as his father was breathing his last In
the family homestead in Manton
Charles H. Moore, a clerk employed In
New York City, died at st. Mary
hospital in New York as the result OF

know that his father was dying, neither
were his parents aware of the sons

GREETED WITH CHEERS
Spanish-American War Veterans
Make Splendid Showing In
the Parade

The principal event Of the Grand
Army encampment today was the big
parade that took place this morning. 1t
was one of the best displays that has
been made in Walla Walla for many
years and was viewed by thousands of
people who lined the sidewalks along
the line of march. Every old veteran
of the civil war for miles around was
there and marched in the procession
with the same enthusiasm and pride
as he did when he enlisted to fight
for the honor of his country. Men rep
resenting regiments from every state
in the union was in line and as they
passed along the streets they were
chered and applauded by the specta-

Dowie's Rule Was Absolute.

CHICAGO, June 26.-That Dowie
exercised control over even the mar
riages of members of the Christian
Catholic church was declared by Dea-

Dowie would not permit any zion

as he wished to prevent contamination
by marriage with outside sinners.

Many Shippers Are Inter-
ested Spectators
0. R. & n. FILES ANSWER
Alleges Act Creating Railway
Commission Uncon-
stitu:ional

That the railroad companies in the
state of Washington operating lines
into Walla Walla could grant 10 the
local pobbers a distributing rate equal
with that given Spokane jobbers with
out materially affecting the net earn
ings based on distance tariffs, was the
principal point brought out at the
hearing this morning. This fact was
ELECTED through the testimony given
by o. c. Calderhead, statistician Of the
board, who occupied the stand during
the entire morning session and who
was still on the stand this afternoon.
BY referring to the annual report OF
the Northern Pacific, Mr. Calderhead
showed that the railroad company had
raeceived on an average an earning of
S79 mills per mile on freight carried
on is lines in this state. 1t was also
shown that the distributing rate asked
for by the Walla Walla jobbers was
not such that it would reduce to any
great extent the earning capacity of
the road.
When the commission met this
morning in the old United States court
room in the Jones building the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company
through its general attorney, W. w.
Cotton, filed an answer to the COM
plant brought at the instance of the
Walla Walla jObbers. The document
is long, teeming with legal phrases and
goes into every detail of the complaint.
The most important part of the answer
was the assertion that the law creating
the commission is unconstitutional i'm
that the legislature had no right to
delegate to the commission the power
to fix railroad rates, as the constitution
of the state provides that such mat
ters should be handled directly by the
legislative body of the state.
The Great Northern. Northern Paci-
fic and the Washington & Columbia
River railway companies had not pre-
pared their answers and they were
given until tomorrow morning to get
them ready. They will probably be
along the same lines as the answer Of
the Q. r. & N. company.
Evidence Of Discrimination.
During the morning session Statisti-
clan Calderhead gave evidence that in
many instances the railroad companies
were discriminating against the WalIa
rates. He cited several cases where
Spokane jobbers were given more ad-
vantageous rates on commodities to
points of an equal distance from that
city with those from Walla Walla.
1t was shown that the jobbers of
Portland and the Sound cities were
given better rates to interior points in
Eastern Washington than those given
to WaIa Walla jobbers. which entire
ly eliminated the Walla Walla dealers
from competing in the territory that
rightfulIy belong to them.
Ii is expected that the commission
viii be in session several days. as it is
the desire of the commission to secure
as much evidence as possible on the
subject.

North Dakotans Compete at the
Buttermakers' Chicago Convention

Chicago, Feb. 22.-"Creaniery over
run" always a mooted question among
dairynen, aroused a heated debate yes
sterday afternoon at the national cream
cry butter makers convention, accessory
TO the dairy show in the Coliseum. H
butter contains over 10 per cent oyerrull
or, in the language Of the laynati, more
than that proportion Of any material
aside from butterfat the butter may be
considered as adrlterated. according to
a statement made. by one authority at
the convention. Hardly had he made
the assertion, however, before a dozen
delegates were on their feet protesting.
An hour was consumed in outlining rea-
sons for greater proportion Of oyerrun
without intentionally defrauding the
consumer, but withoat convincing Prof.

had addressed the convention on the
subject.

simple enough, but dairynlen have not
