BACK TO FIRST LOVE HARVESTERS RETURNING TO RAILROADS FOR WORK, Farmers Blgper Than Corporations a Part of the Year Visa Versa the Rest of the Time Whirr of Header Fascinates Laborer. After several months of niBh of farm work the railroad companies are ngatn able to pet men to do the work which was suddenly dropped nt the bslnnliiR of harvest because every man. who earns his money by the sweat of his brow, rushed Into the harvest field because he could fiet better wages there than on railroads. Impossible to Get Men. It has been Impossible for the rail road companies to get men to keep their road work up durlus the harvest season just passed. Hardly a day passed that the O. 11. & X Company was not bidding; for men to work on section crows, for bridge work or fencing right of way. Good wages were offered but men preferred to re main In the harvest Held rather than work on the railroads. Now that har vest Is practically closed the railroad companies will have no trouble to get men in fnct they will be overrun with npplicntions for places at any kind of work. In referring to the utter impossibil ity of the W. & C. It. company to get men to work on their line during harvest season. General Manngor and Vice-President Joseph McCabc said to the Walla Walla Union: Crews Returning. "We are getting the section crews on the line of the Washington & Co lumbia River railroad recruited back to their normal strength nfter the harvesting season. Drop All Work. "We have found from experience," said Mr. McCabe. "that when headers begin to whirr in the fields we might I as well conclude we have all the road work done that we Intend doing forj the next two months. So we begin ahead of time and when harvest be-; gins we have our road put in the best' possible condition and there Is little! to be done. All that Is necessary theu i Is the maintenance of a forre of I track patrollers to keep watch for pos- Bible Incidental necessities in the way , of repairs. The section hands drop. off one at a time and go into the Har vest iields. There Uioy work longer hours and get almost no better wnges. Treat Farmers Right. "During this time we make no effort to hire men to take their places as to do so would be folly. If we tried to hire men we could do so without trouble, but they would stay with us only long enough to get transporta-j tion to the place where we wisueu them to work. After the train stop ped and let them off they would swing over the fence and take across coun try for the nearest harvesting outfit, certain to obtain work. .The railroad company would be out the price of a ticket and no one would be any better off. W might raise wages and get, men, tut this would not be fair to the farmers who must have workmen. If we advance our prices beyond those in the harvest fields the mana gers of harvesting outfits would be compelled to do the same and there would be no advantage to us in that. Besides this the farms are adjacent to our lino and we owe much to those who own and operate them. If we can assist the farmer It 1b our duty to do s). Rush Things In Spring. "So we work as hard as we can dur ing the spring and get everything In shape for the harvest season. Then we let our men go harvesting. More Now Than Needed. "Now that harvest is over the sec tion hands are beginning to drift back and apply for Jobs. There are many applicants and we can afford to choose. Each year we are thus ena bled to recruit up strong crews for the winter. But there are two months in the year when the farmer is bigger than the railroad company." SUCCESSFUL FRUIT FAIR. Walla Walla Entertaining Large Crowds of Visitors. Walla Walla, Sept. 2G. The fruit fair now in progress in this city is NOT A.

The fair opened Monday night, and has kept up c, strong recora for attendance from tho start. It took a day or two to got everything In smooth ordor, and now tho general appearance of tho show Is far above that of any previous effort. The fair has bcon visited by a number of prominent newspnpor men slnco Monday, as the stnto editorial association has been in Besslon In this city, and in this way the resources of the valley have been shown up in n wny that could not have been enslly done othorwlso. Many of the editors from other pnrtB of the state expressed unusual sur- nrlsn nt I ho nluiwlnir ninrio liv the city nnd surrounding country, nnd the Walla Walla valley lias jumped up several notches In tho estimation of not a few editors of Washington. Tlin nintincnmcnt of tho fair has concluded to hold tho fair open two iinvK lnncnr than oriclnnllv nlnnnrd. anil the final closing will occur Tues day Instead of Sunday night, 'l lie fniV will r-losn wlih a enrnlcal of snort miii danciur. nnd a specialty of niaskH will be made nt the closing hour. A gr-?nt variety of masks nnd costumes will be ordered for tho occasion, and the result of tho novel Idea introduced nt this time Is looked forward to with considerable Interest. The weather hns turned cold re cently nnd the pleasant evenings have .,,., vnv in ilm rhlllv l.nnrn when wraps are called Into use generally. This has the effect of cutting down attendance.

JUST ESCAPED HANGING. Ilr. 31 mill, VJio Mrmlril Jnlin Wlllri lliioth' rtrnkrn Lcr, Mudd was a physician, nnd It was to his bouse that Booth hud ridden on the night of his great crime. There his broken leg had been set, and there he had been secreted for one day. The doctor wns nn educated mnn or refined nml dlgnlfkxl manner. He hnd never quite recovered from his surprise that any one should llud fault with him for setting n broken bone for n stranger. He always asserted that he did not know Booth and was not nware lit the time that Booth hnd committed n crime. But Mudd had been an ardent secessionist He was accordingly sen tenced to imprisonment for life. It was n hard fate to be called upon for professional services by n wounded desperado and then narrowly to escape hanging for It The trial and sentence were tt terrible blow, from which M udd never recovered. He had left n devoted wife nt his home in .Maryland, and his mental sufferings were so severe thnt he seemed always on the verge of In finity. He had nt first been put to work with n wheelbarrow; but. Inning never done any manual labor, be was rapidly fulling under the combined physical and mental strain. For this reason 1 directed that he be transferred to the prisoners hospital ns nurs". There he made himself exei-jdlngly useful, and there he might have re mained had not his lioiuesleUiieBS In an evil hour overcome his judgment. While n ship lay at the wburf he contrived to get aboard and secrete himself In the coal bunkers. He was or course dis covered, nnd then he learned what lie did not know before, that no ship wiib allowed to sail until It was iiseiTlitini'd that every' prisoner was In IiIh place.
