Coal Dealers Angry.

Toledo, O., Sept. 1.-The new regu-
lations adopted by the Toledo Car Ser
vice association went into effect to-
day, notwithstanding the protests of
the coal dealers of this city. Accord
ing to the new rule the coal dealers
are allowed only "a hours after notice
is served on them of the arrival of a
car in Toledo to order the switching
of the same and only 4S hours in which
to unload it. Failing to comply with
this ruling, the coal dealers will be
obliged to pay a fine of 81 a day as
demurrage charge on each car. The
coal dealers consider this new arrange
ment a hardship and have taken their
spite out on the consumers by raising
the price of coal.

SWIMMING TANK ALMOST CERTAIN
Pool for Aquatic Diversions Will be
Transformed Out of the Present
Reservoir at City Park.

A public swimming tank for Walla
Walla may be reality by next sum-
mer. A plan has been suggested by
H. H. Turner to the Commercial club
which would make this very desirable
addition to the attractions of the Gar
den city possible with but a small
outlay. Mr.. Turner wishes the club
to ask the city council to set apart the
reservoir on the city park for this
purpose as soon as the new water
system shall be in working order.
When this time comes this large
water tank will be no longer nee
essary.
Attention is called to the fact that
the reservoir is already rooted ana
pipes lead in and out so that the
only expense that would be necessary
to make Walla Walla paradise in the
summer months as we'll as the rest Oh
the wear would be to concrete the sizes
and bottom Of the big hole
1t is pointed out that the location IS
ideal because it is already on CITY
property while the park would natur-
ally be the place for such swimming
pool.
The liberal patronage with which
the opening Of the Whitman college
swimming tank the past two summers
has been greeted Is evidence OF 'h0
popularity which such an undertahihe
would be greeted by the men OF war

Crack Shots.

Three old hunters were speaking of

A Photographic Experiment.


A Stockport poultry farmer has had
great trouble of late because his hens
were not producing the proper number
of eggs. A nearby neighbOr has a
fine flock of hens which were working
overtime to produce eggs.
While hanging over the back fence
listening to the triumphant cackle of
his neighbors hens an idea struck the
luckless owner of the hens.
He went into the house and brought
out his photograph, inserted a blank
record and succeeded in getting a fine
imitation of the cackling of the lay
ing hens. He then installed the phono-
graph in his own henhouse and started
it going.
The first day the hens We're greatly
amazed, but the second day they got
down to business and ground out an
egg every time the photograph cacl,led
The hens have stopped cackling
themselves, however, and when the
monograph stops they stop laying, and
the originator of the idea has to sit
in his coop all day long to keep the
monograph going.-Hudson (New
York; Register.

How This Farmer Prospers.
Albany Democrat.

There is a farmer down near Salem
who has a genuine diversified farm.
He has seven acres of walnuts, Is
acres Of hops, an acre of grapes, over
so stands of bees, five acres Of Italian
prunes, a quarter of an acre of Lo-
gan berries, ten acres of potatoes, be-
sides several acres Of hay, gardening,
etc. The farmer and his boys are
said to be prospecting. How could
they help it with such a diversity of
things to depend upon. Any farmer
can prosper who goes at it in the right
way, not only prosper moderately, but
become rich in this worlds goods. But
it takes rustic, work, push and in
telligence.

absurdity was privately acknowledged
by those who were his most loyal
supporters in 1896; to his theoretical
attitude toward what he called i'm
perialism, and to his argumentative
position as regards the trusts. 1t has
not Mr.. Bryan's method to proceed
against the trusts by learning all about
them, but to avoid their communicating
influence while he crushed them with
syllogism.
One of his conclusions, cabled re-
Gently, amounted almost to a "silly"-
gism. 1t was that it was as impos-
sible to regulate trusts as to regu-
late burglary, says the Minneapolis
Journal. To accept Mr.. Bryan's con-
clusion, it is necessary to also accept
an analogy which was palpably false.
In is quite probable that in this in
stance Mr.. Bryan was led away by
the chance of saying something smart.
But his other and more ponderous
utterance, mo question is ever set

abstractly correct is practically false.
Most things in this world are settled
by compromise, and as compromise
consists in, yielding Of convictions of
truth to expediency, it can never &c

should cling to this saying as tho

would be one Of the most mischievous
presidents the country ever had.

Won Mugge, who is an old man now
and has been in this country 80 years
has an interesting history. In his
young days he was a cadet at the
German naval academy in Hanover.
One day he quarrelled with a superior
officer and fought a duel with him.
The result was that his stern father
cast him out. With only a few marks
in his pocket the young man landed
in New York, fell into the hands of
sharpers and found himself penniless,
unable to speak the language of the
country and completely stranded. He
made his way to Fortress Monroe and
six months later to Cincinnati. In the
meantime he had learned the English
language and after a while obtained
an appointment as marshal. Governor
Mckinley appointed him to a state
marshalship. Since that time Won
Mugge has held various positions as
marshal, secret service detective and
special policeman in various cities
His mother and other relatives in the

doings in America and his mother was
so delighted over his brave course,
that she left will, stating that, after
fifteen years of honorable employ
ment in America her son should be-
come the heir of her extensive es-
tates in Saxony. The fifteen years
delay his departure for Saxony any
longer than necessary, as he is anx-

White HOUSE CLEANED UP.
Executive Mansion Undergoes Exten.
sive Improvements.


WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-President
Roosevelt and his family will return
to Washington to a practically new
White House, as the executive man.
sion has been renovated throughout
since the departure of the president.
Congress was LIBERAL and provided
ample means for putting the residence
of the chief executive in first-class
condition.
Since the president left here early in
July, the White House has been in
charge of painters, plasterers, plumb
ers and other mechanics, who have
been placing it in first-class condition
A new roof has been placed on the
colorado by which guests enter the
White House from the east, and other
extensive improvements have been
made.
W nile these outward improvements
have been accomplished, the east room
blue, green and red parlors have not
been neglected. 1t was deemed es-
sential, in renewing the decorations
of these rooms that care should be
exercised to prevent hostile criticism
by visitors at the White House.

FERGUS FALLS. MINI, Sept. l.
Peter Kanti. a Finlander residing in
the town Of Deer Creek, received prob.
ably fatal injuries at the hands of
Henry Mork and John Hakkila. his
neighbors.
The two men had been drinking.
and went to Kanti's home where thew
were Hospitality received and treated
to coffee. They added some whisky to
the coffee, and after drinking a guam
tity of the mixture, began discussing
their relative strength. Mr.. KANT.
who is rather an elderly man, stated
that he was something of an athlete
in his younger days in Finland, and
was by no means a weakling yet The
discussion became animated and a.
scuff1e followed.
Kanti was knocked down and the
two men are alleged to have kicked
and otherwise abused him until his
body and head were one mass of cuts
and bruises. His wife interferred and
was also injured
A physician was summoned and is
doubtful as to whether Kanti will re-
cover. Sheriff Albertson went to Deer
Creek and arrested MOrk and Hakkila
and they are being held without bail
to await developments.

REMOVE THE CURTAINS.

No further delay should be tolerat-
ed In throwing wide open to the pub
| lie the affairs Of the pipe line. 1t is
time the people were given an oppor-
tunity 20 learn just where the money
has gone and how much OF 1t has
been spent honestly and economically.
| A further postponement only affords
those concerned in SO doing greater
opportunity for covering up any dis
crepancies that may exist.
Discussion of the expense accounts
and the administration of the water
funds in secret meetings of the city
council do not satisfy the taxpayers,
nor appeal to their sense of justice.
What is demanded is a wide open,
fair and unbiased examination of the
books and accounts and a public ex-
hibition of the payrolls.
The Statesman does not believe the
people will accept any half-hearted
investigation, or favor the continued
practice of petty larceny politics de-
signed to cover up the real facts.
That there has been grating done on
the pipe line is the unprejudiced be-
lief of the majority who have taken
an interest in the matter. 1t behooves
the members of the city council to al
lay suspicion by wide publicity of the
administration, or publicly disprove
the rumored accusations of misman-
agement, and graft.
The members of the council and
the water committee cannot deny
that excessive salaries and superflu-
Gus help have swelled the expense of
building a costly system. This has
aroused suspicion. To further con-
done reckless extravaganza by shut
ting out the public and running star
chamber sessions is but to increase
the belief that necessity exists for
arranging the protection Of those re-
sponsible for such conditions.
1t is not when all is over and it is
too late to apply the pruning knife,
or to correct the evils alleged to ex-
ist that the people desire action. 1t
is NOW-when there is still an OPP
portunity to protect to some degree
the interests of those who bear the
expense and are called upon to make
good the deficits of extravaganza and
graft that public knowledge Of ex
listing conditions should be permitted.
Further evasions-even counter at
tacks-may be expected. They will
only be in keeping with what has
gone before. 1t is the province of
Mayor Kellough to demand an open
discussion of the water supply ad
ministration. He knows enough per-
sonally. 1t is the opportunity for
him to make good at the next coun-
Gil meeting.
Do away with the secret meetings
and place the whole investigation in
the broad glare of publicity. Then
forestall the subterfuges which have
so successfully prevailed.

THE MAN WITH THE SHOVEL

I'VE sold in 1906" says a Boston
manufacturer $4,000 dozen shovels
and delivered them to railroads, min
ing companies and other large users.
One might think SO many shovels
would be enough for a time, but this
year our sales will amount to 1000
dozen or a little less than 5000,0 900
shOvels.'
Every phase of activity entering
into the unbounded prosperity of the
country has been commented upon I'M
til it would seem that there is no fea-
ture entirely new, yet the production
of shovels, certainly a fine index, has
not been much thought about.
Five million shovels must mean
great labor in improvement and pre-
,aration for new railroad and other
building, and much new wealth taken
out of the earth Monetary records,
new SnOWlngS In imports ana exports,
manufacturing totals not before reach
ed and new high bank clearings have
all been considered as representatives
of the prosperity now enjoyed, yet
nothing could be SO truly significant
as the illustration here afforded.
This is the year of the man with
the shovel. Nothing more basic
could be found, and an apt and ex-
pressive name for the period would be
the year of the 100000 shovels.
