A majority of the members of PreSi-
the Pacific coast within the last two
months and Walla Walla has not had
the pleasure of entertaining, even for
a few minutes, one of the number. OF
the five members of the cabinet who
have been in the west, Walla Walla
made an effort to get one of them,
Secretary Taft, to make this city a
visit but we were too slow. The five
members of the cabinet who have
visited the state of Washington during
the past sixty days are: VIM. H. Taft,
secretary of war; Victor H. Metcalf,
secretary of the navy; James Wilson,
secretary of agriculture; JamesR. Gar
Oscar S. Strauss, secretary of COM
merce ard labor. In addition to these
five members of the presidents Off
cial family, Vice-President Fairbanks
has also visited the state and the
Garden City has been overlooked by all
of them. This is hard to account for IN
view of the fact that we~ have here

From the latest reports ii would APP
that the editorial writer on the Morn

with the Bulletin as assI'.tent editor.
ANY way we are reliably informe that
he contributed at least one editorial
article for that paper. Although, as
usual. he did not write ii himself, iit
appears that he dug i. up and Sug-
ses.c1 its publication. has all right.
We are lot Directing but we are Lot
going TO go -,.rpugh the c'.s of The
statesman ana find any of tn. Union
editorialist's old hot shots" that he
wrote and fired at the republicans
while he was the warm democratic
editor of the Statesman for eight years
under former management We realize
that he writes what he is told to Write
and is not to blame for what he does
and we are not blaming him. However,
the people of Walla Walla will look
with wide-eyed establishment on tie
spectacle of the Union and Bulletin
combining forces although they will
be glad to see them bury the Ratchet
But-what will the managers of he
Union say when they learn that their
democratic editorialist is hobnobbing
with the Bulletin and furnishing
dope for that paper?
In the first place it was rather
small thing for the editorialists to do
to get that article and attempt to apply
it to the present management of The
Statesman. The particular member of
the firm which is now publishing the
Statesman has no apology to offer for
writing that article referred to. AT
that time the business manager of
this paper was employed on the Union
accepting a bride for publishing an in
terview The article referred to was
written in condemnation of that accu-
hation and the man who wrote 1T
would say the same things again if
any member of the news staff, of the
Union, or of the Bulletin or of the
Statesman were accused of accepting
a bride for publishing an interview.
He has a higher opinion of the news
paper fraternity of Walla Walla than
to believe that any of the news writer's
would consider such a proposition and
would again as severely condemn such
an accusation.
For the editorial writer of the Union
to go back and dig up
that article written in defense
of the Union by one of the
present publishers of the Statesman
while he was employed on that paper.
and take it to the Bulletin to have it
published in an attempt to make out
that one of the present publishers Of
he Statesman had written the article
to apply to himself was a trick which
may meet with the approval of very
few, but We doubt it.
1t would be easy to come back with
many of the editorials written by the
present edi. orialist of The Union while
he was writing stuff for The States
man, which stuff was quite contrary
to the trend of the editorials now be-
ing written about Bryan, etc, but we
are not going to use such methods. He
writes what he is told to write and
what he is paid for writing and he has
a right to do so. We are going to be
fair even if others do things of which
they will later be ashamed.

SURVEY Line between
DETROIT and BEM|OJ|
Northern Pacific Surveyors Said to Be
Working on Line to Detroit
Opens Up Rich Country.

What will interest every citizen
and resident of north central Mime
sofa is the renewed interest being
taken by railroad projectors in the
survey being made along the old
Northern Pacific survey, with a
view of new line by the Northern
Pacific road to Bemidji.
1t is probable that some day in
the near future Bemidji will have
this line of railway, which will open
up one of the richest territories tri-
butary to the city. Regarding this
survey the Fargo Cal says:
"A large party of railway survey
ors are working in the vicinity of
Detroit in the direction of Bemidji,
Minnesota; and in the opinion of
business men of the former city
they are in the employ of the
Northern Pacific railway company.
The survey is being made along
the old survey made by the Northern
Pacific some years ago connecting
the two cities. While it is not prob
able that any building will be done
this year it is thought the Northern
Pacific is preparing to construct
the line in the spring. It would
open up a new territory. and cut
into the 500 business through a
large stretch of country"

unless it be shown thereby that the
entryman has, in good faith, actually
resided upon and cultivated the
land embraced in such entry for the
full period of at least fourteen
months.
This means that on all homestead
entries made after the last day o1
this month, the six months formerly
allowed as constructive residence
will not be allowed, but full fourteen
months actual residence will be re-
quired. 1t does not affect home
stead entries made prior to the first
day of November. All such entrie:
will be treated in the same manner
as they have been during the past
but all will be required to be actuall,
living upon their land at the time
they apply for notices of intention
to make Communication proofs.

which to establish residence will III
