POSTOFFTCE SAFE WAS
BLOWN AT WALLULA

Robbers blew open the safe of the
wallula postoffice some time last
night and succeeded in getting away
with what money was contained
therein and also a quantity Of stamps
But meagre details of the robbery
have been received here. The safe
was blown open by the use of nitro
glycerine, but it is not known just
what the plunder amounted to. Three
men, all of whom had been lettering
around Wallula for several days, are
suspected of the crime.
Descriptions of these men have
been sent out and all the officers in
this section are .on the lookout for
the men.

Instead of mere 500-foot addition
to the wing wall at the upper end OF
the levee the city is going to extend
the wall this year clear to the o. r.
G. n. railroad bridge. An agreement
to extend the wall has already been
signed by Contractor Belts and when
his contract is finished this fall the
upper part OF the levee will be fully
completed according to the plans OF
Messrs. Young & Kelsay.
When the levee contract was let to
W. C. Belts a month or more ago. the
specifications called for a 500-foot
extension to the wing wall. At the
time It was thought the city hadn't
sufficient funds to extend the wall
further.
But 1t has since been found that
there will be plenty of money to ex-
tend the wall to the railroad bridges.
This means an additional extension Of
$50 feet and when completed the wall
will be 1850 feet in length.
Under the terms of the contract
with Belts. the city has the power to
alter its specifications by adding new
work and the contractor is required
to do the work for the same compen-
sation he receives for work under the
original contract.
In an official notice sent him sat
urday by Messrs. Ell and Mumm of
the levee committee, Mr.. Belts was In.
structed to complete the wing wall
to the railroad bridge. He immedi-
ately accepted the alteration in the
plans.

Rushing Levce Work.

Work on the levee is progressing
very rapidly and every effort is being
made to have the work finished be-
fore there is any danger from high
water Joe ELL chairman of the levee
committee, feels strongly the need OF
haste and is doing everything in his
power to hurry the work through
According to him no time can be lost
or the improvements win be unfin'
ished when the high water comes this
fall.
Aside from the further extension or
the upper wing wall the levee con-
tractor also has some toe wall work
to do between the Lee street bridge
and the extension work at the lower
end of the levee. A score of teams
are now at work at the lower end.

When the wing wall is extended
down the river to the railroad bridge
the city will add many acres to the
triangular tract Of land lying above
the water works. Most Of the land is

BARNETT B, p, 2:O612 is brown stallion
stands 1872 hands high and weighs 1898
pounds folded 1895. Bred by G. NJ. COch-
ran, MiddletOwn Del.
Barnett B, 2:0613 crack = mile) World Is
Champion StalliOn-hOlds worlds record
for the three fastest consecutive heats over
a half mile track in a regular race.
His record of 2:0615 was made over half
mile track and is a worlds record for
stallion over a half mile track in a regularly
contested race. That he is a good consls-
tent race horse is shown by the fact that he
reduced his record of 2:144 ID 1904, to
2;10L in 1905 and to 2:064 in 1906.
Individually he is a perfect horse. His
disposition is the best, having raced three
years without break, and tOday.is absolute
ly sound.
The year this horse took his record he
had served forty-eight mares, and only had
seven weeks preparation for the race.
The limit of this horses speed has never
been reached, as he has not had first class
opportunity. He gets fine colts, and is the
sire of only one colt (two years old showed
quarters over Currys track at Greenwood
Del, in 81 seconds. His yearlings showed
considerable speed. His sucklings have
sold as high as $3.50.
He will make the season of 1903 at 800 OO

Ask the mother who holds in

tel! you that she desires that his

could be laid upon u pillow ald

bition may lie SO hoy that it
could he Whispered in an angels
ear; and that his lite may be SO
clean that his mother, his sis fer,
his wife, his child, could read a
record of it's every thought and
act without a blush. But ask
her if she will require this perfec-
tion in her son before she show
ers her love upon him, and she
will answer, "No." She will tell
you that she will make him as
good as she can; that she will
follow his footsteps with a daily
prayer; that in whatever land he
wanders her blessing will abide
with him; ana that when he dies
she'll hope, hope, yet hope that
he has lived. This is all that she
can do. All that any of US can
do Tor ourselves or for Others is
the best that opportunity and
circumstances permit.-William
