Gas, Electrical and Combination
Fixtures, Electric Plants Installed,
Accessories, ID North Second.

This is the day and age of the cleo
trical engineer and the future surely
belongs to him. Marvellous are it's uses
and still more wonderful will be the
development of this field. Mr.. Win
gard is a gentleman who has made
deep study of electricity in all its
phases and his establishment is we'll
equipped in every way. No contract
for electrical work of any kind should
go out of this section till he has been
seen as he will do anything in the line
and at reasonable figure. He ham
dies gas, electrical and combination
fixtures, installs complete electrical
plants, keeps a large stock of acces-
series of all kinds and keeps up to date
to the minute. This gentleman has
prospered here but it is because he met
all competition, is honest with every
body, and knows how to deal with the
public.

THE MINT CHOP HOUSE, OrteI &
Miller.

A good restaurant but one reason
able in price and neat and clean is hard
to find but these gentlemen operate an
establishment which suits our people
in every way The cooking is first
class, you are promptly and politely
served and there is bright, hOmelke
air about the place which makes It
very attractive. The restaurant bust
ness requires watchfulness and bust
ness capacity as the margin of proft
is small but these gentlemen give their
establishment personal supervision ana
they are therefore succeeding. Not
speck of dirt is to be found here and
nothing is left undOne to please guests
and retain their patronage. They are
always on the alert for new business
and it is safe to say that if you take

back. Trustworthy and up to date, We
feel they should receive proper men

THE EMPIRE BUSINESS COLLEGE,
w. p. Underwood, Pres.

The Empire Business College on it's
merits alone commands hearty praise
as it's record has been first class and
We do not think a better commercial
education can be obtained anywhere In
the Northwest. 1t is an honor to the
city and We should congratulate our
selves on having such a successful and
we'll managed institution located here.
The system of education is up to date
and approved by leading educators
and the college is doing excellent work.
Individual instruction is a strong fea-
ture of the course and the graduates
have no difficulty in finding lucrative
positions. There is not the slightest
reason why any one in this part of
the state should go outside Of Walla
Walla for instruction as long as Pro-
lessor Underwood's school is with US.

A. L. LORENZEN E. L. G. BARRON,
6E2 Main ST., Real Estate, Loans,
Insurance, Farm and Wheat Lands a
Speciality.

Real estate is advancing by leaps
and bounds but compared with values
in other cities this SIZE property is
still far too low. Now therefore is an
excellent time to invest and we have
some real estate dealers here who can
be depended upon to act fairly with
strangers and who have a fine list of
desirable investments. These gentle
men are among them and their trans
actions amount every year to thou
sands and thousands of dollars. They
are good judges of values, have al
ready made their mark as among the
shrewdest and most honorable real es-
tate men we have and we have yet to
hear the slightest criticism Of them.
Personally and in commercial circles
likewise their good name has never
been called into question: Their var
iOus connections are of the best and
when the roll call of thoroughly honor
able, square, real estate men is called,
these gentlemen should surely be there.
They make speciality of farm and
wheat lands.

ENOCH E. PERKINS. Turkish Baths
and Massage, Open Day and Night,
w. e. Perkins, Stencil Building.

Bathing is rapidly tax 'ng the place
of drugs and people more than ever
before are recognizing the fact that
there is nothing better than Turkish
baths and massaging. Here they can
be had to perfection. They are pat
rOnized by all classes of people ana
even doctors recommend their patients
to try them when all else fail. They
are open day and night, the accommo-
datiOns are excellent and both ladies
and gentlemen are catered to. They
rank among the best baths in the state
and we take pleasure in emphaticallE
stating that they have deserved their
success. We venture to say that there
is hardly an ailment which bathing
will not benefit or entirely cure ana
many in this section have been re-
stored to health and strength by these
baths. They are operated on hlgh
class lines, everything being conducted
according to the strictest propriety'
and these gentlemen are experts IN
their line Of good personal reputation.
This is the only establishment in the
city where scientific massage is given
with each bath.

Here is man who is master of all
branches of his trade and he may be
said to be an artist. For decorating,
sign writing, wall papering, etc. his
superior cannot be found in this Sec
ton and his recommendations from all
with whom he has done business can
not be excelled. His charges are in
variably moderate and his establish
ment fills the bill in every respect.
Having been for some years in this
line, he has built up a large and profit
able connection and no matter what
kind of a job you want done he will
bid as low as any one else on it and
guarantee perfect satisfaction. Per-
sonally, he is an active, agreeable, in
dustrious gentleman and his record
here is first class.

z. X. STRAIGHT, the JeweIer; Oldest
JeweIer in State; In WaIIa WaIIa
IS Years.

In every line there are leaders with
whom it is absolutely safe to deal,
whose reputation is as good as gold
and with whom a child could trade as
safely as a grown person could. This
gentleman has made a success of this
artistic calling and he carries a stock
which meets all the requirements of
our people. We do not think that any
money should be sent outside as long
as he is with us. He handles practic-
ally everything in the jewelry business,
does a large repairing trade and moth
ing was ever misrepresented here. OF
course we cannot do full justice to this
up to date and progressive concern
owing to lack of space but we take
pleasure in stating that it is very
creditable to our city and the volume
of business is growing fast. Full value
and the utmost courtesy can always be
depended on here. He is an honor to
our mercantile community and his
striking success has been the natural
result of fair dealing and progressive
ways. We wonder if all our people
know that Mr. Straight is the owner
of what is perhaps the finest diamond
of it's size in the world. 1t is blue
white, the rarest kind of stone and in
the trade it is recognized to be some
thing far out Of the ordinary. Every
jewelry drummer who comes here has
heard Of it. 1t is valued at $500.

If this establishment We're not given
due credit in these pages, we, would
be neglectful indeed as it has been in
operation here for many years and it
is first class in every respect. A line
of boots and shoes for men, women
and children is carried that challenges
comparison with any in eastern Wash
ington. Only the makes of the best
houses in the trade are sold including
the Banister and he makes a specially
of his fits. Only honorable business
methods prevail here and value to the
utmost is given for every dollar taken
in. The latest styles are to be had
here and if you patrOniZed the best
stores in the largest cities you could
not secure more fashionable footwear
or at a more reasonable price as this
gentleman meets competition every
where Mr.. Sell has won the conf
dence Of our people by his strict hon
esty and we do not think there is a
more prosperous store here than his.
His success shows that a square deal
is appreciated Mr. Sell is a thorough
gentleman and a tip top business man.
