he had something to do once in a
while"
The board was advised by the cOun-
ty attorney that the proper proceed
ing would be to make an order direct
ing the sheriff to move the prisoners
into the new Jail.
The following order was made and
copy of it served on Sheriff Painter:
1T appearing that the new county
Jail is ready for occupancy, it is Or
dered that all prisoners be transferred
thereto and that the old Jail be va
Gated"
The Scrap is On.
The sheriff was Informed of the or
der by a reporter for The Statesman
and was asked when the prisoners
would be moved. He would only say:
whenever the new Jail is ready for
occupancy we will move in"
He would not say anything further,
but it is assumed the word ready"
as he uses it, includes the heating of
the building.
Just what the outcome of the affair
will be is not known. Both sides are
determined to have their way and
there is not much love lost between
them.
The commissioners insist Berry
should run the furnace, as he will
live in the new Jail, and il would be
handler for him than anyone else. The
regular janitor is already loaded down
with work.
WAGES Too Low.
Berry feels the wages he is now re-
ceiving are small enough and that to
cut MIN down to $50 a month be-
cause he will not undertake additional
duties is an injustice.
The affair has caused quite SEN
sation in court house circles and all
the morning groups of officials could
be seen around the corners actlVely
discussing the matter.
The failure to move into the new

Reports from Portland that the
| portage railway commission is Sc
riously considering the advisability
of suspending operations of the road
as soon as the freight and wheat now
on the river bank is carried to market,
resulted in President F. w. Kaser, is
suing call for a meeting of the di-
rectors of the Commercial club and
those interested in the Open River as
socia.ion, to be held in the CONNER
cial club rooms at 4:30 o'clock this
afternoon.
The first intelligence received in
Walla Walla that there was a prob
a-1lity of the portage, railway sus-
pending operations was conveyed in
a. letter from President Teal of the
Open River association to DR.. N. G..
Blalock, urging him to attend a meet
ing Of the portage commission and
Open River association, to be held at
President Tears office in Portland
tomorrow afternoon.
Crisis in Affairs.
President Teals letter was exceed
ingly pessimistic and he intimated
the affairs of the portage railway had
reached a crisis. The Commercial
club meeting this afternoon was
called by President Kaser with a view
of passing resolutions protesting
against the abandonment of the port
age railway project and pledging the
moral as we'll as substantial support
of the commercial interests of Walla
Walla to the association.
Dr. Blalock will probably be dele
gated as the clubs representative to
attend the meeting at Portland to-
morrow which will be attended by
members of the Open River associa-
ton and portage commission and also
by Governor Chamberlain and members
Of the Oregon legislature.
The difficulties in which the portage
commission are involved are said to
arise through internal strife among
the head officers terminating in an
open rupture between Superintendent
Cook and Traffic Manager Smith Of
the railway. According to reports
Superintendent Cook has rendered his
resignation.

WHERE DUTY Is ALWAYS DAN
GEROUS.

No class of men in this country de-
serve better Of the government or
are poorer paid in, proportion to the
value of their services than the rail-
way mail clerks. They have the post
of danger and are constantly on the
firing line, ,ror their car. with its clos
ed front next TO. the engine, puts
them in more peril and makes them
more helpless than any others in the
train in case of accident. Hence it
is that in railroad disasters We so
often see the name of the postal
clerk in the list of killed or wounded.
His duties are arduons and trying,
even If the ever-present danger could
be eliminated, and for that reason he
should be well paid for his work,
much better paid than he is now,
and when he is crippled in the ser
vice he should be promptly put on
the pension roll. We make heroes
of soldiers wounded in battle and
pension thousands of the unwounded
who have no moral claims whatever
upon the bounty of the Government,
but the railway mail clerk who falls
at the post of duty is as truly hero
as he in blue or khaki who gest his
dose on the battlefield, but there is
no pension for him. This is all
wrong, and the press of the country
should take up his eaase and insist
that he be better paid for his most
useful work to which he deyotes
himself so faithfully and that the
benefit of the pension law be extend
ed to him when he is ineapacitated
in the Government service. In this
connection we strongly endorse the
following on the subject from the
Pensacola Journal:
tom Watson's Magazine this
month contains an excellent article
on our postal mail service We re-
fer to the matter at this time simply
to draw attention to the utterly in
adequate remuneration accorded the
railway mail clerks by the govern
ment In addition to this, the mail
cars are invariably given the most
dangerous position in the train
next to the engine, whieh-eonsider-
ing the fact that the government
pays an exorbitant price for the ser
vice rendered by the railroads. a
fault that cannot too soon be rem
edied. The railway mail clerks
should not only get more money they
should be literally pensioned in case
of disability injured while on duty"

Tom Watson played it low down
on the confiding Democratic party
up in Georgia during the recent Hoke
Smith troubles in that State. He
was so anxious to get in the game
and beat Clark Howell that he an
nounced himself a convert to the
Democratic party, and now he has
gone back on the whole transaction.
In letter to an old Populist friend
up in North Carolina under date of
Sept. 25, Tom writes: 81 have not
returned TO the democratic party.
1t is true that 1 supported the Hon
Hoke Smith in the state campaign
of this year, for special reasons OF
the graYest nature, the issue be-
ing disfranchisement of the negroes
At the opening of the campaign ev-
cry one was put on notice that l re
NAMED Populist, and / remain one
still" The truth about Tom is thai
he doesn't belong to any party. He
is essentially free lance and his
genius is of a kind that would never
submit to the restrictions of an in
elastic party platform. He is like
a mountain howitzer strapped on a
refractory mule and when it goes
OF it is as likely to hit one part OF
the horizon as another.

Here's a little news item tucked
away in a corner of a st. Louis pa
per telling of an incident which Oc-
Cured last Saturday at the little
railroad station of Pacific, Missouri,
with a locomotive engineer for its
hero. We commend it to our read
ers, especially the young men, who
will find no difficulty in drawing the
moral from it:
Across the arm rest in the win
dow of suburban passenger loco
motive which passes out of the city
four times daily is a vivid scar. The
evidence Of a broken friendship, ter
minated by the tender of a drink
of whiskey. In the flight of the pas
senger train an extra gang was fire.
Quently passed. engaged in placing
the tracks in condition. Members
of the extra gang soon struck up an
acquaintance. Sunday evening the
locomotive stopped directly opposite
the village saloon, which at that hour
of the day had the lid on. A young
walking boss dashed across the in
tervening court and cIambered into
the cab with the usual Hello Bill, s.
at the same time his hand sought
his hip pocket annd he produced a
flask, pushing it under the engineer s
nose with the salutation, have a
nip" Bill took the bottle, slowly
lifted it above his head and dashed
it across the window sill. Young
man, get down out of this cab and
be quick about it," was his reply.
The walking boss lost a free ride
down the line and the friendship OF
an engineer"
