of the knights Templar
by which order the funeral was con-
Quoted yesterday.

Trouble is again brewing in the
Little Walla Walla Irrigation District
and yesterday evening proceedings
were started to prevent the officers
of the district from levying what is
termed an unjust and illegal tax up
on certain property within the dis
trict.
HALEY & Lowell are attorneys for
the plaintiffs. and the objection is
made to the levy made by the cOllec-
tor for the district on the ground
that the levy is on irrigated lands
only. While the law provides that a
district may levy an assessment upon
land according to the benefit that
has been derived from work done, it
is the contention of the complainants
that inasmuch as no work has been
done by the district, no particular
class of land has received more bene-
fit than another. and consequently
the assessment should be made upon
all lands alike. Were this done. the
tax upon the irrigated lands would
amount to but one-third of the
amount levied. The tax levied is for
the purpose OF raising money with
which TO meet the expenses of suits,
salaries Of officials. etc. No bitches
have been constructed, those in use
being old ones.
Those who signed the complaint
are as follows: James Adrien. Fred
Beller. Woodson Cummins Wary
Cobb. d. Clark. Harry Garret Joe
Hoon, Louis Johnson. r. McRae,
George Overturff, o. n. Preston. ].

trOyerSy


a remonstrance has been filed in
the office OF Superintendent welles
protesting against the proposed d.
vision Of district No. 49, east of wes-
ton. II is signed by ]. z. English

satisfactory that the two districts
were again united. Also. II is alleged
that under the proposed division there
will be s21.9s4 in taxable property

900 in the other. thus working an in
justice on the smaller one.
The petition for the division of dis

Apropos of the recent check swim

is on him.

For simple Graduations .

Simpler graduatiors especially in the
matter of the girls gowns, are sgitating
Lewiston. At meeting of the school
board last week the matter was discussed
at length.
1t was stated that the gown worn by one
girl who graduated from grammar school
last year cost $50. Other girls could not
graduate because they could not afford to
dress as well as their classmates. A re-
quest was made from one family that the
girls diploma be given to her at home on
that account. Other girls dropped out OF
the school during the winter term because
of the same reason.
The most that il was thought best for
the board to do was to recommend that
less costly gowns be worn, but the matter
was finally left to the superintendent and
grammar school committee.

The New Steamboat Line.


The public will hail with satisfac-
ton the establishment Of asteamboat
line between Ellsworth and various
island towns, for it will bring them in
closer touch than has heretofore been
possible.
1t will give direct communication
with both SWANS Island and the lower
end of Mt. Desert Island, and, in con-
nection with the boats OF the Eastern
Steamship Co, will also bring Ston-
ington into closer touch with US.
It will also do away with the not
always agreeable ride of four miles
between Ellsworth and Surry, and
will also do away with the freight haul
between the two points.
The establishment of a mail route
between Ellsworth and Swans Island
and intermediate landings will be
asked for, and will in all probability
be granted.
Altogether the change is likely to
prove a benefit all around, and it is to
be hoped that every possible effort
will be made by the people here to
patronize the venture.

that the lessee execution OF such cove
