Walla Walla and t'matilla.two of the
best counties in the Pacific Northwest
will this year have less than S.000.000
bushels .of wh?at, the decrease of an
average crop being 25 to SO per cent
The heaviest falling off is In the Eureka
Flat district, where a portion of the
decrease Is attributed to poor farm
ing. although climatic conditions were
decidedly unfavorable. The big prices
offered will more than offset the short
age in yield.' although the distribution
will be unequall as the wealthiest farm
ers have the best crop.
FOR THE WOMEN
BAD FIRE IN SAN FRANCISCO
Eight Two Story Frame Structures
Reduced to Ashes
San Francisco, August 29. A fire
which at one time threatened to be
most disastrous broke out on the south
side of 'Brannan street between Third
and Fourth streets tonight Owing to
the vigorous work of the fire depart
ment which arrived early on the scene
the conflagation was promptly check
ed and the damage confined to that
, section of the block intersected by Blux
orae street As it was fght two-story
frame structures occupied by manufac
turers of furniture, woodware and
' metal work were totally destroyed, the
loss being estimated at $75,000. The
cause of the fire is unknown.
Two firemen were injured during the
progress of the fire. Captain John Mat-
theson of engine 19 was knocked down
by a hose and had one of his ribs
broken. At the same time Arthur
Hugh Welch, captain of No 7 engine
had his back injured by falling timbers.
': The following businesses were burned
Lorden & Rfllly, plumbers; George
Borandelen, furniture; D. Lewis, store
builder; Markley & Warren, store fit
tings and furniture; William Morgan,
carriage builder; Voight and Vehyle,
general mill work; Newton Hoffman,
planing mill; Moore & Hess, metal
workers.
A Chicago woman has just cremated
the body of her fourth husband. It
isn't fair that some women should
have husbands to burn, while others
are forced to live and suffer in the
single state.
Miss Ella May Clemmons, sister of
Mrs. Howard Gould, has just opened
In the Chinese district of San Francisco
the first Catholic Sunday school tor
Chinese and Japanese ever attempted
there.
Many a girl looks sullen and ill at
ease If her mother comes into the
room when she is entertalnng a young
man friend. The young man is sure to
notice this and mentally mark it down
against the girl.
A "stocking room" has recently been
added to a Kansas City bank. They
have found that many women carried
their money for deposit In their stock
ings, so they furnished a room where
the ladies could get their money in
retirement. v
If you can't have everything you
want, stop wanting. This is the first
aid to the unhappy of heart. 7
Every happy wife knows that her
husband is best man. and every con
tented husband real ires that his wife
is made of honor. .
v Now is the time for tired mothers
and fathers to take a vacation. Take
a week off and visit the country fair.
We do hope that the women folks
will learn .o stop worrying about the
little things and save your strength
for the large worries.

VALUABLE SIGNAL SERVICE
Marconi System of Great Use to
Fleet Maneuvering
Portland, Me., August 29.-Colonel
Dunmoody, the chief officer in charge
of the signal corps of the defending
forces during the war maneuvers in his
report to the War Department will say
that the most valuable signal system
used was that of wireless telegraphy
and there has been almost as lively a
contest between the army and navy
signal corps as betweeji the troops and
sailors.
The army station has interpreted nu
merous messages sent from ship to ship
of the fleet and had furnished news to
the defending forces of almost every
attack that was to take place and the
movements of the ships have been fully
.reported. The navy, on the con
trary, stems not to have been able to
read the army messages. The army
telegraphers claim the naval system is
much smaller.
