and the most of our ammunition goes
up in smoke.
II do not know that the local steam
service will be improved under pres

that a morning train from Pendleton
would help some, and l believe that
We could use another round-trlp
train between here and Pasco. if we
could have a man in Spokane to hus-
tie men to Pasco where they could
come to Walla Walla on special train.
Il do not believe the people of Wal

immediate relief in the train service
of this section. The difference between
an electric and a steam road is that an
electric road can be made to pay by
running light trains and giving fire.
quent service. The policy Of steam
roads is heavy trains and infrequeuf
service. They do not anticipate the
wants of the people, but history re-
cords that just as soon as AN electric
line gets started. the steam roads get
very busy. This is borne out by the
numerous trains they run during the
rush hours to suburbs Of our larger
cities

systems and give us the much needed
relief. but this they have refused to do?
However, you may expect to see some
changes when the electric line starts
to build. 1t is only within the last few
days it is reported that one of the lead

cancel their engagement in Walla |

the ring of genuineness. ! believe that !
we should feel rejoiced that one of the |
apparent stumbling blocks TO the de- |
velopment of Walla Walla is now being |
relegated TO the rear and will be con-
troverted into an asset.
The construction Of an electric line
through this valley. it is argued, would |
not be a paying investment. 1t is pos i

until the goal would be reached.
AT the present time. it is impos-
SIble to estimate the ADVANTAGE of an |
electric line to the Columbia river, |
giving this city and valley river freight /
rates. 1t would mean thousands of |
dollars saved to the merchants and |
consumers of this section. This feat
ure should never be overlooked when |
an electric line is discussed that will |
meet and cooperate with the Open

this option was taken up and the stock

PASSENGER TRAFFIC MEN
CONFER IN THE SOUTH
Discussion in Regard to Opera
tion of the Wright Law
Especial Dispatch to The Call

SANTA BARBARA, April 2s.-No
definite settlement was reached today,
at the end of the two days triangular
conference of passenger traffic repre-
sentatives' of the Southern Pacific, Salt
Lake and Santa Fe railroads, at the
Potter hotel here as to the possible
operations OF the new Wright railroad
law.
The conferees were Thomas c. Peck,
Salt Lake; c. e. Fee, Southern Pacific,
and. John ]. Byrne, representing the
Santa Fe. They completed their labors
shortly before noon, Fee departing for
San Francisco at once, the others leav-
ing this afternoon for Los Angeles.
The joint conference was for the
purpose of finding ways and means for
adjustment OF rates and methods of
procedure of the three transcontinental
railroads, to conform to the provisions
of the new law
The confab, while not conclusive in
it's effect, was fruitful in that it opened
the question of the railroads course in
living up to the rules soon to be estab-
lished by the state railroad commission
in conformity with the new statute
II was stated that this board has not
vet announced its Interpretation of the
Wright law and for this reason there
could be no final action taken today.

Coleman was forced to admit that
he was elected a supervisor on
pledge to refuse franchises to corpora
tions then existing and that he knew
that the granting of the United Rail-
roads overhead trolley franchise
caused an increase of insurance rates
amounting to tax of about 100000
a year additional on property owners
in the districts affected because of the
necessity of increased protection
against fire. Up TO the time the pur-
chased trolley ordinance was passed

Constipation and It's
Causes
A Well Known Remedy

Constipation is mans worst enemy,
and half the bodily Ills are a result
thereof. Nature meant that the bowels
should be kept open, that we should
nave free movement once q day.
When we find our bowels do not move
we resort to powerful remedies which
are so drastic in their action that they
damage the tender lining of the bowels
and leave worse condition than be-
fore. Why take such Injurious and
expensive drugs when we can obtain
from any druggist, much cheaper,

trolley bribe Of $500. 900 was paid by
the United Railroads and the invita-

the fact that the money was paid, but
by absolute silence concerning the

dominion of the boundless power Of
the Padishahs. When the deputation
arrived at the palace the scene was
one of desolation. The investing army
had cut off the water. gas and electric
supplies and had stopped the ingress
of food, so that all the palace officials
were suffering from hunger.
While waiting for the sultan the
members of the deputation carefully
examined their holsters and pistols
and, according to Carassa, had Abdul
Hamid shown an armed hand he would
have been shot instantly. After much
delay the unwelcome visitors, sur
rounded by 30 black eunuchs, were

Decree of Deposition
After a silent salute Essad Pasha
pronounced in slow tones the decree of
deposition. at which the sultan shud-

followed by an equally painful colo
guy lasting a quarter of an hour. Abdul
Hamid appealed for his life and the
lives of his family. He protested his
devotion to the people and his inno-
cence of recent events.
The young prince wept bitterly. For
a moment tears trembled in the sui
tan's eyes. Then he supplicated the
soldiers in attendance to swear that
they would not take his life. Abdul
Hamid humbly saluted the deputation
and it departed.

clared tonight that the conviction was
