PERRY IS GIVEN -FOUR HUNDRED
Condemnation Suit Brought by WalIa
WaIIa Valley Traction Company
Results in Settlement.

Four hundred dollars damages
were awarded to Alfred F. Perry
yesterday afternoon in the condemna-
ton proceedings against the Walla
Walla Valley Traction company.
The money will be paid to T. R..
Eastman, mortgage, by order of the
court. The verdict was larger than
expected. Although Perry wanted
$500 damages he had only been Of
fered 500 by the company. The
traction people have also agreed to
construct farm crossings at any place
which may be designated by Perry
and to fix conduits under the track for
all irrigation bitches. The company
also agrees to maintain the crossings
and bitches in good condition.
The testimony in the case yesterday
showed that only about one acre of
land will be occupied by the right
of way of the traction company; that
although the crossing of the track
would somewhat Inconvenience Perry
in farming the place, it would increase
the value of the PROPERTY to a large
extent.

ssDivOrce'' and HSeparatiOn.'

sfDivorce'' and desperation"
It is no new departure for an ortho
dox body of Roman Catholics to rec
Ommend an extension of the principle
of legal separation or limited divorce,
as was done recently at convention
Of Catholic societies. 1t has been the
practice of the Catholic church to grant
a separation by practically annuling a
marriage which, according to the strict
Interpretation of the rules of marriage
should not have taken place. This
measure of relief is most jealousy
guarded, and in every individual case
the sanction of the pope is necessary.
The reason assigned for extending
the application of legal separation
laws is that real divorce may thereby
be discouraged in some cases. A bill
Of separation will often cure the evils
which make an enforced union hard
ship for one or both parties. A sharp
distinction should be made between
separation from "bed and board" and
absolute divorce with the right to re-
marry. Such distinction may form
basis for cooperation among the con-
servative elements of society on the
deeply involved problem of uniform
marriage and divorce laws.

Our Next Licking.

1t won't do to snub Captain Hobson's
alarm over a coming war between the
United States and Japan merely be-
cause the incident Of Uncle Sans kill
ing and capturing Jap seal poachers
seems too trifiing TO fight over. That
unexpected collision was just the sort
Of trife to set excited people by the
ears provided there was resentment
smoldering beneath the surface. In the
present case there is no latent ami
mostly on either side. We appreciate
and admire the Japs and the feeling
Is returned
Perhaps Hobson borrowed his idea
from the Russians, who found the
Yankees Of the east" terrible fellows
and imagine that everybody else must
beware Of them. The Russians think
that the Japs are after the Philippines,
Hawaii and California, surely natural
ambition in territorial sense, and one
that the car and all his spokesman
should encourage. With Japan drawn
as far from home as Hawaii, to say
nothing of our mainland, assuming, of
course, that the Philippines would be
easy prey. then Russia might stand a
chance to get even in the far east. We
could afford to let the Japs lick us all
over the Pacific and even line up for
attack on the Pacific coast if Russia
was busy with a fire in the rear that
would make an end for good and all of
our bumptious little antagonist. But
the Japs know what to go up against
and what not to. Hobson and our pes
simistic Russian friends should guess
again if they want to locate the next
scrap involving Uncle SamuA

WELL DOWN e15 FEET.
Mud lnterferes With Work On Betz
Artesian Well.

Contractors sinking the artesian
we'll for the Betz Brewing & Mailing
association reported this morning that
the drills had reached a depth of 615
feet. The artesian flow which started
up a few days ago has disappeared.
Mud in the bottom of the well has
greatly interfered with the operation
of the drills and the contractors are
not so sanguine of developing an ar
tesian flow as they were a few weeks
ago. The well, however, will be sunk
a depth of 700 feet in an effort to de-

null OF "nigger's delight" The as
tonlshed groceryman was given the
"high-keye-yi' as Kimban moved off
quickly in the darkness.
A minor stunt imposed by the mer-
CHESS collegians was for the would-be
initiate to sit on the limb of a tree
near Reynolds hall and regale the
young ladies for an hour or so with
collection of popular melodies.
He Split the Wod.
But to cap the climax was the wood
chopping act. This is what the Bill
ings boys tell with the greatest
relish. One of the boys had contract
ed to split pile of wood for one of
the professors. He "Tom Sawyered''
Kimball into doing the job for him by
confidentially informing him that a
poor old widow woman had some
wood to split, but had no money.
Kimball, out of the goodness of his
heart willingly volunteered to go to
the rescue. The other fellow COL
lected the money
Other stunts various and ridiculous
were imposed and accomplished. Kim
ball seemed eager for more and begged
for tasks to perform. Every professor
who tried to tell him what a fool he
was making of himself was given the
high sign with animation.
Finally, about two days since, one
of the boys explained the thusness of
the whole affair to young Lawrence.
The boys say the blow seemed to be
more than he thought he could face.
At any rate he packed his trunk and
left for home the day following.
Kimball gave as his reason for leav-
ing that his father needed him to
work and he ought never to have
come. The boys while admitting the
last part of this, are skeptical as to
the first. There is hardly one of them
who does not believe that Kimball
could not face the music after he
thought he had lost the respect of the
boys.
