Alfalfa Needs Rain.

The first crop of Alfalfa in the Echo
vicinity and on Butter creek is nearly
all in the stack and in many instances
the second crop is nearly foot high.
The first crop was trifie short this
season on account of little snow in the
mountains last winter. The yield is
from two to three tons to the acre and
in few cases, where water was OBJ
tanned later, was more. The second
crop may also be a little short, but a
few rains from now until July 10 or
15 will make vast difference in the
crop. No prices are being quoted as
yet and little hay is being sold. Pas
ture is still good and few will buy
until hot weather comes and dries up
the range.

symptoms of Lively Fight In tho Walla
Walla Election.
The first symptoms of contest for
city offices in the Walla Walla city
election on Monday, July 10, are be-
ing manifested in the First ward by
William Glasford, present council
man, and John +. Mclean, ex-council-
man of that ward, both aspiring for
the Office of councilman. The issue
being torcibly brought before the
people is the open or closed town
question.
Friends of both candidates are ask
ing voters to be- sure and register.
Friends of Mr.. Giasford assert that
Mr.. Mclean is for wide open town,
and that it was his vote that defeated
the high saloon license ordinance some
years ago. They charge that Mr..
Mclean voted for the compromise
raising the license from $3.50 TO 5000,
and that in his speech before the vote
was taken he said that he did not wish
to see any man closed out of business,
no matter what his business was.
Mr.. MeLean's friends in turn say
that there is mistake in believing
that Mr.. Glasford is not for an open
town, as he was in favor of prolong-
ing the time for the denizens of the
red light district to move from the
first floor of buildings. They also
argue that for the reason that Mr..
Glasford owns race horse and fire.
quents a race track that his sympath-
les are with the other faction.
For other city offices there will be
no fight. William Kirkman. who
was appointed to fill Eugene Boyer's
unexpired term, will have no opposi-
ton, provided that he takes no hand
in the municipal election other than to
further. his own intereset. ]. z.
Smith may not have opposition, al
though the saloon element threatened
to place William Retzer on the ticket
to oppose him.
For city treasurer r. P. Reynolds
win have no opposition, nor will City
Attorney Blanford, or City Health
Officer Ingram. Chief of Police

The CLAIMS MADE
HENEY TELLS THE MITCHELL
JURY WHAT he WILL PROVE
Says Senator Mitchell Received Il
legal Fees With Complete
knowledge of Illegality.

The trial of United States Senator
John H. Mitchell is now fully open.
The following jury will try the case:
G. Steiner, merchant, Salem; FL.
Cleveland, farmer, Salem; Ed Daley,
farmer, Kerby, Josephine county; r.
L. Oliver, grocer, Pendleton; Bert
Leabo, farmer, McMinnville; J. A.
Baxter, farmer, Dallas; J. p Clauson,
farmer, Riverton, Coos county; S. I.
Hobert, farmer, Silverton; s. A. Carl
ton, farmer, Wellen, Jackson county
B. +. Grant, farmer, Harlan, Lincoln
county; Frank Warren, farmer, War
renton, Clatsop county; w. H. Lewis,
farmer, Jewel, Clatsop county.
In the federal court before Judge
DeHaven, and in crowded court
room with dramatic intensity, Dis
trict Attorney Heney outlined the
governments case against Senator
Mitchell to the jury.
He stated the government is prepar-
ed to prove not only the specific al
legations in the indictment of Mitchell
of receiving fees for services perform
ed before the departments of govern
ment during the time he was senator,
in cases in which the government was
interested, but as member of the
firm of Mitchell & Tanner, he repeat
edly made use of his public Office for
private gain, with the full knowledge
at the time he was violating the law
in receiving those fees.
He stated he would prove the exist
ence of an original partnership con-
tract with A. H. Tanner, whereby
Mitchell received one-half of the pro-
ceeds of the business taken in Portland
and the entire proceeds of the business
done before the department at Wash
ington.
Also that two agreements were en-
tered into by Mitchell and Tanner
with Frederick Kribs, whereby 70
timber claims were expedited to pat
ent by the firm for the sum of $4,000,
Mitchell personally appearing before
the land office and writing letters to
secure patents.
He stated he will prove similar
agreement made by the firm with
John A. Benson of California, for
81, 500 for expediting claims; also
with w. A. Burke and the Cook s
Inlet Coal company, for $500 each,
the money i'll each case being divided
with Mitchell. Also that Mitchell
accepted fees from Chinese merchants
in Portland for appearing before the
department of commerce and labor to
secure the admission of immigrants.
He also secured lieu lands for the
Booth Kelly Lumber company before
the land Office for fees, and at the
same time was stock holder in the
company.
The aged defendant listened to the
accusations without moving a muscle.
Judge Bennett for Senator Mitchell
followed Heney, and stated the offense
alleged was not inherently wrong and
did not show moral turpitude. He
said the Tanner Mitchell agreement
was made prior to Mitchell's election
as senator.
Frederick A. Kribs, the first wit
ness, testified to paying Mitchell g
Tanner for expediting his claims to
patent.

MASON PAlLPoT FOR SHERIFF

Mr. Mason Philpot announces in to-
days issue of the Graphic as a candi-
date for the Office of sheriff. subject
to the action of the Democratic pri-
maries Mr.. Philpot has been resi-
dent of Jefferson county for thirty
years, is known by everybody in the
county and highly respected by all
" hO know him. He cast his first vote
for the compromise ticket in 1878, and
took an active part in the election,
serving as clerk of the election in
Pastoria township. where the negroes
outnumbered the whites twenty to
one, and at that time it required men
of courage to hold such positions.
There has never been an election in
Jefferson county since that time in
which Mr.. Philpot has not taken an
active interest and advocated the
election of the straight DemOcrtic
the same. which made it possible for
Democrats to hold the offices of sher
iff and clerk At the solicitation of
influential citizens he accepted the Of
fee of constable of Vaugine township
at time when that Office was dis
grace to any community, making of
it a respectable Office AS chief of
police of the city of Pine Bluff, he
made a clean record, and received the
praise of the whole people of the city
for the faithful discharge of the du-
ties of that office. AS chief deputy
under the present sheriff he has been
courteous and accommodating to ev-
erybody who has had business with
that office, and faithful in the dis
charge of every duty. He has never
held a county office, and is now ask
ing promotion from chief deputy to
sheriff. He is thoroughly qualified for
the duties of the position by education
and experience, and his long and de-
voted service to the Democratic party
entities him to the serious considera-
ton of the voters of that party.
