charged with selling liquor TO Indians.
The officers have been in town for
some time, pretending ito be landseek

at O'Neirs saloon. SECURING. at vaTi-
Gus times, what they considered SUI
ficient evidence, this morning they
made their identity known. O'Neii and

quently made in open council that

without due notice, merged No. 81 and

81, comprising both thoroughfares. No
call for bids has been issued for the
district as it now stands, the figures
having been submitted by the Barber
Asphalt company when the call was
made separately for East Rose and
North Palouse.
When the first petition was filed
with the council, asking for improve
ments on the two streets, a call for
bids was issued, with the result that
the Blome Cranitoid company was
awarded the contract. Later develop
ments, however, showed the Blome
company to be out of the running in
other districts, and their representa-
tive announced that he would not
bring his machinery here to perform
the work in the two small districts.
Attorneys Confer.
City Attorney J. C. HurspoOl and the
legal representative of the Barber AS
phalt company yesterday afternoon
held a prolonged consultation relative
to the legality of the bonds to be is
sued upon the completion of the work,
and apparently an agreement was
reached whereby there will be no hitch
in tn proceedings. One of the signifi-
cant facts in connection with the con-
solidation of the two districts is that
property owners were given no init
adopted. There is possibility that
the proceedings will result in a tie-up,
as it is claimed by some who are con-
versant with local improvement meth
DDS. that due and proper notice should
have been given of the intention of the
council to merge 43 and 81 under the
new number, 81. Even then it is
argued. there would, be possibility of
technicalities arising because of the
consolidation of the interests of two
distinct and separate streets.
As soon as the assessment roll is
completed by the assessor, it will be
submitted t othe council, and in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
cnarter. property owners will then be
given an opportunity to protest.

man was breathing his last and the

the police being called. forced it bach,
and took the auto party, consisting OF
John Baxterand wife and son Richard,
a sister of Mrs. Baxter and Mrs w. D.
Paul with her three children in charge.
When taken to the city Jail, Mr.. Bax-
ter summoned Attorney John Sharp

and he was permitted to go free: E..
c. Burlingame and Charles Loney stood
for the bond
Statements as to the disaster are at
variance and many of the eye witnesses
give conflicting testimony. Some claim
that the machine was being driven over
the speed limit, while others. and these
seem to be in the majority, say that
Mr. Baxter was not to blame, as he
was complying with the law and made
every possible effort to avert the ca
tastrophe. 1t is known. however, that
the corner of Fourth and Main streets
is the busiest in the city and in con-
nection with the fact that no electric
lights were on, it has frequently proved
hard matter for persons riding in We
hicles to make the turn successfully.
Instead of blaming Mr. Baxter. people
are prone to cast the responsibility up
on the moonlight" company which
had no lights burning in the city, (see
council which made the contract) When
tested later in the evening. it was prov
ed that the lights from an automobile
cast scarcely enough glow to see but
few feet ahead of person riding
in a car and this is thought to be the
reason why Mr. Baxter approached
Mr.. Coffin so closely without seeing
him.
Another phase of the case which will
not be overlooked by the coroner is that
the deceased is known to have been in
toxicated nearly every time he came to
the city from his home below here.
Police Officer Jack Lambert states that
this was the case last night, and this
evidence is said to have been corrobor-
ated today
Victims Wife Informed.
The news Of her husbands untimely
death was not broken to Mrs. Coffin un-
til after she had been informed that he
was >seriouly injured. She is suffering
a total collapse. Several brothers of
the deceased came to Walla Walla
last night. Mrs. Coffin will probably
come today. The deceased was very
wealthy. owning a large farm adjoin-
ing the Blalock fruit ranch and having
amassed a considerable fortune.
Daniel Palmer, who works on the
Coffin place says Mr. Coffin worked
about the farm a little yesterday
morning and left in a rig for town
yesterday afternoon. His horse was
later found hitched in Alder street,
where he was accustomed to leave it.
The dead man is we'll known through
out the county. He is about So years
old and has been a citizen of this val
ley for number of years
Was a Lodge Man.
The dead man was a member of the
/. o. O. F. and also the Eagles. The
latter order upon hearing of his death,
sent a committee to call on Coroner
MacMartin last night to see if any
thing could be done.

Fighting Nobody.

When asked whether tie Northern
Pacific was Waging war on electric
lines in this section Of the country,
President Elliott said his company was
fighting no other line. The cost of cleo
trifying the Northern Pacific branch,
he said, would amount to approximate
ly $4,000 a mile and for that reason
he seemed to frOwn upon the persistent
rumors to the effect that such action
was to be taken in the near future.
President Elliott is a pleasant and
affable person to talk with, though he
is prone to circumvent a point blank
query on an important subject rather
than answer it, leaving the listener
somewhat in doubt as to his true mean
ing. The party left this morning to
inspect the Northern Pacific line as far
as Spokane

with local railroad promoters to cleo

President Elliott was retcent. though
he admitted he had had some ncgotia-
lions with DR.. N G. Blalock to that
end. The manner i'm which he announc-
ed nothing had come of the transac-
ton, however. indicated that he was
not in favor of such plan.
Mr.. Elliott expressed the opinion
while here that a car shortage might
be in effect later in the season. there
being at present a great demand for
accommodation for the lumber and
wheat products of the west. The North
ern Pacific placed an order in July for
200 box cars in July, 500 of them to
be built in the company's shops in
Tacoma, 200 in Seattle and the others
scattered in different sections Mr..
Elliott said it was the policy of his
company to give the west as many or
ders as it could handle, and for that
reason placed an order for 200 cars in
Tacoma and 200 in Seattle
No immediate improvements are
contemplated on the Walla Walla
branch of the Northern Pacific, aside
from laying heavier rails on some of
the more important grades. Taken as
a whole, Mr. Elliott says the road is in
excellent condition. Indications at the
present time are favorable to an i'm
mense business during the autumn
months and conditions throughout the
west are good.
President Elliott and party left ST.
Paul August 4, and arrived in Spokane
August II. in time for the Irrigation
congress. at which he delivered an adj
dress Since that time, the party has
been inspecting the company's lines in
this state. and are gradually working

THE government has now opened its
i alcohol school in the city of Wash
ington for the instruction of the peo
pie Of the United States in proper
methods of making and using the de-
natured product.
For this purpose a model still has
been erected close by the department
of agriculture which is big enough to
work up rs bushels OF corn day, con-
verting that quantity of grain into 20
gallons Of 95 per cent. alcohol-that
Is to say, 95 per cent. pure. The plant
represents the smallest outfit that can
be conducted probably on CONNER
cial scale.
The farmers cannot very well see 1t
for themselves, SO arrangements have
been made by which they may learn
about 1t. Agricultural experts from
the experiment stations In every one
Of the states are to go to Washington.
examine the alcohol-making outfit, see
how It works and listen to a course of
lectures explaining its management.
1t will be their business when they go
home to teach the farmers how to put
up and how to operate plants of this
character.
