The erection of the new O. R. & N.

formerly owned by E. J. McCormnch,
says the Walla Walla Statesman.
The O. R. & N. at the Inst session

New York June, 30. Mrs. Thaw
visited her husband in prison today.
The streets were deserted and her
presence created no particular Inter
est, i.
The announcement that the July
grand jury will consider the Thaw case
is 'responsible for the rumor that the

SEEKS TO TIE UP
IMPROVEMENTS
Asphalt Trust Uses Tactics of
Revenge in Twenty One
Cities in the Country.
ALLEGED JEALOUSY OF ITS
RIVAL IS THE CAUSE.
Letter to George Darveau Shows How
Other Cities Besides Pendleton Ha . .
Been HarrasKCd by Legal Proceed
ings to Stop Paving1 Falling to Se
cure Contracts the Asphalt Trust
Seeks to IVevent tlie Work Secured
by its Rival, the Warren Construc
tion Conipuny.
The asphalt trust of the United
States ts using the same tactics now
In Pendleton to block progress and
prevent devolpment, that It Is using in
every other city where It has not been
successful in securing a paving con
tract Instead of conducting a legitimate
business in Its line, It has adopted a
rule or ruin policy, which Is not
practiced In any other line of business
and wlhch Is not making friends for
the trust or Its productions, to any
degree.
Falling to secure a paving contract
in Pendleton In an open bid for pav
ing, because the material offered by
It was not equal to the material of
fered by the Warrn Construction
company, the asph-U trust Is now
seeking by every means at Its com
mand. It seems, to block the prog
ress of paving In Pendleton. Agents
of the company visit the city regular
ly, in the attempt to turn the mem
bers of the council and the taxpayers
against Its successful competitor.
George Darveau, of the Hotel St
George, has Just received a letter
from the manager of the Warren
Construction company, which has se
cured the paving contract In this city,
showing the tactics employed else
where by the asphalt trust to prevent
public Improvements where It has not
been successful In securing contracts.
The letter, tn part, is as follows:
"The attitude of the asphalt trust
in the United States and Canada has,
during the past five years taken the
following forms: First, to circulate
scurrilous and anonymous reports
over the country In the effort to prej
udice the public mind against bltu
llthlc paving; second, falling In this
they then say they can make "some
thing just as good," but fall to pro
duce any actual results, and failing in
both of the first pretexts, they then'
begin legal proceedings to stop Im
provements, on the slightest pretext to
be found In the proceedings.
"On this latter line ot policy 0y
now have one action In Massachusetts
one In New Jersey, one In New York,
five in Ohio, four in Indiana, three In
Wisconsin, one In Iowa, one In Wash
ington, three in Illinois and a number
In other places, making a total of 21
cities now tied up by this trust. In
all these places the trust has simply
stopped Improvement for revenge,
through some traitor found among
taxpnyers who will permit himself to
be used."
BUYERS RETURN FROM CONDON.
Wool Prices Depressed Because the
Product Was Not Clean.
After having attended the Condon
wool sale several of the woolbuyers
returned to the city last evening.
Among the number was Charles H.
Greene, representative of Koshland
Rros. According to Mr. Greene, about
600,000 pounds was sold at the Con
don sale, and thnt amount represents
all of the Gilliam county clip that had
been held for sales day. Only 60.008
pounds was withdrawn ,..
unsatisfactory price.
The prices paid at Condon were not
as good as were given at the sales
here, owing to the fact that the wool
Is not as clean. The nrl
Condon ranged from 14 to 19 cents,
and averaged 18 cents.
The next wool sale will be held at
Elgin.
