McClel lan—Convention Will Meet Tonight. New York, Oct. I.—The Tammany city nominating convention in Carne gie hall this evening promises to be an animated affair though th e results of the convention may be said to be a foregone conclusion. Despite the protests of Hugh McLaughlin and the Kings county democrats it appears to be a certainty that the slate fixed up by Tammany Hall will go through without a scratch. The nomination of Congressman George B. McClellan for the mayoralty is insisted upon by mocracy will have to be content with Leader Murphy, and the Brooklyn de having a finger only in the naming of one of the minor candidates on the ticket. Bird S. Coler is slated for the controliership, though his opponents are making the most of the charges against him in connection with his management of the affairs of the Guardian Trust company. These charges, which Coler denot: ices as ar attack for political purposes, may nevertheless militate against his chances of nomination. The resolutions are expected to make the most of the successful fight waged by Tammany against Devery and his crowd, which fact will be cit ed as an evidence of the good inten tions of the democracy to give the city a ciean and honest government. Police corruption and blackmail will be vigorously denounced, and thi plank of the platform will be made unusually strong in order to withstand the attacks which are sure to be made along this line by the supporters of Mayor Low and the fusion ticket. Another point that will be brought out in the resolutions is the lack of ade quate school accommodations, which inadequacy will be laid at the door of the Low administration.

Green and Beavers were indicted several weeks ago. Beavers for conspiracy to commit a crime against the govern ment i"n the purchase of time checks. The indictment today is based on facts brought out by the former in dictments in connection with the same case. MORGAN ON CANAL Questions the Right Of the President.

I.—Senator Morgan in an interview today declar ed that any attempt by President Roosevelt to reopen negotiations with Panama will be an evasion of the Spooner law and an inexcusable breach of faith toward the men who vcled for it.

It Will B e Distributed to Farmers by Holdover Congressmen. Washington.—"The Horse Book," unquestionably the most popular gov ernmei't document ever published, is about to again make its appearance, revised and enlarged, and within a few weeks a new edition, consisting of 200,000 volume s, will tie turned out by the government printing office. Every farmer apparently wants a copy of the "Horse Hook" technically known as the "Special Report on Dis eases of the Horse." Tin's document was originally com piled more than ten years ago. and m) great was its popularity that the firsr edition was soon exhausted. Re print after reprint has been authoriz ed, and each in turn quickly exhaust ed. The new edition, which will be placed at the disposal of senators and representatives, will be more thor ough and modern than those that have gone before, and will contain information that has been gleaned by experts sinc c previous editions went to press. Members anTl senators who enter congress for the first time next No vember are not credited with any of these documents: it is only members of the Fifty-seventh congress who are re-elected who will be supplied. The report is too well known to need description, but the announce ment that the edition is aliout ready for disributicn has b issue an invitation to the railroad presidents to meet in Pullman and of fering the hospitality of the city and tii£ free use of the opera house, the largest in Whitman county, for the oc- It is reported that when in Spo kane on his last trip to Washington.

Cotton, repre senting the state agricultural college lias arriv* d here from the Mt. Adams district in the southwestern part of Yakima county. He went to Cedar valley last July in answer to numer ous requests addressed to the state college from farmers of that district asking quesiens of what can he suc cessfully grown there. There are but few settlers in the district and farm ing has been carried on for some years by a few hardy pioneers. Some of them "nave made a success of it. Mr. Cotton paid a visit to all the farmers and went over the valley thoroughly. He came, to the conclu sion that the only way to find out what can lie raised there is for some one to try P. He gave the advice to I the questioning ones to follow those j wh have already made a success. He! went to the foot of Mt. Adams in the vicinity of the Parrott place and Glen wood and followed up the Klicki tat river. He said that the county had been overgrazed both by sheep and cattle, and his remedy for this would be to prevent grazing for a few years to allow the land to become reseeded. This could be accomplished j in about five years. He found that the cayuse was hauler on the bunch grass than any other animal. The cayuse, when it grazes, pulls up the roots of the grass. grassing the denude.} hills of Central Washington, but so far his experi ments have not been very fruitful. He has an experimental farm on the top of the Rattlesnake hills in this coun ty, and while he has found out that it is possible to regrass the hills that have been over-grazed, his experr ments have not been very satisfactory owing to conditions being against him. At an elevation of over 5000 feet on the Wenatohro mountain, he seeded 640 acres of land last spring. He got a report from this today which was to the effect that the grass is doing fine.

Salen. chair man cf the Ohio state democratic committee, has made the following reply to Chairman Dick's letter of last night, sent from Columbus, in which the latter refused to arrange a joint debate between Senator Haii na and John H. Clarke. "Dear Sir: Your two-column letter discussing every phase of politics from the Penobscot to the Rio Grande, and concluding with the assertion tiiat there is nothing to discuss, is noted in the public print. Unless you have exhausted the subject yourself in your article, your candidate might find something to discuss of a polit ical nature at the present time. But for your a:^ r rtio:i of your own candor. 1 would be inclined to doubt your sin cerity. "The paramount issue of the sena torship contest in this campaign is the public record of Senator M. A. Hanna. and his unfitness by reason thereof to he returned to the United States senate. If you are not aware that John H. Clarke has attacked his public record and joined ~ue with die present senator upon his record, first in fathering the ship subsidy hill, which seeks to take from the peoples' treasury $10,000,000 annually and put it into the treasury of the Steamship companies: second. in forcing through the legislature the re actionary and expensive municipal code, which denies home rule to the cities of the state; and third, in using his official position to secure for him* self and associates franchise privi leges to the injury of the people, you can get this information by inquiring of Senator Hanna himself. "He is on record as saying that his public record has been outrageously attacked, and that when he goes upon the platform he will have something to say about it. I have asked you o arrange that Mr. Clarke may he pres ent when he says it. You decline for reasons that would be readily guessed if you did not assert that candor com pels you to give the real reason for declining a joint discussion. "M. A. Hanna knows that the above issue as to the merits of these meas ures which he has championed are closely joined, perhaps too closely joined, for joint discussion. I trust, after advising wdth him. you will be come informed as to the situation and accept our challenge. "I close reminding you that it is not Senator Bailey's 'free wool' in Texas which interests the people of Ohio, but the wool which I fear you are trying to pull over the eyes of the people.

Davidson, who lias been agent for the Kerr-Gifford Grain company here this year, and Mrs. Mountz, wife of Edward Mountz, a local harness maker, are missing and have been gene several days.

Davidson's accounts are said to be straight. Row in the Warehouse. The affair which has caused such a sensation here is the culmination of an intimacy which had caused some talk here, and when Mrs. Mountz was employed by Davidson as book keeper gossip became public and reached the ears of Mountz, who walked into the warehouse one eve ning recently and the row. mentioned above, followed. It is not known what Mountz saw that aroused his ire, hut Mrs. Mountz left the next morn ing and Davidson went to Colfax, where he told Harry Schlaefer, Kerr- Gifford's general agent, something of the trouble and resigned as manager. He returned to Endicott with Schlae fer to check over the accounts, hut carried a loaded revolver, as he ex pressed fear that Mountz would try to kill him. The accounts were found to be all right and Schlaefer returned to Colfax. Davidson intended to ac company him, but was persuaded by his wife to remain at Endicott. but the next day went to Colfax and dis appeared from there. Failed to Meet His Wife. Davidson had promised to meet his wife in Colfax Saturday, but failed to do so. Mrs. Davidson went to Colfax but could find no trace of her hus band. Eater she received a letter from him in which he is said to have sent her $400 and bills of sale for their personal property and told her he will not return and hade her goodby. Mrs. Davidson returned to Endicott heartbroken over th c affair. She is a woman of refinement and highly respected. Her father is one of the best known ranchers of Whit man county. Public sympathy is with .Mrs. Davidson. Davidson Fond of Fair Sex. E. Mount/, and wife have lived here many years. They have been married more than IT, years and apparently lived happily until recently. Mrs. Mountz is a good looking woman of about 35 years and has always borne a splendid reputation. Davidson has had the name of being fond of the fair sex and there has been much talk about his conduct with women during the past two years. He is a large man, weighing about 240 pounds and is rather good looking. He has been engaged in the grain business in Whitman county for several years. When last seen Davidson was ap parently in mortal dread lest Mountz would carry out his threat to shoot him. The affair is the chief topic of conversation here and has caused the greatest sensation Endicott has ever known. WASHINGTON, D. C. REPORT. Washington. D. C, Oct.

HOLD ON TO CITY'S RIGHTS. The owners of the Thomas land want the city either to buy half or all the ranch at a fancy price or else abandon its ten thousand dollar right to all the subterranean water on the farm. Hither plan will mean a tew thousand dollars more in the pockets of the owners of the ranch. The peo ple stil] have their own opinion as to who is the real owner of the ranch and of the wires tiiat are being pull ed to induce the city to accept a solu tion of the water problem that will be satisfactory to certain selfish in terests. Notwithstanding the report of Hy draulic Engineer Weile made after taking a bird's eye view of the Mill creek landscape, that the only avail able source of supply for a gravity system is the creek, men of sound judgment still believe that there is abundance of water beneath the sur face ":i the Thomas ranch and in that vicinity to supplj ity of ten The present population of Walla Walla. Any scheme that proposes the aban donment of the city's rights at Thomas springs will be overwhelm ingly defeated by the people. WILL DO US NO GOOD. Some short-sighted republican pa pers are rejoicing because there is a possibility that some time in the future Great Britain under the lead ership f Joseph Chamberlain may abandon free trade, l: will he a sorry day for the high tariff policy of the United States when Chamberlain's scheme shall prevail. Probably nine tenths of the surplus grain crop of the United States is shipped to Great Britain, to say nothing of millions of dollars worth of other agricultural products. Whenever Great Britain shall lay discriminatory tariff duties against American farm products in favor of her colonies, this great for eign market will be to a large extent cut off. The result will be a glutting j of tin- home market and low prices for what the American farmer lias to' sell. The farmers of [he country will soon learn what hurts them and they will unite in a demand for reciprocal trade relations with Great Britain and other foreign countries. That will tariff and its final reduction to a rev enue basis- High protection may work very ad ing it until other nations play the same game. Then nobody gains any thing by it. High protection provok-s retaliation by foreign nations. The only relief is through mutual conces sions made under reciprocity treaties. It England should adopt our high tariff policy, America will see the hardest times in her history before her trade relations are so adjusted as to roster? the markets lost through this retalinto-y precram.

Byrne would like to run on a pro-railroad platform against Govern or Mcßride as the railway commission candidate. If Byrne had any poll pie counter with the avidity of old veterans. In fact some of them have manifested such fiery zeal in their new faith that they have been almost immediately rewarded with fat jobs and they are now con gratulating themselves on their wis dom a'nl thrift. It must he said that the course of these pseudo democrats was more commendable than is that of mem bers of the party who adhere to the organization only to urge the party to abandon its cherished principles and espouse any old thing that prom ises to capture the offices. Ex-Mayor Byrne as the democratic railroad candidate against such a valiant champion of the people's cause as Governor Mcßride would be the worst beaten man in the history of the state. This is no time for democrats to he talking of expediency. Better defeat with honor than vic tory with dishonor. SMART ALECK ANSWER. It is the sure mark of the pettifog ger to begin a specious plea with the words "in all candor.'* says the Ore gonian. This is what Chairman Dick does in his answer to the John IT. Clarke challenge for a joint debate with Senator Hanna. It is clear enough now. as was suspected from the first, that Hanna never had the slightest thought of meeting Clarke in joint debate. What his equivocal course meant was simply that he wanted to draw Clarke out and then have Chairman Dick swat him with a Smart-Aleck letter with which the democratic candidate would be wiped off the earth. The '.otter is cut, and suade those who are already persuad ed, but it ran only repel the fair mind. Chairman Dick uncovers tho differ- I ences in the democratic party with the frisky air which indicates thd hypothesis that in the republican ranks all is harmony. The truth is that republicans arc divided precisely as rho democrats are: and even If they were not, it would he rather to Mr. Dick's Idea of politics that every man in a party should take his ideas from the central body of the organiza tion and entertain no others. This is the intellectual foundation and framework of the Ohio school. This is why there is so little ferment in political thought in Ohio, synchron ous with perpetual war between fac tions. The intellectual convictions of Hanna and Foraker never clash. Their views are cast in the same mold. It is only their ambitions that get at cross purposes. This is not. THE EVENING STATESMAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1903. as Mr. Dick seems to think, a mark of mental superiority; it is rather the stamp of craven minds, knowing poi icy only and never truth. Take the country over, and .Mr. Clarke, if he has the dexterity, can Snd in republican differences a paral lel for every democratic embarrass ment which Mr. Dick so jauntily ex ploits. He may for example, ask whether Hanna belongs with tariff revisionists like Babcock and Cum mins, or with standpatters like Aid rich and Payne. Does he favor Cuban reciprocity, with Roosevelt, or *tand with the "insurgents" against it? Does he go the limit of "imperialism" with Root, or shout for "consent of the governed" with Hoar? Is he for gold with Lodge or silver with Carter and Wolcott? Will h e say with Sec retary Root that the war amendments are a failure, or support the Pa\ne proposal to enforce them to the letter on the Southern representation in congress? It will be a sad day for the republi can party when it is brought wholly under the dominion of the Ohio idea of intellectual abasement before the party whip; when independent thought and utterance within its tanks is accounted a crime, and pre ferment is the reward solely of them who believe only those things which are ladled out to them from th e ma chine of the boss. This is not yet the forlorn lot of either party, and perhaps there is this much truth in Mr. Dick's indictment; that individual freedom is greater in the democratic party than in the republican camp. It has always been a debatable prob lem whether as many republicans would have bolted McKinley as dem ocrats bolted Bryan if the position of the parties on the money question in 189G had been reversed. •"What is the habit?" i's a common query now among the crowds that at tend the Fruit Fair.

Sunnyside, Oct 1. —This locality is discussing the sugar beet proposition. A beet sugar factory is assured for Prosser, and incidentally a railroad tor the Sunnyside district, on the condition that the farmers will con tract to grow 4500 acres of sugar Deets tor a period of five years at the price of $4.50 per ton. The Sunnyside farmers are anxious for a railroad, bnt until recently did not take kindly to the idea of raising sugar beets. They would only consent to grow them on a small scale for the purpose of secu ring what they regarded the greater benefit, a railroad. Recently, however the situation has changed. A committee of farm ers—V,'. Tl. Norman. William Stahlhut and D. B. Fly—went over to La- Grande, Ore., for the purpose of in vestigating the conditions affecting the sugar beet industry in the Grand Ronde valley. TTiey have returned with a favorable report, showing that the farmers there are making from $65 to $70 per acre net from growing sugar beets. This far exceeds the net returns from alfalfa, the principal money-making crop of this valley. Since the report of this committee the farmers have been rapidly sign ing up sugar beet contracts proposing to raise beets for the profits there is in it. Over 200 i acres have been sub scribed already in the immediate vi cinity of this town, out of 3000 acres apportioned to the entire Sunnyside country. The territory yet to be can vassed comprises a large portion of the valley, and no doubt is now; felt that the entire acreage required will be subscribed within the next few days. NEA BISHOPS FOR NORTHWEST. Winnipeg. Man., Oct. 1. —Clergy and lay members to a total of sever al hundred were present today at the opening of the synodica] meeting of the Church of England diocese of Rn nert's Land. More than usual interest attaches to the present meeting of the synod for the reason that the rapidly increasing population of the territory covered by the synod has increased the needs of the church in like propor tion. To provide for these the meeting will elect a coadjutor bishop for Rupert's Land and a bishop for the uiocese of Saskatchewan, which heretofore has been presided over by Bishop Pinkham of Calgary. The work in the territories has now grown to such an extent that it is ne cessary to divide the two districts. MEXICAN RAILROADS UNITED. City of .Mexico. Oct.

Indianapolis, Ind. —President Lynch of the Internationa! Typographical union in the next issue of the organ of the union will reply to charges that the oath subscribed by the members of the union is antagonistic and made paramount to religious obligations. It is asserted the agitation was begun by the Roman Catholic clergy. Presi dent Lynch will say: "We do maintain that we shall be allowed to conduct our trade union business without interference from politics or religion, fraternity or com bination. On the other hand, we do not interefere with the political or religious beliefs of any of our mem bers. These beliefs are sacred to rhe individual, and he is and always has been at liberty, so far as th e union is concerned, to follow his bent in the selection of religious, political and fraternal organizations. Or he may abstain from participation in them al together. It is immaterial to the un ion. The union has its field, and it purposes to confine itself to that field. From the persistence with which cer tain newspapers have exploited the attack made on our obligation by sev eral clergymen the belief is forced that these papers would not suffer great grief should the International Typographical union go ashore on the religious and political rocks. But it is not doubted that the good com mon sense of our membership will keep the union in safe waters, and permit the attack that has been made by those who may have been well meaning and afterward used as a newspaper sensation die of inanition. And that is evidently just what is happening." THREE BROTHERS ELECTROCUTED At New York Prison This Morning for Murder of Uncle—Fifteen Minutes for All. Dannemora, N. V..

MAUDE ORIJFFIIV.

•••••••••••••••Aft New York, Sept. 26. —Nature does not make a hap, but fashion does sometimes. The autumn season will afford a most striking proof of this axiom. The frills, flounces and full waists and skirts that have charact erized the modes of the past few years inns: give way to severe but ar tistic simplicity—a vogue that will prove most trying to those who are not blessed with attractive forms. Th, prevailing expression in smart gowns is a following closely of the contour of the figure so that the ang ular, unattractive sisterhood will nave greater need than ever of the art and appointments of the modistes. From the smallest accessories of season's modes are prevaded with an air 01 irresistible novelty. For the tailor-made costume the close fitting coat with its "hug-me-tighf skirt is trie approved design. Instead of the long, pointed train, skirts are finish ed with a graceful round outline that will be much affected. The greatest fulness in fall gowns will he in the sleeves and this shows a tendency to creep above the elbow. The bishop effect, however, is the ul tra-smart pattern for the long, close fitting coats. While the mixed goods and rough tweeds win be very chic, there can be found some very chic dresses in sat in-faced goods. The perforated Cloths of a few seasons ago have been revived and are used to excellent ad vantages in ultra-smart street and house dresses. Strikingly original is a design in damson blue ladies cloth. which fits without fulness over the hips, has an empiecement of perfora tion and embroidery with delicate lines of embroidery joining this to elaborate, deep points of perforation on the bottom of the skirt. The bodice, half covered by a sort I )t double pelerine of perforated cloth md embroidery, shows little fulness it the front, yet enough, however, 10 prevent a perfectly straight outline. Fhe pelerine is different in shape rom tiiese which have been worn so much; it is narrow over the should ers, the lower edge reaching less than lalf way to the elbows; at the front it falls in two loose points over the bust continuing at the back in a single leep point to the waistline, where it is attached to the belt with a large pansamenerie ornament. That more attention is paid to the sleeve this year than ever is empha sized in this model. The sleeves are unusually large and gathered into big ruffled cuffs, edged with zibeline. They are made entirely of the perforated cloth with incisions up the inside of the arm to show a panel of black Chantilly, loosely plained over gaug ed chiffon. The neck is charmingly furnished with a choker of fur fasten ing with a cluster of tails and scarf of Chantilly. The autumn counterpart of voile is a maierial much the same, but a trifle heavier with a slightly ruffled surface. It is extremely pliable there fore adapted to the prevailing outlines of slenderness and grace. Unless bought in. the expensive quality it is not a success for it stretches in the most unlovely manner. A visiting toilette in dark leaf brown is devel oped in this fabric. Both bodice and skirt are plentifully trimmed with heavy dyed brown lave. The skirt has a graduated box plait down the centre of the front with flowered me dallions placed in th e middle all the way down to the hem. Over the hips are tiny tucks to effect a perfect fit. while around the bottom, making the skirt flare very much from the box plaits, are rows ar rows of inch wide tucks reaching almost to the knees. Above the tucks the lace is THS EVENING STATESMAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1. 1?03. appliqued, sloping upward toward the hack. The bodice blouses very much over a narrow belt of brown panne that comes to a point in front. The cen-re box-plait idea shown in the skirt is repeated here, with the lace ap plique in the middle. The lace is also draped over the shoulder in low effect and forms a sort of box plait over the sleeves finished with tiny 'laps edged with a narrow applique of cream lace. The back is tucked over a snug fitting lining. The sleeves are plaited with just one flower design of applique lace down the centre; this comes to the elbow and hangs down. From elbow to wrist they are formed of plisse muslin with applique design over them, an odd combination, but one which accomplishes a beautiful ensemble which after al! is the chief desireratum. Though furs are preferable always, many of the smart winter coats will be developed in cloths and heavy silk. White promises to maintain its hold on popular favor for both wraps and gowns. A charming model, effective alike in dark or light cloth curves al most snugly into the figure at the back and though rather full at the front, the coa is confined with a belt of white kid. Double panels of the cloth are stitched across the should ers an-' draped in yoke effect to the bust line from whence they narrow in to stole ends falling to the edg e of the coat. Appliqued upon the panels are medallions of heavy guipure. Th e medallions fall over the sleeves at the shoulders and are heightened in effect by having the design cut out with narrow black and white silk cords. Homespuns will be so fashionable this year that there is a great proba bility of their being widely imitated. An importer for one of the fashionable establishments, however, is authority for one simple rule in disinguishing j the real from th e imitation and that |is that genuine homespuns never come double-width. They are made in the i mountainous region of northwestern Ireland from the famous wools c-f j those parts and by peasants whose i looms could not possibly produce the j extra-wide homespuns sold in most shops. No material is more in demand for autumn walking suits then is home spun. A natty costume has the se verely stitched close fitting coat, buttoning from throat almost to knee. The skirt is quite plain just clearing the ground and flaring over the feet with each seam strapped down to the bottom. There are countless novelties fa the small belongings of dress. But tons are among the most important, though another trimming that is ex tremely chic is black embroidery on white, provided the contrasts are not too startling. The new buttons come in sets for the front of the waist, cuffs and front and back of the stock. They are made of almost every imaginable material, but carved natural wood and gun metai are in greater demand, with dull silver, smoked pearl and aluminum coming next. The wood designs are expensive as many come from tr.o far East; but Lh's is true of almost everything fashionable. There is no such thing as economy. The business of the counturier is too thoroughly established and too jeal ous of its rights to yield one jot of its revenues to changes in the fashions which it itself directs, hence the greater elegance with simpler de signs. Veils are prettiest when made of chiffon sprinkled in flowered design with chenille or scattered with petit pois of crepe ribbon. The convention al hemstitched veil is to be replaced by one finished with two narrow bands of ribbon of contracting shade joined by feather stitching or fagot ing in threads matching the ground work of the veil proper. The shirt waists of autumn differ from these of summer mainly in that they are made simpler out of courtesy to the fall wraps. Heavy wash fab rics will be used for smart waists du ring the entire winter season. There is no rule prohibiting the use of trimming, however, and the various forms of stitchings can be used on linen, madras and chambray models las during the summer.

WOOD IS HELD To Grand Jury for Pen sioii Frauds nis cowinioi is probable He Used His Position as Commander of the Indian War Veterans to Fleece Comrades. Portland, Ore. —Thomas A. Wood, grand commander of the Indian War Veterans of Oregon, and against whom a charge of fraudulent practice in getting a pension is pending in the United States district court, Tuesday morning appeared before. United States Commissioner J. A. Sladen and waived preliminary examination. He was held under a bond of $1000 to appear before the federal grand jury, which will be convened next month. As sureties for Commander Wood appeared the United States Fi delity Guaranty company, which assures the district attorney that Mr. Wood will be on hand when the grand jury calls for him to explain. In waiving preliminary examinaion the accused man made the remark that there was no use in having ihe case tried twice, and that he was will ing o have the matter come directly before the-grand jury. Wood was placed under arrest Sep tember 22, by United States Deputy Marshal Proebstel on charges prefer red by Special Pension Examiner W. A. Pless, of alleged crookedness in handling pension claims for Mrs. Ro sa B. Richards, Anna M. McCoy and Mary Prather. In the case of Rosa B. Richards, Wood is accused of pro curing a false affidavit in having Bra zil Grounds witness Mrs. Richards' signature when it is claimed that Grounds was not present and did not witness the signature. Further, in the application of Mrs. McCoy, ft is charged that Wood, made it apjjear that Rush Mendenhall swore to the contents of a blank form, when, in fact, he did not do so. and in the William Jones T.7.°w.,,. >fcfc£ j££ GRAIN highest market price J.

Neilson. awarded the cus tody of two minor children and prop erty valued at $1000 in the city of Waitsburg. According to the allega tions of Mrs. Neilson she was the vic tim of a scurvy trick played by her husband. In January, 1901, while the family was living at Waitsburg Neil son prevailed upon his wife to sign a deed for the sale of their farm, pre tending that he wished to buy anoth er one. One day he left home for the farm jhe had selected, but instead lie took the train for Spokane, where he wrote his wife that she could have everything left and departed next day for tht Fatherland. Since then he iias contrib lU 1 nothing toward the support of his wife or children. He is now said to be living with another woman in British Columbia. Mrs. Neilson is a hard working woman, supporting herself and children by doing domestic work. She was mar ried to Neilson at Dayton in 1894. Chris Hillbrick, who was arraign ed befor t Judge Brents yesterday on a charge of arson, entered a plea of not guilty this morning. George Fifield, charged with burglary, was ar raigned this morning and also plead not guilty. A demurrer to the infor mation filed by Flfield's attorneys. Blocks and Bartlett, was overruled. The demurrer was entered on the grounds that the information did not conform to the requirements of the codes and laws of the state and also that more than one crime was charged.

YEAR'S WHEAT CROP Washington Leads Among the Northwest States. WALLA WALLA RA T [S WITH ADAMS Editor Peterson cf Commercial Re view Completes Tour of Wheat Belt and Gives Out Figures Editor Leo Petersen, of t he Com merciai Review, published at Port land, has just returned home after a tear cf the wheat raising belts of rcgon, Washington and Idaho and this week In his journal estimates the •vheat crop of these three states for 1903. Washington leads with a total of j 15,025,000 bushels; Oregon second with 10,580,000 bushels and Idaho third with 3,650,000 bushels. In Wash ington segregated into counties. Whitman leads with 5,500,000 bush els; Lincoln second with 4,000,000 bushels and Walla Walla and Adams county tie for third place with 1,750,- --000 bushels each. The yield of other counties is given as follows: Klicki tat and Spokane, each 800,000; Doug las, 750,000; Franklin and Garfield, 600,000 each; Yakima, Asotin and Columbia each 300.000; Kittitas 275,- --ooe and other counties 300,000. The total crop of the three s:ates foots up 32,255,000 bushels. The' carry-over wheat, Mr. Peterson esti mates, amounts to 2,021,381 bushels, making a grand total of 34,276,384 bushels. From this he deducts for home consumption 6,500,000 bushels and for seed. 3,500,000, a total of 10,- --000,000, leaving available for export and wheat 24,27*1.381 bushels. Th e Wheat Market. As buyers and sellers are still wide apart, the local market is dull and stagnant. In Bonce instances dealers say they are not prepared to make quotations. The ruling price, however is in the neighborhood of 63 to 64 for club and 67 to 68 for blue stem. Editor Peterson this week sums up the situation as follows: Wheat lower market dull. Export ers only pur' Vise at prices quoted, sales are mad. daily by farmers, who are realizing that prices offered are full market values. The shipping in terests have no p' essing wants to fill, as very few ships have been charter ed so far this setson, and the few on berth here and at Tacoma have their grain waiting for them. Millers are practically out of the market and are only buying when price is satisfac tory. Most of them have plenty of wheat to carry them through to fill all the orders they have on hand. The reports coming from the country say that there is a deadlock between buyers and sellers. This is not borne out. as sales are made daily. Fully one third of the crop has passed out of the growers' hands, and what re mains unsold after deducting for seed and home consumption will not cover one-half of the crop raised. As to prices it is very doubtful whether we shall see the high prices paid again this season. Europe is not very anxious to buy any of our cargoes at prices we ask, and when wheat gets down to an export basis we will be able to transact business for foreign account. The export demand so far this season is the smallest in the history of the trade. At this time of the year the harbors are full with ves sels loading. The cause of this is that Europe can purchase plenty of cheap wheat without coming to the coast for high price grades. Special sale of a lovely line of street hats Wednesday to Saturday inclusive.

LIKE A HUGE SPONGE Mill Creek Valley Compared by Engineer Storrow. U IS CHOCK FULL Of WATER Engineer Pointed Ovt to Water Com mittee Lsst Night That City Can Obtain Water Beneath Ground. Samuel Storrow, consulting civil and hydraulic engineer for the North western Gas and Electric company, who is in the city at present assitting in the reconstruction of the company's plant, met with the water committee ofythe council last night and. voluntar ily gave that body some excellent ad vice regarding the future water sup ply of Walla Walla. Mr. Storrow is probably one of the most eminent civil and hydraulic engineers in the West and his remarks which covered every point of view*in regard to the water situation, were eagerly listened to. Without making an actual survey and test Mr. Storrow advanced the opinion that the valley drained by Mill creek is similar to one huge sponge, simply full of water, to get which, the city only has to sink wells or car ry development work similar to that employed on the Thomas ranch to a depth which will insure an ample supply. That only a very small per cent of the water drained into the Mill creek basin each year flows down that stream he said was apparent, as the same condition exists in hundreds of other places. To ascertain trie depth of flow he said the city should sink a number of wells at likely points selected and measure the vol ume as depth reached. The man ner cf raising the water was discre tionary with the city but he intimated that his company was ready to furnish electric power at rates that would make its use cheaper than any other power that could be secured. He spoke in the highest terms of Engi neer Kiersted who made a report to the city council on the water ques- The Pinnacle of Success Ay Has been reached in our superb col- I lection of Fall and apparel for —'>j Mf men in this part of the country have 1^ I 7 lons ~een customers of ours?

As to the ideas advanced by Engi neer Weile, who filed his report with the council last week Mr. Storrow was clearly a, variance, pointing out to the committee that to obtain a clear, pure supply from the stream would be utter impossibility and fur ther that to clear up the mass of law suits that would undoubtedly be start d by riparian owners would be an endless and expensive job. An effort will probably be made to induce Engineer Storrow to meet with the entire council at some future .hue.
