AN SWER FILED IN CASE
OF KlNcAlD AGAINST w. w. ".


In the case of w. H. Kincaid against
the Walla Walla Valley Traction COM
pany for damages, there was filed i'll
the superior court this morning a re-
ply, through the attorneys of the de-
PENDANT, denying the allegations of the
plaintiff. The plaintiff claimed that at
the intersection of Palouse and Whit
man, through the carelessness of the
traction company, no approach to the
rails had been prepared and owing 10
this fact, when attempting to cross, his
wagon axle had broken throwing him
on the ground, causing him to sustain
injuries.
This is denied by the defendant
which alleges that it had complied
with the law in every respect and that
the cause for the axle breaking was
due TO carlessness on the part of
the owner who knew in What a weak
condition it had ben prior to the time
of the accident.

ENOUGH sugar is made in this coun-
try so that along with what we import
we could give 80 3-5 pounds to every
man, woman and child in it. If any
one don't get his share it is his own
fault, as it is here for every one who
wants to have it. But somebody con-
sumes the readers share if he does not,
so the proper quantity to make up the
81 3-5 pounds is eaten up in some way.
The nation sugar bill was 1912, 600, 900,
or more than $1,OO0,OOO every day in
the year. That amount of money
bought 1909, 667, 975 pounds. What a
pity we cannot keep the money this
sugar costs us in the country and dis
tribute it among our own people. But
the statistics tell us we produce only a
little more than one-ffth of the amount
we consume, and get about one-sixth
from our colonial possessions, Hawaii
and Porto Rico, and the remaining 81
per cent. we have to buy from foreign
countries. We bought 2, 183, 500 tons,
more than one-half of which came from
Cuba. 1t is an encouraging sign, how
ever, that our home product is grow
ing. We made 544, 900, 600 pounds of
cane sugar and 967, 1000, 900 of beet SUI
gar. The beet sugar made in this
country is growing rapidly and for the
first time exceeds the quantity made
from sugar cane.

No MAN can lift himself by his boot
straps. That in effect is what the cof-
fee growers down in Brazil have been
trying to do for couple of years, as
pointed out some time ago in these
pages. The Brazilian government was
induced to practically buy and store an
enormous crop of coffee, in the vain
hope of keeping it off the market in
definitely, that the price might be lift
ed. But anything of this kind was
bound to fall of its own weight The
crop was 'fall in the show case, wheth-
er stored in Europe or Brazil, in gov
eminent controlled warehouses. The
coffee trade knew the facts and men
tally added this crop to another one
which had come along, breaking the
back of the market Now the Brazil
ian government is beginning to liqui-
date this unfortunate deal, the first
500, 900 bags of coffee to be sold be-
tween January / and June 80, 1910.
Efferts of well-intentioned but ill-ad-
vised people, who now and again want
to thus pile up an American crop of
wheat, cotton, etc., would terminate in
the same way. The world is so small
that every man knows what his neigh
Dor is doing.

THE unfortunate row in the Society
of Equity which resulted in t 0 separ-
ate organizations seems to ave been
more disastrous to the Wei being of
the order than was supposed. From a
late issue of the official paper.it ap-
pears that 1900 members had paid dues
to the Everitt faction while more than
80, 600 members declined to pay at all
and were in suspense to one or both
factions. What disrupting influence
a few ambitious leaders can exert. The
farmer can we'll afford TO- pray to be
delivered from these friends who are
trying to save him by holding lucrative
positions in such organizations.

eight experts, acting by authority of
examining the books and methods of
the municipal lighting and water plants.
1t is understood that the commission
desires an exhaustive investigation of
the subject of how municipal lighting
and water plants in small cities can
best be operated to show profit equal
to private plants in cities of similar
size. Expert service seems always de-
sirable when the state foots the bills.
If eight are needed to investigate the
Fort plant, what kind of pay roll will
the commission present when the whole
state is covered? Fifty thousand year
will not cover the expense of the rail-
road commission at that rate

WASHINGTON, ID. O., Jan. II.
THAT immediate fOrtification of
San Pedro harbor at Los Angeles
is necessary for the welfare of the
country is the burden of a state
ment made i'm special report of
the general staff of the army, IS
sued today.
The staff lays much stress on
the ease with which, under exist
ing conditions, Japan could occupy
the harbor and utilize 1t as base
of operations against the rest of
the Pacific coast and the Panama
canal.
Instead of naming Japan in
pointing out these conditions, the
report made reference to the mi
kado's country by saying a "cer-
tain Oriental power that has re-
Gently acquired great potential
strength"
Further the report declares that
a close study disclosed. the fact
that certain Oriental power
could, with a months time with
hostile intentions, begin to land
on the Pacific coast 100000 men
and that, this number could be
augmented by possibly 100000.
Attention is also called to the
easy manner in which the Orien-
tai power could gain access to
Unalaska ana Pearl Harbor and
seize both of them. 50.
Moreover, the report says that
in the event of the capture OF
the points mentioned and the oc-
cupation Of the same by the en-
efny the United States could new
er regain possession Of them. The
|staff submitted maps to prove its
assertion. The board estimated
that 1t will require $3.655,269 to
fortify San Pedro harbor.
