BRINGS CONDEMNATION SUIT.
Traction Company is After Right of
Way on West Side.

The Walla Walla Valley Traction
company yesterday began condemna-
ton proceedings for a right of way
through lands owned by Eugene S.
Favor. west of the city for the new
inter- urban line to Milton. NJ B.
Dwelly who holds a mortgage on the
property. and Chinese gardeners who
lease part of the land, are made de-
PENDANTS to the action The hearing
has been set for August 2S
1t was reported that Mr. Favor was
willing to treat with the traction COM
pany for a right of way but that the
mortgage interposed an objection re-
sulting in the company being forced to
bring condemnation proceedings. The
land is situated just north of the Mill
tary reservation. The proceedings are
similar to those brought by the COM
rany against A F. Perry a few days
ago for a right of way through the
Perry farm near Four Mile bridge.

Origin of the Architect,

The earliest architecture beQueathed
by ancient nations was an outcome of
ancestor worship. It's first phases
were exhibited in either tombs or tenn
pies, which, as we have long ago seen,
are the less developed and more de-
veloped forms of the same thing;
hence, as being both appliances for
worship, now simple and now elabo-
rate, both came under the control Of
the priesthood, and the inference to be
drawn is that the first architects were
priests. An illustration which may be
put first is yielded by ancient India.
Says Manning, Architecture was
treated as a sacred science by learned
Hndoos." Again we read in Hunter,
Indian architecture, although also
ranked as an upa veda, or supplement
tary part of inspired learning, derived
its development from Buddhist rather
than from Brahmanical impulses" In
Tennent's "Ceylon" there are passages
variously exhibiting the relations be-
tween architecture and religion and
It's ministers. By many peoples the
cave was made the primitive tomb
temple, and in the east it became in
some cases largely developed.

SPLENDID CORPS OF TEACHERS SECURED

H A. Gardner, president of the city
board of education announced this af-
ternoon that the city schools will oper
for the fall term September 3, or g
week earlier than last year.
City Superintendent Jones is eX-
pected to arrive home in a few days
from the Sound, where he is spend
ing the summer vacation, to superin-
tend preparations for the opening OF
the new school year. Many of the
teachers who have been spending
their vacations out of the city this
year are beginning to return to get
ready for the years work.
Improving Buildings.
"The city board has taken advant-
age of the summer vacation to make
many needed repairs on several of the
school buildings" said President
Gardner this afternoon. cat the Lin
coin school a new heating system Is
being installed to take the place of
an Anticipated heating plant that has
done service for many years The new
system will be a great improvement
over the old plant. The Baker school
is being repainted and otherwise fit
ted up for the years work. At the
Washington school we have found it
necessary to fit up two new rooms to
accommodate a large increase in the
school population in the Fourth ward.
One room has been fitted up in the
basement and the library room has
also been remodelled for the scholars.
The Washington school is now prac-
tically a 10-room building"
President Gardner says the outlook
is most promising for an excellent
school year. The teaching force has
been greatly strengthened and Walla
Walla will have one of the best corps
of teachers to be found in any city
in the west.

Officers Conduct

in attendance
Chief Woman, w. E. Richmond, the

hill woman in Dunn's room at the

Shallow Water Navigation.

In shallow water navigation the
western world can teach the Chinese
little. They have by centuries of prac-
tice simplified the methods of use Of
their many rivers, says the author Of
1.-The Reshaping of the Far East"
It was on tributary of the Yang
tse, q broad and shallow and treach-
erous stream, that he came across a
new genus Of junk, the self rescuer.
There are many kinds Of junks in
China, from the huge, numbering sea
junk, which looks like a galleon Of
other days, to the wasp WASTED river
junk which sails the great canal. But
to the western traveller this one was
new.
1t was double junk, a junk which
cOnld be split in two. Midships it
was only chained together in primi-
tive way, and by releasing certain
bolts it could be divided into halves,
the stern floating one way and the
stem another.
Coming downstream it often hap
pens that heavy junk piles up on
some sand bar and def1es all efforts to
float it off again, for here water is
counted by inches. Then it is only
necessary to unchain the after half
sail it away and unload it, float it
alongside the forward half again and
unload from one into the other until
the first half, much lightened, can be
pushed off. Then they are reclaimed
men, squatting on their launches, ex-
planned to the traveller that this was
really very dry country and not a
water country at all and that to navi
gate where there is seldom more than
fifteen or twenty inches Of water
needs special measures.

CANNON AND GUNPOWDER.
ancient Origin and Evolution of the
"Weapon of Fire"

ancient Origin and Evolution of the
weapon of Fire"
what is cannon? The word is de-
rived from the Greek kama. Latin
sanna, a cane, and the Hindoos in like
manner call it. nalika, from nala, q
reed. Its archaic form was a hollow
bamboo cane, from which an arrow
tipped with fire or a ball of lighted
tow saturated with inlammable oil
was blown by the breath. At some
very remote period the people of India
ana China discovered that small
quantity of explosive matter, inserted
at the bottom of the cane, was effec-
tive as propelling agent, and so the
idea OF a rocket originated In process
OF time an iron tube was substituted
for the bamboo cane, and more pow
erful charge could then be used. These
metal rocket tubes gradually increased
in size and weight until, closed at the
lower end and pierced with touch
hole, they bore rude resemblance to
the guns used in modern warfare
Such appears to have been the natural
evolution OF the cannon.
The word cannon" is in the original
Sanskrit shet aghnee, or the hundred
killer" and ''frearm" is agni aster,
weapon of fires" which is said to
have separated after it's discharge from
a bamboo cane into several distinct
streams Of fame, each Of which took
effect upon the enemy and was mex
tinguishable by ordinary means CHal-
he'd, introduction" page 52).
The description is very suggestive of
the use of gunpowder. 1t has been re-
marked that there are many districts
on the continent Of Asia where salt
peter exists In such quantities upon
the surface Of the soil that its acct
dental mixture with the carbonized
wood Of campfires produced a COM
pound whose highly combustible ma
ture must have been a matter of COM
mon notoriety, and it is to the inhab-
itants of that part of the world that
we would naturally ascribe the inven-
ton of rockets seven if other evidence
to that effect were wanting Another
material suitable for the manufacture
Of explosives which the east produced
was the mineral oil, which plays SO
large part in our modern civilization.
Pliny tells us that naphtha was so
called around Babylon and in the terri
tory Of the Astaceni, in Parthia. It
flowed like liquid bitumen and had
great affinity for fire, which instantly
darted on it wherever it was seen. The
country Of the Astaceni was near the
Sources Of the Indus, perhaps Kabul
From naphtha were probably prepared
the fire balls and wildfire which were
sometimes used with great effect in
Indian battles. Indeed, it is sdrpris-
ing that the secret of manufacturing
these formidable explosives should
have SO long been confined to particu-
lar districts and not have come into
more general use in ancient warfare
Except for some very doubtful refer
ences contained in the works Of clas-
steal writer's the old Greeks and Ro-
mans, and even the European nations
Of medieval times, seem to have been
generally ignorant of their use-St.

vorced wife and consequently the de-
ceased's stepdaughter during their
married career.
Mrs. Warner had steadily main
tanned that another will had been lett
by Mr.. Young and that by its terms
she was made the principal beneficiary.
On Tuesday, April Il last, she and
her brother Fred Young, asked Cashier
Hall to be allowed to look through the
dead mans papers in the bank. The
request was granted and Mr.. Hall was
with them on the occasion. While the
search was on the cashiers attention
was called by Fred Young to map on
+ the wall and when he again turned to
the bank box an envelope marked
Last VIII stared him in the face
Mr.. Hall declared afterwards that
he felt like a man who had been
"doped" and he instantly accused Mrs.
Young of having placed the will in
the box herself.
The witnesses to the will were
John McCourt and a man named Lar
lins of Weston. Mr.. McCOurt has
steadily declared that his signature
was a forgery, though cleverly done;
while Larkins has never been located.
Will Never Probated.
After the second will had been dis
covered" by Mrs. Warner it was sent
to C. H. Carter and it was presumed
would be filed for probate However,
such was never done and consequently
the finger of suspicion became pointed
very straight in the direction of Mrs
Warner.
Nor has the third will been filed for
probate though it evidently had been
in Mr.. Carter's possession for some
little time.
Is "Third" Will Forgery.
Just what is contained in the third
will District Attorney Phelps de-
clines to say at this time for the rea-
son that it might be better withheld.
However, it is known that by its terms
Mrs Warner is made the chief bene-
fciary and that the witnesses are B.
B. Hall and Mr.. Blair of Weston. Mr..
Hall declares his name is a forgery,
while Mr.. Blair says his is very much
like a genuine signature. though he
does not remember signing the docu-
ment.
