M Morris, who has been dig' sine a well on his place a mile east of Freewater, struck a fine vein water at a depth of feet. Grain Is ripening very rapidly and harvesting has begun In some places near here. There will be an average yield of about 30 bushels to the acre about here, while some will go a lit' tie better. In some localities the growers report that there will be yield of nearly 40 bushels. Miss Cordelia Bailey of Dayton, who has been visiting friends and rela tlves in this section of the country for a short time, has returned home, New Cars Arrive. Two new interurban cars for the traction company are now running out of Walla Walla to Milton. Thes cars are 56 feet long and are made especially for interurban traffic. They will fill a long-felt want In the car service. A large number of people are now employed at the cannery putting up cherries. The season will soon be over In this section, but vegetables and other fruits will be canned from now on. and there will be a big force employed. BIG SALE SATURDAY. Work on Pipe Lines Will Continue Un til Late Fall. Hermjston. July S Preparations are being made here for the big sale that will be held at the dam of the Umatilla project on Saturday next, when the horses, wagons and other equipments are sold at public auc tion. This is about the last of the work on the dam of the project. However, work on other parts of the project Is still being done. The pipe lines are only a little more than 40 per cent completed, and the hauling and laying will continue until late In the fall. Extremely warm weather has pre vailed in the west end of the county the past few days. Yesterday was the hottest day of the season. INDIA FAMINE CON DITIONS GROW WORSE 7 Despite the declaration of the Brit ish officials that they have the situ ation under control and that sufficient relief supplies have been provided to prevent any desperate suffering, re ports from the interior state that the famine conditions are dally growing worse. Over a million natives a,re declar ed to be on the verge of starvation, thousands are said to have succumb ed with In the last few weeks and gloomy prophesies are made that no less than 10.000,000 will be forced to subsist on charity or die miserably during the summer and autumn. While all of these statements can not be verified, owing to the secrecy of the government, which fears widespread Insurrectionary movement there is little doubt that India is fac ing a grave crisis. The recurrence of these terrible famines is due to several causes, most ly attributable to the Influence of the British government Four-fifths of the population are now entirely de pendent on capricious crops for their sustenance, and although great Irri gation works have been carried out, the state of agriculture Is still very unstable. Each peasant cultivates a little patch of land, which supplies the bare living for himself and his family Vh-n the crop fall they are faced with starvation. The British regime provides regular employment for only a fraction of the natives, while It has killed a great deal of the native In dustry and has imposed other condi tions on the people which work against the prosperity of the natives. The taxes are high, and the economic sytm Imposed by British rule Is un- sulted to the conditions of native life. Besides the millions of peasants who are liable to starvation at the slightest failure of crops, there Is an enormous population of beggars1 and worklessy people whose condition is entirely hopeless during a famine.! Many thousands of these are doomed to a lingering death from Inanition. The condition of the poor cratures affected by the famine is pitiful be yond words. Those who are forced to apply for government relief have been already living for months on half or a quarter their usual allow ances of food. Long experience has Inured them to living on next to noth ing. Many families have been living on a dally handful of dried peas, oc caslonally varied by wild fruit and roots, or even less palatable food. The famine being spread over a vast territory, thousands of the natives are miles from a government relief de pot, and many of them die because they cannot drag their wasted bodies to the depots. For every thousand persons who get relief, there must be as many who are too weak, or per haps too proud, to apply for It. MOSCOW SALOONS WILL FIGHT. Contend City Cannot Take Away Their I Licenses. Moscow Star-Mirror: Another of Moscow's salons has closed Its doors, , The state and county license under! which Joseph Nordhorst was run ning expired on the 30th of June at i midnight. The Commercial Bar on : Main street closed Its doors last week, i their county and state license having II expired on the 22nd of June. This! leaves Mosow with three saloons still doing business. Each of these! I three holds a county and state 11-1 cense which does not expire until next April. The ordinance recently passed by the city council will compel these sa loons to close after the 5th of August, at which time their city licenses will I have expired. From a source that; cannot be doubted the Star-Mirror has obtained Information to the ef fect that one and perhaps all three of these saloons will make an effort to continue In business until their1 county and state licenses shall have! expired. To this end counsel have been engaged both local and In Spo kane and the city may expect a stiff; ight to uphold its ordinance. The exact grounds upon which the sa loon men will base their contentions could not be learned, neither could tne names of counsel engaged. It Is1 believed, however, that the principal1 oint is that the city of Moscow can-! not pass a law which conflicts with the stae laws, and It is contended that' the ordinance In question does so I conflict, Inasmuch as It seeks to rro- hibit the sale of lijuor for which a cense has been granted by the coun- commislsoners under a state law. This legal battle will attract wlde- pread attention and the outcome will be awaited with keen Interest, Of course, It Is expected the test case will ! go through the supreme court.
