RMGLMGs AUGUST 6THjS fine SUMMER WEATHER S
Mammoth Circus Has Many New
Features This Year

Ringing Brothers circus is headeo
this way and will arrive in Walla
Walla on Thursday. August is.
The first advertising brigade, headed
by Charles A. White, arrived in the
city this morning. Mr.. White stated
that the monarch of amusement enter
prises will start the ball rolling with
a street parade three miles long. 1t
takes five big trains to transport the
Ringing Brothers circus and when it
is settled on the show grounds and
ready to start the performance, it oc-
cupies a little more than IA acres of
ground.
practically every country in the civ
ilied world is represented in this great
travelling colony known as the circus
said Mr.. White. "Persians, Spaniards,
French, Italians. Germans ard people
from all the nations that produce great
feature acts, are seen in gOodly num-
bers. There is horse that makes its
own bed, reads the evening paper and
eats supper from dishes with almost
the same ease displayed by human.
Mr.. Good Night as this wonderful
quadruped is known. belongs to the
Riccobono company of equine actors.
This family of horses hail from ST.
Petersburg and made their American
debut under the Ringing banner. There
is also a new acrobat fresh from Eu-
rope, who wrinkles prominently in the
star studded profession. The animal
belongs to the DeKock trio and per-
forms the wonderful feat of standing
on the head of the ground man, while
balancing another man on his Uranium,
hus making a three-high balancing
act with the canine in the center. An
other act that is making likewise blink
is that offered by the Patty Brothers,
one of whom walks, jumps and goes up
stairs on his head without using his
hands There are 200 foreign tongued
artists on the Ringing salary list this
season which have never appeared on
this side Of the Atlantic before.
Besides this great gathering of tall
ent, there are also 100 American per-
formers, so clowns, so acrobats, so
aerialists, 60 riders and the largest
trained animal collection in the world.
In the menagerie will be found los
cages containing geological rarities not
to be seen elsewhere. From the big
herd of 40 numbering good ma tured ell
ephants to the family of soft eyed Cir
affes; from the man eating jungle ter
ror to the only rhinocerous in -capitiv-
ity the Ringing zoo is complete"

The Fidst Successful Automobile.

The first successful automobile i'm
the world was invented by Des
Moines, Iowa man. manufactured in
Des Moines and run in Des Moines
streets. Today there are nearly a
million hOrseless carriages, all told.
in the world. About one-fourth of
this number are owned IN the United
S ates. William Morrison. the inven-
tor, is still alive and a resident of
Des Moines. When MOrrison's cleo
trio horseless carriage first APP
peared 1t was as great a curiosity as
an airship was year ago. The
latest invention in connection with
the electric automobile is the mer-
curry arc rectifier developed by DR.
Charles P. Steinmetz, of the General
Electric company, to change alternat-
ing current to direct current for
charging the batteries Of the electric
vehicles.

Plans of Oregon Politicians.
ST. Helen'S Mist,

There is a rumor that Christopher
Schuebel, of Oregon City, is to sue
coed w. c. Bristol as United States
district attorney, and that w. r. Ell
lis, congressman from this district, is
to be appointed United States district
Judge for the new district in eastern
oregon. AS Schuebel is U'Ren's law
partner, it is supposed that he
will not be a candidate for Uni+ed
States senator, thus removing one of
C. w. Fulton's strongest competitors.
The appointment of Ellis is supposed
to leave the field clear for H. NJ. Cakes
candidacy for congress. The politicians
propose, but it may be. under the di-
rect primary system, the people will
dispose.

GOOD ROADS AND AUTOS.

The country unquestionably needs
better roads," says the Washington
Star, but not for the sake of the mo-
torist The farmers need them sorely
in their business of hauling their pro-
ducts to market The department of
agriculture is doing excellent work in
structing the farmers in this matter
and demonstrating to them the actual
saving effected by the smoothing of
the surfaces and the leveling of use
less grades. They are being intro
duced to the truth that one horse can
do the work of two provided the roads
are improved so per cent. They are
being shown how two horses can haul
twice as much on a good road as they
can on bad one. They are being per-
suaded that horses working on good
roads will last longer in full strength
than those that are kept plugging
along over muddy, rocky, rutty nigh
ways"
The Washington paper makes these
remarks after rejecting upon the in
jury which the activity of outoists may
DO 10 the cause of good roads, and ex-
presses the hope that the prejudice
against the motor car caused by the
foolish antics of comparatively few
will not set back this greatly-needed
Improvement.

There certainly were enough Walla

sec the eclipse, to include you.
The moon eclipsed all right For a
short time the smiling countenance of
the genial old gentleman in the moon
ard that of his less famous COM
pan.on, were almost excluded from
view.
Many were those who strolled to
some vantage point to see the moon go
out of sight. 1t would appear that the
performance was not satisfactory, for
long after the dark disc had with
drawn from the bright satellite the
pairs wandered aimlessly about, as if
seeking another and longer eclipse.
