TRAILING THE PEDDLERs.

Of Business,

According to the Dayton Courier
Press, the scheme works as follows in
Walla Walla and Columbia counties.
AS the result of the trailing system.
which made life unbearable to the
buggy peddlers, they have consented
to leave Walla Walla and Columbia
counties for good, and the hardware
dealers In the two counties have
achieved what they have been trying
to do for months. The plan has cost
the local dealers considerable money,
but they have rid themselves of the
buggy peddler pest.
When the peddlers were in walla
Walla county several weeks ago the
dealers pursued the same means to rid
themselves OF the nuisance and they
succeeded temporarily The travellers
returned, however, and started opera
tions from wallula. Hearing of this
new invasion, the dealers started in
operation the same system and 1t
worked successfully. Wherever a
peddler started to tell farmer OF the
good points OF his wares, a trailer
would be there to tell OF the benefits
derived by patronizing home indus
tries. The trailer was always sue

that cities, towns and municipalities
throughout the United States observe
Flag Day, which is June IA. The cir
cular says IN part:
June 2, 1898, the American Flag as
ISOLATION was formed. The flag had
been improperly used, but there were
many loyal citizens who thought It
should be held sacred and not put to
uses which would teach young Amer
leans to look upon its folds with less
reverence than it was regarded by
themselves.
1t was becoming common to see It
used as a trademark, as advertising a
special brand of cigars and In other
ways 1t was put to uses which de-
graded and desecrated 1t. The object
of the American Flag association was
to prevent these abuses, and to Sc
cure a general celebration of June II
as Flag Day." because on that day in
the year 1777 congress selected the
flag OF, the United States.
Both of the purposes for which the
association was formed have been ac-
complished. The putting OF the flag
to ignoble uses has been stopped and
June IA has been set apart by con-
gress to be observed as Flag Day" all
over the United States.

the republicans had the advantage Of
a more favorable location. Colonel

DOUBLE TRACK NORTH BANK
Hartman Offers Terms of Settlement
TO the Hill People.

The Portland Oregonian of Friday
says OF the Hill-Harriman railroad
war:
That the struggle between Hill and
Hartman on the north bank of the
Columbia may result in double
track line from Wallula to Portland.
giving four railroads access to this
city instead of the two Hill lines that
Will gain entrance by the Portland &
Seattle railway, is the latest deyelop-
ment In the warfare between the rival
railways.
OVertures have been made, II Is
learned. to President Howard Elliott.

sentative of the Hartman interests.
for double track down the river,
with each of the warning factions to
pay an equal share of construction.
This step throws the onus of block
ing railroads trying to get to Port
land upon the Hill people, providing
they do not accept the proffered
peace. Hitherto, the contention has
been made that it Is. Hartman who
is working against Portland's interests
by raising every possible barrier in
the way Of the Hill road.
Now, If Hill does not meet Harri-
man half way, the blame, 1t is urged

TIME TO RESIGN.
Illinois Postmaster Writes Eleventh
and Last Letter and "Hikes Out"

The eagerness with which fourth
class postmasterships are sought
seems strange when one remembers
that the salaries are small and the
duties often exacting.
No fourth-class postmaster receives
more than $1,000 year. More than
half of them receive less than 500 a
year; $4,000 receive less than $50 a
year; and hundreds OF them receive
$40 or s12 a year.
Henry A. Castle, former auditor for
the postoffice department, recently
contributed to the Sunday Magazine
an article filled with curious infor-
nation concerning the fourth-class
postmaster and his idiosylcrasies.
Here, for example. in a facetious let
ter from an Illinois postmaster who
for some time had been vainly trying
to resign:
But, anyhow, this time l am
unanimously through fiddling about
1t, and this here 'leventh and last res
ignation of mine has got to be ac-
cepted, let the chips fall where they
may. Along about o'clock this af-
ternoon a passel of our best citizens

People who live along the north
bank of the Umatilla below the city,
report that the water came up so sud-
denly on Wednesday morning that
many did not realize the seriousness
of the situation until their horses had
been surrounded. At the Joe Snyder
place the water surrounded the house
and Mrs. Snyder was forced to wade
through water waist deep to reach a
place of safety. The family of Charles
kidder escaped just in time and took
refuge in the school house until after
the flood.
While it would be impossible to
give detailed list of the losses suf-
fered by farmers along the river, the
following account of the experiences
of several along the north bank will
show the nature of the loss:
At the R. L. Oliver place the river
changed its channel and is now run
ming through the farm. Several
thousand dollars worth OF alfalfa was
ruined and other damage done.
On the William Daniel place, where
the De Latour family lives, the garden
was Wasneu away as was also 10 cords
of wood and many chickens. On the
Hill place, where the Baughman fam
lily lives. the alfalfa crop was ruined
and other damage inflicted. R. Por-
ter just below, lost practically all of
his garden. while Charles Kidder.
further down the river. lost many
chickens and had his household goods
damaged by the water entering his
house.
George Kidder lost lumber wagon,
is chickens, and had his orchard and
garden badly damaged. Joe Francis
lost two horses and number of
chickens in the deluge.
On the Martin Martison place four
cows, $50 chickens, 13 sheep, six hogs
and hack were washed away, while
the fences and garden were badly
damaged.

The lights will be on again within
two weeks, provided the roads are
repaired so that supplies may be
taken to the power plant" said DIR. f.
w. Vincent. local manager for the
Northwestern Gas & Electric company
thsi morning.
DR.. Vincent has just returned from
the power plant above Milton, having
left here for that place Thursday
morning accompanied by County Com
missioner Horace Walker. Upon their
arrival at the plant they found that
havoc had been wrought by the tor
rent that came down from the noun
tains just after the heavy rains. Four
of the six big transformers had been
swept from their concrete foundations
and one was found $50 yards from its
station. AS the transformers weigh
six tons each, the force OF the water
must have been terrific to affect
them.
Also, 1900 feet of the flume was
washed away, and DIR. Vincent says
the greatest task is to repair that dam
age. However, he says that IL the
roads can be made passabe so that
lumber and other necessary material
may be taken to the ground from
Walla Walla, the plant will be ready
for operation within two weeks.
Abutments Washed Away.
According to Commissioner Horace
Walker, the large bridge in the Mil
ton country were not washed away,
but in many instances the abutments
were washed out, thus making the
bridges impossible. The small
bridges were washed away bodily, in
many instances.
