Want Harm ony,

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-The
Chronicle says: Let peace once more
reign in this city. Let the wretched
agitation of the last six years end and
agitation and industrial warfare cease.
Let those who have hot yet rehabili
tated themselves, thank God and pro-
ceed to show that the union labor votes
did it. Ne such majority was possible
in any O her fashion,"
Francis j. Heney and Rudolph
Spreckels are jubiliant "The result of
the election shows that the people
want representative government, a
government representing themselves.
The eyes of the world were on San
Francisco yesterday. The result JUS
titled confidence in the people. Special
honor is due the laboring men who re-
fused to be guided by the savage ap-
peals to their prejudice by that sell
fish and unprincipled demagogue, P.
H. Mccarthy"

SEATTLE WANTS ANOTHER
THINKS SHE COULD DEFEAT If
GIVEN ANOTHER CHANGE
WAS TOO CONFIDENT.

Chagrined over their defeat of last
Saturday at the hands of the Spokane
high school, Seattle high offers $1,000
for return game. They claim their
defeat was due to overconfidence and
that they can defeat the speedy Spo-
kane bunch if given another trial.
From all reports they would have to
go some. Dewitt, SpOkane's kicker,
had four trials for field goals and had
he been accurate would have scored 16
points instead of A. Seattle had no op-
pOrtunities, or if she did, she failed to
use them.
Whether Spokane will accept the
challenge or not, has not yet been an
nounced, but it is likely that she will
refuse, having won the game of last
Saturday fairly and by a decisive vic
tory, according to all reports. Spokane
is now turning her attention to the
east and will challenge the North Side
Chicago high school to game which
is to decide the interscholastic cham
pionship of the United States.

RESOLUTIONS At
LAST ADOPTED
CITY WARRANTS WILL HEREAF.
TER BEAR SIX. PER CENT
INTEREST.

AS the result of an agitation Of sew
eral months duration. the city coun-
ell at it's ing last evening decid-
ed to increase the interest on city
warrants from five to six per cent. The
resolution was introduced by Council
mah Mexican, and passed by the unan-
imous vote of the body.
Consider able complaint has been
made in the past by the city treasurer
made in the past by the city employees
who were compelled to hold their war
rants until the city treasurer
called for an issue of currency war
rants. The local banks were also at a
disadvantage for reason that the war
rnts drew only five per cent interest.
During the fall months, and especial
ly while considerable currency is tied
up in the grain markets, the city en-
ployes have experienced considerable
difficulty in casiling their warrants.
This year even more difficulty has beer
experienced; and more of them have
been unable to cash their warrants
with the usual three per cent dis
count. 1t was for these reasons that
:hr resolution was introduced by Coun-
Gilman Mexican last evening

Hundreds. even thousands of gay
lights, the same twinkling bulbs which
greeted thousands of visitors during
the carnival and fair weeks, will re-
main to enhance the gayety of the
holiday season. Chirstmantide shop
pers are now assured of plenty OF
light. 1t has been SO willed.
The merchants of Alder street sig
nified their intention to keep the light
for the holiday occasion, and the mer-
chants on Main street readily con
sented to do the same, and so 1t was
practically assured this morning tnsi
the lights would remain in place. u
is even now planned to have the iights
remain as a permanent fixture ~ pc
turned on when so desired. The ef-
feet especiaHy on Main street, Is in

citv merchants are determined to have
them remain permanently is EVIL
dence of the Walla Walla spirit.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-The
count of ballots today confirms last
nights estimate of victory for E. r.
Taylor, democratic good government,
for mayor by a majority Of 10000 or
11,000. Langdon has defeated Meow
an for district attorney by a majority
of about 10000. Apparently the voting
of the majority for good government
elected the league supervisors and
other officials. The count of ballots
went on slowly during the night but
by O'Clock the result was apparently
certain. Joy in the city over the result
is apparently unrestrained and is es-
pecially apparent among the working
men. On their way to work this mor1.-
ing groups of laborers would stop be-
fore the Taylor posters and give three
cheers for the successful candidate.

WAGES INCREASE
ALONG ALL LINES
UPWARD TENDENCY
OF LIVING EXPENSES PAY FOR
LABOR Is GOING UP.

Never has the outlook for working
men been so bright as it is this fall"
said well known business man of this
city. who has just returned from "a trip
to Seattle, Spokane and other north
ern points, There is demand all over
the country for labor, both skilled and
unskilled and the prices which are
being paid are good. better than they
nave been for years. Men are in de-
mand and consequently they are de-
manding higher wages.
This is, of course, but part of the
general tendency of everything to go
up The cost of living has increased
so much in the past few months that
it is absolutely necessary for the
| workingman 10 get better pay.
Just what is causing the scarcity
of labor would be hard to say. the
railroad construction work is taking a
good many and with the fall run of the
saw mills on the Sound, many are
being attracted TO that place. 1t was
thought that after harvest there would
be a superfiuity of mer. but for some
reason or other, there are few to be
had
.. You will notice there are compare
lively few men hanging around this
city at the present time and they are
usually plentiful on the streets. Far
mers tell me that it is hard indeed to
get men to do the fall work on the
farms and that wages are higher now
than usual, contrary to the reports
which have been seLt out that wages
are low.
1T was the same lin every city 1
visited. There are no men at all
hanging around looking for work,
which in every case is d rare thing. the
residents of these towns tell me.
Skilled labor is even higher in pro-
portion. Plumbers are getting IS a day
in Seattle and from s6 to IS il. SpO-
this figure. In every line it is just tie
same. Men are just naturally hard to
get and in some cases they are simply
unobtainable. In every line they are
being worked overtime and one plumb
er told me he could work "a hours iE
the day at 81 per hour.
while this is not so noticeable in
Walla Walla as it is elsewhere, ii is
felt to some extent even here. Men have
no difficulty whatever in getting good
positions and advertisements go un-
answered because there is no one to
answer them. The wages are too low
ard they will have to go up before men
are obtained"

Many of the people of this city Will
remember Kellogg Durland as the
gifted young journalist, correspondent
and lecturer who spoke here last
spring.
Durland has the reputation OF be-
ing the most famous Russian CORE
spondent of the present day and one
who has risked his life innumerable
times while serving his papers in the
land of the czar.
While here, he characterized the
emperor of all the Russias as a weak
tool in the hands of powerful few
who are making him do their bidding
at will" According to him. Russia
must have a new monarch before any
real good can come to its people.
Durland has been foreign cOrrespon-
dent for the best papers and journals
in the United States and. despite the
fact he is a marked man in that coun-
try goes there fearlessly to carry on
his work. He has been arrested twice
and imprisoned but has been able
both times to secure his release.

NORTH COAST
IS TROUBLED
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF EAST
MAY CLOSE CONSTRUCTION
WORK.

According to reports from Spokane
he North Coast railway company is
likely to stop all construction work
within a few Jays. and many not re-
sumo until the first of December,
when it is expected that the financial
situation will be improved. Naturally
these reports have created considerable
interest in Walla Walla as the opera
tions of the company have been
watched with keen anticipation of the
good results wlich are sure to follow.
In speaking of the present condition
of affairs, the North Yakima Republic
says the following:
"The construction work between
Grandview and Granger practically is
completed now and it was the intention
of the company to have Immediately let
a contract for the Prosser- Kiona Sec
ton OF the railway. Case & Eschback
went out to view the country a few
JAS ago and were prepared to bid on
the contract. The decision of the
comrany to stop work was entirely un-
expected and will cause considerable
disappointment in the lower valley.
NO official statement regarding the
81 uation could be obtained from the
company today, the officials being un-
willing to discuss the matter"

Easter Is associated with beauty
more than any other festival of the
year. In a season Of flowers the world
Is filled with music. Through the eye
and the ear the sel-se of beauty Is
stimulated and satisfied. The very
symbol of brightness is "the sun upon
an Easter day." Phillips Brooks, In
one of his poems, expressed the mean
Ing of Easter as being that death is
strong, but life stronger Men of all
creeds can share that religion of the
fulness of life. The eloquent preach
ing of 1t, with such spiritual intensity,
made Phillips Brooks force never
to be forgotten by any who have once
been under his influence. The greatest
American preacher of his day felt no
kinshlp between holiness and gloom.
Faith TO him was the source of Joy.
His charity was unbounded. His SYM
pathy with life was universal. He,
as far as our experience of him went,
never took the more severe spirit to-
ward the lighter side of human nature,
rs in this bit from a sermon by South:
1T were much to be wished for the
credit of their religion as well as the
satisfaction of their conscience that
their Easter devotions would, In some
measure, come up to their Easter
dress" The negative was not the side
from which truth was approached
by Mr.. Brooks. He did not spend
wrong. He breathed out fulness of life
and love of llen. He looked on moth
ing scornfully, or with rancor. Unlike
Macauley's Puritan, if Mr.. Brooks
hated bear batting, 1t was not because
It gave pleasure to the spectators. Most
Of his religion was included in the Ser
mon on the Mount-Collier's Weekly.
