WILLARD VAN DYKE AIMED
REVOLVER AT IRA DEWITT.
District Attorney Lodges Complaint
Against Member of Birch Creek
Threshlng Crcw-Others Found
Guilty of Same Business-Offlcers
Say Habit Has Grown Prevalent of
Late.

Willard Van Dyke, a member of
the Birch creek threshing crew, is the
latest victim of the gun play" fad
and through the same he is now fac
ing a charge similar to that against
Lacourse and others recently arrested
for being too free with a weapon.
Complaint against Van Dyke was
made yesterday by members of the
thresher crew and in the complaint
which District Attorney Phelps filed
against him in Justice Parkes' court
he is accused OF having aimed re-
volver at Ira De Witt on November
IL.
This afternoon Sheriff Taylor went
to Birch creek for the purpose of ar
resting Van Dyke and he will be held
in the county Jail unless bail be
given.
Last night the police also picked
UP a man with a gun and this morn
ing his bail was set at $25 by Judge
Fitz Gerald No charge was made
against him in the Justices court.
Before Judge Parkes yesterday
afternoon Lacourse, who pointed a
gun at Chance Rogers. was admitted
to $3.50 bail, which amount was fur
nished.
According to the officers, the habit
of carrying guns and occasionally
pointing them at others has been
alarmingly prevalent lately and stren-
nous efforts are liable to be made
to stop II.

GRAIN SHIPMENTS ARE HELD.
Estimated That 625,OOO Sacks OF
Wheat on Snake River.


at is estimated that there are
625, 900 sacks of grain occupying
space in the warehouses along the
Snake river, and owing to the market
conditions, but very little of this
grain is being moved. The condition
is causing considerable embarrass-
ment to shippers, as it will be some
tome before the delivery of the crop
can be made"
The above statements were made
last evening to a representative Of
the Statesman by e. F. Benson, who
is a businss visitor in the city from
Asotin, says the Walla Walla States
man.
"While the conditions are not Sc
rious, and l believe that the grain
movement will be we'll under way by
the end of the month, still the grain
men along the river are uneasy"
continued Mr.. Benson. "At the pres
ent time OF the year there is a third
more grain in the warehouses than
ever before and with the absence Of
the extra steamer the conditions are
not improved. Very little grain is
available for river shipment, and the
delivery of the crop will be consid-
erably later than ever"

ORIGIN OF THE PHoNoGRAPH.
How Little Things Sometimes Lead
to Big Discoveries.

No one should despise small things.
Mighty oaks grow from little acorns.
4 single idea may revolutioniZe
government. One little match makes
a million dollar fire, Just one song
may stir and start the world to sing
ing. A mistake, seemingly small
may bring into fiercest conflict vast
armies.
Many of the great inventions and
discoveries of modern times came
about through some accident. FOR
instance, a cut on the finger caused
Edison to invent the phonograph or
talking machine This is the ac-
count as given in the Young Peoples
paper;
Mr.. Edison told the story of this
Invention to a reporter. At the time
he said, he was singing into a tele-
phone, and in the telephones mouth
niece he had placed for safe keeping
fine steel point. Suddenly TINS
point cut his finger. He found to
his surprise that 1t had been moving
here and there ana IouHuupOu''
guided by the vibrations of his voice.
He placed a strip of yellow paper
under the steel point, replaced 1t in
the mouthpiece and said the alpha
bet. The steel, while he spoke ran
over the paper and for each letter OF
the alphabet it made different mark
or scratch.
This was what Mr.. Edison had
hoped for. He now held the steel
point and drew the paper scratches
slowly over 1t. There was given tortn
very family, the alphabet as he had
repeated it.
Thus the principle of the phono'
eraph-the registering and the re-
production of the voice vibrations
was discovered through the cutting o.
a finger. 1t was Edison's finger
though, that was cut. Smiths o.
Browns might have been quit
hacked off and no phonograph woul'
have resulted.-The Classmate.

WANT BETTER
STOCKYARDS
SHIPPERS COMPLAIN
OF POOR FACILITIES
II. Erickson Makes Complaint TO the
Oregon Railroad Commission Of the
Inadequate Stock Feeding Quar-
tiers at In Grande and Umatilla-
Objects 10 Long Time Required TO
Get Over the Road With Stock.

Asking that better facilities be
provided for the feeding, watering
and quartering of livestock at La
Grande and Umatllla, r. Erickson
makes complaint to the railroad COM
mission OF the conditions that, he al
leges, at present exist and particu-
larly that the o. r. & N. company
be required to furnish better rest
ing. feeding and watering facilities
at these stations and an extra train
and crew to forward the livestock
shipments through from Huntington
to points intervening to Portland,
says Salem dispatch.
Erickson, who claims to voice the
sentiments of all the stock shippers
over these lines, complains that 1t
takes about 81 hours to transfer
stock shipments from Huntington to
La Grande, with a IA hour delay at
the latter point because the train
dispatcher claims the train crews de-
mand their 10-hour rest, and the
company will not put on an extra
crew to rush the stock through.
He also claims the yards are not
large enough to accommodate the
stock and that poor watering facili-
ties and bitter alkali hay are provid-
ed the cattle. The same conditions,
he says prevail at Umatilla.
w. w. Wilson and 20 other citi-
zens of Hugo Josephine county, also
complain of lack of proper facilities
for transportation and receipt of
freight at that point and ask that
the Southern Pacific company be re-
uuired to provide a suitable freight
house.

Washington Cities to Plague Situ-

Among the many letters which
have accumulated on the official
desk of Mayor George Kellough, dur
ing his vacation trip in quest of wing
ed game, may be found the follow
ing personally addressed letter sign
ed by Governor Albert E. Mead, says
the Walla Walla Statesman:
Dear Sir:-I desire to bring your
attention to the bubonic plague situ-
alton which is of utmost importance
The plague is known to exist in one
city on Puget sound and almost every
other city and town on the coast has
direct communication with that city.
While the authorities are doing
everything possible to eradicate the
plague in Seattle, 1t is practically i'm
possible to prevent its spread unless
every board of health co-operates In
making the invasion of the disease
impossible. l urge upon you the
great necessity of observing the sug-
gestion of the United States marine
hospital service and of representa-
tives Of tbs state hoard OF health
and recommend that imme2~'e steps
be taken to clean up your commu-
nifty. Yours very truly,
ALBERT E. MEAD,
Governor.
No man has been prying into the
mayors office affairs but letters OF
similar nature have been sent tc
every city in the state having pop
ulation of over 5000, and of course
that includes Walla Walla.
