The Oregon Daily Journal gives the
following interesting sketch of Editor
John P. McManus. of the Pilot Rock
Record. who is now awaiting trial in
the Umatilla county Jail for killing
Bob Estes:
So far as shooting goes, McManus
| is a good one at the mark, says the
Journal. Trained at the target by
brother who drove a stage in the Da-
kotas when the two states comprised
territory, he saw some life among
the Indians. Like John, the brother
was journeyman printer, but in the
seventies he left the case for the ex-
citing life of the plains. He was said
to be a dead shot, and 1t was also
said of him that he made three days
horseback ride between two stations
in Dakota with a sack of mail on his
back and with a band of Indians be-
hind him.
This McManus, according to the
story told by the advertising manager
of Kati Putnam, fed himself the three
days and nights on the deerskin Of
his moccasins, and when he arrived

HARVEST CARNIVAL MANAGER.
II. l.. Bernard VIII Have Charge at
WalIa Walla.

The carnival committee who were
appointed a few days ago by Presi-
dent Kaser of the Commercial club,
have engaged K. L. Bernard as man
ager for their big free harvest carni-
val to be given September 16 to Fl.
Mr.. Bernard comes highly recon-
mended as a very successful booster
and organizer, and there is no doubt
but what with his assistance, the
Commercial club will excel any eff
fort in this line of the past. Man
ager Bernard arrived In Walla Wal
la a few days ago and has opened an
office where he will arrange his
plans for a big advertising campaign.
The program has not been arrang-
ed as vet, but several very interesting
features will be brought out. There
will be big parade daily, in which
a large number of cash as well as
valuable prizes will be offered the
contestants. One day will be set aside
as children's day, and everything will
be arranged to please the little ones
All the school children In the county
will be invited, and 1t is now the in
tention to give an American silk flag
valued at $50, to the school that will
enter the most artistic float In the
parade of that day. Several schools
have already signified their intention
of entering float in this contest.

Says the La Grande Star:
A few sale contracts for new wheat

Most of the farmers do not care to
sell now and are holding with the
hope of receiving rs cents.
Thpsshing in the valley is now fair

Elgin branch. A man said yesterday
that the entire warehouse room in
this county would not begin to hold

handled about nine-tenths of the
crop. The mills casnot begin To use
that proportion of the crop this syear
They could not grind the present
yield If ali were to run night and day
from now until next harvest.
But few reports are coming as to
the actual yields per acre, as most
of the farmers are too busy to stop
to measure up. On one point they
are all agreed. and that is that this
season has the heaviest and best quail
ity of grain this valley ever produced.

Mr.. Walsh was in the city yester-
day and had talks with President Ke-

thusiastic over the project.

A. D. Charlton, assistant general pas
senger agent, and L. L. Laforce, su-
perintendent of the Pasco division,

Couricr-Press. In response to a re-
quest of the Walla Walla Commercial
club for a new train to Pasco in the
morning, Mr.. Mutt said:
"While 1t may not be all the peo-

justified in giving at ethis time is a

''It is mo doubt true that There is
lots of property that escapes taxa
ton, yet values In the state show a
continual and large increase in all
sorts of property except the railroads
whose increase Is nominal.
Must Begin Somewhere.
"It is evident that there must be a
closer assessment and a more syste-
matte and business like return of
property and we might as well begin
right now. The railroads have not
been increased for 16 years. By in
creasing them now, 1t will pave the
way for the stricter assessment of
other property. The roads depend on
the friendship and good will of the
people for their success and one Of
the best ways they can win lit is TO
cheerfully accept their share Of the
taxes" TMM
General Mullen's Opinion.
Attorney General Mullen said,
"Those figures which read in the
Tribune as submitted to the board
by railroad men proved what urged
last winter-that IL a tax agent is a
good man for a railroad, he Is all the
more necessary for state or COM
munity that depends upon taxation
to move the machinery of govern
ment.
"Those fellows who went before the
board knew their business. They
know the tax question from begin
ming to end in practice and theory
and knew just where to look for the
weak points in our system. That is
why they could go through the books
of a county and place before the
board instances to show that in many
cases the system of assessment ap-
proaches the absurd.
''It will pay the state big returns to
hire a man like that-a man that will
be responsible for the assessment of
all state property. The state should
give him power to hire the assessohs
and fire them If they don't get the
property listed.
Here's the state, depending for its
existence and olvency upon the taxes
1t lawfully collects. Yet these rail-
road fellows come in here and point
out practices that If followed by a
merchant or a bank or a railroad in
collecting what was due would send
such a concern into bankruptcy in a
year, We should have tax commits
sioner or commissioners whose duty
and power 1t is to go into these things
and know how ito go about It,"

BOUGHT FRENCH RESTAURANT.
n. ID. Swcaringen Will Conduct Es-
tabIishment Henceforth.

Through a deal that was consum-
mated Saturday N. D. Swearingen has
purchased the French restaurant
from o. W. Coffman and he is now
in charge of the business. Aside
from the restaurant the rooming
house business was also included in
the purchase and the entire hostelry
will be conducted by Mr.. Swearingen
hereafter.
1t is the intention of the new man.
agement to run the French upon the
same general lines as in the past,
though improvements will be made
in the service wherever possible. In
past years the French has been a
popular place and those who know
Mr.. Swearingen have confidence that
he will run 1t successfully and with
satisfaction to the public. 80

gress to do 1t is to get our men to
these meetings and show them what
we want done. There are couple
Of delegates from this state, but they
live ON the sound, and have no in
terest in the Columbia.
Such men as DR.. N. G. Blalock,
who has perhaps done more for the
open river than any other man, and
Captain Gray, who has navigated the
river for over 20 years ana knows it
like book, are both very strong men
and would do a whole lot for the pro-
ject. The expense divided between
the cities would not be much, but it
would help far more than can be es-
timated in dollars and cents. The
other cities and towns in this section
are willing to help"
The matter will be taken up at the

SHEEP MARKET DULL
LITTLE Doing IN THE
UNATILLA MARKETS.
Abundant Winter Range Causes Grow
ers to Hold-Prices for Lanbs Are
High-Growers VIII Sell Sheep
After Running Them Through the
Winter-Easier for Sheep to Be
Sold Out OF State.

Although this Is the season of the
year for sheepbuyers to flock here
for the purpose OF buying lambs for
fall delivery, there is little doing In
the Cmatilla county market and ap-
parenty but few sheep will be sent
out this year. At present Howard
Stevens. of the firm of Stevens &
Rust, is the only buyer in the field.
He is in the market for lambs for
shipment to their ranch in Nebraska
and has already purchased $500 head
OF Joe Connolly. The price paid has
not been made public, but is under
stood TO have been a high one.
Owing to the fact that there is
abundant winter range for all of the
sheep now owned in the county, there
is little desire TO sell on the part of
growers. Prices asked for lambs
range from SO to IS, which is a de-
cidedly high figure compared with
prices in the past.
According to Mr.. Stevens. there Is
such a strong local demand for lambs
that an outside buyer has little op-
portunity, Parties. having winter
range may buy lambs in the fall. run
them through tbs winter and then sell
them after shearing, BY sseh course
the grower derives the benefit from
sne growth Of the sheep and from the
wool clip, Eastern buyers sell the
sheep as mutton after running tn lem
through the winter But as there is
no scarcity of winter range in this
section now the growers here are do
ing the same thing in many instances
with the result that the price of lambs
is elevated.
As the federal quarantine has now
been practically raised in this state, Il
is much easier for sheep to be SOLD

Mr.. Gillette, president Of the board,

attention of the lawmakers the press
ing need of a better tax and assess
ment law.
"But two wrongs do not make a
right and while they have done the
state good deal OF service In call
ing our attention to, the faults OF our
taxation laws, that does not explain
away or cover the fact that for the
past 1e years the value of railroad
property in the state has only in
