FROM WASHINGTON STATE.

nr. and Mrs. S. H. Norman Write of Walla Walla County. Walla Walla, Wash., Jan. 14. Editor Democrat: As we get so many letters of inquiry concerning this country, please print this letter in The Democrat and probably it will answer all, as it would be impossible for us to write each one individually. The Walla Walla Valley is sitnated in the Southeastern corner of the state, is a gently sloping plain, whose mean altitude above sea level is about 900 feet. Beginning at the summit of Blue Mountain range, which here lies in a northeasterly and southwesterly direction, the country called the Walla Walla Valley for fifty miles, slopes at first gradually to the banks of the great Columbia River. The breadth of the valley is from ten to twenty miles, while lying to the North of this strip of country for 260 miles is a undulating prairie sometimes as level as a floor, at others, broken into hills and ridges, but never so rough as not to be subdued by the hand of man. Every mile or so a line of thorn, birch alder and cottonwood trees indicates the presence of water. Finally, far to the west, these all unite to form the rolling waters of the Walla Walla River. For 80 miles along its northern and western border the Walla Wal-

la country is bounded by the Columbia river and is navigable tributary to the Snake River. On account of this superabundance of water the indians called the country Walla Walla, literaly meaning water, water. The climate of Walla Walla Valley is milder than that of any other locality in the state. Many seasons the flowers bloom unprotected upon the lawns, every month in the year. There is just enough frosty and winterish weather to insure healthful conditions of the atmosphere, although during the months of July and August the days become warm, but the nights are always cool and agreeable. The average temperature 54 degrees. When snow falls it seldom stays on more than a few days, as the warm wind from the Japan current continually sweeps across the country. Every variety of fruit known this side of the tropices is grown here, and as the prunes are our favorite fruit they are raiseb in abundeqee. Vegetables of all kinds are raised here, as gardening is quite an industry. Realizing this many of the t'nrmers whose lands are suitable for garden lands are dividing their farms up into 10 and 20 acres tracts and selling it off to gardeners and orchardists. Of course this land comes high. At present the principal industry of the Walla Walla Valley is wheat raising. The wheat belt is divided into two distinct scopes of country, the first is the region of the foot-hills, which is from 10 to 18 miles in width and as long as the range of the blue mountain. The second comprises all the rest of the land in Walla Walla county.

There are four mills located in Walla Walla, some run day and night, and some mills run of Sunday as well. Two mills are run by electric power. The city of Walla Walla is a place of western push and energy, but without a boom. The spires of thirteen churches are conspicuous above the foliage, of the many shade trees, so that those of almost any religious belief may here find a congenial home. The schools are equal to those of any city in the Union, but of course somewhat different school books are used, | than those used in Indiana. Very likely you will find this the case | all over the Union. In Walla | Walla county alone there are 51 schools dristicts. The public ! schools are under the supervision lof a county superintendent. Tbe total number of children in the county is 3,807, of which number 2,822 were enrolled in the public schools, and 289 in the private, making the attendance 81,73 per cent. Every district must have three months school, and attendence is compulsory. The average number of school months last

year was seven. There is a college here named in memory of the Whitman massacre, also a fine monument is ereoted in tha city in, memory of the Whitmans and especially in memory of one D.jf. Whitman. The masaoree took place eight miles from the dlty. As for any of our inquiring friends thinking of coming to Walla Walla county and expecting to take a claim, will say that they will be disappointed, for all of the good land is taken, and improved land is beyond a poor man’s reach. So, as we can not homestead a claim, we will go where we can get a claim and hope we will find the climate as fine as here, for we have had nothing but summer, spring and fall. It has been so pleasant we will be sorry to leave. Now,' we feel we have written this to the best of our ability and and hope it will be satisfactory to enquiring friends, but as far as giving advice as whether to copie to Washington or not, just take our plan, if you wish to come, come on your own judgment and if not satisfied you will have no one to blame. We will say, also, we are not sorry we came. If some things are higher here, wages are also higher, and the more eastern people the better. We remain your friends as ever, Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Norman.

To Investigate Conditions in Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Texas and the Southwest.

Thomas Follen, passenger and ticket agent of the Wabash RailRoad, Lafayette, Ind., left Jan. 3, for the Southwest, to be absent one month, taking a tour of all the nations of Indian Territory, also Oklahoma, Texas and the Southwest. Through the courtesy of Hon. C. B. Landis, congressman from the 9th district, Mr. Follen has received considerable data from Hon. E. A. Hitchcock. Sec’y, of the Interior, which will enable him to make and intelligent and detailed investigation of the climatic condition, qtfality and prices of lands, validity of leases and titles to lands, crops, rainfall, etc. etc. The indications point to a very heavy immigration business to the Southwest in the eariy Spring of 1905, and Mr. Follen deeires to go over the land and make a personal investigation, which will enable him to give his Wabash patrons an intelligent account of conditions as he finds them.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Gossip of t h * National Gapftol. Special Correspondence to The Democrat: The President's announcement that he proposes to call the next Congress in special session, whioh has been authoritatively although not officially made, has occasioned consternation in the Senate where the old line, conservative leaders regard every proposition having •for its purpose the efctention of federal control over the railroads of the country as “socialistic” and abhorrent. Senator Elkins, chairman of the committee which has to deal with this class of legislation, and. who loves to see his name in the public press as* champion of railway reforms, but who ie always to be found piaciug obstacles in the path of any real reform, is in open rebellion and plainly intimates that the special session will accomplish nothing. “You may lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink,” is bin favorite mode of .declaring that nothing will be accomplished. Meanwhile he protests that legislation of importance can be effected at the regular session of Congress and then waste all the time of the committee in giving “hearing” to the representatives of all the railroad interests, to cranks, and, in fact, to anyone who will kill time and secure notice of the committee and its chairman in the newspapers. t t t There is no doubt in the mindo of those in a position closely to observe that the Republican administration is in a very delicate situation. War to the knife between the President and the majorities in both houses of Congress, is likely to break out any moment and if it does the majority in the House after the fifty-ninth congress, is certain to be Democratic. Meanwhile the Democratic press is contributing its ample share to the straining relations between the President and the Republican leaders and his impetuous even if sincere, efforts to accomplish legislation which will promote “the square deal” are proving a constant thorn in the sides of the ponderous stateman who constitute the conseivative element in the Republican party. t t t Every once in a while the President makes a real break, as in the case of the letter he sent to Senator Cullom regarding the arbitration treaties. The consideration of these treaties is executive business of which the public is supposed to know nothing and yet, with a frankness which proved a shock to the old fogies, the President not only sent the letter referred to but took pains to make it public, furnishing it to every newspaper man who called at the White House and asked for a copy. When Mr. Roosevelt makes these little slips the amount of enjoyment it affords the Democratic Senators is unlimited and they never fail to take occasion to “rub it in” to their Republican colleagues. There is still grave doubt that the arbitration treaties can be ratified without amendment, despite the fact the President has announced that he will withdraw them if they are altered. The Democratic Senators not only regard them as inimical to the interest of the South, but they feel that they were negotiated chiefly for political effect, during the campaign and for the purpose of disproving that the President was a “war lord.” Now the President has assured them that the treaties wilUnot be permitted to work any harm to the Southern States while he is President and as they run five years his provision; but the Democratic stateman insist that treaties which would be susceptible of perversion or which would enable an illdisposed President to work injury tq any section of the country ought not to be ratified irrespective of the promise or the honesty of a particular Chief Executive. t t t Democratic members of the Senate have adopted a wise polioy in their agreement not to filibuster or place obstacles in the way of any tariff bill which may be introduced at the special session which tfie President purposes to call. They have yielded, perhaps some political advantage, but they have made for the general good of the public by removing a real or fancied obstacle from the President’s proclaimed wish to lower tbe tariff dnties, and the thinking portion of tbe American people will doubtless realize and recognize the Bpirit in which political advantage has thus been sacrificed. t t t Despite the protests of Republican members of Congress from the Northwest, Secretary of the

Treasury Shaw seems determined to rale that the Minneapolis millers may import Canadian wheat, mix it with American wheat arid grind it into floor for export and then receive back the duty paid on each Canadian wheat as they allege to be in the exported flour, in the form of a “drawback.” > It baa been clearly pointed out to tbe Secretary that tbe law provides, that tbe amount of the imported wheat on which the drawback is allowed must be “apparent,” but Mr. Shaw insists that tbe proportion of the Canadian wheat, when vouched for by tbe millers, will be “apparent to the mind, although not to the eye.” Of course the reason that Secertary Shaw indulges in such a fallacy is that any other decision by him would interfere with a common and cherished practice of the Steel Trust; namely the importation of foreign ore, the blending it with American ore, and then claitping and receiving the drawback on the exported article, on the Trust’s assertion of the proportion of foreign ore contained in the finished product. For years the farmers have been told that they were protected by the duty of 25 cents a bushel on wheat although the price on the Liverpool market has always determined the price of Amerioan wheat. Now, however, a short crop in this country has pat up the price to the millers and is really affording some benefit to the farmers, and of course the millers protest and find a way with the connivence of the Secretary of the Treasury, of robbing the farmers of the enhanced price which would, in a measure, ipake up to them for the partial loss of their crops. The result of this ruling, which is expected daily, will be to compel the northwestern farmers to sell their wheat for the same price as the Canadian farmers, about 17 cents a bushel less than they are now getting.
