GOTHAM'S NEW BRIDGE Formally Dedicated for Use Today. APPROPRIATE CEREMONIES HELD New Bridge Surpasses the Old Brook lyn Bridge and Relieves Con gested Traffic, XEW YORK, Dee. 19.— Big ships and little ships, tugboats and rowboatsj naphtha launches and Bteam launches, and scows and craft every conceiv able size and description swarmed in the East river opposite the Brooklyn; navy yard today and screeched their whistles and fired their guns to ap prise all within hearing thai the new Williamsburg bridge, after an expendi ture of $20,000,006 and eight years of toil, was at last an accomplished fact. It was a day of jubilation for Xew York in general and tor Williamsburg in partio! «r, for to tiie people of the last eetion of the metropolis the completion of the new bridge means freedom from the dangerous crush they have been obliged to contend with for years in crossing the old Brooklyn bridge. The ceremonies attending the formal opening were simple but im pressive. The chief officials of the city, together with representatives of the federal government, army and na val officers, distinguished engineers and other invited guests, assembled in the c entre of the gigantic span across the river and listened to orations ap propriate to the occasion delivered by Mayor Low. Bridge Commissioner Lln~ denthal and Borough President Cantor and Swanstorm. Commissioner Linden thai made the opening a.ddress formal ly turning the bridge over to the city. The speech of acceptance was deliv ered by Mayor Low and was the chief feature of the ceremonies. The eom yletion of the exercises was marked by the booming of cannon and the un furling of Hags throughout the great length of the structure. The general public were not per mitted to cross the bridge today and thus was avoided the possibility of a crush such as was witnessed at the opening of the Brooklyn bridge and which resulted in the deaths of more than a score of persons. But one road way of the new bridge is entirely com pleted and this will probably be opened to traffic tomorrow or Monday. It is expected that the other roadway and the paths for pedestrians will be ready within a few weeks. In general appearances the new bridge seems much more massive than the old Brooklyn bridge, but at the same time it is much less graceful. In length, width, height and the number of its promenades and trolley tracks the new structure surpasses the old. The Manhattan terminal of the new structure is at Pc Lancey street, while the Williamsburg end is at South Fifth street. In the construction of these great terminals and approaches wnoie blocks of buildings were razed. The length of the bridge between its terminals is TJ'-O feet, or over one and one-third miles. The main span, from the center of one tower to that of the other, is 1600 feet long. The width of THE EVENING STATESMAN WALLA WALLA, WASHINGTON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19. 1903. the structure is lis feet, as compared with S5 feet, the width of the old Brooklyn bridge. Its minimum height above mean high water at pier head lines is 122 feet ami its minimum height for 200 feet on either side of the centre of the main span is 135 feet. The heights of the cables on the top of the towers is 333 feet at their center. Three thousand and forty-eight tons of steel have been used in constructing each of the towers, while nearly 17.- --000 tons have been put into the great approaches. In each of the suspension cables, which are 18% inches in diam eter, there are 7,696 separate wires, these wires being 3500 feet long and three-sixteenths of an inch in thickness. Six and one-half million feet of timber were required to con struct the bridge and the steel em ployed amounted to 40,000 tons. It was necessary to excavate 125.000 cubic feet of earth and to tear down sever al hundred buildings and houses. V Both of the towers are planted on solid rock foundations. For the Man hattan anchorage 3500 piles were driv en through clay and sand until they reached a solid foundation. The an chorage on the Williamsburg side is said to rest on natural sand. The bridge is provided with two drives for carriages, four trolley tracks, two ele vated tracks, two footwalks and two bicycle tracks. Authority for constructing the bridge was contained in a. law enacted by the state legislature in is..". in October of the following year the first work was begun on the Manhattan tower foundation. On April 14. 1901, the first wire for the temporary foot bridge was strung, while tlie first wire for the permanent cable was stretched across the following November. The ealdes were finished in August of 1902. The opening of the now bridge is ex pected to relieve somewhat the over burden of traffic on the Brooklyn bridge. This measure of relief, how ever, w ill not be nearly so great as might be supposed :it a first glance at the situation, for the reason that the gerat hulk of traffic thai will use the new structure have heretofore crossed t'ne river hy ferry and have not used the Brooklyn bridge to any extent. The ultimate relief of the Brooklyn bridge .crush lies in the completion of the third bridge across the East river al ready under construction at a point about midway between th.c Brooklyn bridge and the Williamsburg structure opened today. In addition to these three bridges a fourth is to connect Manhattan with the Brooklyn, shore by way of Blockwell's Island, so thai Xew York in a few years will be able to lay i laim to the title of the city of magnificent bridges. ENUERALS HELD UP BY LIVERYMAM'S STRIKE Fabulous Prices Offered for Hearses, but Drivers Will Not Yield to Temptation. CHICAGO, Dec. 19.—The liverymen's strike continues unabated. Fabulous prices were offered today for a hearse by relatives of the late Frederick Otis, the millionaire, and Judge Jones Hutchinson, one of the most prominent Illinois jurists, both of whom died two days ago. In both instances the re quest was refused. Arrangements were made to convey the remains to the cemetery in dead wagons, the mourners following in private car riages. The most serious demonstration since the liverymen's str ke began, oc curred this morning at the funeral of .Mrs. Joseph Vlock. who was murdered a few days ago. Her body, accom panied by her two small children was hurriedly driven from her late resi dence to St. Procopius church. In an ticipation of trouble a detail of police had been sent to the church where a crowd of 306 men and boys had gath ered. When the dead wagon arrived curses and catcalls were hurled at the driver and the undertaker's assistant. The police were compelled to charge the mob with clubs before the body could be c arried into the church. Only the two children were permitted to enter the church. They cried and sob bed in terror and grief beside the coffin as the priest conducted the service. The police meanwhile stood in solid phalanx at the door, the crowd curs ing ami shouting. The services over the police again charged the crowd and then formed two solid lines between which four officers caried the coffin to the hearse, which was then driven rap idly away, the driver lashing his horses forward, while the remainder of the police squad checked the mob. Simi lar scenes were faced at oter funerals, but the disorder was not so marked. In one instance owing to the lack of a conveyance the priest was compelled to conduct the service for the dead at the home before the body was removed in an express wagon. Nearly 75 funerals were scheduled for today but they had to be post poned. The undertakers announce that they won't send out any hearses until the drivers are forced into sub mission. Negro Murderer Lynched. PJPLEY. Term.. Dec. 19. —Jos Brake, a negro murderer, was taken from jail last night and hanged. His body was riddled with bullets. IT LOOKS WARLIKE Russia Is Trying to Borrow Money. EXCITEMENT HIGH IN JAPAN Many Englishmen Are Offering to En list in Japan's Army—Services Are Declined. f ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 19.—The papers today devote columns to the Japanese trouble. They express fears that the popular sentiment in Japan is so strong that acts of aggression are liable to commence at any time and that the Japanese may descend on the Korean coast without a formal declar ation of war. The admiralty has issued secret ord ers to the Asiatic squadron. English men unofficially seem to favor the Jap anese side as hundreds are daily making application sto the Japanese minister, Hayaashi, to enlist in Japan's army. Many are former army and navy officers. As the Japanese law forbids the enlistment of foreigners, the minister is compelled to decline these offers. LONDON, Dec. 19. —A dispatch from Paris financiers this morning states that urgent inquiries have been made at the Pre in h capital as to the possi bility of raising a new Russian loan of £25,090,000. It is understood that -;in#ar inquiries have been addressed to Xew York I,ankers. Finannsulfations. Senators Spooner and Lodge came together and when they left the latter was gesticulating forc ibly, showing great earnestness, Kean, Dryden and Piatt, of Connecticut, were closeted with the president a long time. Opinion is divided, but one of the president's callers this morning said: It' Gorman sue. Is in killing the treaty il w ill be the worst piece of poli ties the demo, rats have committed in many years. II Gorman after blocking the treaty runs for the presidency his defeat will be traceable to this more than to any other cause." But the democratic leaders say that the presi dent has exceeded his authority in encouraging the Panama revolution and that he should be rebuked. They say that it was his duty to enter Into negotiations for tbe Nicaragua!) route after Colombia had rejected the canal treaty. Sues a Beauty i/octor PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 19.—Mrs. G. \V. Duke has sued Madame Saxe, the celebrated beauty doctor. for $250. Mrs. Duke had a poor complexion and made an arrangement to have it fixed or $150. Madame Saxe cleared one half of the face, making it very white, leaving the other sallow and pimply and then demanded another $100 for the other side. Mrs. Duke would not pay and had to go to another beauty rjoi tor, and she now has one side of hef face clear and the other a robust red. Colombian Troops Moving Northward. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. otible from Glass, says that it is reported that th-- Colombian troops which were at th'- mouth of the Atrato river have -ailed northward on a Colombian kuu» boat, but the rumor is not confirmed. WANTS HIS M(MY. R. H. Osborn Brings an Action Against an Insurance Company. lii the superior court today George T. Thompson and Oscar Cain, attor neys for ft. H- Osborn, commenced an ac tion against the Pioneer Mutual Fire association of Seattle-, to recover the sum of $2000. In the complaint Ob* born alleges thai May 2, 1903, he took ou t insurance to the amount of 12009 on a stock of notions that he had in a building on Main sti t. paying to the company the sum of 149 as a premium for said insuran* c. July 29, the build ing which he was occupying was de stroyed by t'ne. Including his entire stock. Shortly afterward an insurance adjuster came to Walla Walla and in spected the ruins of the fire. Osborn demanded the amount of his insurance. (Thereupon the adjuster notified him that he would have to file with the company a duplicate invoice of the stock h»- had on hand at the time the fire occurred. This Osborn could not do and the company refused to settle. He claims that his entire loss was $3000 md he asks for Judgment against the company in the sum of $l>oo and his costs incurred in bringing the suit. Closed the Doors. The crush at the '-losing °ut sale of the dry goods department of McKean*a was such yesterday that Manager Jack Ward was compelled to close the doors at intervals during the afternoon. The big store was crowded from early morning until night and the clerks were worn out when closing tfme came. "The sale is progressing very nicely, but why shouldn't it?" remark ed Manager Ward this morning. "It is a boni fide closing out sale and the goods have been marked down to* move them."

Amusements. "Chinese Honeymoon." A "Chinese Honeymoon," which gives its Initial performance in Walla Walla, Jan. 13, is one f those clean musical comedies that theatre-goers will welcome as it is entirely differ ent from musical comedies that have been seen here this season. t does not depend wholly on one or two characters for Us success, as the com pany contains about twenty princi pals and carries a chorus of over eighty voices. The costumes and scenery are among the handsomest seen on the stage today. The music of "A Chinese Honeymoon" is the work of Howard Talbot, and the book ami lyrics are from the pen of George Dance. Among the many clever numbers are "I Want to be a Lady," "Roly Poly." "The A La Girt, rwiddledy Bits,rhe Official Mother- in- La w," "The Leader of Frocks and Frills." "Bits from the Plays." and "There's a Little Street Id Heaven thai they Call Broadway." The company selected for this won derful success includes such notables as John EL Henshaw, Stella Tracey, Toby Claude, the pocket edition come dienne, c. il. Prince, W. H. Clarke, .May Ten Broeck, Edward Clark and Francs Knight These, together with a chorus of ninety make it one of the best of all musical companies. A singular coincidence concerning "A Chinese H >ymoon" is that the hook of the comedy is free from suggestive lines, and the costumes do not include either tights or short dresses —some- thing unusual for the majority of musical comedies which are now presented to the public. Another im portant feature is the grand ensemble numbers, particularly the finale of the tirsi act, which is the wedding Scene, and the tin lie of the second act. "The Feast of Lanterns." On this scene over four hundred diminutive electric lights are used and the rear ground shows several pegodas illumi nated for the occasion. Nothing on the American stage has eclipsed this elec trical tableau for gorgeous beauty. Theatre Notes. "Way Down East," which comes to the Walla Walla theater on Jan. 21, had its preiuier at Xew port. R. 1., on September ts'.»7. ami was quickly transferred to New York, where it jumped into immediate popularity and had one of those extraordinary runs which are the envy alike of managers ami authors. It is absolutely innocent of great pre tense as a d>ama; but it sets forth in a realistic and in some respects an Idyllic way. the every day life which is to be encountered in Xew England. Everywhere it has been presented the public has crowded in to I night and cry over its exquisite touches of na -1 Ul'e. CUT GLASS IF YOU SEE IT IN OUR AD IT IS SO.

Oregon, of which George L Baker is manager, the Tivo li opera company, of San Francisco, will tour the Pacific Northwest next summer. Arrangements have been ef fested by Mr. Laker and the manage ment of the Tivoli Opera house, and it is expected that the tour will be quite successful. The Tivoli company takes to the road each year for a few weeks while the home house, in San Francis- I co, is being devoted to grand opera. While in San Francisco recently, Mr. j Baker was given direction of the next j tour. The company will appear in Portland, Seattle and elsewhere In the northwest The length of the sea son of light opera in these cities will lepend upon the local residents, as subscription books will be opened. In regard to other towns, short engage ments will be filled. The repertoire will consist of light comic operas which have not been heard here be fore.

Edna Archer Crawford, leading wo man of the Baker theatre company, now at the home house at Portland. Oregon, has received an offer to create a character in a production which will be made in the east in January. Only ifter urgent solicitation arid obtain in-- the consent of Manager George L. Taker, did Miss Crawford accept. She will ltjnve Portland for th.c east about the fust of the year. Mr. Baker is now negotiating with three famous leading women, with a view of se lecting the best for the vacancy caused by Miss Crawford's departure. During the past week there -were four theatres open i 1 Portland, Oregon, and during the week there were five attractions: "Ben Hur" at the Mar quam Grand; "Jim the Penman," at th.- Baker: "Not Guilty" at the Empire, "Yon Yonson," and "A Little Outcast" at Cordray's. "Ben Hur" did tremen dous business, and, as has been the case in every city where it has ap peared, it crippled tlie patronage at the other houses, with the exception of the Baker. Notwithstanding the remarkable strength of the big opposi tion "Jim the Penman" more than held its own.

Ttec.A9.— Superintendent Jay Lynch of the Yak hna Indian reservation, about whose removal so much has been said during the past six months, will in all proba bility retain his place. Captain Downs wiio came here after Special Agent Dickson had reported against Mr. Lynch, has evidently sent to the de partment a totally different report from that sent b Inspector Dickson, and he appears to be a man whose re port has considerable weight with his superiors. Mr. Lyncn s friends were given to understand that if they would forward a statement signed by a num ber of prominent citizens of Yakima county to the effect that they consider the administration of affairs on the Yakima resrvation satisfactory, and that they believe his retention as agent is for the best, the matter will be dropped. This petition is now being prepared and will be forwarded at once to Washington.

I IMMENSE RATTLEK CAPTURED Olympians Having Seen Snakes Now Exonerated by Suspicious Public. OLYMPIA. Wash.—A diamond-back rattlesnake 5 feet 2 inches long and measuring 4 inches in diameter at the middle was killed in this city by Thomas Prather. The snake had cap tured .Mr. Prather's cat and was mak ing a meal of it when Mr. Prather came to the restate and with a revolver dispatched his snakeship. The reptile is an unusually large one. and is a last remnant of the "Boseow show,"' that broke up here a year ago. In the mix-up the snake escaped, and has been here ever since. It has been seen several limes, but in most cass it was thaught to be the forerunner of delirium tremens. SERUM CURE FOR TYPHOID Thirty Cases Have Sen Treated Suc cessfully at the Hospital. NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—Remarkable 'cures of typhoid fever patients are re ported by Beth Israel hospital, where a serum imported from Italy and Switzerlad is being used. Although th-- remedy has been In use more than three months, it has just been made public. In that time 3*' cases have been treat ed at the hospital, which is in the most crowded onartcf of the east side. Not one of the patients died and in some instances improvement set in before the fever had ran mmc than half its regular course. A small quantity of this lymph is injected Into the body three times a day. sometimes in the thigh, sometimes in the breast. The operation Is of the simplest and prac tically painless. Physicians in charge of the institu tlo refuse to discuss the matter fully, pending the preparation of a detailed report on each case for the use of the medical profession. They admit the successful use of the new serum, but maintain that the treatment is still in its experimental stage. ELOPERS MAY BE IN TACOMA. SEATTLE. P. H. Nelson, the curb stone preacher, for whose arrest on a charge of adultery a warrant was is sued a few days ago. is still absent from the city and the sheriffs office can find no actual trace of his whereabouts. It is suspected that be is in Tacoma. and has with him there Mrs. Paupline Schmidt, the woman whom he claims as his wife in the eyes of the Lord, if not in the optics of mere mortals. Mrs. Schmidt's six small children have been left to struggle along as best they can. Their grandmother, who is eld'and feeble, is caring for them at present, while their father, a cobbler is at his work. Nelson disappeared a few hours af ter Judge Xeterer granted Mrs. Nelson a divorce, and recommended to the prosecuting attorney that the preacher be prosecuted for adultery. It was not known until this morning that Mrs. Schmidt had also left the city. Every effort is being made to ap prehend Nelson and instructions to ar rest him, if he can be found there, were wired to the Tacoma authorities. THE EVENING STATESMAN SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1903. M ÜBY TOWNS WANT A NEW CHARTER. 3usrness Men of Dayton Petition to Discard Old Charter. DAYTON, Wash.. Dec. IS. —At the ity council meeting held last Monday a petition signed by 150 taxpayers was presented asking the city council to call a special election so that the peo ple could vote on the question of the adoption of the state charter for third class cities. The petition was referred to the committee on ways and means to report at the next meeting. The question of discarding the present charter and the adoption of the <tate charter has been under consid eration by the business men's associa tion for the past two months, and after investigating the matter thoroughly and weighing the benefits and powers of the two charters, decided in favor of the state charter. A petition of this kind "only requires the signatures of 90 taxpayers, but nearly double the number was readily secured in a few hours' work. .While the first O. R. X. train com ing toward Dayton Wednesday morn ing was approaching Prescott, a bolt in the interior workings of the engine broke, bringing the train to a standstill in a hurry. They were going at a slow rate of speed and a serious accident was averted. Engineer Jones took the machine apart, disconnected the port cylinder and came on to Dayton using only one side of the engine, arriving here a couple of hours late. Ity the time the afternoon train was due an other engine was received. COSGROVE DONCERE CO. Receiving Flattering, Reception in the Palouse Country. Tlv Cosgrove concert, which will give an entertainment at the opera house in this city December 22 under the auspices of the Odd Fellows' gen eral relief committee, are meeting with great success in the Pa louse country. The following telegram was received in this city last night from one of the leading business men of Pullman: PULLMAN, Dec. IS. —John Smith. Walla Walla: The Cosgrove enter tainment given for the Elks last night was first class. The audience was de lighted. W. I). WiXDI'S. MURDERER LAID LOW. Posse Pour Rifle Balls Into Body of Joe Dilio. a Desperate Italian. SPOKANE, Wash. —With a posse hot upon his trail, Joe Dilio, the fu gitive Italian murderer, left the road' Tuesday morning and took refuge in the brush near Valley, Wash. There he was discovered shortly after day light. As the posse advanced through the brush, Dilio, lying behind a log, raised his head and pointed a revolver at his pursuers. The posse waited no further warning, but opened tire, rid dling him with title bullets. Death was instantaneous. Dillie and Antonio Del Vecchio were partners in a grocery and saloon busi ness in Spokane. Saturday they quar reled. Dilio shot Del Vecchio. mort ally wounding him. Then Dilio ded. Monday night a mysterious Italian en tered F. Weatherwax's hotel at Val ley, 4ii miles north of Spokane. He came in by the back door, kept his hat over his eyes and turned his back on other people. When he went to his room he locked the door and barricad ed it with his bed. Weatherwax, who is a constable, was convinced he was Dilio, but tried to get definite facts from Spokane before arresting him. Weatherwax put his cot outside Dilio's door, lest the man should escape. A limit 4 o'clock Tuesday morning Dilio left the hotel. He went to a mill about a mile and a half away, where lie bought breakfast and an overt oat. Then he started down the road. Meanwhile the constable got orders from Spokane to arrest him. 1 Organizing a posse of six men with two dogs, they tracked Dilio through the snow into the brush. There they waited for daylight. As they advanced through the brush Dilio raised his head as if to lire. A moment later he was dead. PORCH CLIMBERS eNTER HOUSE Robs House of Sigmund Frank at Portland. PORTLAND. Or.—While Sigmund Prank Co.. was dining with mem bers of his family at the hue Prank residence Tuesday evening, a porch limbing burglar entered the house through an upstairs window and stole a collection of diamonds valued at $2000. The inmates of the house were not aware that anyone had entered the residence, and not until a member of the family retired to his room was the burglary discovered. The police were immediately notified, but until a late hour had found no clew to the burg lar. The work closely resembles the work of the porch-climbing burglars who have been working in the Sound cities and is the boldest crime that has oc curred in Portland for some time While the members of the household were gathered at dinner they left the lights burning upstairs, so that the rooms were brilliantly lighted. The pillars to the front porch are large and strong and a lattice work formec a. crude ladder, up which the burglar climbed. It is the opinion of those in the house that the burglar did not stay but a few minutes, as the diamond? were in plain sight of him as soon as he entered. After he had secured the plunder he did not wait to descend the pillar, but jumped to the ground. The detectives discovered the prints of his feet where he had jumped. PART OF WORK DONE Surveys on Walla Wal'a River Completed. fRANSEERRED TO MILL CREEK Northwestern Gas and Electric Com pany's Engineers Continue Pre liminary Work for Plant. The party of surveyors who have been making preliminary surveys on the Walla Walla river for the pipe line of the new power plant of the Northwestern Gas and Electric com pany have finished their work and been transferred to upper Mill creek to do some work above the company's old power plant. The work on the Walla Walla river has been under way for several months and in all three distinct routes for the proposed pipe line have been surveyed, one ending on the Roberts ranch, an other on the Hogan place a mile lower down, and the third at a point two miles above the Neibergall place. The reports of the surveyors have been filed with the company and a selection of a site for th" proposed plant is ex pected to be made some time next month. Cyrus W. Pierce, of Philadelphia, who negotiated the bonds of the com pany and i= largely interested in tlie corporation arrived in the city this morning from Boise City in company with Vice President Isaac Anderson, ahd spent th" day looking over the proposed plans of the company. Mr. Pierce in conjunction with Mr. An derson and other eastern capitalists have just negotiated the purchase of the Boise Rapid Transit company. Tin- fact that Mr. Pierce is becoming interested in western electric railway projects lends color to the rumor that the local company is behind the elec tric railway scheme for Walla Walla which Vice President Anderson declar ed upon his return from the East would be built in this city within tlie next tun years. Mr. Pierce was clos eted with tlie officials of the company pretty much all day and it was impos sible to secure an interview with him on tin- proposed plans of the company. CLOSED fOR THE HOLIDAYS. All Public Schools Take a Recess Un til the First Monday in January. All the Walla Walla public schools and those in the districts throughout Walla Walla county were closed yes terday and studies will not be resum ed until after the holidays.

SUPREME COURT HOLDS 17 GOOD Litigants Who Desire Jury Trial Mutt Deposit the Sum of Twelve Dollars in the Court. The supreme court has declared con stitutional and valid the so-called $13 'jury fee law passed hy the last legis lature, which made the failure of a lit igant to deposit the sum ol $12 ad j Vance fees a wai\er of the right of jury trial In civil eases. From the time of its passage the law has been attacked, and there were many that believed it would not stand the test of the courts. The supreme court holds, however, that, as the law imposes no unreasonable conditions, in a broad sense the right of trial by jury remains inviolate as before its passage. The measure was attacked by reason of al leged repugnance to section 21, article I of the stat.- constitution, which pro vides that "the right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate, but the legisla ture may provide fur the waiving of jury in civil cases, where the consent of the parties interested is given j thereto." The validity hinged on whether the j "consent" referred to should be "ex pressed" only, or should include "Im pied consent.'" it being construed that la failure to deposit the fee under the law would be implied consent to the waiver. The opinion trees Into an ex haustive discussion of the various au thorities, arriving at the conclusion that the void consent should be con strued in its broadest sense, ami under that interpretation holds that the leg islature had the power to enact the law.

The Evening Statesman Published by THE STATESMAN PUBLISHING CO Office, No. 9, Third St., Near Main. Telephone Main 123. One year .delivered by mail) in advan REVISKaX. It is hardly likely that the commit tee appointed to Investigate the water question on behalf of the Commercial Club will report in favor of buying half th.- Thomas ranch for $25,000 for the accommodation of the First Na tional Bank, which is the real owner of the land, but it' such a report should be mad.- it will be subject to revision or annulment by the club as a whole, every member being given the right to express bis views and to vote on the adoption er rejection of the report. The Statesman still believes that the city's $10,000 water right on the Thomas ranch gives it all the authority it needs for making use of all or any part of tli.- subterranean flow of wa ter on tlie entire farm of about 289 acres and that there is no necessity whatever for the purchase of any land, except a few acres for reservoir pur poses, in a pinch the city could get along without any land there, building its reservoirs elsewhere. It is not necessary to own the land in oidcr tv prevent the contamination of the water sappy. The common law. the state law and the rights of the city under its deed to the subterran ean water will give ample protection against any possible attempt to pollute the water that may be developed there. It is expected that tlie committee of the Commercial clab in conjunction With the water committee of the coun cil will investigate thoroughly the dif ferent plans of deevloping an adequate supply of water that have been sug gested ami report in favor of the plan that seems most feasible. The busi ness men generally are opposed to the abandonment of the city's $2r>0,000 sys tem now in use and still unpaid for ami they are favorable to the plan of Councilman Glasford to supplement the present system by making use of the How of water already developed at Thomas springs. This plan proposes to use the present system for all the residence portions of the city west of Howard street and to use the gravity system Pa- the business district and the residence districts east of Howard street. The pumping station in Isaacs addition can be continued until a flow of water shall be developed on the Thomas ranch that will make its fur ther use unnecessary. Ity following this plan the city will save its $250,000 investment on which it still owes about $225,000, and at the same time save thousands of dollars in the cost of new pipe that would be needed if the gravity system were ex tended t., th.> entire city at once. It is estimated that the Glasford Splan would not cost the city more than $100,000. It is doubtful if bonds to a greater amount could be issued, as they must be based upon the increased revenues expected to be derived from an iues Tested Free Qla«se* Correctly fitted men and the public by giving them employment at fair wages cleaning the deep mud off the crosswalks, which are now in an execrable condition. Thus these men would be given an op portunity to earn a few Christmas comforts for their families and the streets would be made passable. The present condition of the crosswalks is a disgrace to the city. THE LATEST DISCOVERIES. Wonders never cease. The pension bureau lias discovered a widow who voluntarily discontinued her pension, and a professor of Princeton university has found that radium may be ex- j traded from carnolite, an ore plenti ful in Utah. Grouping these two facts together may seem unscientific. It must be ad mitted that they are not precisely of the same class. Their bearing upon each other rests upon the foundation that they are the most striking new facts which have been added recently to the store of human knowledge and experience. In the list of nearly every man's ac quaintance is some old codger who has accumulated plenty of this world's goods, but who is credibly reported to be drawing a pension on the score of having been drummer boy, high pri vate or something in the civil war. He may have, .as the phrase is smelt the battle from afar." but he deems ttiat that entitdes him to lifelong pa y. Widows, moreover. have exhibited a remarkable fetidness for pensions. With them it has not always been a matter of urgently needing the money, but rather the undoubtedly sane con iction that it "comes in handy." Mrs. Josephine E. Henry of P-oston is the holy who writes to the pension com missioner, stating that she has in herited a. competence, and feels that it would not be right to continue a beneficiary of the government. The dump heaps of an Austrian mine have been said to be the sole source of radium. With that commodity at $250.000 an ounce, Austria promptly placed a high premium on the said "dump." It was not to be expected that the United States could be very long kept out of a market so enticing. But that the news should come so soon, telling of limitless radium all our own. is most surprising. The eagle .again screams and is ready to pay pen sions even to widows who would rather not have them. AX APPROACHING DEFICIT. The striking feature of Secretary Shaw's report is its evidence of gross extravagance in the conduct of the government. It shows that, while the receipts increased about $10,000,000 over the previous year, expenditures increased about $47,000,000. But that is the smallest part of the showing. Despite the fact just cited, there was a surplus for the year of over $54,000,- --000 whereas foe the next few years it is extremely likely that the balance will be on the wrong side of the ledger. To be sure, a surplus of $14,000,000 is figured for 1004: but we have to com pare this with the estimate of nearly $52,000,000 for that period which Sec retary Shaw presented a year ago. Certainly, if the receipts and expendi tures maintain the same relation for the remainder of the present fiscal year that has been witnessed so far, the sec retary's $14,000,000 surplus will "flit like a ghost away." When he comes to his 1905 estimates, the secretary frankly admits a deficit of $23,000,000. This is. of course, a purely arbitrary figure; the real shortage will as likely as not greatly exceed this sum. It may be tolerably easy to calculate ex penditures two years ahead, but under our revenue laws the secretary of the treasury is all at sea when he comes to forecasting his receipts. A NATURALIZATION OUTRAGE. The abuse of tlie naturalization laws has been so great in the last few years that President Roosevelt called at tention to the subject in his annual message to congress and Attorney Gen eral Knox, in his annual report, rec ommended to congress, the passage of amendments to the naturalization laws rendering the abuse of the present stat utes less easy, says the Seattle Post- Intelligencer. As much attention as has been call ed to this subject in the past year lias not been efficacious in preventing a most disgraceful abuse of the privilege of naturalization by a superior judge of this state. A special dispatch to this paper from Ellensburg on December 14 stated that forty-six foreigners ap peared before the superior court of Kit titas county on Monday last to take out first and last papers for naturali zation and then the dispatch further says, "an interpreter was necessary in nearly every case, as they could not understand the English language." No man. who. after five years' residence in this country, cannot speak the lang uage of the country is fit to become an American citizen. The granting of this inestimable privilege to men who can not speak our language and who do not understand our system of government is nn unspeakable wrong to the body politic. "Yes." said the discontented man. I've got a job as assistant professor of astronomy at the college, but it dees not pay very well." "But it's easy work.

mm mmtm PRESIDENT TURNER NAMES MEM BERS TO LOOK AFTER PRO POSED FARMERS' INSTITUTE. Matter of Securing Convict Labor to Assist in Improving County Roads Will Be Handled. At the meeting of the directors of the Walla Walla Commercial Club last night President Harry H. Turner ap pointed Oliver T. Cornwell, C. L. Whit ney. Milton Evans, H. S. Blandford, W. P. Reser and W. A. Hit/, a committee to arrange for the holding of the Farmers' Institute in Walla Walla February 2 to The institute will be conducted under the auspices of Professor Elliott o! tlie Pullman Agri cultural college. W. I*. Reser, W. G. Sayles and Charles F. Van De Water were ap pointed to take up th- matter of using the convicts at the state penitentiary in improving the roads. A resolution was introduced along the lines pro vided be by an act of the legislature. Which permits tie- prisoners to be worked on roads and highways. The matter svill be taken up by tlie com mittee, who v. ill confer with the county commis: ioners and the state officials. President Turner was instructed to name a number of the leading busi ness men to call on General Funston when he visits Fort Walla Walla and arrange a conference with that offi cer, if possible, in order that t'ne pro posed abandonment of the garrison may be disart of the state are planting out hundreds of English walnut trees. He declares that the English walnut pro duct i.-n will In a score of years be one of the chief industries of the state. Parseeing fanners of his section al ready are preparing for the big de ma?;.!, which they feel assured will be made for the Washington product, and are enthusiastic over the outlook. Capt. Hogan says experiments that have come under his notice establish that the English walnut grows in any kind of soil in eastern or western Washington. The shot clay of the uplands of the west side seem to be splendidly adapted for large crops of the nut. The tree has a growth about the same as that of the apple tree, and begins bearing when five years old. When the tree is seven or eight years old it produces from fifty to one hundred pounds of nuts. These sell at wholesale at from 10 to 13 cents a pound. A fully matured tree, ac cording to State Horticulturist A. Van Holderbeke, who was interviewed this afternoon relative to the matter, will grow from 200 to 300 pounds of nuts. Both Capt. Hogan and Mr. Van Holderbeke this afternoon agreed that the Washington variety of nut excelled those grown in California and other parts of the United States. The kinds best adapted to this state. Capt. Ho gan says, are the Mayet and the Far quet, both of which are French vari eties. Contrary to the general sup position, Capt. Hogan says the nut does not originally come from England as its name implies, but that it is a French nut. Immune From Pests. Ono splendid quality of the trees is the fact that they appear to be prac tically immune from the scourge of fungus and the attacks of insect pests, from the ravages of which fruit trees suffer SO greatly in this stale. The trft erent than that provided for them at any other meet ing. It is now proposed to charter one of the handsome river steamers and take all who desire to go, on an excur sion to Astoria and return.

THE ii* STREETS BUSINESS MEN MAKING COM PLAINT ABOUT MAIN BUSI NESS THOROUGHFARES. Some of Them Are Almost .mpassable -Suggestions Offered to Better the Roadways. i is being made by Much complaint is oeius the business men at the present condi tion of the principal streets of Walla Walla Many of them are almost im passible and in many places it is near ,v impossible for a team of horses to ul an empty wagon through the in thoroughfares of the cuty. A pot ion of Alder between First and Pa ouse is in a most deplorable condition. As a farmer who c ame to the city yes terday and drove the street with a oad of produce put it. "it was clear over the axles of my wagon and was horses al.nost mired out of sight one of the leading merchants ol the cit y in discussing the subject, said this morning' -Something should be done by the city to improve the streets, and it' should be done at once. It is de plorable that a .ity the size of Walla Walla should have no better streets than the country villages. There has been enough work done on them and sufficient money expended to give the city the best streets of any place in the- state. They have been macadam ized sufficiently, but the trouble seem* to be that they have not been prop erly looked after. The mud has been allowed to aceomumuiate until almost every principal street in the city is simply a mud puddle. While I am not blaming any one. yet I believe that the council should take some steps to put the streets in be'tor shape. A force of men could be placed at work scrap ing up the mud, and it could be carted away. This plan would materially im prove the condition.'* "I am of the opinion." said a heavy taxpayer, "that if the city would put a force of men at work and remove all the loose dirt on tbe streets, and hive them swept at least once a week, it would not be long until we would have streets that would almost be equal to paved ones." McELMON ELECTED CAPTAIN Star Fullback Will Again Look After the Washington Eleven. SEATTLE, Wash., Doe. 19.—Fred McElmon, the star fullback of tbe University of Washington football team, was elected captain of the team for 1904. McElmon was opposed by Al fred Strauss and William Hill. Just before the elect'on Strauss and Hill learned that McElmon would undoubt edly be chosen and to make themselves solid for future elections, they with drew their candidacy and allowed Mo Elmon to be elec ted unanimously, selection was made by member 1 ~wt ,3 .i -er been football team.

Both ne j r immediate friends con me£ that ;is McElmon has had tbe honor of being captain of the team he should not stand in the way of others and that either Hill or Strauss should be recognized. There was some feel ing on the part of the fraternities as the two fiats were involved in the con test, but it was finally concluded that McElmon would be too strong. He is looked upon as a better man for the position than the two others and will doubtless do much for the 1004 team. Last week of the army goods sale in the opera house hloek.
