that power for several times the pres
ent requirements of the plant can be
generated there.
The compnny's plant on the south
fork of the Walla Walla river, in
Umatilla county, has been put out of
business three times since May, 1908,
by disastrous floods. The engineer
who located the plant made a serious
mistake, It Is said, by placing it in
the bed of the river instead of exca
vating a place for it In the rocky wall
of the canyon. To build a new plant
would cost a fortune. This plant fur
nishes electrlo light nnd power for
Walla Walla, Pendleton, Athena, Mil
ton nnd Weston.
Since the Walla Walla street car
system has been In operation the plant
has been more heavily taxed than ever
and completion of the Interurban line
from Walla Walla to Freewater and
Milton will about exhaust Its capacity.

Novel Method of Keeping Walla
WuU.-i Trolley Cars Moving.
A trail of salt eight miles long Is
to he strewn along the streets of
Walla Walla, says the Walla Walla
.Statesman.
The salt is to be dropped along the
e.lKe of the rails of the street car
tracks In order to melt the ice which
causes the cars to slip.
This Is the plan ty which the Walla
Wall:) Valley Traction company pro
poses to wage war on "king frost."
The coating of Ice on the car tracks
during the cold snap has considerably
hampered the progress of the trol
leys Rrooms with stiff steel bristles,
have been used to brush out the ac
cumulated snow and Ice on the
curves, but it is impossible to clear
the whole track In this way. Some-
limes a car stops in the middle of a
straight stretch cf track because the
icf has done away with the neces
sr.ry friction between wheel and rail.
In large cities this difficulty Is met
by srrlnkllng silt along the rails.
The well known affinity of the salt
for mow causes the latter to melt
repldly even in freezing weather.
The salt is distributed from a little
purh car, which is run in front of
the motor car. The car contains a
huge funnel full of salt. This fun
nrl tapers down to two little narrow
silts near the rails. The motion of
the Tar shakes out Just enough salt
through these slits to accomplish the
desired result.
It !c said that loose salt thrown in
the sink will "thaw out" frozen water
plies If the freeze is below the sink.

An enlarged plant, more certain
power and uninterrupted service are
desired by the Northewestern Gas &
Electric company, which furnishes
light and power for Pendleton and to
secure these advantages it Is possible
that the company will seek a new
power plant on a larger stream than
the fork of the Walla Walla river,
upon which the present plant is lo
cated.
The rapid extension of the electric
service of the company is making de
mands upon it from every quarter and
with the completion of the Walla
Walla electric street car system and
the suburban line to Freewater the
present capacity of the system will be
taxed heavily.
A special dispatch from Walla
Walla says of the plans of the com
pany: The Northwestern Gas & Electric
Light company, owned by Philadel
phia capitalists, which recently came
into possession of plants at Walla
Walla, Spokane, Baker City, Pendle
ton, Milton, Weston, The Dalles, Sa
lem, Eugene and other places In Ore
gon and Washington, finds that it
has reached the limit of its capacity,
and is now looking for another source
of power.
It Is stated on good authority that
the company has about decided upon
making use of falls In the Deschutes
river In Oregon to generate power for
plants In both western Oregon and
eastern Oregon and Washington. En
gineers who have examined the Des
chutes falls have given an opinion
O. R. A N. Is Out of Fuel on the
Washington Division.
Walla Walla, Jan. 16. Freight
trains on the branch lines cf the O
R. & N. will be held up until to.
morrow noon, having betn pulled off
yesterday for 4$ hours. Freights on
the main line are moving and will be
kept moving to bring in coal If noth
ing more.
District Passenger and Freight
Agent Robert Burns said this morn
ing that the company had plenty of
coal to keep passenger trains run
ning having received a supply last
night. Passenger trains being late
is not occasioned by shortage In the
coal supply. The public certainly
must understand that if
coal enough to run at all It can run
on time so far as coal is concerned
nnd delay Is due to other causes-
lie greater the delay the greater the
draft on the coal.
On the W. 4 C. R. trains are run
nlng regularly, though somewhat late.
Officials say they have assurances
that coal will be received right along
a car or two, and perhaps more
every day.
That another desperate shooting
affray in the tenderloin district wns
narrowly averted Inst evening is very
probable, and hnd It come off It would
likely have produced even bloodier
results than the one In which Offi
cer Waters figured recently. Basil
Purr, the half breed Indian, was the
bad man with the gun, and in the po
lice court this morning he was fined
$25 for carrying a concealed weapon.
Complaint was made to Marshal
Gurdane yesterday that Porr and a
white friend of his named Monk
shanks had robbed the Oriental of
$50 the night previous. Accordingly
the two men were found yesterday
by the marshal and Officer Sheer.
They were then' taken to the Oriental
to confront their accusers. When
first taken a gun wns founu on Monk
shank and it was taken from him by
the officers. However, they made no
search of Parr and did not know he
had a pistol.
While the entire party wns nt the
Oriental the officers stepped into a
side room for a moment. Glancing
out they saw Parr take a pistol from
his pocket and proceed to load the
same. Immediately Marshal Gurdane
demanded the gun nnd It was forth
coming. In explanation of why he
prepared his weapon for use Parr
said he was afraid there might be
macnues about the place who would
attack him. However, he was regard
ed by the officers as being In no dan
ger from such a source and they be
lieve Parr had some intentions ot
making a "getaway," or else wanted
to be prepared in case he should mix
in a fight with' the police.
In court this morning Parr was de
fended by Judge S. A. Lowell and the
case was tried out at length, City At
torney McCourt appearing as prose
cutor. At the conclusion of the case
a 125 fine was imposed by Judge Fltz
Gerald who declared there was no
longer any reason why a man in Pen
dleton should be adorned with a gun,
and held that the custom was repre
hensible. The fine was not paid ami
Instead the prisoner went to jail
The larceny case against Part and
Monkshnnks was not taken up owing
to lack of evidence.

Seems Easy to Allvviutc With Cn-h on
Delivery.
F. F. Johnson, president of thj
First National bank ot Wallace and
the First National Bank of Twin
Falls, arrived last evening, says the
Boise Statesman. He is on his way
to attend the annual meetln? of the
latter Institution. Speaking of con
ditions in the Coeur d'Alenes last
evening he said the business of the
mining companies had been Interfer
ed with very seriously by the coal
shotrage. The effect arises peculiar
ly. There the railroad people are
obliged to take very poor coal from
some mines In Prltish Columbia and
In Western Wuhlngton. This will
not make steam and the ore trains
cannot deliver much more than halt
the usual amount of ore. The Fed
eral company Is handling only 600
tons a day instead of the normal
amount of 1200, and It 1s all because
of the character of the coal. The
train crews are simply worn out with
their endeavors to kep things going.
Mr. Johnson tells an interesting
story of the manner In which they
secured a partial coal supply there
for domestic purposes. Over nt the
Uridger mines in Montana the man
nger refused to make any shipments
without the money. When the coal
dealer at Wallace learned that a
plan was quickly arranged.
He had Mr. Johnson telegraph
itje bank nt Prldger S3000 with In
structions to pay it over to the coal
company as fast as the lntter turned
ever bills of lading. The next day
train of 15 cars of coal started for
Wallace. The fund was added to as
needed, and three cars have been
cured dally since.
Mr. Johnson makes the further In
teresting statement that the north
ern raids made a rate of 56 a ton on
anthracite coal from Chicago to Wal
ace. The coal cost $5.60 in Chicago,
making a total of $11.50 laid down
At that cost It is far cheaper than
the soft coal.
Governors of Oregon uml Washington
HcftiMO Requisitions.
Governor Mead yesterday afternoon
sent the following letter to every
prosecuting attorney In the state of
Washington:
'I desire to inform you that Gov
ernor Chamberlain of Oregon, has re
fused to honor my requisition on him
for the rendition of a certain fugitive
from justice of this Btatc on the
ground that the requisition was based
on an Information filed by the prose
cutlng attorney In tho superior court,
and has ruled that requisitions based
only on Information are defective.
Therefore, I must decline henceforth
to issue requisitions on the Governor
of Oregon unless they are bused on
Indictment by a grand Jury or a com
plaint before a committing magistrate."
Willamette Traffic Tied Vp.
The storm tied up the freight de
partment of the s. r. company
throughout the Willamette valley
this week, hut it was released on
Wednesday when Cottage Grove mer-
chtnts received three cars, with a
fourth on a side track this side of
Eugene, says a Cottage Grove paper.
Thirty cars of general merchandise
are on the side tracks at Junction.
The congestion at Junction Is said to
be due not so much to the storm as
to a shortage of fuel, both coal and
oil. Several engines in the yard at
that station are dead for lack of fuel.
It Is not Just plain why the company
allows that thing to happen.
