NOTORIOUS WOMAN
DEAD Of PNEUMONIA
Josephine Wolfe, Better Known as
dutch Joe" Succunbs to Dis
ease and Passes Away in
Local Hospital.

Josephine Wolfe, one of the Oldest
residents of this city and a well known
character, died at ST. Mary's hospital
last night of pneumonia after an illness
of several weeks. Widely known under
the title 'of "Dutch joe the deceased
has resided in Wal3a Walla for a period
of SO years and has owned the pres
ent home, II Alder street, for nearly
that length of time.
TIE deceased was born in Alsace,
Germany, in 1885 and coming to this
country at the age of 16 years, has
made. her home in the United States
since that period. Living for while
in the gold fields of California, she
then moved to this valley and since
her arrival into this section of the
country has been widely known as one
Of the town characters. The deceased
has no relatives living, an only cousin
having died in Germany two years ago
AS one of Walla Walla's pioneer
residents, she soon became well known
for her many benevolent acts and
kindnesses, always taking the greatest
care that no one should hear of these
things Throughout her long life here,
the deceased was recognized as one of
the most liberal of the money-givers
in matters pertaining to public con-
Germ and her private charities were
many.
In addition to owning the lot on AL
der street, the deceased also possesses
some valuable wheat land in this
county. Various estimates as to the
probable extent Of her fortune have
been made, some placing it in the $751;
600 mark but nothing will be known as
to this until the return of Father van
de Ven. administrator. who will then
file the will for probate. Father Van
de Ven was appointed to act in this
capacity last night before Judge
Brents Attorneys J. G. Thomas has
charge Of all of her personal affairs
but will give out no information re-
garding the amount of the property
left. It is rumored however, that the
bulk of the estate will be given to
church work and this theory is lent
color, owing to the fact that she was
reinstated in the church prior to her
death. other reports are to the erect
that the money will be used for the
founding of home for dogs and cats
this having been a favorite hobby OF
the deceased.
The body was removed to the Hen
nessey undertaking parlors last night
where it will remain until the time OF
the funeral This will occur next Sat
urday morning at $50 o'clock from st
Patrick's church the reverend Father
Van de Ven officiating.

FIND NO WATER ALTHOUGH
PROPER STRATA is PASSED
Drilling Will Be Continued Until the
Thousand Foot Level Is Reached
By Machine

Work on the Paine Buflingame well,
located about six miles below the city,
at the head gates Of their Irrigation
ditch, near Meador Park, has now pro-
crossed to a depth of 730 feet, water
having been struck in only small
quantities.
The basaltic strata which was the
last hard substance to be gone
through in the case of the Blaloch
wells, before obtaining water, has been
passed and contrary to expectations,
the artesian flow was not obtained. No
accounting can be gwen for this fact
unless it is that the subterranean pas
sage makes a great dip in that section
of the country or changes its course
and does not pass there,
The work of drilling will be con-
tinued for some time and the thousand
mark will be reached before drilling Is
stopped but if bv that time, a suffi-
cient flow has not been struck, diff
ferent locality will be tapped.

BRICK BLOCK FOR
COLWLLE Street
George Struthers and George Smell Will
Begin Erection of Business Build
inn on East Main Street
Corner.

Following the purchase by George
Struthers and George Smell. of the lot
on the corner of East Main and Col
vile streets. from o. D. Gibson, another
brick building will soon be erected In
the city which will be modern in every
particular Nothing definite as to the
plans and specifications of the structure
have been decided upon, but as was
stated by Mr. Struthers this morning
it would be a two story building and
would also be first class. It's future
use is still a matter of conjecture.
For years the old lodging rooms
known as the Missouri House" have
proven an eye sore to every one who
passed the place, but within few
days workmen will be employed tear
ing down the unsightly structure, pre-
paratory to excavating for the foun-
dations of the new brick.
The lot is splendidlv located and in
addition to improving that end of Main
street, it has been assured the builders
that it can be made a paying invest
ment. Brick buildings are rapidly be-
ing erected in that portion of the city
taking the place of the little one-story
shacks that were run up before such
things as brick and concrete were heard
of out west and with the passing OF
the older order, the city is made more
beautiful and at the same time is great
ly enhanced in value.

latter had transacted business with
out his knowledge and consent, and
haa afterwards destroyed the BOOKS

ed to act in this capacity.

ANOTHER MESSAGE
FROM THE COAST
Frank La Plant, Over Wireless a!
Kackett's Station, Again Gets Mes
sage from instruments Using
Continental Code.

Frank LaPlant. a Western Union OPP
orator, made another attempt last
night to determine the source of the
wireless messages received over the
Hackett station, Whitman street, but
as he received only portions of the
communication in the Continental
code, he was unable to make the ne
cessary deductions.
Last nights trial was made just De
fore midnight. LaPlant says he Will
soon make an all-night stay at the
station and in that manner learn deh-
nitely from what station the kilograms
are being sent. 1t is the belief now
ever that Bremerton station is re-
sponsible for the communications re-
ceived here.

Mexico archaeological matters and Is
an advocate of the proposed schoo.
OF archaeology which it IS desired e
establish in santa Fe, using the old
Palace for the purpose.
Il thoroughly agree" said Dr. Hew-
lit, with the objections Of those who
do not care to see the old Palace al
tered. It is too valuable a building
to be disturbed It's lines are the
classic Sapnish type Of the sixteenth
century, ana if 1t Is changed ut all
it should be to restore 1t TO its orig
inal form, the present portico being
"A corruption of less than fifty years
ago. 1t would be possible however
to use the building without chang
ing its present form. by extending it
back so as to make room for the mu-
scum which would undoubtedly fol-
low the establishment of the proposed
school her. This school would be Of
considerable value TO New Mexico and
IN four or five years the museum
would demand much more space than
can now be had with the present ar
%rangemcnt of the building. This
could be provided for however, by adj
ditions in the same type Of architec-
ture which would not disturb the pres
ent lines OF the building The plan Of
the society has enlarged considerably
since the school was first proposed
ana il is now desired to establish a
southwestern museum here similar to
those maintained In connection with
the schools at Rome and Jerusalem.
I would, however, be avcrse to any
reconstruction of the building which
would destroy it's value TO the people
Of Now Mexico from q historical
standpoint and it should be provided
in the bill. if it is decided to locate
the school here. that such additions
as are made be made in conformity
with tho original architectural plan.
