The money so invested will not only
set to rest the contention that oil eX-

will give you your proportion of any
profits that accrue from the discov-

county, Montana, where the company
are now sinking a we'll.
We are down now to a depth of 1000

If we get a we'll in Montana the
money invested here will bring you
back large returns.
If we get a we'll at Walla Walla,
you will not only realize large
profit on the money so invested, but
you will have contributed toward an
enterprise that means the doubling
of the population of Walla Walla
within a short time and the conse-
quent enhancement of property
values.
You say, it seems too good to be
true. Oil has been discovered and pro-
ducing wells brought out in Montana,
Wyoming, California, Colorado, Brit
ish Columbia and other places west
Of the Rocky Mountains, why should
it not be here?

DLL.D.E.M who has visited this
district on two different occasions,
says, THAT surface indications are
not absolutely essential, since pro-

its presence existed, save the favor

LITTLE GIRL SHOT.
Serious Accident Occurred at Hover
A Few Days Ago.

A little Mcguire girl was shot and
seriously wounded by a bullet from
a 22-calibre rifle. The injured child
is about eleven years old, says the
Kenniwick Courier. She and another
girl were coming down the street and
passed a house where two boys about
her own age were playing with a rifle.
When the girls were just in front of
the house one of the boys said, ''See
me shoot that girl!' and drew up
the weapon which was discharged to
the amazement of the boy. The bullet
entered the body near the hip, passed
up and lodged near the spinal column
but has not been located nor removed
The wound will prove serious should
blood poisoning set in.

the grains being large and plump and
is not readily affected by drought. Mr..
Gales crop of this variety this year
averaged 40 bushels to the acre. It
is we'll adapted to the climate of this
section and is in great demand for

Gales has sold 600 bushels for seed

700 bushels still on hand. This wheat
carries a premium the same as that

1t was at this stage of the game

CAPTURE NEGRO AFTER
AN EXCITING CHASE
officer Donelson Pursues Man for Sew
eral Blocks In the Heart of
the City.

After an exciting chase last night which
covered several blocks in the heart OF the
city, George Smith, a negro, was captur-
ed by OFFICER Donelson and locked up in
the city Jail on a charge of larceny.
negro man approached Officer Donel-
son on Nineteenth street, near Third ave-
nue., and requested him to arrest Smith,
who was standing on the corner with
several women, for stealing his clothes
When the officer started in his direction,
however, Smith took to his heels, and
running up Nineteenth street, disappeared
in Second alley. Some negro men went
down to Eighteenth street to head him
off, while Officer Donelson went.up Nine
teenth street to First avenue and waited
there. In few minutes Smith arrived at
the corner. but started out afresh as soon
as he caught sight of the polceman's he'll
met, and ran down Nineteenth street to-
ward Second avenue. He turned quickly
there, and finding that the pursuit was
growing too warm to suit him, darted up
the stairs next to the Peerless saloon
and hid Officers Donelson. and Smoot
and Captain Eagin went upstairs in pur-
suit, and finally located his hiding place
and pulled him out.
A large crowd witnessed the chase and
many joined in to assist the officers, but
when the negro took refuge up the dark
stairway no one volunteered to go up
after him.

ting and offers several features that are
good Early and Late, clever team, have
been retained for this week and appear
in a new comedy sketch entitled, THE
woeful Wooer." They also sing num-
Der Of songs, assisted by their little girl,
a precocious child who is at home on the
stage Pearls Late sings an illustrated
song that wins applause.
The hoop rolling and Juggling of the
Rinaldos is most creditable in every way.
This team gives a performance that Is
clean brisk and interesting. Both dis
play marked skill. Expert hoop rolling is
no doubt one of the most entertaining
and graceful acts ever attempted in vau-
deville. The performance being given at
the Casino this week compares favorably
with the best.
Makita, the Japanese wrestler appeared
and issued a challenge through his man
ager to any one In the audience, offering
$25 TO any person who would hold him
for fifty minutes. A gentleman who said
ale was from Atlanta and In search OF
"easy money volunteered, but Malita
disposed of him in jiffy, For the remain
der of the week bouts have been ar
ranged with local wrestlers Of repute
which will no doubt insure good sport.
Makita is a powerful fellow, and fine
physical specimen. He uses the jiu-1itsu
methods praeticed by the Japanese.
The usual performances will be given
this week at the Casino The bill, which
also includes some new moving pictures,
is one that should please Casino patrons.

BRIDGE STILL CLOSED.
Rainy Weather Delays Work on &C.

Twenty-first street bridge, which has
been closed for several days, will not be
opened to traffic for four or five days to
come.
1t was found that the concrete founda-
ton on which the wooden blocks are laiu,
was imperfect in places. and. 1t became
necessary to tear up strip about ten
feet wide and considerably longer, and re-
lay it.
1t was stated yesterday that If the rain
storms did not cease work would be con-
siderably delayed, as it is impossible TO
get satisfactory results unless cement had
a chance to dry out.
A good deal of complaint is being regis
tered by the residents of the South High
lands at the continual trouble which the
city is having with this bridge and many
inquiries are made daily as to how long
it will remain closed

inches in the last twenty-four hours and

by heavy winds and as result many
poles and trees were blown down. The

EYES OF BISHOPS
TURNED TO ROME
FRENCH EPIscoPAcY UNANI-
MoUSLY APPROVE THE PoPE'S
ENCYCLtcAL AGAINST SEPARA-
TON OF CHURCH AND STATE.

Rome, August 13-The osservatore Ro-
mano today publishes the French bishops
reply unanimously and entirely approving
of the terms Of the Pope's eneylical
against the separation of church and
state. The document begins with an eX-
preston of the bishops satisfaction rel
atlve to the first assembly of tho entire
French episeopate for a century marking
the historic hour which returns to the
church of France one of it's dearest liber-
ties. The bishops express their gratitude
for the opportunity afforded to show their
unanimous patriotism, faith and submits
sion to the Pope's Will and recognizes
the papal encyclieal as monument of
divine and human wisdom, which, after
Judging condemns the separation law.
The biahops declare themselves happy
that they have been Judged worthy to
suffer for the faith, and add
with you holy father, we condemn the
false principles of the separation of
church and state Without previous con-
sulation with the head of the church, with
you, we protest against the sacrllegious
usurpatisn of ecclesiastic property. We
await the future with eyes turned towards
Rome"
The reply concludes with the hope that
the Pope will safeguard the rights OF
France as the eldest daught of the church
and also the privileges of the protector
ate of the Catholics in the Orient.
