Better passenger accommodations
between this city and Pasco over the
w. & G. r. will be the slogan of the
Commercial club committee which
was appointed recently by Ben c.
Holt. chairman of the transportation
committee, to meet the party of
Northern Pacific railway officials
upon their arrival in Walla Walla,
says the Walla Walla Union. Work
has been going on quietly for some
time, and the various members of
the committee will present what they
consider unanswerable arguments
this morning in favor of another pas
senger train between Walla Walla
and the capital of Franklin county.
The arguments will include a tabu-
lated list of figures showing the
amount of business done by this city
over the Northern Pacific branch
from PascoI and the probable in
crease which will result from an ad-
ditional train will also he presented.

GOOD FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
Henry CIews Finds Much Favor in
Present Conditions,

Henry Clews says this week of crop
and financial conditions of the coun
try:
Crop developments are closely fol-
lowing the course that experience and
calm vent suggested when the
crop-kilhnS seGson was at its height.
The American people have a penchant
for new high records; they are dis
appointed at average results and find
slight occasion for enthusiasm in such
results.
Present indications certainly point
to average grain crops. II weather.
from now on shall remain favorable
and the fact that the wheat carry
over this year is large and that there
Is an assured foreign demand for our
grain at high prices will go a long
way towards comforting our agricul-
turists for their failure to once more
establish record harvests.
Meanwhile railroad traffic state
ments are making an increasingly ia
vorable showing. For the month of
May, for instance, II railroads showed
an increase in gross income of s11,-
III, 900, or II per cent over the cor
responding figures for 1906; for the
second week in June IS roads are
s5,612,000, or 10 per cent over last
years figures. So far as net earnings
are concerned the April figures are
the only data available in large way;
these for 81 roads show an increase
OF s7,s92,0O0, or 23 per cent-a fig
ure almost identical with the increase
In gross earnings. These comparisons
are distinctly better than those of q
few months ago.

Rains Damage Hay Crop.

with the continuance of the rain
fall last night and today the ranchers
are face to face With serious sit
uation. so far as the first cutting of
alfalfa Is concerned. From every
section of the valley reports are to
hand today to the effect that the
greater part Of the first crop Is on
the ground and as a result of the
rain will depreciate in quality and
value and be kept back perhaps 80
dayg from the market.
One rancher near Wapato has 700
tons of alfalfa Just cut and. It is fig
ured that the rain will mean a loss
to him OF over $4,000. Other ranch
ers report large quantities Of hay in
the same situation and the loss
throughout the valley will amount to
a very large sum.
Prominent dealers in the city this
morning estimate the effect Of the
rain to be equal to the value Of about
one-third of the entire first crop OF
alfalfa In the valley.--Yakma Repub-
lie.

TO PROTECT OLD SOLDIERS.
Interior Department Bars Firm Of
Pension Attorneys.

Old soldiers all over the country
can feel real interest in the action of
the interior department in disbarring
one firm of pension attorneys
from practicing and instituting pro-
ceedings against several others, says
an exchange. The trouble was spec
ulation on the part of the pension
sharks In land bounty script.
This script Is issued to all soldiers
and their widows and heirs who par
ticipated in any American war back Of
1855. There are a surprising number
of these soldiers and their descendants
in the country who have never applied
for the land bounty.
The pension firms in question made
a practice of looking up these old
claims and notifying the beneficiaries
so that the claims could be pushed
through, the attorneys. of course, get
ting the regular fee for the work. But
then 1t was the habit OF many of the
attorneys to buy the land script from
the successful claimant at an aver
age of slips per acre, the claims were
for 100 acres, and sell the script to
some outsider. often as high as from
s5 to $40 an acre.
Most of the old land claimants did
not even know that they were being
robbed. for that was what 1t amounted
to. But Secretary Garfield took the
matter up and now one firm has been
disbarred from practice and others
are trembling. The beauty of the in
cident from n public viewpoint is that
It indicates the interior department is
going to be run on more honest and
businesslike basis than formerly.

BIG MONEY IN SHEEP.
small Flocks I'm the Northwest Pay
Big Profits and Keep Weeds Killed
Off the Land.

The East Oregonhn has urged
farmers in this county, especially
along the streams where they have
running water and brush, to keep
small flocks of high grade sheep, say
so to 100 head. The results of these
small flocks are truly wonderful and
II will prove to he not only highly
profitable, but also beneficial TO the
Land upon which the shcep are kept
The following from the Rural Spirit
gives the experience of, couple OF
owners of small flocks for the past
year,
Not long since mention was made OF
Sabine Abbott's Il ewes near Coupe
vile, Wash, that have 20 living lambs
this spring, says the Rural Spirit. Now
comes Mr. August FAMINE, living near
North Namhih, in Yamhill county,
Oregon, with a report which, consd-
ering the number of sheep, is proba-
bly, fully as remarkable.
He has 90 high grade Cotswold
sheep, all ewes but two. and of these
23 are yearlings and do not lamb this
year, leaving Ga mothers. From these
he has at this time 81 living lambs, an
average of one and one-fourth lambs
per eve. Mr.. Framme sheared from
the 90 sheep 9S5 pounds of wool, an
average of 10.9 pounds per sheep,
and sold at 81 cents per pound, total
ing S206.S5 for wool alone.
Every bit of feed these 90 sheep had
last winter was four tons of clover
hay. worth about 25. The sheep ran
on only 40 acres of pasture, but 1t Is
river bottom and extra good. and he
says ordinarily that many sheer
should have a pasture double that
! size.
He let the sheep run in his clover
meadow until about April 1. then pu
them on pasture for four months
During this time he cut about two
tons OF clover hay and at the end OF
four months turned them back OF
the clover, leaving them there unit
winter, when they were taken to thu
barn and fed hay as above stated, bu
allowed to run on meadow and pas
ture during the day time when thu
weather was nice. If this is not re
markable showing II at least shows

the management of the York ban club.
Mcfarland although he makes his home

visit here by Manager Connolly and Mr..
Carpenter promised to take the matter
up. AS the result Mcfarland was trans
feired 10 Wilmington yesterday and
Vinson directed to report to York. IL is
with regret that the local fans note Vim
sons departure as he IS a good player,
but unfortunately has an ungovernable
temper at times.
In Mcfarland Manager Connolly gets a
cool-headed man who plays clever OUT

makes the pitcher put them over. He
walked twice in the game on Saturday.
