reflects great credit upon her teacher.
Mrs. Edgar Fischer, who also acted as
accompanist last evening.
Prof. A. c. Jackson contributed two
numbers to the program. The first
was a recitative and aria from Hay
dns Creation" and the second was
two songs, my Love is Like Red,
Red Rose" and Drink to Me Only
With Thine Eyes" Prof Jackson's rich
and full baritone was in excellent
form with the consciousness of conf
dence Prof. Jackson throws his voice.
His high notes are pure and f1ute-lKe,
his bass tones deep and resonant. His
voice is a highly sympathetic one and
the numbers he essayed were warmly
enjoyed and appreciated.
The recital, looked at from every
view point, was a great artistic sue
cess and speaks volumes for teacher,
pupil and artist.

peared two. weeks ago.
He was given $25 and started for
Everett to transact some business, but
he never showed up there. He came
to Bellingham. purchased a suit of
clothes and a new hat. which he sent
to Ferndale by the stage and which
are still awaiting his arrival. His
habits were good and he did not drink.
His books are straight. and it is be-

the seizure of the company's schooner
Charlotte n. c.. Cox, by the revenue
cutter Rush off Sitka, said:
Il cannot see what right the Rush
had to seize the schooner When there
were no Japanese schooners hunting
in those waters, the modus vivendi
prohibiting sealing this side of the
1S0th meradian between May and
August prevailed, but as l understand
international law, the matter is the
same as a blockade, and to be recog-
nized as such a blockade must be ef-
fective. The Japanese sealers are per-
mitted to hunt in those waters I'M
molested and if the Japanese are
given the privilege I maintain that
Canadian sealers cannot be prevented
from sealing. The schooner and out
fit are valued at 100000.

DEATH SUMMONS WILKERSON,
Boise Man Found Dead In Boat On the
Boise River.

BOISE. June 5.-Lying on his face in
the bottam of boat on which he had
been working, Sam Wilkerson was
found dead Monday night, by William
Moore. boy who was sent out to look
for him. Wilkerson, who was about
6S years of age, had been calking a
boat on the bank of the Boise river. a
short distance above the headgate of
the New York canal and it is thought
he died from heart trouble while at
work, as he had been a sufferer from
this disease for long time
He was employed by the New York
Canal company and failed to come to
the boarding house at the headgate for
supper with the other men. Nothing
was thought of this at first, as he of
ten was late to his meals. but when
the men returned to their work of TAX
ing logs out of the river at the head
gate. and Wilkerson had not yet ar
rived at the boarding house. a boy was
sent to look for him. When he found
him he Immediately returned and no.

MELCHER RECITAL A TREAT.
Excellent Talent Charms Musical Al.
dIence at Whitman.

Miss Edna Melcher, a pupil of the
Whitman conservatory of music, gave
an interesting voice and piano recital
in Whitman Memorial chapel last eve-
ming. She was assisted by Prof. A. C.
Jackson, for whom she has recently
done Accomplishments.
Miss Melcher possesses to marked
degree the interpretive faculty, as
shown both in her vocal and instru-
mental numbers.
Possessed of a clear, we'll mOdulated
meZZo soprano of no small proportions
Miss Melcher showed good and studied
control of her voice in every number
she essayed.
Among her vocal numbers Arne's
THE Lass with Delicate Air. with its
initiative triplets in the refrain, Foote'S
Irish Folk Song" with its sudden
and unexpected changes from minor to
major, and three excerpts from Salter's
little album of Loves Epitome" were
probably the best liked.
In her instrumental numbers Miss
Melcher was even better. Chopin's
Study for Cello" was beautifully
played. In reality it is a left-hand
finger exercise. In Bendel's Cascade"
she was really at her best. Her inter-
probation of this number was poetic.
One could almost hear the waterfall,
now placid, vending its way in peace
full obscurity and now turbulent and
riotous, where it dashes against the
rocks. Enough cannot be said of Miss
Melcher's executive ability and intui-
tive artistic Interpolation. Grieg's fes-
tival piece Wedding Day at Trold-
hangen' was also splendidly rendered.
The whole of Miss Melcher's recital

HUNTINGTON LINE ASSURED
Three Thousand laborers Employed
On New Snake River Road

LEWISTON, June 4.-Some informa-
ton relative to the work on the Lewis
ton Huntington line was obtained
from E. H. Smith who arrived in the
city yesterday from that place. Mr.
Smith is recently from Nebraska, hav
ing shipped his stock and household
goods to Oregon a short time ago and
came overland from there to Lewis
ton. He stopped in Huntington and
while there made inquiries of the men
identified with the construction work.
According to his information, there are
now about three thousand men en-
ployed on the line out of Huntington.
The contractors state that it is the in
tention to rush the road through to
Lewiston and they could easily employ
two thousand five hundred more men if
they could secure them. A large num-
Der of laborers have arrived there re-
Gently from the east and more are be-
ing shipped in, but owing to the ap-
preaching harvest season, the con-
tractors do not believe they will be able
to obtain all the men they need.
AS to when the work would be COM
menced on this end of the line, Mr..
Smith states that he elected the in
formation that while the company was
very anxious to begin operations out of
Lewiston the contractors expressed
some doubt as to whether they would
be able to do so until after the harvest
season owing to the likelihood of a
scarcity of labOrers during the harvest
period. but gave the impression that
the work at this end of the line was
being considered and matters being ar
ranged so that operations can be COM
menced earlier in the event it is found
that a sufficient force can be secured
to effectively carry on the work. There
is much heavy work on the Huntington
end and a heavy force Of men will be
required in building that part of the
road, thus precluding any probability
that a portion of the men there can be
sent to the Lewiston end.

1t is understood that all the telephone
electrical workers in the four states

John Goull, Jr., secretary of local

hood of Electrical Workers. when seen
said that the statement yesterday was
somewhat misleading in that it con-
veyed the impression that the members
of the local union had gone out in
sympathy with members of the Salt

PROSPERITY IN EVIDENCE

The success with which Walla Walla
real estate dealers are meeting
in disposing of new additions recently
opened up, is a pretty clear indication
of Walla Walla's financial prosperity
and the rapid growth of the city, es-
pecially in the suburban districts. That
the present boom is not merely spec
ulative is evidenced by the number of
new residences being erected in all
parts of the city and in the new addi-
tions being placed on the market. 1t
is a noteworthy fact that no city in
the west, aside from some of the Iarg-
er cities have shown a greater growth
the past few years than WaIla Walla.

funny joke or situation to escape it
and that literally repaid with applause
the many rollicking jovial songs. 1t
was as the press agent said, One con-
tinuous, refreshing stream of girls,
music and laughter, with the decided
emphasis on the first mentioned. The
chorus is pretty supple and shapely
and the fourteen musical numbers
were accorded an applause that in
most instances called for an encore.
The principals are all good. Popular
prices will prevail.

MERIT IN THE MERIT SYSTEM.

The merit system inaugurated at the

under direction of Governor Mead, al
ready gives promise of lifting to a
higher sphere, many inmates who nave

new system, convicts who show de-
termination to become better citizens
will be met half way by being accord

to their prison records. There is lit
tie doubt but that many convicts will
avail themselves of the merit system

CURRY COUNTY LAND SHARKS
Gold Beach Globe.


What is more discouraging to the
people of Curry than to know and re-
alize the fact that so much of her pub
lie domain has been withdrawn from
entry, and yet there are rich land COM
panies having even the unsurveyed
timber lands cruised for the purpose
of placing the scrip thereon, which is
being done right now in Curry.
Scrip that costs the purchaser as
high as $22 per acre is now being
placed on some Of Curry's best timber
which is not yet surveyed.
If such gigantic injustice as this
is allowed to continue much longer
what will be left for the rising gener-
alton? There should be some steps
taken Immediately toward protecting
the rights of the legitimate locator
from the ruinous grasp of scrip
sharks.

PREVENTED ONLY BY PREVIOUS
PROMISE.

Endorsed by his own county organl.
cation, the choice of his own people,
and the candidate of the people all
over the southern part OF the state.
Lawyer W, B. Townsend, of Pueblo,
went down to defeat in his asking for
place on the Board of Pardons, only
because Gov Buchtel had already
slated a man from Pueblo for a place
and the geographical consideration
prevented another from the same
city. No stronger endorsement of the
abb ity and standing of man could be
given than the wonderful following
that rallied to support Mr. Townsend
in mis- ambition. This is the first time
that any member Of our race has made
a fight for such a place and If at any
time in the near future one OF us
should grace any of the important
state boards, 1t may safely be said
that the path was opened by the CT.
cero of the bar from Pueblo.
