WILLIAM R. HEARST
Will Have Plico of Honor at Jeffer
son Day Banquet TonigM at Des
Moines, Iowa.
Dcs Moines. Iowa, April 2. Con
siderable political significance is be
lieved to attach to tho Jefferson Day
banquet to be given hero tonight. The
announcement that William H. Hearst
Is to have a place of honor at the fes
tal board is taken as an indication
that the Hearst presidential boom,
which has been steadily nursed fot
some time through the medium of a
central literary bureau at Washing
ton, is about to be publicly launched.
William J. Bryan is also to be pres
ent and is expected to further explain
his plans to hold the free silver
forces together. So far as state pol
itics Is concerned the banquet is in
tended to counteract the Influence
of the Jackson day banquet at Water
loo last January, In which former
Governor Boles was the central fig
ure and In which Mr. Bryan and his
platform were Ignored by all the
speakers.
Hearst, according to advices re
ceived today, is unable to reach the
city this evening to attend the ban
quet at which he was expected to bo
the star attraction.

PRESSING NEED OF FUEL.

Tho building of thu Walla Walla &

Mountains will bo a distinct gain for
Wnlla Walla In tho matter of fuel
and lumber resources, saya tho Union,
There Is aa abundance of fir, plno
and tamarack timber In tho canyons
and on tho slopcB of tho mountains.
That part of tho country to bo tap
ped Is about 30 miles distant from
any lino of transportation other than
wagon, It is not profltablo to haul
tho timber such a distance to markot,
which can bo testified to by those
who have tried It In tho past. Said
Samuel Inoy In this regard yestor
day: "Back In tho early dayB tho Mor
mons engaged In tho traffic with their
teams, and when thoy took an Inven
tory of their goods and ehnttels at tho
end of several seasons of hauling they
found that they not only had no
money, but their horses, harness and
wagons wore worn out,
"I myself tried it and gavo It up
as a had Job, Tho steep roads mako
tho buslnesB of hauling over them
very dangerous, Furthermore, It la
unprofitable to thoso who engage in
tho work,"
