and advancement that
Walla Walla has made during the last
four years, but beyond question much
has been due to his urgent recon-
mendations, wise counsel and active
efforts to bring about the betterment
of the city in every legitimate way
possible. Walla Walla never had a
mayor who accomplished so much in
so short a time as has been achieved
by Mayor Hunt Without reflection
upon his able and worthy predeces-
sors, it may be truthfully said that he
has proven to be the best mayor the
town ever had. Undoubtedly a large
majority of the taxpayers take this
view of the good record made by May
or Hunt and they will express that
opinion in no uncertain manner at next
Mondays election.

The effort of the little dodger
through the aid of Boxer attorneys to
controvert the well-considered and
well -grounded opinion of Attorney
John L. Sharpstein to the effect that
Mayor Hunt has violated no law in
doing work and furnishing supplies
for the city, fell very fiat. 1t missed
the point entirely and left the Sharp
stein opinion as strong as ever. The
fact that the Boxer council through its
committee has acted as buyer and
contractor on the part of the city and
that the full council has audited and
approved all bills presented by the
Gilbert Hunt company, completely alb
solves the mayor from any culpability
in filling the councils orders for work
and material at regular prices.

Hardware Man Has Fish Show,

FRANKLIN, Pa, July &C. D.
Allen, hardware dealer of Grand
Valley, caught three brook trout in a
steram near that place. One of these
was foot long. Mr.. Allen was loath
to eat such a fine specimen, so he put
1t in tank of water He fed the fish
daily with flies Inside of a week the
fish showed it recognized Allen and
would come to the surface to be fed.
He then placed the fish in a pool in a
small stream and two days later when
he visited the pool the fish came to the
surface and gave every evidence that
1T recognized him. Other men have
tried to get a sight of the fish, but it
sulks in the bottom of the stream and
will only come to the surface for Mr..
Allen.

BOXER MAJORITY WAS RESPON-
SIBLE.

The little Boxer dodger attempts tc
make political capital out of a letter
written to H. H Turner by the general
manager of the Pacific Coast Pipe
Company of Ballard disputing Engi-
neer Thomsons statement that prior
to closing the contract with the Ma
tional Wood Pipe company he visited
all the leading mills on the Sound and
found that it would be impossible to
secure first-class lumber for the WAL
la Walla pipe line in less than a years
time. Just what bearing this letter
can have on the city campaign is not
clear. Granted that Engineer Thomson
misrepresented the facts, what Walla
Walla official is to blame? Certainly
not Mayor Hunt, who is not the keeper
of Engineer Thomson and assumes no
responsibility for his acts Mr.. Thorn
son was employed by the council on
the recommendation of the special ad-
visory committee of seven appointed
by the Commercial club Mayor Hunt
took no part in the discussion of who
should be the consulting engineer. How
then can he be held culpable for any,
thing that Thomson may have done
not for the best interests of the city?
AS to the changes in the contract
with the National Wood Pipe Com
pany the Statesman has shown agHr
and again that the contract as changed
by Engineer Thomson was read in
open council and was approved after
Councilman Mexican had called at
tention to the changes On motion OF
Councilman Kirkman the mayor anG
clerk were instructed to sign the con-
tract. AS the Boxers have a majority
of the council, if there was any skull
duggery in the changing of that con-
tract, they can not lay the blame or
Mayor Hunt, but must accept the full
responsibility for their own lack OF
vigilance in protecting the interests OF
the taxpayers.

An INTERNATIONAL AUTOMOBILE

mo 1t isn't, Aunt Matilda, for here

one of those new-fangled automobiles.
1t surely must belong to the parade"
The above is the conversation a lit
tie girl and her aunt had Fourth of Ju-
ly morning when the parade was passing
down Main street. The new style au-
tomobile the little girl had reference
too was the International Automobile
that was doing fancy stunts in the
parade under the auspices of Frank
Tierney of the Tierney-Toner Com
pany, implement dealers, Second street
and G. w. Ford, Walla Walla, repre-
sentative Of the International Harves-
ter company.
There were no flies on the Interna-
tional Automobile in the Fourth
of July parade 1t cut a big
swath and won liberal ap-
plause all along the line.
The International proved to to be a
motor car somewhat out Of the ordi-
nary. Its makeup was unique and the
result of no little ingenuity on the
part of it's promoters.
1t consisted of one of the late makes
of the International Manure Spreaders
and a three horse power International
Gasoline engine. With a few extra
trimmings that was all, but it was
quite sufficient to make a respectable
in the big parade.
In the parade the International Au-
tomobile navigated the streets quite
handily and was at, all times abso-
lutely under the control of its chauf-
feur Only the congested condition of
the streets prevented the latter from
breaking all speed limits for the run
ming of motor cars in the city.

Regarding our salOonmen who are

however, overstep the bounds of rea-
son, thus causing odium to fall upon
their law-abiding neighbors. Those
who are not observing the laws which
prohibit disofderly places must be
made to observe them or to find some

ADJUSTMENTS
Leading Actress.

That Henrietta Crosman, who is
coming to the Keylor Grand tomorrow
evening in her latest New York hit,
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary" Is en-
titled to be regarded as the greatest
of living condolences is proven by her
brilliant achievements in various lines
of comedy. She has scored throughout
the range from classic comedy to mod
ern. She holds the record run for a
woman in Shakespeare, having had a
run of 100 nights in New York in "As
You Like IT. This run has never
been equaled by woman and never
attained but by one other player, and
that was Edwin Booth, who at the
height of his fame presented Hamlet
for like number of nights. Miss
CrOssman will be seen here now in a
modern play. This is departure
from the line she has been following
for some time, as for several years she
has been presenting romantic come
dies. Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary"
is an exceedingly clever three-act
comedy. 1t deals with amusing types
Of present day persons and is replete
with comical episodes and incidents.
Its humor is brisk and bright. Every
body will like the play, and everybody
will agree with the universal verdict
that Miss Crosman is more delightful
in this comedy than in anything in
which she had formerly been seen.
Miss Crosman will have the most tall
ented company that has ever appeared
with her. The comedy is modern
and abounds in exceptionally clever
possibilities for every character. and
each member of the company has been
selected with an especial view to the
brightest portrayals of the several
