There is a report in circulation of
 serious friction between the manage
 ment of the Jamestown exposition and the authorities at Washington.
 This story has not come out on the surface yet, but it is said that every one on both sides is tired and angry and that it would need little to bring about an open rupture. It is claimed that the whole trouble is jealousy on the part of federal officials of James, town of a southern enterprise. Ad- miraI Robley Evans. the Fighting Bob" of the navy. is credited with fo- menting the disturbance. He was in command of the American fleet at Jamestown and the complaint is that he has handicapped the displays there by failing to send attachments of sailors on shore for the various cere- monies when they were wanted, and chasing the foreign fleets out of the harbor before they were ready to go. It is said that on the opening day of the exposition he was not going to send any sailors ashore to take part in the display and was only brought to time by a sharp telegram from the of the navy. Afterward 1t is said that he urged the departure of the foreign fleets which were ex-

ST.

REPERTOIRE AT KEYLOR GRAND

For four nights during the fair the
Keylor Grand theater will present to
its patrons the Barrington-Lowe Sock
Co, in repertoire. This clever COM
paLy has just finished 16 weeks Of
summer engagement, over runnig the
usual length of time by four weeks;
that fact alone speaks well for their
versatility and ability. During past
seasons the northwest has been a Nee
ca for repertoire companies, some good
some bad and some Indifferent.
Manager Lowe, OF the Darlington
Lowe Stock Co, prides himself or
the fact that his company is first
class in every respect. The companys
engagement is for Tuesday, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Saturday of fair
week. There will be a change of bill
nightly, with pleasing specialties in
troduced. Popular prices will prevail.

PRICE OF WHEAT.

This has been a good year for the
wheat gamblers-that is, for those who
won. And some great winnings have
have been and will be MADE. 1t is
short year, throughout the wheat pro-
ducing world as whole, though in
some large spots, notably the Pacific
northwest, the crop has been good
But it became pretty evident last
spring that there would be such
shortage as would necessitate sharp
natural rise in prices, and spectators
had an unusually good chance to ape
rate. Early reports We're i'll a large
measure confirmed. the demand is alb
normally great in proportion to the
supply, and aside from any bullish in
fluence wheat was bound to go up and
is likely to go considerably higher,
of course the wheat pit prices for flu
ture deliveries are no safe criterion
to judge by. speculative price made
by man or syndicate attempting the
oft-repeated trick of cornering the
market may be real enough to short
sellers, and even to people who have
stocks of whea; in store, but it is too
short-lived and uncertain to be of
much benefit to the average actual
producer, says the oregon Journal.
There are portions of the world
producing wheat at all times of the
year. Argentina being the largest
wheat producing country whose crops
are harvested during our winter and
spring; and if the report be true that
the crop there will be short, there is
something more than speculative bull
movement to justify the soaring prices
recorded in the Chicago wheat pit. But
without placing much reliance on pres
EFT wheat pit prices it seems tolera-
bly, certain that those who still have
wheat will get good price for it, and
that the poor consumers of bread in
large cities will find the price higher,
or the loaves smaller, next winter than
for many years before.

Even if the direct primary law
should be attacked and held uncon-.
stitutional by the supreme court there
is no reason why the voters should not
turn out to the primaries and elect
the proper kind of delegates who will
see to it that honest men are NOM
mated for the respective offices. If the
electors of a precinct cannot select an
honest man for a delegate to a con-
vention how in the world are they go
ing to select an honest man for pub
lif office. After ALL under the direct
primary or the convention system, the
burden of good government rests on
the shoulders of the voters. If a man
will not attend the primaries he should
not be heard kicking because certain
men are elected as delegates to a
convention: neither is he entitled to
register a complaint against the nom
inee of a convention if he did not lend
his influence toward sending honest
men thereto. No man was ever a
corrupt political boss very long save
by the grace of the voters who did not
take enough interest in the welfare of
the country to attend the primaries.
There is where the political boss gets

She More Than Pleased.

Nine. Maconda was greeted at the
Keylor Grand last evening by a fair
sized audience despite the numerous
other attractions in the city. The
musical program at the fair grounds
the entertainment at the Christian
church and the play at the Orpheum
drew many who would otherwise have
heard the noted singer. However, the
music lovers of Walla Walla availed
themselves of the opportunity of hear
ing one of the greatest artists doing
concert work in America.
The program by Nine. Maconda was
appreciated, not only by those who had
musical training, but by every one
in the audience, as she sang in a man
ner that charmed and fascinated. She
has a wonderfully clear soprano voice
and was pronounced by local musicians
! as the best that has ever visited the
city. A competent critic in expressing
her opinion after the concert said:
While Nine. Maconda is in different
class from Nine. Blauvelt and Nine.
Gadski, she is certainly the equal of
either and as coloratura soprano it
is doubtful if she has any equals and
certainly no superiors."
With those whose musical vocabula-
~ is limited, the general expression is.
she was simply great" which tells
the story of her singing and her ap-
pearance. For a newspaper writer who
is not a musician. to attempt to give
any account of her singing or the
manner of her Interpretation would be
presump:ious ard useless. The must
clans We're charmed and others were
carried into the skies where they were
unaccustomed to the atmosphere which
was such as to give the ordinary in
dlvidual the sensation of being in a
dream.

given by the audience. The entire
company performed with much credit
to themselves and to the manager and
it was evident why the Binnard Stock
company maintains it's unusual popu-
larity. The entertainment afforded is
clean, wholesome and pleasing and the
continued large attendance is assuring
to the management of this popular
play house. AS a special feature the
moving pictures have been introduced
as between acts entertainment and
they meet with favor. The play will

RIVERS AND HARBORS CONGRESS

The National Rivers and Harbors
congress will convene in the city of
Washington on Wednesday. December
4, of the current year, and will con-
tinue is sessions on the succeeding
Thursday and Friday. The congress
will be the second to convene after its
reorganization more than a year ago.
Its first session was most encouraging
in the fact that its fundamental prin-
ciple of fixed and settled policy of
annual appropriations for the improve
ment of the rivers and harbors of the
United States, without regard to sec
ton but wholly with regard to merit.
commended itself to the commercial
ard manufacturing interests of the
country and to men distinguished in
public life, but there is every reason to
believe that its coming session will be
Tar more encouraging.
The attention of the country has
been directed to the absolute necessity
for the Improvement of inland water
ways and harbors in a manner sc
forceful and so direct that the inter-
est cannot be abated. 1t was an in
terest dormant for years, save in par
ucular sections of the United States
and whether it has been aroused to the
plane of demand that Will not be sat-
isfied with less than full compliance
by the ehegery of local Improvement
associations, or by the admitted ina
bility of the railways to carry the
freight offerings of the country is no,
the material question. The real cues
zion is in the universal concession, in
all sections, that the trade and COM
merce of the United States cannot be
adequately served without the i'm.

With the labor unions demanding
that all political candidates declare
themselves on the question of govern
ment by injunction, the temperance
people wanting to know how they
stand on the local option question, the

ing about the direct primary and the
election of United States senator's by
popular vote, the women urging some

MERGE others advocating the taxing of
franchises, and the general cry about
the revision of the tariff, the candi-
dates at the next election should have
enough to keep themselves busy.
Enough material is presented for nu-
merous campaign speeches without re-
petition. Besides the candidates will
want to tell why they want to serve
the dear people and why they are the
best men for the places they seek.
