Threshing at WaIla Walla.

Walla Walla, Wash.-The harvest
ing Of Walla Walla county's 100000
bushel wheat crop started yesterday.
Not all threshing outfits are working,
but by the last of the week all OF
them, it is thought, will have COM
menced active operations.
In several localities threshing could
have been started July /, but the
owners Of outfits have profted by
past experiences and put it off until
after the Fourth of July, preferring
to wait until after their employees had
finished their celebrations rather
than be compelled to suspend until
the festivities were over.
The men who do this harvest work
have been arriving for several days
from the east as well as from the Pa
louise country. on account Of the
large improvements being here as well
as the high price Of wheat, the wages
for harvest hands are expected to be
better this year than last. The crews
will start in this vicinity and work
northward, getting in good long
season at good wages.

WICKERSHAM PLANS
TO CURB TRUSTS

Paducah, Ky.-State control of cor
porations doing an interstate busi-
ness was discussed in an address be-
fore the State Bar association by at
torney-General Wickersham here last
night. The address, considered as
outlining the attitude of the national
administration towards trusts, was
notably chiefly for its recommends
| ton that congress should enact law
providing for nationally created cor
porations to carry on interstate COM
merce. An important feature was the
speakers effort to show the separate
states how they may control the bus
iness of foreign corporations in their
Limits.
Dealing with the citizenship and
standing Of corporations, Mr.. Wicker
sham quoted decisions that they were
not citizens in the meaning of the
constitutional requirements that cit
| liens of each state should be entitled
to all the privileges and immunies of
| citizenship of the several states" that
the power of a state to prevent for
eign corporation from continuing to
do business is but the corrollary of
its authority to prevent such corpOr-
ations from coming into the state;
that the state in passing on these
questions might take cognizance of
acts done elsewhere.
at may be safely asserted" he
said, that the only limitations upon
the powers of the states to exclude
foreign corporations entirely from do
ing business within their territory
and to prescribe such conditions as
they deem proper for the carrying on
by them of such business are: First
ly that the regulations so prescribed
shall not deprive the foreign corpor-
atlons of property without due pro-
cess of law or deny to them the
equal protection of the laws: second
ly, that such regulations shall not
amount to an interference with inter-
state commerce or with other busi-
ness of a federal nataure.
"It has seemed to me that an ef-
fective method of legisating on this
subject would be to enact such laws
that no foreign corporation should be
licensed to do business within a state
IL so per cent of its capital stock or
upwards were owned or held by any
other corporation, domestic or for
elgn; and that if at any time after
obtaining such a license more than
so per cent of the capital stock
should be acquired by another cor
portation, the license should be ipso
facto vacated.
"The device of the holding corpor-
alton Is the only thing that has made
possible the rapid growth Of the great
trusts and monopolies and such a law
would do far toward their destruc-
| ton"

Whites Follow Indians.

When the people of Chemawa read
the address Of President Harvey of
the National Educational association
held at Denver this week, 1t was
remarked that what he advocated for
the public schools-that is Indus
trial Education"-wasw what the nom
reservation schools Of the Indian
service have been doing and teaching
for the past 80 years and these
schools have been blazing the way
for the white mans education along
industrial lines The methods em-
ployed during the last three decades
at Carlisle, Haskell, Chemawa and
their sister schools have done much
to hold sentiment in educational cir
cles in favor Of industrial education
in our public schools.

ton of America at its thirteenth an
nual convention to be held in Seattle
July 147. The subject to be debated
at this session is, Resolved, That
there should be a censorship of the
press" The three debaters who will
take the affirmative are students of
Seattle schools, while the negative
will be represented by Anthony F.
Moilert of Sacred Heart college, San
Francisco; Miss Jeune Mullikins, a
graduate of the Dalles High school,
olas of 1908, and Carl F. Thomas of
the Astoria high school, who was a
member of the Astoria team in the in
terscholastic school debate of 1908.
Miss Mullikin was one of The Dalles'
debaters last year, and met some of
the brightest young people of the
state in the numerous debates engag-
ed in by the team. She is a pleasing
and convincing debater, close stu
dent, and a general favorite among
both young and old in this city, where
she has resided since childhood.

ColfaX, Wash.-A warrant was
placed in the hands Of the sheriff to-
day for the arrest Of W. o. Erbs, a
piano salesman in the employment OF
/. Albouc, Of Hartline, Grant county
on a charge Of obtaining from Henry
Ochs wealthy Russian farmer OF
Endicott, Wash, five promissory notes
OF $500 each, by alleged fraudulent
representations.
According TO Ochs, Erbs took ad-
vantage Of his inability to read Eng
fish and induced him to sign the notes
with the understanding that they
were contracts for the sale on COM
mission Of five pianos In reality
they proved to be in payment in full
for the instruments. Erbs has not been
located but the sheriff has received
word from Albouc, that the notes have
been turned IN TO him, and that the
pianos have been shipped to Ochs al

Advance Wheat for S5c.

Dayton, Wash.-The largest spec
ulative grain deal made in southeast
ern Washington in years was closed
a month ago, when Clark Israel, rep
resenting NJ. H. Houser, a grain buy
er of Pomeroy, bought the entire
crop of the DR.. Marcel Pietrzycki
ranch, near Starbuck, consisting of
$500 acres of growing grain. The
sale was not made public until yes
terday. TIL price paid was $1.07 IL
for barley and S5c for wheat. The
crop at these prices is valued at about
$4,000 and the contract calls for
delivery on the cars at Starbuck.
According to local dealers, this is
the only advance grain buy made in
this part of the country. No doubt
the Pietrzycki sale will have the ef-
feet of inducing many farmers in
this vicinity to hold their crops when
they are harvested. Unless the grain
market takes an unexpected turn, 1t
Is predicted the greater portion of
Columbia county grain will be stored
this fall Farmers here generally
have the assurance that the market
will be stronger as the season ad-
yances.

Near-beer intoxicating.

Albany, Ore.-Near-beer is under
the ban in Albany and Linn county
The analysis is said to have shown
that Melas, the product of the Salem
Brewing company, showed 1858 per
cent of alcohol, and the Roseburg
product about 3.34 per cent. Any
thing with over per cent is viola
ton Of law.
All those arrested here charged
with the sale of near-beer were found
guilty and paid their fines. All the
defendants said they were ignorant
that these drinks were intoxicating,
and expected to be protected under
the guaranty Of the makers. This
will affect the sale of these drinks
in all the counties.

Portland.-Of the forty-seven
young graduates of nine American
forest schools who have just receiv-
ed appointments as forest assistants
in the administrative districts of the
forest service, six have been assigned
to positions in this district. The
names of these new appointees and
the schools from which they are
graduated in forestry are as follows
E. H. MacDaniel. VIM. B. Osborne,
jr., and B. T. Harvey of Yale; d. b.
Reynolds, of Michigan; S. B. Hall Of
Harvard, and E. ]. Fenby of the
Pennsylvania state college. These
men have secured their appointments
as a result of passing the regular civ
il service examination, which is the
only avenue of employment as a for
ester under the government.
Forest assistants are men who have
completed their premilinary training
for the profession of forestry, as the
graduates of law or medicine have
completed theirs, and are ready to
enter upon practical work Until
they have gained experience, how
ever, their positions are necessarily
subordinate. They are at the foot Of
the ladder and must prove their fit
ness to mount higher. The govern
ment pays them $1,000 a year at the
start

Assigned to Various Duties.

Assigned 10 various Duties.
On the national forests the forest
assistant often acts as technical ad-
wiser to the supervisors in charge,
who are western men experienced in
all practical matters, but usually
without school training in the sci
ence of forestry. Or they may be as
signed to the study of some particu-
lar problem which needs to be in
vestigated i'm the interest of good for
est management. AS forestry means
knowing how to get the most out of
any given piece of forest land, it calls
for studies and experiments both sci
entific and practical, much like those
which have to be made in the inter
ests of good farm management, and
the forest assistant is prepared to do
valuable work along this line.
Growing Interest in Forestry.
There is a growing interest in the
profession of forestry now, and many
young men are asking how to get in
to it, and what it promises. Clifford
Pinchot, United States forester, in an
address to the graduating class in for
estry at Harvard university this year,
said:
"The government and the country
needs more men trained in the knowl-
edge of forestry, and 1t offers oppor-
tunity to make a mans life loom
large and to count for much among
the many phases of human endeavor.
To be good forester man should
combine something of the naturalist
with good deal of the business man.
To know how to use the forest he
must be able to study it. He must
have, therefore, the power of obser-
walton, a fondness for nature, and the
ability to penetrate her secrets. He
must be resourceful, able to stand by
himself, willing to undergo the pri-
vations of rough life, and capable of
commanding the respect of rough
men, who quickly recognize virility
and genuineness of character, but
will not tolerate pretense or the as
sumption of superiority. A forester
should be sound. in mind and body,
and should make the fullest college
preparation for the service. This
service means free, vigorous life in
the open air, and a clear. straight,
fine, wholesome manly condition of

out. If prohibition were the thing around which this campaign is cen tered Mr. Prices talk would have been a splendid one. His references to the amendment proper were few. Owing to the strenuous campaign he had been carrying on, combined with a cold, hs voice was in very bad shape, but in spite of this handicap he made every. body hear him, and was pretty well exhausted after his speech was over.
 In the last 20 minutes of his talk it is generally conceded that Mr. Bowie said more in that time and said it more effectively than any one has ever at tempted here before. The applause was thunderous and 1t was hard at times for those on the stage to hear him. His attacks on MT Prices argu- ments were sharp and clear, and the manner in which he made them con vinced the audience that he was sin cere. He had his whole soul into all he said and completely took the crowd off its feet. He declared, and read af- fidavits to prove the statement that the Bell home in Bessemer was not searched at the instigation of an anti but that all the important persons in the deal were amenders and strong ones. He expressed his appreciation of MT. Prices patriotism, but said that If he had been delivering the tribute to woman, state and nation he would have given proper credit to the lat> Senator Carmack.
 He declared that if it were true that the brewers and distillers were cir culating money in this campaign there was no one left for the money to in- fiuence but those favoring the amend ment. Regarding the claim of Mir Price that 95 per cent of the good women of the state were in favor Of the amendment he ventued the asser- tion that on election day for every one good woman who goes to the polls and works there will be 100 good ones stay at home in the performance of their own particular duties.
 That the defenders came out on top in the debate was sh own by the demon stration at tn close by at least 75 per cent of the men in the audience. Hats went up in the air. throats were taxed to their capacity and hand shaking was general. MT. Prices prediction of a majority of BIO In the county in favor of the amendment is not considered to be worth much.
