That the Southern Pacific means

the following account of its opera

Bridge work on the Drain Marsh

a long standing practice of beating
the county out of taxes by Walla
Walla saloon men was yesterday
brought to light, and the Walla Walla
county board of equalization, after
having secured information as to the
dishonest methods, raised the assess
ment of every saloon in Walla Walla
county from Is to 200 per cent.
BY agreeing among themselves to
give in stock and fixtures at a false
valuation, far below the actual value,
the saloons of that county have sys-
tematically cheated the county out of
thousands of dollars in taxes.
The walla Walla Statesman says OF
the matter:
Radical increases in the assessment
on stock and fixtures of nearly every
saloon in the county was decided upon
by the county board of equalization
this morning, following information
unearthed by the board yesterday eve-
ming that the saloonmen had a pri-
vate understanding between them
selves to put in the valuation on
liquor stocks and fixtures at as low
figure as possible without attract
ing the attention of the board to the

OBJECT LESSON ROAD.
Experimental Highway VIII Be Com
pIeted by State Fair

Progress is being made by the gov
ernment experts who are building the
mile object lesson road" near the
fair grounds says the Salem Journal.
This mile of road will be one of the
main attractions at the state fair, and
1t is probable that a portion OF the
road will not be entirely completed,
so as to show the various steps in the
construction of a macadamized road.
Yesterday 1886 cubic feet of crush
ed rock were laid, and 1850 feet of
road have been treated to the first
layer of rock and $50 feet have re-
ceived the three layers.
When the three layers of rock have
been laid, then it is that the work OF
binding the road begins. The big ten
ton roller is then sent over the road
until not crevice nor the smallest
hole can be detected in the surface of
the highway.

NEW KIND OF WHEAT.
Washington Grain Inspector Puzzled
to Know Classification.

According to Deputy State Grain
Inspector King, samples of new blue
stem wheat shipped from Walla
Walla to the inspectors office for
testing, contain a curious blend of red
and white kernels which appear ex-
actly the same except for their hue.
says the Walla Walla Statesman.
Deputy Inspector King is somewhat
puzzled over the new variety of
wheat and is to make a test of the
samples for the purpose of ascertain-
ing if the red kernels are as good as
the white. Farmers sending the sam
pies assert the red kernels are as good
if not better than the ordinary red
wheat.
The tests to be made are expected
to determine whether or not the wheat
is to be graded as blue stem. Inspec-
tor King saws the difficulty in grad
ing the wheat as blue stem, is that
growers of red wheat in other vicin-
tiles would clamor for the same grad
ing, while their wheat might be Of au
inferior quality.

A PEOPLE s LOBBY

At President Roosevelt's Suggestion
Peoples Lobby VIII BE Formed to

A movement is on foot in Washing

of what might he called a peoples
lobby" The idea is TO have the inter-
ests of reform locked after. Other
Interests" are well represented, but
nobody i'm particular is charged with
looking after the cause OF "decency"
and "honesty." What is everybody's
business is nobody's business. This
axiom applies no less to the national
welfare than IT does to other things
The idea of a peoples lobby Is to
have an organization-an office. with

what the other lobbyists are doing for

serve: to have man or men whose

keep track of these things. The peo-
pie want to know and would support

Publicity would do the rest.
Roosevelt's Idea.
The idea of a peoples lobby is said
to have originated with President
Roosevelt. 1t Is known. at least, that
a number of people have come from
recent interviews at the White House
full of the project. Whoever originat-
ed It, there Is no doubt that the presi-
dent approves cordially the plan and
will do everything in his power to aid
in carrying 1t out.
The idea itself is not entirely new
1t has been tried quite successfully
on a smaller scale in some cities and
has don can incalculable amount to-
ward the purifying of politics. The
great labor organizations, of the coun-
try have for years maintained lobby

Need of Publicity.

An inquiry among the presidents
friends and advisers shows that there
would be no lack Of publicity. There
are magazines and newspapers by the
score that would be very glad to throw
on the light.
President Roosevelt will be asked
to name the first committee of the
National Voters league, or peoples
lobby. Preferably the committee will
be made up of men who are not ac-
lively engaged in politics. Its MEM
bers would be expected to serve with
out compensation, and from purely
patriotic motives. The active man
ager. however, would be on annual
salary and would be expected to give
his entire attention to the work. The
league would employ good legal ad-
vice and each congressman's record
would be made the subject of a sep
arate record.
The cost of this work would have to
be met by voluntary subscriptions,
Many offers have already come to the
president to contribute, even before
the work has been officially launch
ed.

WOMAN SUES RAILROAD FOR $4,000
Peculiar Case Involving the Transpor.
tation Of Young Lady's Corpse. :.

Attorneys at Red Lake Falls have
commenced an action in the district
court of Red Lake county. for Mrs.
Jennie D. Beaulieu. of Cass Lake,
against the Great Northern railroad
for damages to the amount of $4,000.
The points raised are one that have
never before been passed upon by the
courts of this state and therefore will
be of considerable interest. The COM
plant recites that on the Goth day of
July, 1906, her daughter Elizabeth, at
the age of Is years and months, died
at Cass Lake, and that the body was
prepared and made ready for shipment
to White Earth for burial. That the
body was loaded upon the Great North
ern passenger train at Cass Lake with
instructions to be transferred to the
500 line at Erskine. That instead of
unloading the body at Erskine, it was
carried through to Crookston and az
result delayed the funeral for "a hours,
and caused the plaintiff great annoy
ance and damage. That by reson of
said negligent, wrongful and unlawful
acts upon the part of the Great North
ern, the plaintiff has been greatly dam
aged and outraged in her feelings and
has suffered great distress of mind and
great mental pain and anguish and has
become sick and nervous and will
continue to suffer great mental pain
and anguish in the future.
