A Small Blaze.

Z The L. D. s. meeting house Of
this city came very nearly going up
IN smoke last Sunday morning.
The ceiling caught fire from de-
fective flue, but was quickly DIS
covered. A large hole was burnt
in the ceiling, but otherwise not
much damage was done.
This is another reminder that a
water system is thing of necessity
in this mans town, and it is a thing
we must have before this city Is
thoroughly safe from fire.

describes the defeat, after giving

FOR FRUIT CANNERY
2EATTLE CAPITALIST WRITES
COMMERCIAL CLUB COMMIT
TEE REGARDING SUBJECT.
Is. Anxious to Put Money Into the
Proposition-Asks for Cooperation
by Local Farmers.

Joseph Merchant, chairman of the
Commercial Club committee on cam
merry, has recently received a letter
from Andrew Weber, a wealthy man
of Seattle, who some time ago wrote
President Turner of the club regarding
the possibility of establishing a can
merry in or near Walla Walla.
Mr. Weber is very enthusiastic over
the subject and is eager to take up
the proposition in this city. In his let
ter to Mr.. Merchant he says in part:
Il enclose herewith letters from Mr.
r. Wittke, of California, to give you
an idea, in a remote way, of how much
money it will require to establish a
plant Of course our calculations were
,, based on canning principally veget-
ables. but l am satisfied a profitable
business can also be done in canning
fruit. especially where fruit is sc
abundant as in your vicinity.
Now the point is this. In the first
place it is desirable to interest the

whole lot of money, as none of theil
products would go to waste, a ready
market being found at all times. Ii
regard to raising the amount neces-
sary for the establishment of plan
of this sort | would say that 1 would
be willing to entertain any reasonable
| proposition by which all interested
could make some money. l think
would have no difficulty in raising
$4,000, or possibly $4,000, and would
expect the citizens of Walla Walla tt
secure the balance, and then distrib
ute the stock upon an equitable basis
and capitalize at about $4,000
The letters from Mr. Wittke show!
what had been accomplished by man,

data as to the great returns that have
been made to the fruit growers of tina

Further correspondence is being hat
with Mr. Weber and the committee

smith And MCLEAN
ENGAGE IN A LITTLE COMEDY AT
The COUNCIL MEETING
LAST NIGHT.
Mclean Calls Him to Order and Smith
Accuses the Acting Mayor of
Being "the Whole Thing"

"The chair seems to be the whole
thing here,"
That was the remark made by Coun-
Gilman Smith at the meeting of the
city council when Acting Mayor Nc
Lean struck his desk with the gavel
when Smith was in the midst of a
speech he was making to the council.
The little tiff between the two coun-
cilmen was brought about by a COM
munication from the Commercial club
requesting the council to appoint COM
mittees 10 act in conjunction with
those appointed by the club to conSid
er the subject of securing additional
water for the city and to improve the
conditions of the streets.
When the communication was read
Acting Mayor Mclean said, that as the
council had standing committees APP
pointed to look after such matters,
and having the utmost confidence in
| their ability to handle such subjects,
| he would refer the communication to
| them with instructions to meet the
committees from the club.
| Smith arose and addressing the chair
| said that he thought the request of
| the Commercial club should not be
passed over so lightly and was about
| to suggest that a special cOmmitte be
named when Mclean called him to Or
| der. Smith ceased his remarks and re-
sumed his seat boiling over with rage.
He Immediately jumped to his feet
| again and asked to be excused from
lfurther attendance on the meeting
sayi.s the chair seems to be the
whole thing here" The acting mayor
refused the request stating that he
would rather not excuse the council
man as there was much other business
yet to be transacted. Smith again sat
down and the business of the council
was proceeded with
Ordinances.

ell.
Now comes forward John Y. Terry.
chairman of the democratic county
central cOmmitte, to announce positive
~ that he is not in the mayorality con-
test In conversation with a reporter
Mr.. Terry said:
He Is Very Hopeful.
POSITIVELY | am not a candidate for
mayor, nor will l become one. Not
that the office. or even the nomination
has been offerd me, but my name
has been connected with the nominal
ton as that of a possible aspirant in
ways which others seem to consider
warrant my making some definite
statemtnt in regard to the matter
Il am democrat and l shall do all
in my power to contribute to demo-
cratic victory in Seattle, in Washing
ton and in the United States next
year. l feel confident that with an able
democratic candidate for mayor we can
win in this city, that with a good ticket
we can win in this state, and there are
many things now which point to demo-
cratic national victory next year. If
we go in to win we have every pros
pect of being able to command victory
all along the line. But I am not a can
didate for the first place on the city
| ticket, and have no notion of becoming
one"
His Record Is Good.
| Mr.. Terry has for years ben a con-
sistent, active and hard working DEM
| ocrat. He has labored in season and
out of season for the advancement
! of the interests of his party. Last
year, as chairman of the county GEN.
trail committee, he led what proved to
| be a losing fight in this county, but
| the fight was made under such adverse
| conditions as to leave no reflection
upon the character of his leadership.
/ During the past three months his name
has been frequently connected with the
! mayOrality nomination of his party
| and but for his own action in refusing
to consider the matter, he might read
| ant for that honor.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Parry from
| the republican contest leaves in the
contest Mayor Humes, Councilman Ell
lis Morrison, Councilman J. w. erich
ton, and one or two other candidates
of some prominence More recently
the names of Milo Root of the legal
firm of Root, Palmer & Brown: E. c..
Neufelder, president of the Peoples
Savings Bank; ]. B. Meike. secretary
of the chamber of commerce, and j
w. Dickinson, president of the Alaska
Central railroad company, have been
casually mentioned.
:. Democrats Are Numerous.
On the democratic side the list of
names mentioned includes William
lPigott. Alfred Battle, William Hick-
man Moore, H. Kulies T. Nj. Daulton
and sevral others.
In connection with the mention of
the name of Judge Moore, it has been
pointed out that a clause in the city
charter appears to prohibit men,
Der of the state senate from holding
any elective city Office, but legal Opin-
ion as to it's specific applicability is
disputed by prominent attorneys of the
city. 1t is known that if accepting the
office of the mayor involved tender
ing his resignation as a member of
the state senate Judge Moore would
not consider accepting the nomination.
