immediate command of the movement, and
direct them TO withdraw their men. He saw
these officers standing on the parapet of field
work, about six or eight hundred yards to the
left. To reach them by passing inside of our
rifie-Pits would be slow process, as the place
was crowded with troops; so he decided to
keep IN front of the line of earthwOrks and take
the chances. The shots were flying thick and
fast, and what with the fire of the enemy and
the heat of a July sun, there was warmth
about the undertaking that ought to have
satisfied the cravings of the most advanced
cremationist. The very recollection of it,
more than forty years after, starts the perspira-
ton. Scarcely word was spoken in crossing
this distance. Sometimes the gait was a fast
walk, sometimes a dOg-trot. The officers
were not a little astonished to see the General
in-Chief approaching on foot from this di-
rectiOn, and no time was now lost in sending
orders for the withdrawal of the troops.
The unbounded generosity at all times dis
played by General Grant toward friends and
foes will be remembered as long as the world
continues to honor manly qualities. His un-
selhshness in relation to his subOrdinates was
one of the chief secrets of their attachment
to him, and the immediate and unstinted
praise he gave them for their work was one of
the great incentives which aroused them to the
efforts they put forth.

The Generals MOdesty

WTHEN General Joe JOhnston's army sur
w rendered to Sherman and was given terms
which the Government recalled, Stanton
denounced Sherman's conduct unsParIngly.
and Grant was ordered by the President to
go at once to Sherman'S headquarters and
conduct further operations there in person
The General went to Raleigh, and remained
there in the background instead of going out
to the front, so as not to appear to share the
credit of receiving JOhnstOns final surrender.
He left that honor solely to Sherman, and stood
manfully by him when his motives were ques-
toned and his patriotism unjustly assailed.
At APpOmattOX, Grant treated Lee with
every possible respect. His sword was not
demanded, the firing of salutes and other
demonstrations of rejoicing were suppressed,
and the vanquished were paroled and allowed
to take their horses with them to their homes.
The COnqueror never for a moment forgot
that the conquered were his own cOuntrymen
Two months after the close of the war, when
Lee applied by letter for the privileges ex-
tended to those included in the Presidents
amnesty proclamation, General Grant put an
Endorsement on the communication, which
began follows.
Respectfully forwarded through the Sec
retary of War TO the President, with the
earnest recommendation that the application
of General Robert Z. Lee for amnesty and
pardon may be granted him
But, instead OF Pardoning rebels, Andrew
Johnson was engaged in his bOaSted work of
making treason Odious, and he was deter
mined to have Lee and Others indicted and
punished for the crime of high treason. Cen
eral Lee appealed by letter TO General Grant
for protection, and he knew he would not ap-
peal in vain General Grant put a long and
emphatic Endorsement upon this letter OF ap-
peal in which the following language occurs
. In my opinion the officers and men paroled
at AppomattoX Court House and since, upon
the same terms given to Lee cannot be tried
for treason so long as they observe the terms
of their parole. The action of Judge
Underwood in Norfolk has already had an
injurious effect, and | would ask that he be
ordered to quash all indictments found against
paroled prisoners of war, and to desist from
further prosecution of them

Benefit Game Next Thursday.

The MANAGEMENT of the Walla Walla
baseball association are banking on an
immense crowd at the benefit game to
he played next Thursday afternoon
when the team from the Washington
state College will cross bats with the
Boosters. On the attendance at this
game will depend the future of base
ball in Walla Walla this season. So
far the association has run behind in
the matter of finances in order to give
the Walla Walla people good ball. The
gate receipts so far have not been suf-
ficient to pay the running expenses of
the team and unless the fans of Walla
Walla come to the front and assist by
purchasing tickets for the game. the
mark will be closed and the team dis
banded.
No doubt a subscription list could
be circulated among the business men
and quite a sum secured, but the man
ayers Of the association Will not take
that method of soliciting assistance.
They feel that the merchants are called
on too much for contributions and in
order that the expense of keeping up
the team can be shared in by all the
people it was decided to give bene-
fit game and sell tickets about the
streets. Quite a number have already
been sold and it is generally, believed
that the number will be greatly in
creased before Thursday.

Excellent Exhibition Of The National
Game Yesterday.
THE BOOSTERS DID HEAvY STICK WORK
LA GRANDE COMES TO WALLA
WALLA FOR TWO GAMES
THIS WEEK.

In the best game of ball that has
been played this season at the city
park the Boosters won from the Blair
Business college by score of to 4.
Both teams were in the game from the
start to the finish and the article of
ball put up was of the snappiest and
fastest order. Blair's students went
into the game with the determination
to show the Walla Walla fans that
the exhibition given the day before
with Whitman was not a sample of
what they could do. AS result they
played the game like professionals.
Hummell, the heady pitcher for Walla
Walla was too much for them how
ever, and they could not do much with
his curves and benders. Rummell had
his arm with him and he had steam all
the time, Notwithstanding that he was
almost knocked out at the start of
the game by being hit in the head by
d Udll lllIOWU OteI Tic 1cIlCc IIOIil Tic
outside. Jensen, who was in the box
for the visitors, was also there with
all kinds of drops and shoots, but the
Walla Walla bunch was there with the
willow. They met the ball in good
shape and raped out Is hits, getting
in the number one three sacker and
three two baggers. Manager Tempany,
who has not been doing very much
with the stick this season, redeemed
himself yesterday and got couple of
hits that netted him two bases each
time.
1t was discouraging to the manage
ment of the Walla Walla association
that there was such a small crowd at
the game. The team representing
Walla Walla on the diamond this sea-
son and is, without doubt, the best
bunch of amateurs that have played
the game in this city and they are de-
serving of much better patronage.

PERAPETET|C BUGGY PEDDLARs BUSY
Trying to Do Their Worst Before Next
Meeting Of the Legislature
of This State.

Perapetetic buggy peddlers are busy
again in Walla Walla and surrounding
counties trying to get in their work
before the next meeting of the legisla-
ture, when those on the inside say that
a law will be passed to cinch the ped
dlers for keeps and stop their opera
tons, which are manifestly unfair to
legitimate vehicle dealers who do
business in one place and pay local
taxes
The peddlers at present are operat-
ing at the following points: From
Wallula they are trying to cover Wal
la Walla and Columbia counties; from
Kennewick, Yakima, Benton and
Klickatat counties; Whitman county
into the Palouse country
Farmers should look out for these
peddlers for the latter are out to
overreach everyone they can. A local
concern that some weeks ago made it
it's business to follow the tactics
pursued by the peddlers reports that
the latter sold one farmer buggy for
$4,000; another farmer the identical
kind of a buggy for $6500 At one
place their price for a covered hack
was $165.00. Failing to make a sale
they offered the same vehicle at the
next place they called for $500.
The vehicles the peddlers sell are of

THEY WANT BETTER MILEAGE BOOKS
Commercial Travellers of State Will
Ask Railroads for Better System
for Transportation.

At the recent meeting of the United
Commercial Travellers of Washington,
Oregon and British Columbia in Seat
tie a committee was appointed to urge
the railroads of the northwest to issue
to commercial travellers interchange
able mileage books. The plan is to
have one book of tickets, good on any
road in the northwest. 1t was point
ed out that at the present time II a
commercial house wished to send a
man through the northwest, mileage
book had to be purchased for each Of
five roads, causing an initial outlay
of 1925.
The members were urged to write
TO the congress smen and senators from
their state urging the passage OF. a
bankruptcy law making commercial
travellers preferred creditors. The
Washington delegation sent commune
cations saying they would work for the
passage of the bill.

Excellent Indications Are Found in
and Around Wd|a Wa||a.
CARPENTER COX MAKES 4 STRIKE
DIXIE FARMERS WILL MEET NEXT
SATURDAY AND ORGANIZE
A STOCK COMPANY.

The glowing report made by Prof.
Samuel Aughey that gas and Oil ex-
lists in the Dixie country has had the
effect of causing a number of Walla
Walla people, who are not averse to
becoming a second John Rockefeller,
to do a little prospecting on their own
account. Yesterday representatives
of the Natural Oil & Development
country spent several hours prospect
ing for gas along streams east of the
city with the result that in a number
of places they found traces of carbur-
cited hydrogen, similar to what Prof
Aughey found in the Dixie basin.
Cox Makes Strike.
c. H. Cox, the well-known carpen-
ter yesterday evening tried several ex-
periments on his place in Green's Park
addition by driving an iron rod deep in
marshy ground back of his house.
When the rod was withdrawn and a
lighted match touched to the opening,
escaping gas Immediately ignited and
burned for several minutes. The flame
had reddish tinge which Prof Augh-
ey, in his report says, stamps it as
carburetted hydrogen.
Meeting at Dixie Yesterday.
A number of farmers interested in
the oil and gas discoveries in that
section are arranging to hold a meet
ing Saturday at which time ways and
means will be discussed for organic
ing a company to sink a we'll at point
on the Lamb place that ives selected by
Prof. Aughey. 1t is estimated that to
sink a well a depth of 100 feet will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.
The proposition of organizing a stock
company among farmers on whose
lands indications of both oil and gas
have been found is being seriously con-
sidered. Several of those interested in
the project favor bringing an expert
enced gas and oil man from the east
to Walla Walla to sink the wells in
stead of employing well drilling out
fits Owing to the hard cap of basalt
rock that Prof. Aughey says covers the
oil fields. the best diamond drills will
have to be used in piercing the rock.
