ROADS ARE IN 5000 SHAPE
Farmer Commends Commissioner Nc
Cav for His Work.

THE farmers on Eureka Flat near
Snake river have none but words of
praise for County Commissioner Nc
Cav for the excellent work he has per-
formed by the improvement of the
county roads in our section" said J.
F. Wilson, farmer from Snake river,
who was visitor in Walla Walla to-
day. There has been more work done
on the roads and in a more practical
manner during the past two years
than was accomplished under the old
system in the past II years. An ex-
cellent road has been constructed to
the river and many of the old roads
that for years were almost impossible
have been put in thorough condition.
The farmers in that locality are highly
pleased with the new system of road
work and as soon as we can get a few
more outlets there will be no complaint
coming from u.s.

ATTENTION VOTERS!

John B. Wilson is a candidate for
reelection to the office of city surveyor.
See his card in another column. He
wants the office and if elected will not
run a bluff on the council to get his
salary raised. He will not play the
baby act. Cement sidewalks do not
require relaying at great expense, both
to property owners and contractors,
when his grades have been followed.
He can find his stakes six months after
placing them, because he is a thor
oughly competent surveyor. Voters
and property owners kindly stand at
one end of a street graded under his
survey then make similar inspec-
ton of his competitors official work;
but your pardon, Mr.. Voter for COM
parsons are Odious. A vote for Will
son will be a vote cast for good,
careful, successful surveyor. He has
been and will be satisfied with the SAL
airy, 500 per month as fixed by the
council. He does not ask $3.50 nor $125
per month. He is not a salary grab
Der. Vote for J. B. Wilson for city
surveyor.

is BIG CRATER
He Received $4,000 on One Occasion
for Advance Information Re-
garding Cotton.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson this morning
formally dismissed Edwin F. Holmes,
associate statistician, for having used
government cotton reports for specula-

vice men shows that Holmes on one
occasion received $4,000 from a firm
of brokers, presumably for advance in
formation, although the transaction
was disguised as a payment for mining
stock which it is alleged was worth
less. There will be no prosecution as
there is no statute to cover the case.

MAKE LAND DEAL.
Now the Melhams Of Sioux City Have
Remarked.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, July s.-Di-
vorced to enable the husband to sell his
property to the Great Northern Rail-
road company at good price, while
his wife was travelling in Europe and
refused to return home and sign the
Iced Thomas Melham and his wife,
Martha Melham of this city were hap
PLY remarked the day after her re-
turn from Europe.
The story has to do with persistent
right-of-way agent defiant wife,
smooth real estate man and an avaris-
ious Jew.
The great Northern Railroad COM
pany purchased $4,000 worth of
property in Sioux City last year for
terminal purposes. The little lot and
store of Tom Melham were among the
property. When the agents of the rail-
road company approached Melham
they easily settled on price and the
deed was drawn up. Right-of-W Way
Agent John Snapp asked Melham to
have his wife sign the instrument, but
the Hebrew explained that she was In
Europe He said he would nave her
return at once and sign the deed. By
the next mail funds went to Europe
for his wife to return, but she did not
answer.
The husband grew anxious. He
feared he would lose the chance Of SELL
ing He imagined the money sent mis-
wife had gone astray. Another draft
was sent and the bank was asked to
issue duplicate of the first one. But
the bank found that the first draft had
been cashed by Mrs. Melham. In few
weeks the second draft was returned.
1t had been paid to the wife of the
Sioux City man, who was now becom-
ing desperate. He was out two fares
from Europe, wife and was unable
to dispose of his property.
Then the right of-way agent limited
at the divorce. The idea was good
one. and the Hebrew declared in his
petition that the woman had "wilfully
and maliciusly absented herself from
the bed and board of the plaintiff
The divorce was granted. Cost SIS.
Then came the days when the deed
was to be given. The right of-Way
agent rendered the amount, but Mel
ham hesitated. He declahed he had
gone to extra expense to give the deed
| and wanted more money.
Il sent her money two times and she
didn't come, then 1 got the divorce.
1t was SIS and 1 have stood all the
costs myself" explained Melham to Mr..
Snapp.
But look at the price you received
for the lot" argued the right of-way
agent. "You don't want us to pay for
the divorce, do you?"
"Vell, 1 would like to have you take
it into consideration replied Melham,
after a moments hesitation.
| WELL we are giving you enough for
the property. If we pay for the divorce
you will want us to pay for new we'd
| ding when your wife returns"
True to mis- promise that he would
tmarry his wife again, Melham met her
| at the station and an elaborate We'd
| ding followed the next day.
