HUSBAND MUST PAY THE BILLS
Failure To Do So Is Considered by the
Supreme Court Sufficient Cause
For Divorce.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 2.-When a husband
leaves home at night and does not re-
turn for year, fails to contribute to
the wife's support and in addition
leaves her a lot of bills to pay, she is
entitled to a divorce according to the
decision of the supreme court in the
case of Hattie E. Swain against Ed s.
Swain. The Spokane court refused a
decree because the wife had not urged
for financial aid and this judgment is
reversed and a decree in her favor is
ordered.
Another decision holds that Joseph
Plastino and other Italians of Spo-
kane do not have to pay promissory
notes for about $500 held by Richard
Hyness, The Italians gave the notes
for being located on timber claims
which they were assured they could sell
for $1,000 each as soon as they proved
up.
In affirming decision in the Clarke
County case of James Bybee against
his son, Gay Bybee, the supreme court
says the deed for valuable property
given by the father to the son was
properly ordered Cancelled as having
been made without consideration. The
son claimed the deed was made to de-
fraud the mother, from whom a divorce
was being sought, but the lower court
found the deed was made to prevent
the old man being induced by his wife
to sell the property and expend the
proceeds eXtravagantly
The decision against the city of Spo-
kane in the suit of E. T. Cushing was
affirmed. Gushing says the treas
urer's books show tax liens against
his property which are outlawed. The
city admits it, but insists that to can
eel the tax would make the books lie.
as they would then show the tax as
paid. The supreme court modifies the
decision of the lower court to REQUIRE
the tax to be Cancelled. but orders that
the cancellation state that it is made
ov order OF court. Because the city did
not ask this modification of the
judgment in the lower court. the su-
preme court orders that the CITY nav

NEW REGISTRATION BOOKS
City Clerk Hart to Open Records For
1907 Next Monday With Same
Old Boundaries.

City Clerk Hart is busy preparing
registration books for 1907. The books
will be opened Monday at O'Clock.
Each of the eight precincts has two
books and the one oath book is used
for all.
The total registration last year in the
city of Walla Walla was 1919. The
boundary lines for the same wards and
precincts will be used although some of
them are almost too large to be legal.
1t was intended that the new city
charter should be decided On in time
to readjust these boundaries before
1907 registration began, but the delay
in this matter puts things back on the
old basis.
Registration will only be scattering
until the approach of election time.
Most of the voters register within 80
days of the first election of the year
and then the office of crowded all day
long.
There will be only one election this
coming year in Walla Walla. the city
election.

Tax Commission Finds There is No
Adequate Law
ASKS LEGISLATURE FOR 1 REMEDY
RECOMMENDS PASSAGE OF BILL
PROVIDING TAX OF SIX
PER CENT.

In the biennial report of the state tax
commission attention IS called to the
fact that private car companies are
not taxed in this state, because there
is no law on the subject, and the COM
mission recommends law taxing such
companies six per cent of the gross
earnings for business transacted in
this state In part the report in this
question says:
"One visiting any Of the terminals,
or even the sidings, of the railroads
must be impressed with the stipend
Gus number of cars bearing evidence
of ownership by innumerable railway
and private car companies.
Rolling stock Of railroads from the
four quarters OF the western hemis-
phere may be seen. In addition to that
owned by companies operating over
their owned or leased tracks is a
large number of cars owned and OPP
Grated by companies and associations
independent of all railroad companies.
Of this class may be enumerated all
kinds of cars, from the palatial Pull
man to the dingy Standard Oil tank
car notably the refrigerator, stock,
furniture, mchinery, beer and cold
blast fruit cars.
1.-The private car companies occupy
no such place in the world of traffic
and exchange as the rolling stock of
companies operating their own or
leased lines. There is no reciprocity.
They receive and enjoy all of the pro-
lection of law given other property in
our state, and have never contributed
dollar in taxes to either municipal,
county or state government. This is not
the fault of assessors, nor is it the
fault of the companies. There is no
law on the subject. The car COM
panies have never been assessed and
asked for taxes.
I'm the report Of the bureau of COM
merce and labor, which will be found
in house documents, vol. 54-known
as the investigation of the beef trust
it is there estimated that the car COM
panies make a net earning of not less
than 20 per cent on their investment.
The further findings were that cars
made daily mileage of from 80 to 100
miles; that the cost of construction a
refrigerator car was $1,000 per car.
The average cost of stock cars was
paced at $500, while the cost of box
cars which varies more than either of
the other two classes, according to
size and method of construction, was
placed at $500 per car. Taking all
things into consideration, this COM
mission is of the opinion that six per
cent of the gross earnings for bust
ness transacted within the state of
Washington would be a reasonable IL
cense or privilege tax for them to
pay"

The freeze last night did consider

"People don't understand about the

Newman this morning, when asked
if ne did not hate to run up white

"They are for "a hours ahead. Every

Mr.. Newman does not predict the
Walla Walla weather himself but tele-
graphs in to the central office in Port
land each day the result of his OBJ
servations and then the weather for
each locality is figured out there and
telegraphed to him.
A special wire runs from the office in
the Ransom building to the Office IN

ceived.
The predictions made are obtained
from an average of conditions all over
the Northwest and not from any one
locality.

TRADED FOR TEAM OF HORSES.
Remarkable Story of Alma Toepfer o
Oes Moines.

DES MONIES, Jan. 2.-Traded al
the age of IL to man by her mother
for team of horses, is the remarkable
tale told by Alma Toepfer, a 15-year-
old wife, who had her marriage to
TOepfer set aside in Judge Brennan's
court.
The girl, who was married to Toep-
fer two years ago, after her mother
had made the alleged trade, ap-
veared in court clad in short dresses
and with her hair done in braids. She
was obviously only a child, and her
testimony as to her married life moved
Judge Brennan to indignation. The
court directed an investigation of Toep-
fer, who, according to the testimony.
is now living with the mother of the
girl wife.
Toepfer is 35 years old and the lit
tie girl testified that he had often
abused her after marriage. She was
rescued from him by the humane So
ciety. which started her annulment ac
ton for her.

MAKING: DAINTY NECKWEAR
Some Pretty Designs That Are Easily
Made by Any Ingenious
Woman.

Among the little accessories there
are few which really add such a. touch
of freshness and daintiness as does
the charming neckwear which is now
presented to us in such great variety
A fresh jabot will distract ones at
tention from a waist which has been
worn before and lost some of it's
freshness.
These little jabots can be made in
half an hour out of odds and ends of
lace, embroidery, and lawn Make
little bow Of embroidery, knotted
firmly in the center. Two little pad
die shaped tabs of embroidery are
below this
Another design has a bow of lace
and piece of lawn about five inches
square for the tab, two opposite sides
Of the lawn are hemmed and one side
has narrow lace sewed on it plain.
Plaits then are made at the other e:,1
till it is only about an inch long.
These plaits are pressed down to the
lace edge. Tack the top end under
the bow of lace and you have as dain-
ty a little jabot as you could wish
for.
Others are simply bows made of
embroidery, without any tabs. These
are worn with lingerie waist or with
linen collar, and they may be fast
ened on with any kind of fancy pin.
