Hamilton, Walla Walla agent for Hamilton-Rourke Com pany, says the crop prospects are good in his territory, though the acreage is smaller than last year. There is little trouble with Chinese lettuce and tarweed, but the goph ers are doing an immense amount damage, having destroyed hun dreds of acres of grain. Mr Ijara ilton states that the farmers in the vicinity of Walla Walla are going extensively into diversified farm ing, and when fully established in that line will be in a measure in dependent of the wheat crop.

It is hoped that this grain will prove a paying crop. As one goes north from Walla Walla, the condition of the crops become less promising. In the vicinity of the city crops ap pear to be not so far advanced as in Umatilla county, though wheat has begun to head out and will not be long in maturing. Law Protects Blacksmiths.

The city council convened in regular monthly meeting . Monday night. Mayor Mollis and council man Spencer absent. Councilman Kirk presided, the reading of min utes of previous meeting was dis pensed with and the board proceed ed to business. Under, the head of petitions was one from city marshall Gillis ask ing the privilege of tapping the main at his residence, the same to be paid for by him out of his sal ary, instead of Cash. His petition was granted. The marshal made a report re garding the condition of the fire bell. He had found it to be wrench ed .considerably out of shape, the result, perhaps, of the recent high wind, which warped the city hall to the extent that it had a friendly leaning toward the east. He also found that when the bell had been Eut up, several springs,, that have een found, by taking a trip to Pendleton and examining the bell there, to be very essential to satis factory results, had been left off the bell. The marshal was of the op inion that a tower for the bell could be built, by erecting two posts on the outside of the building and bringing the bell over the opening at the top. This would do away with the annoyance now experienc ed in ringing the bell, by the rope catching in the holes through the roof and ceiling. Mr. Gillis also furnished esti mates for erecting a rack to drain the hose. The council instructed the marshal to straighten un the bell, make new and larger holes for the rope to pass through, and con struct a fifty-foot rack suitable for draining the hose. ' Like a bolt of thunder from a clear sky, fell upon the ears of the council the modest request of the marshal, that his salary as mar shal and water superintendent, be raised from $50 to $75 per month. Mr. Gillis said that while he would not resign if the council did not see fit to raise his salary, the amount he was now receiving did not com pensate him for the labor the office required, from tbe fact that mucn of the work required on the water system necessitated the efforts of two men; that be merely asked tbe council for what he thought was justice in lieu of the labor the of fice demanded at tbe present time. No action was taken by the board m regard to the matter, ' The hose question came up next. The bfty-foot section that is now burst will probably be made good by tbe company from whom it was purchased, as it is guaranteed for three years. Councilman Cox thought it a good idea to hold on to tbe guarantee, as he was of the opinion that it was a good thing to have from the fact that be was of the opinion that rubber hose was the best, and characterized the cot ton hose now owned by the city as being inferior, and said in three years time the city would have none. , ' The water rate for livery stables was lowered from $5 to $3 per month.
