pOTLATCH LUMBER COMPANY
branch Yards)
WaIIa WaIIa, Wash.
John M. Davis, Manager.

The establishment of branch yards
.or the Potlach Lumber Company at
Nalla Walla may be accepted as
led evidence of the increasing de-
and for lumber and building mate
ral both in the city and surrounding
slntry. If We may measure the
,lspective Importance of its branch
re- by the magnitude of the parent
l.nch, the Walla Walla branch
I-1mises soon to be one of the largest
s-,erprises in the city.
The parent company is not only one
g. the largest lumber companies in
t.. state, but of the Pacific Coast as
val. It's holdings of timber are said
f. be sufficient to keep its mills, hav-
j a capacity of one million feet per
day. employed for thirty years. The
cumpany owns large modern mill at
TaI0use another smaller mill at Col
fax and is building an immense mod
,-u mill to have capacity for pro-
duoing 100000 feet of lumber per day
a, its new town of Potlach, Idaho.
This is to be model little city pat
termed somewhat after the town of
Pullman. Illinois. There will be no
saloons or disreputable resorts of any
KIND. The company has already
erected between four and five hundred
buildings, and a number of the prin-
cipal officers of the company have
become residents of the new town
Besides the satisfaction of supplying
comfortable modern homes for its
employees, the company's management
expect to realize an economy in being
able to make positions in it's employ
so desirable as to be sought for by
men skilled in their line of work, and
of a character to appreciate the ad-
vantages offered of a modern home,
education for their children, and their
safety from communicating influences
common to open towns and cities.
Having sales branch of this great
company in Walla Walla, it will en-
able our people of this city and the
surrounding country to buy practt-
cally at first hands. The Walla Walla
branch will at the beginning occupy
half block at Third and Birch
streets, which will be nearly all under
roof, and all electrically lighted. More
ground will be secured as it becomes
needed to accommodate the business.
The stock carried will consist of
rough and dressed lumber, finishing
lumber, sash, doors. blinds, mOuldings,
lime, cement, building paper, etc, etc.
The company will have its own teams
for the delivery of lumber and Other
building material in the city, and will
make estimates, upon application, for
material necessary for buildings of
every kind.
John NJ. Davis, manager Of the
Walla Walla branch, is a practical
man of experience in the lumber bust
ness in the Middle West, whose ex-
pressed admiration for, and confidence
in the future of Walla Walla, gives
fair promise that the company he
represents may be counted upon to
do its share in promoting the best in
terests of Walla Walla and the sur
rounding country.

Boarding House and Saloon at Alta,
Utah, Wrecked.

Salt Lake, Jan. 22.-The last of the
six bodies buried by the snowslide at

loon in which the men were sleeping.
Both buildings were wrecked and the
former was completely hidden from

Three OF the five men sleeping In
the saloon managed to crawl from
under the debris and snow and, attired
only in their night clothing, worked
for hours in an effort to reach their
companions. Their feet were badly
frozen. Fifty men were o o at work
seeking the bodies, but not until noon
was the first corpse recovered. The
men who lost their lives in the board
ing house are: Albert Bennett,

UNEanTH ANARCHIST PLOT.
Governor Pennypacker Among Those
Marked for Assassination,

Washington, Pa, Jan. 24.-In hunt
ing for the murderers of Michael Car
razola, the wealthy Italian who was
shot at Dunlevy last week, Washing
ton county authorities have unearthed
a plot to assassinate some Of the lead
ing men OF the country. They have
secured evidence that among those
marked for death was Governor Pen
nypacker of Pennsylvania. Letters
and papers are also in possession of
the authorities which decree the
death of other leading men. The ex-
istence of this band of anarchists
was %unearthed when Coroner Schnee
and Chief OF Police Logan Of Monon-
gahela began to follow up clues which
indicated that Carrazola's death was
due to the Vaccinations of the Ital-
ian "Black Hand" society. The evil
dence on which charges will be based
was discovered in a squalid shanty
near the mining village of Baird,
three miles from Monongahela City.
In this house. located in an obscure
hollow, were found papers and docu-
ments pointing to a wholesale assas-
sination scheme. Anarchists in many
parts of the country are in Implicated
and arrests in many sections are
looked for.
John Spida, the alleged president
OF the society, was arrested and was
put in Jail, along with George Barli
who is suspected of implication In
the death Of Carrazola.

ty-four passengers and about sixty in
her crew, the steamer Valencia went
ashore about ten miles cas- OF Cape

drowned in trying to leave the ship.
Nine men got ashore about fifteen
miles from here. Two lei are pris-
Oners on the face OF the cliff and can.
not get up or back to the ship. The

tide is high. The men report pathetic
scenes. One woman dropped her child
into the sea In trying to hand 1t to
her husband. A little boy of five Is
running around the deck trying TO
find his mother, who is among those

draft of the wage demands that are
to be presented by the United Mine
Workers to the operators at the inter.
state conference at indianapolis this
week was secured from reliable
sources and shows one decided change

ment instead of the two-year scale,
which is to expire e April, and
which was the first of the kind to be
tried by the coal interests. The de.
mands to be presented to the oper.
ators include a straight advance of

GOVERNMENT STATES CASE.
Attorney Morrison Tells What May Be
Proven AGAINST Packers.


Chicago, Jan. 24.-The government,
through District Attorney Morrison,
made its opening statement in the
packers case. The district attorney
entered upon his address to the jury
with such vigor that the attorneys for
defendants at once interposed objec-
tions. THE claims of the defendants
in this case" declared District Attor.
ney Morrison, ARE only a part of
their clap-trap defense presented by
men OF influence in the effort to unfit
the jury for fair deliberation in this
case. These men have not only the
ingenuity of criminal lawyers, but
they are corporation lawyers-trust
lawyers"
Attorney Hynes, who closed the
opening for the packers with an at
tack upon the district attorney, made
strong objections to the statements
of the district attorney and the court
was called on for a decision. 1t ruled
in favor of Attorney Morrison.
Another clash occurred when the
district attorney declared that the
plea Of the packers that they are en-
titled to immunity was an latter
thought"

INSURANCE SUIT IN IOWA.
Bill for Receiver for National Life OF
CHICAGO Filed at Des Moines.

Chicago, Jan. ga bill, asking for
a receiver for the National Life In
surance company at Chicago has been
filed in the district court at Des
Moines, Ia, where the company has
ST. ZOO, 900 on deposit with the state
auditor. The bill was filed for DR.. A.
l.. Watson, a policyholder, who asks
also that the Chicago company be re-
strained from transferring Or dispos-
ing of funds. DR.. Watson alleges that
promises made for the payment OF
gold bonds have not been fulfilled.
Officials of the National Life assert
that the suit is the outcome OF an at
tempt to hold up the company. Our
attention was called to it first by a
notice from a young attorney OF Gales
burg, w. II. Atwood" said Attorney
l.. A. Stasbins, counsel for the COM
pany. He wrote, saying he had a
bond of the National Life and Trust
company, which had been merged with
the National Life. This bond, he said,
had lapsed. The only object is to in
jure the company by questioning its
solvency in this way by a suit for a
receiver. No n who knew the facts
of the company's solvency would pay
any attention to It,"

WARE ON WITNESS STAND.
Accused Clergyman Denies Purpose
to Defraud Government.

Omaha, Jan. 24.-The twelfth day of
the trial of the case of the United
States against Rev. George G.. Ware
Of Lead, S. d., charged with conspir.
acy with Frank w. Lambert and Har-
ry Welsh to defraud the government
out of titles to public lands within
the u. B. |. land and cattle enclosure
in Hooker county, Nebraska, reached
its climax in the appearance of Rev.
Ware on the stand as a witness In his
own behalf. His story did not differ
materially from the evidence given by
Frank Lambert, except in he con.
struction put on the motives of the
transactions. The attorneys for the
government interposed very few OBJ
~jections to his testimony or the ques-
lions put him by his attorneys. Mr..
Wares story was a recital of his eX-
periences in America. Apparently, he
made no effort to conceal any of the
transactions between himself and
Lambert, the essential denial being OF
any agreement to buy the land filed
upon by the soldiers after they had
made final proof for $3.50 or any other
sum.
81 had no intention, desire or pur
pose to defraud the government out
of the land or any part of it in my
contract or agreement with Mr.. Lam
bert, nor was this contract made In
the interest of myself, the U. B. I
Land and Cattle company or anybody
else," he said.

MURDERS SEVEN PERSONS.
Charles n. Aver Then Burns House

Pembroke, N. H., Jan. 19.-While
the official report Of the tragedy at
North Pembroke. in which the lives
of all the eight members of the house
hold of Charles II. Aver were blotted
out, will not be completed for several
days. the county authorities believe
that a dispute over money matters
furnished the motive for Ayers al
legged crime. The theory held by
County Solicitor Thomas F. Clifford Is
that Aver shot his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Laura Lakeman, that his wife inter.
fered to protect her mother, and that
hoping to conceal the evidences Of
his act, the man In a frenzy put an
end to the lives of the entire family
and set fire to the dwelling. He com.
mitted suicide several hours later.
