WELL DIGGER
IS ENTOMBED
AFTER HOURS OF WORK z. ELLIS
FREED HIMSELF FROM THREAT.
ENlNG EMBANkMENT.

Eugene Ellis, of College Place. who
has for some days been employed by
]. H. Flower as a well digger, was last
night entombed by the caving in of the
walls of the we'll.
The accident occurred at Sis yes
terday afternoon and it was not until
$50 that the unfortunate man was
found Nearer dead than alive when
help reached him, he was compelled
to dig himself out and it was only af-
ter hours of hard work that he was
able to do so.
When Ellis was first found he had
his arm fastened III by the dirt and
half hour was occupied in freeing it.
When he was able to work tools were
passed to him and he began the Her
culean task of excavating himself. At
ter more than three hours of strenu-
Gus work the unfortunate man freed
himself and at $50 was drawn to the
top of the we'll.
Though exhausted by the almost SUI
perhuman efforts to free himself, ELS
is little worse for his experience and
today is able to be about. He expects
to go to work again in few days.

That willamette valley mills under all

that the capacity of all the roads in

that the northern roads have furnished
more cars to their shippers relatively

for the business offering along their re-
spective lines; that the mills of Ore
gOn, so far as respects moving their
product is concerned. are in worse
condition than the mills of Washing

relief could result from granting the
prayer of the complaint: Oh the con-
trary, the present difficulties would be

TO KEEP OUT
WASHINGTON MEN
PROPOSAL OF EQUAL RATES
FOR MILL MEN.

A determined fight will be made by
Oregon lumber mill men against the
attempt on the part of western WASH
ington shippers to open the Portland
gateway to the east for Washington
mill products. 1t is said any addition
al burden placed upon the Union Pa
cific's carrying facilities at this time
would damage to that extent the mill
interests of Oregon, which are already
handicapped by lack of cars and mo-
tive power.
Following the recent application by
Washington numbering interests to the
Interstate commerce commission to
compel the making of a through rate
east via the Portland gateway for
Puget sound shipments, the Oregon
millmen employed Teal & Minor as
counsel to resist the application. They
filed Intervention proceedings, and
their action will become known as the
Portland Gateway case. Teal & Minor
have just forwarded their brief to the
suant to an agreement among the OPP
posing attorneys that the case should
be argued by brief.
The Washington millmen claim that
they are unable to secure adequate
outlet for their products via the north
ern lines, and they demand the same
rates to eastern common points over
the O. r. & n. and Union Pacific sys-
tenn and their connections. The Port
land attorneys in their brief set out
many reasons why the Oregon rail
route should not be appropriated by
Washington shippers. Perhaps the
strongest of these is that the Wash
ington mills already have the Northern
Pacific, Great Northern, Canadian
Pacific and Burlington routes to the
east, while oregon shippers must de-
pend almost wholly upon the Union
Pacific alone
On behalf of the Oregon millmen
their attorneys argue that direct and
feasible, and, within the meaning of
the law, reasonable and satisfactory,
through routes and joint rates now ex-
list from western Washington to the
territory mentioned in the complaint
that no corresponding through routes
or joint rates exist from Portland via
northern roads. By the Great North
ern Portland can get into St. Paul

GARDEN CITY
SCHOOLS Open
/ STUDENTS ARE BUSY BUYING
BOOKS FOR WORK
THIS YEAR.

School opened today but nothing
more was done than to register the
students and organize the different
grades and departments. Many stu
dents reported at the school buildings
today to secure information as to their
books and other necessaries for the
coming year.
Land office business was done at the
bookstores today as the result OF the
opening of the city schools and every
student in town is busy this after
noon buying the articles teacher die
tated.
The instructors of the various
schools expressed themselves as well
pleased over the results of the first
days showing, although it is, as yet,
quite impossible to tell just what the
registration will be for the year. But
it is safe to say that it will show a
healthy growth from the registration
figures of last year.
Prospects for a greater enrolment
are not the only developments WHICH
raise hopes in the local schools. While
the larger registrati ton is direct re-
suit, it is gratifying to notice the per
centage of students from autside the
city who are coming here to attend
the schools of Walla Walla. Especially
is this true in the high school and up
per grades of the grammar schools.
The number of such outside students
has increased from year to year and
the increase this year promises to be
greater than ever before.
Walla Walla schools have a repu-
tation worthy of the city and of the
schools the city is justly proud.
With the men who are at the head Of
the schools in the city and with the
aid of their efficient corps Of teachers.
it is safe to predict that this year will
be the biggest one in the school his
tory.
