WALLA WALLA WHEAT IS
READY FOR THRESHINC
OPERATIONS IN VALLEY WILL
COMMENCE NEXT WEEK ON
MANY FARMS.

The Walla Walla valleys annual
wheat harvest--the biggest asset 1t
has-will commence next week when
threshing will start in a number of
fields near the Twin cities.
This year the wheat harvest of this
locality will probably be the largest
in the history of the country Owing
to copious rains during the growing
period this spring and the lack Of hot
winds and other lettering weather in
fluences while the grain was in the
making, the yield promises to be
above normal Particularly is this
so on the lighter lands which do not
usually yield as we'll as the heavier
foothill soil.
The first machine to start. so far
as the Eagle has learned. will be the
H. A. Williams stationary outfit,
which will open the season on the
John McEwen place two miles west
Of Milton. probably Monday OF next
week. Mr.. Williams has new sep
arator to take the place of the one
burned at the close Of last season and
has in prospect a good run of from
80 to 40 days.
Most Of the grain in this vicinity
will be harvested with the combine
this year, as that machine Is growing
in favor with the farmers every sea-
son.
The. scarcity Of labor which usually
Is quite a problem in harvest time is
not expected to develop this season,
owing to the surplus number OF idle
men and also on account Of the in
creased number Of combines which
cuts the threshlng crews down more
than half.

Conway, July 2S.-Frank Cham necc indicted for the attempted murder of Hiram McAlister near Enola May 30, was sentenced this morning in the Faulkner circui, court to five years in the pcniten- tlary after he had plsaded guilty to the charge.

He alleged that McAlister and others of the ss,- tlement in which he lived were lined Up against hir' and that his act in shooting six times at McAlister was a matter of preservation. Jucge Trlmble criticised CAamness for at tempting 10 take the law into his own hands and told him that he deserved the full twenty-onc years set down by the law.
 Chamness will begin his sentence the latter part of this wcak. ,n January he completed a one c-year term in the penitentiary after con- viction for h3v1g assaulted Robert McNew with intent to kill.

which time they were on their knees, Becker praying fervently and pro- testing he is innocent.
 Through Father Cashin, he issued the following statement:
 q am satisfied that | will get no justice here, and all that do get will be in the next world. Eventually the truth will come out, and the world will know that Becker is telling the truth and that he is not the foul murderer he is accused of being.
 Anxious For Wife.
 q don fear death,' Becker said lo the priest. q it were a matter of choice with me, would much prefer death to a life sentence, but l hate to think of the stigma that will be at tached o my name and dhe distress and sorrow caused my loyal wife, brothers and sisters.
 "Her grief is uppermost Tn my mind, and l only wish 1 could dc something to relieve her."
 Becker inquired eagerly from Father Cashin whether Mrs. Becker had been advised of Justice Ford $ decision. When told that she had not, he delegated the priest to tele- phone to her at her home in New York.
 DO it as gently as you know now, father," he said. "It will break her heart and I ani fearful of how she will take it. ' Alxl
 "Ha was genuinely distressed when he mentioned his wife," said F'ather Cashin. "His voice dropped into monosyllables. Tears coursed down his cheeks and he turned his back to me as he tried vainly to hide his emotions"
 Between fits of praying, Becker denounced Whitman, saying that he had been bounded to the chair, and that a day of atopement would come for those who allowed mistaken sense O. duty to overwhelm their higher ideals.

BECKER BEARS BRAVELY.
Only for Moment Does He Display
 Despair When Fold of Decision.

Ossining, N. Y., July 2S.-The news that new trial had been denied Charles Becker was received at the warden's office at Sing Sing at 1O:23 o'clock. In a minute the telephone operator had communicated 1t to Deputy Warden Johnson and he in turn to Warden Thomas Osborne.
 Meanwhile, Mrs. Becker had left the prison and was at the station waiting for train. She had come up at 7:30 and Ina dremained in the death house until 1O:10, when she left for the station to get the 10:31 train to the city. After {, hurried consultation, it was decided not 10 break the news to her, but to leave her return to the city uninformed.
 While the faithful wife, cheerful and hopeful in the success of the husbands ability to force a new trial, was waiting half mile away, a tragic scene of heroic proportions was being enacted in the death house.
 At 10:35, Deputy Warden Johnson went into the death house. All was quiet with the tense quiet of nerves str2ined to the breaking point Not a sound was heard except the occas- ional rustic of 2 newspaper. Every one was awake, alert.
 Becker, his face haggard, was try ing to read, but without success.
 The night hush was broken by the sound of footsteps in the death house corridor. It rang out on the Hang ing ominously. 1t was the deputy warden.
 = Reads News In Warden's Face. Becker saw him coming from afal and strained his eyes through tho gloomy area way for a glance at tho deputy warden's countenance. One look was enough. As surely as if il had been written in large letters he read his doom. s
 AS Johnson approached, Becker stood up. He gree ted Johnson with { | hearty hand clasp. The deputy war den hesitated for the. fraction of I moment, and then said in low cleal tone:
 l T have. bad news for you, Charlie Your appeal has been denied" 2scker appeared dazed as he heard
 the words, but he only pressed John
