Streets Muddy
Says Fire Chief

That the unpaved streets of the city
are in the worst condition since he
took charge of the Walla Walla fire
department. was the statement made
this morning by Fire Chief William
Metz. The run to Fourth and Maple
streets yesterday afternoon was one
of the most strenuous ever made by
the departments, and the real con-
dition of the streets was shown
Chief Metz does not blame any city
official for the soggy appearance of
residence streets, because the weather
the past few weeks has been such that
nothing could be done to remedy the
defect. With the ground frozen to a
depth of almost foot, the melting
snow and heavy rains have had the
effect of thawing the upper surface,
and causing al unpaved thoroughfares
to take on an appearance similar to
much-used hog-wallow.
In making the run yesterday, the fire
departments were confronted with diff
ficulties after leaving the hard sur
face streets, as the heavy trucks sank
into the mire several inches, and in
some places it seemed that the bottom
of the streets had disappeared entire
ly. movement is on foot to pave
many of the streets adjoining the busi-
ness section, and this is expected to
have the desired effect in eliminating
the more Objectionable features Of the
present situation.

Pictures Of
The CZd7inQ
Wreck Here

Walla Wallans who were in the
vicinity of Coos Bay at the time the
"Czarina" was wrecked last week in
the terrific gale, and so many lives
lost, have forwarded to relatives in
this city photographs of the wrecked
steamer, showing members of the
crew clinging to the rigging, with the
enormous waves breaking over them.
Charley Mexican, who is on the road
for the Schilling company, was a pas
senger on the steamer Queen" which
endeavored to rescue members of the
"Czarina" crew, and has forwarded
views taken from the ship side. G.. H.
LaDue, another resident of this city,
who is visiting in Marshfield, has sent
a number of excellent photos, showing
plainly the figures of six men clinging
to the rigging, with towering break
er about to strike them.
Those who have never witnessed the
awful spectacle of a ship being ground
to atoms by the elements are given
vivid idea of the horrors of such
scene, surprising even the most graph
ic description. People waiting on the
beach are to be seen in the foreground
of the views received. and recipients
are considering the plan of having
the photos enlarged.

tempt to secure the indictment of the
individual packers but will probably
attempt to indict them collectively. 1t
is also said that Sims will submit evi-
dence upon which he anticipates the
indictment of the National Packing
company as a corporation and the di-
rectors Of other meat companies be-
lieved to be allied with the National.
That the packers will refuse to testify
before the grand jury is inferred from
their refusal to discuss the investiga-
ton and from the action of their at
torneys in declining to talk on the sub
iect, counselling the packers to science.
Every attorney reputedly connected
with the trust is here and the pack
ers will present a formidable array of
legal force in the forthcoming struggle.
In order to meet this, Sims has en-
gagged r. w. Medaris, special federal
counsel, to assist him. The hope of
relief from the high prices of meat
through the action against the pack
ers is somewhat mitigated by the
statements of J. ogden Armour, who
although refusing to discuss the grand
Jury investigation, commented freely
upon the high meat problem.
you can eliminate the big packers
from the situation, but the high price
will remain said Armour. prices
are high because the laws of nature
can not be changed. Increase the pro-

Armour declared the present state of

son that they could sell more meat"
