portance to the nurses of this city and

sions of the work occupied the ses-
sion.
AS delegate to the state association
of graduate nurses. Miss Grace Halver

Both are competent and experienced
nurses and are capable representatives
of the local association.
Among other matters which came UP
for discussion was that of a nurses

for the nurses during any period of
sickness. 1t will be similar to the rail-
road benefit funds, Or those of frater-
mai organizations. While nothing def

COMPROMISE IS REACHED
ON 0. R. 8 \. COUNTY TAXES
Commissioners Arrange With Railway At
torneys to Accept $52,5O in FuI--An
Suits Are to Be Withdrawn,

Through the action of the county
commissioners this morning, some
z52 900 will be added to the funds in
tho county treasury in the near future.
An agreement was reached between r.
= Moody and J. w. Morrow for the
q r. K n. company and the county
commissioners for the county, whereby
The long disputed tax differences of the
railroad company are adjusted.
The company agrees to pay the 1905
taxes as originally fixed by the as
-assers together with a bonus of $1,000
in lieu Of interest. The 1906 tax is
uaid on the valuation set by the rail-
road commission, with six per cent in
teyest instead of Is as has been held
tot all the time.
BY this agreeent, the county Goes out
about $4,000 shy OF the amount first
asked fer The taxes of 1905, assessed
by the county assessor on the basis OF
S15O6 Der mile, amount to $25,294.52.
TO this is added a bonus of $1,000.

TROY, Ala, April 7.-Following a

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-04-07

The county commissioners originally
raised this valuation to $4,000 but
today agreed to let it so as first as
sessed. The 1906 tax is determined on
a basis Of $4,000 per mile, as set by
the railroad commission, instead of
$4,000 as first made by the assessor.
The interest is reduced from Is per
cent. as has always been collected for
delinquent taxes, to six per cent On
the two compromises, the railroad
saves about $4,000 over the tax first
levied AMI with interest. Further the
company withdraws the suit pending
against the county in the courts.
While this seems to be a great loss
fer the county. opinions differ in the
matter, many attorneys believing that
the county is entitled to no more than
was collected under the compromise.
Others say the full amount could and
should have been secured However,
the county is saved by the compromise,
from a long and costly litigation.

WEATHER SERVICE
FOR FARMERS
COMPANY ARRANGES
TO FURNISH FORECASTS FOR
RURAL SUBSCRIBERS.

With the rural free delivery and the
telephone, comes now the weather bu-
reau service for the farmer. Arrange
ments have been recently made with
the local telephone company by the
weather bureau. whereby farmers may
call central any time after 9 o'clock
in the morning and learn the weather
for the next day. 1t is not necessary
to call up the weather bureau, central
has card before her with the predic-
ton on it and by merely asking her
foc the prediction, the ruralist who is
up to date enough to have phone can
learn what the weather is to be.
This will be of inestimab,e benefit
to farmers in this part of the country.
Predictions of frost, rain, or of fair
weather, are always of interest and
profit to the farmer, whose activities
are always dependent upon the weather.
There are many advantages of this
kind prepared for the farmer by the
bureau of agriculture, of which he has
no knowledge, and therefor is not able
to take advantage of. Circulars on
every branch of farming, even of archi-
lecture of barns and chicken houses,
may be had for the asking. There is
no reason why the farmers should not
take advantage of the opportunity in
weather predictions now offered them
and doubtless many will.

school before in debate. Eells will do

The State college has always had
strong debating teams and this year is
stronger than usual. The members of
the w. S. c. team have somewhat the
of the Whitman bays in that
they have had the choice of sides of the
question. The w. S. G. team is COM
posed OF Milton Newhouse, IL, j. c.
Blair, 'OS, and N. j. Akin, 'OS. These

Sen. M'CUMBER
IS HOPEFUL
WRITES HE HOPES TO PUSH
THROUGH PUBLIC BUILDING
BILL FOR BISMARCK
CONGRESSMAN MARSHALL SAYS
1T ALL DEPENDS ON HAIR
MONY

The following letter has been re-
ceived by the Commercial club from
Senator McCumber
"You can be assured that if We get
an omnibus bill the Bismarck public
building will be looked after. I think
/ will have one pass the senate before
such omnibus bill is introduced"
Also the following letter was re-
ceived from Hon. Thos. F. MARSHALL:
"My understanding is that there will
be small public building bill put
through. Our delegation will doubt
less have to agree ON one or, at the
outside, two place where buildings
are desired and join their force to
secure them. 1t will take the utmost
harmony to secure them; as yet we
have not discussed the matter. 1t is
a sure thing that il We do not pull
together, and pull hard, we will get
nothing"
Every person in Bismarck who is
interested in getting public building
here should take it upon himself to
write each member of the North Da-
kota congressional delegation urging
upon him to do everything in his pow
er to get am appropriation for pub
lie building at Bismarck. We must
put up a united front so they will
know we really want this building.
AS Mr.. Marshall says, nothing can be
done unless We all pull together. Bis
marck is the only state capital in
the country without a government
building and if any city in the coun-
try needs such building it is Bis
marck
