Law Pretty Well Enforced.

1 am told here that the law Is pretty
web enforced, and is quite as effective as
the laws against other crimes and vices.
Prohibition will not prohibit the sale of
liquor any more than-the law prohibiting
stealing will abolish grand and petty
larceny. Whisky Is still sold in drug
stores, in blind tigers and elsewhere on
the side. Not long ago the sexton of a
church in Charlotte was caught selling
whisky to negroes in the basement Of
that sacred edifice, and a stock broker,
a descendant of one of the signers of the
Declaration of independence Is now
under indictment for serving liquid re-
freshments to the bulls and bears that
frequented his place. The courts fine
offenders heavily and send many of them
to jail. They are particularly severe
upon negroes who are the chief objects
OF the law. If man is found drunk he
is arrested and locked up until he tells
where he got his liquor and the seller Is
convicted upon his evidence and punished
so severely that no prudent man will take
the chances of selling to strangers
Clubs have been organized to evade the
law, but they are under surveillance, and.

ORCHARD'SSTORY
RECALLS CRIME
Says He Obtained COmmut-
alton for Wetter Who
Killed Long

WALLA WALLA. June 20.-By the
testimony of Harry Orchard, given In
the Haywood trial in Boise last week,
in which he told Of his appeal to Gov
ernor Gooding of Idaho for reprieve of
Bob Wetter, and Of how he succeeded
in procuring a Communication of his
death sentence to one of life impris-
onment, recalls to many Walla Wall
lans the crime for which Wetter was
convicted and sentenced.
Chris Long, for many years a resi-
dent of Walla Walla, was the victim
of Bob wetter, who shot his man from
ambush and also shot the son of the
murdered man. However. the son was
only wounded in the arm and recov-
cred from the injury.
After working at the butcher BUSH
ness in this city for number of
years with Gus Harras, Long went to
Idaho, where he engaged in the mining
business, having interests In that
country. He received notice several
times to leave his possessions. but re-
manned to take care OF his interests.
One day while prospecting with his
son Long was shot and killed by a
man hiding in the brush. His son was
also shot but the bullet took effect in
the arm. Bob Wetter was tried and
convicted of the crime and sentenced
to the death penalty.
Harry Orchard and others interced-
ed in his behalf with Governor Good
ing and secured a stay CT execution,
and later the sentence was conluuted
to life Imprisonment.
Chris Long was. well Known in this
city and at the time of his being muir
dered was interested in mines with
other Walla waIIa citizens.

THOMPSON
GIVEN HIS CELL
Slayer Of Judge In Ward
For Criminal Insane at
Penitentiary

WALLA WALLA, June 2o.-Chester
Thompson, slayer Of Judge Emory OF
Seattle, is now in the state peniten-
terday morning by Travelling Esta-
brook of that prison. Young Thomp-
son was accompanied to Walla walla
by his brother, Maurice Thompson,
and the youthful murderer was prac-
tically in charge Of his elder brother,
who is a railway conductor.
Chester was taken Immediately
from the train to the prison, and is
now confined in Wing of the institu-
ton, which has been set apart by the
officials of the prison as the most ia
vorable location for the 20-odd crimi-
nally insane inmates. Wing was
built last year. and is one of the most
modern and best equipped in the peni-
tertiary. The men confined in this
quarter are given similar treatment as
other inmates of the institution. with
the exception that they are given such
food as Is prescribed by the attending
physician and are given two hours
liberty each day in the prison en-
closure. Thompson and Sidney Sloane
are the two youngest inmates of the
ward. but from all appearances are as
rational as any young men Of their
age
When taken to his cell, Chester
manifested no emotion, but his face
was pale and drawn, indicating that
he realized the full import of confine-
ment behind the grim prison walls.
Judge Thompson of Seattle visited the
penitentiary last week and found ev-
erything satisfactory Ward has
been set apart for the criminal1y in
sane in accordance with the provisions
of Chapter 30 Of the 1907 session
laws, which reads as follows:
Section g. The authorities charged
with the maintenance and conduct Of
the state penitentiary shall forthwith
provide ward or department in the
state penitentiary wherein shall be
confined persons committed as crimi-
nally insane persons under the pro-
visions of this act. Such persons shall
be under the custody and control Of
the wardens OF the penitentiary to the
same extent that are other persons
committed to his custody, but such
provisions shall be made for their con-
troll, care and treatment as shall be
proper in view Of their arrangement"

seems imminent TO Dreak the euecL OF
the current prosperity which Ameri-
can farmers are enjoying. A small
proportion of them are dependent on
single crops, and what they lose in one
direction is likely to be compensated
for by good prices for other products.
Those who are seeking worry can find
it readily enough without going out
into the fields.
The Street continues more or less
disturbed by the possibilities of gov
eminent interference with corporation
methods. The action taken against the
anthracite coal combination serves to
increase this uneasiness, especially as
the opinion is general that the gov
eminent stands a fair chance of win
ming its case, although the latter is
likely tc occupy a considerable length
of time in the courts.
Praises Hughes for Veto.
AS an offset to this, however, there
was the admirable veto message of
Governor Hughes upon the two-cent-
fare bill at Albany. Governor Hughes
took the ground that two wrongs did
not make right, and that because the
railroads had offended in some partic-
ular the state was not jutisfied in ex-
ercising a vindictive spirit in the adj
ministration of justice. Governor
Hughes arguments were statesman
like, sound and unanswerable, and
have certainly raised him still higher
in the ranks as man of conspicuous
ability, good judgment and high char
acter.
Considerable uneasiness was shown
at times over the Japanese agitation.
This is absurd. Japan does not want
war with the United States. Such a
contingency is unquestionably farth-
est from the minds Of those who con-
troll the .destinies Of this new power in
the Pacific. Even were Japan dispos-
ed to cross swords with the United
States. her rulers are too keen to risk
certain defeat. Japan cannot afford
to go to war with a country of such
vast resources as the United States.
Her own finances have been sorely
strained by the war with Russia, and
many years will be necessary for the
recovery from that strain.
Japs Can Get No Money.
Further, there Is no country in
Europe where Japan could raise the
funds necessary to prosecute war with
the United States. All thoughts of
trouble, therefore, with Japan may as
well be set aside for good. Such agi-
tation as we have had has been mere
ly the reflection OF our own bad treat
ment Of the Japanese on the Pacific
coast.
The outlook for the market is un-
certain. Owing to the unsatisfactory
crop and monetary conditions already
referred to. the tendency appears to
be downwards. Liquidation is some
quarters is still incomplete; and the
immense supply of new securities and
short-term notes issued during the
first half Of the year weigh heavily
upon an already overloaded security
market Stocks are only a good pur-
chase on pronounced breaks, and may
be considered gond sales on all pro-
nounced rallies.

HARTMAN LINES
new FACILITIES
New Equipment to Meet
Demands Of Greater
Tonnage


NEW YORK. June 20.--That Pacific
coast industries viii benefit largely by
increased facilities provided on the
Hartman lines to avoid, as far as pos
sible, a repetition of last years delays
in freight movement, is shown by in
formation obtained today from officials
of these lines. Last years enormous
increase in demands upon the carriers
indicates what this years require
ments will be. From tonnage of a.
100000 in July, 1905, the southbound
lumber movement alone on the South
ern Pacific lines in Oregon to points
outside the state jumped to 73,400, 900
tons in June, 1906, an increase of 500
carloads, or 129 per cent. The east
bound tonnage in the same time in
creased from 100000 tons to nearly
100000. This unprecedented gain of
more than 100000 tons in a single
commodity was responsible for delays
that have occurred in spite Of arrange
ments made in advance to handle an
expected increase Of the, lumber bust
ness.
New freight-car equipment on the
associated lines OF the Union and
Southern Pacific and the Oregon lines.
delivered since last June and ordered
for delivery by the end Of this month,
amounts to:
New Total,
Cars. June 30.
Union Pacific. $3.50 1885
Oregon Short Line. 1900 1921
Oregon r. & N......., 600 1882
Pacific System 5000 29,687
The increase in car capacity on the
Hartman lines on June 80 will be
$4,000 tons. This, with existing equip
ment, gives these lines total freight
capacity Of 2,72O,77e tons. New track
age and motive power have kept pace
with this increase in rolling stock.
The pooling arrangement in force on
these lines means that their cars are
"at home' anywhere on their rails. and
equipment can be diverted from one
line to the other wherever 1t is most
needed. Last year the San Francisco
disaster complicated the transporta-
tion problem on the Pacific coast, and
1t was made still more dificult to
handle by the fact that Eastern lines
were unable to furnish their quota of
equipment for business originating In
this territory.

FREIGHT RATE ADVANCED.
Pittsburs Road File Tariffs For Gen
eral Advance.

PITTSBURG. May 2. Railroads
In Plttsburg district have filed tariffs
with the interstate commerce commits
sion for a general advance In freight
rates to become effective June l.
Probably the most important feature
OF the advance in rates, as far as
Pittsburg is conc erred Is tn, general
increase Of ten per cent on all iron
and steel finished materials and the
advance of seven and one half per
cent on pig iron and billets.
The tariffs were filed in accordance
with the ruling of the commission
that the proposed change in rates OF
all kinds must be made public at
least 30 days before they become eff
fective. 1t Is said tnat the advance
freight rates this year Is greater than
was ever announced in previous years.
Practically every freight rate has or
win be advanced and 1t IL reported
that coal carrying roads are now con-
sidering the question of making still
further advances in coal freight
rates.
The new rates will affect not only
the Pittsburg district but all points
east Of the Mississippi river. The
present rate for pig iron from the Ma
honing and Snenango Valleys to Pitts
burg is 85c a ton, and under the new
tariff will be 95c a ton.
