REAL TOUCH OF WINTER.
WERE IN DEMAND IN WALLA
WALLA TODAY.
Weather Office Predicts Cold Wave
and Zero Weather for Tonight
Chilly North Wind.

Two and one-half inches of snow, a
temperature of Is degrees and bus
terry wind straight from the north
gave Walla Walla its first real touch
of winter to-day Visions Of an early
spring, flowers and the usual accom-
paniments were quickly dissipated
when Walla Wallans stuck their noses
out Of doors this morning.
The air was full of frosty particles
and a heavy coating of snow covered
the ground. To add to the discomfort
a chill north wind blowing at the rate
of IS miles an hour made living out
of doors a very disagreeable PROPOSE
ton.
At the weather bureau office the
snow was reported two and one half
inches deep with the probabilities of
more following. The temperature at
o'clock this morning registered 90
degrees but the average citizen would
have swore that it was nearer zero.
Observer Newman states that a north
wind following a snow storm is some
thing unusual for Walla Walla. A
cold wave is predicted and zero wealth
err may be looked for tonight and to-
morrow.

stirred up a hornets nest in the
prosecuting attorneys office at Seat

that young Church was allowed his
liberty he Immediately swore out a
warrant for his arrest and ordered
him to Walla Walla to serve out his
sentence imposed. Church is ex-
pected to arrive at the prison with
the next batch of prisoners from King
county. Church was convicted of way
laying young man and after beating
his over the. head with a slung shot
robbed him of a considerable sum of
money. Church confessed to highway
robbery and was given a three year

NOTABLE INCREASE IN ATTEND.
ANcE At THE WASHINGTON
STATE COLLEGE.
Many Plans Maturing for Extensive
improvements Next School Term
at Pullman.

PULLMAN, June 8.-The year near
ly completed has been the most pros
porous in the history of the state col
lege. There has been a notable in
crease in the student body especially in
the collegiate classes, and the work of
various departments has been so
broadened that there is a consequent
congestion for want of sufficient room,
and a pressure upon the faculty which
must be relieved.
Many plans are now maturing not
only to- relieve the present crowded.
conditions somewhat but also to
broaden still further the work of the
college. The department of agricul-
ture has been reorganized and new
courses added, enabling students to
specialize in different branches of ag-
riculture. The courses in domestic
economy are being enlarged and in
creased, so that next year domestic
science will be advanced to the dignity
of full department, offering four
years work. A department of educa-
ton will also be added, and Professor
Samson made it's mead. Hitherto only
two years work in pharmacy has been
offered, but commencing with next year
a four years course, leading to a de-
gree of B. S. will be given. This will
be especially in line for the study of
medicine.
With this great broadening in the
scope of the institution will come a
corresponding increase in the facilities
for meeting all requirements made
upon it. The faculty will be largely in
creased, particularly in the depart
ments of domestic science, agriculture,
economics and English and additions
will also be made to the equipment of
various departments. Most important
of these will be the additions to the
mechanical building. A complete new
story will be added covering entirely
the original walls. The space thus
gained will be devoted to shops and
laboratories.

BUYING A WATCH.

fl1led Cases, Plated Cases and Coed
and Had M0vements.
mot many men know how to buy q
watch" said jeweler, land to large
extent they have to rely on the honesty
Of the dealer. So complicated is the
business that even we go to the fac
tories ourselves and arrange for spe-
cial work in order to get the proper ar
ticle. for, Of course, we could not as
say every case we receive.
Nov, how many people know the
difference between a filled case and one
that Is plated? A filed case, you see,
Is composition that resembles steel,
with plate Of gold on each side, that
on the outer being thicker than the in
side. Such cases are guaranteed not
to wear through within FIVE, ten, if
teen or up to twenty-five years, the
limit of the guarantee made by the
reputable houses. If q man offers you
case warranted for thirty or forty
years you are going to be bunkoed II
you buy it. When you see watches Of
fered for sale as gold filed for So or
81 depend upon 1t they are plated, and
mighty thinly too.
"In the matter of watch movements"
he continued, 1.-THE buyer is really at
the mercy of the dealer. In one big
factory about 5000 movements are
made every day. There Is certain to
be haste in that sort Of output, and the
name on the dial does not make up for
imperfections. To avoid these a first
class jeweler arranges for several hun
dred movements to be delivered year
hence.
"a strictly first class movement re-
quires six months exactly in its pas
sage through the factory from the be-
ginning to the finished product ready
to offer for sale. Such goods ar. then
stamped with the name of the firm for
which they are made and that firm has
to stand sponsor for them. The Swiss
watch, in it's higher class, is the best
movement in the world today. OF
course there are cheap Swiss move
ments that you can buy for So or 81,
but they keep good time."-Kansas City
Star.

Peculiar OCCUPATIONS.

The trade Of toothstainer, followed
IN eastern Asia, is as odd a calling as
any. The natives prefer black teeth
to the whittier kind, and the toothstain-
er, with little box Of brushes and
coloring matter, calls on his customers
and stains their teeth. The process is
not unlike that of backing a boot, for
fine polish is given to the teeth. The
pigment used Is quite harmless. In
Arabia the trade Of "gossiper" has
many followers. The "gossiper" col
lects all the news, tittle-tattle, jokes
and stories he can get hold of and
then goes from house to house retail
ing them. II he has a good manner
and can adapt his recitals to his audi
ences he makes a very fair income.
