immense Improvement over previous

and seems, in itself to be proof of the
possibility of issuing first-class
magazine in the west. The first page
shows a striking picture of an Ameri-

significant phrase The Chance"

TO WEED THEM OUT
Federal Immigration Off
Ger Now at Work.
EXAMINING THE LIST OF ALIENS
Will Arrange for Deportation Of All
Foreigners Held as Public
Charges.

Several weeks ago a special agent
Of the immigration bureau visited the
state penitentiary at this place for
the purpose of asecrtaining the num-
Der of alien prisoners who might be
deported under the provisions of the
new immigra ton act. From infOr-
nation obtained from the state board
of control it is learned that the
agent is now engaged in going over
the lists of inmates of the various
state institutions, the asylums, peni-
tertiary, reform schools, school for de-
fective youth, to Segregate those who
by reason of their nativity are entitled
to be wards of the state.
Certain regulations are provided by
the immigration laws of the United
States for the deportation of aliens
who become a public charge, and it is
for this purpose that the immigration
official is now employed.
While it is at present impossible to
ascertain the approximate number of
such aliens now inmates of the insti-
tutions of this state, it is said that it
may reach into the hundreds, and the
state will be relieved of a large bur-
den of expense by their deportation to
their native land, which is response
BILE for their keeping.

The first steps toward identifying
the race track property of the Walla
Walla County Fair association will be
the planting of $50 locust trees, the
work being commenced this morning
under the supervision of Director
James Kidwel. The trees were OBJ
tanned from the Whitney nurseries and
Will be planted in the open spaces
about the stables and paddock with
several rows in and about the grand
stand leading to the main entrance.
With the planting of the trees several
pretty drive ways will be laid out and
the grounds seeded down to blue
grass.
The next work toward improving
the grounds will be the blowing and
leveling of the field within the enclos
IRE and the ground east of the grand
stand which was left somewhat rough
when the track was constructed. The
infield will be seeded down to alfalfa
which will bring considerable revenue
to the association in another year.

AT THE MEETING NEXT TUESDAY
Will Consider Water Question and

AT THE MEETING NEXT TUESDAY

Additional names have been added
to the rolls of the Walla Walla Com
mercial Club within the past two days
which now brings up the membership
Of the organization to total OF ia.
The regular monthly meeting of the
club will be held at the city hall next
Tuesday evening at 1880 o'clock. Sec
rotary Mcdonald is now sending out
notices to the members requesting
them all to be present, as much I'M
portant business is to come up for
discussion.
One important subject that will be
brought before the club will be the
subject of the retention of Fort Walla
Walla as a military post. The water
question will also receive considera-
ton at the hands of the organization.
Several plans for the betterment of
the water service will be introduced
and discussed The matter of street
paving is also another important ques-
ton which will be talked over. This
is a problem that has been agitated
several llllleS before DS lie
men, but there has never been any
concerted action taken.

nent member of the club this morning.
when it is almost absolutely neces-
sary that Main and Alder and several
Of the cross streets should be paved.
That something must be done at once
is very evident, judging from the
present condition of the streets in the
business district. I believe that if the
matter is properly brought before the
city council, it will receive favorable
consideration from that body. Sew

been suggested and these will be taken
