HOLLOWAY HAS
ORGANIZED A
-e-. NEW COMPANY

That c. K. Holloway, formerly of
this city, is not discouraged because
of the sad ending that came to both
the Walla Walla Fire Insurance COM
pany, and the Home company, organ
lied by him is proven by the news item
appearing in the columns of the Insur-
ance Field, under date of January %,
which is as follows:
&C. K. Holloway, president of the
Walla Walla Fire has been organizing
a new mutual fire company since the
appointment of a receiver for the Wal
la Walla. He has secured quarters in
the Wcmans Temple, Chicago and has
interested several men in Illinos, go 1t
is stated, in the Illinois Underwriters
Mutual Association. Mr.. Holloway ex-
poets to have his new undertaking
ready for business early in February"
Since the Walla Walla Fire went
onto the rocks in December, Mr.. Hol-
loway has remained in the east, and
this latest announcement of his plan
to organize still another company,
proves that he has not been divorced
from his belief that there is room
somewhere in the United States for
another insurance corporation. Walla
Wallans will watch with interest the
career of the Illinois Underwriters Mu-

Appeal
Dement, Case

1T is not for me to say what the
future movements the case are to
be-" said Attorney j. L. Sharpstein,
who represented the interests of the
city in the Dement, water suit, which
was yesterday decided in favor of
Dement, Brothers company. But I
feel certain that the case will be taken
to the supreme court: it can do moth
ing else, for the decision handed down
by Judge Miller yesterday places the
city in position where it will almost
be compelled to appeal. When order
ed so to do by the city, We will serve
notice of appeal"
1t is generally held by attorneys
that, in case the supreme court COM
firms the ruling Of the lower CO.
the city will either have to discontinue
the use of the water, or make arrange
ments with the Dement, company for
the use and it is probable that con-
demnation proceedings will be resort
ed to by the city.

Wreck Due TO
Broken Rail

Owing to q wreck in which six
freight cars were derailed near Water
loo, on the Northern Pacific road this
morning the incoming train this morn
ing was held up, and it was found ne
-cessary to transfer passengers at that
point. The consignment of mail was
held up at Waterloo, and was not
brought in until noon, a special train
carrying necessary postal authorities
to permit of a transfer of matter be-
ing sent to the scene of the wreck to
bring in the mail. /: !t..l if-s
The North Bank train last night
came in before the wreck occurred and
the out going train this morning was
held up, making a transfer of passen-
gers necessary. The wreck, which oc-
CURED this morning as the freight was
pulling out to Pasco, is said to have
been due to a broken rail, throwing six
of the cars from the rails.
L. w. Snyder of Dayton, who was in
charge of a carload of emigration NOV
sables, was 81 ghtly injured, suffering
bruises on one of his hands The
small damage resulting and the alb
sence of severe injury to those on the
train is due to the slow rate of speed
being maintained when the cars left
the track. The wreckage will be cleared
this afternoon.

Treasurer Smith
a Busy Official

Taxes in the county became due
Monday and for the past four days
County Treasurer J. Carter Smith and
his deputies have been busy taking in
the coin from willing taxpayers While
they have not had time to total the
amounts taken in, 1t is thought the
collections are equal to those Of any
preceding year.
Real estate taxes were due the first
Monday in February, and if paid be-
fore March Is there is a rebate of
three per cent" said Mr.. Smith this
morning in explaining the system of
collections. '"They become delinquent
on June 1 and draw interest at 15 per
cent from that date.
However, the half payment system
permits the paying of half the amount
before May 81, and the other half be-
fore November 80, without delinquency
interest being charged. If ~ second
half is not paid on time, the i16lArest on
II is charged from June 1, at Is per
cent.
Personal property taxes are also
due now and become delinquent on
March Is, after which interest at the
rate Of Is per cent is charged. There
is no rebate for prompt payment, how
ever
Many are already making payment
Of their taxes and we have been very
busy this week taking in the coin
However, We do not expect the rush
to get rid of money to last for any
great length of time"

COnviCtS Nay
Crush Rocks

If the legislature puts into operation
and effect the laws recommended by
the State Good Roads associat on be-
fore another year passes by a crew of
convicts will be at work on the stone
quarry at Deception pass, preparing
rock for public highways. This rock
will be Quarried first of all for the ben
eft of the state roads under course Of
construction, but if the output is
more than needed, then the cities,
counties and towns can obtain some
of the rock for street and roadbu Id
ing purposes. In event all these
sources do not use up the supply, then
it will be offered for sale at auction
to private bidders, state bidders being
given preference over outsiders.
The plan is to secure four quarries,
two west and two east Of the Cascade
mountains, and to work them by con-
vict labor. This, 1T is expected, will cut
down the price of rock very materially.
At the present time rock for macadam
road costs $1.50 per cubic yard f. o. b.
Commissioner Snow announced that 35
cents should cover the cost in the fu-
ture if this law is passed.
The bills fathered by the Good Roads
association were all drawn up by
Judge G.. Fl. Hanford of the federal
court Judge Hanford and Sam HI H.,
the road expert, and both members of
the association.

COnkIin
Cleared

On motion of Prosecuting Attorney
Everett j. Smith, the case against
Clifford Conklin, charged with having
sold milk adulterated with formalde-
hyde last August, was dismissed by
Judge T. H. Brents of the superior
court this afternoon. The motion for
dismissal was made on the grounds
of lack of evidence to convict.
Conklin, whose milk was alleged to
have caused sickness in the family of
at least one of his patrons, was re-
leased under $500 bonds at the time of
his arrest, and although it was thought
a clear case could be secured against
him, it was later found that there was
a lack Of evidence.

local option question came up in the
