Walla for the past year which will be

warded to Washington. The report

| local weather bureau, for the past
year.
A Jioklish Job-Glaziers were busy
! yesterday and today placing the plate
glass windows in the new Drumheller
building, at the corner Of Alder and
Second streets. The work is OF such
a, ticklish nature that crowds stood
around expecting each minute to see
one Of the big plates of glass smashed.
Six OF the windows were put in today
WITHOUT accident :.
| Still Very iit-Councilman J. z.
Smith. who was badly injured in a
runaway accident at Pasco six weeks
ago. is still very i'll at his home as a
result of the injuries received. Sew
eral ribs on the right side which were
broken and crushed are proving trou-
! blesome and it is feared that 1t will
be several weeks before he is able to
attend to business.
| Funeral Tomorrow-The funeral of
Alta B. Page, the six-year- old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Page, who
died yesterday of meningitis. will take
place from the Cookery undertaking
parlors tomorrow afternoon at l
o'clock. Rev. Henry Brown of the
First Methodist church will conduct
the services. Interment will take
place in the Odd Fellows cemetery.
Too Much Wind-So much wind and
so little rain these days is causing
farmers of the valley some little un-
easiness. The deficiency in the rain
/ fall since last September is nearly
| three inches and what little moisture
does fall is quickly absorbed by the
high winds which have prevailed the
past week. Farmers say that plenty of
| rain the next two months is needed
for early spring sowing.
| Plenty Of Hay-With country roads
in fair shape there has been plenty
| the past week to supply the local de-
mand. Loose timothy hay was selling
| for s13 at the city market today while
wheat and alfalfa hay was quoted at
| $40 and SO respectively. Most of the
timothy now being offered comes from
| the Walla Wala river low lands and
from the Weston neighborhood.
Revival Servces-A series of re
vival services will be held at the First
Methodist church commencing some
time the latter part of the month. The
! trustees of the church are correspond
| ing with a number of noted evangelists
toward securing their services for the
| meetings. DR.. Potter, one of the most
noted speakers in the middle west was
scheduled to be here, but owing to ILL
ness he was compelled to cancel all
| engagements in the west.
Genuine Spring Weather-In strange
are enjoying today compared with the
weather in the middle west and east
| ern states. The official thermometer
| registered IS degrees last night and at
5 o'clock this morning the tempera
| ture was up to SO degrees. A brisk
| chinook early this morning barred the
| foothills of a covering of snow and
made inroads on the heavy fall on the
| highest peaks visible from the city.
Future Champions-A couple Of
| messenger boys in the service Of the
| Postal Telegraph company amuse
themselves and pedestrians along the
| street by indulging in little sparring
match every morning when business is
| slack. The youngsters have bought
boxing gloves and are becoming so
| proficient in delivering left and right
hooks, uppercuts and "haymakers'
that it is possible that a future cham
pion is looming on the horizon.
Job Sought Him-Friends of Andy
Taylor, candidate for road supervisor
| of Road District No. /, desires it to
be understood that they are respon-
| sible for Mr.. Taylors petition being
circulated and that he was not aware
| that such a petition was in existence
