There is much speculation az to

This cash prize is given by the citi-

the reputation Of being the best fair in

the Winsted fish department, who has
been putting in weeks vacation on

there for big catches. Here'a how he
did it
He placed a number Of shiners, or
live bait, and one or two email frogs
in glass bottles OF two gallons capacity
and tnen suspended the bottles in deep
water from a small raft. As the big
bass and pickerel tried In vain to get
the little fish in the glass inclosure,
Coffey, who fished from rowboat near
by, dropped his halted line close to the
bottles and the assembled fsh were
caught az fast as they could be pulled

With prices at their present high

most profitable of employments. Spot
wheat has gone up farther even than
Patten predicted, which shows that
the crop is shorter than had been
popularity supposed. Crops of all the
cereals are likely to be larger in 1909
than they were in 1903, but the de-
mand, at home and abroad, is n
creasing so rapidly through the
growth of population in the nonagri-
cultural pursuits that prices are not

VACATION TIME.

With the closing of colleges and
schools, the higher and hotter raisings
of the summer sun and the coming OF
longer days and warmer nights, this
is the season of the year when almost
everybody but the farmer is thinking
OF some sort of a vacation.
1t has long peen unnecessary to try
to convince people that they should
take a little time off for recuperatfon
of their Wearied physical and mental
strength. The cumulative rigOr of
the modern commercial grind has
brought the necessity home to all.
There are few who cannot afford
some form of vacation, some tenn
pOrary cessation of the merciless
silence from the noisy whirr of
modern life. At least, there are
plenty of facts at hand to prove that
many could afford this privilege who
do not indulge it.
that it was one of the luxuries Of
the rich; that it was, at best, ex-
by those of moderate means. This
idea strengthened the reluctance of
people to recognize the physical and
mental necessity of vacation in
some form or other AS opportunities
for recreation grew more numerous
and less expensive, the annual vaca-
ton took on more the character of a
necessity of life and not merely a
perquisite of the envied-few.
The vacation possibilities within
easy reach Of Walla Walla are suited
to every purse, from the most pie
thoric to the most slender. The prob
lem, however, of choosing from an al
most bewildering variety has been
partially solved this year by the A
Y.-P. exposition and many Walla
Wallans who have sought recreation
and rest at the SeaShore, on the lakes
or in the mountains will this year
spend their brief respite from the
cares Of everyday life in sightseeing
at the fair. Some who are fortunate
enough to take the whole summer
will visit Seattle and then seek
soothing solitude under the sheltering
pines of some shaded resort. Happy
the one who can go to the seashore
or the mountains for a whole delight

category. But to even those who have
only a few days they may call their

CITY PLUNGED
IN DARKNESS
Storm Caused a Break in
Front Of the High School
Last Night.
P. S. C. LIGHT WIRE FELL

The wind and sleet caused one Of the
Public Service Corporation electric
light wires in front Of the high school
in State street, to break shortly after
Z O'Clock last night, plunging the city
into almost total darkness.
The breaker in the company's station
was blown out, and in the Packer House
and few other places, bulbs were
ruined. Those who were in hotel at the
time say that there was a loud report
when the darkness arrived -nsr
Superintendent Hufnagle, who was in
his Office when the lights went out, hur-
ried to the sub-station and in two min
minutes there was light again. The
broken wire was found and repaired by
a gang of linemen later.
Mr.. Hufnagle said this morning that
the sleet made the wire heavy, and the
wind blowing against it caused it to
come down.
