ARE NOT MAIL BOXES.
Firemen Object to People Leaving
Mail at Alarm Boxes.

The Walla Walla fire department has
requested the Statesman to ask the
public not to push letter into or leave
newspapers on the fire alarm boxes
The United States does not recognize
a fire alarm box as a mail box and
mail matter deposited at fire alarm
boxes will not be taken up by the pos
tai officials.
The department would also like to
have the Statesman inform the public
how to ring up the alarm. The first
thing TO do is to break the glass over
the key. The glass can be broken by
striking it with a rock, or a pocket
knife. or lead pencil. or jamming the
elbow through it. or putting the fist
in the coat pocket and hitting it
biff. or any other convenient way:
then pull down the lever and let it go
Then stay at the box till the ffremen

EcTRIC COMPANY MASTERING
FORCES ON WALlA WAllA
RIVER.
M.naoer Allen Paid Visit to Camp and
Falls in With Fierce Storm
Coming Home.

Manager r. F. Allen of the North
western Gas & Electric company re-
turned to the city last night from a
short trip to the south fork of the
Walla Walla river where preliminary
work toward the construction of the
companys new power plant is well
under way.
There is much work to be done be-
fore actual construction work begins
Manager Allen said this morning.
Camps for the men must be estab-
lished along the right of way and the
roadway fixed up so that machinery
and supplies may be shipped in. A
new wagon bridge across the Walla
Wana at the Neibergall place is also
necessary and Will be put in as soon
as the present high water subsidies. 1t
will probably be ten days or two weeks
before any, considerable force of men
will be put to work.
The first work will probably be on
the new reservoir which will be locat-
ed on the south hill side opposite the
this will be stupendous task alone.
The company Will probably have 200
men employed by early summer and
the work is to be rushed along as fast
as possible"
Fell in With Storm.
Manager Allen returned to the city
by team last night just in time to en-
counter the full force of the electrical
and rain storm which swept over the
valley. Together with the foreman of
construction work the trip was made
to Milton in the afternoon in heavy
rain. The foreman stopped off at Mil
ton and Mr.. Allen continued the jour
uey on to Walla Walla alone. \ mile
or so out of Milton fierce storm from
the east broke over him. This had no
sooner passed over when another driV-
ing in from the west was observed. In
speaking of it's fierceness Mr.. Allen said
he had to lower the buggy top to keep
from being overturned by the wind
which blew a gale. The rain fell in
torrents soaking him to the skin and
the team was badly frightened at the
vivid lightning and thunder. Alto
gether it was not a very pleasant jour
ney and he was glad when the team
drew up at the livery barn.
