Reasons for Granting the "Milton
Macadam Road"

Reasons for Granting the "MiIton
Macadam Road"
Hon. Board of County Commissioners:
At this hearing your petitioners sub
nit the following reasons why the
county commissioners should order the
Improvement for the Milton Mac
adam road:
First, the improvement of this road
is necessary for the needs, convenience
and welfare of the general public;
Second, the route thereof is entirely
practicable, being along the present
established highway, with easy grades.
In addition to the foregoing reasons,
which the law prescribes to give your
honorable body jurisdiction of the
matter, your petitioners further show:
1. That the Upper Milton, or Tele-
phone, road between Walla Walla and
Milton, is the shortest and most direct
road between these cities, and the one
that has the easiest grades, and that
is most used by the travelling and
freighting public. 1t was selected by
the telephone company because it was
the shortest road.
2. 1t was the road selected for rural
free delivery No 1, because its density
of population claimed the first con-
sideration from the United States in
the matter of free rural delivery of the
mail, and your petitioners desire to
improve the same to make it conform
to the recommendations of the free
delivery service of the United States.
g. The low and easy grades, re-
quiring but little cutting or grading
down to make them conform to the
law, render this road easy to improve
prove.
4. This road is one of the main
travel arteries leading into the city
of Walla Walla; it's freight and pleas
is now and for many years has been,
during the wet season deep with mud,
holes. slush and dirty water, and in
the dry season deep in dust, chuck
holes and wind made ruts. Your pc
titiOners, many of them, have been
wading, wallowing or smothering over
this road for from % to 40 years, and
the road is worse now than ever be-
fore, and they desire to take advantage
of the assistance given by the law of
1898, in making a good road, to get a
good road before they, also, return to
dust. They fervently pray, that when
they shuttle off this mortal coil, they
will not have to scrape off the mud, or
wipe off the dust of the present vii
famous country road that runs by
their homes. before they will be per-
mitted to step upon the golden pave
ment Of the new Jerusalem.
5. Petitioners have desire to
benefit their own home city, and con-
tribute to it's prosperity as far as they
can. Therefore, they have asked that
this improved road extend as far
toward the state of Oregon as the
jurisdiction Of the commissioners runs,
to-wit, clear to the state line, in the
expectation, that the easier access of
~
will bring them to Walla Walla for
business, and SO improve trade in our
own nome city.
6. Petitioners assert, that the time
is come when legitimate pleasure and
recreation, and the comforts Of life,
demand recognition as well as the

progress demands that the present un-
fit dirt road be replaced with an up

Negroes ON the Canal.

1t will be impossible to drop the
negroes entirely, but 1t is the view
OF Chairman Shonts and the other
members of the canal commission
that 1t is unsafe to depend on negro
labor which has been found SO un-
satisfactory; and efforts will be
made to recruit the forces Of work
ers from other sources, especially
from white countries. The expert
ence at Panama is but another argu-
ment in favor OF white immigration

work as well here as in any other
part of the country. II not better;
and we can feel confident that their
labor will return better results. The
old theory that the white man is not
able to do good work in the south
has been thoroughly exploded. not
only OF the southern states of the
union. but even Of the Latln-Amerl-
can republics of the troplcs.-New

Good Story.

The following story is going the
rounds of Gen. Won Budde, one time
minister Of the German railway. He
was In the habit of occasionally seeing
personally that all the rules were car
ried out. One day he was in a first
class carriage when a gentleman en-
tered and calmly lighted a cigar. The
general waited for some time and then
touching him on the arm pointed out
that the rules did not permit of smok-
ing in non-smoking cars. The gentle
man looked at him a moment and then
making a motion as though brushing
away a fly. went on without speaking.
Won Budde decided to make a grand
coupe, so he took out his card case
and handed his card to his fellow trav-
eler, who gave II glance and put II
in his pocket, went on smoking and at
the next station descended. The min
lister, much irrItated, decided to give
him lesson, so told the station people
to find out his name as he had a
complaint to make against him. The
gentleman. asked for his name, put
his hand in his pocket and presented
card at which the station master
bowed profoundly and allowed him to
leave the station. Then returning to
Won Budde, he said: "You had better
keep your complaint to yourself; look,
his card says he is Gen. Won Budde!"

Orators

The executive committee of the
fair held a meeting yesterday af-
lernoon to decide upon a number
OF details In regard to the fair
which is to be held Oct. o-I7.
Everything now points to the most
successful fair ever held In this
section.
At the meeting yesterday the
committee adopted a full set Of
rules and regulations governing the
fair and exhibits. The secretary
was authorized to have sheds built
for horses and cattle that will be
kept on exhibition during the
fair.
Secretary Leech stated that a
number Of ladies had requested
that day be set aside for their use
and by unanimous vote, the com
mittee granted the request. The
forenoon of the second day will
probably be srrned over tctae lad
les and they can be depended upon

Upon the suggestion of DR.. c.
s. Foster, day was set apart for
the fraternal orders and a commit
tee was appointed to place the
matter before the various loca
lodges, asking them to name a
,oint committee to make arrange
ments for the day. 1t is the plan

funds for amusements, it was de-
cided to rattle off a lot in the Frisco
addition which was donated to the
committee by J. S. Askew. Ev-
erybody will want chance on the
lot, of course, and the COMMITTEES
hopes to add considerable sum to
their funds.

prepared a proposition which he
desired to present to the ccupcil
which would solve the problem of
the discount on the paving certifi-
Gates. which it seems is going to
cause some delay in the paving.
The proposition is to see how many
