ARTESlAN WELLS.

Discovery of artesian water in the
Walla Walla valley in quantities that
will no doubt be the source of irriga-
ton of hundreds, yes thousands of
acres of land, means a new era for the
country. A new asset has been added
to Walla Walla's already large list and
the irrigating of these acres means the
addition of thousands of dollars an
nually to the country's pocketbook
At the Blalock farm the wells have
been discovered drilled to the great
est extent and they have not met with
a failure down there. In other places
the experiment has been just as sue
cessful and irrigation companies are
being formed to exploit these wells
and use their water for irrigating pur-
poses.
But the discovery of water in large
quantities has led, in some instances,
to its wanton waste. The United States
geological survey has found that these
wells, if left unrestrained, will last but
q few years However, if. they are
properly capped and cared for, they
will last forever. Florida let her wells
run loose and where 25 years ago there
was an abundant supply of water, to-
day there is so much less than is need
ed that actual want has been caused.
The same thing happened in Kansas
upon the discovery of natural gas
People let their lights burn all day be-
cause it Jared the mantels to turn
they did not want to take the trouble
to turn them off Now those same peo-
pie are realizing that in a few years
they will have to pay the old rates fol
manufactured gas.
The examples are we'll worth motto

White AND HUDSON
GUILTY OF BURGLARY
Men Who Entered Alfalfa House Are
Convicted in Superior
Court.

Found guilty as charged, James
White and William B. Hudson were
this afternoon convicted of burglary
The jury having reached this decision
after about an hours confinement
The evidence showed that on Feb
ruary 10, White and Hudson entered
the home of S. A. Corners of Alfalfa,
while he was absent and stole a d:a-
mond ring, a revolver, a pair of shoes
and a $40 gold piece. Having proceed
ed down the river to a railroad camp,
they were buying something to eat
when a party from Alfalfa came up
and arrested them, finding all of the
stolen articles in their possession. Hud-
son was wearing the shoes, while
White had the ring in his pocket with
$500 remaining from the $40.
This couple was accompanied IN
their wanderings from Portland, their
latest residence place, to Spokane, by
man named Wallace, who, it was
Gained by them, purloined the arti-
cles and afterwards gave them to the
defendants in the case without any
specific reasons whatever
This evidence was broken, however
and it was further ascertained by the
prosecution attorney that White had
already served term in the Oregon
penitentiary and was at this time Out
on parole. He also at one time, ex-
pressed willingness to plead guilty
provided the prosecuting attorney
would ask the leniency of the court in
the matter M. A. Stafford was attor-
ney for the defendants. Both of the
defendants were young, being not
more than "a years old.

year, Sc having been killed in that
month.
In addition to the animals that have
been killed by the poundmaster, more
than 200 have been disposed of to res
idents of the rural districts, bring
ing the total looked after by Mr.
Gates up to $50. Added to these are
the 400 dogs now existing in the city,
and protected by tags which were pur-
chased at the earnest solicitation of
the dog catcher. In all 1860 CANNES,
roughly estimating, have felt the
presence of the poundmaster since he
assumed control of his office and there
is still room for improvement.
There are still few mongrels run
ming loose within the city limits with
out the prescribed license tag, but
within the next few weeks, Mr.. Gates
proposes to bring all of them within
the meshes of the big net and one of
three fates await them: They will be
sold to farmers, provided with a tag
or dispatched with a little chunk of
lead.

RAILROAD OUTLINES
IT'S PLANS.

property owners on the streets likely
to be utilized are becoming anxious al
to the intentions of the promoters
According to a semi official report
this morning, the line will enter Walla
Walla from Dayton and Waitsburg,
across section 16, running thence south
on Roosevelt street to East Alder;
west on Alder to Howard, south on
Howard to a convenient junction with
Poplar street; west on Poplar street
to a convenient junction with line
across the military reservation through
the Blalock fruit farm to Wallula.
1t is the intention of the company
to erect substantial station house
along the line IN close proximity to
the business section OF the city, but
just where the building will be 10
Gated cannot be determined until the
exact route has been decided upon. 1t
is probable the line will be construct
ed on Birch street as far west as ST.
Mary's hospital, where it will proceed
north to Poplar street, and then in a
westerly course to Thirteenth street,
where the o. r. & n. line will be
crossed and the line constructed
through the military reservation, at
a point not far distant from the sta
bles.
Workmen in the Field.
Engineer C. H. w. Samson of Spo-
kane, who is in charge of the field
operations for the company, said this
morning that men are already en-
gagged in the preliminaries, and that
as soon as tools and materials can be
placed upon the ground, active con-
struction work will be taken up with
rush.
Owing to the vigorous protest
launched by residents of East Alder
and South Palouse street at the time
the city council was considering a
franchise for another electric line IN
the city, no attempt is to be made to
secure privileges on those streets,
though it is probable the line will
traverse East Alder street to the in
tersection with Howard, one block be-
low the line of the Walla Walla VAL
street. South on Howard the line will
extend either to Washington or Lin
coin or Newell streets, so that con-
nections may be made with Birch
street. Down Birch street to Fifth
and thence north on Poplar, the line
is practically assured. The franchise
which was granted by the city coun-
ell in 1906, specifies the following
streets on which the line may be con-
structed: East Rose, Sumach, Rose,
North Sixth, Main, Alder, Poplar,
Ninth. Tenth, Chestnut, Chase avenue
Eagan avenue, Jones. Newell, How
ard and Catherine, giving the right to
designate other streets, except Pa
louise south of Alder and providing
that before a line shall be constructed
on East Alder, the street shall, at the
expense of the company, be paved to
a width of 40 feet from Park to Clin-
ton street.
The franchise carries a clause
against the operation of freight trains
except at certain hours, as does that
of the Walla Walla Valley Traction
company and the Oregon Washington
company.

To be the confident and close ad-
wiser of her children from their earli-
est days should be the supreme ambi-
ton Of every mother. I once knew a
beautiful woman whose little boy had
always come to her first to share every
joy and sorrow. When she lay very
ill through many weary months he was
denied seeing her. At last when he
was permitted to enter the sick room
where she lay dying, he tiptoed softly
to her bedside and nesting close in
her arms said: 90, mother, so many
things have happened, and I've so much
to tell you that 1 can hardly wait till
you're able to hear it all. I was so
afraid I'd forget some of it that 1 just
had to write it all down."
One wealthy society woman I know,
makes it a practice of spending an
hour with her children every day di-
rectly after their early evening supper.
She will break any engagement to
reach home to keep this appointment,
II can have parties and friends all my
life" she says, but only a few years
of dear babyhood and childhood are
granted me and 1 mean to enjoy my

Another busy housekeeper whose day
is filled with household tasks from
morning till night, leaves the supper

may devote herself to her children an

dences. Sometimes I read to them Or

Evening
Chit.Chat
by PATRICIAvANPATTEN

That beautiful little poem of Long
fellows, 1.-The Children's Hour" is a
needed reality in our lives today. Toe
often in the busy rush of modern home
life there seems to be no time-no hour
of the day that can be set apart as
belonging to the children
A child is hurried off to school at
nine o'clock in the morning, coming
home at the noon hour for a hasty
lunch, then back again for the after
noon session. When he returns at four
in the afternoon mother is apt to be
either very busy at that time, or else
away from home altogether, shopping
or visiting. Immediately after dinner
the children are generally either hur-
ried off to bed or sent upstairs to study
their lessons in order to permit the
parents to fulfill their evening engage
ments at theater, or card party. The
result il that the mother sees little OF
nothings of her children during the
week days.

RUSH COUNTY AFFECTED

Complaint against the nudge injur-
ing the wheat in Wayne county has
not been as general as in Rush county.
The nudge is a small green bug that
destroys the grain. 1t attacks the head
and in short time has brought ruin.
In Rush county every township is af-
flicted, to certain extent. 1t is claim
ed worms have attacked the corn. The
worm works at the root and the result
is seen when the leaves turn a purple
or pink color. The cause OF the pests
is attributed to the wet weather OF

Which Is Severe Blow
To Loafers.
ABUSES CAUSED ACTION
CROWD OF YOUNG MEN AND BOYS
HAVE MADE LAWN OF COUNTY
BUILDING THEIR hEADQUAR-
TIERS ALL SUMMER.

Sheriff Meredith has been instructed
by the county commissioners to keep
loafers off the grass in the court house
yard. Never was the lawn SO beauti-
full and with the exception of a few
bare spots worn by boys in their
games and sports the grass is thick
and luxuriant. The order Of the COM
missioners is the result of abuses by
a crowd of boys and young men that
makes the court house yard its CEN
trail loafing place. All kinds of games
have been INDUCED in and no regard
ever was sustained for the grass. The
sheriff will enforce the order.
To Restore Lawn.
A special effort has been made to
restore the lawn to good condition.
The numerous paths worn across the
green have been spaded up and sown
with grass seed. Barriers have been
erected to block their use. Boards
have been erected warning pedestrians
to use the walks and keep off the
grass. A small part of the public is
to blame for the order of the commits
sioners court. Two years ago the lawn
was dedicated to the city as a park
and play ground. But no attempt was
made to keep the lawn and flower beds
in condition, SO now the public is
barred. There is no prettier spot in
the city than the court house block.
