WAI.A WALLA WILL BUILD LINE
Municipal Car Line to the FAR
Grounds Planned.


Because the Walla Walla Valley
Traction company decides not to
build a line to the fair grounds, the
directors of the fair association have
taken the matter in hand and will
build the line, says the Walla Wal
la Statesman.
I. w. Anderson, president of the
traction company, was in the city and
was consulted about the matter He
stated the finances of his company
were such 1t could not build the de-
sired road this fall and gave no defi-
mite promises as to any future ac-
ton.
Thereupon the directors of the fair
association met the same night and
decided to ask the city for a fran
chise to build the road. The success
of the lines already in operation con-
vinces them that the new road vii
pay and especially in the time Of the
fair ought such a road to be mon
ey maker.

in that section are in excellent condi-

some of the later grain to be injured
by the hot weather, especially by hot
winds. However, the hot winds have
not appeared yet and as they have
not visited this county for many

SEEKS PAY FOR FIRE LOSSES.
Government Sues Corvallis and East
ern for Burned Timber.

Government Sues Corvallis and East
ern for Burned Timber.
That the government intends to
make strong effort to collect its bill
of $10,703 against the Covallis &
Eastern for the burning of timber
along the railroads right of way in
the Cascade reserve was shown by a
statement in the United States cir
cult court by United States Attorney
William C. Bristol this morning
when the matter was brought be-
fore the court by Assistant United
States Attorney James Cole, says the
oregon Daily Journal.
Mr.. Cole brought suit against the
Corvallis & Eastern several weeks
ago to recover for the burned tim
ber, the destruction of which Is al
legged to have been due to the fall
ure of the company to keep its right
of way clean and free from refuse.
The company had been properly no
titled to keep its right Of day cleared,
but It is alleged failed to do so and
since the fires occurred refused to
settle with the government for the
property loss.
The fires which II Is alleged were
due to the negligence of the COM
pany occurred in July and August,
1906, at Berry, Oregon, and in the
Sardine mountains, and destroyed
13,161 900 feet of timber.

MAY BUY o. II. & n. BRANCH.
Spokane & Inland May Buy Moscow
Short Line.

From Moscow and Colfax comes the
report that the Spokane & Inland has
purchased the o. r. & n. right of way
and track from Colfax to Moscow.
and that before another year this line
will be used TO carry traction cars to
the Idaho town, says the Spokane
Chronicle.
At the Inland Empire office in this
city it was stated that no deal for the
line had been closed, though II was
acknowledged that such plan is be-
ing considered. 'a
While Moscow is to be connected
with Palouse and Rosalla, yet the line
to Colfax will give the company the
control of the entire Palouse country,
and VII give it the shortest route to
Spokane, 1t is pointed out by those
ipterested IN Colfax that this line will
open up to the Spokane & Inland a
territory which it will then have as
exclusively its own.
1t has been rumored for the past
two years that the line from Colfax
to Moscow was not paying PROPOSE
ton for the o. r. & n. 1t was run
to Moscow as opposition to the North
ern Pacific, but the age of competi-
ton in raIlroading in the northwest
is about past, so the original objects
of the branch fill the bill at the pres
ent time.

Though it has been maintained that

Miss Matte ingalls,, who arrived In

how the women of the country have
been unjustly deprived of that equal
ity to which they are justly entitled
by right of intellectual attainment and
other considerations and demand
from congress and all of the men of
the land who are entitled to vote that
the matter be remedied.

No two dairymen in the country will
agree upon the amount of salt that
should be given to each COW every day,
says Denver Field and Farm. The
most successful dairyman we know
gives four ounces daily to each Of his
COWS mixed with the feed. They eat
their food better, and the owner thinks
they do better when given this amount
than when the allowance is smaller.
The cows are fed three times a day,
and the salt is divided equally in the
three feeds. Fine table salt is invaria-
bly, used, for the cows prefer it to
coarse salt. We always had an old
fashioned notion that the cows them
selves should settle this matter Of
quantity by being allowed to run to a
big lump of stock salt and thus help
themselves just as they pleased, and in
like sophistry the animals should have
free access to as much water as they
may care to drink.
