DEATH OF
P. SULLIVAN

On the 4th inst. at the residence
of his niece, Mrs. Freely Baldwin
of Connie, Wash, occurred the
death of Patrick Sullivan of Mer-
riman, one2of the best known men
of this county. Mr.. Sullivan was
born March Z, 1881 in the towr
then called Dublin, but now called
Shullsburg, Wis. Dublin was
then a frontier hamlet without
railroads and the country around
so wild that the Inhabitants had
built sort of fort or stockade to
protect themselves from the Indian
raids. His parents had drived in
to the country with an OK team
just short time before his birth.
Educational advantages were not
so good in these trying days as at
present. but young Sullivan Sc.
cured what was a good education
when the surroundings are con-
sidereG. He acquired a knowledge
of surveying and followed it more
or less until the time of his death.
Filled with same spirit of push
and conquest that impelled his
parents to leave the Green Isle"
beyond the sea and push their way
into the forests of Wisconsin, he
pushed his way across the wild
unbroken prairies of the west, do
ing surveying, engaging in the
cattle business, and filling the
numerous and responsible positions
for which his education and natural
ability fitted him. He settled on
a ranch near Merriman nearly
twenty years ago and engaged in
breeding thoroughbred cattle.
While in this business he was
elected county commissioner Of
this county and so good a record
did he make in this position that
he was reelected, although the
county was strongly republican
and he dempcrat. After serving
two terms as asScommissioner he re-
tired from public life, sold his
ranch and cattle and established
his home in the village of Merri-
man. In the fall of 1902 he was
nominated by the democrats for
representative, the district COM
Drlslng two counties-both repub-
ican. Mr.. Sullivan was defeated
put he. was far ahead of his ticket.
This was the last time he ever be-
anne candidate for public office,
,ut he retained his interest in pub
ic affairs to the last. He was an
.rdent democrHt-a Bryan demo !
;rat-and one of the last things he
aid to his nephew, who was with !
i'm at his death, was: Bryan
will be the next president of the
nlted States. | will not live to
'ote for him, but you will"
In the death of Mr.. Sullivan
;herry county has lost one of her
est citizens, man who, as a pri-
ate citizen and as public, officer,
net every requirement of a man.
1onest himself he expected to find
onesty in others. Bold and
straightforward himself, he had
o time for shams and pretenses.

SOME TROUBLE YET On v. & c. R.

For the first time in weeks citizens
of Walla Walla could eat lunch ir
Walla Walla today and dinner in SpO-
kane in the evening. They were also
able to leave this city at 1880 this af-
ternOon and get into PendletOn by dark
because the O. r. & N. track is clear
from Spokane to Pendleton for the first
time since the heartbreaking series of
washouts which damaged miles of
track and caused the company an eX-
pense OF hundreds of thousands of dol
lars.
The train which has been leaving
here at 10 o'clock for Wallula, was
cancelled today, as was the special
which has been running to Adams and
return daily and the whole system is
running on practically the old schedule
time.
The w. & G.. r. is still in trouble on
the Pendleton branch and it will prob
ably be several days before the line is
open all the way to the Oregon city.
The train from PascO was several
hours late today on account of having
to wait for the Northern Pacific main
line train.

the delegates who represent the Unit

ence to be held in June to work for
permanent peace congress. gen
eral arbitration treaty and restriction
of the armaments of all nations
These were the three questions which
were regarded as most important by
the congress of International arbitra-
ton held at Lake Mohomk, n. Y, last
year and H. c. Phillips, secretary of
who has requested action by the local
commercial club.
Mr.. Phillips recommends briefly but
emphatically that the American dele
cation should seek to have adopted the
resolutions passed by the Lake Mo-
honk conference.
These resolutions regard the follow
ing measures as the most important
to be brought before the tribunal:
l. To make The Hague tribunal a
perpetual congress to be recognized by
all nations.
?. To make a general arbitration
treaty for all nations.
3. The restriction of the armaemnts
of nations.

LEADING FARMERS TO ORGANIZE A FREE
EMPLOYMENT AGENCY TO HIRE LAB0RERS

Scarcity of farm labor and the great
difficulty of getting men to do spring
blowing will probably cause 80 of the
leading farmers of Walla Walla county
to establish a free employment agency
in Walla Walla within a short time.
The scheme proposes to establish an
office at Walla Walla with a high
salaried and experienced employment
agent. who will not only distribute
among the members of the association
farm hands as they apply for jobs, but
will make arrangements for bringing
men in here so that there will be a
sufficient supply for harvest, when the
big demand comes.
