Many New Buildings.


At the present time there are under
construction in the city of Walla
Walla more than 100 buildings of diff
ferent kinds, including dwelling houses
factories and stores. The record of
building permits issued since the first
of the year shows a total of IS, hav-
ing a valuation Of $110,206.00. Many
permits for buildings to be construct
Ell. which are now in process of erec-
ton, were issued before the first of
the year, hence they do not show in
the list for the months of January,
February and March. Investigation,
however. makes it a conservative es-
innate to assert that there are now
building or about to commence, $780,
GOO worth of new structures. In
creasing in ratio since January 1,
1909, the record of building permits
with the number and value of the
buildings under construction is as fol-
lows: January II, buildings with a
value of $7765; February 81, build
ings, valued at 1885; March 35,
buildings with a value of $62,S46;
bringing the combined total up to
$11C2O6
Testifying to the solidarity of the
municipal growth is the large proper
ton of residences which are included
IN the list of permits granted in the
three months. Fully rs per cent OF
the buildings under construction in
the city now consist of cottages and
dwelling houses The suburban growth
Is notable feature of the city's pro-
gross.
Too Numerous to Enumerate.
Houses which are building and for
which permits have been allowed are
too numerous to enumerate in full,
but few of these being built or about
TO be commenced are as follows:
Ernst Knit, a $4,000 cottag in block
10, Langford's addition; ]. F. Shell
ton, a cottage in WATERFOWL ad-
dition; Mrs. John Warren. cottage
on Chestnut avenue, near Sprague;
Mrs. Frank Myers, cottage in Dandes
addition; Henry LASER, cottage at 210
Willard street; S. NJ. Cuttney, cottage

The Supervisors Meet.

Henry Hill, who visited the county seat this week, returned home last night. He reports that the super. visors had most interesting session over the building of the new bridges in the valley and the purchase of the county poor farm.
 Petitions were presented from this end of the county protesting against the purchase of land at the rate of about S400 per acre including unsuit. able buildings for such an institution. A protest was also registered against the building of a steel bridge across the San Simon within the town limits of Solomonville. The bridge between Solomonville and Stafford will more than likely be built.
 The resolutions passed at the mass meeting held in Clifton last week and sent to Solomonville were not presented to the board as they were not properly drawn and could not have been considered legally.
 On account of lack of time a more general report cannot be given in the Era this week.

Standard Oil Looking After Clifton
 Interests.

w. O. Cundale, c. O. Flint and c. A. Watson, representatives of the Standard oil company, spent a few days of this week in Cliff ton on business connected with their company. While they did not make any statement as to their mission in Clifton, it is supposed that they are figuring on entering Clifton and establishing local distributing branch here, the same as they have in many other important cities and towns where their product is not handled. exclusively.
 It is a well known fact that for some time the greatest portion of gasoline and kerosine sold on the local market is the product of an in dependent Texas company. As there is an immense big oil trade in Clifton, it is probably the object of the Stand ard to compete for the business. As far as is known no definite arrange ments were made by the parties who visited Clifton this week, as their visit was of a preli minary nature.
 If the Standard people do establish a distributing point in Clifton, it is probable that gasoline and kerosine oil will be much cheaper than it is now 4-G-

A. < N. M. Rolling Stock.

Under the supervision of Master Mechanic Dawson the A. & N. M. rolling stock is fast reaching perfec- tion. The locomotives of both the A. SS N. M. and Coronado railroad are in better condition than they have been for several years and the regular passenger train is beginning to look like something. Coach No. 6, combi- nation observation and clair car, has just been turned out of the shop and presents a better appearance than when it was new. It has been thoroughly overhauled in every par ticular; the woodwork, both inside and outside has been scraped and re- painted and the scars and bruises have been removed.
 The old combination baggage and passenger coach, which was burned at Clifton some time ago, is now be- ing rebuilt and exchanged into baggage, mail and express coach. When completed it will give the A. & N. M. an extra coach for this pur- pose. The road also has an extra passenger coach. As fast as it can be done every coach on the road will receive general overhauling.

Hunting for Horses and Thieves.

Ex-Sheriff Jim Parks, Sheriff An derson and Earl Sands composed a posse which left. Clifton early last Friday morning for the Apache coun- try in search of band of thieves who stole bunch of horses from the Parks ranch. From what we could learn the parties who stole the horses did so in rather deliberate manner and it is a miracle that they were not caught before they got out of the country. MT. Parks secured some in- formation about the thieves at Solo monville and has also traced them to several ot their stops. The names of the thieves are not known to the pub lie and if the posse know them it has not been made public.
 When asked about their chase, the posse stated that they were confident that they would get the horses and the thieves, and if they run across the rustlers they will either come in alive or in a tanned condition. One of the thieves and several of the horses have been caught iu the upper country. All of the boys in the posse known the country we'll and if there is any chance they will certainly get their game.
 Running down rustlers is an old pro- fession for Jim and with the assistance of Anderson and Sands there will be something doing when they meet the fellows they a re lnnlrinn fnr-

BIG CIRCUS AT TUCSON.
RingIing Brothers to Exhibit There on
 September 18th.

Ringling Brothers Worlds Great est Show is coming this season with new laurelS won at Madison Square Garden in New York because of the unprecedented excellence of their performance. It is in all respects the very best circus that was ever organized, and the two performances that will be given in Tucson will be given exactly as they were presented in Manhattan, not the slightest change having been made since the season opened there.
 There are no less than seven sen sations on the program, any one of which is great enough to give a cir GUS distinction. There are the won- derful Schumann horses which waltz on their hind legs, drink from large glasses and roll each other around in large beer barrels; elephants that use the telephone, Conversing with each other over the wire from one end of the main tent to the other {; the thrilling double somersaulting automobile act, performed by young French girl; Roblidello, the Mexican wire wizard; the wonderful Lorch family of acrobats and 100 other great acts that are new to America. ..
 This will be the only opportunity lOl lnC DCODlC Ol All1IOu u SCC ling Brothers circus, and probably never again will such an array of European talent be seen under one management, as the expense of giY- ing such program is almost beyond belief.
 The parade will be given at 10 o'clock in the morning and it is an entirely new spectacle. Some of its features are camels, zebras, deer, elephants and llamas driven in teams like horses and harnessed to ornate tableaux. The parade will be three miles long. The menagerie, too, is a wonderful affair, greatly enlarged and filled with strange specimens of the animal world. At the head of the menagerie is Darwin, the missing link, which lives in a miniature house with windows, electric lights, hot water heater, chairs and tables. Darwin eats with a knite and fork, drinks from bottle and slaves him. self

Billiards After Gales.

Chicago, May 1.-While the process
sion of tornadoes that swept from the
Great Lakes down the Mississippi val
ley to the Gulf of Mexico spread untold
ruin in its path, on the edges of the
meteorological disturbance there was
experienced different kind of disaster.
Heavy SHOWS and billiards are report
ed from both the east and west borders
of the disturbed area, and winter con-
ditions prevail in Pennsylvania, the
Northern lake states and the more
Westerly states of Wyoming, Montana,
Colorado and Northern Texas.
Anywhere up to foot of snow has
been reported from these states, with
billiards. of the widest winter kind
raging in the North and West. Ire
meIdous damage has been done to early
small fruit crops, and the apple crop is
also reported seriously injured. Aside
from this, great suffering has been ex-
perienced on the sheep and cattle rang
es, and many animals have already sue
cumbed to the violence of the weather.
Freezing and zero weather is report
ed at many points, and the Sc
verest of conditions prevail. On the
lakes great suffering has resulted,
though the high winds that preceded
the colder weather have apparently
broken up the ice and liberated many
blockaded vessels, thus alternating to
certain degree the hardships of the lake
sailors.

Japan Is TRYING
TO CORNER CHINA
Refuses TO Withdraw Garrison From
Manchuria When Demanded.
viii Continue to Maintain Control
Takes Advantage of China's Diff
cuIties to Maintain Foothold and
Threatens Her If She Insists or
Her Rights.

Victoria, B. c.. April 29.-News
was brought by the Shinano Maru that
Japan is preparing to enforce her hold
on Manchuria. An agitation is under
way for a stronger policy toward
China" The Japanese Herald of Yo-
kohama says the impression is gaining
ground that Japan, taking advantage
of the difficulties, diplomatic and do
nestle, confronting China's executive,
is trying deliberately, but none the
less relentlessly, to force that country
into a diplomatic quandary- Japan,
appreciating China's weakness, in mil
itary, naval and financial matters, is
prodding her into acquiescence in COM
pacts derogatory to China's future well
fare. and the present concessions will
but whet Japan's appetite for more.
In the meantime China is reported to
have demanded the withdrawal of
Japan's garrisions and policemen along
the Antung- Mukden railway. Consul
General Koike in Mukden refuses to
entertain that demand, in view of ar
ticle of the Pekin convention, on the
ground that the Antung- Mukden rail-
road is branch line of the South Man
churian railway. China does not ac-
quiesce in the consul generals conten-
ton. This new difficulty may delay
the construction.of the Antung- Mukden
line.
Commenting on the situation, Jap
anese newspaper says:
"Japan will maintain the footholds
which she legitimately acquired in
Manchuria. Japan will not necessar-
lily feel aggrieved if the Manchurian
question remains unsettled, but it will
be extremely inadvisable for China.
If China fails to resume the negotia-
tions, Japan will proceed with her en-
terprises in Manchuria according to
her own control.
