GRAIN INSPECTION. North Dakota Farmers Are for the McCumber Bill Which Is to Be Reintroduced. Fargo, N. D. —An effort is being made to create sentiment favorable to government inspection of grain. The bill was introduced in th.> last session of congress by Senator Mc- Cumber, but too late to get it through. The senator wil] reintroduce the bill at the next session and sonic of his friends are endeavoring to stir up the farmers on the proposition. They are fairly well convinced that they are being buncoed in grain grades. Tesis have frequently been made by sending parts of a load of wheat to one elevator and another load from the snme machine to another elevator and there would be a grade ami some times two in difference. The buyers of the wheat are in Minnesota and Wisconsin and they fix the grade. Farmers who grow the wheat have absolutely nothing to do with the fix ing either the grade or the price. As a result the most of them favor gov ernment inspection. Minnesota and Sonth Dakota farmers will be asked to assist in the movement. "Faith. .Mrs. O'Hara, how'd ye till thim twins apart?" "Aw.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local application as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumb ling sound or imperfect hearing, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor mal, condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever;nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is noth ing but an inflamed condition of tne mucous surfaces.

To a people working as hard and living as fast as the American peo ple, public amusement and recrea tion art- a necessity. American pub lic opinion has set limits to lawful amusements, but when such are fur nished, the universal experience is that the patronage is liberal. A peo ple having money to spend will spend it —properly if they can, improperly if they must. One of the striking features, of Walla Walla summer life this year has been the Shields' Park, the Family Theater and Dreamland I Park. Hundreds of people have at tend* d each performance. It is of ten tic case that whole families at tend each niglrt and many families make it a rule to go to see each change of performance. The base blowers and the concerts of the Wal la Walla Military band, all have large attendances. The coming fruit fair will no doubt eclipse all previous records for number of pai l admis sions. Great interest is being mani fested in the coming "Merchant's Carnival." Whether a city, like Walla Walla, having revenues deriv ed from its private ownership of val- A fine lino of ROOkWOOD WARE. 1 iookwood ware is not a passing- fancy. It will always be in style. Martin Jewelry Company. Eyes Tested Free at Martin's Optical Parlors. uable water rights, should provide an ample site, conveniently located, for the amusement of its citizens, where entertainments, out of doors, can be held on a large scale, is a question which the Statesman will take up shortly. CEMENT SIDEWALKS. The abominable condition of the wooden sidewalks in the residence portions of the city of Walla Walla causes complaint all over the city. There are holes in which a leg may be broken every block. Nails stick up against which feet are hurt and trousers and dresses torn to tatters everywhere. This condition demands a remedy. Recently it was reported that a contractor had taken the job for building the concrete-cement walks around one of the public school buildings at eight cents per square foot. This would be 72 cents per square yard. The city sidewalks in the residence districts are six feet wide. Two square yards of width would make three running feet of sidewalk. Assuming that the school house walk is to be built on specifica tions, the cement sidewalk would cost, at the same rate, 4S cents for each running foot. As a matter of fact, considering the great number of feet to be constructed, the contractor could afford to build the sidewalk cheaper. But even at 48 cents a run ning foot, the cement walk is vastly cheaper than a wooden walk, which costs on the average about 25 cents running foot. A cement-concrete walk, properly constructed and laid below the frost line, would be prac tically indestructible, while tbe av erage life of a wooden walk is not more than seven or eight years. The city has jurisdiction over sidewalks, just as it has over fire limits, ami can prescribe the limits within which cement walks must be constructed if i; chooses to do so., Experience has shown that property owners will not take the initiative in making public improvements, and that the council has to lead. It is well for any municipality when its council men are men of ideas and experience, and lead their people to wise and permanent public improvements. There is ample room for the exer cise of all the talents any councilman may have for the public betterment, and this administration has a noble chance to make a departure and a record in these directions. The Prescott Spectator says: "A railroad commission can't do the people of Eastern Washington any harm and is bound to do them some good in the way of lower freight rates and more equitable taxation. The people of Washington have demand ed an appointive commission, and the two great political parties in the campaign of last year each promised the people that this commission would be given them. The republi can party was put in the control of the legislature, but, through the ma chination of the railroad machine, the commission lull was defeated and the valiant republican governor, who had worked so hard for the measure, and the bill itself were turned down, by men. who, in accep ting a nomination on the republican ticket had thereby pledged them selves to vote for the measiire. Still these promises were violated and now it is up to the rank and file of the party to rebuke and punish these Judas Iscariots. If the people would demand honesty from the politicians they would soon get it. Rank parti sanship on the pait of the people will never promote integrity on tie part oi' their servants: uncompro I mising partisanship is the shield be hind which the dishonest politician has long been protected.

WATER SYSTEM IS INSTALLED Horsemen Frcrn Abroad to Arrive This Week to Train Strings Here— Stables Be Completed Tomorrow. This week will be a happy one for the management of the Walla Walla County Fair association. Work on the track and buildinfcgs, which har bee prosecuted with vigor for three months, has reached a point where the directors and promoters can look back over their efforts with satisfac tion. Two days more will see the stables completed and the track ready for use. The installation of a water system, which was considerably delayed ow ing to the non-arrival of necessary pipe, was completed today. Stand pipes for ftirnishi'nng water for the track have been placed at every quarter post and the question of ample water for all purposes has been solved to the satisfaction of the directors. The work of putting the track in condition for training purposes will be commenced tomor row and Wednesday, with the stables completed, the grounds will be ready for horsemen. i Contractor Mangan and a force of carpenters, who have been engaged the past two weeks, electing 7" ad ditional stalls, will complete the work tomorrow and start on the new grandstand and judges' stand. Walla Walla's fair and race meet this fall, is attracting much attention from outside points and Secretary Caswell is kept busy answering let ters of inquiry. The largesr number are from horsemen who are desirous of bringing their strings here to train and from stockmen who are interest ed in the cattle show of the fair. A string of 15 runners from Lewis ion will arrive at the track Wednes day. The owner expects to make the circuit this fall, returning to Walla Walla for the race meet. Local trainers will take up quarters at the track this week and begin getting their charges in training. Frank Barrows will have a dozen Del Norte colts in training this fall and William Hogoboom will have, in addition to his own stable, at least a dozen outside horses to look after.

H. Olson, a South Da kota farmer who last year bough: land several miles southwest of Wal la Walla, has introduced a new vari ety of wheat called "Arnautka Maca roni." It is a hue producer, espec ially or. light soil in semi-arid re gions, tests high, and ranks above blue stem for milling purposes. For three years in South Dakota Mr. Ol son got abundant crops of Macaroni wheat when blue stem was a failure. The berry is large, long and flinty in appearance. Mr. Olson was in Weston yesterday taking orders for seed, and had a sample of the wheat grown near Walla Walla. Tbe wheat originated in the Volga district of Russia and is indorsed by the U. S. department of agriculture. While drouth does not kill it like any other wheat, it flourishes better where moisture is abundant, beating blue stem, Fife and red chaff in yield.' Mrs. J. E. Fletcher of Eau Claire. Wis., who is visiting her nephew, W. H. Fletcher, bad an unpleasant expe rience last Friday evening while on the way from Wesxon to Fletcher's mill on Weston mountain. The team was being driven by Guy Thompson, and the other occupants of the bug gy were Mrs. Fletcher and her grand niece. Miss Mary Fletcher. While driving rapidly along near Cold Spring Thompson ran the rig into a stump, and all three were thrown out, Mrs. Fletcher sustaining a frac ture of the left shoulder. She was taken on to the mill and Dr. Best was summoned to attend her. At last accounts the patient was able to sit up and is getting along nicely. HAS FAiTH iN COUNTRY. Washtuona Enterprise: Senator O. T. Cornwell was up from Walla Walla last week looking after his wheat ranch near Kahlotus. To a representative of the Enter prise Mr. Cornwell said: "I am not discouraged in the least over the out look for this part of the state. All of the wheat on my Franklin county land was on sod and the yield is, of course, light. The surprise is, how ever, that there is any wheat at all. This section had much less moisture than the Walla Walla valley and con sidering the newness of the land the comparison with the older settled community should he gratifying to this section. An ordinary season next year will put this in the front ranks of the very best sections in the state, where I am satisfied it he longs." Before moving to Walla Walla Sen ator Conwell resided many years in the western part of Whitman county in the vicinity of Pampa. where he had large landed interests that he disposed of only last year. He also lia.- a fine farm in the Walla Walla valley and continues to give his at tention to farming. He has served the joint senatorial district of Adams Franklin and the west half of Walla Walla county in the state senate the past four years.

DIETRICK SKIPS OUT Spokane Gambler Jonps $750 ash Bail Bond. IMVT LIKE nm\ PROSPECTS Rumors That He Has Gone to San Francisco That Mecca of Broken Down Sports, Fritz Dietrick, who offered himself as a voluntary sacrifice to test, the validity of the new law making gam bling a felony, lias departed from Spo kane, says the Saturday's Spokesman- Review. He left on the west bound Northern Pacific train at 2:30 o'clock this morning, and rumor is rife that he has jumped the $Toti cash bail bond which was put up for his appear ance a few days ago. Rumor is like wise prevalent that he is headed for Sim Francisco thai Mecca of broken down sports. No concourse of people, no brass band escorted Dietrick to the depot, lb' went sally ami alone. He showed ii!) at t'ao depot a full half hour be fore train time, smoking a corn cob pipe and acting nervously. He didn't buy a ticket. Some kind friend had evidently purchased that for him during tin- afternoon. Once he sidled up to tho ticket agent agent and ask ed him if the train was on time. Ho seemed relieved when it steamed in to the stat:i >n. Nobody has any idea where Die trick vas g »ing. It has been common talk a.r.f ng members of the sporting fraternity, however, that his release from jail would ho followed speedily by ris disappearance from Spokane, and he has disappeared. Kimball Doesn't Care. Prosecuting Attorney Horace Kir n showed much reluctance to dis cuss the case yesterday afternoon when a Spokesman-Review reporter informed him that Dietrick had left town. The reporter persisted in talking about it. however, and finally Mr. Kimball -poke. "1 don't car;- whether he's gone or not. if that's what yours trying to! find ou:.' he declared. '"If he's gone the county is just $7:>o to the good. Mr. Kimball has told several of his friomls that he does not believe that Dietrick's confinement in the peniten tiary would serve any good purpose: that he was arrested merely to test the law: that the law has been held good, and that Dietrick's conviction will deter anyone else from violating it. Senator Will G. Graves, Dietrick's attorney, saiu last night that he did not know where his client was. "I haven't seen him." he said, ''for several days. Of course he has a right to go where he pleases while he is out on ball. Status of the Case Dietrick pleaded guilty to running a stu I poker game, and was sentenced by Judge Richardson to serve one year in the penitentiary. His attor neys, who are really attorneys for th e gamblers of the state, applied to the supreme court for a writ of habeas carpus on the ground that the law under which he was sentenced is un co;. stitutionaL This application brought the validity of the new law squarely, before the supreme court, which in a unanimous decision held the law was good. Several days ago Graves Graves, for Dietrich, filed a notice of appeal in the regular way. The decision of 'he supreme court has been in other eases that a prisoner does no: waive his right of appeal necessarily by pleading guilty.

PROFESSOR PIPER TO LEAVE PULLMAN W l| Ec Botanist for Agricultural De partment. Pullman. —C. V. Piper, professor of botany, zoology and entomology at the Washington Agricultural col lege, has resigned to take effect im mediately. Professor Piper has been in Washington, D. C. during the sum mer vacation, superintending the publication of a book on entomology of which he is the author, and which is being published by the government department of agriculture. His abil ity so impressed the head of the de partment that he was offered a posi tion of botanist, for the department. He has had the matter under consid eration for some time and finaally decided i,> accept and has tendered Ids resignation. He will leave for Washington. D. C. about September Professor Piper has been with the Washington Agricultural college longer than any other member of the faculty, having been appointed to the position he has resigned in 1802, elev en years ago. when George Lilleywas president of the college. He and George H. Watt, professor of phar macy, are the only two members ofi Lilley's corps of professors who 'nave remained with the school to the present time. Profes.-or Piper is a man of mark el ability and deep regret is felt here because of hi.- departure. The new position which he has accepted pays a much larger salary than the one he resigns. New Assistant Agros'iOiogist. Byron Hunter, a graduate of the Washington Agricultural college class of 1809, has been appointed as sistant agrostologist by W J. Spill man, head of the United States gov ernment department of agrostology. Mr. Spillman was here from Wash inton. D. C, this week and tendered the position to Mr. Hunter, who ac cepted it. Mr. Hunter will have headquarters at Pullman and his ter ritory wil liuclude the states of Washington. Oregon. Idaho, Mon tana and California. The position is one of importance and Mr. Hunter is being congratulated on hiis appoint ment. During the past two years Mr. Hunter has held the position of pro fessor of biology in the Idaho normal school at Lewiston. He has tender ed his resignation to that institution and will move his famil" to Pullman as soon as he can secure a home for them.

"MS x;ajg statesman, Monday, august 24, 1903. MES TO CHAM HIS RESIDENCE Congressman Likely to Move to Spo kane. Spokane—Congressman Wpsley L. Jones, of North Yakima is likely to become a permanent resident of Spo kane within the next few months. Several of Mr. Jones closest friends in Spokane are authority for the statement thai he seriously contem plates making his home in Spokane, and if he makes the change at all. it will be a reasonable time before next state campaign, when Mr. Jones will bo a candidate for a fourth term in congress. Removal of his residence has been in Mr. Jones' mind for two years or more, it is raid. About a year ago he had full concluded to make the change, and then something caused him to del;;. Now his closest politi cal friend;. alone in Spokane, but all over Ea. m Washington, are urging him t ::;ove here, and i: is said that hi i j once more giving the matter his earnest attention. Living in Yakima county. Mr. Jones is constantly threatened with the possibility that a Spokane man will give him a hard contest for hi? scat, and in such a contest Mr. Jones would be seriously handicapped. Yakima county has less than twenty votes to trade for him in a state con vention, while Spokane, in addition to being the largest county in East ern Washington, has forty-eight votes to trade for its candidate whenever it concludes to have a can didate. Already three Spokane men have been mentioned for congress, and each mention of them causes the hearts of Mr. Jones' friends to palpi tate. They are Alonzo Murphy, Sam uel R. Stern and .Miles Poindexter. Mr. Poindexter at least, is believed to be an actual aspirant, and -he other two are strong possibilities. SCORES SEE HIM DIE. Portland Bather Drowns in Surf Off Ocean Beach. Portland. Or». —William Kleoman of Portland was drowned at 11 o'clock Friday morning while surf bathing on the ocean beach at Nye creek, in full view of a thousand •spectators. The surf was light and the enjoyment or riding over the swells tempted the young man to venture out too far from shore. He soon became exhausted and cried for Ih lp, which was at once promptly re sponded to by two other bathers. They succeeded in reaching Kleeman and made a desperate effort to reach the shore, but the current seemed to set off shore and they could make little progress. They finally became exhausted from their exertion and were compelled to give up their task to save their own lives. In the mean time, others rushed to the bath house for life preservers ami lines, several pieces of rope were found oned an.l fastened togeteher. It was not long enough, however, and to lengthen the line the bathers joined hands and formed a human life line extending into the surf, but even this proved about 30 feet too short to reach the doomed man. The drown ing was witnessed by the mother and sister of the unfortunate young man. Singleton.—Hello. Doubledayl You twins look so much alike I never can tell you apart. Who are you. your self or your brother? Doubleday— Neither. I am my brother's brother. OT HITCHCOCK Ui\DER FIRE Said That He May Bs Implicated in the Indian Territory Land Scandal. Washington, Aug. 24. —There is a i.rong movement under way to sc are from President Roosevelt an cr ier that will make the investigation nto the Indian territory land scandal md the alleged complicity of promi nent United States officials abso 'ntely untrammeled and impartial. The significance o,f this arises from :he fact that many friends of Mr. iitchcock are involved in the scan laL A number of the secetary's ofiivi ij acts have pointed out to the pres ident which lead to a want of confi ience among those who are urging the inquiry, in the secretary's abili ty to conduct an impartial investiga ion. To cite but one of a number of cases on which this view is based, i'ormal charges have been made tc the president that large sums ol money realize.! from sales cf towr ois in several thriving young cities n Oklahoma, instead of being ex pended for public uses, as was pro rided by act of congress, have been leposued in St. Louis banks in which Mr. Hitchvock's friends are i'nterest d as s[ockholders. The secreary is i St. Louis man. The citizens of a number of Okla homa towns have appealed to Secre ary Hitchcock to ase these funds for installing waterworks in their respec Lire towns, etc.. but they have appeal ed to him in vain. The only substan tial reason Mr. Hitchcock advances for withholding these funds from their proper use for iniprovements in the towns is 'there is a crowd o\ looters*' down there who would steal the money if taken out of the banks. DON'T MORTGAGE YOUR PROSPECTc Senator Hil; Says Financial Trouble Surely Will Follow Such a Transaction. Olcott Beach. X. V.—At the annual picnic of the XiagaYa County Pioneers' association 20,000 persons gave a re ception to David JtVHill, Senator Hill said: ".Mob violence, is not rendered lesf objectionable, even it' it is true, as frequently asserted, that unless it shall interpose its strong arm tb< guilty may esctpe punishment through a lax administration of the criminal law or indifference to its en forcement on the part of the people theme es. The very excuse offeree' is a reflection on the community itself where Lhe crime has been committed, and the remedy lies not in the peoph themslves overriling the law, but in the people upholding and enforcing the law and in appeal to their patriot ism, their good sense, their innate love of justice and respect 'or order qualities which are seldom, if ever, in voked in vain. We cannot permit this government to be come a mobocracy whic-«i acts upon impulse, feels no re straint and recognizes no appeal from its hasty prejudgment. "Crimes which can only he punish ed by only such irresponsible tribu nals as mobs might as well not be punished at all, because in the end the remedy will found to be worse than the disease." Mortgaging the Future. Mr. Hill discussed "fictitious vs. real prosperity" as follows: "There is a chorus of assertion, constantly reiterated, that the coun try at the present time is enjoying a period of much prosperity. Yet there are grave reasons fur doubting the en tire correstness of the statement. It is conceded thai, many public works are in progress of construction and many important enterprises are in process of development, hut the fact must he borne in -mind that most of Jicse schemes are being floated on borrowed capital, and the future is being largely mortgaged, .and tiiat profits to hereafter accrue and divi dends to be hereafter declared are al ready being antiipated. and there is no adherence to the good old-fashion ed and safe doctrine of paying as you go. The country has been sur feited with the issue of various stocks and bonds which have been palmed off upon a confiding public under the promise of profits, never earned and not likely to be earned, until a finan cial reaction has set in which has dis turbed public confidence, inaugurated a falling m arket, and, temporarily at least, even if not for some time to come, prevented Safe fianancial in vestments; and the end is not yet. When the prices of the necessaries of life are unreasonably enhanced so that it practically costs a man all he earns to live comfortably, there is no opportunity afforded for the accumu lation of fair competence. Xormai conditions are better for the people as a whole than those flourishing times which are soon followed by pe riods of business reverses. As an un due exhilaration is usually followed by depression of spirits, so in affairs of business, commercial stagnation is generally preceded by excessive expansion. DRAFT ONLY TEMPORARY BILL.

TWO BIG MEETINGS Evangelist Barrett Spoke to Large Audience. LARGEST EVER IN WALLA WALLA Applied Sermon of Last Night to Conditions Locally, and Touched On Amusement Places. Evangelist Barrett yesterday, preached to two of the largest con gregations ever gathered in Walla Walla. Services held in the moan ing at the Methodist Episcopal church packed the edifice to overflowing, it being necessary to utilize the lecture room to accomodate the large audi ence. Much interest was shown in the meeting which did not come to a close until 1:30 o'clock in the af ternoon. Rev. Barrett took as his subject '"Baptism With the Holy Ghost." The audience which gathered at the big tent in Howard street in the evening, was by far the largest ret in attendance during the revival, and was estimated at 1500 people. Several hundred who could not se ure seats, crowded around the tent, such was the interest. Rev. Barrett took as his evening subject "A Fool of a Woman." The fool woman as the evangelist demonstrate! it proved to be Lot's wife, and from this fact several les sons were drawn. She had special relig ious privileges, being married to the only religious man in Sodom. At that point the evangelist gave a viv id description of what he presumed the life of such a one in Walla Walla would be in 1903. Reference was made to several of Walla Walla's places of amusement showing that the evangelist has not overlooked the fact that Walla Wal la is much the same in some respects as many other cities he has labored in. Lot's wife he said had been warned of God and God"» will. She was al most saved but perfshed. She went wk.i her husband and daughters and the angels of God until she came to that place where she saw that to be saved with them meant to leave her beloved Sodom and its pleasures. She perished in the very act of sin and she neither got Sodom nor safe ly. Many people choose worldliness today in preference to heaven and get-neither one.
