Cured to aerial inventors from the
beginning. and international patents
were taken out for a vacuum airship
nv French inventor more than twenty
years ago.
The obvious difficulty of the vacuum
airship is to build a chamber strong
enough to resist the crushing pressure
of the air. The pressure is directed
upon every part of the chamber as well
as upon the bottom and would crum-
hle anv but the strongest structure be-
fore raising it.
It is well known that air filled cham
bers strong enough to sustain divers
at ordinary depth are crushed by water
pressure if sunk deep enough in the
sea. The plan Of the French inventor,
DIR. de Bausset, was to resist air pres
sure with an enormous steel cylinder
hraced inwardly in every direction. The
shin he planned was twice as big as
the Zeppelin, enormously heavy and
only three-fourths of the air was to be
pumped out.
Since then enormous progress has
been made in lightness and strength
of materials, though it is still consid-
cred that no small cyllnuef coulu NC
made light enough to rise in the air at
all. Nevertheless the plans of this old
invention are being overhauled in this
and other countries in the hope that
some practical application of the vacu-
um principle can be made to modern
airships.

SPOKANE, June 21.-Battling with
posse Of citizens, who surprised him
in the house where he had fortified
himself, Philip Clemens, wife murder
CT, shot himself and cut his throat this
morning, dying almost Immediately.
The double tragedy occurred at his
farm near Deary, Idaho. Clemens Sc
cured his wife through a matrimonial
bureau and she left him quickly. This
morning she drove to the ranch with
four men to get her belongings AS
they approached the house Clemens
fired through a window. His wife fell
dead. Her friends fed. Returning
with a posse they were halted by the
murderer, who swore he would shoot
the first man who laid hands on him
or touched his wife's body. Slipping
into the house unseen, members of
the posse attacked Clemens. Seeing
the struggle was hopeless, he killed
himself.

WALLA WALLA'S EXHIBIT.

From every report that has been sent
back from Seattle and from every
newspaper article that has been pub
lished, it seems that Walla Walla
county's exhibit at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition is as it should be,
the best on the grounds. Through the
untiring efforts of the commission that
had the matter in charge, the exhibit
was given one of the best places in
the agricultural building, and further
than that, was given double space. 1t
is also due to the work of these three
men, together with Professor H. B.
Wight. that this space was filled in
such a remarkable manner. A well
known minister of this city admits that
he mistook this county's exhibit for
that of California.
With such an exhibit it seems 81 be
a certainty that Walla Walla and the
surrounding country cannot but derive
great benefit from the $4,000 it cost
to put up the display. Fasteners Wis
iting the fair will see what Walla Wal
la can do. Of course they may hear
through book, pamphlets and literature,
but seeing is believing and those who
see the exhibit of Walla Wlalla county
cannot but be impressed with the VAL

But the exhibit is not yet complete
1t needs additions all the time and
there is much fruit that is now season.
able that could not be secured last year.
To this end, the commissioners have
appealed to the people of the county
for aid and have asked them to con-
tribute to the display all during the
summer 1t is little trouble for anyone
having produce of any kind that is not
worthy, to bring it to the city and
leave it for exhibit. And it will help
Walla Walla county, thereby helping
the one who contributes.
While Walla Walla has a first-class
exhibit, there is another thing that
yet remains to be done to let the peo-
pie know she is alive. September %
is Walla Walla day at the fair and
just as many residents of this city as
can, should go and help to start some
thing that will let others know the city
is alive Other towns are having their |
days and it is up to Walla Walla to |
get in. And it is not too early to begin
planning to take the trip to the fair
SO as to be there on that day.

NO REVENUE TAXATION WILL BE
CONSIDERED

The sincerity of any effective support
by the controlling powers in congress
of either the income tax, the inherit
ance tax or tax on dividends from
corporations is to be doubted. The
Aldrich- Cannon Organization may play
with these to keep the president and
Insurgents quiet, but it would disrupt
their whole program to adopt either.
All of these direct revenue taxes are
entering wedges to dispensing with
high tariff duties That was we'll un-
derstood in Cleveland's administration
when the income tax was adopted to
make up for loss of revenue by tariff
reduction When the supreme court
killed it a revenue deficit followed nat
urally, which the, Mckinley act could
not arrest in time to prevent its con-
tribution to the silver imitation panic.
The whole system of protection of
full grown industries depends upon the
governments need of revenue from that
source. The duties that tax the con-
sumner for the benefit of combined man.
ufacturers could not be maintained on
the protection theory alone. The sched-
ules are arranged to give the most rev.
onue with the least competition and il
is said that to disturb them would
bankrupt the government.
The exploiters of special privilege
prefer an indirect customs tax because
it is diffused among the masses who
pay it without knowing it. Being dis
tributed according to consumption o
necessaries, it is paid mainly by thu
poorer citizens. Direct taxes appor
toned and paid in proportion to wealth
could not be set beside these by com
parison without irresistible growth il
popularity. That is illustrated ii
Great Britain, where the rich, complain
that the whole burden begins to be pn
on them.
Whatever the president may recon-
ment, whatever may be promised to tn
insurgents, it is hardly probable tina
the iron control of privilege in con
gross will allow the first step in an,
kind Of taxation that would prove pro
lection superfluous

CACTUS FEED BRINGS
GOOD ADVERTISING
Account of Banquet Given Here at
Which the Desert Plant Was
Said to Have Been Served, is
Attracting Attention.

The Walla Walla valley is deriving
considerable publicity from the pub
lished announcement, few days ago,
to the effect that cacti cani be utilized
as food, and giving an account of
big banquet at which everything from
cactus stew to cactus candy was
served the guests. The story has been
picked up by newspapers throughout
the west and the following editorial
from the Los Angeles Evening News
of June IL, shows what the Califor-
raians think of the discovery:
Away up at Walla Walla, Wash
ington, Wednesday night club gave
a big feed at which all the dishes
were prepared from eaeti. They had
everything from a cactus stew to cac-
tus candy. 1t is good to know that so
many uses can be found for cactus,
and Luther Burbank's proposition of
a spineless cactus, which will raise $50
tons of rich, nutritious hay to the acre,
is something to take the breath away.
1t is not Washington, but California
and Arizona, that probably. will get the
biggest results from plant that is so
prolific and which demands no irri-
cation. In the mean time the Impel
rial Valley, which would be the most
natural home of spineless cactus, is
by no means waiting for the develop
ment Of some new plant to make the
fortunes of those who are lucky
| enough to have land within its superb
acreage .,

citing than is indicated at this time.
The Shawmut car, one of the racers,
has not been heard of inrn1s sec
ton, and it is thought has been de-
lsyed for a considerable length of
time by accident or break. Ford No.

Of auto mechanism, including tires

Inspection of the engine this morn
ing at the Inland Auto garage showed
the engine to be working satisfactor-
lily with the exception of a few minor
details, and with these fixed up, the
balance of the trip was taken up.
Much Interest.
Several hundred people gathered at
Spokane and East Alder streets this
morning to catch, glimpse of the
racer, and many were disappointed at
the size of the buzz-cart, as they had
looked for a machine of greater DID,
mension than the big pathfinder that
came through Walla Walla several
weeks ago. Weight is the important
factor in the endurance contest, and
the men in charge of No. 2 are carry
as little as possible.

cuse have you to offer for being in
this condition." asked the judge, stern

We'll, l started out to find my
daughter fifteen years ago, and I've

and my daughter was married to Louis
K. Rodawalt. Her name was Mary
McCary. They lived in Pennsylvania,
going there from Wisconsin. I have
been in nearly every state in the Union
since that time, and 1 got track of
them once not long ago from a black
smith in Tacoma. He said he knew
them in a small town near there, in
Washington, and went there but they
had moved away. After I had searched
so far and thought 1 was going to see
my daughter, the only relative or kin
l have on top of Gods green earth,
was fooled again.
Its a hard life, judge and l don't
know whether / can ever find her
again; but how happy 1 would be if l
could. l have talked to the police in
every ethyl go into. ask the mail clerk
at the postoffice, look through the
telephone books and city directories,
and ask every body l meet if they know
my daughter. In all that time the.
blacksmith in Tacoma was the only
man who had met her.
why doesn't your daughter try to
find you if she is alive?" queried the
Judge.

OSBORNE FAMILY
STRIFE IS WEIRD

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. lin q
statement published today Mrs. LLOYD
osborne declared that her mother-in-
law Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson.
widow OF the noted author, is respon-
slble for the trouble existing between
her and Mr.. Osborne, which resulted in
their separation and the subsequent
litigation brought by Mrs. Osborne in
an effort to compel him to contribute
towards the maintenance of his wife
ana two children. The suit is now
pending in the courts.
A week ago Mrs. Stevenson came to
This city but left soon afterward when
attorneys for her daughter-in-law AT
tempted to obtain her deposition in re-
gard to the financial condition of her
son. She went to Santa Barbara her
nome where Mrs. Osborne asserts her
deposition will be taken. The friction
between the two women began shortly
after Osborne's marriage in 1896 ac-
cording to the statement.
Mrs. Stevenson took q dislike IN
me- said Mrs. Osborne. THAT was
all. There was friction between Mrs,
Stevenson and myself. Why? For
the life of me 1 cannot tell. 1 refused
to have my home dominated by any
one. And there was the rub Out
of the midst of this petty life my
husband went to New York.
