SLOT MACHINES may Be RUN
California Court Rules Favoraby On
Law Similar to Washington Statute

Walla Walla cigar dealers today re-

held that the operation of slot ma

merchandise is no violation of the

The California law, prohibiting the
operation of slot machines is similar
to the Washington law and local cigar
dealers say the decision just rendered
by the appellate court will, they be-
lieve. result in the ban being re-
moved from slot machines in this state
so far as playing for cigar and mer-
chandise is concerned.
The California decision was rendered
in connection with the application of
C. C. Williams, a cigar dealer of Pet
aluma, for a writ of habeas corpus. He
was arrested December 4, 1905, and
fined $780, He was today ordered dis
charged. 1t was on the words 'other
representatives of value" that the case
rested. The Appellate Court held that

of a similar nature, and did not en-
brace cigars and other merchandise.

the inspector was not ,quite through

Grocery houses in the residence dis

inspector has also served notice on
the largest fruit growers in the val
ley Of his intention to eradicate the
evil of infected fruit as far as possible
1T makes no difference whether the
fruit is wormy, infected with scale,
or any other pest. All such fruit will
be seized and destroyed an dthe seller

prosecuted" said Inspector Ritz yes
terday evening while making his
rounds.
ut was almost impossible to visit
every orchard in the county this year
and compel the owners to spray and
understand that some neglected this
important work. Others sprayed just
enough to meet the requirements OF
the law. They will pay for their neg
ligence now, if their fruit is infected,
by hunting for a market. They will
certainly not find a market in Walla
Walla and the commission houses will
decline to handle infected fruit.
"Walla Walla can raise good fruit.
It has been done and can be done
again if the orchardists will take the
trouble to keep their orchards Clean"

Among Liquor Dealers.
ONE man GIVES AWAY SNAP

Reduce Saloon Valuation
Values Increased.

Radical increases in the assessment
on stock and fixtures of nearly every
saloon in the county was decided upon

sible without attracting the attention

it is said, gave the snap away yester-
day when discussing his assessment
with a member of the board The
saloon-keeper voluntarily placed val
uation of $1,000 on his stock and fix
lures last year. This year he was
rated at $3.50. When asked the reason,

piled:
well, the boys told me l was q
d fool to put $1,000 valuation ON
my stock when $3.50 or $4OO would CO."

gathered later on, the board decided
to raise the assessment of every
saloonman in the county and Auditor

saloOnmen that the board would give
them a hearing on August Is. The

PLANS TO GIVE N|GHTLY CONCERTS
MUSICIANS DECLARE FALSE THE
RETALIATION sToRlEs-Go
ON RECORD.
PLANS TO GIVE NIGHTLY CONCERTS

1--WE desire to repudiate the unwar-
ranted statement that the Walla Walla
Military band plans to inaugurate a
boycott against the county fair. We
protest against the unauthorized an
nouncement that we intend to start a
rival show, or street carnival, in Or
der to detract from the fair attend
ance."
This. in substance, is the resolution
passed last night at a meeting of the
members of the Walla Walla band
held in labor temple. 1t is a declara-
ton against the ill-advised talk set on
foot by irresponsible persons who have
no connection with the band.
In the meeting last night the SEN
timent was unanimously in favor of
overlooking the slight put upon the
band by the fair committee on music.
1t was also the unanimously expressed
intention Of the band members to re-
turn good for evil by jumping in and
doing all in their. power to boost the
fair and the city.
When the matter came up the first
offered was a resolution deprecating
the publication Of the story of an in
tended boycott, Or a street fair. The
motion was made and unanimously
carried that the members should in no
| way interfere with the success of the
! fair.
For Nightly Concert.
Another motion, which was carried
| unanimously was to the effect that
the band would begin rehearsals at
once for a series of band concerts to
be given in the court house yard free
of charge. every night during the week
of the fair. Every member present
pledged himself to return to the busi-
ness men the favors shown by the
was needed.
THE concerts will attract many peo-
pie to the down town business streets,
said President Malone today. eve
had to do something to overcome the
false impression that we were going
to blame the big enterprise for what
one or two persons sprung on us. We
believe the best way we can show our
appreciation is to go ahead and give
nightly concerts during fair week. we
know that in this way we will have ac-
complished more than in sitting baca
and sulking."
