Milton, April 24.-The Walla Walla
Traction company, which is operating
an electric line from Walla Walla to
Milton and Freewater, will at once
commence work on its passenger and
freight depot for Milton and Free
water, one building to serve the two
cities, and It will be located about
midway between them in North Mil

Another similar structure will be
erected later In the southern part of
the city, and will probably be used
for the better accommodation of the
farmers shipping over this line from
that part of town.
To Purchase Bowman Springs.
At a meeting of the city council 1t
was decided to purchase Bowman
springs, so that Milton's water system
will be extended to the springs little
more than mile above the city. A
reservoir will be constructed into
which the springs will run, and the
Walla Walla river will be tapped be-
yond for an auxiliary supply at the
height of the irrigation season. Mil
ton will in the future have pure spring
water for city use.

Rapid Growth of the Town Makes
Incorporation an Essential of Pro-
gress-Increase In School Popula-
ton Almost Exactly 1000 Per Cent
During Past Year, Drawing Heavy
Per Cent School Money.

Hermiston, April 24.-There is a
movement on foot here to incorporate
the town one mile wide and two miles
long. AT meeting of the Hermiston
Commercial club held last evening this
matter was discussed, and it is the in
tention of the citizens to push the
matter right through. Another meet
ing has been set for this purpose.
Hermiston is growing so rapidly
that II is considerably handicapped
because 1t is not Incorporated at this
time, and the residents of this place
feel that 1t cannot be done too soon
for the general welfare of all con-
cerned.
Astounding School Growth.
Because of Hermiston's rapid
growth in the last year the school
district there was enabled to draw
money at the last apportionment upon
the enumeration taken this year. BY
the terms of the state law district
draws money upon the number of chill
dren shown by the enumeration OF the
preceding year, excepting where the
increase has been 100 per cent or
more. Last year Hermiston reported
but six pupils of school age and this
year the enumeration was SO, thus
making a tremendous gain.
Consequently the district was able
to secure several hundred dollars ex-
ira school money and in accordance
with the law Superintendent Welles
allowed the same.

Neill, editor of the Miners Magazine,
says: "The presidents letter is an
insult to organized labor all over the

him as an ally of Standard Oil, whose

der of the defendants"

John Fitzpatrick, president of the

the president express our opinion,
which is unchanged. Roosevelt may
criticize Hartman and Debs. They

trial for their lives"

ant was represented by Nugent and

ident is right where he said labor
should eliminate undesirable citi-
zens."
b. C. Brady, organizer for the In
ternational Typographical union.
says: II believe the president will
not oppose organized labor. He con-
demns the men for their personal ac-

titled to his opinion. He is too
broad minded to condemn a man be-
fore he is tried"

his watch and about s60."
Averill then testified that McManus
said that he came to town and was
standing on corner and that one of
his friends came up and asked him
to go have some oysters with him.
That 1t was while talking to this
friend that this man, who had robbed
him first, butted in; that the third
party then followed him around all
afternoon and that they finally went
into a saloon together and McManus
bought him drink and the party then
tried to rob him.
"McManus in his conversation did
not mention the name of the man
whom he claimed had robbed him,
but made the statement, I have killed
the son of a -, and hope he dies,
and ! am willing to answer for any
thing that I did," related the witness.
Averill thought that McManus was
intoxicated and said that he was ex-
cited and did not talk very distinctly.

Will Sturgis opened a new line Of
evidence by stating that he was in
the State saloon with McCarty when
McManus came in and that they all
had drink together. That he knew
but little about McCarty. He had
only heard that McCarty had been in
trouble over misdemeanors.

told how McManus had come before
him and wanted McCarty arrested for
robbing him. Mr.. Parkes advised
him to go before the district attor-

want to do. McManus might have
been there twice for the same pur-
pose, said Parkes, but he was not
certain.

Plans for the macadamizing of the
residence streets of the city have now
been worked out by the council and
tonight Councilman Rem, chairman
of the streets committee, will intro
duce resolutions calling for the i'm
provement of 81 blocks during the
coming spring. There is little doubt
but that the resolutions will be adopt
ed by the council and the PROPOSE
tion will then be carried out at once
unless u sufficient remonstrance be
made by the property ownsrs in
volved.
By the terms of the resolutions now
drawn, East Court street is to be
macadamized from Mill street to the
Byers' mill race, distance of eight
blocks. West Webb street is to be
macadamized from the o. R. G. N.
railroad track to the western termin-
US of the street, a distance of IL
blocks. West Alta street is to be
macadamized from the east line of
Garden street to the west line of
Chestnut street, a distance of 12
blocks.
The specifications given in the
resolutions call for the improvement
of the streets for a distance of 1s
feet on each side of the center line
of the street. Macadam is to be
used. being placed nine inches deep
at the center of the street and six
inches deep at the outer edge. No
curbs are to be constructed, the ma
cadam joining directly with the
earthen strip along the side.
Good, But Cheap.
1--WE have considered the matter
very carefully" declared Councilman
Rem this morning, "and 1 believe
that the. plan now in view will fur
nish a good, substantial street for
the residence sections and vet be
cheap enough so that no objections
can be made by the property own
ers. While it is impossible to state
just what the improvement will cost,
1t will Re in the neighborhood of $40
for each so feet of frontage. 1 hope
that no remonstrances will be start
ed and that the council will be able
to proceed at once to advertise for
bids and let the contracts.
In selecting the blocks to be paved
the councilmen have also tried to
avoid obstacles. According to Mr..
Renn 1t is the purpose of the coun-
Gil to take up the matter of more
paving as soon as the new charter
has been adopted. 1t is proposed to
pave several blocks on West Court
street, and also for a block on West
Alta. The paving of Webb street Of
