MAKING PROGRESS.

We are glad to report that the COM
mittees having in hand the matter
of the organization of the pro-
posed business mems club are meet
with flattering success and that the
club is now practically assured.
Bushes men consulted on the
proposition, without single excep~
ton we are told, are ready to give
the organization their moral and fina
cial support.
But why shouldn't they? Only one
person in town has been heard to
openly voice oppositionand his plea
is: THAT the camp Is not ready for
a commercial organization.
We will ask our friend: When on
earth will we be ready, If that time
developing better and better every
day; they have reached the point
when reduction works Will have to be
built to treat the ores from these
mines. Therefore we believe the
time is ripe for united faction of some
sort; unless we. show the men who
have capital to invest, in such indus
tries that we are taking an interest
in what they might do for the wei,
fare of the camp; that we are pos
sessed OF the spirit of enterprise -pEes
vailing IN other camps in this mining
state; isn't 1t natural for them
to spend their money where the
inducements are the greatest; where
they have the encoura cement and
support OF those who comprise the
business community? we ali want to
see Phoebe grow and become a
great mining and smelling center;
yet it IS Up to the peop,e who live
here, in large measure to deter
mine whether ethis shall be or not.
II we sit quietly down and wait
for something to turn up" we are
going to be disappointed; some 9TH
er place will spring up and reap the
benefits which otherwise would come
to Phoebe. Men with capital, like the
small boy, like to be patted OIL the
back. BY giving them the glad
hand they Will use their money
and influence to boost the town.
If they see an aggressive CONNER
cal organization, they immediate
" conclude that we are wide awake
Collectively, the citizens Of Phoebe
can do wonders towards the ad
advancement and upbuilding of this
region; where's, individual effort
would be wasted.

State News In Brief

AT the Boston offices of the Nevada
Douglas Copper company, it is stated
that the company is in no wise con-
cerned in the judgment secured in
the district court of Salt Lake City
by J. E. Game and. Max Junghandel
for $4,000 and interest against
Frank j. Hagenbarth on an option
transferred to Hagenbarth to pur-
chase the famous Ludwig mine now a
part Of the Nevada Douglas group
at Yerington, Nevada. The trans
action which resulted in the lawsuit
Was an individual one Of Hagenbarth'
and does not affect the company,
which Is involved in no litigation Of
any description. The Ludwig mines
Were bought two years ago for $500
900, and became a part of the Ne
vada-DOuglas company at that figure

A. CASE OF GREED.

About the meanest thing we have
heard OF IN good while is the re-
fusal oil the Saltair Beach company
to make any concessions towards the
entertainment Of the veterans Of the
G. A X. encampment, which is to
be held in Salt Lake City next month
The Utah Light & Railway company,
operating the street railroad system
in Utah's capital city will give away
10000 coupon books and in addition
supply, absolutely without compensa-
ton, the electric energy to be used in
street illumination during encamp-
ment week. The Salt Lake & Og-
den railroad Is also going to give
away 10000 coupon books to the old
soldiers which also entities them to
prettiest spots anywhere on earth.
In fact, every Sat Lake resort, ex-
cept Salltair, is doing the right thing
towards the entertainment of the
grey-haired veterans of the Civil war
and incidentally, to advertise Salt
Lake City and Utah. 1t is too bad
that there is not another big bath
ing resort on the shores of the Great
Salt lake. 1t is said, however, that
a very wealthy corporation is plan
ming something of this kind for Antel
Ope Island. Since the Saltair man
agement has displayed such a greedy
attitude towards the old soldiers, we
hope the project will be pushed
through without delay. II anybody
In the world but ]. E. Langford had
the conduct of Saltair 1t would be
different.

Point of View.
ASSAILS FINANCE
COMMITTEE TODAY
Increase Of Duty on Print
Paper Are Grounds of
His Complaint.

WASHINGTON, June 17-Senator
Brown of Nebraska, in an address in
the senate today, bitterly assailed the
finance committee for proposing an
amendment increasing the low rate
fixed by the house on products of the
American print paper mills. He point
ed out that Canadian manufacturers
were the only competitors of the mills
'Inexcusable and indefensible from
any standpoint" was the way he
characterized the action of the COM
mittee. He said the print paper was
made at less cost in the United States
than elsewhere and that any duty in
any amount was wrong in principle.
Committee Rests.
Pending the receipt of the attorney
generals administration a draft of the
proposed constitutional amendment
providing for a two per cent tax on
net incomes of corporations, the finance
committee of the senate took no action
today on the presidents recommenda-
tion.

TO SEND LASALLE
BAND TO A-y-P-E
Local Musical Organization May Be
Sent to Seattle Exposition as an
Advertising Feature for
the City.

To send the LaSalle band to the
Alaska -Yukon-Pacific exposition this
summer as an advertising feature for
the city of Walla Walla and LaSalle in
stitute, is the plan now being consid-
cred by officials of the school and the
publicity department of the CONNER
cial club. Arrangements may be COM
pleted within the next few weeks
whereby the % members Of the organ
ization may represent this city at the
fair on some Of the big days, and it is
thought the plan is most commend
able one.
In view of the fact that the publicity
department is not financially able to
furnish expense money that the move
would require, canvass of the busi-
ness men may be made in order to in
sure the lads the trip to the big fair,
and it is thought probable the response
would be gratifying in its liberality.
Estimates made this morning place the
,
probable expense at $500, and it is con-
sidered probable this sum could easily
be raised.
LaSane band was organized several
months ago, and the lads were ably
instructed in their studies by n. Heric,
who was the head of the Walla Walla
Concert band. From a modest begin
ming, the organization has grown stead
ily until % pieces now comprise its
strength The lads have all made rapid
progress in their music work, and as
result of their adaptability, the plan
is now considered to send the band to
| the A-Y.-P., as an advertising feature
| for the Walla Walla valley.

(, not admit them. Nicoll shouted:
''This is just a part Of the black
mailing tactics used all through thu

Defense Claims Confidence
In the Outcome Of
Long Drawn Case

SAN FRANCISCO, June 17.-Con-
Guiding the argument for the defense
N the Calhoun trial at 1O:45 O'Clock
this morning, A. A. Moore surrendered
the floor to Heney After half an hour
recess Heney opened.
Moore concluded by declaring that
Calhounss name and honor are at
stake, and that these are dearer to
him than life. His last words were:
And now, genfemen, 1 leave in
houn, feeling secure that when you
have completed your deliberations
justice will have been done"
Opening his argument, Heney said:
There's enough in the records to
of hell. The evidence demonstrates
that every hair in Calhoun's head is
guilty. 1t is as Edmund Burke said
in the trial Of Warren Hastings, that
a criminal is trapped more often by
things he tries to cover up than by
the evidence of crime he leaves be-
hind"
After making reference to the way
he had been abused during the trial
and saying that he never would stand
for such abuse again in court, Heney,

the extension of the line of the Wal

This plan has been decided upon
since announcement was made that
