M. H. Paxton, who was largely in
strumental in raising the previous

spoke on the question of raising more
by private subscription. He dwelt
plan in that those who could we'll af-
ford to pay often did not pay and
those who could ill afford gave the
most and suggested an apportionment
by amount of land owned, or some-
thing of that sort. 1.-THE boats ought

No River Warehouses.
F. S. Dement, spoke of the need of
assurance of benefit before people
could be made to contribute. So far
the rates had not been changed for
Walla Walla. There were no ware
houses along the river and people
were reluctant to let their grain stay
in the open along the banks of the
river. In places the association had
only made difference of one-ouarter
of cent in freight rate to Portland
and this is not enough. 1t would be
hard to get people interested without
some direct benefit could be seen.
Miles c. Moore formerly a director
on the o. r. & n, lit into the rail-
roads in good shape saying, "the peo-
pie would realize that only water
competition could regulate freight
rates; that no community was free
from railroad domination that did not
have a water outlet"
Trolley Lines Needed.
Walla Walla could not get this with
out trolley lines which would reach
to the river. The boats now could
only draw from a narrow margin along
the banks of the river.
He spoke of the proposed trolley
line from Dayton to Wallula which
had been surveyed and pronounced
feasible by the higest grade engi-
ners, but lacked capital to build it.
1.-The people ought to own this line,
he said. 1--WE expect to give them ar

said, have declined to furnish the liv-

ficer can take the alternative Of sleep
ing on the floor or supplying his own
furniture, unless Sheriff Painter sees
fit to let the county use his property.
The action of the commissioners
yesterday in looping off Jailer Berry's
salary SO a month because he refused
to fire the furnace in the new Jail, has
aroused considerable indignation
among Berry's friends. The commits
sioners show no inclination to revoke
the order made yesterday and Janitor
Wynans will attend to the furnace in
the new Jail at an increase of SO a
month in his salary.
An effort will probably be made to

he is so inclined.
Point Raised Before.
similar point arose when the or

for an opinion as to the legality or
the ordinance. He spent nearly an

morning, searching for the opinion but
it had been milsaid and could not

There are only two questions to

Blandford this morning. "Firss.

Second, whether a councilman, who

WHAT MAKES TIDES
 AND EARTHQUAKES
A New Theory, Less Than a Month
 Old.

Eugene Brady O'NeilI has just re- ceived letter and circular from an old friend. l. P. Noyes, Washington, D. C., in which he disposes of the problems of tides and volcanoes. MT. Moves says that he had never been satisfied with the long accepted theory regarding the tides. That the moon had anything to do with the matter he had utterly flouted but until April of this year he had been unable to think of any better theory, when sud denly one ccma to him.
 His idea IS this: On account of the superior adhesiveness of the land over that of the water. the latter in the re- volution of the earth had a tendency to fall behind the land. Thus the water is banked up upon itself Intil dam, so to speak is formed in mid ocean and the water is hurled hack in volume and with a velocity which throws it high upon the land. This is called the flow tide. There is a natural and consequent recession when the impetus has been lost and that is the ''ebb." This is the theory as to west coasts. On the east coasts the process is reversed, the water be- ing first banked upon the land until it reaches a height from which it rolls back into the sea until it is stopped by
 an ocean dam. These movements would naturally take place at regular intervals.
 MT. Moves accounts for the tides of north and south coasts by the fact | that while they are north and south coasts the coast lines are always so irregular that there is always more or less of east and west coasts to eaten the waves.
 Tidal waves tn mid ocean are ac- counted for by the presence of a low barometer which interferes with the ma . tural movement of the water causing it 10 back up.
 Volcanoes, Mir Moves believes to be caused by the explosions of natural gases and oils which are generated in ! the pockets of the interior of the earth which he believes to be porous and , cave-like. The porosity of mountains is greater than that of any other part of the earth's surface hence the gases flnd their way out through the noun tain tops. If he says holes were bored deep ino the earth in the vicinity of volcanoes, the gases might be drawn off to the use of man instead of t1 his destruction when they are allowed to accumulate until they burst forth m tho form of an eruption.
 Mir. Moves entire attention has not been given to scientific matters He has turned the Psalms into rhyme and he is now engaged in remodeling
 'EVangeline" so that t will rhyme and be in his opinion more readable

IN A RAMS STOMACH.
That's Where Colorado Mar Got His
 Rubber Idea.


 America will be raising its own sup ply of rubber within decade and all because an aristocratic sheep that had wandered too far from home came up on the wrong dict end died
 If he had been common. ordinary pasture sheep ha wouldn't have gut sick. or if he had. nobody would have cared enough to investigate
 man out in tEe Durango. Col. dis trict imported a $500 ram The rar, was a beautiful brute. but becam homesick and pined away. After q while he died, and as he had been a high class sheep an autopsy was held. It developed that the stomach was filled with rubber and with a certain weed that grows in great abundance In that region. The weed was there in all stages of attempted digestion. The gastric processes had seemingly been converting it into hunks of rub Der, and these had formed into a mass in the stomach
 At once eighteen ton of the indigesl- ible weed were gathered. boiled down. treated to d process as nearly as pos sible similar to that of digestion in the stomach of a sheep-and To, there were some hundreds of pounds of as fine lubDeI as ever was brought by naked heather from the wilderness of the up per Amazon.
 4 corporation was formed to culti- vate the rubber weed and to make rub Der from it. The process has been de- velOped to the point where it Is re- garded as aa assured success.
 Yesterday. on a long table in the biz east cOrrider of the house was an ex- hibit of this American rubber. A man who was in charge of it recited the pathetic tale of the sheep and explain ed that his samples were all made from this Colorado rubber. He had select ions of garden hose. packings. solid rubber heels for shoes. and other arti Q cles of manufactured rubber. Speci- mems of tthe weed were also shown.
 What We want" explained the man. "is a chance to develop this discovery. To that end We have organized com pany, and arc seeking the cession of $500 acres of land out there where the weed is indigenous The department of agriculture is greatly distressed; it be- lieves the discovery is one of the most notable ever made in American agri culture. If we are permitted to use this land. we will proceed. in cooperd- ton with the department Immediately

CIViLIZING ALASKA,

It seems as strange and surprising to read about railroads in Alaska as about railroads in Japan. As a mat ter of fact. forty-five miles of railroad have already been built by the Alaska Central railway in the Shunhutna val ley. The starting point is the town of Seward on Resurrection bay. west of Prince William sound. The projected length of the 1tUe Is aE1ur four h,u- dred miles. the proposed northern ter minus being the mining town of Fair banks, near the head of navigation on the Tana1a river. the principal south ern tributary of the Yukon It is said that coal fields have been discovered about hundred miles beyond the present northern terminus of the road and that the quality of the coal is pro- nounced excellent by members of the geological survey. The Alaska Central is not the only railroad which has re- quested congress to put the stamp Of its approval on the enterprise by guar anteeing the payment of interest An other claimant for government aid is the Alaska Railroad company which proposes to construct a railroad through the Copper river valley. The Copper river flows into the Gulf of Alaska a short distance east of Prince
