(To the Editor.) Cut on East Twenty-fourth street, be tween Division street and the Powell Val ley road, a lot of grading was done this I Spring, and preparations apparently made to put this piece or street or roaa in first-class condition. Vl, however, remains just as the graders left it some months ago, and unless gravel or some other sur face material is soon furnished, the Fall rains will. In the course of a few weeks, convert It Into a sea of mud, which will be cut all to pieces by passing wagons. It Is the writer's understanding that this piece of street Is still under the care of the county, and It is perhaps not asking too much to inquire who is responsible for the unseemly delay. Hawthorne avo- WHEAT WILL NOTuO EAST XOBTHERS PACIFIC ItEFUSKS TO MAKE: SPECIAL RATES. President 31ellen's Reply to Request for a Redaction Serious Blunder Kesardinp Tonnage Figures. President Mellen, of the Northern Pa cific Railway Company, has refused the request of the Commercial Club of "Walla Walla for a lower rate for grain to East ern points, says the Walla TValla Union, and has written a long letter to President Paine, of the Commercial Club, stating "his position on the matter. The letter certalnlv came as a surprise, as a num ber of the members of the club thought the request would be granted, and they are much disappointed at the stand taken by Mr. Mellen. Still at the same time they will relax none of their efforts in other directions, and it is hoped that one of the other transcontlnetal railway com panies will make a rate which will re lleve the local situation. In bis letter President Mellen lakes Is sue with the Commercial Club on va rious points and simply says his com pany will not grant the request. He sets forth at length his understanding of the grain fleet proposition and declares there is sufficient tonnage chartered to arrive before December 31. which" will double the amount of last year and no embarrass ment from lack of shipping facilities. President Mellen's letter, which Is self explanatory, follows: "Northern Pacific Railway- Company, Office of the President, St. Paul. Minn., Aug. 31, 1900. Mr. F. "W. Paine and Oth ers.

In these early works Is unquestionably that which Tnakeb them so widely admired by the populace. To Velasquez, the greatest of Spanlhh artists the Berlin gallery gives us a pleapant introduction through the ..i,.hiu nnrtmit of Alexander del Eorro. To artist this work is especially interesting, owing to the peculiarity of its lighting and for its fcklllful foreshorten ing, for it was painted to be seen from below, and the proper delineation of its jiroportions made demands upon the xarc-t powers of draughtsmanship. Ttu fortunes of time have so scattered the works of the various schools that it is necessary to viit almost every coun try in Europe to see the full manifesta tlont. of its complex art. Of the quality of Dutch nd Flemish art one can learn jnost in Holland and Belgium, naturally, but the German galleries contain numer ous striking examples of these schools which demand attention. For Instance, one finds nowhere a better representa tion of Tenlers than in the Munich gal ltry. And whereas acquaintance with Bembrandt in Holland la made chiefly through his largo compositions, like "The Night Watch" and "The Anatomical Lec ture," as a portrait painter he can be studied to equal advantage at least in Oermanj. A fine example of his power as a master of light and shade is the portrait of himself in the Munich gallery, painted when he was about CO years old. The richest gallery In Germany In Rem tirandt's portraits, however, is that of Dresden. Here is his picture of himself as a bridegroom, with Saskia. his bride, sitting on his knee. It was the fashion for artist in his time to celebrate their -weddings by painting themselves and Their wives together, and this jovial can vas is Rembrandt's contribution to the collection. He appears never to have wearied of painting his young wife, whom death took from him after eight years of Tire happiness. Here also is the earliest known portrait of her. painted in 1633. a year before the marriage, and probably at about the time of Rembrandt's first ac quaintance with her. But the most beau tiful of all the portraits of Saskia Is that sin, pursued by condemnation from on i high, the fall of the lost from the heights j of heaven to the lowest depths of hell Is picuirea wun inesisuuie wiu uvciucnu- SnsUIa van I'lenlmrch. Ing dramatic force. No work In the world makes a more amazing display of draughtsmanship. Note This studv by Mr. William Howe Downes. of Boston, will be concluded on Wednesday next. of wasted work. Now surveys have been made on East Thirtieth street, between Hawthorne avenue and Division streets, a road also under the care of the county, and rumor has it that this street is to be widened and a cut made In a hill. The writer wants to ask why. In the name of all that Is orderly, do not these peop e grade, gravel and complete one road, ere they beg'n another. It seems very un-buFinej-s-iike to leave there roads as they are left. Speaking of roads. I would like to add. that If any more bicycle paths are built by the county, and I trust there may be many, would It not be well to crown them up more, to make thm shed water rather than retain It, as many of them do. A vast deal of good has been done, for which we riders should be duly thankful, but if any one will ride on these paths during a rain, as has the writer, he will find that In a thousand plies, the surface water actually leads into the center of the path, which It follows, instead of run ning off at the sides, as It should. This tends soon to ruin paths. A path well raised above the general surface of -the country, wrell crowned at the center and with a little gravel well rolled Into the surface, will shed water admirably, and will last for years. I trust that these few remarks will awaken the newly elected Commissioners to a reallzat!on of the fact that we put them In office for business purposes, and that they should take a personal Interest in the roads and paths of the county, and build them as if they were building them for themselves.

Yale and Princeton Universities, ' anonymous ass. and is therefore a very great credit to Walla Walla. Wash. Gentlemen: "We recognize that Walla Walla is the trade center of the Walla Walla Valley; that vour valley produces a large amount of grain; and. furthermore, that Its population Is greatly Interested In the price received for that grain. "We do not, however, agree that that price depends upon shipping facilities, but rather .upon the supply, we having In mind many Instances where the supply of shipping facilities has been in excess ot the demand, yet the pric of grain has remained exceedingly low. "Our information regarding the grain fleet seeking cargoes on Puget Sound is much at variance with your state ment; we having knowledge of tonnage now under charter to arrive before De cember 31, 19W, of double the amount of the pfevibus year, and we believe no embarrassment can ensue, therefore. from lack of shipping facilities. "The prosperity now being enjoyed by tho cities on the Sound, and by the North Pacific Coast cities in general, has resulted in large importations, and the vessels to arrive must have return cargoes, forcing us to tne conclusion luul charters will not be at an unreasonable figure, as compared with previous years; and. but for the deminds of the Govern ment on account of the difficulties In China, vessel owners would, we believe, have great difficulty in securing remun erative rates for the coming season. "Your grain crop is not so much larger than any previous year as to warrant a material change in rates, and it is our belief any change made would not Inure to the benefit of the producers, but would be absorbed by the middlemen, leaving the product of your section In common markets at the same price as before, which price is whatever Is necessary to effect a sale In competition with other sections of the world supplying grain. "We are aware that many warehouses and flouring mills in your section are con trolled in a common interest, but this is. something over which we can exercise no power. So far as location upon our lines are concerned, they are to be had by all who have the money to build, and beyond this It is impossible for u to give relief. "AVe are far from the opinion, how ever, such control as you refer to is ob jectionable, or results in oppression or In justice to the producer. In our opin ion thi community Is better served by having responsible people and corpora tions with which to deal than If sub jected to the risk of loss, which is lirge, where business Is more divided, and L among many whose responsibility is ques tionable. "Any statement regarding a combina tion between the gralnbuyers, flouring mills, elevator companies and warehouse men with the shipowners is, to thosp familiar with the conduct of the busi ness, unworthy of serious consideration. We hive not reached a time .when a scheme of this .magnitude can be seriousiy considered, and its mention in this con nection detracts from rather than helps your argument. There Is little demand for your wheat In the Eastern part of this country: to roduce the rates to bring it here would simply deprive the farmers of Minnesota, and North Dakota of such profit as thoy now enjoy, and entail a further reduction by the railways to restore our former conditions. To help you In the way de sired would be to put an Injustice or burden upon other sections of our terri tory, which must seek relief in a reao nage, on August 1, was the larg est erer recorded on that date. The list for Portland Included 103,215 tons on route and listed and 13,335 tons in port to load. For Puget Soun there was en route and listed 45.7i3 tons, with 7490 tons in port. For the same pe riod in 1SS9 there was en route and listed for Portland 65,337 tons, with SS23 tons In port. For Puget Sound on Au gust 1, 1893, there was en route and listed 34.115 tons, with 1432 tons In port, making the total for Portland and Puget &-und of 113.727 tons in .1S9! compared with 16S.- 742 tons in 1S00. It Is thus apparent that compared with former years there is ade quate tonnage for handling the grain which Is liable to move early, although there is not enough already secured, nor has there ever been enough In recent years, to move more than a small por tion of the entire crop. This Is not the fault of the exporters, but of the farmers themselves. When the exporters commenced taking snips for the crop coming to market, there was plenty of tonnage obtainable for 35 shil lings, a rate about 7 cents per bushel low er than is now ruling. With such a largo crop In sight, and freights strong all over the world, this seemed a reasonable rate, and had there been any assurance that the farmer would market his wheat when It was needed, all of the tonnage needed would have been picked up. The exporters, however, had taken ships at 35 shilling a few years before, and when they arrived, the farmers held fast to their wheat, and squeezed the financial life out of some of the dealers and se riously strained the bank accounts of oth ers, by demanding prices from three to ten cents per bushel above the export value of the cereal. With "a painful rec ollection of this experience before them, the exporters refused to place themselves in a position where they could be serious ly hurt by being forced to meet tonnage demanded by the farmers. This condition of affairs can be reme died only by the farmer changing his system of gambling with his .wheat. It he believes It will be higher a few months hence, he sliould give the exporter a chance to help him out wnn cneap cnar ters picked up early in the year, by sell ing as soon as harvest is over, any buying futures In New York or Chicago. This saves Insurance, taxes and storage charges, and the element of chance is smaller than It is under the present meth od of holding; the actual wheat for the nurnoee of squeezing the exporter, and making him so timid that he Is afraid to charter ships. Freight rates are govern ed by world wide conditions, not by lo cal business, and accordingly Mr. Mellen is correct in alluding to an alleged com bination between shipowners and shippers "unworthy of serious consideration." Last season the nitrate dealers on the west const ot South Africa overbid Portland exporters, and took ships away from the Columbia River In ballast. They are bidding against the Portland export ers todav In the Orient, in Europe, and In Australia. The ore shippers of New Caledonia and the rice merchants -of the far East are doing the rame, and the shipowner has nothing In the world to gain by forming a combination with any of these trades, and. like any hard-headed business men, sends his ships where he has the best offers. He is demanding 45 shillings for grain today simply because he can receive an equivalent rate clse ! where.)

He certainly is a poor specimen of the "strenuous life." and Theodore Roosevelt, brave man that he is at his best, would be ashamed of such a product. One who would rush Into print with such little comprehension of the subject under discussion as to get a St. Louis riot mixed with the New York and Akron riots Is well named. He Is, Indeed, an "absent-minded beggar." As an ex-volunteer, however, I totally repu diate this cynical Kipling expression as applied to our citizen soldiers. In the year A. D. 177G (Tommy Atkins may rec ollect the date), the American colonists revolted from a particular form of gov ernment, and all true Americans have had an "hereditary opposition" to that form of government ever since. It is this traditional opposition, combined with love for republican institutions, which has made the American volunteer a distinct ive type among soldiers. Gcd grant that he mav ever be such.

"Your letter emphasizes the desire of your community to realize more for Its grain, and In this we have very disposi tion to assist, but the methods suggested would, In our judgment, entail a great loss upon us, and fall In the direction sought: and we believe, until there Is either less grain produced, or more con sumed, the markets of the world will fall to give that reeponse to your desire that will afford relief; and in the mean time we are as impotent to change the conditions existing as yourselves.

A Moscow (Idaho) special to a Seattle paper under date of August 2G says: There Is a bitter ngni oeing najai uv tween W. R. Russell, a gralnbuyer. on tne Northern Pacific, and tne Pacific Coast Elevator Company, whose warehouses are located on the Oregon Railroad & Navi gation line, as a result of which wheat today is bringing 47 cents per bushel In Moscow, while the- market price in all surrounding towns is but 42 cents. This fight Is bringing thousands of bushels ot grain to Moscow which would otherwise go to other points on the Northern Pacific, and. as the elevator company gets about as much of this a Russell, the Oregon Railroad & Naviga tion Company is reaping the benefit at the expense of the Northern Pacific. Wheat that would otherwise go to Sun shine, Colton. Johnson, Granite. Fallans and Joel, on the Northern Pacific, is be ing hauled to Moscow, and stored, vhich are sold to the competing firms, and ev ery bushel of this that goes to the ele vator company will be shipped over the Oregon Railroad & Navigation lines to Portland, and the Northern Pacific Is the loser. The railroads are being Involved In the fight, and J. V. Crelghton, traveling freight agent of the Northern Pacific, is here trying to stop the fight, and an ef fort Is being made to form a truce be tween the rival grain firms. The fight grew out of Russell, who had been agent for the elevator company sev eral years ago, but had quit ana, gone Into business on his own account, trans ferring his business from the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company to the Northern Pacific, and taking a ware house erected by the latter railroad last year. The elevator company, backed by the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com pany, succeeded In taking some of Rus sell's customers, which precipitated the fight. The farmers have taken adyant age of the advanced prices to dispose of considerable grain, and the merchants are reaping the benefits derived from new trade being brought to Moscow. extra tires on for protection, and about 50 pounds of baggage, which constituted his camping outfit.

Tho St. Lawrence canal system, the opening of which is expected to do so much for Canada, enables vesels not only to descend In safety the great fall of 207 feet from Lake Ontario to the level of the river at Montreal, but to avoid a long series of dangerous rapids. These canals have cost considerably more than ICO.000,000. The seven canals forming the link of the chain from the lakes to the seaboard have a total length ot more than 70 miles, and over half a hundred locks.

Tj 9 Irrigation Scheme for Eastern Pnrt of Yakima County. Spokane SpokesmanRovlew. Frank Dudley, a capitalist of Niagara Falls, N. Y., is in North Yakima looking over his irrigation canals in the district of Klona and Kennewlck. In the early days of Irrigation schemes he placed $70 000 in bonds in canals in the eastern part of the county. The company with which he was connected undertook to build several canals through a rich sec tion of country". Including- tho Klona, Kennewlck and Wallula districts. A canal was built, and a fine hotel, cost ing $12,000, was erected at Kennewlck. The Dell Haven Irrigation district was or ganized and $220,000 bonded indebtedness created. As no interest was paid on the bonds, the Eastern capitalists -sent a prominent financier to make Investigations. He re ported that there were but 11 farmers re siding in the district, and under the pro visions of the state law creating irriga tion districts, each family would be lia ble for about $20,000 assessments on the bonds. This, of course, caused the com pany to cease operations. At the last session of the State Legislature a bill was passed authorizing the dissolution of irrigation districts upon payment of the warrant Indebtedness. It is thought now that the district will be dissolved and the property revert to the old cor poration, known as the Columbia & Yak ima Irrigation Company. The Columbia & Yakima Company owns COftO acres of good land, which is covered by the canal to be constructed by Nelson Rich. It is said that work will begin within a month on this canal, and by next 8pring water will be delivered to the farmers. This land will be taken at once and planted to alfalfa and fruit trees. On the favorable report of Dud ley, the Eastern company will begin op erations on the completion of the canals and reconstruction of flumes, now esti mated to be worth as much as the orig inal cost, and with $10,030 additional ex pense can be put In good shape. t CnrrylnRr the GoSpel.
