CAUSE FOR ALARM.

There are many college professors
who are fond of figuring out mathe-
matically the bowwows toward which
the country is so rapidly scurrying,
and one of them the other day held
up to a graduating class the horrible
picture of congestion which the
United States will present 100 years
from now when the population will
amount to 1,400 100000, or more than
400 for each square mile of our inn
mense area. Already, the professor
declared, the country has passed the
day Of cheap food and from now on
Che troubles will multiply and the

tenements of our great cities, will be

SOMETHING DOING.

To the most casual observer it is
evident that Walla Walla is a thriving
growing, healthy city. Evidence of its
thrift and growth are apparent on all
sides and it will be but a comparatively
short time now until the last relics of
pioneerism will have faded into dim
memory Walla Walla is improving,
in streets. buildings and in every way
that a city should. Municipal and pri-
vate improvements are in full swing
and it takes but glance to see thai
the town is alive.
This is the impression that the tran
sient visitor carries away. And this
is the information that will radiate
from the city by means of every visitor
Walla Walla entertains this summer.
And it is publicity, the kind of publicity
that pays Travelling men boosting for
the city will do much for it's welfare.
Visitors from the east will carry back
good reports of the Improvement and
the spirit they have seen here. The
lesson is easy to see: 1t pays to keep
the evidences OF progressiveness and
advancement around. 1t pays to be
alive. Walla Walla as a city is moving
along at a pace commensurate with
the development of the Walla Walla
valley, and there should be no let-up
to the pace that has been set; and
which is being followed.
Paved and macadamized streets are
the best possible inducements for out
siders. They improve the looks of the
city more than could be done in any
other way and always furnish a valu-
able asset in the line of publicity. Walla
Walla, famed for her shady streets,
will soon become known for her paved
ment that all cannot see the wisdom Of
just at present, but it is one that will
pay in the end.
And there are many more improve
ments which, if carried out, would
help materially along this line. There
are unsghtly old buildings that could
be removed, there are dirty places in
the city. Not many to be sure but
these will all be noticed by the newt
able knocker, of whom there are plenty
ready to use their tongues. washing
the baby's face has begun and should
not be stopped until the fine tooth
comb is used and the job is thoroughly
done.

CYRUS w. FIELDS SON BROKE.
Working in Cheap Lodging House
Trying to Regain Manhood.

NEW YORK, June 24.-Son of the
man, who laying the first Atlantic
cable, became world famous and later
financial ruler, Edwin F. Field is
working as day clerk in a Chatham
Square lodging house trying to regain
his manhood after years of dissipation.
Once he was confitlant and business
successor of his father, Cyrus w. Field,
with whose name men were once wont
to conjure; owner Of his own steam
yacht, coaches, palace on "the avenue"
and surrounded by luxury.
The transition seems Incredible. But
there is another side of the story al
most equally incredible, that Field is
cheerfully laboring to regain a place
and name in society.

HIGH WATER IN COLUMBIA
TEARS LOOSE TWO FERRIES

WENATCHEE, June 24.-The CO.

The gauge now registers 80 feet above

Steamboat company has changed the
location of the docks owing to the high

two blocks nearer the business part

Two ferries on the Columbia have
been washed out by the high water.
While the Barron & Spencer ferry, at
Dicks landing was crossing carrying
a two horse team and a load of lumber
the guy roaps broke and the ferry
started down stream. A row boat at

men in getting ashore, and one of the

WOMEN IN INDUSTRY.

To this question attaches much
current interest, and it is engaging
the attention of both men and women
| 1t is being discussed at home, at the
lodge, at the club, by the minister, the
teacher, the laborer, the business and
professional man, and by the business
woman herself. There is much to be
said pro and con on both sides of the
question.
Despite what else may be said of
the woman in business, she is not a
gossip. That one truth stands out pre-
eminent. Find a good business wom-
an and you have found a member of
the fairer sex who is far above the
petty peddling of unsavory remarks
about her fellow woman. She is char
liable and complaisant. No one can
gainsay that the successful business
woman has cashed in her natural de-
sire to fiirt, she has cast aside crushed
OF admirably concealed her weakness
as to what the world will say and
stands a living sacrifice to public
opinion. And yet she must do all this
and remain free from mannish attri-
butes, she must retain the finer quail
ifieations and be womanly, or she has
failed utterly of the great success at
tendant upon any sort of a career
There are a great number Of people
who criticise the women in business
and yet, apparently they have come
to stay Some women are forced by
circumstances into the world which
once belonged alone to men, but so
many of them have made good upon
the field that others who were more or
less inclined from an ambitious stand
point to enter the race have done so
with varied and interesting results
Few climb to the top Of the ladder,
the great majority struggle along in
mediocre positions, content to exc out
an existence until they can marry
This is evidently the prime object |
with 80 women of every 100, and |
should be, the object of the other one |
1t would be easy enough and pleasant |
enough to make getting married" her |

AWAIT PASSING OF FLOODS
TO BEGIN KOOSKIA MILL
Million Dollar Plant to be Erected as
Soon as Turbulent Waters
Recede.

SPOKANE, June 24.-When the
flood waters now racing down the
Clearwater river in Idaho have
passed and the SHOWS in the Bitter
Root mountains melted, engineers in
the employ of w. C. Day and his as
sociates, who plan to build million
dollar paper mill at Kooskia, will be-
gin work and establish the definite To-
cation of the big dam which will be
built across the middle fork of the
river.
During the last six weeks the pa
per mill representatives have been at
Washington for the purpose of secur-
ing a permit from the secretary of
war to dam the river They believe
construction work will begin by early
fall. The dam will provide 10000 cleo
trical horse power which will be usad
to drive the machinery. The dam will
create a mill pond where logs can be
stored. The company now owns 100
acres on the river front at Kooskia,
which will be used as a mill site.

PAULL's MILE is GREATEST.
Goes in 4:17 As. Fastest Time Ever
Made by Native American.

HdOo py tNdIiVS fAHu0TtCdUs
The mile record made by w. c. PAUL
OF the University of Pennsylvania, at
at Cambridge a week ago, is the fast
est mile ever run by a native born
in All AS, just two seconds faster
than the mark established by Trube, of
Cornell, who ran a mile indoors last
February in 4:19 40 in the Martin
ique cup race at Madison Square Gar
den The Aerican record, witch is
also the worlds record, is held by
Tommy Connect, a son of Erin, and
was made by him Is years ago, when
he showed his heels to a field of start
ers in AIS 3-5. The worlds best ark
in the mile is held by a professional
George, &n Englishman, who was timed
in Alp ga.
PAUL is easily the greatest college
athlete developed this year, not even
excepting Foster, of Harvard. During
the winter. athletic enthusiasts around
Philadelphia tipped him as the sensa-
ton of the season, although his repu-
tation as a high school performer had
preceded him. AS a student at Mer-
cersburg academy, under the coaching
of Kraenzlein, he was considered the
superior of any preparatory school
runner in the east. In practice this
spring, PAUL was credited on several
occasions with 4:20 or better, and the
fine hand of Mike Murphy showed it
self in the grand result.
The Pennsylvania boys race will go
down in history as one Of the greatest
pieces of distance running ever seen
! in America PAUL raced all the way
practically unpaced, and there is not
the slightest doubt that he can 81
faster. Had he been forced to go the
limit there is no telling what would
have happened.
