nation Seldom Seen Here
Velocity SO Miles.

The heaviest wind and rain storm of
the year swept over Walla Walla yes
terday, jumbling up telephone and cleo
trio wires and playing havoc with
rickety fences and everything loose

change mad trouble in maintaining the

wires of the Northwestern Gas & Elec-
trio company got crossed, cutting off
the electric service on the north side
of town.
yesterdays storm was the heaviest
Of the year, Observer Newman said
this morning. The wind maintained a
velocity of from 30 to SO miles an hour
for over four hours, which is some
thing unusual. The highest velocity, SO
miles, was attained about 8 o'clock. 1t
is seldom that Walla Walla has rain
and wind storm all in one like yester-
but in only rare instances have l known
both to come together
Observer Newman reported SO of
an inch of rainfall during Saturday and
Sunday, bringing the total precipita-
ton for the month up to an even half
inch. There has been a total rainfall
since January 1 of 1.39 inches and the
deficiency up to today was 1.95 inches.

The new service will be operated in
connection with all western passenger
traffic. and the sleeper fare of 81 es-
tablished by the Burlington will be the
rate.
When the through tourist sleeper was
announced by the Burlington the other
lines operating between Chicago and
st. Paul commenced fight to eliminate
the 81 sleeper fare. AS the result of
this fight against the Burlington the
officials of that road announced that
unless the ban was removed the SER

The announcement by the Chicago,

John Lamb, n. B. kershaw end San
Loney Take Trip Into Grande
Ronde Country.

John D. Lamb, Samuel LOney and H
B. Kershaw returned to Walla Walla
this morning after spending week in
the vicinity of Anitone, in the Grand
Ronde valley, inspecting some newly
discovered coal mines that are being
opened up by the Jonn P. Vollmel
company of Lewiston.
1.-The Vollmer company has appar-
emily struck a big coal deposit in thai
section" Mr. Lamb said this morning
THE company has tunneled into the
mine, being opened up about 200 feet
and struck an immense ledge of coal
A vein 40 feet in width has already
been encountered and it may be mucr
wider than that, as the crew is still
excavating at the end of the tunnel
The coal seems to be Of excellent quail
ity and resembles the Roslyn product
"Anitone is about 80 miles from the
o. r. & n. extension of the Elglr
branch. Coal groupings can be. seer
for miles around. The Vollmer com
pany is now financing a new company
to handle the property and develop 1t.

GOVERNMENT TO COLLECT FINE
Late Senator John H. MitoheII's Scanty
Estate Will Be Assessed One
Thousand Dollars.

Out of the scanty estate of the late
Senator John H. Mitchell the United
States government will collect the sum
of $1,000. the amount Of tine fine which
formed a part Of his sentence. BY di-
rection of the solicitor Of the national
treasury, formal notice has been served
upon Colonel David M. Dunno, admins
traitor of the estate, that the money
must be paid.
Senator Mitchelrs estate has been
appraised at about $4,000, while the
claims against it aggregate $4,000. The
governments claim is by law given
preference over all other debts, save
funeral expenses and expenses of ad-
ministration. and will, therefore, be
paid in full Out of the residue OF the
estate the remaining creditors must be
satisfied, and it is estimated that they
will be fortunate is they receive rs
per cent of their claims. Several of
the creditors, when informed OF the
governments purpose to enforce pay
ment of Senator MitchelPs fine, ex-
pressed strong dissatisfaction, and an
effort may be made to contest the al
lowance of the governments claim in
the county court.

LITTLE COMMUNITY MUCH
WROUGHT UP OVER HOT
MEETING.


The dove of peace refuses to settle
over the little community at the forks
of the Walla Walla river and Rev.
Lobe's refusal to. permit the Presby-
terians the use of the Union church
for revival service last week still con-
tinues to be a subject of dissersion
that has divided the community on re-
ligiOus questions.
AS a result of the church row the
Union Sunday school has been reor-
ganized and services are now being
neld in the De Haven schoolhouse until
new edifice of worship can be erected
that will be entirely free from the
dominating power of Rev. Lobe. Those
VINO have broken away from the old or
ganization are counted the most promi-
nent residents of the Walla Walla
river district. The new Sunday school
has been organized with the following
officers Mrs. f. D. Brown. superin-
tendent; Miss Anna Walden, secretary;
Miss Dora Hayden, treasurer: Miss
Cora Demaris, organist, and Miss Mil
lie Brown, librarian.

Admits Seattle Extension.

Those connected with the Union Pa
cific now admit that the road mas prac-
tically completed arrangements to ex-
tend the O. r. & n. company's line into
Seattle. Recent purchases of tidelands
were in their interest and franchises
to enter the city will be asked for in
the near future.
. The move is said not to be re-
prisal against Hill for entering Port
land, but merely to protect Union Pa
cific territory. 1t looks like a strong
bid for the traffic of the Hill territory
and will probably nave the effect OF
inducing Hill to go after business to
and from Portland more vigorously
than hitherto contemplated.

The Calamity HowIer.

Secretary of War Taft, at dinner in
Washington, referred with a smile to
a certain pessimistic senator.
He is always awaiting the fall OF
some unforeseen evil,' said Secretary
Taft. He can never see the bright
side. He is as incorrigible pessimist
as old Elisha Howard of Zoar.
II was born in Ohio, and in my boy
hood I saw Elisha now and then. His
farm was near Zoar. 1t was a large
and prosperous farm, but Elisha
would never have admitted such a
thing. He was always grumbling and
grooming. The corners Of mis- mouth
continually hung down.
81 remember, once, there came
hammer year for the Ohio farmers. The
wheat crop had never been so fine ana
good, and prices had never oeen 50
high, EIisna's wheat surpassed all
others and it was known that he hao
marketed it skilfully. Nevertheless
when a neighbor asked him one day
how ne had made out with it, he
whined:
"eweIl. I didn't get as much Tor II
exnected. and I knew 1 wouldn't
all the time!"

lower Pend d'Orielle river, is the report
that comes from Washington. Through
his efforts a general fund in the hands
of the secretary of war was used for
the purpose of improving the upper
Pend dOrielle river and now the de-
mand for the improvement of the lower
portion of the river has become very
great. Senator Ankeny hopes to be
able to provide funds either by a spec
ial bill Or through a general appropria-
ton with which to make these i'm
provements.
During the past three weeks Senator
Ankeny's time has been almost COM
pletely occupied in attending hearings
which has entire charge Of all meas
ures relating to the Panama canal.
Secretary of War Taft, Engineer
Stephens, Chairman Shonts, both of the
Isthmian canal committee, and many
other prominent persons have been be-
fore the committee giving testimony
with reference to existing conditions.
Senator Ankeny has taken a special
interest IN this question, as he believes
the early construction of the canal is
of great importance to the people of
