Well, guess that is a few, for a town like Walla Walla," said a well known citizen yesterday afternoon, says the Walla Walla Union. "Two rival companies are thoroughly and syste matically working the town, and the amount of money they are taking away with them is not small," con tinned the gentleman. "The rival agents are selling refer ence books published by two rival publishing houses. One company has 18 men aud women in the city and the other hag three. I don't object to their selling their books if a person really wants them, but I understand they are resorting to all sorts of ruses to make the people believe their child ren need them, in order to loosen up the pnrae striugs of the parents. "Just now, as school is ready to open, and there is a change in the text books, the wily agent attempts to leave the impression that their books are a necessity to the children in order that they may be properly equipped for the school room Monday morning. Tbey have a great lot of indorsements from teachers and prin cipals as to the merits of the books and are showing these to the unsophisti cated. "I understand they twist the mean iug of the words in snch a manner as to make the person believe that the books are required in the city schools. I don't believe that some of our local teachers would have given the letters these agents presume to have if they had known the wnv thov nnnlit lu used." PLANT 100,000 TREES. Campaign Has Been Commenced by the ' Irrigon Fruit Grower. The Irrigon fruitgrowers' union meets Saturday evening at the school bouse to discuss reforestation in all its phases. Farmers and fruitgrowers about Irrigon are much interested in the matter, and it is predicted that fully 100,000 trees will be planted this season for windbreaks alone. The union has spent considerable time and monney in making experiments of different kinds and in securing opin ions from forest experts. Owing to their rapid growth and hardy . nature, Carolina and Lom bardy poplars are in great favor. By irrigtaion they are made to grow from eight to 12 feet the first year. aome larmers will also plant walnut and hickory trees every 30 or 10 feet, which will ultimately be a source of revenue and gradually replace the poplars and locusts. Others owning orchards will nlaut different srowina 4 L . of the mulberry, which, owing to the absence of acid in the berries, makes them especially desirable, as birds will not molest the orchards so long as they can get other fruits or berries. . - t AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Hpecial Sheep Tax Law Declared Un constitutional by Judge Kills. By a decision of Circuit Jndge Ellis the law passed at the last session of the legislature imposing a tax upon all sheep brought into this state from outside points, has been declared un constitutional. The decision was given in the case of W. P. Eeecer vs. Umatilla -county, which baa been pending since last fall. After having paid the tax imposed by the stock deputy Mr. Keecer brought snit to re cover the amount on the ground that the law was unconstitutional. The decision of Judge Ellis that the law is invalid holds that it is snch because it is a per capita tax and not a valuation ; and also because it pro vides for the taking of property with ont due process of law. The above decision is one of great importance to the sheep interests of Eastern Oregon, and settles a question that has been in dispute ever since the law was passed last winter. It is thonght that the decision given in this district will also be observed in the others, and that no further efforts will be made to enforce the law. Teachers' Contracts. The following teachers' contracts have just been filed with County Superintendent Frank K. Welles : Grace Edwards in district 98, near Saxe Station, six months' term. Char lotto E. Wail, district 86, near Wal- lnla, three months' term. T. F. Kendall, principal of Pilot Bock school. Eugenia McAllister, primary teacher. Pilot Rock, eight monttis' term. Jeanette McKinnon, district No. SO, seven months' term. Nearly all the contracts are for salaries of 1 50 per month. : Office Is Moved. In conformity to a recent order issued by Mr. Heney of the United States reclamation service, the office maintained in Pendleton in charge of J. T. Whistler is to be discontinued and moved to Portland, where it will be nearer to the larger proportion of the government irrigating projects under consideration. Mr. Whistler, who has been in charge of the office for two years, and his assistant, Her bert Yates, left for Portland last week, but W. C.
