A burned bridge came very near
being the cause of a serious wreck
on the Denver & Rio Grande just this
side of Palmer Lake about $50 pm.
Sunday. The train was stopped
within a few feet of the structure
and no damage was done. The Of
ficials believe that the fire was caused
by tramps warming themselves under
the bridge. The top of the structure
is ballasted and was covered with
snow so It is not thought that drop
ping cinders could have caused the
fire. Trains were detoured over the
Santa Fe tracks until the damage

That Walla Walla is not taking adj
vantage of the many homeseekers who
are now in the west. and is not making
the best use of opportunities presented,
was the statement of j. w. Langdon,
who favored the plan of asking the
Northern Pacific company for a half
rate from Pasco to Walla W1alla for
every easterner who has purchased a
ticket to the west That failing, he
favored the plan of hiring d special

city or the Commercial club to bear
the expense.

his entire conf ence in the word sent
out by the attorney general to the eff
feet that no increase would or could
be made until 1911.
In their account of the matter this
morning the Union fell into the error
of making it appear that Mrs. jose

schoolsfwas not in hearty accord with
the board of county commissioners,
whereas the reverse is true
Mrs. Preston is i'm hearty accord
with the other county officials who
have waived any personal gain from

as having grown out of the change OF
classification of Walla Walla county.

the attorney general be correct and the
salary increase not take effect until
the county officers enter upon their
next term. Mrs. Preston would receive
the increase this fall when she re-
enters upon another term of Office.
Her increase from the advance III the
standing of the county would amount
to $500 per year. This she will not
demand. however, until 1911 provided
the commissioners will continue to al
low her mileage.

decision of Prosecuting Attorney
Smith. County Commissioner Harper
was one of the first Of the officials to

under the impression the attorney gen.
about The move was voluntary on
the part of the county officials.
However, in view of the fact that
Prosecuting Attorney Everett Smith
has rendered an opinion contrary to
that of the attorney general it is argu-
ed that should any county official de-
mand the extra salary, he would be
entitled to it. In case such action
were taken by any official the matter
would likely necessitate thrashing out
in the courts. That any official here
will demand the raise, however, is re-
garded in Official circles as improbable

LAND VALUES ARE GOOD

The Dickinson parties who recently
purchased 1880 acres of unimproved
lands north of Beach are already getting
inquiries for these desirable selections.
The lands include portion of the old
Wibaux ranch and are said to be just
as good as tracts that have retailed
around Beach at $35 per acre the past
season.
A few years ago the Beach lands,
more recently called the Golden Valley
lands. were the lowest priced acreage
stuff in the market, but they are not SO
classed any longer.

A. Little. who are interested in this land
say that they are in no immediate hurry

VALUABLE QUALITIES

Washington, December 14.-United
States geological survey tests Of North
Dakota Ignite indicate that the Ignite
has high value when used in power
plant of the form known as gas pro-
ducer and gas engine. A survey Of the
Ignite fields around Washburn and in
the Fort Bertho]d Indian reservation was
made.
The main object was to determine the
character, depth and extent of the
Ignite within reach of irrigible land
along the Missouri river. Use Of the
Ignite as fuel for irrigation pumping
was the end in view. Timber is scarce
in the region, Ignite being practically
the only fuel available.
The survey has published report on
the subject.
