Cars have been ordered to move this
shipment as rapidly as it can be load
ed. and this, it is thought, will relieve
the situation in Walla Walla and
vicinity.
Mr.. Burns says that while it is true
cars are being sent westward empty it
is also true that none of the cars pass
ing Pendleton were needed or had
been ordered for fuel shipments east
OF here. The company has an enor-
nous lumber and coast trade and all
cars not needed elsewhere are sent
westward as rapidly as possible.
He feels sure that fuel to relieve the
situation here will be shipped if it can
be loaded at the shipping points and
that within few days there will be
plenty Of all kinds of fuel to supply
the trade.

partment of the o. R. & N, is now in
Wyoming making personal investi-
cation of the coal situation there,
and will report at once to General
Freight Agent r. B. Miller on the
situation in the coal mines of that
state. 1t is still contended by the
railroads that the coal companies can
not load cars fast enough for the
trade.

SINGLE TAX IS A SUCCESS
The Dream of Henry George Becomes
a Reality in Alabama.

The dream of Henly George as set
forth in Progress and Poverty" has
become reality. There is actually a
single tax colony, the only one in the
world, that is rapidly becoming
thriving and important community.
Two hundred acres of land were Sc.
cured some time ago by ardent single
tax advocates in Baldwin county, Ala
bama, and there, on beautiful bluff
overlooking Mobile Bay, the pretty
village of Fai1hope was founded.
1t has developed into one of the most
prosperous settlements of the state.
The population of Fairhope is now
between 500 and 700. There are more
than 100 dwellings, three general
stores, drygoods and millinery store,
a fine hotel, two drug stores, meat
market, bakery, several mills, livery
stable, printing Office, several shops
occupied by various trades, neat
church, town hall and lodges for be-
nevolent or fraternal organizations.
The association owns, free of in
cumbance. nearly 1900 acres of land.
1t also owns Ia wharf which extends
1900 feet into the bay. The steamer
Fairhope keeps the townfolk in touch
with Mobile, city of $4,000 Is miles
across the bay, and the trip is made in
an hour and half.

in Iowa. In Minnesota Governor
Johnson, democrat, was reelected by
the largest majority ever given a
democrat in the state.
Nebraska shows big republican
gains. Ohio also shows spublican
gains over the Pattison vote of last
year. The republicans expect plur-
atty of $4,000 in the state.
The constitution of the new state of
Oklahoma will be written by demo-
Gratis. The Indians voted the demo-
cratic ticket almost solidly. Oklaho-
ma also went democratic strongly in
choosing delegates to the constitution
al convention.
Governor Hoch is probably reelect-
ed Ill Kansas by greatly reduced
majority.
The result in Missouri was in doubt
at late hour. The democrats re-
gained some of the congressional dis
tricts they lost two years ago.
Congressman Nicholas Longworth
was reelected in Cincinnati.
Congressman J. W. Wadsworth, for
many years chairman of the house
committee on agriculture at Washing
ton, was defeated in the thirty fourth
New York district
The republicans carried Utah,
Wyoming and Washington and seem
to have lost Nevada, while 10th par
ties are claiming Colorado.
Montana seems to have been carried
by republicans and Texas takes its
usual place in the democratic column.
Congressman Babcock of Wisconsin,
formerly chairman Of the republican
congressional committee, failed of elec-
tion.
In Rhode Island James K. Higgins,
democrat, was elected governor.
Joint statehood for New Mexico and
Arizona is defeated in Arizona, which
defeats the proposition.
Over in Washington
It's a republican landslide over in
Washington, with counties going from
200 to 5000 for republican congress
men and supreme judges.
Complete returns from all precincts
in Walla Walla county with the ex-
ception of exact figures from lower
Touchet, gives republican congressman
and supreme judges majority of
about 900. The legislative ticket in
the Thirteenth district is republican
by about 500, while Weber, republi-
can, is elected in the Twelfth district
by 400. The socialists polled less
than 100 in the entire county. Harvi-
lands majority for sheriff is the larg-
est on the county ticket, about 500,
while Rupp, prosecuting attorney, has
400; McCaw, republican, auditor, rs;
Honeycutt, democrat, treasurer, $50;
Toner, democrat. assessor, 325; Huff
man, Justice of peace, republican,
245. Less votes were cast in the city
of Walla Walla than at the republi-
can primaries.
Gooding Is Reelected.
Returns confirm the estimates made
that Gooding, the republican candi-
date for governor of Idaho, is reflect
ed. He has carried the state by a ma
jority of somewhat more than 1000.
The rest of the state ticket has ma
jority of probably 5000 more. with
one exception, the candidate for secre-
tary of state, who was cut consider
ably. Definite returns show the re-
publicans have IS out of 81 membe
of the state senate and 30 out of the 81
members in the house, majority of
"a on joint ballot. Several members
are in doubt.

Concerning Profits in Beet Sugar.

4 circular sent out by the Cont

that the cost OF running a Goo per
day sugar plant. running 100 days and
reducing "a, 600 tons OF beets, is $475,

and all expenses, including 100000

cost of the beets when reduced to

vi, Id, I,,,eoo,ooo pounds OF sugar, is.
computed at ~ cents per pound.

Commenting aupon this statement,
a writer in Goodwin Weekly says:
"This statement is made ior the
state OF Michigan. where the yield
OF beets does not exceed ten tons per
acre and Il perctnl sugar. The
account says: In the irrigated sec
tions of the West the result is much
more satisfactory, the tonnage being

WHAT KIND OF A BATTLE SHALL
1T BE?

Voters, it is for you to decide in
your caucuses and conventions wheth-
err the election this fall shall be
sham battle, or a real contest between
the taxpayers and freight payers on
one side and the agents of the Hill,
Hartman and Rockefeller combine on
the other. Nebraska is a railroad rid
den state. Our people pay at least
ten million dollars in railroad extor
ton annually. The railroads, eleva-
tors and lumber dealers in combina-
ton have their hands in the pockets
of the people up to the elbows. The
profits of the combine are fabulous,
and approximately thirty millions in
extortion are annually wrung from
the people. That those in the CON-
bine will fight for the privileges that
they enjoy is to be expected. That
the powers of cunning and knavery
will be exhausted in their efforts to
retain their grip upon the govern
ment of the state, in order to continue
their plumber is in line with the ex-
perience of mankind in all former
struggles against oppression.
Human nature is the same now that
it has always been. There is no evi
dence of a change in the nature OF
man from the beginning, and no in
dication of a change in the future
1t is the same elements in the nature
of man that sustains the Car of all
the Russias and the small coterie
that upholds the Russian throne that
animates the industrial despotism OF
America, namely the lust of power
and the greed of gain. The Russians
are making the fight now that oul
forefathers made centuries ago. The
heart of man has not changed, but
enlightenment has brought about
changed conditions in portions of the
earth. In Russia brutal savagery
reigns, the right of might. We have
passed into the higher realm of thu
savagery of intellectual cunning. Th'
Russian can win his own only by shed
ding rivers of human blood. We cal
win our own by the free and untram
melled exercise of intelligence in GU

railroads and are against the people
in their efforts for relief from railroad
extortion. The great majority of the
voters of both parties receive no
passes or other favors from the rail-
roads. They are the victims of dis
elimination and extortion, they pay
the running expenses of the railroads,
the profits of the owners and the fares
of those who ride free. Therefore,
when the railroad question is an issue
it behooves the voters of all parties
to see to it that pass holders do not
control their caucuses or conventions.
The free railroad pass is distinctively
a railroad political bride, and is most
potent instrumentality in the control
of the caucuses and conventions of
political parties.
The reason why The Independent
is so insistent that George w. Berge
is the best candidate that can be
for the governorship this year is, first,
because he is the equal of any man
in the party or in the state in point
of character ond ability, and next, be-
cause he is not only sound to the core
on the railroad question, but is sound
on all other questions and is known
and recognized by the people of the
state as an uncompromising foe of
railroad government and railroad ex-
tortion.
| He is available as a candidate for
many reasons, the chief among which
| is that his name is synonymous with
| the peoples fight against railroad gov
eminent in the state, the question up
on which the election must turn And,
| because he is so known and
recognized he will receive thousands
of votes from men who have never,
been identified with either the demo
cratic or the populist parties in the
state. He is sure of the pOpulist vote
because that party had its genesis in
the determination of the people of
the state to secure relief from rail
road extortion, and he will command
the vote of every honest democrat
1t is because we believe that his NOM
nation will be the forerunner of vic
tory for the tax payers and producers
of the state that The Independent
urges his nomination.
No good reason has been urged
against his nomination by those who
oppose it because no reason can be
given that is level with the interests
of the voters. The most charitable
construction that can be put upon the
opposition to his nomination is the
ambition of others to secure the nom
nation for themselves, or for a per-
4 sonal friend. However good a reason
that may seem to be to those who are
aspirants for the nomination it is
not a good reason for the voters. Am
bition blinds men. Mr.. Berge is so
distinctively recognized above all 9TH
ers as the foe of railroad government
and railroad extortion that the demo
