RAILROAD COMPETITION
IN FRUIT HANDLING
Northern Pacific Cars Being Hauled
Into Milton and Freewater Over
the Electric Line for Fruit Ship
ments-Bull< of the Crop Is Being
Handled by the o. II. & n. But Or
ders for Northern Pacific Cars Are
Being Filled-Largest Fruit Crop
on Record.

For the first time in the history of
Milton and Freewater, those places
are now enjoying bona fide railroad
competition.
For the past few days the inter-
urban electric line has been hauling
Northern Pacific refrigerator cars in
to Milton to be loaded with fruit for
points On the Northern Pacific sys-
tenn.
Heretofore. the entire fruit crop of
the Milton-Freewater district has
been shipped out over the o. R. &
n. and that system is handling the
bulk of the shipments this season, but
orders for Northern Pacific cars are
being filled daily.
The four packing houses in Milton
and Freewater are now rushed to
their fullest capacity in handling the
immense fruit crop of that section
Peaches, plums, grapes, pears and
other varieties are now being ship
ped out in large quantities and sew
eral hundred people are employed in
the orchards and packing houses of
that district
1t is the best fruit crop ever enjoy
ed by that portion of the county and
prices are very good. The large crop
and favorable prices have stimulated
the fruit business until there is a
strong movement in fruit and garden
lands along the line of the electric
road between Milton and walla Wal
la and it is evident that the entire
length of the road will be solid or
chard and village within a few years.

Conditions Which Have De-
veloDed Of Late Impose
This as a Precaution,
LOW WATER RESULTS IN
PUMPING FROM THE RACE
Typhoid Has Put i'm an Appearance
Recently After Over Five Months
of Complete Freedom from Conta-
sious Diseases of Any Kind In PEN
dleton-Water from the Race Was
Necessary Though Temporary
Expedient, But the Public Should
Have Been Notified.

Within the past week or 10 days
quite a few cases of typhoid fever
have developed within the city, and
really alarming, it has caused the
physicians to take notice. One fea-
ture of the cases occurring recently
is the fact that in nearly every in
stance the patients have the disease
in severe form.
That the typhoid prevailing at this
time is largely due to poor water
temporarily used in the city water
system is freely declared by promi-
nent doctors. But short time ago
the water supply became low at the
pumping station, and to meet the
shortage some water was used from
the Byers' mill race. Through this
action some fish got into the water
| pipes, where they have since died,
thus communicating the supply.
While it is believed that the use Of
the water from the mill race was the
only expedient open to the hoard. the
physicians declare that the people Of
the town should have been notified
of it so they could have taken more
than the usual precautions regarding
the water.
That all water should be boiled be-
fore use is advised by the medical
men.
Free of COntagion.
Until the last week or two the city
had been practically free of typhoid
| this summer, and it has likewise been
remarkably free of contagious diseas-
es. At the office of the city recorder
the last case of contagion reported
was case of smallpox, which occur
red on March 81.

THE FRENCH IDEA OF LIBERTY.
The "Temps's" Comment on the Sermon OF
Archbishop ireland.

Paris Jan. 6.--The Temps, wnicn prlhts In
fulI Archbishop Ireland's recent sermon con-
cerning French Catholics. considers that the
American prelate placed his finger upon the ma
tional weakness when. "sparing neither Repuo-
lican, reactionist anti-clerical nor Catholic, ne
renroaches all alike with their traditional
hereditary inability to comprehend the meaning
OF true liberty"
The idea OF the omnipotence OF the state al
ways has been dominant in France. and has led
10 the inevitable spirit OF intolerance toward
the vanquished. Liberty will not be established
in France until the state and every citizen rec
ognizes that the question of going or not going
TO mass concerns the conscience OF the indi-
viduaI and not the government. This Is what
the French people including, first OF all, Cath
olics must learn soon, and would learn II we
had many prelates as liberal as Archbishop Ire
