reka Flat, has been notified that he

Eureka Flat, which mas been farmed

DETAILS FOR THE DAY AT PORT.
LAND ARE BEING WORKED
OUT.
Commercial Club Committee Is Ac.
lively at Work-Program Partially
Arranged for Event.

If the efforts of the committee ap-
pointed by President Catron of the
Commercial committee count for any
thing Walla Walla Day at the Lewis
and Clark exposition will be a great
success. The committee met this
afternoon at the Office of the North
western Gas & Electric company and
discussed at length the program for
the day at the Lewis and Clark fair.
The entire details of the exercises
were not worked out but the COM
mittee is still considering several
matters that it is hoped will prove of
attraction to the visitors at the ex-
position.
1t is planned so far to make a big
parade through the streets of Port
land on the arrival of the Walla Wal
la special train Which will reach Port
land at about $50 o'clock in the after
noon of October 2. The procession is
to be headed by the administration
band and every person is expected to
join in the parade. 1t was decided to
adopt as boosting yell, 'Walla Walla,
Walla Walla, Walla Walla, Wash" A
leader will be selected and he will
give the Walla Walla excursionists in
struction while on the train in making
as much noise as possible.
An order has been placed for 5000
badges and streamers, on which will
be printed a harvesting scene in the
Walla Walla valley. On the badge will
be the words -Four million bushels
and at the bottom of each will be at
tached a sheath of wheat. Each per-
son will be furnished with a badge and
a streamer and it is expected that the
street demonstration will surpass
anything that has been attempted by
any of the Washington cities at the
fair this year. :.
The exercises at the fair are to take
place on October 8 at the auditorium
in the morning. At that time Presi-
dent Goode of the exposition will de-
liver an address and several Walla
Walla orators will also make brief
talks.
During the afternoon in the Washing
ton building a reception will be given
by Mrs. Hunt, the Walla Walla hostess.
For this event an elaborate program
has been prepared consisting of mu-
steal numbers by a number of local
people. After the reception Mrs. Hunt
and her assistants will serve refresh
ments to the people of the build

Accept East Alder Street

Accept East Alder Street.
Upon a report signed by the street
committee and Engineer Wilson the
council accepted the paving between
Park and Clinton streets on Alder
as completed by the Warren Construc-
ton company. The district is known
as number s. Engineer Wilson last
night after council meeting stated
that he had inspected the work and
found that the contract had been car
ried out according to specifications
The Warren company reported that all
paving districts except one was fin
ished and ready for inspection of the
council and the city engineer. Sam
pie sections of the paving will be cut
out this week in each Of the districts
when the work is inspected.
Sells to Y. M. c. A.
An ordinance ratifying the deed
in the sale of the city's property in
Spokane street to the Y. M. c. A was
passed last night. Glasford still op-
posed the sale and voted a strong no
when the ordinance came up for pas
sage. The deed specifically requires
that the new Y. M. c. A. building be
erected On the ground. Otherwise it
reverts to the city.
Other Business.
Upon the recommendation of the
water committee the council refused
to order the grade in East Boyer ave-
nue. altered. Eugene Lennon, who is
plating an addition to the city, pc
titioned that the street be lowered in
the east end in order to do away with
an obnoxious hill. To order the grade
lowered Councilman Mexican stated
that it would work a hardship on prop
erty owners in that district who
have already laid their sidewalk on the
grade 1t would also necessitate the
lowering of the Isaacs flume which
was impractical. Glasford thought
the whole thing an easy matter, con-
tending that the city could afford to
spend a little money when it would
result in a large tract of taxable prop
erty being brought within the corporate
limits.
An electric light was ordered placed
at the intersection of Merriam and
East Alder streets in response to a
petition from a large number of resi-
dents in the vicinity.
A protest from the Hollon Parker
company against the proposed paw
ing in First and Poplar streets was
laid on the table The Hollon Par
ker- company stated that it owned 240
feet front in the proposed improve
ment district and was opposed to
paving at this time.

INVITES PEOPLE TO FAIR
Gov. Mead Urges Attendance Saturday,
Portland Day.

Governor Mead has received strong
request from the management of the
Lewis and Clark fair and Oregon and
Portland citizens asking that he de-
clare a public holiday Saturday on
account of the Portland day at the
exposition.
In view of the fact that Saturday
will be the last day on which taxes
can be pail prior to becoming delin-
uuent, and for other reasons, the gov
ernor deemed it unwise to declare a
holiday that would close county and
state offices. He, however, issued a
proclamation recommending that the
people of Washington attend in great
numbers on that day.

open the Lewis and Clark fair and
the beautiful grounds will be actu.
ally open to the public. Although
everything will not be in place the
entire aggregation of exhibits will
cone nearer being complete than al
any fair since the Centennial in 10.
This speaks wonders for the man
agement. There have been many
distractions TO combat and won
derful amount of work to be done
in the way of adornment and en-
bellishment Of the grounds which
were not reckoned IN the original
plans. and all these additions CON
sumed much time. Then, too,
many of the state buildings were
not commenced till late date-and
il has required from those in charge
a great deal of punching up" to
even get the magnificent affair com
plete at the specified time. The
management is to be heartily con
graduated.

REQUIRE BONDS.
Saint Johns School District Needs
Bonds for SchOOlhouse.

A meeting was held in the school
house on Wednesday evening pur-
suant to call of the school board
to discuss and decide upon the best
manner in which to increase the
capacity of the building for the
coming school year. The meeting
was not so we'll attended as it should
have been, but those present were
very enthusiastic throughout.
II seemed to be the universal
opinion that at some future time a
schoolhouse at the north end Of
town would be an absolute neces-
sity: but at the present time the
best plan would be to follow out
the original details of the architects
and make the present building COM
plete by adding the four rooms.
The increase of pupils during the
past year has been phenomenal
the average per school month being
70 as pupils. The enrolment last
September was 234-and the aver
age attendance was 2oo. In April
of this year the enrolment was ar
and the average attendance was
3o5. The big six-room house is
crowded as we'll as is the little an
mex and new pupils are coming
every week. To over-crowd is to
under-learn--and teachers are often
criticised because they fail to pro-
duce effects-when the real trouble
is that their tasks are too heavy.
To add the four new rooms,
thereby making room for 100
pupils, and properly equip the
same, will cost between $4,000 and
sro, ooo at least that is the suppo-
sition based upon previous figures.
There Is no opportunity to raise
this amount by special levy, and,
besides, for the present population
To dig up for that amount in order
that future settlers may derive all
the benefits without expense is not
just to those here residing.
Hence II was decided by a vote |
Of those present that the school
board should issue bonds for the
sum of SIC, 900, to be devoted to
the desired addition to the school
house and the proper equipment of
the same. This passed solidly-
no dissenting vote being registered.
Voting upon the bond issue will
be called for the day Of the annual
school meeting, which will be on
june 10. In order TO
give everyone opportunity to vote
,D the question the polls will be
,pcn from four to eight o'clock in
he afternoon and evening OF that
lay.
