KNOW
HOLDUP ARTIST
Corbett Griggs Gives Captain Davis
Valuable Information.
HE TELLS OF BURGLAR|ES
Young Man Ordered Committed
To Reform School By
Judge Brents.
HE TELLS OF BURGLAR|Es

Through close questioning of Corbett
Griggs, the 15-year- old boy arrested a
week ago on a charge of burglarizing
the Ganders bicycle store Captain
Mike Davis this morning learned the
identity of the holdup artists who oper-
ated so extensively in the residence
district last month. The name furnish
ed by young Griggs Is being withheld
by the police and an effort will be
made to locate the man and return him
to Walla Walla for trial The officers
believe that he is still in the state and
will eventually be captured.
During a heart to heart talk with
Captain Davis in Sheriff Painters Of
flee this morning Griggs divulged con-
siderable information regarding the
numerous robberies committed the last
two months around Walla Walla.
Griggs knew who robbed the Tallman
drug store, the Walker shooting gall
lery and the Walla Walla Steam Laun-
dry and also the name of the man who
held up and robbed Vernon Walker Of
$40 at the corner of Willow and Sew
enth streets six weeks ago. A young
man named Waldron was implicated
with Griggs in robbing the Ganders
bicycle store and also had a hand in
robbing the Tallman drug store and the
laundry. Griggs denied that he had a
hand in these burglaries; although ne
knew that Waldron was the leader of
the gang of young criminals. Waldron
has left the country and his present
whereabouts is unknown, although he
is supposed to be in Alaska some
where.
Sent to Reform School.
Young Griggs was a pretty sober
faced young man when he faced Judge
Brents this afternoon and was ordered
committed to the reform school at Che
halls after telling the story of mis- mis-
deeds. The boys mother was present
in court and asked that her sons de-
parture to the reform school be de-
layed a few days as Mr. Griggs is
critically ill and she would like to have
the boy to visit his father before
being sent away. Mrs. Griggs did moi
attempt to shield her son and said She
hoped a sojourn in the reform schoo
would have a beneficial effect on him

Rights Of Way Secured.

The right of way committee has en-
now in the field securing the rights as
fast as possible. 1t was reported to-
day that he had practically secured
all the rights Of way from Dayton to
Prescott and a portion of those from
Prescott to Touchet. He was in Walla
Walla yesterday and interviewed
number of farmers residing along the
river and secured contracts for the
rights Of way.
Another man is to be sent out in a
few days to get rights of way from
Waitsburg to Walla Walla Applica-
ton will be made to the council of
Prescott for a right to use the streets
of tnat town and the Walla Walla city
council will also be asked for the same
privilege.
Two routes are being considered
from Dayton to Touchet. One is to
come down the Touchet river by the
way of Longs to Waitsburg and then
follow the river down to Touchet sta
ton. The other route is to leave the
Toucnet and follow down MILESTONE
Hollow, through Prescott and then
down the south bank of the Touchet to
the Walla Walla river, following that
stream to Wallula.

LIFE OF JAPANESE WORKMAN.

Comfortable Existence for q Family
ON Less than $S a Month.
The average monthly income Of the
Japanese workman is now something
less than So, says Eleanor Franklin,
In Leslie's Weekly. And this is a high
average. On this a japanese Of the
laboring class can keep family Of five
or six in comfort and cleanliness and
enjoy all the simple pleasures dear to
the Japanese heart. These pleasures
do not consist of feasting and drinking
to excess and going to places Of amuse-
ment, but are the pleasures afforded by
the peculiar and complete love of ma
ture In all her moods.
Flower gazing" Is the japanese ex-
preston, and flower gazing" costs
nothing to the family that Is willing to
tramp any number of miles to reach
some spot particularly beautifed by
luxuriant display of one Of the seasons
flowers, which, in their turn, fill every
year. On these expeditions, which we
would call picnics, the family takes Its
allowance of rice and tea, of fish and
small picked vegetables, and Its feast
Is only such as it usually enjoys at
home. The Japanese laborer works on
an average twenty-six days each month
and his hours are ordinarily from sun
to sun. He doesn't work as hard as
4 Kvr hn hn
accomplish as much In a given time,
not by any means; but he does his
work thoroughly, he Is efficient AS a
rule, and his pay has always been
sufficient for his needs.
He lives in a neat little house Of
two rooms, spotlessly clean and SIM
pie to absolute baroness. For this he
pays something like 81 a month, and,
thanks to the kindly climate of his
land, he knows nearly nothing about
tho expense of fuel. A little charcoal
for a tiny hibachi Is all he needs, and
his cooking can be done on this or on
n less ornamental one in wee bit of
an additional room called the kitchen.
His charcoal and light together cost
him less than $1.25 a month, and for
this he has all the fuel and light he
finds necessary. He knows nothing
about the string of rigid economy. Rice
costs him more than anything else.
He has to pay about SO for enough of
this commodity to keep his family a
month, and his only hardship really Is
that his income is not sufficient to pro-
vide for him the little luxuries Of diet
that his more fortunate brothers enjoy.
And he has his fish and vegetables, too,
each costing him little less than 81
month, ard after everything Is paid
for he still has enough left for tobacco,
hair cutting and shaving, for the hair
dressing of the women Of his family,
and for the daily hot bath in a neigh
boring public bath house that Is so
necessary to the welI-being of every
Japanese.
