WELL PLEASED At EXPOSITION.
WalIa WaIIans Return From Trip to
Portland.

"The Washington building is the
cynosure of all eyes at the Lewis and
Clark exposition" declared Charles
Whitney, member of the county
Lewis and Clark commission, who, with
DR.. N. G. Blalock and Attorney John
H. Mcdonald returned from a trip to
Portland this morning. although
do not say to because 1 am a member
of the board, the Walla Walla county
exhibit in my estimation, is the finest
of any individual county exhibit in the
Washington building. 1t was good
enough that Vice President Fairbanks
and other prominent visitors at the ex-
position took the trouble to pay it
special visit and compliment us. The
exposition is the biggest thing of the
kind ever held in the west and already
thousands of outside visitors are pour
ing into Portland. Big eastern delega--
lions will soon begin to arrive ana then
we may expect many visitors in Walla
Walla."

WoMe Ions IMPROVING.
Does Not Worry SO Much and Takes
Jail Life PhiIosophicaIIy.

Wong Long, the Cninaman who end
ed the life of Eng Chung with pistol
bali, is on the high road to recovery at
the county Jail, where he is being held
pending his trial for the murder of
Chung. Wong Long was seriously ill
Saturday, but yesterday he showed
much improvement and today was feel
ing much better than any day since
ne was sliced up with a razor in the
hands of Eng Chung. Wong is taking
Jail life more philosophically than
heretofore. The changing of iron doors
and the noise made by the other pris-
oners does not CRATE on his nerves as
it did at first and as his wounds in
the neck do not pain him so much,
Wong was quite cheerful today.

NEGRESS CONVICTED OF KILLING
HER HUSBAND BROUGHT TO
PRISON YESTERDAY.
Was Originally Charged With Murder
in the First Degree but Got of
With MansIauahter.

The female population at the peni-
tertiary was increased yesterday by
the arrival of Susan Rumbeaux, a ne
gress who will serve a sentence of
two and one-half years for manslaugh-
ter. The woman was convicted at
Seattle ten months ago for shooting
and killing ner husband. After her
conviction and sentence the woman
gave notice of an appeal to the supreme
court, but as it was never perfected
the appeal was dismissed last week
and the woman ordered placed in the
penitentiary to serve the sentence i'm
posed.
The woman was tried for murder in
the first degree but the jury found her
guilty of the lesser crime. She shot
her husband while he was passing
through the yard surrounding their
cabin with an armful of wood. The
woman always has maintained that she
was shooting at target and that he
stepped between her and the mark at
which she was firing before she saw
him. Before he died the husband made
statement to two Seattle detectives
completely generating the woman and
declaring that the shooting was acct
dental. The court would not admit the
statement of the husband as evidence.
Before marrying the woman was we'll
known as a habitue of the restricted
district
William Griffith, alias w. E. Jackson,
alias John Downing and other names,
was brought to the prison yesterday in
company with the Rumbeaux woman.
He was convicted of forgery and will
serve a three-year sentence.
Since last summer the felon passed
the merchants of Seattle. The amounts
that he obtained by his forgeries were
small and the total would not probably
exceed $500. The man was tried under
the name of William E. Jackson, on
the last day of March, but the jury
acquitted him. From the day he gain
ed his liberty until he was rearrested
last week he lived off the fruits of his
forgeries. When arrested last week he
pleaded guilty and received a three
year sentence. His plea of guilty was
entered in the hope of escaping with
the minimum sentence, but Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney Vanderveer and
Judge Griffin recognized him as an old
offender.

supply we'll being sunk at the head of
Lincoln street in the city park will be

down a depth of 81 feet yesterday, but
the supply of water so far developed
will not exceed $4,000 gallons every "a

huge springs which supply water for

ment was of the opinion that splen-

AN ARTICLE WHICH RAY SUTH.
ERLAND HAD WRITTEN ON
WAllA WAllA.
Was Proud to Claim Garden City NJ
His Native Town-short
n Essay.

It is gratifying to know that the late
Ray Sutherland, to whom so many
tributes of respect have been paid by
his townspeople. was himself lover
of Walla walla, the place of his birth.
While at the University of Washing
ton, which he had been attending for
the past year, he wrote, as part Of his
English work, short essay entitled,
my Native Town." This paper mas
just been found among others return
ed to this city. Nothing coming at this
time could so we'll express the young
mans debt of gratitude to his towns
people and it is quoted in full:
"My Native Town."
1T is not at all surprising to hear
someone say that he has no native
town. Especially is this true with
people who have moved about many
times during their earlier years. For
my part, am ever willing to look with
pride upon my native home.
THAT little city is Walla Wal1a. To-
Gated in the southeastern portion of
the state. have said little and this
1 will grant as true when the age Of
the place is considered. Those who
know say that Walla Walla is the old
est town in the state. This assertion
is based more than anything else upon
the early installation of mission post
at Waiilatpu, and the founding of Fort
Walla Walla. While these were not al
together permanent the little city of
Walla Walla stands today as direct
outgrowth of these earlier settlements.
"Walla Walla has not made the
strides in development so characters
tic of the coast cities, but can lay UNI
disputed claim upon her steady, ever
increasing prosperity.
"One element of wealth in this con-
nection is her beauty. This is notice
able more, than at any other time, in
the early autumn when the green of
all Vegetation mingled with the faded
yellow stamps upon the observers
mind an indellible picture. Underly-
ing this dainty scene there lies more
substantial background. The streets,
wide and roomy, are lined with SER
viceable business blocks and elegant
residences. Some of these fine houses
are the winter homes of farmers, who
might be said to have the welfare of
the community in their hands; for
Walla Walla situated, as it is, in the
center of a farming region, depends
very largely upon it's agricultural re-
sources. Should the farmers have a
poor year the town will feel it; and On
the contrary, favorable seasons, such
as the few just passed, have a Won
derful effect on the city's progress.
Everything considered, 1 am proud
to claim Walla Walla as my native
town, because 1 believe that in the
coming years this little city will be
able to keep her place along with the
other growing centers of the west"
