While working in the capacity of
engineer ON the asphalt mixer of the
Barber Paving company, which is To-
Gated on the north end of Ninth street
E. L. Casey fell under the main shaft
of the machinery this morning at IL
o'clock and before he could be released
had both legs broken in several places
his feet crushed and an arm broker.
The cause of the disaster cculd not be
as no ore saw the man
when he fell. but tha machinery was
stopped as soon as his cries for help
were heard.
1t was then found that he could not
be removed without literally tearing
him to pieces if the machinery re-
manned as it was and for over half an
hour. the crew was busy removing
such parts as would make it easy to
release him.
During this time. Casey retained
and directed the opera
tions looking to his removal. His
nerve was marvellous and by keeping
his wits, he kept the other Workmen
calm until he was finally released. An
ambulance was summoned in the
meantime and was at the scene when

The owners of the orchard that is

with great anticipation to the other

Gated about three quarters of mile

About 5000 feet of pipe are being

will be sold Independent of the Nor
row-Drew company and as soon as the
three top floors are vacated they will
'be cut into offices and thrown open as
such. The building next door to the
Drumheller structure, or the Harras
property, will have an addition put on
it and it's heighth will be raised to
three stories.
The ground between the old Wolfe
property and the Dime, or the Timber
lake land will also be used for the site
of another building which will be joined
to the other buildings and as the ar
chitectural structure will be the same
the entire block will be of like order
This move has been contemplated for
some time, but owing to the fact that
the management of the Dime Moving
Picture show held lease on its pres
ent quarters operations could not be
commenced until the expiration of that
lease. 1t is now expected, however,
that the work of construction will be
started very soon and it is the inten
tions of the company to have made
considerable headway by December l..
An elevator will be constructed fac
ing on Alder street and a front stair
way is to be another addition. A heat
ing plant for the three buildings, which
are to be connected by halls, will be
installed and when completed this block
will be by far the finest in the city.
The Drumhellers will not resume
business of the sort they are now en-
gagged in.
When the Morrow Drew company
takes possession of the entire lower
floor. which has a frontage of 80 feet
and is 12O feet deep, tney will remodel
the interior into the latest and most
modern fashion This firm Will then
conduct a jobbng business in connec-
ton with the retail trade and intends
to keep one of the finest stocks on
hand in the northwest. An opening
for the iobbing business has been dis
covered and a man will soon be on the
road working in the interests of this
business. The company intends to oc-

making the increase over the old sys-
tenn about $500. In the case Of the
coroner the increase will amount to
approximately $3.50.
According to attorneys who were in
terviewed today the new salaries will
become effective next month. and the
action Of the county commissioners is
said to be irrevocable In case they
should attempt to rescind their action
in adopting the resolution, the county
officers may, in compliance with the
supreme court decision, bring mandam-
us proceedings to compel payment Of
the salary for a seventh class county
when proof has been supplied that
Waila Walla county has such a popu-
lation.
The action of the commissioners was
recommended by the publicity depart
ment of the Commercial club and the
Walla Walla Real Estate board those
organizations having seemingly been
under the impression that raise in
salaries could not be made by the
change in the rating of the county.

a BIG PLUM

After the county commissioners ves-
terday afternoon adopted a resolution
placing Walla Walla county in the sew
enth class, it was learned that the new
classification of the county would re-
suit in the increase of salary of county
officials in a sum exceeding $4,000, and
those who We're instrumental in hav-
mig the change made are today wonder
ing how they did it. In a decision
handed down by the supreme court in
case from Skagit county some years
ago. the salaries of county officials
was determined according to the pop
ulation, and all that is necessary to at
tain the increase is for the board of
commissioners to prove that county
has a required number of residents.
While the law explicitly provides
that no set of officers shall provide for
an increase in salary for the term for
which they were elected, the new clas-
sification of county automatically
brings the increased salary. AS urged
by advocates of the plan of placing
Walla Walla county in the seventh
class. there would be no raise of SAL
aries-the salaries for a seventh class
county had already been established,
and instead of increasing the wage. the
commissioners simply placed the coun-
tx in the new classification with the
greater salaries.
Practically every attorney in the city
was aware of the fact that the change
of classification from the eleventh 10
the seventh would mean a CONSIDER
able expenditure of money Tor county
off cials, but as far as can be learned
no one was asked for an opinion
Roughly estimating. the increase
each year in this county, under the
new classification will aggregate $5,l00
divided among the various officials as
follows:

DELIVERED

TOXIC, Japan, Aug. 6.-The ulti-
matum to the Chinese government was
sent today, regarding the position of
the Antungs- Mukden railway. The ul-
timatum indicated that Japan felt free
to act if China and Japan couldn't
agree On propositions relating to the
construction of the line. China has al
so taken a firm stand 1t is hopeless to
expect the two countries to cooperate
in the reconstruction.
One of the causes of the Japanese
ultimatum is the Chinese objection to
japanese settling along the line.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The morning
papers, after exhaustive reviews of
the tariff measure are unanimous to-
day in tae belief that the new law
doesn't give the consumer what it
should have, though they look upon 1t
as material Improvement over tne
Dingley law The Tribune said in
part:
~ be new law has manifest defects
and would have had more but for the
interpOsition of the president The
Dingley law was the high-water mark
of ultraprOtection. This law marks
that the tide has turned. The con-
test for the future will be between
moderate and unltraprOtection.''

clashes between the strikers and the

Each clash is more serious than the

Portland Opinion.

PORTLAND, Aug 6-The Journal
this afternoon says in part:
1T seems that the law will not pro-
duce nearly enough revenue unless the
expectation of the corporation tax is
fully realized. That will be an expen-
sive tax to collect, and will add num-
Der of official taX-eaters. On the whole
1t may be said that the new law Is
little Improvement over the Dingley
law. not enough to entitle il to be
called reform measure. nor one that
will result in any appreciable direct
benefit to the people.
The bill, except for few particulars,
was framed by friends of the tariff,
