Recently the practice of holding en-

spread, In many instances operate
performances have been given in

1t is said that owners of theaters
and halls have objected to the exemp-
tion of churches. They do not think
it fair to them, as they have to pay
taxes and maintain their buildings, to
permit church organizations, which
pay no taxes, to rob them OF their bus
mess.
Assessor Sigler has determined to
place the mall on the same footing. If
the churches open their doors for such
entertainments, taxes will be eXacted.
If such practices are not allowed in
the churches, no assessment on the
property wtll be made. He has no

The gem was found in the Premier
mine, near Pretoria. by a Mr.. Wells.
the surface manager. The stone was
imbedded in the yellow ground about
10 feet from the surface and was dis
covered on January %. 1905. Its ex-
net weight is 3O2iR karats, or one
and seven-ninths pounds troy. The
dimensions are about 4x4kx1A
inches.
The gem is said to be only a por-
ton Of much larger stone the orig
inal size of which is matter of con-
lecture. Four pieces of the original
have been broken off along cleavage
planes, which are known to have the
position of octahedral planes. Each
of these fragments were undoubtedly
of considerable size.
The stone, according to the descrip-
tion given by experts, is quite color
less. its perfect transparence being
| best compared to that of pure ice
of the variety known as hyalite. There
are a few grains and flaws or cleav-
age planes. but their position is said
to be such as not to detract from the
value Of the stone as a gem
1t is the purest of all the big dia-
monds and has an appraised value of

When Mr.. Wider was in England n
few months ago, he was attracted by
the pureness Of the gem and as a
result succeeded in organizing syn
dicate which bid for an option at the
agreed price of s2.000.O00. The option
| does not expire for several months as
yet, and 1t would be no surprise to
learn any day that the final transfer
had been made and the stone trans

WALLA WAI,LA DOOMED.
General Funston Says No Brigade Post
for Garden City.

General Funston while stopping at
a reporter for the Bulletin regarding
the possibility of the establishment of
a brigade post in Walla WalIa
impossible" exclaimed the gener-
al. 81 recommended the abandonment
of Fort Walla Walla two years ago,
but owing to local pressure on the
government the post was retained.
Since new barracks have been built
I do not think it likely that the gov
ernment will dispose of its present
quarters at Walla Walla, but when
you speak of brigade post l can
positively state that such a thing is
altogether out of the question"
Where is 1t likely to be establish
ed?" the general was asked.
"At American Lake. There we
have 10000 acres for target practice,
unlimited display and maneuver
grounds that cannot be SUPPRESSED.
An acre of that land could be bought
at the low figure Of $40 per acre and
the government could make no better
investment. Walla Walla has no
grounds, the roads are SO muddy in
winter that Colonel Godfrey told me
he was unable to exercise his troops
during three months. Then again in
summer It is too hot and altogether
the idea is preposterous. But 1t does
not follow that the present post will
be abandoned"
General Greedy, also stopping at the
Portland, fully agreed with these
views and deplored political interfer-
ence in the military management OF
this country.

The Secretary says: The facts pre-
