WALA WALA hits MILTON HARD "

After having worked tile Milton
district to a finish for years, Walla
Walla has now passed a $200-per-year
peddlers' license which will keel
Milton fruit peddlers out of the Gar
den City.
The people of Milton are invited to
come to Pendleton to market their
produce. They will be treated right
The Milton Eagle says of Walla wal
las unfair action:
The impression is rapidly chrys-
tallzing into conviction that the Ore
gon end of the valley has been ex-
plotted by a majority of the business
institutions of Walla Walla so long
that the film flam process has be-
come a by-word and josh among
the more observing of our people,
For years Milton and this immediate
vicinity has spent in Walla Walla for
merchandise or other stuff between
one-half and a million dollars annu-
ally. Every car on the interurban
road entering Walla Walla contains
one or more from this section who
spend more or less money In the
penitentiary town.
As a return for this golden har-
vest the city's misrepresentation
have conceived the brilliant idea that
one more turn of the screw will yield
few more nickles as a tribute, and
the passage of an ordinance compell-
ing every fruit peddler and vendor OF
vegetables from the Oregon side OF
the line to take out 5000 license to
dispose of his truck in the peniten-
tiary town, is the result.
Everything appears to be fish that
becomes entangled in Walla Walla's
net.
Peddlers Are Barred.
From a recent estimate Of County
Fruit Inspector Evans, about 20 per
cent of the fruit grown in this dis
trict is handled by fruit peddlers,
large and small, and a considerable
portion Of this amount has in the
past been sold in Washington because
OF its superior quality ana exemption
from infection has heretofore found
a ready market
1t is apparent the penitentiary
town is not quite content with the
golden tribute poured into the strong
boxes of the business concerns OF
that place and the itching palm Of
avarice and greed is once more ex-
tended and the wall goes up for
more! morell more!! And they will
get tin the neck, IL those with
whom we have talked on the subject
carry out their Intentions.
Have 'cMiIked" Milton Well.
The merchants of Walla. Walla have
enjoyed this valuable trade for years
without solicitation and without the
expenditure of a dollar. comparative
ly, to secure and retain 1t. For all
practical purposes Milton, Freewater
and other localities In this valley on
the line of the interurban are as II

Commissioner Beck Complies Figures
Of Value to Wisconsin Farmers.
In the forthcoming biennial report
of the commissioner of the state bu-
reau of labor and industrial statistics,
J. d. Beck, will be found certain fig
ureS that are of peculiar interest tn
persons contemplating seeking homes
on cheap lands, either in the North
western states or in Canada. 1t stands
to reason that any man contemplating
an experiment of this character will
want to know something of the agricul-
tural history of the several states Of
fering inducements to homeseekerS to
settle within their borders and he
would like to secure his information
from a reliable source.
Commissioner Beck, in pursuance Of
his duties as state statiStician. has
made computations of the average
production per acre of agricultural
lands in a group of Middle Western
states of certain staple agricultural
products. He also has aScertained
the prices per bushel realized by the
producers on those commodities. FL
nally he has figured the earnings per
acre All Of these statistics. in order
to make them OF permanent value,
have been put in the form of averages
for term of ten years. from 1896 tn
1905, inclusive
From advanced sheets of Commits
sioner Becks report the following fig
ures have been selected showing the
average earnings an acre of the agri-
cultural lands in states lying west or
the Mississippi river, as compared
with the same earnings Of Wisconsin
lands for the term of years mentioned.
The only exception to this rule is
found in the column under the head OF

years, the returns for 1905 being alone
