snend Much for Show.

In Paris as In London it may be said
that the upper middle classes spend one
third of their revenue for show. Their
day at home, their carriage, the extra
help, consume large part of an in
come that might better be spent on light,
food and heat Two families often own
a coupe together with the understand
ing that each is to have 1t at certain
hours of the day.
Whatever else they may wear the
gowns and gloves of these people must
at least indicate ease and luxury. The
very difference in their outer and their
under raiment illustrates the difference
between their vie intime and that of the
outside world. On their day at home
a fire is laid in the tiny, doll-house-like
crate of the salon in cold weather, to be
lighted only when the first ring comes
az the door, and not then II the cisitor en-
tiers and protests against the extrava-
gance.

IEYPATRIATE HAS
HEAVY EXPENSES
Costs More to Live Abroad Now
Than Formerly
IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE
Comparison of Prices Prevailing In
Two countries-Americans Who
Want to Reduce Expenses
May Return Home.
IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE

Paris.-A quarter of a century or SO ago
the American who declared that he could
live as well in either London or Paris
as in New York on half the income re-
CURED in the American city exaggerated
scarcely at all. In those days labor was
cheap, house rent was not excessive. and
food was not dear in European capitals.
The wheel of time has revolved, bring
ing great changes in European centers;
and If prices continue to increase, Ameri-
cans who have become expatriates from
motive of economy will have to bundle
up their household goods and hasten
back to the land of their BIRTH
Wages are higher in England than in
France, and yet articles of food in the
latter country are higher than in Eng
land. The Briton may not be as careful
| workman as the Frenehman, but he
gets through in half the time. The French
workman is rewarded poorly for his SER
vices, but. being slower than the Briton,
in the end he gains as much relatively
for the same job, so things are about
equalized.
When the salary of municipal post is
fair, France believes not in hiring one
man, but in a division of the salary, the
idea being that if the salary is split
two may enjoy the benefit better than
one. While there may be much squander-
ing of money in the rich and the lower
classes the bourgeois is serious and
sensible citizen.
With these people family of four or
five can live very comfortably ON $1,000
a year. To be sure, meat and vegetables
are high, but the economical housewife
buys only just enough to suffice her fam
lily for the meal or day, and little Is
thrown away. From few meat and
bone scraps. and with the addition of po-
tatoes, crusts and little sauce and sea-
soning, madame will turn out a ragout
that will be at once satisfying and cheer
ing TO the inner man.
Vegetables are so dear in France that
all kinds of combinations and hashes of
odds and ends are devised, but they are
so palatable that no one ever thinks of
refusing them or questioning their in
gradients. The Latin appetite is a small
one and delights in tasting daintily of a
few chosen dishes, much preferring quail
ity to quantity.

EUREKA FLAT FARMERS REsEED|MG
John Hoffman Is Using 80 Drills and
120 Head of Horses in the
Work.

Farmers on Eureka Flat are busy
reseeding their land on which the fall
sown grain was frozen out by the re-
cent cold snap. Last week GrOte
Brothers finished reseeding 10 acres
on their farm and have about twice
that much more to put in.
John Hoffman began this morning
reseeding 5000 acres on the fiat He
has employed a large number of farm
hands to do the work. He will use 80
drills and 12O head of horses to put in
the seed.
Mrs. Charles Bowman, who is farm
ing considerable land near Whitman
station, states that she put in 1000
acres to wheat last fall and the grain
is doing fine. None of it was frozen
out and she expects a large yield.
w. J. Scott returned this morning
from his farm on the Touchet. He
says that after making careful in
vestigation Of his grain fields he is
absolutely certain that none of his
wheat was frozen out The blades of
the grain were nipped by the frost. but
the roots are healthy and growing
nicely.

MANY REACHING FOR THE PLUM
Great Activity Among Members Of the
Naval Pay Corpse for the
GeneraIship:

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 90
There are signs of activity among the
members of the naval pay corps who
possess sufficient rank to entitle them
to regard themselves as candidates for
the place of paymaster general. The
present incumbent, Rear Admiral H. T.
r Harris, is on the retired list, and
may ask to be detached from this ac-
tive duty at any time. 1t is probably
in anticipation of some such action on
hsi part that other officers of his corps
are now found filing their. applications
for the place and having their friends
see the secretary of the navy in their
behalf. With all the evidence Of this
campaigning, there is nothing to indi-
cate who will get the office when it
is vacated. There will probably be a
hot fight, as there was a year or more
ago, when Rear Admiral Harris retir-
ed, and when the candidates were so
numerous and active that the president
asked Rear Admiral Harris to remain
over until he could get around to the
selection of his successor. 1t is likely
that there will be no appointment
to the place until autumn, in any event.
and it is possible that Rear Admiral
Harris will complete his fOur-year
term. which does not expire until late
in 1907.

Opinion Given Board Of Control

TRANSPORTATION AND MAIN.
TENANCE OF MEN.

]. A. Falknor, assistant attorney
general has given an opinion to the
state board of control that the board
has right to work convicts in stripes
in crushing and preparing rocks for
roads and streets The opinion is as
follows:
Yours of March %, 1906, received.
Your communication reads as follows:
"a proposition is being made to this
board to work convicts under chapter
1876, page 264, session laws of Wash
ington, 1903. We desire an opinion
from you with reference to our author
ity to work such convicts in their
prison garb of stripes while they are
under this statute.
"'Also we desire your opinion

material where there is unusual haZ-
ard to life or limb
"There is no provision in the statute
referred to to preclude you from work.
ing your cOnvicts in their prison garb
if stripes when they are engaged I'M
der said act of 1903 in crushing, pre-
pairing or handling rocks or other ma
terial for roads and streets, and it
would seem also that they should do
such work in their ordinary prison
garb. The legislature has full power
over convict labor, and unquestionably
may provide for the employment of
the convicts in the character Of labor
provided in such act Common human
ity, however, would suggest that in
doing such labor all reasonable pre-
caution should be taken to avoid in
jury to life or limb. Convicts may be
employed at this character of work,
though it is of a hazardous character,
the state using all reasonable precau-
ton to prevent injury to life or limb"
The board Of control is willing to let
counties work cOnvicts on breaking
rocks or preparing material for public
roads, the county to pay all expense
OF guards and maintenance of the con-
victs.

DEANE CLEARED OF UGLY CHARGES
Principal of Dixie School Comes Out
of Investigation in Flying
Colors.

After sensational investigation,
lasting from 1 until o'clock Saturday
afternoon, Principal Charles Deane of
the Dixie schools was cleared of the
charges of immoral conduct preferred
by Directors Grinstead and Sanders.
The hearing was held before County
School Superintendent Bond in the
Dixie school and the school room was
crowded to suffocation by Dixie people,
who in the main took little stock In
the charges and expressed their SYM
pathy for the principal by loudly
cheering when Superintendent Bond
announced that the charges had not
been sustained at the close of the in
vestigation.
Grinstead Prosecutor.
Director Grinstead acted as chief
prosecutor and examined some eight or
ten pupils on the charges that the
teacher had forced them to perform
them pictures of men and women In
abbreviated costume appearing in
physical culture magazine. The girls
refused to illustrate the exercises the
principal is alleged to have forced
them to go through and the boy stu
dents were called on to show where
the alleged immoral part of them came
in for the edification Of Superintend-
ent Bond. The exercises were shown
to have been part of a system OF
Swedish drills and not in the least
immoral The charges that the prin-
cipal had shown the students pictures
of a suggestive character proved to DC
as trivial as the other charges, and al
the close of the investigation Super1n-
tendent Bond dismissed the case
Principal Deane resumed charge OF the
school today and will continue a.

Proposition for Team in Northwest
League Being Discussed
Pres. LUCAS COMES TO WAllA WAlIA
MEETING OF BASEBALL EN-.
THUSIASTS AND LEAGUE
MAGNATE HELD.

Whether or not Walla Walla will be
represented in the Northwest league
by good baseball team is a question
that is being debated this afternoon at
meeting being held at the Hotel
Dacres.
w. H. Lucas. president of the league,
enthusiasts, came to Walla Walla
from Spokane Sunday afternoon to
take up the question of taking Walla
Walla into the league. Shortly after
his arrival several gentlemen who are
taking an interest in baseball met the
president, and after discussing the
subject in an informal manner ar
ranged for a conference this afternoon
with several prominent business men.
They met at o'clock this afternoon
and were still in session when The
Evening Statesman went to press.
Good for the City.
"By all means Walla Walla should
be represented in the league" said
President Lucas this morning. "The
plan proposed is to have Walla Walla
and Pendleton join in a stock company
cities The games could be so di-
vided that both places would have an
equal number of games, and l can see
no reason why the proposition could
not be made to pay. We are to have
six-club league this season. We
have now decided upon Helena, Butte,
Spokane, Tacoma and Aberdeen as
five of the cities to be represented and
the choice of the sixth place lies be-
tween Walla Walla and Pendleton and
Vancouver B. c. The British Column
bia city is anxious to come In, but a
majority of the officers Of the associa-
ton prefer to take in Walla Walla
Nothing advertises a town better than
a good ball team and if Walla Walla
has a team in the league 1t will be the
means of attracting much attention to
this growing and prosperous city.
Those whom I have talked with so far
seem to be enthusiastic over the pro-
position and 1 hope at the meeting this
afternoon the deal can be made"
First Practice Yesterday.
Manager Tempany, of the Walla
Walla baseball team, had about IL
men on the field yesterday limbering
up and getting ready for the opening
of the amateur season next Sunday,
when the soldiers will meet the locals.
The men showed up well in prelimin-
airy work and gave evidence that the
city is to have good team. A large
bunch of fans were out and witnessed
the work
