Twenty years ago a wealthy farm er, rated worth i7S.ti to xiuu.unii, Greenleaf Stacy, wrecked financially nnd physically, will soon be taken to the county poor farm because friends who have been keeping him for the pnst year have declined to pay for his support any longer, says the Walla Walla Statesman. Stncy, now nearly 70 years of age, accepted his fate philosophically al though It Is a hard fate, for a man as wealthy as he once was, to become a county charge in the autumn of life.

His broad acres were well tilled and money flowed Into his cof fers until he was well worth $100,000. The first misfortune overtook Stacy when his wife died. This was a hard blow for him and he became careless In his financial dealings. He lost heavily on several" deals. A brother In Seattle induced Stncy to Join him In building a magnificent residence In Seattle and "Stacy's Folly," a home that was famous in its time, was erect ed at a cost of about $50,000 by the two brothers.

Waanlngton, June 15. The army quartermasters on duty here are elat ed over the results of the experiment wjhich has been going on in transport ing supplies without the aid of con tractors. There has been considera ble expense In transportation by con tract. This work has been done after the public opening of bids, and it was found that the service was not en tirely satisfactory. In addition, the local teamsters entered into combina tion by which they materially In creased their prices for hauling of which the government does consid erable betwen the railroad and the quartermasters' depot at Fort Myer, Va., and other places of storage. As the quartermaster's depot was well supplied with wagons and horses nnd employed a large number of men, it was decided to do away with con tract transportation.

The systems will be permanently adopted, nnd the war department. In Its local transportation, will hereafter be Independent of con tractors. Changes In Postmatfers' Salaries. Washington, June 15.

The Indian police of the Umatilla reservation are kept constantly on pa trol duty to prevent the Introduction of whiskey Into the reservation and Major Edwards is exercising all pos sible vigilance to reduce the evil to a minimum, and yet In spite of this vigilance the traffic is constantly In creasing In this city.

Severn! saioons are becoming more and more bold In this traffic and un less something Is done by Pendleton to reduce the evil the government will be forced to tnke steps to protect th Indians. If a trading post Is estab llshed on the reservation nnd the In dlans forbidden to come to Pendle ton the legitimate business will suffer greatly nnd the government does not desire to adopt this extreme meas. ure as a means of protecting the In dlans from the vicious white man. but It Is evident that something will be done to stop whiskey peddling. If the city does not suppress the traffic by denying licenses to certain saloons which are known to mako a regular business of selling to Indians. LOOK OIT FOR FRAUDS.
