WATER MAIN ROTTEN
Pipes on CALDER Street in
Danger of Breaking.
THE COMMITTEE TAKES ACTION
Will Begin Immediate Repars-W'lI
Lay an Additional Six Inch
Main.
THE COMMITTEE TAKES ACTION

In order to avert the possibility OF
a large portion of the city of Walla
Walla suddenly being deprived OF wa
ter for domestic purposes and fire pro-
lection, the water committee, at
meeting held last night, decided to I'M
mediateIy lay new six-inch main
along Alder street from PalOUse to
First.
1t was developed at the meeting that
the principal water main along Alder
street is in a very bad condition, the
pipes being SO rotten that they are IN
danger of bursting at any moment and
leaving about three quarters Of the
city without water.
superintendent Knight reported to
the committee that the pipe was un-
doubtedly leaking in many places ano
should it become necessary to uncOv-
er the main at any point between First
and Palouse, a break in the entire line
might be expected to follow immedi-
ately. 1t is also believed that the pipe
above Palouse street is almost as bad,
but as the pressure above PalOuse is
not so strong it Will probably last some
time.
The temporary repairs will be COM
menced at once and with the addi
tional main in position it will take but
a short time to turn the water into
the new pipe line.

The arguments of the attorneys If
the case of Mary McInroy and Henry
White, against the executors of the
Joseph L. StubbIefied estate, recently
brought to set aside a portion of the
Stubblefield will, was postponed in the
superior court this morning until Sat
urday. Owing to the absence from the
city of John H. Mcdonald, one of the
attorneys for the plaintiffs Judge
3rents continued the matter.
The executors of the estate, through
Attorney c.. M. RAIDER have filed de-
nurrer to the complaint of the plain
tiffs. The first ground set out in the
demurrer S that the court has no jur-
sdiction in the subject matter of the
action or of the person of the defend
ants or either Of them. The second
claim is that there is a defect of par
les defendant: third, that the action
has not been commenced within the
time limited by law, and fourth thai
