NEW CARS COMPLETED.
Walla WaIla Street Car Line Now
Ready for Service.

The new street cars are daily eX-
pected by the Walla Walla Traction
company, says the Statesman. Word
has been received that the American
Car company has finished their part
of the construction and now all that
needs to be completed is the installa-
ton of the motors by the electric
company.
The cars were due according to con
tract many weeks ago. The company
is anxious to install the service as
soon as possible, but is helpless in
the matter.
Inability to get bridge timbers trans
ported has necessitated the construc-
ton Of a temporary bridg across the
Walla Walla river which will be a
clear loss to the company when the
permanent structure is put in.
Work Is progressing all along the
line and only the impossbility of
getting poles prevents the early COM
pletion of the line to Milton.

MONTANA SHEEP PRICES.
Young Ewes Are Worth Si.25 and
LiHnbs Sell at So.

That the profits in sheepraising
show no signs Of falling off in the i'm
mediate future is indicated by the
prices that are being paid on the To-
cal market this fall, says letter from
Big Timber. A careful investigation
here has brought out the fact that
good young breeding ewes are hard
to get at S4.25 per head, while ordi-
nary lambs sell readily at from $3.50
to SO, yearlings from $3.50 up, and
mutton sheep at most any price that
is asked.
The fact that cars for shipping are
almost impossible to get accounts in
part for the trading here being very
largely amongst home men, but that
the ranchers are buying sheep in large
quantities to run themselves, tends to
show that faith in the future of the
industry is strong in the minds of the
stockmen of this section.
A band of spring lambs raised by
Henry Nicholson of the Boulder,
which has been held in this vicinity
for the last few days, consists of what
are said to be the largest and finest
looking little woolies ever seen in the
county. They have lately been sold
for winter feeding, and when weighed
out at the stockyards tipped the scales
at an average of a little better than
80 pounds head and brought about
$3.50 each. the highest price on rec
ord, it is believed for lamb in the
fall.

WOOD PAVING is GOOD.
Government Finds Wood Blocks Are
Satisfactory.

When wood block pavement was
first introduced into this country
about 1900, as a pavement for streets
carrying heavy traffic, the United
States government was among the
very first to see its possibilities, says
a government bulletin.
Uncle Sam requires a good deal of
pavements from year to year in his
forts and navy yards. In the Brook
lyn navy yard there are several miles
Of well kept paved streets laid out
like a miniature city and carrying a
heavy trucking traffic. over these
streets loads Of immense weight are
sometimes taken, such as big plates
and ponderous implements which go
to the making of a warship.
A feature of the pavement which
appeals most to the interest of the
layman is the fact that it is very
quiet, and 1t is coming into common
use for such places as the neighbor-
hood of hospitals, schools, hotels and
office buildings or where the traffic
is heavy and noisy, or where the clat-
ter of vehicles affects large numbers
Of people. on a street where this
pavement Is used the heaviest traffic
cannot drown the voices of pedestri-
ans on the adjoining sidewalks, and
the ceaseless din so characteristic OF
our cities is noticeably absent.

Reprinted OFFICIAL Ballot.

The error which was made In the
official ballots for Yakima county
was also made In King and other
counties. The auditor of King coun-
ty stated yesterday that he would not
have them printed over, but later in
the day he was instructed by the at
torney generals office that the bal
lots would not be legal as he had
them, so he gave the order to have
the work done again. There are 90,-
900 to be reprinted in King county.
For Yakima county only $3.50 ballots
are being printed, so the expense will
not be great. The Republic office by
working night and day got the job
out the second time in season so that
the auditor could distribute them to
even the most remote precincts

Dog Meat IL Too High.

The number of dogs eaten in Prus-
sia in 1905 was 1868, according to the
Statistical Correspondence Magazine.
This publication contends that some
method must be found for providing
cheaper food for the poor, as the con-
sumption of dogs increased 80 per
cent last year. The number of horses
killed for food increased 10 per cent,
S1.S12 being slaughtered. The paper
advocates opening the frontiers to the
importation of foreign cattle.
