GROWERS NOW THREATEN
TO CUT OUT CROP NEXT YEAR
Remarkable Meeting at sheIbyville,
Where an Impassioned Speech Was
Made by Harry Messenger, a Mil
Iionaire Tobacco Grower.
Associated Press.

Louisville, October 30.-The tobac-
co situation in Kentucky appears to
be serious tonight. Bodies of grow
ers claiming to be members of the
American Society of Equity are riding
through Mclean County notifying buy
ers to quit the tobacco fields until the
1906 crop is sold and urging the grow
ers to pool their crops with the society.
In many instances the buyers have
agreed to quit, and majority of the
growers express the determination to
pool their crops.
The growers announce their deter
mination to carry their points, and
buyers announce their firmness not
to be bluffed into taking any action
detrimental to their interests.
Every warehouse in Henderson and
Owensboro is guarded tonight by
armed men. Although the growers de-
clare they will pursue no lawless meth
DDS, the people of the stemming dis
trict find 1t difficult to believe there
will be no trouble.
One of the most remarkable meet
ings in some time was that of the Ma
tional Association of Tobacco Grow
ers at Shelbyville today with $500 t.
5000 in attendance.
The association ratified the actor
of the Burley Tobacco Growers Asso
citation, which decided to raise no crol
next year. One of the features of thu
meeting was speech by Harry Weis
singer, the multi-millionaire planter
formerly connected with the American
Tobacco Company, in which he ad
vised the growers to "cut OUT tn
crop for next year.

new BANK rule
WORKS like CHARM

The new bank rule established by
local banks, forbidding depositors to
draw out more than $25 per day, is
working very satisfactorily, and no
complaints nave been neard thus far.
All manufacturing concerns am in
fact all mercantile concerns, hot bis,
etc, and every business that pays off
weekly, is, of course, exempted from
the operation of the rule. 1t is not
the purpose of the banks to keep any
money out of circulation, but on the
contrary to preserve confidence, by
making panic impossible, and to
keep money in circulation. The ebank
ers, as was stated by one of the Oldest
financiers of the city, have taken ex
actly the course which the situation
requices. Every depositor is now as
sure hat there can be no such thint
as "a4un on the banks" and that hi'
money Is perfectly. safe. This conf
dence tends to keep UP the usual vol
ume Of currency, since with a banl
raid out of the question, there is n
reason for hiding out the cash.

Enos A. Mills, lecturer for the for
estry department Of the United

paper.
Mr.. Mills suggests that in all of the
public schools one OF the teachers
devote one period each week to the
study OF forestry with the pupils, that
the children be assigned some tree
to study, and that essays on this sub
ject be written by the pupils as a
part of their rhetorical work.
"You can not teach patriotism in
the abstract to the children of the
schools" says Mr.. Mills, but you
can teach them to love the things
about our country that are beautiful
/ have never known a nature lover
who was a CRATER. All truly great
men are lovers OF nature. and rec
ognlze in the trees force for good"
Mr.. Mills also suggests that II
would be a good idea for the state
of Washington to have a forestry
commission, and to have a chair OF
forestry placed in the state unlver-
sity and college.
'T want to save the trees of the
United States. and to replace them
with fast-growing species when they
have reached their maturity. The
scientific study of forestry is what we
need, in order that we may use our
forests without abusing them. We
can get nearly as much good out OF
our forests as we now are without de-
pleting them" stated Mr.. Mills.
Mr.. Mills while in the city is the
guest of the chamber OF commerce.
In order that the ideas in his lecture
this evening may reach the children
of the city Mr.. Mills has extended
special invitation to all OF the teach
ers OF the high and public schools.

LINE FOR BLUE MOUNTAINS.
Walla Walla Traction Company to
Build Electric Road.

That the Washington & Oregon
Traction company would begin active
operations on the construction of ar
electric line through Walla Walla
within four months If the ordinance
submitted to the consideration of the
city council granting the company
the privilege of constructing their
tracks through certain streets of this
city is passed, was stated last night
by Attorney John L. Sharpstein, as
he presented the ordinance TO the
council, says the Walla Walla Union.
The ordinance provides for a
franchise to be granted the traction
company to construct an electric rail-
way or other modern system of
transportation, excepting steam
road, on Ninth street from the south
line of the city to Hesse and west on
Hesse to the city limits, and on
Popular from Eleventh to Second
streets. The matter was referred to
the street committee.
The right of way on all but two
farms east between Walla walla and
the Blue mountains has been obtain
ed by the company and on these two
farms the consent is contingent on
the construction OF the line.
The proposed route as surveyed by
agents Of the company will run up
Mill creek to Cottonwood creek and
along the south bank of that stream
TO the Blue mountains, eventually
reaching the government meadows.
The remarks of the attorney were
noncommittal on the probable dlrec-
ton of the road leaving walla walla
westward.

 The primary cause Of the trouple' according to these traffic experts, IS found in the marvellous development or commercial activity without core soonding increase in the facilities of the railroads or the shippers to care for the unprecedented increase in traf- fic.
 "After the bitter experience Of the nineties~ says Mir. J. A. Munroe, freight traffic manager of the Union Paclnc railroad. when many railroads, and some of them important trunk lines, went into hanl ruptcy for lack of busi- ness, it is not surprising that. when the business began to move in quanti- ties approaching the old normal condi- tions the owners of these properties should measure conservatiyely the re- ouirements necessary, and that tneir business should continue to increase wear after year was not expected py either the owners of the railroads or the commercial interests of the country to the extent of it's fulfllment.
 The remedies suggest the adoption or every possible time and labor saving de- vice by both railroads and shippers, the nlacing of orders by merchants as Tar in advance as possible, and greater ex- neditjon in the handling of empty cars.

 ''To overcome the difficulties the pub- lie will have to realize that 1t is neces- sary for them to cooperate with the railroad companies to get proper serv- ice and prompt handling of the freight business. insuring them sufficient num- Der of cars to transact the normal busi- ness.
