CHANGE FOR THE CLERGY.
Trip Checks instead Of Annual Per-
NIT Now Issued.

A new form of clergymen's permits
by the transcontitnental lines. Notice
to this effect was received in Walla
Walla today.
Heretofore the roads belonging to
the Transcontinental Passenger asso-
citation have issued, through the clergy
bureau of the transcontinental asso-
citation, an annual permit that entitled
the holder to half fare wherever pre-
scented. These permits were extended
to January 81 a few days ago.
The new system for the issuance OF
clergymen's permits provides that trip
checks, in the form of a small book
containing 100 permits, will be issued
February 1. Whenever a clergyman
desires to travel he will be compelled
to fill out one of these checks, show
ing the points between which he will
travel, and present it when he buys a
ticket The check must not be torn out
of the book, but will be stamped by
agents. The conductor on the trair
which reaches the restinatiOn of the
traveller will take up the check.
7 The new trip checks will not be goOC
for tickets purchased from conductors
though the holder has the privilege
of paying fare to the first station anC
there buying a haif-rate ticket.
No change has been made in the rule
that compels clergymen to file an APP
plcation with J. Charlton, joint agent
of the transcOntitnental clergy bureau
for permits. This must be done prior
to February 1, for the old permits vii
not be honOred beyond that date, anG
no rebates are to be allowed.

was possible to wash the mud off the
streets at almost any time during the
winter. There was no place now where
the water could be carried away and
if he used the hose to slush off the
mud now. the water would carry 1t
down to the lower end Of Main street
and that portion Of the street would
be as bad as in the business district
The mud came from two places. One
was from the bottom of the street, ooz-
ing up through the rocks and gravel
and a great deal was carried on tC
the street by wagons from the side

1t was decided after the discussion
that the matter should be referred tC

by Chairman Paine. The committee
will consist of five property owners ir
