Ex-secretary of the Treasury
Shaw, 10 speaking to the board of
trade a tHaverbill, Mass, touched
the keynote of the financial strin-
gency, when he declared that the
panic was brought on through an
extravaganza of living on the part of
the people of this country. 1t is
only too true that they were living
at a rate far beyond their means. In
the past six or eight years the times
have been so prosperous that the
money has flowed along in a golden
stream with seemingly little posi-
billty Of it's stopping. Taking IA rosy
view of the financial situation there
Was no regard paid to the future and
the people went in for the extrava-
gance which eventually brought
about the unpleasant situation.

view OF the financial situation there
Was no regard paid to the future and
the people went in for the extrava-
gance which eventually brought
about the unpleasant situation.
The cunning hand of the insur-
gent leaders is now being displayed
in the management of the coming
primaries, and it is now seen with
what care the primary law was
drawn so that the insurgent wing of
the republican party could operate
under the section by which it would
be able to maintain its supremacy.
The supposition was that the pri-
mary Law vas enacted to give the
sole right of selecting delegates to
conventions or nominate officers of
the county and state to the people.
However a provision was inserted
which gave the privilege to the
majority of the county central COM
mittee to make their W selection
OF delegates to conventions. 1t was
settled by A. o. Ringsrud a week
ago that the delegates for the coming
conventions would be selected by the
caucus system, this as a result Of the
edict declared by the insurgent
machine Of this state. Up in
Mcpherson county a few days ago the
county central committee, which Is
composed Of a majority Of insurgent
Republicans, held q meeting and
decided to select the delegate for
THAT county to the state convention.
The stalwart members on the COM
mittee protested and objected to this
high handed method Of thwarting the
voice OF the voters Of that county In
having something to say about who
the delegates shall be but their pro-
tests were UNDECIDED. The county
central committee will select the
delegates. That's a fair illustration
LOT the great faith the insurgent
republicans seem to have in the
common people" of whom they
prate so much about. Why, they
don't dare to come out In the open
and tiRht for the delegation to the
state convention. They propose to
run that convention regardless of the
primary law and all their promises
The insurgents realize that their
cause is waning and that their sup
porters are rapidly falling away, and
that II they left it toa vote of the
people that they would be defeated
In securing an insurgent delegation.
1t is very evident that In every
county Of the state where the county
central committee is composed of a
majority Of insurgents that the same
plan is to be followed out. notwith.
standing the protests that are being
made against such methods. 1t
shows clearly how little faith the in
surgents themselves have in the pri-
mary law, although they made 1t one
of the strongest issues in the cam
paign, and the supposition was that
they would gladly welcome the
change. When the insurgents show SC
little confidence in their own laws
what can they expect the people Of
The state to do but to drift away
from a misguided set of men. whose
ambitions are simply &c make a

Alfalfa Mill to Be Added
TO WaIId WdIId Industries

renewed after l had made a trip to
Echo, and returned with samples of
the alfalfa meal. l also have samples
turned out from a st. Louis mill.
Everyone conversant with the
subject knows that the best part
is the stalk or stem which cattle in
variably leave in the feed racks. Con-
siderable discussion has been INDUCED
in as to what use this waste hay might
be put, and the alfalfa mill proposed
for Walla Walla answers the whole
question.
I'm appearance the meal is similar
to chaff, though somewhat finer. 1t re-
tains the odor of the plant before it is
ground, and cattle eat it with the
greatest relish"
Just when actual operations are to
be started has not been announced, but
it is said that the plans have been
drawn up, and that negotiations for
the machinery have been entered into.
1t is expected that the establishment Of
such mill here will greatly increase
the product of alfalfa in this valley,
as the farmers may take their hay to
the mill, and have it ground into the
meal much in the same manner as
they have their grain chopped at the
chop mills now in operation.

Motions for dismissal have been
filed in the superior court in IS of the
IS cases of Charles w Hunt against
citizens of the Wala Walla valley,
which suits have been pending for 13
Years The ground for the motions is
non prosecution.
The cases We're filed by Charles w.
Hunt, on or about December Is, 1895.
In all, 6S cases We're filed. some have
been pushed to successful completion
br the plaintiff, but most of them are
SJll dragging in the court.
The history of the cases is interest
ing In April. about the first of that
month 1883, agreements were signed
between property owners of Washing
ton territory and Charles w. Hunt,
guaranteeing him bonus for building
a standard guage railroad from Wal
lula easterly, by the way of Eureka
Flat to Walla Walla. The amounts
given varied, most of them being be-
tween $1,000 and $25OO. Half was to
he paid in cash. the other half either
in cash Or wheat. In return for this,
the road was to be finished in nine
months, and to be in operation by
January l, 1889.
The road, which was Originally
known as the Oregon and Wishing
ton Territory railroad. later as the
WASHINGTON & Columbia River rail-
road and now as the Walla Walla
branch of the Northern Pacific, was
completed at the time specified; but

Coaches Choose
All Star Northwest Team

of all the coaches for his position, the
only one who is Wolff gets all the
votes, but is variously named for half
and full back. Borleske is without
doubt the most brilliant stellar lumin
airy of the northwest in the football
constellation.
Cherry gets the position in the CEN
ter of the line. He has the majority of
first choice votes and more second
choice than his nearest rival, Tegt-
meir, of Washington Tegtmeier is
surely the second choice.
At guard there is a hard proposition
to determine things. Moullen has three
votes and one for tackle. He is a sure
place kicker and he should certainly
be, on this composite team. He is
given right guard The left guard is
verv difficult Hahn has two votes, and
Babcock has two votes, but as Rhein-
schild whose vote has not been re
ceived, cannot vote for his own man,
the place is given to Babcock, who is
a premier man e. the. position.
At tackle another hard proposition
arises Jamison, Pinkham and Eakin
each have two votes. Eakin is given
position on his general playing abll-
ity and his newspaper mention, which
has been generous and always favor
able Jamison, of o. A. c.. certainly
deserves the other. Pinkham is good
man, however, and has played good
game al season. But Eakin and Jan1l-
frid Ia
At end. Grimm and Savidge seem to
be the general favorites. Perhaps no
men in the northwest have shown bet
ter in this respect than Grosscup ana
McQuillen, of Whitworth, but the
naughty big six is all that can be
recognized.
Coyle. of Washington, is given the
Quarterback position. Small. of Idaho,
IS mentioned, also, but mostly the
coaches have no other choice than
COyle.
BorleSke, at left half, is unanimous.
At right half, the position is given to
Wolff, although he is voted for quite
strongly as fullback. But he plays
good game at half. and Clarke is good
at fullback In fact, Wolff has shown
better. at half than at full.
Clarke. of Oregon, is given the full
back position Most of the coaches vote
for Wolff at halfback to give the
Portland lad his position at fullback.
Borleske is chosen captain of the
team Wolff is to do the punting and
in case of his disability, Clarke would
be used, or Eakin taken from the line
if necessary. Moullen would be used
to score from the field. Blanchard would
be given the direction Of the team, with
DObie as a close second.
