ROUSSEAU To ADVANCE
To CANAL COMMISSION
Civil Engineer to Be Given
a Still Higher Ap-
pointment
rs YET A YOUNG MAN
Army and Navy Officers
Surprised at the Rapid
Promotion

WASHINGTON. March S-Although
no official confirmation of the report
can be had. 1t appears reasonably GER
tain that the appointment by the Presi-
dent of Civil Engineer Harry E. Rous-
seau. chief of the bureau OF yards and
docks OF the Navy Department, to a
place on the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion will be announced soon.
This appointment will be made to
give the Navy Department q civil en-
gineer oficer on the commission, ac-
cording to law, and II would mean the
retirement from the commission of
Rear Admiral Endioott. retired.
With the arrival Of Colonel Goethals
Stevens the commission will stand as
follows: Lieutenant Colonel George w.
Goethals, chairman and chief engineer;
Major William L. Sibert, engineer; Ma
jor David DUB. Gaillard. engineer:
Colonel William c. Gorgas, army med
ical sanitary officer; Harry H. Rous-
seau, navy engineer, yet to be appoint
ed; Jackson Smith. in charge OF labor;
former Senator Joseph C. Blackburn,
civil member and general legislative
adviser.
When asked today II the appointment
of Rousseau had been made by the
President, Secretary Taft said that it
had not, but he did not deny that Rous-
seau was under consideration for the
position.
The President has increased the du-
ties Of Joseph B. Bishop. secretary OF
the commission. by placing him in full
charge of canal affairs in Washington.
This will make Bishop a sort of acting
chairman Of the commission from the
Washington end during such time as
Colonel Goethals is on the isthmus.
The selection of Civil Engineer Rous-
seau comes as a marked surprise to
officials in both the army and navy. He
is only 35 years of age, and two months
ago was placed in charge of the bureau
of yards and docks, over the heads of
number OF officers his senior. Before
coming here he performed brilliant SER
vice in deepening the channel at Mare
Island navy yard.

She was unable Co give a coherent acc count of the trouble, but two Mex ican men stated that a Mexican had attempted a criminal assault upon the old woman. The Mex ican so charged was located in the back yard of the residence; where he was lying on the ground in an inebriated condition. The chief of police arrested him and locked him up in the city jail.
 Stafford Journal: The lawyers, magistrates and others who make transfer titles to real estate in Graham county find it difficult to get description of some property sufficient to make a good title, be- cause some lands corner on canal, or railroad, which it follows for some distance as a boundary line. A canal, railroad or fence is an unstable boundary line because either can be moved and would make it next to oimpossible to locate lands or give good titles. This will cause numerous and costly law suits in the future. All ranches, lots, etc, ought to be properly surveyed and plated. This would make all real estate owners have safe titles and enable them to give good titles to lands when they sell.

Walla WalIa Grain Dealers Check Out
S18O,OOO to Farmers.

Walla Walla, Dec. 1T estimate
that within the past 10 days close to
$15OOOO has been paid farmers for
wheat contracted earlier in the sea-
SON." said a well known buyer this
morning in discussing the wheat stu
alton and the financial situation in
general. my firm alone has check
ed out $4,000 the past 10 days and
l estimate that the other dealers have
paid out an equal amount II not more.
This has a tendency to relieve the
financial stringency to a great degree.
The situation will undoubtedly be-
come better from now on as wheat
bought earlier in the season before
the strlngency is now being shipped
out in great quantities from tldewater
points.
Every ship leaving Portland, Seat
tie and Tacoma is loaded with wheat
for foreign ports. As soon as the
surplus wheat is shipped buying on a
large scale in interior points will pro-
badly be resumed"
With the exception Of a few firms,
local dealers are out Of the market at
present, although quotations are
strong. Blue stem was quoted at
TAN to 75 (. o. b. and club 70 cents
today. 1t is estimated that rs per
cent of Walla Walla county's crop has
been sold and that more than 60 per
cent of the crop has been shipped to
tidewater.
