COUNCIL DECIDED TO POSTPONE
REGULAR MEETING UNTIL
NEXT WEDNESDAY,.
Awarding Of Contracts to Warren Con-
~struction Company Will be Star
Performance 1t Is Thought.

The expected fight over awarding
the contract for paving North Fourth
and Elm street to the Warren Con-
struction company will not come up
tonight for the reason that there will
be no council meeting. Councilmen
Cox and Kirkman are doing the Port
land fair and Mayor Hunt left last
night to assist Mrs. Hunt in pre-
siding over the Washington building
during Walla Walla week. Today is
walla Walla Day at the Lewis and
Clark exposition and it was almost
imperative that the mayor be there.
An effort was made yesterday aft
ernoon to get a quorum Of the coun-
ell together to dispose Of some press
ing business, but being the first
Of the month most of the members
were busy with private affairs and it
was impossible to get sufficient
number to promise to be on hand last
night and the meeting was postponed
until next Wednesday night.
1t is predicted that warm session
is scheduled for next Wednesday
night when the ordinance awarding the
contract to the Warren Construction
company for paving Fourth and Elm
streets will come up and in anticipa-
ton of a fight property owners in
the two streets are preparing to be
on hand in large numbers. Just what
the outcome of the fight waged against
the Warren people being awarded
the contract without being subject
ed to meeting competition is prob
lematical and depends somewhat on
what a majority of the council will
do when it comes to a show down. 1t
was rumored on the streets today that
there mas been a break in the ranks
of the councilmen favorable to the
Warren Construction company and
that the bitulithic people are not go
ing to have such easy sailing in Sc
curing a monopoly on paving con-
tracts in Wa1la Walla as at first
supposed.

The Curse of tho Turf.

was simply to refuse to publish what

AS the country in that vicinity be-

ACCORDING TO TESTIMONY
HAS ben '"HXED'

1t has developed that Miyamoto,

and supposedly the principal witness
in the Charles Moore gambling case,
before Police Justice Whitney today,
according to his own testimony had
been urged by unnamed parties to
swear to the complaint and offer his
assistance to the police to convict
Moore. Miyamoto intimated that suf.
ficient pressure had been brought TO
bear SO that he thought 1t best to do
what he did. At the time he promised
to produce enough witnesses with sui.
ficient evidence to convince the Court
that an open gambling house with a
rake OFF, was being conducted by
the defendant.
Miyamoto was an utter disappoint.

that he did not know the location of
