PASSING OF MAJOR DENNIS.

In the death OF Major John Han
cock Dennis al Reno last week the
newspaper fraternity of Nevada has
lost one OF its most brilliant writer's.
He was writer OF acknowledged
ability, and to him more than TO any
other one man the democratic party
owes a debt il will never be able to
pay.
Major Dennis came to California
via Cape Horn at an early date and
for time followed mining, but fin
ally the bent of his mind took him
into the journalistic field and for sew
eral years he edited papers in the
Golden State. and came to Nevada
some time il the COS. He edited a
paper in Austin FOR several years and
finally formed q copartnership with

TABLES TURNED
ON THE BRITISH
Washington Officials Amused
al Riot Situation

WASHINGTON, Sept 1O.-Although
deploring the British Columbia riots,
it is difficult for officials at Washing
ton to conceal a grin. 1t has been
such a short time since the British
public opinion openly criticised the in
ability of the United States govern
ment to restrain the state mobs
against ''unoffending orientals.' The
size of the grin is undiminished by
the reflection that the principal ami e
mostly displayed by the Vancouver
mobS was directed against Japanese,
with Great Britain as such a good
friend. Almost an audible chucKle
arose when it became known that
Baron Ishii especially commissioned to
visit the Pacific coast to investigate
the cause of the anti-Japanese feeling.

ony at the time, was forced to fee

MAIN STREET
FOR CARNIVAL
Many Prizes Offered for
Parddes and Contests

On Thursday morning at 10 O'Clock
there will be placed en- sale at the
carnival headquarters, 500 season tick
cts at 81 eacn. These tickets will ad-
nit bearers to reserved seats in the
grandstand and will be the only re-
served seats in the grandstand. To
prevent speculation. only four tickets
will be sold to an individual and they
will be obtainable only at the carni-
val headquarters. The grandstand VIII
be placed for the best view OF the
queens throne, from which 10 of the
biggest events of the carnival will take
place. Besides these, there will pe
many special eXents placed there. AS
the number of tickets is thus limited,
there will be things doing at the head
quarters when the sale opens Ihurs-
day morning The tickets entit!e mold
ers to view the parades coronation
and everything which takes place at
the grand stand.
At a special meeting of the eXecu-
tives of the Commercial club of the
Harvest Festival it was definitely de-
cided that Main street is without
doubt the more advantageous street on
which to hold the big carnival. Al
der street is without doubt the most
beautiful street in the city but the
conditions are such that it is I'M
possible to properly conduct the car
niyal on the street. 1t seems impos-
sible to properly install electrical dec
orations, there being no lighting poles
upon which to string wires, and the
buildings being of various sizes 1t
would be impossible to attacn wires
to have any uniformity.
1t is a we'll known fact that the in
surance companies would not permit
electric wires, to be attached to build
ings without proper protection, ana
taking it all in all the expense would
be so great that it makes it impos-
sible to decorate Alder street
The Harvest Festival is receiving
a much larger amount of attention
from the distance than was at first
anticipated. 1t is desired to show
visitors the best possible spectacular
display and in order to do this every
facility for lighting and decorating
must be employed. There are large
number of disadvantages on Main
street. such as the street cars, heavy
traffic, etc, but the great advantages
and low cost of lighting and decor
ating of the street made it necessary
The electrical workers are busy put
ting. up wires and lights and will rush
the work to a completion as rapidly
as possible. Relays of wOrknien have
been engaged and will work day and
night from now on.

HARRAS MARKET
CHANGES HANDS
SHOPS WILL HANDLE PRODUCTS
OF LARGE WAlLA WAllA
PACKING HOUSE.

The Walla Walla Meat company has
purchased the butcher shop of Gus
Harras on West Alder street and will
operate the same in the future. OF
ficials of the Walla Walla Meat COM
pany deny that they are attempting to
secure a corner on the meat business
in the city as they have been accuses.
and say that the taking over of the
Harras shop was merely a business
proposition in which good buy was
offered, rather than the following out
of any prearranged plan to absorb all
of the smaller concerns in the city.
There are at present four different
meat concerns in Walla Walla ex-
elusive of the houses controlled by the
Walla Walla Meat company.
The shops of the Walla Walla Meat
company will, of course, all handle the
products of the new packing house
owned by the company, which is now
running in full blast, issuing all pro-
ducts ordinarily turned out by first
class packing house. The Walla Walla
packing house is the largest concern
of its kind this side of Seattle and
gives every promise of justifying the
enterprise of it's promoters.

HALLS OF WHITMAN COLLEGE
ARE CROWDED AS NEVER
BEFORE.

More than a hundred students ar
rived in town today to enter the col
lege at the opening of the fall term
Wednesday, Every train which has
come in today has been crowded with
new students anxious to get their first
glimpse of college of which they
have dreamed SO long, or with old
students who are eager to get back to
greet their old comrades. The Spo-
kane delegation, which will number
about 40 this year, came down in a
bunch this morning. From towns all
along the line, too students boarded
ternoon the college buildings, which
for three months have been without

who have returned for the years work.
All the dormitories are full, not a
room in any of them remains 10 be
taken. Never has the college had its
dor nitories so crowded at this time in
the year. The girls dormitories have
been taken since the middle of the
summer and there are scores of girls
On the waiting list who will Lot get in
to the halls. Prentiss hall is filled THIS
year for the first time in years. Some
what of an innovation has been intro
cuced there this year,-the upper class
girls going to that dorr,i ~cry % live

Although the real work of the col
lege will not begin untit Wednesday
the first formal exercisesAwill be held
tonight, most of the stAdfhts having

tomorrow night nearly all will be back
ready for the years work.
Football practice will probably not
begin until next week. Neither
Coach Baird nor Captain Dimmick
have vet returned but both are eX,-
pected back this week. The outlook
is good and indications point towards
a winning team this year.
The first chapel exercises will be
held tomorrow morning and the reg
ular work in the classroom will begin
next day.

visiting the merchants on Main street
securing their space and by Wednes-
day or Thursday all details for the
festival will be completed. The large
number of special features that have
been engaged will be very attractive
and one of the best features for en-
tertaining the visitors will be the big
Zone Ring Circus. This circus is
usually played through the country
making daily stands, but the propri-

cluded to come for one week.

promised to appear upon the queens

SHOULD AWAKEN
THE RAILROADS
Lei Them Know Wa|Id WdNa
is on The Nap

That there is more truth than fic-
tion in the report made to the Com
merciaI club recently that tickets for
WalIa Walla could not be purchased
in the east at many of the ticket Of
fees. and that the fault has not been
rrmedied as was reported to the club,
is evidenced by the experience of
Iadv who arrived in Walla Walla this
week from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
Her experience is enough to make
aDv citizen with Walla Walla spirit,
feel like putting on a pair of loggers
shoes and dancing the "can can" all
over the idiotic agent who sold her
transportation. When the lady asked
for a ticket to Walla Walla, the man
in Pitsburg got down. one of his rail-
looked as wise as an owl and informed
the woman that he could not sell her a
ticket to Walla Walla. He did not
know how she would ever get to WAX
large city through which any railroad
operated was Wallula; she could
probably take the stage from that city
to Walla Walla. The lady had hus-
band in Walla Walla who had written
10 her telling her how to get her ticket
through Pendleton by the way of the
Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line and
o. r. a. \. Although the woman tried
10 explain to the agent that she could
get a ticket to Walla Walla he knew
better and it was of no use to argue.
He had sold tickets for good many
wears and knew what he was talking
about.
Then after explaining to the lady
that she would probably be able to fin
some way of reaching Walla Walla he
sold her ticket to Wallula, routing
her via Pendletoh and Umatilla. Now
it 50 happened that the woman's
brought her over to Walla Walla or
she would have been taken to Umatilla
where she would have been unloaded,
to wait Indefinitely for train to WAL
lula where she could again have
waited for train to Walla Walla.
Even the conductor on the train was
going to let her go on to Umatilla and
back to Wallula.
1t seems that there is still work for
the Commercial club to do and it may
be necessary TO take a club to the
railroads or to some of their agents.
This all happened last week and now
h that the cOlOnist rates are in effect,
it would seem that the instructions as
announced by the railroads to the club
a Shor. time ago have lot reached the
eastern cities as yet.

CITY DARKENED
UNTIL MIDNIGHT
PART OF FLUME TORN AWAY AND
POWER PLANT WAS CUT
OF BUSINESS.

Destruction of a section of the fiume
through which water is conveyed to
the power plant on the Walla Walla
river resulted in the shutting off Of
all electric power in Walla Walla from
o'clock yesterday morning until II
o'clock last night. 1t was said by COM
pany officials that a landslide tore
away a part of the flume.
The shutting down of the electric
plant came without an instant's warn
ing and the city was left in darkness.
The morning newspaper was left with
half it's issue imprinted. Residents in
for early morning cars. All indus
tries dependent upon electricity for
motive power were suspended.
Throughout the day no accurate in
formation could be secured from the
officials of the power company. Vari-
Gus rumors were incirculation to the
effect that the power would be resumed
at this hour or that but nightfall came
and found the city still without the
Juice" A few places of business
which had not previously installed gas
fixtures installed them yesterday but
the vast majority of business houses
found it necessary to depend upon coal
oil or candles for light and to do
without motive power Early in the
evening it was stated that the water
had been turned back through the
flume and that the power would be
ON by o'clock But it was not until
four hours later that lines actually
got busy.
