"The major dressing for dinner
that night, said again:
81 suppose, James, that you did
as told you about those boots?'
James laid 35 cents on the bureau.
ayes, SIR said he, and this is all
I could get for them; though the cor
poral who bought 'em said he'd have
given half a dollar If pay day hadn't
been so far off,"

THEcASE OF Mr.. EARLY


The council has made thorough investigation
Of the by drant deal All who know anything about il
have testified under oath. Not Of them gave any
testimony that incriminated Mr.. Early.
The EXPRESS insisted upon such investigation,
the people wanted it, Mr. Early wanted il and we
have had it. In the light Of the facts brought out it is
time for the tongues that have been industriously
wagging to stop There IS evidence that shows that
Mr.. Early or any other connected with the city ad-
ministraton did any wrong or intended todo wrong.
The Mayor and council may have acted hastily or in
discreety in adopting the hydrant at the time they
did, but they undoubtedly were acting within their
rights and no improper motive can be attributed to
them.
There is no man who cannot be injured by a
sIanderous tongue Misunderstanding sometimes give
rise to evil repor.s careless talk and sanderous ton

the Just man who wants to be fair with his fellow

an outrage for man Of this kind TO be subjected to
such criticism If there any grounds for it. the
EXPRESS would not hesitate moment to condemn

Work on the gas plant of the North
western Gas & Electric company is
now in progress, force of about 10
men being employed in riveting the
bottom of the gas tank, which will be
erected near the old electric light
plant on Thompson street.
The concrete foundation for the
tank was built during the summer,
and the tank will now be completed
as quickly as possible.
The monster tank for the gas plant
will be As feet in diameter, is feet in
height, made of sheet steel riveted,
and will hold 10000 cubic feet Of gas.
1t is the intention of the company
to complete the plant as soon as pos
sible, and force of men WILL be kept
constantly at work during the winter.
The building formerly occupied by
the electric light plant has been en-
larged and repaired and will be used
as the manufacturing department of
the gas plant. The tank is situated
about 20 feet west of the building and
will be about one-half below the sur
face of the ground, an excavation
having been made for the concre te
base.

REOPEN TENINO COLLIERY.
Entire Output Will Go to Seattle and
Portland.

To meet the big coal shortage in
Pacific coast cities, the Pacific coast
company has arranged with the re-
ceiver of the Tenino coal mine to re-
open that colliery November Is, says
the Walla Walla Bulletin. The Pa
cific company will take the entire
output amounting to 200 tons a day,
sending 1t to Portland and Seattle.
n. Poston, in charge of the COM
pany's coal agencies in California,
has secured a promise from the COM
pany that the supply of coal sent to
California would be Immediately in
creased. To do so, the Pacific Coast
company must find a new source OF
supply for the demand for fuel in the
northwest is all that can be handled
from the mines now operated by that
corporation.
The Pacific Coast company mined
$4,000 tons of coal last month, or
more by $4,000 than during any pre-
ceding month. At the same time
Seattle alone consumed 10000 tons
and the surplus had to be divided be-
tween the steaming trade and all
coast cities. The output from the
company's mines will be increased
again in November and with the 81
900 tons from Tenino, will just about
supply the deficiency now existing in
the coast coal supply.

Franklin County Booming.

J. L. Baldwin returned yesterday
from Connell, where he had been on
a brief business visit. Mr.. Baldwin
reports that the outlook for a bumper
crop in Franklin county next year is
excellent, farmers generally being
elated over the heavy rains which
have visited that section during the
past week says the Walla Walla
Union. Business conditions, Mr..
Baldwin says, are booming, the ac-
tivity in all lines being very notice
able to an outsider. Kahlotus and
Connell are growing rapidly, both in
residences and in a business way, and
Mr.. Baldwin states that it is only a
matter of time until both of these
towns will be among the leading cities
Of southeastern Washington.

That a number of Pendleton sa-
looms which carry on a large liquor
trade with the Cottonwood district
may be forced to pay heavily in fines
and penalties to the federal govern
ment is now quite probable.
In Walla Walla two saloons carry
ing on a similar trade between their
regular places of business and the
tenderloin district have been forced
to pay over $1,000 in fines for the
practice.
The federal liquor license names
but one place where liquor may be
sold under each license, and the fed
eral officials hold that all liquor sold
under this license must be sold in the
place designated. Where regular de-
livery is made to the resorts on out
side streets a separate place of busi-
ness is set up and maintained and a
special license is necessary.
The following from the Walla Walla
Union gives the status of the Walla
cases which are identical with several
in this city:
A surprise was sprung on some of
the local saloon men Wednesday when
]. NJ. Douglas, deputy internal reve-
nue. collector for division No. g.,
called upon them to pay about $1,000
in licenses and penalties for selling
LIQUOR to parties in the cribs in the
Rose alley district. George Mottet
suffered the most as his donation to
his Uncle Samuel amounted to some
thing like $3.50, while John Kremer
contributed $500.
As it is quite necessary for the in
habitants of the redlight district to
be supplied with stimulants, and as
considerable of their revenue is de-
rived from the sale of liquor to their
visitors, a system of electric bells has
been established, connecting with
some of the saloons so that drinks
can be rung for at any time. The Idle
Hour has about 25 Of these combina-
tions and Kramer about 10.
According to the ruling of the rev.
enue officials, where a retail liquor
dealer instead of shipping by COM
mon carriers the orders received from
his customers, takes the packages OF
liquor himself to the customer but
refuses to make delivery without i'm
mediate payment therefor, and deliv-
ers the liquor upon receiving the
Imonev from the customer, he there.
/ by establishes a place of business at
the place of delivery and involves
himself in a special tax liability at the
place where he makes such delivery.
Under this construction of the rev.
enue law it was held that the above
named saloon men had sold liquor a,
number Of different places without
| first having procured the stamp re-
quired by the government, for which
| S25 IS charged. and the selling of thi.
| liquor bv these men made them not
only liable for the fee for stamp
for each separate place of delivery
| but also subjected them to a penalty
of so per cent, which fee and pen.
atty was charged and collected in eact
| instance by the government official.

WORK OF THE WINDS.
Transportation of Sand on the Shore
of Lake Ontario,

Reference was made in these COL
umns a few weeks ago to the shifting
of the sand on the coast of North Car
olina, as observed by a writer for the
National Geographic Magazine C. j.
Shrimpton, a Canadian, who saw
that story, tells another one which
seems to him to be even more re-
markable. The scene of action is the
shore of Prince Edward county, On
tario, which is on the north side of
Lake ontario.
According to our correspondent,
there is a region in which the sand is
driven by the winds from the lake
shore and in the course of time has
covered a considerable tract OF coun-
try. 1t Is impossible to tell exactly
where the sand comes from or how
long the process has been going on.
At the present time it is said to be en-
croaching on the original surface at
the rate of 30 feet a year.
The sand has been blown into a
series of long hills, rising to a height
of Is feet or more. These hills are at
right angles to the line of the shore,
and in their advance they cover every
thing before them. Farms, woods
and houses by degrees are lost to
sight. At the outer slope of a hill by
the side of which Mr. Shrimpton drove
for a mile or more the trees stood in
the sand and out of the sand, the up
per reaches showing a little of the
top branches, while close to the road
the engulfing process was beginning
upon the main stems.
Between the two visits which Mr..
Shrimpton made the road had been
moved several yards in order to avoid
the ever advancing ghostly tide. 1t
is hardly possible to conceive of a
more desolate view than that which
Is presented to the eye of an observer
standing on the shore and looking in
land. v.
When Mr.. Shrimpton first visited
the Wellington banks, as they are
called, the wind rose during his stay,
so that he had n good opportunity of
witnessing the work of invasion. over
all the surfaces of the hills the sand
was lifted in a cloud several feet into
the air and borne onward to be de-
posted further and further inland in
its dire work of obliteration. The ac-
curhulation of sand is so vast that II
must have been going on for ages, and
in this respect differs materially from
the instance at Cape Hatteras.
