next wife-don't shrink away, for you
will have another wife ere 1907. Your
next wife will fill the place of your
dear ones that have passed before; and
now comes a message from Marguerite
saying 1t is their wish that you marry
the dark-haired woman who is so gem
tie and kind
This time my departed wife's name
was Marguerite, but didn't object, as
liked that name better than the for
mer one, Then I was told to ask
three questions. The first was, Had
not better go to San Francisco at
once?' She advised strongly against
this.
"The next one was, Who is the best
medium in San Francisco?' 1 mention
ed half dozen, but she declared they
were all rascals except Earl. He was
good slate writer but she couldn't
recommend any one very much, but
she herself would be in that city in the
spring and then 1 could get whatever

and address so that any one desiring
to get spiritualism could get supply
at so much per.
"She was followed by a woman who
solicited for her paper, the only spirit
paper published on the Pacific coast,
/etc., etc. She was sorry to announce
that they couldn't get out the Decem-
ber number, but money was hard to
get hold of and as each paper cost two
cents postage, which must be paid in
advance, it would be impossible to get
out the December number for her sub
scribers The November number was
out, however, and to save postage she
had brought them to the hall for her
subscribers to get them as they passed
out. l think she had as many as ten
papers there. Then 1t was her turn to
give us free show.
"She turned her back to the audi

There are several reasons why clti-

some of these being that the county Is
now sixty miles long by twenty-four
wide. and some people on the resrva-

Credit Due Mr.. Catron.
The matter of removing the pas
senger depot to some other place has
been agitated by the business men Of
Walla Walla for several years, but un-
til last year no definite steps were
taken to secure the Improvement.
About a year ago John B. Catron, then
president of Walla Walla Commercial
Club took up the subject with o. r.
& N. officials in, Portland. He pre-
sented the matter to Mr. OBrien, who
was then general superintendent, in
clear and concise manner. He was
assured by the official that the subject
Catron made several trips to Portland
and was persistent in urging the claims
of the citizens of Walla Walla for i'm
proved facilities. At the suggestion of
Mr.. OBrien three sites were picked
out. Mr.. Catron also procured blue
prints of the land in the three different
localities and in addition secured
much valuable information for the
railroad officials. When Mr.. O'Brien
came to Walla Walla, recently he as
sured Mr.. Catron that the matter was
being considered by the company and
| that it was very probable that the re-
quest would be complied with In the
meantime the cOmpany's officials were
western end of the city and finally Sc
cured the land necessary to carry out
the proposition as suggested. When
all of the details had been completed
the head officials of the road in the
east then issued the proper instruc-
| tions for making the improvements.
To Mr.. Catron is due the greatest
credit in securing for Walla Walla the
| concession from the o. r. & n. CON-
| pany, for he devoted much time and
| labor in the matter. He was ably as
sisted in the work by Mayor Gilbert
| Hunt and Ben c. Holt, Jr.
Nearly One Hundred Thousand.
| With the expenditure Of $4,000 on
a new depot, $4,000 in improving
tracks and the sum Of $4,000 in the
purchase Of property. the o. r. & N.
company will have spent nearly $780,
! 900 in Walla Walla this year. This is
a good showing and demonstrats the
fact that the railroad people have ev-
cry confidence that Walla Walla is
destined to become one of the largest
cities in the Inland Empire.
