A LIVING ADVERTISEMENT.

1t is hard to estimate the benefit
Walla Walla and the Inland Empire
will receive through the visit to this
city, next week, of the excursion of
Omaha business men which left Oma-
ha few days ago on a trip through
the northwest states. That Walla
Walla will receive an unlimited amount
of advertisement, directly and indi-
rectly by this excursion, goes without
saying. Already the various trade pa
pers in the east and middle west are
commenting on the trip and it's ben
efits. The Trade Exhibit, an eastern
publication, in its last issue, says of
the excursion:
The six northwestern states that
will be visited by Omaha business men
the first two weeks of June contain a
total area of 57S.950 square miles. This
vast territory is equal in size to the
six New England states, the state OF
New York. Pennsylvania. Ohio. Illinois
Indiana. Missouri. Iowa. New jersey,

THE COLLEGE WIDOW.

The sophomores of Whitman college
are busy now putting on the finish
ing touches to 1.-THE College Widow
which they will present at the Keylor
Grand on next Monday evening June
6. Examinations are now over and re-
hearsals are in order every day. The
final rehearsals will be held on Sat
urday and Monday when the Keylor
Grand will be used. This play promis-
es to Outclass the endeavors of any
previous sophomore class. 1t is en-
tirely we'll adapted to the abilities of
the members of the class, dealing as it
does with college life as it actually
exists. The play is just replete with
mirth provoking situations.
Miss Margaret Steele as Jane With
erspoon makes a very charming wi
dow, while Ernest Schmidt as Billy
Bolton" the half-back, takes his part
admirably. Arthur Stone as SLAM
Hicks" the backwoods SENATOR and his
son Bud, the part taken by Willard
Felthouse, are expected to bring down
the house whenever they are on the
stage. Bessie Tanner the athletic
girl, the part taken by Ella Poston and
Paul Brainard as stub" Talmage"
will typify college life at its best.
John Lyman as MANY McGovern"
trainer and Rufus Coleman as Jack
Larabee" the coach, enter into their
parts with much zest and naturalness
Marion McConaughy as Flora wig
gins" the waitress and Walter Felt
house as Mr.. Talbot" the tutor are
expected to make decided hit. Job
Rigsby as silent Murphy" and Ma
tale Soules in the part of Mrs. Dali
zelle' the professional chaperone will
furnish part of the fun. Glenn Bur-
roughs as Peter Witherspoon" makes
an excellent college president and Don
Marvin as Hiram Bolton does ex-
ceedingly well in the role of the rich
and Jovial father of Billy"
The play moves with a snap from
the time of the football game to the
closing scene between Jane Wither-
spoon and Billy Bolton. The produc-
! ton is under the direction of Mrs.
Augusta Dolph of St. Paurs school.

Canyon City but the defense objected
to this line of questioning and the
judge sustained the contention.
Before leaving Denver, Orchard says
Haywood paid him s240. He went from
Denver to Salt Lake and then to Nam
pa, finally to Caldwell, where he regis
tered as Thomas Hogan. He identi
fled his signature On the hotel register
at Nampa and Caldwell. He reached
Caldwell early in November and found
Steunenberg absent. He came to Boise
but missed him here. He went to
Portland leaving his trunk in the Nam
pa depot, containing the bomb. He
spent couple of weeks in Portland,
Seattle. and Spokane, looking up
ranch which he and Pettibone wanted
to buy and hold for hiding place for
anyone who might desire to keep hid
den. He went from there to Wardner
to see Simpkins He told Simpkins he
had been to Caldwell to try to kill
Steunenberg. The former told him that
it could be done later and suggested
he first try to kidnap his children
August Paul the son of the richest
man in the Occur dAlenes said, the
lateer would give $4,000 ransom, then
they could pay some one else to kill
Governor Steunenberg. He stayed in
Wardner and Wallace a month, then
he and Simpkins went to Caldwell.
Christmas night we went to the
Steunenberg house with a shot gun to
try and kill the governor but the lat
ter got to the house becore 1 could get
the gun ready so 1 returned to the no.

day, December 80. The governor was
in the hotel lobby. 1 got a bomb and
went to Steunenberg's house and fast
ened the bomb under the gate so when
he opened it the explosion would oc-
cur. l passed the governor going
home, two blocks from hotel. I heard
the explosion before I reached the ho-

Michigan and Kentucky, the areas Oh
which in total are only 527,105 square
miles. and still there is left, In tnese
six great northwestern states, terr'-
tory equal to all Of Japan ana japan
csc possessions, with a few thousand
square miles in addition. In this vast
territory the present population Is APP
nroximately 2,477.OOO people. In the
states herein named, for comparison
there is a population of 47,033,ooo' OF
about 20 times as great as In the siA
great northwestern states. 1t can pe
seen how great are the opportunities
in the Northwest for millions OF more
homes. The states named do not pos
sess any greater areas of agrlcultuf-
al and timber land and none OF them
have the great wealth in minerals tnat
are possessed by the Northwest When
all these facts are carefully consid-
cred it is apparent that the six North
west states are capable of supporting a
population greater than half the pres
ent population of the United States.
There are men now living who are
quite likely to see the Northwestern
states almost as densely populated as
are the states of the Central East. The
Northwest is rich in possibilities. It
is the best field for investment ana
for commercial development that ex-
lists within the Union Of States.

DESERTS DISAPPEARING.

"The Great American Desert that
bugaboo of a score of years ago, will
one of these days be wiped off the map.
Indeed, it is now disappearing at
rapid rate. What was once a dreary
waste, stretching hundreds of miles in
every direction in one body and in
smaller areas in different parts of the
region west of the Mississippi river,
has already been reclaimed. to a sur
prising degree in many of the western
states, and furnishing good homes to
hundreds of thousands of people.
There are now under way % irriga-
ton projects being pushed to compile
tion by the federal government, and
they mean the expenditure of $25, 000,-
500. while several others involving the
spending of $15,O0O,OOO more, will soon
be undertaken.
Figures are given by a writer in the
Reader Magazine estimating that the
reclamation service now has on hand
s34 100000 and that within a year the
available fund for this purpose will
amount to S42000.000.
These accomplishments. real and
projected. speak eloquently of the de-
termination of the American people to
DO everything and anything within the
power of man to improve their condi-
ton. The later improved methods of
obtaining water and of using it to the
best advantage mean the ultimate re-
clamation of the entire desert section
of the United States.
Within twenty years from now there
will be little left of what is known as
arid lands uncultivated while within
the next fifty years competent statis-
ticians reckon there will be $4,000, 900
acres of desert land put under the
awakening influence of the irrigating
ditch.
The increased wealth this will inject
into that of the nation, and the millions
of people it will supply with homes
the basis of American happiness and
civiliZation-is beyond estimate Among
these undertakings Umatilla county is
among the first to reap their benefits
and the west end of this empire of ours
should rejoice with exceeding great Joy
at its prospects, as the rest of us join
with them in the glad refrain.

ORCHARDS BLOODY TALE.

Harry Orchard made good his promise
that he would reveal the workings or
the inner circle of the Federation or
Miners by going on the stand in the
HAYWOOD murder trial at Boise .yeStef-
dav and recounting a tale of violence
and bloodshed so revolving that the en-
tire nation must stand aghaSt at the
disclosures. If what Orchard swore to,
is true, even the mighty influences OF
the most powerful union in the world,
the Federation of Miners, will hardly
avail in preventing the three men ac-
cused of numbering Ex-Governor Steu-
ennberg, being brought to speedy JUS
tiCc.
Orchard declared he was on intimate
terms with the officers of the federation
and plotted with them in encompaSSlng
the destruction of the mine owners
property and the death of many nom
union miners and those who had en-
gendered the hatred of the federation.
Perhaps this is true and perhaps 1t is
not. Only Orchard knows. great
crime against society and man has
been committed and justice demands
that the whole truth be brought out
at the trial of the accused men. Or
chard, with his soul blackened by the
deeds he admits he is guilty of, has
little to gain by perjuring himself at
this stage of the game.

ing at all on the conspiracy to murder
Steunenberg.
Richardson declared the prosecution
was taking advantage of the leniency
of the judge to introduce matters
which would later be stricken out, but
would have had its effect on the jury.
The judge declined to rule on the mat
ter until later on. A recess was then
taken.
Big Crowd This Afternoon.
The crowd that besieged the doors
this afternoon was much larger than
yesterday. 1t is estimated that more
than 1000 people unsuccessfully tried
to secure admission to the court room.
Women and girls, many of the latter
not yet out of their teens, predomin-
ated. Orchard had been materially
benefited by his noon rest and was in
the hest voice condition since he has
taken the stand. The court overruled
the motion Of the defense to strike out
ref ie.lces to the claim jumping cases.
Trip to Caldwell.
Orchard swore that when he left
Denver for Caldwell to kill Steunen-
berg he was accompanied to the sta
ton by Pettibone. The latter and Hay
wood told him to use the bomb made
for ePabody. on Steunenberg. Orchard
swore he wrote Marion Moore asking
hi INTO bring the boAb to him from

ORCHARD CONTINUES HIS
CONTINUED from Page Onel

Orchard swore the bomb was loaded
in the basement of Petitioners store,
the latter helping him to load it, They
put in 80 pounds of powder into 1T.
Orchard had the bomb in a valise In
Canyon City with giant powder caps
placed in an arrangement with a small
alarm clock so the bomb could be ex-
ploded at any hour decided on.
Governor Peabody was having his
house reconstructed and changed his
habits so Orchard could not get a
chance to plant the bomb, so he left it
loaded in a grip in a boarding house
kept by a man named Vaughn. Orchard
left Canyon City and went into the
Arkansas valley where he wrote life
and hail insurance. He then went
back to Denver and reported his fall
ure to Pettibone. He said he had told
Vaughn by accident what he was try
ing to do. Pettibone directed him to
quit. He then made another bomb to
try and kill Judge Gabbert.
This bomb was planted in a vacant
lot at the corner of Colfax and Emer-
son streets, which the judge crossed

FERRY PROVES TROUBLESOME
Breaks Loose at Charleston and Floats
Down the Snake.

CHARLESTON, Wash, June 6.-The
Snake river ferry, which broke away
from the cable last Friday, is still
down the Snake river about mile
and half below the bridge. The ..
r. & N. boat Lewiston made two I'M
successful attempts TO bring the ferry
back, but after starting, the force of
the water sank the boat. After it was
found that the boat could not be towed
back, it was tied Oil the northe side Of
the river.
1t is expected that the boat will be
towed up the north bank of the Clear
water river, as far as the Clearwater
ferry by horses. The boat will then
be taken across the river and toWed
trnund the point below town, pack to
its former landing.
