band locates permanently, which he
now thinks will be in Spokane.
Jeff Hayes and family left Tuesday
for Ontario, where Mr.. Hayes will
winter his sheep and probably reside
permanently, If he can secure suitable
range. Hay, he says, is abundant over
there, and cheap accordingly, and he

past.

WALLA WALLA GAVE
$4,000 FOR FAIR
COUNTY COURT WAS
EXTREMELY LIBERAL.
County and State Levy in Wall Walla
County After Appropriating $4,000
for County Fair Association Is But
10 Mills-Lowest Levy In the His
tory Of the County.

The public spirit of Walla Walla
county is forcibly shown by the fact
that the county court has just appro-
priated about $4,000 for the county
fair association. In speaking of the
extremely low tax levy in that county
and other features of the question or
taxation in that county, the Walla
Walla Bulletin says:
The county commissioners decided
this morning on making tax levy or
10 mills for the coming year, says the
Walla Walla Bulletin. This is the
lowest levy ever made in Walla Walla
county, and the showing is highly
gratifying to the board of commission
ers. The 10 mill levy will run the
county for a year, pay the states por-
ton, cover the expenses of a new jail
and provide for an appropriation of
about $4,000 for the county fair.
The actual running expenses of the
county require but mills, but the
state asks $50 mills, it required %
mills to pay for the Jail and 1t was
decided to give the fair association
80 mills, making a total of 10 mills
required.
The state needs about S109,560.90
while Walla Walla county needs about
! S10l,131. The total amount to be
raised is about $2l0,700.
There is enc new fund the state re-
quired money for the state highway
commission. This must be paid fol
| by the various counties in the state
and Walla Walla county will contrib
ute $400 for which it is doubted b!
the commissioners If the county will
ever get anything in return.
Lowest I'm History.
The levy last year was Il mills, al
though the valuation was lower. Ever
with the high valuation this year tn
rate is the lowest in the history o
the county
While the Jail is counted by tn
commissioners as in the general lev
1t is extra this year, as is the fair ap
preparation.

From some unknown cause the
 idea has seized upon the heads of the
 government departments at Wash ington and spread to the clerks and other employees that great shakeup of all the departments will be made at the next sesion of congress. It is possible this idea has sprung, part ly, from the mysterious movements of the Keep commission, and partly from the result of Commissioner War ner's administration of the pension bureau, in declining to fill vacancies, thus reducing. indirectly, the num- Der of employees. At the last session there was manifested disposition to inquire more carefully into the work ings of the departments, with a view to cutting down the cost of operat- ing them, but this was side-tracked by the more important legislation railroads and pure food. These subjects, 1t is said will be out of the way and the next session will have plenty of time to devote to the The Keep commission has always had an air of mystery about 1t, but of late has grown more than ever. and great un- is the result.

Senator Bacon is one of the demo- crats who do not take kindly to the
 proposition advanced by MT Bryan
 for government to go into the rail-
 road ownership business. Senator Bacon is regarded as one of the
 ablest and wisest leaders of the party,
 and very conservative statesman.
 He is now enjoying a few days rest
 at Atlantic City, and his opinion Is
 being sought by the leaders of his
 party in other states than Georgia. Of Bryan's scheme he says: Tn It's
 practical operations it would be the
 most extreme and radical measure of
 paternalistic socialism. I can think
 score of strong and sufficient req sons against it, and scarcely one good
 reason for it-certainly not one that
 is not counterbalanced in tenfold de- gree by the evils which 1t would en-
 tail It would be impracticable for the government to maintain and op-
 crate two hundred and twenty thou sand miles Of railway economically and honestly and build the new lines that would be required as we'll. It
 would present the most inviting and unlimited field for graft and thievery the world ever saw. The very great majority of the officers and opera tives doubtless would be honest men, but the grafters and thieves could not be kept out. The spoil would be too immense, too rich, and too invit- ing. And in the complications of so :. vast and intricate a system covering a continent few of the grafters and thieves would ever be caught. The government would not be bankrupted only because it is too rich and re- sourceful to be bankrupted by any thing. but it would nevertheless have to put Its hand deep down into the pockets of the people to prevent 1t. The fact that the post office depart ment is successfully run by the gov ernment is no evidence to the con- trary of this. The railroad business of the United States is, in its magni- tude, scope, intricacies, and difficult ties one hundred times greater than that of the post office department.

The political conditions that prevail in states long controlled by the re- publican party. shows the depravity of republican leaders. The voters seem to have but little to say. Some of them attend the caucuses and con- ventions. but these abjectly follow
 their leaders and endorse their worst doings. When it comes to the cleo ton they show still less independence
 for they march to the polls to ratify the ticket named by the boses. Oc- casionaIly a republican partisan or gan of the faction that loses control of the organization blusteTs a bit about the depravity of "the ins- and advises ''the outs'' to do something hut when it comes near election time the whole bitter dose Is swallowed '-for the sake of the party The con ditions in Connecticut at the present time shows to what extent boss rule can and does go. and yet the mem bers If the 2.

The story to the effect that lob sters are likely to be supplanted in restaurants by reindeer meat is CT roneous. It seems that birds nest soup was meant. Then there is all ways the toothsome mess of spiders eyebrows bidding for public favor against camel's hair thirst.-Bridge- port Post.
 Dr Darlington, health officer of New York, has 'begun raid upon impure drugs in that city and finds that more than half the drugs sold are in some way fraudulent.

More power to his elbow!-Bridge- port Standard.
 Prices of coal. this winter, should not be high. There is no labor trou- ble among the miners, and the quan- tity of coal mined is enormous. Ov- CT 393.O00.OO0 tons were taken from American coal mines during the year, and of that amount 100000 tons were anthracite.-Ansonia Seminal
 It appears from the evidence at hand that the Real Estate Trust com pany of Philadelphia was systema- tically footed.

The police records attest that bank burglary is In these days an abandoned profession. but not al- ways Is there the correspondingly in- creased security for bank funds that might be expected. - Providence Journal.
 J. c. Betancue the Southern Paci- fic detectives has been tie hunting for the company for several weeks and has located some 5000 Southern Pa- cific ties on ranches and at mines. some of them forty miles from the Southern Pacific right of way.

This is the time of year for the re- unions of the old veterans of the war between the states, and many old memories are revived. Among them, is one that is once more on its trav- els in the newspaper columns. It is the story about Sherman's message to Hold the fort!" That apocryphal message furnished the basis of one of the most effective of the Sunday school hymns. that is still often heard at revival meetings. The old story was that Sherman signaled a mes sage to General Corse at Altoona. Hold the fort; I am coming" The writer remembers a conversation he had with Sherman about 1885 on the subject, in which sherman denied ever having signaled such a message. He said that he had ordered by cou- rier, Corse to go to Altoona, and de- fend the fort if attacked. His cou- rier not returning he became anxi- ous to know if Corse had received his orders. and caused to be waved from the top of the mountain. a signal ask ing where Corse was. The reply was that Corse was then in the fort. That was all there was in the whole thing. But out of very little things great romances are often constructed.

WHEN ICE SCARED IN PRICE.
In September. 1898. It Rose SIS a
 Ton in a Single Day.

Early in September, eight years ago, during single day the whole sale price of ice in New York city advanced from $3 a ton until $21 a ton was being offered before the close of the day. The day before ice sold at $3 and the day after 1t could be bought all over the city at $3 ton, wholesale. The Ice Trade Jouranl says that in the case mentioned the price was not advanced by the whole salers, but by buyers and consumers who were travelling around from one plant or depot to another and offer ing prices higher and higher for a portion of the ice which many of the wholesalers were endeavoring to hold in reserve to supply the wants of their regular customers until fresh supply of ice could reach the city.
 This could hardly be called an ice famine, but ice was terribly scarce for a portion of one day only. An ex- tra supply was on the way to New York, and there had ben no perman- ent advance In price by the whole salers. It was generally known that plenty of ice could be had on the morrow at 8 a ton. but many retail CTS were willing to pay all sorts of fancy prices, even up to $21 a ton. rather than have their customers go entirely without ice.
 The consumers gladly paid the ad- vance, for the day was very hot and many had been entirely without ic for a large part of the time. 1t being Monday, and no Ice had been served since Saturday. In the scramble to get ice anywhere. anyhow. the price was a secondary consideration.
 At present the supply of ice in most of the large cities is disappearing SO rapidly that eveh by maintaining rates considerably higher than those now charged 1t does not seem likely that Ice famines in September can be averted. Those who early prophe- sled sIO Ice in New York at the bridges before the close of the season may not be far wrong.
