HOLD YOUR WHEAT.

A we'll authenticated report, care
fully concealed by the grain dealers
of the United States, has reached TINS
city, telling of the unprecedented
drought in the Argentine republic. The
dry spell is protracted beyond all for
mer periods of the kind and the wheat
crop will be almost an absolute fail
ure. For obvious reasons this report
has not been made public here.
In view of this fact, the farmers OF
the Wafa Walla valley will do we'll to
ha1d their grain, at least until the re-
port is proven to be other than 1t
seems at present. 1t comes from a
reliable source, and has the stamp or
semi official approval. With Argentina
out of the reckining, the wheat Of the
United States is bound to reach a
fancy price. Hold YOUR wheat.

The value or this breed of dog. how
ever, frequently run much higher. and
only a short time ago at the New
York dog show, over $500 was offered
for a prize winning Chihauhau and
refused in the ring
The Chihauhau dog is the oldest
known to history, and it is claimed in
Mexico that they were originally bred
by Aztecs by mating a ground squir-
rel with a jackrabbit. However that
may be. their diminutive size recon-
mends them as a pet to the fair sex,
and the limited number in existence
gives them their extraordinary value.

oFFIcERS AND GENTLEMEN

In the matter of the Sutton case,
the board of inquiry refuses to find any
thing that is SATISFACTORY or worth the
while. The country is impressed with
the evident purpose of that body to
protect the honor of the service as a
first duty, in the course of which it
makes a bluff at ascertaining the truth,
with some after talk about suspen-
sion or dismissal of those who were
directly concerned in the Sutton trag-
edy.
There is altogether too much of this
"officer and gentleman" assumption in
both the army and navy. The ethics
of it is faulty. What was disclosed
under pressure at the Sutton hearing
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-08-05

proves clearly enough that the conduct
of the young officers involved was
awning but that of gentlemen, ana
that their general character would not
square as such from the testimony oi
themselves and others. The best that
can he said of them is, they were
fine set of educated rowdies, and there
stands the strong suspicion that their
registering led to murder.
Comparatively few people VIII pc
lieve that young Sutton, while engaged
in a desperate physical struggle with
three or four of his companions; while
being held to the ground, with one OF
them on top of him, deliberately
reached with a gun to the back ana
rather to the top of his head and shot
himself. In common parlance, this is a
story that sounds exceedingly fishy
to the lay ear, and that it should be
credited for an instant by the board OF
inquiry leads to no complimentary re-
Election as to the honesty or ability OF
that body.
What justice demands in case like
this is the truth. 1t has no concern
with the ''officer and gentleman" view
point. 1t will be wholesome, indeed
if the mother and sister of young SUIT
deavOr to vindicate it's demands.

CIRCUS HAS POSTOFFIcE.

Ringing Brothers, Circus Lot Is a
City in Itself.
Among the many points Of interest on
the show grounds of Ringing Brothers
circus is a fully equipped post-office. 1t
was not established by the government,
yet it is larger than many that are run
by Uncle Sam, and there probably is no
other in America visited daily by such a
cosmopolitan gathering
Jules TurnOur is the postmaster of
Ringlingville, and he is we'll fitted for
the place, as he speaks French, Ger
man., Spanish, HindOOstani and Polish
as fuently as he does English, and
knows enough Chinese; Japanese and
Portuguese to make himself understood
in those tongues
Fifteen minutes after the last sec
ton of the show train has arrived.
Jules NAV be found at the local post
office filling his big mail bag with bun
dies of letters and packages from all
corners of the earth. In another fifteen
minutes he is in his own office on the
grounds distributing his mail Letters
come to Ringlingville every week from
more than 100 European and Asiatic
cities.
Ringing Brothers are this year pre-
senting the best program in their ca
reer as shOWmen They have o"er 200
foreign performers on their program
who never before We're seen in America.
They have a show unusually interest
ing i'm many respects aside from its
size. It's novelty is striking feature
From the beginning to the end of the
long bill there is one surprise after an
other.
Those who live to laugh will find
when they take their seats on the grand
stand, for of all the clowns. testers and
buffoons that ever lived there is the
merriest bunch of all to be found IN
Ringlingville. There are some re-
markable fellows among them and not
a few who have made even nobility
laugh on the other side of the water
The more prominent features of the
nrogram are the Schumann horses, the
double-s omersaulting automobile, the
Arthur Saxon trio of strong men, the
:: telephoning elephants, the balloon pig
and Roblidello the wire wizard.
