PACK OF CARDS HIS BIBLE.
Familiar Tale Which Has Caused
Wor1d-Wide Comment.

AL irregular intervals during the past
quarter of a century there has appeared
in public prints the story OF a soldier
who, being caught presumably playing
solitaire in church with q pack Of cards,
was arrested on the charge Of desccrat-
ing the Sabbath. The offensc was all
the more hcinous as the alleged crime
was committed within u pace of worship.
The soldier, however, put up such IN
able defense that the magistrate not only
discharged him, but rcprimanded the
constable who made the arrest. There
arc one or two minor defects IN thes sol
dicrs plea which ths magistrate either
overlooked or failed to notice, being I'M
pressed with the cloqucncc Of the soldier.
Tho story here reprinted goes rs follows:
.What have you to say for y0urself?"
Numbered the magistrate.
"Only this, your honor replied the
culprit. 81 have been on the march for

N. f. Jones Tells Sound People
What Fine Town / is
WILL Be A GREAT CITY SOME DAY
AIR OF PROSPERITY, HE SAYS,
REIGNS IN ALL Sec
TIONS

| M. F. Jones. a resident of Ravenna,
who has lust returned from a visit to
Walla Walla. is loud In mis- praise Of
the progressive spirit of that city. In
speaking of the growth and progress
sion of the town. he said, says the
Saettle acknowledgements:
"Walla Walla has a fine, steady
growth and at this time many finc
business blocks and residences are go
ing up. The Y. NJ. c. A. is erecting
building which will when completed
represent an expenditure of 900. o.
o. Denny, well known in Seattle, has
purchased property at the corner Of
Second avenue and Alder street, and is
| constructing a building that is to cost
$3.50 The old tneater which for
merly occupied the property has been
torn down. In addition to this a large
dry goods house has purchased the
property on the southeast corner Of
Third avenue and Alder street and
plans are being drawn for the erection
Of large building there.
LAS is the case in Seattle, church
property is being picked up for BUSH
ness purposes, and the organizations
are moving farther into the residence
districts. In the majority of cases
where the churches are putting up new
edifices they are exceptionally fine
ones There is a general air of pros
perity about the city in the residence
as well as the business district. Fine
residences are being erected and con-
siderable street paving is being done.
Tracks for street railway lines are
being laid in many parts of the city
and the line is rapidly being extended
to Milton, Ore, eleven miles distant.
1.-The people Of Walla Walla are
greatly interested in Seattle, which
they consider the great future COM
mercial center of the Pacific. Millions
of dollars from those places mas been
invested in Seattle, and many business
and professional men of Seattle were
formerly residents of those places.
"1n the great movement of trans
continental roads to the Pacific, should
Walla Walla be reached by one Of them
it would be come one of the great
cities of Washington and the road en-
tering that country would have an
everlasting source of wealth. A direct
line from that point to Seattle is what
is needed.

HURRY LINE TO COMPLETION
Northern Pacific Adds New Crews
Along Snake
MANY CAMPS FROM RIpARIA TO PASCO
OVER SIXTEEN MILES OF TRACK
HAVE ALREADY BEEN
LAID.
MANY CAMPS FROM RIpARIA TO PASCO

RIPARIA, Oct. 24.-The Northern
Pacific construction forces on the line
between this point and Pasco are be-
ing daily augmented and the company
is acting with exceptional energy in
assembling the men and equipment,
the condition indicating purpose to
hurry the line to completion. 1t is
said to be the purpose to have the
line completed by the time the Lewis
ton-Riparia road is finished. Camps
are now established along the entire
line from Riparia to Pasco. The first
camp out Of Riparia is located about
a mile from town and has 60 men
employed. The placing of Northern
Pacific surveyors along the south bank
between this point and Lewiston came
as no particular surprise to the peo-
pie here, for contractors engaged on
the Riparia-Pasco link have frequent
ly made the statement that the North
ern Pacific had assured them that
construction work above Riparia on
the south bank was a part of the per-
manent plans of the company. This
work, it is believed here, will be
awarded just as soon as the surveys
can be completed.
During the past month good prog
ress has been made on the lewiston
Riparia road work. Sixteen miles of
steel has been laid and as soon as a
few bridges can be installed, the road
will practically be ready for steel all
the way to Almota. 1t is the opinion
here now that the first train over the
new road to reach Lewiston will be
sent out of here about March 1.
