Assessment Roll for 1909
Completed and Shows
a Big Gain.
INCREASE OF MANY
THOUSANDS NOTED
Lots Are Valued at Three
Million, improvements
Nearly as Much.

The city assessment role of 1909 has
now been completed by Assessor
Toner and shows property of both a
real and personal nature to be lin
creasing. The assessed value of lots
in the city amounted to $3,243.77S
while improvements aggregated ST.
461,635. Personal property was as
sessed at $2,04672S, making a grand
total of $7,752,141.
A comparison of the report for this
year and 1898 shows a difference of
s613,O79, this being brought about by
the increased number of lots in the
city and the many new buildings.
Several additions to Walla Walla have
been brought in during the past year
and these bring the total up to a
corresponding amount
Although these figures will no
doubt remain as they now stand, 1t
is optional with the city council to
change them as they gee fit at a
later meeting to be held for this pur-
pose and as said by Mr.. Toner this
morning, they are now quoted as
correct and as such will be approved.

Coeur d'AIene Becomes Mecca.

SPOKANE, June 26.-Coeur dAlene,
Idaho, has become the Mecca for all
cigarette smokers of Spokane and this
part of eastern Washington, and the
tobacco dealers there are making a
rich harvest. The Idaho town, which
thrives on divorces, the law requir-

order to avoid the new stringent mar
riage laws, are also going to Occur

strongly against investigation and
against the state administration. The
bill to abolish the office of insurance
commissioner was a plan to thwart
the investigation, and it nearly passed
before the forces against it could ef-
fectively organize to prevent the
scheme being carried through.
Throughout the contest Governor Hay
and his friends stood firm for i'm
parchment and the sentiment of both
house and senate rapidly changed
from that of opposition to one of at
least passive ac1uiescence.
Scores of witnesses will be called, it
is assumed, and the hearing will oc-
cupy weeks. In the meantime it is
likely that the house will take a re-
cess and allow it's members to return
to their homes while the senate Is
sitting as a trial court, the first of its
kind in the senate.

NEW YORK, June 26.-Crazed by
the terrific heat, Louis Loonam at

at his home early today, infiicting
what are probably fatal wounds. He
seized the knife from the breakfast
table and chased his wife around the
kitchen until he caught her. She was

JOIN IN PROTEST
MADE BY SHAWMUT
Say Both Fords Violated the
Rules of the Race and
Are Disqualified.

. Jerry Price, and A. Sheets, drivers
Of the Acme car, arrived in the city this
afterncon at 2:55 o'clock, the speedo-
meter registering 4,783 1-2 miles. At one
time the Acme was nine days behind
the Fords and the Shawnut, but has
gained f5ur days, and the drivers ex-
peot to reach Seattle Sunday. One of
the greatest delays on the trip was
caused by broken jack shaft, and as
new one could not be secured, it was
necessary to repair the old one, most
difficult task.
The drivers of the Acme say the pro-
test of the Shawmut was we'll taken,
and they have affidavits showing that
repairs + r. the Fords were not shipped
from New York headquarters. The
machine is running as good now as
when it left New York, the only stop
here being for oil and gasoline. The
machine pulled out at 3:55, after one
hours stay here.

IMPEACHMENT
PROCEEDINGS
ARE CERTAIN
Appropriations to Cover the
Cost of Case Added
to Measure.
GOVERNOR HAY IS
VICTOR IN FIGHT
Committee Directed to File
Charges Against Man
who Is Accused.

OLYMPIA, June 26.-(Special to the
Statesman)-Amids scenes of the wild
est confusion, following three days of
pickering, heated arguments, flibus-
tering and finally getting down to
business, the house adjourned late last
night until o'clock Monday afternoon.
This recess will give everybody a
chance to cool down and practically
every member will spend the two days
at one or the other of the up-Sound
cities. While the work of the senate
was done under severe pressure, the
bitter feeling did not show so clearly,
than were those of the lower branch.
From the opening prayers on We'd
nesday until the last fall of the gavel
on adjournment, the body of the legis-
lature was hopelessly divided In the
senate the Schively interests were
looked after by the same men who last
winter opposed local option legislation,
led by Senators Nichols, Knickerbock-
er and Presby, while the opposition
was led by Senators Falconer, Bryan,
Allen, Ffshback and others. In the
house Beach, of Mason, recognized
leader of the liberal element last Win
ter, easily led the fight against con-
tinuing a vigorous investigation, while
p G. Jackson, of King county, was re-
cognized at the leader and spokesman
for the administration on the floor OF
the house.
From the first the fight was one of
bitte.. personalities, of technical ad-
vantages. and not of principles. Back
of it all is assumed to be the influence
of the state administration headed by
Governor Hay, forcing investigation
full and free. while the state officials,
presumably marshalled by E. w. Ross,
state land commissioner put up the
most strenuous and bitter fight pos
rake further about the state capitol.
The net result of the three days de-
liberation. or more properly of the
factional fight, was the appointment by
the senate of committee to draft rules
for the guidance of the senate. and the
passage by the house of resolution
without opposition, directing COM
mittee of seven to file Impeachment
specifications against Schively, and a
further designation of a committee TO
have the management of the case
throughout the hearing.
To provide for the cost OF. the I'M
parchment proceedings, the bill ap-
propriating 1000 to cover the ex-
penses of the session was amended TO
appropriate. $4,000 and for printing
the amount was Increased from $1,000
to $4,000. On the opening 1T was
deemed unnecessary to employ clerks
and assistants, but it is now apparent
that a long and bitter fight will be
waged, and a number of men have
been employed to do the clerical work
which is sure to come as the hearing
progresses. s
The Impeachment IS a signal victory
for Governor Hay. At the opening OF
the session the senate was organized

LAFOLLETTE TAKES
RAP AT PRESIDENT
In Weekly Paper Criticizes His Atti-

and the AIdrich Bill in
Particular.

MADISON, Wis, June 26-Editorial-
ly speaking, Senator LaFollette finds
many things to critieise i'm the attitude
of President Taft on the tariff In gen.
eral and his attitude toward Aldrich on
the proposed income tax in particular.
Under the leader "Tafts service to AL
drich" in LaFollette's weekly. issued
today. the senator says:
"The presidents recent message to
congress is inopportune and not in pub
lie interest 1t would have been great
help to the band of progressives max
ing a fight in behalf of public interest
for the maintenance Of the party pledge
had Taft seen fit to send a special mes
sage stating whether the party pledges
were. in his judgment being fulfilled
by increasing the tariff rates or by re-
enacting the existing rates. Because,
be it remembered, the president has the
final word. His approval or veto de-
cides whether the work of congress
shall stand: One fact stands out high
and plain above all else. His message
came to congress in the most opportune
time To serve: the fixed determination OF

1t is said only one man, customer
| of the cafe, saw the affray and knows

known to the police, and his story
could not be secured. According to
Mrs. Scott, Brown accosted Scott this
afternoon demanding his wages.
Words evidently passed, for the two
men Immediately were at one another,
and razors, knives and cleavers are
said to have figured prominently in
the affair. Nothing authentic as to the
weapons can be learned, however, as
the participants are reluctant to give
out information and there were few
close enough to determine what was
used.
Patrolman' George Wilcox arrested
Brown at once and took him to the
city Jail, where he is being held. Scott
walked out of the cafe with blood
streaming from the wound in his neck.

The attendants say he will recover,
although his throat was cut from ear
to ear.
Constant Friction.
According to Brown, who seemed to
think he had done the proper thing
there has been almost constant friction
in the Southern Cafe, and the police
have been called upon in the past to
settle difficulties there.
Women Are Detained.
Miss Lola Went and her sister, who
have been employed in the Southern
Cafe and who claim to have been eye
witnesses of the tragedy, were de-
tanned by the police this afternoon
just as they were about to board the
outbound o. r. & N train. They will
be detained at the Garden City house
until the trial is set, when they VIII

1t would be the biggest get yicI quick
scheme the farmers of this county ever got
into and there would be no blanks and no
fakes about it. Even at the maximum cost
of $4,000 mile fifty miles Of splendid roads
could be built. Excellent roads could be
built for $4,000 per mile and this would give
the county 100 miles Of good roads.
In one year the amount would be paid
in advanced land values, to say nothing Of
the enhanced value Of crops, the added COM
fort of living and the better general condi-
tons.

AFTER WOOL
SCHEDULE

Washington, June 11.-When the
senate convened this morning the a.
mendments offered by LaFolletie, pro-
viding for an advalorem rate in the
wool schedule, were taken up for the
purpose of voting on them zen bloc, "
as Vice-President Sherman announced.
Senator Cummins said he would vote
for them. not so much because they
were right, but because the finance
committees recommendations were
wrong.
At 2:15 this afternoon the senate
voted down the twenCy-four amend
ments TO the wool schedule offered by
UaFollette. The vote was A to 81.
CumInins argued for the justice of
his plan for a compensatory duty on
the products of the wool manufactur-
ers, to allow them to pay a higher
price for wool than do foreign compel
itors. He said that TO levy a duty on
goods partly cotton, as if they were
all wool, would give the dom esttc
manufacturers too great an advant-
age.
Warren said dhe idea was to keep
the shoddy goods out of the country.
but Cummins said the Car was ruin
ing the party to let such a wool sched-
ule go out.
