W. P. Winans, president of the Far mer's Saving bank of this city, and also president of the Mexican Na tional Sugar Refining company; N. A. Davis, formerly cashier of the First National bank of Milton, and now treasurer of the sugar company; and C. F. Nichols, formerly of College Place, who has sold out his business In the local suburb, and will live In the future in Mexico, the two latter being stockholders In the sugar com' pany, left yesterday for the plant of the newly acquired corporation at Cordova, a Mexican village about 200 miles east of Mexico City and 50 miles west of Vera Cruz, on the coast of the gulf of Mexico, says the Walla Walla Union. Accompanying the party are Miss Sara Winans and Miss Wiunifred Off ner. Perhaps the most significant phase of the event lies In the .fact that In the plant of the Mexican company, the hacienda "El Potrero,' will be Invested almost, if not abso lutely, the first Walla Walla capital of any great sum placed in a foreign land. The controlling interest In the Mex ican National Sugar Reginlng com pany, which was organised under the laws of New Jersey, is owned in the Walla Walla valley, or by people who a short time ago lived in this valley. The stock of the company is placed at 31,500.000, of -which 31,000,000 Is common, and 3500,000 preferred stock. The plantation In whose develop ment it" Is interested contains, accord ing to the prospectus, 9970 acres of tine fertile land - on one of the "benches" by which the surface of Mexico. rises from the sea level to the Rocky mountains, some of whose highest peaks are situated in that country. The main line of the Mexican rail way runs through the plantation, af fording excellent connection with the most populous part of Mexico and with the coast port of Vera Cruz, port of call for ships trading In all parts of the world. In the words of the prospectus: Wlrat tin lrotiecUis Slions. "There is at present about 2000 acres cultivated in sugar cane; 1850 acres In coffee, and 1500 acres in com. rice, bananas and sundry crops about 3300 acres more is 'cleared' land and ready to plant with but lit tle work In taking off the brush and small vines, etc., and 1500 acres is In virgin oak forest. ' "The plantation Is In. one of the very choicest locations in all Mexico, land practically level with i regular fall of about 80 feet to the rillje, an average elevation of 2000 feet,' fine healthful climate, no irrigation re quired, and with un abundance of fuel, water, transportation, labor, pro ductiveness and everything at hand and now producing profits, even with the primitive methods heretofore used; and with better cultivation, bet ter implements and machinery, and more economical handling of the pro ducts the net revenues can be doubled and quadrupled." The plantation is an old one, where the comparatively thriftless methods of the Mexican have long been In ef fect It is planned by the company to supersede these with modern busi ness methods and American energy. Modern sugar refining machinery will be Installed at a large cost, which will turn out the loaf sugar of the American table, a variety which is not manufactured In Mexico and which sells there at a high price. The plantation will be devoted to a much greater extent to the raising of sugar, whose acreage will be near ly trebled, and these Improvements, along with business methods, It Is calculated, will yield the investors a fair profit, and work to the advantage of the natives on the plantation. Those from the Walla Walla valley who are Interested In the new com pany are W. P. Winans, W. 8. Off ner, U. H. Berney, O. P. Jaycox and A. K. Dice Of Walla TCalla. n V Nichols and G. A.

Well Known Mining; Man Says Con ditions Are Bad, as Reported. C. A. Turner, a miner and pros pector who Is well known In many Northwestern mining camps, arrived In Portland yesterday from Tonopah, and Goldfleld, sore In body, wiser, but wearied in mind and thoroughly disgusted with himself for having been tempted to drift with the crowd into a "boom camp," as he charac terizes the Nevada desert district, says the Portland Telegram. Four months ago Mr. Turner, who is a pioneer prospector, left Baker City for the new Eldorado. He spent three and a half months In the camps and says that If he had been detained 10 days longer he would never have come out alive. 'Maladies developing from the breathing of dust that arises from the soli, are prevalent, and con ditions .are not at all inviting, In bis Judgment "There Is something In the soil at Tonopah that Inflames the mucus membrane and particles breathed into the lungs cause great distress." he said. His Hps are still sore, although now rapidly healing, and he referred to their Inflammation as an example of what happens with many persons. HOTEL ARRIVALS. ... Hotel St. George. L. W.

Mrs. George Hays, living at No. 223 Lllleth street, corner West Bluff street, says: "I can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to all sufferers from backache and other kidney Ills, with utmost confidence that they will do everything that has been claimed for them by those who have used them, as well as by the makers. The trouble for which I used them was principally backache, with which I had been troubled for a long time. It hurt me badly when I stooped to do any housework that caused a strain on the back. I read an adver tisement about Doan's Kidney Pills, and decided to try them, feeling that they could not harm, even It they did no good. I got a box In the store of Brock A McComas Co. and used only one box, as that was sufficient to relieve the backache and I have not felt It since." For sale by all dealers. Price EO oents.
