JOY the fruits of their labor
| I'VE of today" sad Mr. RAIDER. al :
| looking forward TO what the city IS
to become during our time Whether
Walla Walla is to become the i'm
| portant city of the west that now
seems certain, depends entirely upon
slight knowledge of the future that !
present to you list of improvements
| that are assured for 1870" The speak
! er then announced that committee
from the local Masonic orders is
working on plans for a Masonic home
| for dependent members, and that at
the June session of the grand lodge
the selection of the site for the home
is to be made. with all indications ia
voring the Garden City.
That the Christian church of the
| northwest will locate an orphanage
and widows home in Walla Walla is
now assured, the field secretary of
| the association having been here for
more than a week past making the
necessary arrangements. The site is
to be selected in the immediate future
and actual work started.
| 1t has been known for some time
that Columbia Lodge No. 8, knights
of Pythias, has been working indus
| triously to have this city chosen as
the location of the proposed Pythian
home, and the committee hopes to
have things in shape for the state
grand lodge to settle the location at
the next meeting
Members OF the local order of Elks
have announced their intention of
erecting a magnificent temple in the
near future, the structure to cost
from $125,O0O to O15O,OOO, and within
the next two or three months, accord
ing to Mr.. RAIDER. the committee will
be in a position to announce, not on
ly the location of the building, but al
so the date upon which it will be COM
pleted.
Among the improvements for this
year Mr.. RAIDER did not fail to num-
Der new buildings for Greater Whit
man college, and the enlarged plans
contemplated with the passage of the
bill by congress giving Fort Walla
Walla grounds to the college. With the
passage of the measure it is planned
to start the construction of magni-
ficent administration building, which
is to be followed by a library and
scientific buildings. 1t is not the
plan, however, to abandon the site
of the present Whitman college, the
intention being to maintain the con-
servatory of music and the enlarged
academy at the present location. Con-

SCHOOLS OF MASSACHUSETTS.

Massachusetts is evidently at a crit
ical period in its educational career and
il is of the highest Importance that no
mistake be made. The tendency of the
times is toward magnifying the indus
trial side of education. There is so
much work to do, and the demands of
daily living and of the fashions which
the women feel that they must observe
are so memorable, that the head of the
family is hard pressed for the where
withal to support the material side of
life. while the better side is generally
neglected for the inferior This domi
nation of the inferior is the phase of
education which has to be met today.
1t is a feeling on the part of many peo-
pie that the first duty they have to
perform is to get enough to eat well,
dress Well, live in a first class house,
supplied with all modern improvements
and spend well in the daily nonessen-
tials which consume a great deal Of
money and bring in very small returns
other than qualification of pride.

CHARGE COUPLE
WITH MURDER

LOS ANGELES, JAN ga coroners
jury in the case of Morgan Shively,
the Pacific Electric railway conduc-
tor who was killed early Sunday
morning in the home of G. A. Stone,
at San Gabriel, rendered verdict
today which implicated Mr.. and Mrs.
Stone in the murder.
Death was caused by the sever
by a knife welded by some unknown
person." the verdict says, but this
statement is followed by recon-
mendation that beth Stone and his
wife, who are low in the custody of
Sheriff Ha.nmel, with no charge
against them, 'be held to the higher
courts"
Sheriff Hammel and several depu-
ties made searching investigation
today in an effort to solve the mys-
terry of the murder by the finger
print method. What the result of
the investigation was the sheriff re-
fused to state tonight.
Many mysterious circumstances
connected with the death of Shively
are still to be cleared up. That all
of the clothes he wore previous tc
the time when he leaped through the
kitchen window of the Stone home in
a nude state were burned in the
tablished fact, but the reason for
burning the garments is not known.
No trace of the weapon used has been
found

THE CUSTOMS FRAUDS.


1t appears that the practice of de-
fgrauding the revenue by short weights
has not been confined to the sugar
trust The Independent refineries, so
called. the supposedly righteous antag-
onists of the wicked trust now ack-
nowledge to the same practices One
amount that indicates about the same
percentage of fraud as in the more con-
spicuous case and the amount of resti-
tuition to be eXacted of the remaining
independent is under consideration
The logical inference from these latest
revelations is not that everybody en-
gagged in business in New York is
equally dishonest, but that the corrup-
ton of the customs service there has
been so complete that it had become
impossible to do business with the
custom house upon an honest basis.
The first positive demonstration of the
system of false weighing was not as
applied to sugar, but to cheese and to
various other imports. The sugar
cases are more prominent because of
the enormous value of the importations,
and also because the business is con-
fined to such a small number of large
operators that it is possible to subject
every one of them to an exact account

Wallans on this point We're about to
be realized. Mr.. Stranorn Informed
Mr.. RAIDER that the survey from Spo-
kane to Walla Walla, and from the
pleted. nd that the contract for grad
ing so miles between here and Spokane
had been let Agents are now engaged
in securing right way privileges,
and springtime will witness a remark
able activity along this line.
Surveyors have been unable, owing
to severe weather, to complete the sur
vey through the Blue mountains g,v-
ing an outlet to the eastward, but as
soon as spring arrives, it is the inten-
ton of the promoters to rush this part
of the work in order that there may
be ne delay in placing Walla Walla on
transcontinental line. The sIien,
promoter further said to Mr.. RAIDER
that it was the high regard the CAPT.
talists had for this section that led
them to such an expenditure in enter
ing the valley. and extended best of
wishes to Nalla Walla business men
for the new year.
Mr. RAIDER, after enumerating the
many improvements planned, then
said that whether they materialized
or not, the future of Walla Walla is as
sured. as it is not dependent upon the
products of the earth, as is the case
in mining towns, lumber camps and
manufacturing centers depending
upon their factories. The climate,
similar to that enjoyed in cities much
farther to the south, he said was the
same yesterday, today and forever, the
Chinook winds were the same, the bub-
bling springs, the mountain streams
the soil and the people
THE Walla Walla valley is going to
remain prosperous" said the speaker
in closing. 1T is the best place in
which to be born, the best place to
live, and the best place in which to die
1t was the best yesterday, is the best
today. and will he the best forever"

Mr.. WI Ting fang, by confession in a
speech made in Philadelphia. is leaving
us in a friendly frame of mind, and
encouraged to believe that the good
relations now existing between China
and America will continue. They

WI should not persuade himself too
seriously that time will bring any ma
terial modification of existing law barr
ing Chinese ooolie labor from this
country No such change is indicated
by any correct appraisement of Ameri-

discussion, and American labor, organ =

sent to a proposition to lower them.
