JOINT WHEAT RATE
IN EFFECT AU6. 20
Olympia, July J!o.—lt is announced :
at the office of the railroad commix-1
sion that the joint wheat rate order |
will be isxned August 1, becoming ef
fective twenty days thereafter.
It had been planned to issue the or
der about July 20, but its actual pro
mulgation has been delayed ten days. 1
It U now believed at the office of the I
commission that the order will be!
promptly acquiesced in by the rail
toads, and it is even regarded as prob
able that now joint wheat rate tariffs
will be issued by the railroads before;
the expiration of the twenty days
granted under the commission law for
orders of the commission to go into
effect.
At the office of the commission there
seems to be no information as to why
the railroads have changed their atti
tude toward the joint wheat rate order.
Until recently both sides were pre
paring for a contest in the courts.
But, whatever the reason, the word
bas gone out that the order will be
accepted and immediately acquiesced
in by the roads, and that tariffs will
be issued accordingly, in time for the
movement of this year's crop.
Sentence Paiied on 37 Mutineer*
Sevastopol, July !10.—A naval court
martial has passed sentences upon the

ity in the mutiny of the Black sea fleet

condemned to death, one to life servi
tude, thirty-two to varying terms of
penal servitude and fifty to imprison
ment. Six were acquitted.
Everette Ha« City Dock
Kverett, July !10.—The city council
has closed a deal wereby it becomes
the owner of the dock at the foot of
Hewitt avenue, built a year ago on
property leased from the oity. Ihe
dock and small warehouse thus ac
quired will become the lamliug point
for the mosquito fleet free of charge.
Congressman Do Armond has been

the theory was universally accepted
that a great American desert stretched

But there is one thing which Congress can do. It con
