OFFICERS ELECTED LAST NIGHT

The closing meeting Of the Walla

one of the most successful cOnVen-
tons ever held in the history of the

mess coming before the meeting las,
night was the election of officers fol-
the ensuing year, which resulted as
follows:
President, Prof. H. S. Brode; secre-
tary Prof. John Woods; treasurer, A
NJ Cation; executive committee, Mrs
Josephine Preston, Prof. Cooper and

spring address on THE Issue of Your
Life" This was followed by special
music. The closing address was made
by Mr.. Merritt, state secretary and
field worker. During the evening a
special collection was taken UP for
erasing a deficiency of Sill that had

GROCERS IN ARMS
Are After Pend|etou "Cut
Rate GroCerS
INVADING LOCAL HOTEL BUSINESS
Four Carloads Of Groceries Alleged to
Have Been Shipped Direct to
Local People.

The Walla Walla Grocers and Mer-
chants Association, organized several
| months ago for the mutual benefit OF
| local retail houses, is up in arms
against the methods being employed
by PendletOn grOcers in an effort to
capture the bulk of the trade of local
hotels and restaurants. According to
one member of the association a Pen
dleton grocer has personally visited
and solicited trade from local hotel
keepers offering cut rates on staples
and fancy goods. AS a result of this
solicitation it is alleged that no less
than four carloads of groceries and
cured meats have been shipped into
Walla Walla within the past month,
practically annihilating the trade re-
lations with local grocery houses.
By evading the usual running ex-
penSes that confront the local bust
ness house to do business in the way
of rents, clerk hire and numberless
items of expense, the outsider is able
to undersell the local merchant some
what provided he is able to catch bus
mess which in this particular instance
it appears he has been able to do.
I'VE are not averse to meeting any
legitimate competition, and in fact
We rather like it, as it stimulates
trade, but the association, and in fact
every local retail grocer in the city,
tDln to tl,a 1afh hath or
employed by outside merchants" Pres
ident Mclean, of the local association
said this morning. There is hardly
any way to keep out this class of "cut
rates. only to appeal to the persons
purchasing goods outside to be patri-
otto enough to patrOnize the home
merchant and work for the upbuilding
of the citys business by trading as
far as possible with home houses.
Every local grocer doing business has
TO set aside a certain per cent of his
annual sales for doing business. These
outside merchants by landing their
goods in the city in carload lots and
making immediate delivery are able
to undersell a trifle the local mer
chants, but if every one did this
where would our local business houses
be within a year?
The national organization of re-
tail merchants is now taking up the
matter with congressman from the
different states and some sort of legis-
latiOn Will be asked for protection.
The matter may come before the in
ter-state commerce commission for
adjustment

HIS WIFE APPEARS ON Scene

George Jones, a butcher who has
been at different times in the employ
Of the Kaufman Meat company, and
Gus Harras, is missing and many bus
mess men are out considerable money
due them on account. The, principal
loser by his sudden departure is liv-
cry stable firm, to whom Jones is al
legged to be indebted quite a large sum
Walla Walla about six months ago and
was engaged in the butcher shops
named until last Saturday night. 1t
appears that when Jones came to
Walla Walla from North Carolina, he
was accompanied by his wife and
child. whom he left in Pendleton.
Jones represented himself here as an
unmarried man, and being a man Of
prepOseSSing appearance, it was not
long until he was keeping company
He made a good fellow of himself by
escorting the young ladies to theaters
and taking them buggy riding on Sun
days. During his residence in the city
he made several trips to Pend1eton to
visit his family, but recently he dis
continued his visits. This neglect
caused his wife to become suspicious
and with her 10-year old boy came to
Walla Walla last Sunday to look him
up. Her sudden appearance on the
scene created much excitement among
those who had been led to believe that
Jones was a single man. Not having
the courage to face those whom he
had deceived, he took the train Sunday
evening. presumably for Montana.

qualities can be surprised at the great popu-
larity Of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It
not only Gu es colds and grip effectually
and permanently, but prevents these dis
eases from resulting in pneumonia. Il is
also q certain cure for Group. Whooping
cough Is not dangerous when this remedy
is given. 1t contains no opium or other
harmful substance and may be given as
confidently to baby as TO an adult. 1t is
also pleasant to take. When all Of these
facts are taken into consideration it is not
surprising that people IN foreign lands, as
we'll as at home, esteem this remedy very
highly and very few are willing to take any
other after having once used II. For sale
