SEWER NOTES.

The sewer contractor during the
month of Octoper laid 1880 feet of
tile pipe and 1900 feet of six inch iron
pipe and built forty-nine manholes.
Work is now proceeding on Morris
street and avenue, Washington ave-
nue., George street and Speedwell ave
nue.. 1t is planned to start another
gang on Speedwell avenue at the Park

object of finishing up that thorough
fare.
The ejector chamber on James
street has been excavated to the prop
er depth and it is planned to start con-
creting on Saturday. The South
street ejector chamber will be started
on Monday and it is planned to start
the one on the Simeon Cory road next
week. With these chambers up it
will be possible to put in the machin-
cry during the winter. The Wetmore
avenue chamber filled with water
again on Wednesday.
Work on the trenches will be car

Others presented their side Of the case.
The chairman announced that oppor-
tunity would be given for questions,
etc. Frank Ambrose, of the West
End Hotel, asked to speak, and as a
large majority of the audience voted
to hear him and he presented the
liquor dealers side of the case. While
Mr.. Burke was speaking note was
sent up asking for permission to
answer some of his statements, and
Mr.. Disbrow made astatement setting
forth his personal knowledge of the af-
fair which was fat contradiction OF
some of the charges. Later DR.. Glaze
brook made statement in regard to
Mr.. Buxton's illness.
From talk on the streets and the
vote cast, the anti-saloon people would
have been better off if their meetings
had been omitted. The unfair state
ments helped rather than hurt Mr.,
Buxton.

The Local option Debate.

The Anti-Saloon League campaign
for the defeat OF Mr.. Buxton and incl
dentally to promote local option has
added considerably to the gaiety Of
nations in the last few days. At the
Baptist Church, on Sunday morning,
the pastor felt called upon to speak in
defence OF Mr.. Burke, and in doing so
severely censured Mr.. Buxton. AT the
close OF his remarks II. G. Disbfow
asked permission to correct erroneous
statements, and presented the other
side of the case in an emphatic man
ner.
On Monday evening meeting was
held In the Lyceum, at which Rev,

Mrs.Julius catlin,s Horses in Manhol

MrS.J uliuS CatI1n' - Horses in Manhole
A horse belonging to Mrs. julius
Catlin died on Saturday night as the
result of exhaustion following falling
into a hole for a manhole on Franklin
street. From all accounts the coach
man was driving rather slowly ex-
pecting to stop at the residence of
Mrs. Shaw. Some way or other he
drove over pile OF dirt surrounding
the open manhole and right into the
hole. One horse was taken out not
much the worse for his experience,
while the other died after removal
from the hole. The affair happened
about quarter past five O'Clock. TIL.
Meskill, who has charge of the digging,
and John Kennedy, his foreman, were
on Elm street at the time looking
after the lights at the manholes and
open bitches, and their lamplighter
had not as yet reached the Franklin
street work. The digging contractor
is responsible for the damages.

Harvesting is now in full blast east

ENORMOUS CROP
FOR WASHINGTON
STATE GRAIN INSPECTOR PRE-
PARES FIGURES ON YIELD
FOR THIS SEASON..

Washington will produce more than
$4,000, 900 bushels of wheat, according
to an estimate of the crop made by
Chief Deputy State Grain Inspector
S. S. King, based on information that
he has received during the last two
weeks from nearly every section OF
the state. His estimate does not IN
clude Asotin. Benton, Klickitat and
Yakima counties. This afternoon Mr..
King leaves for eastern washington
to complete his figures which are the
highest vet made, says a Tacoma dis
patch. Most of the local grain dealers
placed the yield at from 30,00O,OO0 to
S5,OOO,000 bushels
Some time ago Mr.. King sent let
tiers to the prominent grain dealers and
wheat growers and 40 replies have been
received. Only two of the writer's placed
the yield at less than 20 bushels to an
acre some placed the yield at from 81
to so bushels an acre.
One of those two letters came from
Coulee City, in the Great Bend country
Douglas county, where they had late
frost and two crops of grasshoppers
The production was placed at Is BUSH
els an acre. From other parts OF
Douglas county, Mr. King received the
information that the wheat would go
from 20 to % bushels an acre.
The other discouraging report comes
from the section tributary to the
Horse Heaven country, Benton county
Mr.. King estimates the yields of the
different counties as follows:

growth, thus avoiding the expenses Of
replacing them in a few years. 1 rec
ommend, in view of the financial con-
dition of the water department, that
no mains be laid until the superin-
tendent has submitted an estimate of
the cost and an estimate of the rev.
enue to be derived from such extern
sion. 1 further recommend that you
meet at least once month and audit
all bills, authorize all expenditures and
contracts
l believe this department should be
kept as separate as possible from the
other departments of the city. In the
past, when this department was short
of funds, warrant was drawn on the
general fund to supply it's needs. This
should not be allowed. This depart
ment should meet all of it's own obli-
cations for running expenses, interest
and a payment every year upon the
principal of the bonded indebtedness.
A sum of at least $2,5OO00 should be
SCI GdIH q SPCSiti luna
to apply on interest and principal of
outstanding bonds. In order to do this
it will be necessary to limit the extern
sions of water mains so as to keep,
them within the income of the depart
ment. Such problems will take good
deal of your time and attention, but
they must be worked out in order to
give the taxpayer what he expects at
your hands.
When the sewer system was con-
structed the people authorized the is
suance of bonds against the pledge of
the revenues of the water department,
but the time has come when the pay
ment of the cost Of extensions Of
sewers from the water department
revenues will have to be stopped. The
ers now confrOnts us if we are to give
the people the needed service. 1t is
impossible to rebuild these mains from
the revenues of the water dpartmnt
and at the same time meet the other
obligations that are made upon this
revenue. l WOuiQ recommend tHdC the
sewers be put under a different sys-
tenn and that extensions be made by
creating special assessment districts
on the local Improvement plan.
Conclusion.
Having taken up the city's affairs
to the best of my ability you see
that there is much work ahead of you.
Many improvements and reforms are
essential to the welfare of the city
Take hold of the citys affairs III a.
businesslike manner, consider in a
calm and deliberate manner each
phase of every proposition that pre-
sents itself to you, so that at the end
of the fiscal year you will receive the
endorsement of every good citizen, and
know III your own mind that you have
performed your duty to the best of
your ability.

new UNIFORMS FOR POLICE
ON OMMENDATION OF CHIEF
DAVIS COUNCIL ORDERS
HANDSOME REGALIA.

With brand new uniforms, brand new
helmets and brand new clubs the Walla
Walla police force will be in a posi-
ton to carry off any and every prize
for handsome men. The council on the
recommendation of Chief Davis last
night took steps to provide the local
policemen with the above equipment.
That is, it consented to buy the he'll
NETS and billies after Councilman Tau
sick had made a short but effective
plea. saying that Chief Davis had
gathered about him a set of fine look
ing men and that it was no more than
right they should be dressed accord
ingly. Tausick's motion that the coun-
ell invest in II billies and II helmets
for the police department passed with
out opposition.
The uniforms, which will be ordered
at once, will be of dark blue color The
helmets will be numbered with the
exception of the day and night SER
geants which will bear the abbrevIa-
ton, "Sergt.'

ROW OVER ICE CREAM,
Charles Andrews Has Warrant Issued
for L. Meador.

Because he had been walloped
across the back with a board, Chas
Andrews, who runs an ice cream stand
at Meador Park, today swore out a
warrant for the arrest Of Lincoln
Meador, owner of the Meador Park
site.
According to Andrews story. he had
left his ice cream stand, and had gone
over to the sandwich counter to get
ham and, but had scarcely given
his order when Meador. who happened
near. attacked him from the rear with
good sized piece of board. A mixup
followed
The trial has been set for tomorrow
at o'clock.
Back of the trouble between Meador
and Andrews it is said a bit of a story
lies. 1t seems that Andrews, since the
park has opened, has maintained an
ice cream stand, from which, though
1t was on his own land and he therefore
dld not have to pay the street car
company, which has leased the park
Tor a concession. he reaped all the
benefits accruing from crowds which
throng the parks and really did as
large a business as did the stands
which paid for the right to sell their
wares. This, it is said, resulted in
bad blood between Meader and An
drews

ALL THE SAME
AS WALLA WALLA
IDAHO WOMEN FOLLOW EXAMPLE
SET LAST YEAR BY GAR.
DEN CITY MAIDENS.

Wives ard daughters of wealthy
farmers in the Nez Perez prairie and
Camas prairie sections are actively en-
gagged in the harvest work in an en-
deavor to save the crops. says a Lew
iston dispatch. The labor shortage in
part of eastern Washington and north
ern Idaho has made this move on the
part of the farmers necessary and in
several instances girls from the coun-
try who have been engaged in domestic
work in the city have returned home to
assist in the harvest.
The harvest in the Nez Perces and
Camas prairie sections is the largest
this year in it's history. the estimate
of grain dealers placing the produc-
ton of this country at 100000 BUSH
els. The frequent rains of the late
spring and early summer have caused
the crop to ripen at about the same
time, which taken with the labor fam
inc which has existed for the past
year, has placed the farmers in seri-
Gus predicament
The combination of circumstances
has appealed particularly to the wom-
Ell of the country and as result
large number have proffered their SER
vices during the harvest season and
the results are entirely satisfactory. In
many instances the work of the women
is claimed to be more satisfactory
than that of many of the men who are
generally available during the harvest
season.
Walla Walla society girls We're in
the harvest fields last year, but al
though crops are larger, the scarcity
of labor has not made necessary a re-
petition of this novel feature.

Liquor Licenses,

A renewal of liquor license was

saloon and to E. B. Miller & Co. for

ing last night.

he thought he could have the bond
ready by today. The council granted
the renewal providing the bond was
satisfactory to the city attorney.
