You can just say for me that we
have got some of the finest roads in
the county, remarked M. M. Williams,

Williams is in charge of irrigation
operations being promoted by Walla
Walla parties near Lowden station and
was in the city on business yesterday.
He also owns an SO-acre alfalfa tract
in that vicinity, obtaining water from
the Walla Walla river.
The road crew in Commissioner
McCaw's district is just finishing up
about Is miles of roadway in the west
part of the county that is simply per-
lection and reflects great credit upon
the commissioner and Road Supervisor
Lanning. Many of the roads which
have just been completed were mere
bogs and almost impossible at times in
the winter and spring. The roadbeds
have been rounded up and graded so
that they have the appearance of race
courses. The drainage is perfect and
with little attention the roads will last
for years.

BIG OPIUM JOINT IMMEDIATELY
BACK OF THE STATESMAN
OFFICE.
Dive Patronized by Men and Women
AIike-PIace Runs Without
Interference.

An opium joint exists in the brick
building Immediately back of the
Statesman office. The place is con-
Quoted by Chinese, and white girls
and men are in the habit of visiting
the joint at all times of the day and
night without interference. The smok-
ing of opium in this den has become
so bold that those who have contract
ed the habit of hitting the pipe" have
no hesitancy in visiting the joint at
all hours of the day.
Yesterday afternoon two white girls,
denizens of the underworld, walked
down the alley past the Statesman
office and into the joint. They did not
glance around to see if anyone was
watching Them but stepped up to the
door of the Chinese mouse and walked
in without so much as knocking.
These formalities have been dispensed
with for some time.
The girls remained in the house for
about an hour when mack called ana
took them away. The girls appeared
hold the office of ontary public In this
tumbled recklessly into the hack to
be driven home. Last night about
o'clock a fasnionably dressed woman,
stopped at the entrance Of the alley
on Third street. She waited until sew
eral pedestrians had passed when she
darted up the alley into the Chinese
house closing the door with bang.
| The woman had refined appearance
but had evidently contracted the
opium habit and is a regular patron
| of thu Joint.

THE CARPENTERS UNION HAD A
STORMY SESSION AT A
CALLED MEETING.
Had Big Fight Over the Adoption Of
Agreement Made With the Con.
tractors Association.

At a special meeting of the Carpen-
tiers and Joiners Union held Saturday
evening John Rush, was deposed as
president and the vice president
elected to fill the place temporarily.
An attempt was made to keep the act
ion of the meeting secret, but the de-
tails leaked out today. From the story
as told by several members of the un-
ion the trouble that resulted in the
office being declared vacant arose over
the question of signing the agreement
made by tine union and the Builders
and Contractors association of Walla
Walla.
1t appears that several weeks ago
committees from the two organizations
met and drafted an agreement calling
for eight hours labor for all carpenters
with the minimum wage scale placed at
SO per day. The contractors adopted
the agreement, but when the subject
CdIIlc USIOiC tllC OLiOH a lIIOl1Oil "
adopt was defeated by a narrow mar
GIN This was brought about, it is
claimed by, by some members of the
union, by certain carpenters who are
in the employ of a certain contractor.
VINO maintained that the proceedings
were not regular. The matter was
taken up with the national organiZa-
ton of the carpenters union, which
body rendered a decision that the pro-
ceedings were regular. A special meet
ing of the local union was held Satur-
day afternoon and after a lengthy and
spirited session the union voted to
adopt the agreement. When this action
| was taken up the president refused to
| sign the document and Immediately
thereafter the union by a decisive vote
| declared the office of president vacant
and the vice president was selected
to fill the office.
| One of the members of the union
| who voted against the adoption of the
agreement stated today that the trou-

HARD ON MISS RElCHERT
She Is Not an EIector and Can Mo-
Hold Office of Notary Public.


Because the legislature provided in
the law that none but an electOr could
hold the office Of notary public in this
state, Governor Mead was compelled
to refuse to appoint a Walla Walla
woman to such office. She is Miss l..
M. Reichert, of Two Rivers, Wash.
The town has not yet acquired the
dignity of postoffice and gets it's mail
via Wallula She sent in the applica-
ton and fee in due form and her petit
ton for appointment mad the proper
number of Endorsements. Those who
signed her application even asserted
that she was an elector, at least that
part of the blank was not stricken.
Governor Mead decided the law was
plain and specific and none but an
elector could be named and so her
money was sent back and notice was
conveyed to her by letter of the reason
she could not be appointed.

OSCAR INTERVIEWED.
What the King Thinks of Present Crisis
 in Affairs.

Stockholm, July fixing oscar granted a private audience to the cor respondent of the Associated Press at the Royal Palace today. In lengthy conversation his majesty expressed ms views on the situation and says em- phatically he would never allow any or his sons or grandsons to accept the Nor wegian throne. In speaking of the at titude of Norway ,the King displayed deep emotion and expressed his heart felt sorrow at Norway's treatment oi him after thirty-two years of unceas- ing labor for it's happiness and pros- perity.
 His majesty said he wished to convey through the Associated Press his grati- tude for the hundreds Of expressions ol sympathy received from the United States.
 In the course of the conversation, King Oscar reiterated his official ref erence regarding his position on the consular bill passed by the Storthing and his veto of it. and said:
 When the King of Norway considers that the welfare of the country de- mands that he shall veto bill passed by the Storthing, his right to do so is internationally shown in Norway's con- stitution and he would be false to his oath if he did not exercise this right In accordance with his conscience.
 The constitution gives the storthng the power to pass measure over my veto, prescribing however, that this can only be done by the bill being passed by three consecutively elected storthings The consular bill was only passed by one storthing.
 ''As King of Norway, it was of the utmost necessity that l should always keep before my eyes the first article of the Norwegian constitution, which reads: The Kingdom of Norway is a free, independent, indivisible and in alienable country united to Sweden under one King.
 Therefore 1t was imperative before approving a bill separating the consu- lar systems of Sweden and Norway that l should consider the welfare and interests of both countries and l had q perfect right as King of Norway tc refuse my sanction.
 The refusal of the Norwegian cabi- net to countersign my veto was ineX- cusable, as the constitution preseribes that the King may decide according to his judgment, and that all his orders must be countersigned by the cabinet Thus the Norwegian constitution my own conscience and my considera- tion of the welfare of both kingdoms were the guides to my action in veto- ing the consular bill"
 This is the first Interview granted by King oscar to any correspondent. His Majesty had been advised not to talk for publication and every effort was made by his entourage to prevent ac- cess to him. The Associated Press cor respondent. however, received d com munication last evening summoning him to private audience today.
