ADJUSTMENTS
DOG IS A FAMOUS RIDER.
II Belongs 70 Great 1sdini Family
With Ringing Bros Show.


Ringing Brothers have this season
the flower Of the equestrian talent Of
the world. There are forty-riders in
all, and heading the list is the great
Bedini family of five, to say nothing
of their famous dog. These clever peo-
pie, dog and all. make a simultaneous
jump, landing on the back Of one
horse Others in this class are the
Stickneys, the Hobsons, Paul Devene
and Daisy Hodgini, the only woman
who can turn a somersault or. a horse;
the Clarks, Bud German. John Mercer,
George Galley. Jack Foley and John
Agee, the crack rough-rider of the
world.
The Ringing Brothers are making a
feature this year Of trained animal
acts, and, to give this feature dis
tinction over all other shows, the Gel
ebrated Riccobono horses, which dine
from plates at a table, wear boots,
coats, pantaloons ard hats, make their
own beds and lie in them, have been
engaged as headliners. Other acts OF
this nature are Kerslake's pigs, which
shoot the chutes and skip a rope; the
three herds of the best trained ele-
plants in the country in a new act
high school of mules ard ponies, and
a company of trick horses under the
whip of Nola Satterfeld.
Among the forty aerialists the Flying
Jordans are easily the greatest in the
world. Others of great renown are
the Clarkonians, the Alvarez family,
new to America, the Millets, the Shaws
and the Aerial Smiths in three great
double trapeze acts, Joseph La Rep,
an aerial contortionist of great note,
and the Spanish mid-air acrobat, De
Mario. The Holloways, famed through
out Europe, are doing the most diff
mutt and daring high-wire act ever
before the public, and the Jordan sis
tiers, the Noetzel family and Claude
Roode are other highwire performers
of note.
Among the sixty acrobats are to be
seen such people as the famous De
Rocks with their gymhast-dog, the
Marnello- Marnite troup who play on
Swiss bells while mounting, leaping
turning handsprings and doing somer-
saults in the air; the Patty Brothers,
who walk on their heads; the Borsenis.
the Legards and the famous Mirze Go
lem troup Just from the court Of the
Shah of Persia. OF special note are
the Kaufmanns in a sensational BIZ
cycle and unicycle act, Marno. the cell
ebrared Spanish clown, and the Tore
doors are others whose acts are Great
ing great enthusiasm.
The Ringing Brothers have organ
lied this season the best company they
have ever had, with more genuine nov
city and more European acts than
have ever been presented in this coun-
try in all the past.

Various railway interests are en-
deavoring to locate the financial back
ing of the North Coast road which is
headed for Walla Walla. 1t has been
credited as a move of the Denver
Rio Grande system, others say it will
be part of the great Pennsylvania
trunk line and now it is apparently
tackled securely onto the Chicago Mil
waukee & ST. Paul. AS far as We are
concerned they can all come to Walla
Walla and will BIZ welcome 1t is
evident that there is going to be main
line of some rans-continental system
go through this fertile section of the
country and that Walla Walla is one
of the principal points to be reached
If they will just go ahead and build
the road We will not bother about who
it belongs to.

INTERESTING READING,
Passenger Agents Are Becoming Fa-
miliar With Tariffs.

Fourteen hundred and ninety six
tariffs are included in the new North
ern Pacific tariff list which went into
effect the first of the month. These
average five pages to the tariff, max
ing a voluminous list for the agents
to go through.
This list is required from the rail-
roads by law every three months and
must be not only alphabetically ar
ranged but also numerically. In addi-
ton to this it must have a commodity
index. Red Tape aplenty but it is all
for the protection of the public.
General Agent Calderhead of the
Northern Pacific is busy today check
ing up his tariff sheets with the new
list and as there are several pages in
cluded in the list he has his busy
day. sign out.

AS means of booming calculations,
newspapers all over the coast are
conducting various kinds of contests
and urging candidates for prizes to do
thsir soliciting. Even some of the
metropolitan papers are offering
something for nothing" in an endea-
vor to entice young people into a sub
scription scramble. Any way to get
subscribers seems to be the idea. II
the people will not subscribe on ac-
count of the merits of a publication
perhaps they will surrender on the ap-
peal of a candidate who is deserving
and wants to win that prize lawfully

in few temporary subscribers it is
the paper that continues to fearless
ly publish all the news at a reason
able price to it's patrons that maintain
the respect of the community.

MUST HAVE HEARD FROM WALLA
WALLA


The people need open rivers.
The state needs open rivers.
Apen rivers will bring about lower
traffic charges.
With lower cost for transportation
there will be greater development in
all lines.
Free open rivers will free the peo-
pie from the exactions of the trans
portation companies, whose policy
must be to exact all the traffic will
bear.
Open rivers would bring about
short trolley lines from river points
to the interior country and thus en-
able the people to fly with their own
WINGS" doing much for themselves
that now they depend upon others to
do for them, says the Oregon Journal.
Self-reliance is a great virtue.
To secure oper, rivers the people,
acting through their commercial
bodies, will have to exert themselves,
demand of their public servants seri-
ton nose is in this business and the
corporation finger is pointing the way
and guiding the public servant il. too
many instances. Our congressional
delegation is not free entirely from
this influence, as time will show.
"Procra stination is the thief Of
time" and the railroad corpora
tons, whose interests would be af-
fected by oper. rivers, are acting upon
this principle. They are exerting them
selves to delay the opening of the
rivers and several of the servants of
the people are aiding them in the work.
The people must awake and help
themselves; must demand and exact
servants, particularly their represent
atives in the legislature and in con-
gress. There is where the corporate
Influence is all powerful and where is
done the work of preventing the OPEN
ing of the rivers. The Willamette
river should be free to navigation
within a year or two, and the Column
bia and Snake rivers should be open
from Lewiston to the sea within three
to four years. Only the Incidence of
the people, as represented by their
commercial bodies ard their official
servants, will prevent it.
Portland should awake to her OPP
portunity and thus bring about a re-
suit that means more to her than any
other 10 things within her reach,
which guarantees an enlargement of
her empire and a vast increase in her
trade, importance, population and po-
sition, as the leading city of the
northwest Pacific coast.
But will she do it? Will she grasp
the opportunity, or will she sit supine-
ly by and let it slip?
What will the answer be?

ALL TRAFFIC WILL BEAR.
Florida Fruit Growers Complain Of
Rates On Railroads.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Florida
fruit growers have raised the question
of the distance factor in railroad
rates by complaining to the interstate
commerce commission that they are
charged almost as much for carriage
to New York as California growers
pay. One of the instances cited is a
rate of "a cents per hundred on certain
fruits from Florida to New York,
distance of 1900 miles, as compared to
rate of $1.15 that the Southern Pa
cific and it's connections charge from
Los Angeles to New York, a haul of
1850 miles. This, the Florida grow
ers claim, shows injustice, which the
commission is asked to correct.
No question of discrimination is in
vOlved, for the rates are made by diff
ferent roads. The real issue, if it
reaches a hearing, may result in re-
facilitating in popular esteem the mis-
leading phrase, "All the traffic will
bear The factor determining the
California rate is the competition
"iiASh thC PiOuoSCI VI liloI olotS HISclS
in the principal markets from his
Florida competitor. If the trans-con-
tinental lines charged considerably
more than they do charge for the 1850
mile haul from California, it would be
equitable on distance basis, as
against the charge for the 1900 mile
haul from Florida but the traffic
would not move" at such a rate, ard
the California growers would be
ruined.
Nobody has claimed that the Florida
growers are ruined because by means
of low rate California is given ac-
cess to the eastern markets. Florida's
nearness to the best market Ii an adj
vantage she does NOT lose through the
fact that by charging no more than
the trafhc will bear" the, railroads put
California in position to compete.
The interstate commerce commits

less decide that distance is only one,
I and not a controlling factor in rate
making. and that no one community
is entitled to a monopoly of market
because it is nearer than some other
community.

Uncle Sam May Be Able to Compete
With Trust.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE navy
department having established a pow
der plant near Washington two years
ago, the army followed suit. and it is
reported by General William E. Gro
zier. chief Of the bureau of ordnance
Of the army. that the government plant
at Dover, New Jersey. is making such
progress that the actual manufacture
of smokeless powder may be COM
menced next winter. The capacity of
the plant at Dover is about 10000
pounds day.
The army and navy plants. while
not sufficient perhaps to compete with
the powder trust. which Is about to be
dissolved, are valuable institutions. 1t
is evident to many of the officers OF
the army and navy that had the prop
osition in 1902 to build government
factories been taken hold of at the
time, instead Of wasting the interim on
boards of conference, the powder trust
would have long ago ceased to have
the powder to hold up the government
on prices.
