The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-02-10

Rumors that the Spokane & Inland,
known as the Graves line will be ex-
tended on to Walla Walla and thence
to the Columbia river to connect with
the open river fleet, seem to be more
than idle speculation. Mr.. Graves has
given Lewiston people assurance that
the electric line is to be extended to
that city in the near future Or as
soon as the necessary finances can be
secured. In view of Mr.. Graves success
in floating bonds for his railway en-
terprises, this will prove a minor mat
ter. Lewiston people, naturally, are
much elated over the announcement
that the electric line is to be extended
into that territory. An electric line
giving quick transportation to the i'm
mense amount of fruit, grain and live
stock produced in the Lewiston dis
trict, has been a matter under con-
sideration with Lewiston people for
several years. The building of the line
on to Walla Walla. touching Pome-
roy, Dayton, Waitsburg and smaller
towns enroute, would open up to the
small farmer a vast territory of ex-
ceedingly fertile country and undoubt-
eddy would prove from the start a pay
ing investment TO the Graves interests.
Walla Walla, naturally the seat of this
vast empire, would reap enormous
benefit by the building of the Graves
line or any other electric road, putting
this city in close touch with a district
unexcelled for its fertility and untold
resources.

A Tacoma man is reported to have
cleaned up a quarter of a million dol
lars by the sale of tract of land near
the Hanford district which he pur-
chased a few years ago for $4,000
While a profit of this magnitude is
something rare, the undulating sand
hills along the Columbia contain a
store of wealth, ready to be released
by the application of water and intel
iigent cultivation, which are proving a
big factor in the development of {,
vast empire along the great water
way

of prunes were dried in the county
this season by dryers belonging to 124
growers.
A conservative estimate of cents
per pound would therefore make this
crop worth to the growers 1926, 900.
The prevailing price was more than
cents, but Mr.. Armstrong thinks he
is safe in saying that the prunes net
ted the grower s cents. The amount
credited to each dryer ranges from
1873 tons down to two tons.
over half OF the total crop was
grown in the Liberty Rosedale Sec
ton, this part of the county produc-
ing 171S tons. or 9.436.O00 pounds.
In the Salem district there were pro-
duced 100000 pounds. The rest were
scattered in various parts Of the coun-
try.
The inspector states that this years
crop was not at all unusual and that
there appears to be no reason now
known why the 1908 crop should not
be fully as large He says that the
trees appear to be in good condition
throughout the country.

INDIANS SUPPLY HORSES.
Crow Tribe VIII Raise Cavalry Mounts
for Government.

Because the Crow Indian is a nat
ural horseman, quick to solve good
points of horse, wonderfully gifted
in breaking and training them for
special classes Of work, I shall at an
early date recommend that blood
stations be purchased and sent to
the reservations Of that tribe in Mon
tana and that a large stock farm be
created there for the purpose Of form
Ing cavalry remount station" said
Indian Commissioner Leupp yester-
day.
"It was the original purpose Of the
founders Of the Indian bureau that
the Indians should all become far
mers," continued the commissioner.
THAT was a fallacious hope and
foolish thought The western blanket
indian is not adapted to the pursuit
of agriculture. He has spent too
many centuries in ldleness or in the
hunt to settle down to farming pur-
suits and as farming has become a
science the proclaimed savage cannot
hope to successfully compete with
the thinking white men. But he can
raise fine horses, as we'll as anybody,
and the government is in constant
need Of cavalry horses.
"There has been a suggestion made
that we cross the American mares
which the Crows raise with the stall
lions Of the Morgan strain or with
the Arabian barb. Which is the best
I am not able to say. When 1t has
been determined just what strain
makes the best horse for speed and
bottom believe that splendid indus
try will have been created for the
Crows and that there will be a con-
slant market for the output because
Of the constant need Of cavalry
horses"

THEATRE SEASON OPENS.
Some Dancing, A Few eaudy Clothes, Meaningless Mugoing, and
 That's All.

The season at the Holt Opera House was opened this week with perform. ances on Monday and Tuesday nights of a sketch called "On Gay Broad way It was the thinnest sort of stuff imaginable, but it afforded Op- portunities for dancing and changes of costume, and it was not offensive. There was some harmless nonsense, which passed for fun and was laughed at by the audience. The Salome dance was given with considerable grace, and was really the best thing in the show, but it did not arouse any en- thusiasm. It was probably an ex- purgated version of the original.
 The house was filled, but that is no evidence that the people of the valley are content with that sort of theatri- cal entertainment; they tolerate it because anything that purports to be a show serves to pass away an even ing. It is a mistake on the part of Manager Wyatt to send theatrical rub bish to Imperial Valley. The people here want better entertainment and will appreciate something worth while. It is to be hoped that Mr. Wyatt has some real dramatic attractions on his list, something that intelligent audi ences can sit through without feeling foolish.

Why Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi- nary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment imagine that colds are not dangerous. Everyone knows that pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their origin in a common cold. Con- sumption is not caused by cold but the cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs that would not have otherwise have found Judgement. It is the same with all infectious diseases. Diphthe- ria, scarlet fever, measles and whoop- ing cough are much more likely to be contracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this that more real danger turks in cold than in any other of the common ailments. The easiest and quickest way to cure a cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The many remarkable cures effected by this preparation have made it staple article of trade over a large part of the world For sale by Sam w. Dunaway, Druggist.
