some pretty light material, the upper
part and the edge Of the pocket being
trimmed with lace. Little festoons of

other opportunity to make good.
Mr.. King returned from eastern
WASHINGTON over the North Bank road.
He claims a large amount of splendid
wheat country has been opened to
market by this road. He also predicts
that much of the land lying contlgu-
Gus to the North Bank will now be
placed under irrigation, making that
section of the state perhaps as famous
for it's fruitfulness and prosperity as
the Yakima valley.
According to wheat growers OF the
Walla Walla valley, conditions have
not in ten years been more satisfac-
tory, nor weather more conductive to
an excellent growth before severe Win
tee weather comes on. In the great
lureka Flat wheat belt, it is said grain
has attained a splendid growth and is
well qualified to Withstand the freezing
weather which is expected to occur In
January and possibly in February
Farmers who have broke even" on

have this year sown large acreage
of fall grain, and they are highly
pleased with weather conditions which
have given the plant such strong
and healthy growth.

After waiting for more than week
for Sterling Hall to call at the post

Sheriff Jesse Lieuallen arrested him
last night, on a holdup charge made by
the Adams county officials. 1t had

Hall came to town yesterday and put
up at the Delmonico.
Sheriff ellison, Of Ritzville, came
down to get the prisoner today and
will take him back tonight. He says
the charge against Hall Is that OF
holding up a store in Keystone
Washington, from which he secured
trif1e over 800.
Hall at first strenuously denied his
identity but at last admitted that was
his name. although he says he knows
nothing of the holdup.

ing of the state federation. Some of
the Workmen on the west side, being
more fully versed as to the cause of the
differences between the fair manage
ment and the unions than are laborers
in other sections of the state, say that

should refuse to have anything what
ever to do with the exposition. More
conservative Workmen, however, argue
in support Of their belief that the A.

press Of the Pacific northwest, and will
be source of an education to thous-
ands from the east, as well as to men,

State Federation Nay Lift&
Boycott on A-Y-p air

one of the important questions which
- IN be brought up at the meeting of
,ba state Federation of Labor in this
citv January 6 to 8, and which will
rrobably cause considerable discus
sion both pro and con, is tnat of rails
ing the boycott on the Alaska Yukon
pacific exposition in Seattle, the Ia
toriug men of the west side having
baan on bad terms with the management
for some time because of a rough deal
oi,-en the union men. The question
came ND at the meeting Of the state
fa5eration in Tacoma last year, at
which time the boycott was announced
# is argued by labor leaders Of the
state that the boycott is having no eff
fact in retarding the progress of the
buiIdings on the fair grounds, and II
oon+inued will but prevent thousands
f Iaboring men and their families of
,ba state and the Pacific northwest
fr,n attending the exposition next year
There are two sides to the question,
and II is considered likely that both
