BEGIN ON ELECTRIC LINE.
Twenty Men Now at Work on Walli
Walla's Street Car System.

About 20 men, under the charge of
Superintendent Lawton, began work
this morning on the construction of
the electric street railway line of the
Walla Walla Traction company, says
the Walla Walla Bulletin. The first
work was taken up at the intersec-
ton of Palouse street and Boyer ave-
nue., where the first dirt for the
roadbed was removed.
The line was surveyed up Boyer
avenue yesterday afternoon and this
morning the men with picks and
shovels followed the grade stakes up
the street toward Whitman college.
AS soon as the grading is completed
the rails will be laid and the roadbed
ballasted.
1t is the intention If the weather
does not prevent to have one and a
half miles of the road completed and
In operation by April 80.

DIR. Ward an Educator.
Idaho State Tribune }


The growth of the medical profess
sion to the skill of today could not be
better understood than by talk with
DR.. Ward at his quarters at the Car
ter hotel. The doctor who is the
chief of staff and western representa-
tive of one of the greatest surgical
institutes of the world, located at
Charlottesville, Indiana, is an educa-
tor in his quiet chats.
A newspaper preventative who
met the doctor in Colorado visited his
apartments Monday and was taken
through by the doctor. The latter
explained the growth of medicine.
How, by accidents and other means,
some of the most valuable medical
aids were discovered.
The doctor took the reporter into
his surgical laboratory where he
showed his instruments, trunk after
trunk of the most valuable instru-
ments known to the profession, rep
resenting in all an expenditure of
$4,000. 1t took years of constant
study and practice for the doctor to
perform hundreds and thousands of
operations that it is impossible for
other physicians to do.
One of the most interesting of the
number is lamp, small electric
globe, which the doctor uses to light

TAN INHERITANCES.
Washington Supreme Court .Upholds
Inheritance Tax Law.

The Walla Walla Bulletin says Of
the supreme court decision upholding
the inheritance tax law in that state:
Taxation of inheritances by will is
held to be legal in decision rendered
by the state supreme court yesterday
in a case appealed from King county.
The decision sets at rest all constitu-
tional questions which have been rails
ed against the act, and makes certain
a large income to the state by reason
of the law of 1901, creating the state
tax commission. Lawyers declare that
no ground now remains on which an
attack against the constitutionality of
the statute can be successfully carried
on.
The case appealed concerned the
estate of and heirs of the late Will
liam Wellington White, who died last
fall In Oakland, Cal, leaving 100000
in Seattle property.
The state tax commission assessed
the lawful tax against the estate under
the act creating the commission. The
executors of the estate fought the as
sessment, attacking the constitutions
ality of the act The claim was made
that the title of the act did not cove
inheritances by will and therefore wa
invalid.
The supreme court sustained the de
cision of the supreme court rendering
a decision against the executors of th
estate. The amount involved in thu
case was less than $1,000, it is stated
but the principle of the act being up
held will operate to bring a large rev
enue to the state treasury from th'
state at large.
In prior suits brought to defeat tn
state tax commission law the supreme
court has decided in favor of the stat
ute and lawyers state that nothing car
now prevent the full operation of tn
law.
