QUESTIONABLE RESORTS RAIDED
PendIeton Officers Round up Unde
sirabIe Characters.

About o'clock this morning Mar
shall Coffman and Night Officer Alex
Manning made a raid on some of the
questionable lodging houses of the
city, with the result that four or five
men and women were rounded up, and
having no visible means of support,
were ordered to leave the city, says
the East Oregonian. According to the
marshal practically all of the parties
were found in the Baker & Garrison
lodging house which, with others on
Main street, has been a disreputable
joint and the cause of much trouble
to the officers in the past.
To keep the city free from the class
of people found in the raid this
morning is the intention of the police,
and efforts in that direction have been
made before. According to the officers
that class is being driven out of
Portland and Walla Walla, and un-
less like mea sures are taken here the
city will become overrun with a very
undesirable elemtnt

DIXIE FARMER SEEKS TO ENJOIn
COUNTY FROM OPENING
STREET.
Disputed Land Formerly Known a.
Cochran Addition to Town of
Dixie-Cs.se Under Amusement

Paul Thonney, Dixie farmer in
stituted a novel suit against Walla
Walla county in the superior court
yesterday in which he seeks to en-
join George Rice, supervisor of
Road District No. from opening up
a road through his land which was
originally known as the Cochran
addition to the town of Dixie. Twen-
ty-two years ago Charles Cochran
plated a tract of land adjoining
Dixie. The addition was accepted by
with certain streets and alleys for
mally dedicated.
Several years later the tract was
sold to Mr.. Thonney, who now con-
tends in his suit that the county, by
reason of neglect to open the streets
to travel or work them as other coun-
ty roads after all these years, has
lost all it's rights to open the streets.
Mr.. Thonney has been farming the
land for several years.
The case was taken under advise
ment by Judge Brents yesterday and
a decision will probably be handed
down in a day or so.

Positively the Last Opportunity for
the Afflicted to See Him-His Visit
Will Expire Next Friday, Novem-

Der IL.

DR.. Darrin is certainly the most
remarkable and successful physician
that ever visited Walla Walla, and
is the only specialist that has ever
created such furore by the success
of mis- cures in all manners of diseases
and ailments During the past five
weeks the afflicted Of this vicinity
have had the greatest opportunity OF
their life to obtain the scientific ser
vices of a high class specialist; one
whose name and fame is so we'll known
and reputation unquestioned. His
office at the Hotel State is crowded
from morning to night, as practice
has poured in on him until it is so
large that ne is having all he can
attend to.
1t is to be regretted that his visit
to Walla Walla will expire Friday
night, November IT, as he has done
much good in this community in re-
lieving the sick and treating the poor
free The only sufferers he leaves
are the skeptics who have not taken
treatment and those VINO have hes
itated and neglected the opportunity
of even consulting him.
It is not too late for those desiring
to see the doctor by calling on him
at once, as he makes no charge FOR
private counsel consultation, thor
ough examination by the latest Eu-
ropean method, and a candid, correct
opinion are wholly free, and above
all, strictly confidential. Most pa
tients can be treated at home after
one visit to his office. His fees for
treatment are very low and reasona-
BILE and he is always willing to ar
range the terms of payment to suit
the circumstances in the case, such
as time accommodation or install
ment payments to those not able to
pay cash.

COMMERCIAL CLUB TO TAKE
UP THE MATTER TOMOR-
ROW NIGHT.
Business Men Observation-Disclosures
Catron Urges Citizens 10 Attend
the Meeting.

Why greater progress is not being
made to beautify 1.-THE city park at
the head of Alder street will be one
of the subjects brought to the atten-
ton of the Commercial club at a
meeting to be held in the council
chambers tomorrow night. President
Catron this morning said a number of
business men have requested that the
Commercial club take up the matter
of city parks, either by bringing be-
fore the attention of the council the
need of increasing the appropriation
to the park fund or else try to secure
one of the numerous wooded places
within the corporate limits that could
be used as a public recreation place
until such time as the city's 40 acres
assumes the dignity of park in
stead of a hay field, from which the
city derives a revenue of perhaps $100
year.
CAS- I understand the situation, the
council in its eagerness to further
civic improvements in the way of
paved streets, new fire stations, etc,
has entirely overlooked Commission
er Mclean and his park by failing
to include in the levy this year the
usual half mill for park purposes"
President Catron said this morning
1.-The. need of providing some place of
recreation for Walla Wallans is be-
coming more and more apparent each
year as the city continues to expand.
At the rate the city park in Alder
street is being beautified, it will take
10 years or such matter before the
70 acres can reach the dignity Of
being called park. In the mean
time, unless a big appropriation is
made to hasten the work of setting
out trees, building walks and plant
ing flower beds at the city park, some
small park close in for the use of
the general public. would urge
that everyone interested in the matter
attend the Commercial club meeting
tomorrow night at the city hail."
Park Commissioner Willing.
Il am glad to hear that some inter-
est is being aroused in the city park"
Commissioner Mclean said this morn
ing I'VE have had to be content TIL
the small appropriation made each
year by the council. the money
available has been expended as jul
diciously as possible, but at present
there is only $500 or $500 in the
fund, and as the council failed to in
clude a half mill levy for park pur-
poses for next year the outlook for
continuing the work started is not
very bright But We have got an
excellent start"
