POLITICAL INSINCERITY.

That the primary law which will be
enacted at the present session Of the
legislature will not be much different
from the provisions contained in the
two bills which have passed the house
and senate respectively can not be
questioned. Some of the history of
that legislation will be interesting.
One of the things for which the So
called insurgent wing of the republic
can party has contended is that the
selection of United States senators
should be left to vote of the people
of the state, and in this contention
the Evening Times has always hearth
ly concurred. 1t has believed that in
the changed. conditions the voice of
the people in the selection Of these
officials should be heard.
The Sorley bill which passed the
house and which is claimed as an in
surgent measure, contains the follow
ing provision relative to the selection
of United States senator's: The can
didate receiving the highest number of
votes for the Office of United States
senator shall be the nominee of his
party at the succeeding session of the
legislative assembly which is to elect
United States senator"
The Sharp bill which came from the
senate, which body is charged with
being in the control of the stalwart
wing of the republican party, not only
provides for the selection of senatorial
candidates at the primary election but
makes provision for carrying the selec-
ton into effect by requiring the can
didates of the party for the two
branches of the legislature to pledge
themselves to vote for the candidate
SO named, or if he does not care to do
so state to his constituents before
the election +. The provision of the
Sharpe bill reads as follows:
81 the undersigned, a candidate for
the legislative assembly of the state
OF North Dakota, do obligate myself
to the people Of the state of North
Dakota and to the people of my lcg1s-
lative district that during my term
of office will support and vote for that
candidate for United States senator in
congress of the party of which am

The insurgents. of the house have
completely drawn the line on organ
lied labor in this state by their ~
fusal to make labor day legal ho.:-
day. The bill for this purpose psss-:
the senate but was defeated in the
house. 1t would look as though the
house had little respect for the man
who wears overhalls, as it voted down
a resolution of thanks to those who
had been working for days in shoveling
snow from the railroad tracks in Or
der that the people of the state could
be supplied with fuel and food. And
then on top of this it refused to re-
cognize the only honor the law MAX
ers of the country have ever given to
organized labor, by making Labor day
legal holiday.

Senator Crane of Cooperstown has
introduced in the senate a bill, which,
while of more or less petty makeup,
carries with it a plan of much merit.
The measure provides for the exclus-
ion from all pool rooms and billiard
halls, of youths who are enrolled in
the states high schools and public
schools. Any legislation tending to
improve the morals of our young peo-
pie and remove them from temptation
should receive the endorsement of
legislators.

Sorley was passed with fifty-four ayes

the cause of the only fight in the house
during the morning session. 1t pro-
vides that the governor, state auditor
and attorney general, together with
the county auditor of the several coun-
ties shall constitute the state equaliza-
ton board. Mr.. Stevens objected to
the bill on the grounds that it created
a cumbersome board and that it would
not accomplish any purpose other than
that which is now secured under the
present law. During a debate between
Mr.. Stevens and Mr. Sorley some spicy
remarks were passed. Mr.. Stevens
was arguing that II it was the purpose
to secure a higher assessment of the
railroads the majority should bring In
a bill to that effect and stated that
he would vote for 1t with pleasure.

next preceding the election of United
States senators in congress"
The difference between the vigorous
methods of securing the election of
United States senators according to
the verdict of the people under the
Sharpe bill, and the weak. insipid and
meaningless provision Of the Sorley
bill is so apparent that it would lead
reasonable man to conclude that the
so-called political reform element in
the state was afraid to trust the pee
pie in the selection OF these officials.

THREE MONTHS
WITHOUT TRIAL
MAN ACCUSED OF FORGERY is
DISMISSED ON MOTION OF
ATTORNEY.

j. Is. Henderson, who is alleged to
have passed forged check on Jean
Patras for SIS last November and who
for the past three months has been
confined in the county Jail without IL
hearing was dismissed by Judge Huff
man this morning upon motion by
his counsel, Attorney Cain, to which
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney McDon-
aid, representing the state. offered no
objection.
According to the report of Hender-
sons offense given out at the police
court, Henderson, at the time of forg-
ing the check was intoxicated. He
had been drinking heavily and spend
ing freely al the depot saloon which
was run by Patras.
He spent all his money there and
remarked to Patras that he was
broke" Whereupon Patras advised:
Henderson his check was good. Hem
derson then drew a check against the
Ladd & Tilton bank for $15 This
Patras cashed and Henderson imme-
with Patras.
The next day Henderson left the
city and going to Oregon City secured
a responsible position with the Salem
Woolen Mills where he worked until
he was arrested by Sheriff Haviland

he was earning over 500 per month,
was well thought of and intended to
be married soon.
He was brought to Walla Walla and

There is some speculation among
police circles as to whether Abe Huff
man, who has been in Jail without a
hearing since Friday, will receive sim

cal express driver, accuses Huffman
of illegally appropriating funds while
in Preston's employ.

WELL
FOR FRUIT FARM
WORK STARTED TODAY EY BLA-
LOCK COMPANY TO STRIKE
FLOW OF WATER.

To the numerous recent improve
ments which have been made at the
Blalock Fruit farm will shortly be
added that of an artesian well, as
drilling for the same was started this
morning. This afternoon the drill had
reached a depth of something over
20 feet The work is in charge of
William S. McCausland of this city.
The machinery for drilling the well,
all of which was purchased in Walla
Walla, was taken to the farm last Sat
urday.
The purpose of the we'll will be to
supply the ranch and stock with water
and also to supply water for irriga-
ton purposes. 1t is the present inten
ton to drill to a depth of about 500
feet. but should the desired flow of
water not be found at this depth, drill
ing will be continued to much greater
depth.
1t will cost approximately $2500 10
as to the time it will take to drill it,
this depending entirely on the char
acter of the earth stratas through
which the drill will pass. The drill
ing may consume two months or may
be completed in that many weeks.
Saturday the new dryer was put in
operation and it is estimated that 1G
cars of apples and as many cars of
prunes will be dried in it this season.
An addition which was recently bull;
to the vinegar factory now gives the
factory capacity of 100000 gallons Of
apple vinigar per year and a like
amount of prune vinegar.
The factory is now in full operation
and is using half a car of apples per
day and nearly the same amount OF
prunes
A concrete building for the storage
of fruit and vegetables is being built
and wafl probably be completed next
week The new store house measures
5OX125 feet and is a two story struc-
ture Completed it will cost $4,000
Seventy five cars ST green prunes have
been shipped by the Blalock Fruit
company to eastern points. this season
the greater part going to Chicago and
New York and some to London. Sev
eral cars of pears have also been
shipped east.
over a car of gerkin pickles have
been put up and will be placed on

bage and expects to make 4500 barrels

EVERYBODY PAYS
EVEN POLICEMEN
NO ONE RIDES FREE ON ACCOUNT
OF RULING OF INTERSTATE
COMMISSION.

IN passing the law prohibiting the
yrarting of free transportation to
ther than employees by all Interstate
common carriers. the United States
Railroad commission unwittingly tram
pied on the toes of Walla Waila po
licemen, Walla Valla mail carriers
ana Walla Walla fremen, for by vir-
tue of this law, the Walla V'aIla VAL
ley Traction company is prohibited
from carrying free of charge tne
anove named oi+v and government Of
ficials.
While this law has been in effect
for some time it was not enforced by
the traction company until last Sun
day. Then to their amaZement the po-
lice and other Officials discovered that
their erstWhile sacred right to gaze
thoughtfully out of the street car win
dow while the common herd dug deep
for the big round nickel had been
taken from them and that they too,
regardless of the dignity of star or
office, must also contribute to the ex
pense fund of the traction company.
The awakening to the new order of
things came as a decided shock. It
was first thought that it all must be
a mistake, but investigation dashed
this hope and when the starred blue
coat boards a car he is separated from
his nicllle as ruthlessly as before he
was appointed to the force.
One patrolman in commenting on
this said he was never more surprised
than when the horney hand of the
fare collector was showed out at him
yesterday evening. 1t was pointed out
that in every known city in America
where anybody owns a street car line,
free rides upon same were considered
undisputed perquisites of the police,
in fact were reckoned as a part of the
regular salary.
From the traction company's stand
point, however the matter of eleIni-
mating the free rides is a Geld b!ooded
business proposition.
The company has the choice of
abolishing passes and free rides oper-
ating the city system separately rom
the interurban system or operating in
defiance of the rulings of the United
States Railroad commission.
1t has adopted the line of action
first mentioned.
Some are inclined to think that as
a matter of accommodation the com
pany might operate its city system sep
arate from the interurban system
which makes the company an inter-
state carrier and lays it liable to the
laws governing such. 1t is pointed
out however, that to do so would
necesstate the keeping of an entirely
separate set of books for the city line,
thereby adding the expense of an ad-
ditional office force to keep the same.
AS it is. the interstate laws have add
ed considerably to the office work in
the demand that exhaustive reports
concerning the operation of the line be
made annually
