RETURN OF A PIONEER.

c. W. Herman, who will be re-
membered by the old timers in this
part of Whitman county as a pioneer
resident and former newspaper man at
Uniontown. was in the city yesterday
from Kalama, he expecting to
locate at Cotton. Mr.. Herman
made the following Characteristic
observations while here:
"After an absence of eight years it
GEMS good to an old timer to come
back to the good old Whitman county.
"Down along the Lower Columbia
river the mill men and logging camps
have the situation in hand, for the
reason that when an over production
of logs is in sight the mills close
down, which means that by October
the camps and mills will open up
again, making the logs at So and SIS
per 1000. But this makes hard times
on the Lower Columbia. for the men
will seek more remunerative occupa-
tions. The car shortage Aaggravates
the situation, for the mill man cannot
get cars. The mills along the Lower
Columbia river have the advantage of
rail and river competition and where
this is the case, the mills will run
steadily. But at best the shingle out
put is an over production. Take nine
tenths of the Lower Columbia mills.
with their combination to close down
the mills in Southwestern Washing
ton. You can judge of how the stu
alton is now. Money is plenty, but
it puts a floating population on the
market. which, if steady work was
guaranteed, would invest their money
and grow up in their respective towns.
Coming from Portland to Pullman
we notice the fine waving grain and
the garden patches of corn, cabbage
and potatoes. all carefully hoed, which
makes an old timer sick to get back to
dear old Whitman county.
Another thing we wish to give
credit to our careful farmers for is
the presence of the many new orch
ards. A farmer leaves his home at
En- 1icott in the early morning, and,
accompanied by his wife and children,
has good drive to Colfax behind one
of the best teams in his barn. But
this can not be done on the Lower CO.
lumbia for the reason that that coun-
try is all under water. Many of the
farmers alongs that stream have lost
many of their fine garden patches, but
they have their cows and sell the milk
to the canneries and creameries and can
yet find time to put in root crops by
fall. Take it all in all. there is no
place like dear old Whitman county. :"

TRAVELS too FAST
D. A. MacCracken, at One Time
An Instructor at W. S. c.,
in Trouble at Palouse.

The following story from the Palous,
Republic. of yesterday, concerns D.
A. MacCracken, a former respected
citizen of Pullman, he being head OF
the business department at the college
while here:
Perhaps no occurrence of the past
few days occasioned so much surprise
as did the sudden and mysterious dis
appearance on last Wednesday of d.
A. MacCracken. the genial but some
what swift-going proprietor of the Pa
louise steam laundry. Why he should
have left as he did is as much of an
enigma to those who know him best as
IS his present whereabouts. While he
was heavily in debt his creditors were
not, so far as can be learned, pressing
him for their money, and he was con-
Quoting what is believed to be a profit
able business.
1t is impossible at this time to as
certain with any degree of certainty
the amount of the liabilities. The Sc
curity State bank, with claim of
S2490, is the principal creditor. Small
amounts were due the working force
at the laundry and it is thought that a
considerable amount is back on the
purchase price of new machinery put
in during the past year. In all prob
ability the assets will be sufficient to
meet the liabilities.
''The latest information secured at
the by Republic is that writ of at
tachment has been secured and the
court will be asked to appoint a re-
ceiver.
"The laundry plant is perhaps the
most complete In this section of the
Inalnd Empire. Mr. MacCracken,
with total disregard for expense.
had, when improving his plant. bought
| lavishly and the best.
I MacCracken left town some tim,
Wednesday. stripping his safe. tn,
employees say, ard driving horse be-
longing to the laundry. His room in
the Wells-Byron block when visited
later was found in it's usual good or
der, not even his clothing and personal
effects having been disturbed. 1t is
not thought that he had with him any
great amount of money. as he was in
the habit, those who know him best
say, of spending his money with a
lavish hand. Like many another man
his besetting sins were wine and wo-
men. MacCracken was. up until "a
little more than a year ago, an in
structor in the business department of
the Washington State College. He
was man of pleasing address, young
and highly educated, and until he had
struck all the gaits in the pace that
kills. was trusted and respected both
here and at Pullman. He was men,
Der of the Masonic and several other
secret societies. where his excellent
ability as a presiding officer brought
him into prominence. "

Lid on Tight.

Mondays Courier-Journal says: That
the lid was on in Louisville good and
proper yesterday there Is no room
for doubt. 1t was plain to the most
unobservant citizen that something out
of the ordinary was being experienced
in the Kentucky metropolis. Oldest
officials in the Police Department said
that the city was closed tighter from a
liquor viewpoint yesterday than ever
before known. While there were a
few arrests for selling liquor, yet it
was conceded by almost everybody
that a successful test had been made
as to the closing of saloons on Sun
day. In the downtown districts all
doors were closed and the blinds roll
ed up so that the stroller could get
full view and satisfy himself that
there was nothing doing.
No man felt better over the days
work than Mayor Bingham, who
warned the saloOnkeepers in a state
ment yesterday moring to the effect
that he meant business and if any
person was caught selling whisky yes
terday he would have his license re-
voked.
