elevated in its place.
Climbed the Pole.
He united the knots which held the
barrel with his teeth as he hung on
for dear life at the top of the swaying
flag pole at Whitman campus.
1t is probable that this will be the
end of class scraps for this year at
least as the students as we'll as the
faculty are alarmed over the accident
to Oldright and the possibilities of
worse if the war is kept up. There
were a few other slight accidents IN
the melee last night but Oldright
was the only serious sufferer
Before coming down Oldright nailed
to the top of the pole the crimson
banner of 1910. He was so exhausted
when he reached the ground again
that he fell into the arms of his wait
ing comrade.
For two days the freshies have been
tainted with the barrel which the
sophies put on top of the pole but to-
day they are looking their fellow
students in the face again.
Ends the Scraps.
Little trouble was had with the
sopohmores last night. Four of them,
Tom butcher, Glenn Burroughs, Dom
aid Marvin and John Lyman, who
showed what was thought to be an
unnecessary amount of interest, were
captured and tied up until the flag
raising was finished then they were
released, upon giving their parole to
keep away from the pole.

SHOWS RISE IN REAL ESTATE
Offer by Denver Parties Of $4,000 for
Site of Waits Greenhouses is
Refused.

An indication Of the phenomenal
rise in realty values in Walla Wal
la the past Two years may be seen in
the refusal of James Wait, owner OF
Waits greenhouse, to accept $4,000
for his home place and green house
located on Pleasant street just east of
the city limits.
The tender of $4,000 was made by
Denver parties who were in Walla
Walla a few days ago seeking an in
vestment. Mr.. Wait figured that his
business and five acres of land, includ-
ing the improvements, were worth
$4,000 and declined the offer of
$4,000.
Mr.. Wait could not be seen this
morning. but Mrs. Wait at the flower
store in Second street, stated they had
refused SIS, 200 for their business. The
improvements include three green
houses, boiler and engine for irrigating
purposes, a six room residence and a
large amount Of stock.

Man Must Take \ Rest.

Two new and stringent laws to &C.
cure "a weekly day of rest" are up for
trial, one in France and a similar one
IN Canada. The principle in both is
the same, and contends that the state
may limit the hours of labor. The
French law is plainly in the interest of
the working classes, but preference is
given to. Sunday as the day of rest.
Substantially the act is as follows:
ment Of any kind whether public or pri-
vate. lay or religious. even of those for
education or benevolence, Is permitted to
work an employee more than six days q
week. The weekly period Of rest should
be twenty-four consecutive hours It
should be on Sunday. Wherever the
complete closing Of an establishment on
Sunday would be prejudicial to the in
terests Of the public the weekly rest
may be given for part or all Of the year
In one of the following ways: % On
some other day of the week for the
whole personnel Of the establishment; ca
from Sunday noon to Monday noon; 90
Sunday afternoon with compensatory
holiday by rotation every fortnight, or a.
by shifts in rotation of part or all the
employees. These exceptions can only be
made by direct authorization of the gov
eminent. The day of rest by rotation "a
Is permitted only to the following estab-
lishments: Hotels and restaurants. shops
for sale of tobacco and fresh flowers,
hospitals. asylums and drug stores, news
papers. baths, museums, theaters and IL
braries, waterworks. gasworks and pow
er plants, transportation other than rail-
MO la md tod <ns@ \
able material or products. In the case of
public works of an urgent nature such
as the prevention or repair Of accidents,
the weekly day of rest may be suspended
for the workman needed. Railroads and
steamships are provided for in another
law.
In Canada the new law has been
promoted by religious sentiment, and
its sweeping, stringent prohibitions re-
