ECLIPSE 0CCURES AS SCHEDULED

Scores of Walla Walla people
tumbled out of bed around o'clock
this morning and securing points of
vantage watched for an hour, the
eclipse of the moon. Observer New
man viewed the phenomenon from the
top of the new Ransom building.
"Stratas Of slate colored clouds hid
the moon at times but on the whole
the view of the phenomenon was
excellent" Observer Newman said
this morning 1.-The moon entered the
shadow at Bill from the east. The
light clouds somewhat interfered at
the beginning of the eclipse but they
soon passed away and left a fairly
good unobstructed view of the moon
until it was in total eclipse.
1.-The eclipse was so we'll advertised
that many people were out when
came down town, waiting to catch a
glimpse of the eclipse"

LOCK FOR BIG EXPORT BUSINESS
Seattle Exporters Say There is Every
Indication Of Big Demand for
Washington Wheat.

Shipping men are looking forward
to big wheat trade with foreign
ports this fall, says yesterdays Seattle
Times. Last season more than sixty
ships sailed from Puget Sound ports,
carrying cargoes to the Old World,
and it is estimated that in the neigh
borhood of 100000 tons were moved.
The wheat crop in California is about
a month earlier than in Washington
and Eastern Oregon, and already yes
sells are being secured to load at San
Francisco.
crop in the state this year, and there
will no doubt be fully as much wheat
exported this season as last, if not
more. While no wheat charters for
Puget Sound have as yet been report
ed it is expected the market will be
brisk in a very few weeks, when ship
ments from Eastern Oregon and
Washington will go from Seattle and
Tacoma and it will make business
good for the companies owning the
sailing ships.
The only charter announced today
is that of the Northwestern Steamship
Company's ship America, to the Bell
ingham Bay Improvement company.
The vessel will proceed from Port
Townsend to Bellingham and there
load 1900, 900 feet of lumber for San
Francisco.

his clear and forceful talk fine impress
Bion on his audience.
A delegation from Chester. headed by
Rev. G. n. Friend, came loaded with In
ducements for the location at Chester Of

scriptlons amounting really to the cree
tion and equipment OF an extra room to
