FOR EXHIBIT AT LEWIS AND
CLARK FAIR

The Commercial Club deserves COM
mendation and hearty support in it's
effort to secure a creditable exhibit
from Walla Walla county at the Lewis
and Clark fair at Portland next year.
No better advertisement for the re-
sources and advantages of this county
could be had at smaller comparative
cost than through a comprehensive
exhibit at the Portland exposition.
Thousands of eastern people will visit
the Lewis and Clark fair and they
will give particular attention to the
displays showing the resources and
capabilities of various sections of the
Pacific coast. The Walla Walla valley
cannot be excelled by any section of
the world for desirability of climate
and fertility of soil, and to these
natural advantages are added many of
social and educational nature that
make it an ideal dwelling place. 1t is
a veritable garden of Eden with the
serpent cast out and Adam and Eve
left in
All that needs to be told of this
valley is the plain, unvarnished truth,
and that can best be told by an ex-
hibit showing the diversified products
of the soil and by pictorial and de-
scriptive circulars for free distribu-
ton.
This valley is capable of maintain
ing many times it's present population
in plenty and comfort and the greater
the population the greater will be the
prosperity of our business houses. 1t
is, therefore, of general Importance
that this county should be creditably
represented at the Portland exposition
and the county and this city, as well
as the other incorporated towns of
the county, should make liberal appro-
priations for the installment of a suit
able exhibit and the printing of ad-
vertising matter for free distribution
among eastern visitors at the fair

be sent to Mukden by the Siberian
railway, give Kuropatkin a total force
of some 400, 900 men to start southwark
once more and seek to overwhelm the
Japs by numerical superiority. Ac-
count, of course, must be taken of the
superior naval strategy shown, thus
far in the war, by the Japs, who. with
fewer battleships than Russia had
at the beginning of the war, and
fewer armored cruisers, probably were
stronger in torpedo boats and torpedo
boat destroyers. 1t has been, reported

The war in the Orient, SO far, has
confirmed the increasing conviction
that efficient sea power is essential
for the protection of a nations rights
and interests. Japan, without an eff

would have been oppressed by
Russia the weakest of sea powers so

The crucial test of Japanese strate-

PUBLIC DEMANDS CHEAPER

About a year ago several hundred
patrons of the Northwestern Gas &
Electric Light Company petitioned the
city council to use it's authority in
compelling the company to fix reason
able rates. The petition was turned
down by the council on the promise
of the management of the company
that rates would be reduced as soon
as the new power plant of the COM
pany on the Walla Walla river could
be installed and connected with the
city. The new power is now about
ready for use and the council should

RIGHT KIND OF PARCELS POST

A recommendation of the postmaster
general that will commend itself to
local merchants is that congress fix a
rate of three cents a pound, or any
fractional part thereof. on packages
not exceeding five pounds mailed at
the distributing postoffice of any rural
free delivery route for patrons on said
route. This is to apply only to pack
ages deposited at the local postoffice
for delivery to patrons on routes
radiating from that Office, and not to
mail transmitted from one Office to
another.
This. provision, if incorporated into
the postal regulations, would be
great convenience to people living on
rural routes and to local merchants.
No other kind of parcels post would
be fair and just to home merchants.
