OWENS ROAD COMING.

According to information re
ceiyed here this morning the
line of railroad proposed by
Mr.. ". F. Owen and known
as the New Orleans Crowley
and Western Railroad will be
built and in operation before
the first day of January 1909.
This is the letter that announces
the good news:
New Orleans, Oct 6, 1906
Mr.. Jules Dreyfus, Vice President
n. O. c. & W. r. Il. Co.
My Dear Mr.. DreyfuS:
| returned from New York yes
terday and beg to advise You that
our line will positively be built aud
in operation before the first of
January 1909 Everything has
been satisfactorily arranged.
Yours very truly,
W. F. OWEN.
1t is the general opinion that
no matter what the connections
OF the road will be, if the terms
of the Franchise are carried out,
New Iberia will be greatly bene-
flied by the building of the line.
1t will be the third line of road
passing through here and will
open just SO much more terrific
ry to our merchants. With the
Central R. R., of La. Mr..
Ovens line and the Southern
Pacific this will be quite rail
road center.

RAILROAD SCHEDULE.
LOCAL NEWS,

Work was resumed on thu
clty's canal on Thursda,
and 1t is expected that the prog.
ress will be much faster than the
past. The machinery of the
dredge broke couple of weeks
ago and work had TO be stopped
till repairs we're made. These
are now completed, and it looks
as If there were no more obsta-
cles to overcome till the higher
land is reached. Judge Brown
who visited the canal Yesterday
says rhat the work is being we'll
udone, and that the worst part of
the roc*e> has been finished.
From now ION the progress
ought to be more rapid and the
digging should 60 on with great.
er advance every day.

airy manner in which some members
of the court replied when asked to say
whether the right to enact a Sunday
law was vested in the provinces. The
Judges said in effect that the parlia-
ment should go ahead with it's Sunday
law and let the matter come up in
case afterwards. This is the course
in America. Congress passes laws,
but it does not know until they have
been through the courts whether they
are good or not This uncertainty
often tangles congress in complica-
tons as to whether the supreme court
will hold this or that provision of
statute good. The senate a few weeks
ago was up against the problem of
broad or narrow court review and
whether congress could prohibit the
issuance of interlocutary decress in
lower courts. Mr. Bailey argued very
plausibly that the inferior courts Were
the creatures of congress and could be
ordered to do or refrain from doing,
in the wisdom of congress. Mr.. Spooner
argued just the opposite, but there
was no way to determine the matter
in advance. The Canadian parlia-
ment believes it has found a way in
an act which requires the supreme
court to decide things referred to it
by parliament.
The convenience of having advance
information upon what is constitution
al and what is not cannot be denied
Yet it is difficult to realize in a gov
eminent whose three chief branches
are coordinate. The American SUI
preme court would not take any such
orders from the congress, and it is
doubtful whether the supreme court
about loaded with opinions pom the
of laws. They ac-
quire them from time to time by the
consideration of actual cases. Hypo-
thetical cases can never have the
same value as actual cases. No doubt
a supreme court composed of Peter S.
Grosscup and David ]. Brewer would
be ready to give opinions in advance;
in fact, it is patent that congress
would always know their opinions
without even hypothetical case, but
They demand to see the goods before
appraising their value.

lions NEW STATUS.

Whether there is much law there is
certainly very little Zionism in Judge
Lands decision in the Dowie case
The judge appears to have viewed it
as a business man or an umpire might
and to have worked out a solution
based partly upon the law governing
trust estates and partly upon the i'm
mediate necessities of the case. He
finds that Dowie never owned the
property and never had the right to
dispose of it since it came to him as
a trust from the people who paid
in money to Dowie's church, just as
a Methodist or Congregationalist puts
money in the collection plate. He has
no bargain with the church creating
a trust, but the trust is presumed and
it is presumed in the case of Zion VS..
Dowie He finds that Voliva was
guilty of a breach of trust in assign
ing his power of attorney from Dowie
to another, for a purpose distinctly
hostile to Dowie. Finally he finds that
Alexander Granger is unfit by reason
of the oaths he has taken to admin
lister a property. Having eliminated
all of the men who have heretofore
claimed a right to control Zion, he
appoints a day when the inhabitants
of Zoin shall elect an overseer, under
the laws of the state of Illinois.
Judge Lands swept away the num-
merry of Zion. He paid scant attention
to the apostolic cloakings of Dowie,
and went straight to the property
question as the main one. The values
that have been created are to be
conserved by business management,
and the people who have made the
investments are to have protection.
Dowie is to be remunerated for his
superior work in getting the people
to subscribe, but he is not given any
heavenly attributes by this mundane
judge.
This accords with the common sense
of the public. Dowie has been a mas
querader for a long time. He has ere
ated large values, but he has spent
| immense sums riotously and wickedly
while doing it. He has posed as a
longed very much to the earth. Vol
iva first pricked the Dowie bubble and
can never be reinf1ated lions status
is now that of an earthly cooperative
| community.

WIRE GLASS IN FAVOR.
New Material Valuable In Building
Because OF Cohesive Properties.

New Material Valuable In Building
Because OF Cohesive Properties.
Wire mesh glass is now made for use
In outside and inside walls. Builders
are finding the desirability of this ma
terial. The uses to which it is being
put are told in ILLUSTRATION Of Paris,
as follows:
Like REINFORCED concrete, re-enforc-
ed glass Is now more than ever en-
ployed in buildings. Re-enforced glass,
the principle Of which has been patent
ed by an American, is made by rolling
two sheets Of glass between which is
placed a metallic grating. The product
shows remarkable cohesion and tenac-
ity, and in case Of breaking. the plates
of glass instead of separating remain
adherent, held by the metallic grating.
That is the principal advantage Of re-
enforced glass. BY interesting expert
ments recently made it has been prov.
ed that plate of REINFORCED glass
slightly less than a quarter of an inch
thick and & trifie over four feet long
by about foot and a half wide could
support a weight Of about Loaf pounds.
Under 1892 pounds it did not break
but was only bent and cracked. Re-
enforced glass has another important
property. A small building, the walls
of which are made of REINFORCED glass;
resists very lively fire lit on the in.
side, whereas an ordinary window
breaks at the first touches of the flame
''Such properties clearly fit re-enforc
ed glass for roofing, shop windows and
glass partitions, but its application to
the construction Of staircases Is partic
ularly successful, for glass staircases
allow the easy lighting of the descents
into Easements. Their steps are not
slippery, uud in case Of fire their supe-
riority over wooden staircases is incon

THE vASTNESS OF CANADA.

In our widest moments of youthful
enthusiasm over the growth OF
our country we do not appear
to have reached the plane OF
hyperbole which the Canadians
have scaled at a bound in the Cate
chism of Canada" The Catechism of
Canada is newspaper publication
calculated to exalt Dominion Day in
the mind of the loyal though far-re-
moved subject of his majesty, King
Edward VII 1t declares among other
things the size of Canada. From this
we learn that Canada is larger than
the United States; that it extends
from the latitude of Rome to the I'M
discovered pole; that is is $500 miles
from east to west and 1,400 miles from
north to south. That it is as large as
thirty United Kingdoms, eighteen
Germanies, thirty-three Italics.
On this vast acreage exist 100000
people, not including Eskimos, who
live on the ice. The total population
is less than that of New York and
Chicago, and a little more than that
of London which boasts no such lat
itude nor can compare in longitude.
If the purpose of the catechism is
to create an impression Of greatness
from one of vastness, the figures are
not overdone Indeed, they are so
modest that one is tempted to improve
upon them. For instance, the native
ice crop of Canada is fifteen times that
of the United States and more than
that of six million Indias; her aurora
borealis beats the world; her mounted
police have longer beats than the Cos
sacks. There are any number of in
teresting facts about Canada which
should go ineo the catechism, but it is
not to be supposed that enterprise is
exhausted in a first publication.
1t is not to be objected that the mat
ters of size which are mentioned are
in nowise the creation of the present
or past population of Canada. What
if Canada would have lain as large
out of doors had it never had an in
habitant? What constitutes a state
evidently does not constitute colony.

Within few weeks now Walla
Walla will hear the whir of trolley
cars running day and night, and it
will then begin to dawn upon some of
our doubling Thomases that Walla
Walla has at last become a real live,
up-to-date city. fully abreast of the
progress of other cities of like popula
ton Within a year or two electric
lines will connect this thriving met
ropolis of eastern Washington with
other thriving communities in Wash
ington Oregon and Idaho, and then We
shall advance toward the $4,000 pop
ulation mark by leaps and bounds. The
next five years will see wonderful
progress and improvement in Walla
Walla. and it would not be surprising
if the next decade should see the pop
ulation of the city increased from 90
O00 to $4,000, the present population of
Spokane or Tacoma, conservatively
estimated.

NO MONOPOLY OF HEAT.

Residents of Walla Walla who have
gone to Sound cities to escape the
summer heat have discovered that the
heat is even more oppressive in the
humid atmosphere of the Sound than
it is in he clear, dry atmosphere of
eastern Washington. Ninety degrees
Fahrenheit in Seattle or Tacoma is
even more oppressive than 100 de-
grees in Walla Walla. Every one I'M
derstands that in a hot, dry atmo-
sphere one perspires freely and the
perspiration is rapidly evapora ed. In
the humid atmosphere of the Sound,
the perspiration clings to the body and
gives a sense of discomfort not ex-
perienced in dry atmosphere.
OF course on the water or on the
isles of the Sound is much cooler
than on the mainland and a ajority
of the Sound people who can afford it
seek cool summer resorts on the beach
or on some island just as do the peo-
pie of Eastern Washington who car
spare the ime and the money
On the whole. however, the summer
climate of Walla Walla is quite as
comfortable as that of the Sound cities
