Nicaraguan Government Is
Not Willing For Half
To Secede.
REBEL CAUSE SEEMS
TO HAVE BEEN LOST
If Estrada Issues Order For
Secession Army Will
Oppose Him.

MANAGUA, March 4.-The proposar
of the defeated revolutionists to divide
Nicaragua into two republics will meet
with the opposition of President Mad
riz and the entire governmental army,
according to an official announcement
today. If Estrada issues prospective
proclamation announcing the secession
of the eastern half of Nicaragua, Cen
eral Vasquez will lead an army
against him Immediately.
The defeat of the revolutionists,
which is reported to be hurrying to
Bluefelds, has brought many neutrals
to the support of the government, and
strengthened the hold of the Madriz
administration on the country. The in
surrectionists now admit their principal
hope of success lies in the intervention
of the United States.

Reports from Points in
The Northwest Show
Improvement.
COLFAX HARDEST
HIT BY FLOODS
Conditions Nearly Normal
In Walla Walla and
Greek Recedes.

Reports from cities and towns
throughout the northwest today show
that conditions are greatly improved.
The smaller streams and rivers, which
have been responsible for the great
havoc wrought, are receding and the
danger point is passed in most places.
Locally, conditions are far under
the danger mark today. Mill creek is
still falling and the rains have dis
continued, even in the mountains. The
creek water today is much clearer
than for the past week and the water
in the mains is normal.
Colfax has been hit hardest, and
Boise seems to be second in the line of
damage. Dayton. Pomeroy, .Waitsburg
and other small towns of the valley
have had floods, but none of them has
been serious. Train traffic is being re-
paired, and although trains are run
ninC, it will be weeks before condi-
tions are normal.

COMPLICATIONS
WILL NOT FOLLOW

Considerable apprehension is being
evlnced by property owners lest their
answers to the census enumerator's
questions cause Increased taxation or
legal entanglements. The baselessness
of such fears is pointed out by an au-
thority, who says that all information
received by the census taker is held in
strict confidence
The information sought" says he
lis solely for general statistical pur-
poses. 1t will neither be Published nor
used in any way to disclose facts re-
garding any individual or corporation.
The census cannot be used in any way
in the assessment of property for pur
taxes, either national, state or local, or
for deportation proceedings, extradi-
ton measures, army or navy conscrip-
tions internal revenue Investigations,
compulsory school attendance, child
labor law prosecutions, quarantine re-
gulations, or in any way to affect the
life, liberty or property of any per-
son.
Replies of enumerators are held in
the strictest confidence, all bureau Of
ficials, supervisors, their clerks emu
merators and interpreters being re-
quired to take a solemn oath not to
disclose any information they receive
except to the census bureau. The vio-
lation of such an oath means pen
atty of $1,000 fine, or Imprisonment
for two years, or both.
"C.ergymen, priests, physicians,
school teachers, employers and other
citizens who come in contact with large
numbers of people are requested to
cooperate with the bureau by inform
ing people who believe and entertain
erroneous opinions of the census by
telling them the true facts of the case.
Teachers are particularly requested to
speak of the census to the school child
rem and request them to tell their par
ents about it,"

REAL ESTATE IS
MOVING RAPIDLY

Noticeable activity in the transfer
of realty holdings in this section is
apparent this week, indicating an un-
usual amount of business later in the
season. J. A Baxter this week sold his
7OO-acre ranch near Prescott for a top
notch price, the purchaser being w.
p. Lathrop. who, it is said paid an av-
erage of $50 per acre for the land.
Grant Copeland has purchased the DR..
Shaw ranch near Alto, consisting OF
ESQ acres. and c. c. Loney the Cox

the consideration in the two latter cas-
es being for 100000 Messrs. Loney

chase of the two farms jointly.

BIGGEST DAY KNOWN
IN CITY'S BUILDING
HISTORY.
Advent of Spring Shows
What Will Be Done
This Year.

Not since the office of building in
spector was established in Walla WAL
la mas such a record been established
In the issuance of permits as was
placed on the books this afternoon, the
figures amounting to $26OO0o. and the
spring rush in building lines is thought
to be on under full pressure. It is
doubtful if any month in past years
can show a grand total the equal OF
that for this month to date, and It is
certainty that March, 1910, win stand
alone for some time to come in point
of improvements of this nature.
The principal permit issued by Will
liam Metz this afternoon was to the
Baker Loan & Investment company for
building of steel, stone and brick at
Second and Main streets, the same to
cost $230.000. 1t has been announced
that this structure will be an S-story
building but the height was not stat
ed in the permit The term of 10
months has been granted in which to
complete the modern office building,
and operations have already been start
ed on razing the Baker Boyer bank
building which now stances upon the
site. The permit was applied for by
the Northwest Bridge company, of
Portland, represented here by d. M.
Stevenson, who will look after the
contract in this city.
Tenants of the bank building have
been given notice to vacate at the ear
many of the rooms are vacant. The
bank is to be moved temporarily into
the new Drumheller building on Alder
street, and it is thought that, with fa-
vorable weather conditions the pre-
sent structures can be removed from
the site within the next few weeks.
Corporation Permit.
The second large permit issued to-
day was to the Northwestern corpora
ton, In the sum Oh 9oV,VOV LUZ TIC new
brick ub-station, recently completed
on Sixth street. AT the time work was
started on this building, it was i'm
possible to make an estimate as to the
cost, and the inspector granted per-
mission to complete the building, with
the condition that the permit be Sc
cured at a later date when the ex-
pense was known.
That Walla Walla will this year en-
10Y the most pronounced building
boom known in years is the state
1nent of the leading authorities upon
the commercial conditions of the city.
Many fine brick and stone business
blocks are contemplated, in addition
to the numerous residences, and these
together with the whole
sale improvement of city streets by
paving, will tend to give the Garden
City an air of industry and prosperi-
tv heretofore experienced in but COM
paratively small proportions.

supposition that the tariff plank in re-

tempting to dodge the issue in his Lin

there was never any specific promise
