eral building sites in Walla Walla.
North side property owners evidently
feel secure in the belief that Mr.. Win
dom's tour of inspection will not re-
suit in different recommendations to
the department, and smiles were in
evidence when mention was made that
the south side of town was to get an
other lead over the north side.
1t is understood that Mr.. Window
has intimated to Walla Wallans that
the fight being made between the north
side and south side business men is
but repetition of those made in prac-
tically every city where such site
has been selected, sometimes Mr.. Win
dom being the special and at other
times Mr. Mcdowell following Mr..
Window.
From all that can at this time be
learned, the decision of the special
agent will settle the controversy as
far as local people are concerned. as
the inspection is being conducted in
such a manner that neither side will
have occasion to file charges of par
TALLY. The south siders nevertheless,
feel that the appointment of a disin
terested inspector is a signal victory.
and they are making the best of their
opportunity.
Mr.. Window has appointments this
afternoon to occupy all of his time.
and it is doubtful whether he can COM
plete his work in time to leave to-
morrow evening as he had originally
intended

Prescott is now
Very Peaceful

with the arrest of Lafferty and Nc
Lean, the two bad men of Prescott
the reign of terror that has been hang
ing over that little city has to all an
pearances, ceased. There is no longer
crowd of men on the strets swear
ing and telling filthy stories in the
presence of women who pass and chill
dren who hang near.
FOR several weeks the trouble went
on and Marshal Long of Prescott. was
unable, 1T is said, to cope with the sit
uatlon Lafferty and Mclean would
dare him to come out and arrest them
ana called him all kinds of names.
FINALLY the trouble became SO serious
that he sent for Sheriff Haviland to
arrest Mclean, who was wanted for
shooting up the town. He had shot
into the marshars house and was get
ting to be real bad man. He hied to
the country after awhile and told the
marshal he would shoot the man who
followed him. So Mr.. Long sent for
the sheriff to get him.
The sheriff got him.
Next day Lafferty got bad. And
when Marshal Long could not arrest
him, a little fellow came along and
nabbed him. Then Lafferty got worse
But he was brought down here without
any trouble.
1T isn't the place, exactly, for the
sheriff to interfere in cases of that
kind; but was sore when l found how
those two fellows had been bulldozing
fIn
got BUSY and l think we have broken
up the trouble. They were the leaders
and l don't expect any more bad men
to get bad again soon. If thew do
Wen get them, for we have the men
here who can. I'll go out there every
day but that I'll get that swearing
and vulgar language on the streets
stopped"

HOW WOOL MEN
LOSE MONEY

POCATELLO, Id, Jan. 14.-That
| the sheep men of the United States
| lose millions of dollars annually
| through the Vaccinations of the mid
|. dlemen is the statement of officials OF
! the National Wood Growers assOcia-
| ton. which opened it's forty fifth an
nual convention here today. Plans will
| be made at the present meeting to cir
| cumvent the commission men by es-
| tablishing a national wool warehouse
in Chicago or Omaha, with branches
in all the wool manufacturing CEN
ters where the fleece may be dis
posed of at the best possible price and
without paying immense profits to
| commission merchants. Sheep men
from all over the country are here and
a majority are enthusiastic in their
adherence to the storage movement,
which has already been tried out on a
small scale with great success.
The convention will extend through
three days, the list of speakers includ-
ing George B. McCabe, solicitor of the
department of agriculture at Wash
ingtOn; Fred w. GOOding of Shoshone,
president of the associations; Gov.
Frank r. Gooding of Idaho. T. J.
Walsh of Helena; Dr. j. NJ. Wilson of
Douglas, Wyo.; A. j. Knollin of Chi
,ago; Francis Perry Elliot of Nash
Vile, Tenn; Hon. A. B. Moss of Pay
cite: Hon. Peter G.. Johnston of Black =
foot; Col. E. J. Bell of Laramie, Wyo.,
and w. H. Manss Of Chicago.
Samuel Ballantyne, secretary of the
Idaho Wool Growers association, is a
strong advocate of the warehouse sto-
rage plan. In speaking of the plan Mr..
Ballantyne said:
This is a business proposition pure
and simple. 1t is self-eXplanatOry. The
sole object is to eliminate the middle
| men who have gotten immensely rich
| from the profits of our feeceS. We
could build this warehouse Of ours
out of solid gold bricks and pay for il
| in less than five years from the profits
| we give these men. AS was naturally
expected they are trying to discourage
| the sheepmen in this undertaking
| They are not without making a fight
and today they are making offers on
the next years clip. The cause of the
offers must be apparent to sheepmen;
and if they can accomplish their pur-
pose growers can be assured that in

well for it.
THE sheep men of this state were

dollars on their 1908 clip. Most OF
us have not forgotten this experience
yet, at least from a financial point OF
view. This million dollar sweat was
a very simple little stunt on the part
of the commission men. They formed
combine to all stay out of the mar
ket until a certain day. Their agents
We're sent here early in the season

QUESTIONS OF
MUCH INTEREST

Members of the Commercial club
viii meet in regular monthly session
in the club rooms this evening at
o'clock to consider several important
questions that will be introduced. DR..
n. G. Blalock will make a short talk

In order to get the support of the
club. Manager Edgar L. Smith, Of the
Walla Walla Concert band, will make
a short talk showing the advertising
that would be secured by Walla Wal

and take steps to interest exposition
officials in the Concert band.
The reputation made by the boys
at the Spokane Apple show has been
heralded throughout the Pacific north
west, with the result that this city
now has the reputation of having the
best band west of the Rocky noun

pected in securing for the boys
place on the concert program of the

Like rain-pools over autumn leaves,
My sweet loves eyes to me-
Like sunlight over golden sheaves
Her wind blown tresses free;
Like snow upon the mountains face
The Wilderness of her throat;
Her movements of the dangerous
grace
OF lilies all afiOat.
Her voice is sweet as silver bells
Ger sheets of moonlit snow;
Her mouth full ripe flower, where

The sunsets vermeil glow;
Her soul is tender as blue skies
A southern day above;
While in her heart all priceless lies
The diamond of her .ove.

A Fine Young Horse Sold.

On Thursday of last week H.
Humiston, of White Bird, purchasee
OF Fred Mckinney, manager of the
Bargain Store of this place, Wilkes
mont, young two-year-old Standard
bred stallion with as blue blood, prob
ably as courses through the veins oil
any animal in North Idaho. This
timely bred animal will be taken to Mr..
Humistons ranch at White Bird,
where he has number of trottinp
mares OF excellent breeding, and il is
not improbable that in the course of a
few years the results of this invest
ment will be heard of greatly to the
credit of Idaho county.
Wilkesmont is bred in the purple,
and to those familiar with the trotting
strains 1t is only necessary to mention
the fact that he traces directly to the
famous George Wilkes through his
sire Jay Wilkes, whose dam was the
noted Orient, running back to Imp.
Messenger.
Monterey, the dam of Young
Wilkesmont, was sired by the great
Altamont. 5000, the sire of more pro-
dncing dams than other horse that
ever lived; her dam was the noted
Bessie Archer. Monterey is "a sister
to the famous Ella T., the great rae
ing mare with record of 2:05 and |
who has gone halves at 200 minute
clip in many of her races.
To the lovers of good horses, and
especially to those who have little
racing blood in their veins, it will be |
a matter of qualification to know that
this section of the country has horses
with this royal breeding, and further
that q. +. Mckinney and sons of |
this county bred both Monterey and
Ella L. There are two mediums |
that are unexcelled in advertising a |
country or community, crack base |
ball team that ticks everything it goes
up against, and a fast horse that goes
out on the circuit and wins the iaurals.
There is something in the American
blood that responds to these things
like 1t does to battle; cut that peculiar
characteristic out and you have lost
the typical American entirely. Who
would base enough to desire such a
RESULT
