Two years ago the first paymen

Two years ago the first payment
was made, amounting to $45S,000. The
recovery of this lump sum gave
great satisfaction to all the people
of the state except the leaders of the
fight upon Gov. La Toilette, who
would rather have lost the money
than to have the governor get any
credit for collecting it. Their cha
grin was somewhat alleyiated by
the chance that was offered them to
find fault with the disposition that
was made of the money. 1t was put
into the general fund-tEa only fund
it could have been put into without
an act of the legislature-and the
legislature had not seen fit to act.
After this $45S,OOO was collected
the work of getting the balance was
prosecuted without any abatement,
with this result, that on the LIST
of March the comptroller of the
treasury department at Washington
handed down a decision in favor of
the state, under which the state was
awarded $725,SSLSS.

THERE is much of encouragement,
in the news from New England that
religious revivals partake of more OF
the spirit Of the old time meetings
than ever before. that the words OF
eloquent interpreters OF Christian
teachings are listened to with rapt
attention, that whole communities
appear to be more deeply stirred aud
their interest keeuly aroused.

UNFORTUNATE OLD NAN
Aged Resident Must Seek Charity
From Citizens.

Admiral Owens, an old-time resi-
dent of Walla Walla who claims to
be los years of age, was picked up
by the police yesterday and taken to
the county Jail where he is being held
until some means of providing the old
man with a home are evolved. Owens
is rather particular where he resides
and has frequently changed his resi-
dence the past year. At one time he
stayed with a granddaughter who pro-
vided him with a good home but he
tired of the surroundings and was
taken to the county poor farm where
relatives paid for his keep.
About week in the country salts
fed him and he came to the city and
was wandering around the streets
when picked up by the police and
turned over to Sheriff Painter for safe
keeping. Owen claims that he partici-
pated in the battle of Lundy's Lane,
fought between the British and Amer
leans near Buffalo, n. Y, in 1914. The
old man relates many interesting in
cidents of President Andrew Jackson
and Van Buren,.

GIVES UP ITS CLAIM.
Government May Go Ahead With Yak
ina Irrigation Project.

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The re-
clamation service has received from
Goveror Mead and Land Commissioner
Ross a request that the secretary of
the interior take precedence over the
states selection of $4,000 acres in Yak
ina valley which it was originally in
tended to irrigate under the extension
of the Sunnyside canal.
This leaves the government clear
field to enter the Yakima valley and
construct an irrigation system which
will materially increase the farm area.
Field engineers in Yakima county
have been ordered to rush investiga-
tons so that the government can at
the earliest possible day begin work.
1t is possible, however, no final de-
cision can be reached until late in the
fall

THE ALDER STREET PIANO
STORE,

We noticed Doctor Herbs write up
Sounding Brass and Thinking Gym
BALI as though it was hot. Sorry
brother, We had no idea it would burn
you so.
We promised readers of this paper
some interesting facts concerning
profits of itinerant vendors of Pianos
who claim their profits are small and
others large. This Piano war has been
brewing for two years and We propose
to thresn it out now. For reasons of
our own we defer the subject for a
day or so.
We offer as bargains one square
Piano; excellent tone, action and care
good, for $40.
Another square, good tune, but care
marred for $40.
A neat little secondhand upright
Piano, case slightly damaged, $40.
A payment of S. down and s. per
month on any of these Pianos. These
Pianos are worth more money, but we
need the room very much just at pres
ent and have marked them down.

THE POSTAL DEFICIT.

The postal deficit this year was over
twelve millions of dollars. Various
reasons are assigned for this unusu-
ally large deficit One is that the
rural free delivery is to blame; an
other that second-class mail matter
is carried at a rate disprOportiOnate
to the cost; another is the excessive
charges of the railroads for carrying
the mails; still another is the large
amount of free matter franked out by
members of congress at great expense
to the postal department.
The rural free delivery, of course,
was never expected to be a paying
department of the service City de-
livery was never expected to be a
paying business. The postoffice de-
partment is not run as a revenue pro-
to fifteen millions Of dollars a year
above receipts for good postal service
is something that the people are not
likely to complain of. They are going
to complain, however, when the priv
ileges of the mails are abused, as they
unquestionably are, by the franking
privilege. There are no figures avail
able as to what the transportation of
franked pamphlets, garden seeds,
books and laundry amount to, but it
is certainly a large burden upon the
postal service and something which
should be curtailed or eliminated al
together before any thought is enter
tanned of abridging the rural delivery
or any other delivery.
Rural free delivery is not only CIV
ing the people of the rural districts
something to show for the taxes they
pay, but as a factor in improving the
conditions of rural life it is of the
highest Importance. 1t is the daily
mail which removes most of the OBJ
jectiOns to the isolation of farm life.
When the farmer can get his daily pa
per he feels once more closely in touch
with the public generally and he and
his family are brought into a relation
ship to their fellows which can be es-
tablished in no other way.
While the government is not expect
ed to create conditions of comfort and
satisfaction for it's citizens, it GER
tainly is doing much in the daily dis
tribution of intelligence through the
rural free delivery to make those citi-
zens better qualified to discharge the
duties of citizenship. A marked i'm
provement in the conditions of rural
life has already been noted as a re-
suit of rural free delivery, which mas
been in operation scarcely more than
a dozen years.

HOW TO LIVE LONG.
alm1t of Activity Should Be Ninety
Years, Says DR.. Wiley.


DR.. H. w. Wiley, chief of the bureau

way of increasing the average length
Of life. Progress in science, he says,
will soon put the limit of activity up to
ninety years.
start with a good pedigree, then
live nationally" is DR.. Wiley's sum-
ming up. He promulgates three laws
Of health the observance of which will
put any naturally healthy individual
IN fair way to realizing the truthful
ness Of the scientists theory These
are temperance, work and play.
ITO live long one must live moder-
ately both as to eating and drinking"
says DR.. Wiley Youthful dissipaters
die between thirty-fve and forty-tive
years of age. Age hardens the veins.
Tissue is not built up then as III youth.
When the veins harden they are liable
to snap without warning. This causes
a large proportion Of the sudden
deaths.
Babies should not be too fat. It Is
handicap to later development. Start
ing with strong, healthy body and
living temporarily, the next requisite
is work. Idlers rust out. Workers
should exercise their talents in q way
to prolong life by following great en-
deavors by periods devoted to play.
Recreation is an essential part Of the
recipe for old age. Amusement is as
necessary as sustained endeavor If one
looks for mentality and health in old
age.
ITO achieve this desired end science
is working hard. 1t is exposing the
fake medicines, which do harm and no
good; it Is discovering new means Of
methods of checking such ravages. 1t
is appalling to think of the number Of
babies who die because Of improper
feeding and dosing. Science is winning
out against such scourges as diphthe-
ria, consumption and contagious dis
eases.
"These scientific facts and develop
ments give assurance that the average
human life of usefulness will be in
creased to seventy years instead Of for
ty and that the maximum Of ordinary
activity will be increased from the
present threescore years and ten to
ninety years. Then there will be more
examples Of men who have lived prop
erly who will reach a century of life.
What used to be regarded as gen.
