Many of the Stepney people are re- Joicing in the signs of public i'm Drovements. One of our enterprising citizens, not content with hard work to make better sidewalk for pedes- trians, insists upon helping to drive away tb' darkness by erecting fine new lamp in the center of the village park. Some men have the art of making tLeir presence manifest in a way which causes the wish to find its voice and cry. Oh, that there was another Fairchild dwelling in our midst.

 AMES' PLEASANT SPECIFIC. 4
 GREAT REMEDY FOR CONSTI-
 PATTON.
 It is our firm belief that in Dr Ames' Pleasant Specific we have the best remedy for constipation that was ever discovered. We base this belief on a number of facts that have come to our knowledge recently of cures that it has effected among peo- pie who were seemingly beyond help as far as relief for obstinate bowel troubles was concerned. They had | tried so many different medicines without benefit that it really seemed 1 as though they were destined to tray el this vale of tears with chronic con- stlpation as drawback to their health. We recommended pr Ames' Pleasant Specific, satisfied from our knowledge of what it has done for others, that if there was help for them it was this great remedy. And l. it cured them. In one or two of the i cases it required some time, but the cure was permanent. In other cases the improvement, dated from the first dose. We woulu like to have you try this greatest of stomach and bowel cures, and in order to make it easy for you we will sell regular full sized soc package for 25c, and guar antee a cure or money back.

WARMING THE FARM HOME

Our campaign for warm houses seems to have been effective, We hear of many instances where hot water and steem heaters have been put into farmhouses. One enthusl- astlc reader writes: If you Aeep it up as you have for the past ten weeks we won't ..dye any fafmh0uses left. They will all be suburban resi- denGes Gool for you. Really 1t does seem as though most country. folks expected to enjoy heat only in the other world" Our friend need not worry about the disappearance of farmhouses, We wish we could put path room and modern heating Into every country house. The comfort such things would bring can hardly be measured, and comfort in the farmhouses effects every part of nub- lie life helpfully. The cold 0i last winter was a fearful experience to many old and feeble people in the farm home. Do not let them suffer again.-[Rural New vorFer.l Hen " Foulois & Son handle the popular Ideal heaters and do their work on honor

arrived on the scene they found the
flames wei under control through the
quick work of William Hogoboom, who
had filled one of the track sprinkling
tanks and had hurried to the scene
of the fire with it. The flames were
first noticed in pile Of straw be-
tween the fair grounds and the Q. r.
& N. track, and had not the work been
so prompt. it is considered likely that
the grandstand and the pavilion would
have been destroyed. Two of the at
tendants at the fair grounds were on
guard as the locomotive passed and
within a few moments after 1t had
gone by fire was noticed in the grass
and straw.
One of the men from the stables
Immediately mounted horse and
came to the central fire station, where
he put in a call for the chemical, the
entire department responding. only to
find the danger past. Secretary Rob-
ert H. Johnson, of the Fair associa-.
ton. said this afternoon that he is
now convinced that the fire OF last
summer Which completely DESTROYED
the stables, was caused in similar
manner, although the railroad COM
pany has always protested against
that theory. The fact that the out
break of today's fire was witnessed by
two of the stable attendants proves
cunclusviely that sparks from loco
motive were responsible. AS heavy
wind was blowing at the noon hour
many people made rush to the scene
of the supposed conflagration, full ex-
pecting to see the buildings in flames;
and had it not been for William Hog
obooms prompt action, the fire boys
would undoubtedly have had difficult
work to master the situation.

WEEK IN
WHICH TO LIVE
Juan NicoIus, Filipino, Convicted Of
Murder, Will Hang One Week
From Today At the Pen.

Juan Nicolus, a Filipino, sentenced
from Kitsap county and at present
awaiting death in the state peniten-
tiary by hanging, will meet his doom
one week from today between the
hours of and IL o'clock Nicolus IS
apparently cool and calm in the face
of death and is ready to meet his fate
like a man. Absolutely unattended by
any friends or relatives he sits in his
cell from dawn till dark waiting for
April Is, when he will be lead to the
gallows and there hanged.
The Filipino is charged with
double murder which was committed
at the Port Blakely mills not far from
the Bremerton navy yards. One of his
victims was a white man by the
name of Brown, who was one of the
workmen in the great mills and whom
the murderer mistOOk for a certain
deputy sheriff. His other victim was a
little Filipino boy four years of age,
son of the man upon whom the GRIM
inal had sworn vengeance. The death
Of the little son was the result of his
solemn vow. Both were killed by be-
ing shot to death on January % last.
Nicolus was an employe of the mills
until few days preceding the crime.
When the Filipino is executed here
he will be the first of his race to be
put to death at the local institution.
1t has been over two years since the
last execution was made at the peni-
tertiary and the man who then died
on the gallOws was person named
Miller from CoWlitz county.

PRESIDENT KAISER OF
COMMERCIAL CLUB.

President Kaiser and the CONNER
cial club are to be congratulated upon
the work of the organization during
the past year as shown in the reports
read last evening by the secretary.
President Kaser deserves great credit
for the faithful and earnest attention
he has given to the work in hand. To
occupy the position as president of the
Commercial club means that a man
must sacrifice much of his time really
belonging to his own business for the
benefit of the whole community. Wal
la Walla owes much more than it can
ever repay to Mr.. Kaiser for his faith
full and persistent work. The city has
been fortunate in having such a man
at the head of the Commercial club
"a man who unflinchingly throws as
much vitality and enthusiasm into
civic undertaking as he does into his
own business 1t is to be hoped that
inaSmuch as Mr.. Kaser declines to
again head the Commercial club that a
man of equal enthusiasm, good judg-
ment and fairness will be chosen by
the directors.

WEATHER FORECAST.

W1alla Walla and vicinity: Showers
tonight and Saturday; cooler this af-
ternoOn.
Washington: Showers tonight and
Saturday; cooler this afternoon.
Weather Conditions.
The western area of high pressure
has moved to the southern slope of the
Rockies and the barometer has fallen
considerably over the Pacific north
west, due to a depression that has
appeared over the western Canadian
provinces Fair weather prevailed
during the past "a hours over the
western half of the country with tenn
peratures above the average in the
north Pacific states. A disturbance
remaining near New England has
caused light rain or snow to continue
in the eastern states. 1t is generally
cooler east of the Mississippi river and
generally slightly warmer in the west
ern half of the United States. Indica-
lions point to showers for this vicin-
ity tonight and Saturday.

Providence has doubtless conferred
this instinct upon the wife as q meas
ure of self preservation. But now, un-
der the ST. Louis ruling, she may lead
directly to the right hand trousers
pocket but there she must stop. The
law says she must not invade its sa-
cred interior, and the master or the

LONGER will it be necessary for him
to lay his money under the hall rug,

A CONTRAST

Figures compiled by the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce show that more
than $4,000 settlers have located in
Eastern Washington during the past
IA months Nearly all of them settled
in the rural districts, and most of
them in comparatively new and un-
developed regions. which, however,
were not very far from railroad
line The influx of newcomers into
that region is greater this spring
ton of the immigrants coming over
the Union Pacific and o r & N. have
tickets for Eastern. Washington points.
They travel over Hartman line out
of Hartman territory.
While these thousands and tens of
thousands have gone into Eastern
Washington how many have setted
in Eastern Oregon. Comparatively
few. And of these few but a very
small fraction have gone back into
Central Oregon, where there is land
for a million, says the Oregon Journal.
Still Eastern Washington grows and
develops rapidly; still a large jortion
of Eastern Oregon, just as rich and
attractive, lies dormant, uninhabited,
desolate. as if a blight of the Almighty
rested upon it.
There does rest upon it yet as for
a long time past, the blight of the AL
mighty Hartman. He is making
sounds and motions now indicating
that at last he may dispel that blight,
may open up that immense region to
settlement, cultivation, development
If he does. much will be forgiven; all
perhaps, will be forgotten. Yet it will
always remain true that no such
monstrous wrong was ever done an
American state by any man; corpor-
alton or combination, as has been done
during the past decade by Hartman
to Oregon. He has both plundered 1t
with one hand and strangled it with
the other.
The people of oregon would be
forms of men with souls of geese"
indeed if they permitted this condi-
ton to exist much longer. Unless
Hartman builds, and right soon, they
must build or offer such inducements
as will cause other capitalists to build.
Oregon must be throtted and held up
by one railroad buccaneer no longer.
