will not drop.
That will be the crucial moment for
Johnson and, in a way, for the fight
ing spark in the negro race.
1t will be the test whether negro
without moral support, can fight when
the fight is going against him.
In that moment, when Johnson de-
livers the blow that falls, all the SUI
perstitions awe in which he has held
the champion, and all the backs of
his race that have bent before the
white men, will come to him in a
flash. When we will see if Johnson
can brush aside that feeling and fight
On with the exalted conviction that
HE cans lose either.
Many of Johnson's adhsrents point
back to the black mans career and
show that he has never worked hard
to WIN Like so many elements of
this meeting of the white and black,
this is temperamental.
Johnson can't work hard and con-
tinuously in a prize fight. He hasn't

makes him hear the shouts of the
crowd makes him appear to be fool

He fights by flashes.
James J. JeffrieS can look out for
the flashes because, as the side

death is in every blow"
The buffalo bull can look out for
the sudden leap of the lazy-lool<ing

NO HUNTING ALLOWED.

Rural delivery carriers who have
been doing a little hunting on the side
will be required to "cut it OUT. The
postoffice department has issued an
order that carriers must not stop to
shoot game while in pursuance of their
duties In other words, Uncle Sam in
sists that there shall be no loafing on
the job.
Carriers who have formed the habit
of taking along the family shotgun
when they start over their route and
taking an occasional pot shot at a
squirrel or a rabbit will feel keenly
this curtailment of their privileges. To
thase whose routes lie in regions where
any game is left this order of the post
office department is likely to be a rather
serious matter. Carriers who have been
able heretofore to supplement the
household harder with the trophies of
their craftsmanship will be compelled
q Hef " JOIN the dHli-Ineat boycott OF
to lay out larger amount than usual
for the family food supply. In the case
of carriers who have large families
the amount saved in meat bills by
bringing home a well-filled gamebag
is considerable Carriers salaries are
not large and many of the farmers
are not educated up to giving tips.

THE TIMBER THIEVES.

If reports from Indiana are correct,
that state has a pest that is nearly, if
not quite, on par with the infamous
night riders" who but lately infested
some parts of the south. The Indiana
pest is the timber thief. Specimens
Of this genus are reported to have ap-
piled the torch to farm buildings in
southern Indiana for the purpose of
driving the farmers from that region
Houses and barns on is farms have
lately been destroyed in this manner,
according to reports from Nashville,
the seat of Brown county, INTO which,
until lately, no railroad penetrated.
Farmers and their families have had
to run for their lives from their blaz-
ing homes, and for miles south of
Nashville the families have moved out
leaving the timber thieves to cut and
haul away walnut and hickory logs at
will-which they are said to be doing

Snow Fades

Although the barometer in the
weather Office has been doing some un-
usual stunts during the past II hours,
Weather Observer Grover has not pre-
dicted anything more severe than fair
conditions tonight and tomorrow, with
slightly cooler tonight. The Walla
Walla valley has apparently escaped
the severe storm that has been rag
ing throughout the northwest for the
past two days, and it is not probable
that anything in the line of severe
conditions will be experienced.
All snow in the valley disappeared
yesterday before the high wind that
blew all day, and the streets were dried
perceptlbly. A slight freeze resulted
last night, but not of sufficient severity
to tie up the street work contemplated

This subject was given considerable
discussion a few weeks ago at one Of

was taken, and it is probable the SEES

the effect of starting interested ones
to immediate action.

Resolved that a vote on a general
strike be taken today and action post
poned until Saturday, March 5 and
that meanwhile a copy of these resolu-
lions be presented to the council of

ell be requested to direct Hon. John E.

Some time Sunday night burglars
entered the Great Northern Railway
company's depot at Hamilton, N. D.,
secured S4.3S, most of which was in
nickles and pennies, from the cash
drawer, and made their escape. AL
though there were plenty Of valuable
freight and express packages at the
disposal of the men who committed the
burglary. these were ignored and
nothing but the cash was touched.
Entrance was gained by forcing open
the door in the freight shed in connec-
ton with the station.

not on the premises after nightfall. His
attention was first called to the matter

Upon examining the ticket files, how
ever, it was found that these too had
been left intact.
