BOOST FOR INLAND EMPIRE
h. c. Willis Talks Of Advertising
This Section Of Country
he SUGGESTS ONE GOOD PLAN
COMMERCIAL BODIES SHOULD
GET TOGETHER AND DO AD-
vERTIsING IN EAST.
E SUGGESTS ONE GOOD PLAN

H. c. Willis, editor and proprietor of
the Pendleton Promoter, was in Walla
Mr.. Willis formerly resided in Walla
Walla, but for several years has been
living at Echo, Or. Mr.. Willis is quite
a boomer and at present is printing a
newspaper for the express purpose of
building up Umati county.
What the counties in the Columbia
river basin need most of anything"
said Mr. Willis yesterday to a repre-
sentative of The Evening Statesman,
is strong organization that will take
up the question of advertising and
booming the entire Inland Empire
Umatilla county has started the ball
rolling and meeting will be held in
Pendleton today, at which all
will be formed into one organization.
Il believe that all the counties in
southeastern Washington and those
counties in Oregon bordering on the
Columbia river should hold a mass
meeting and let the representative
from each county take steps toward the
formation of Columbia River Basin
Commercial club After the organiza-
ton is formed and in good running
order plans could be adopted to sys-
tematically advertise the resources of
the different localities. While much is
being done toward advertising the en-
tire northwest, yet it is the large cities
that are receiving the most benefit.
for new locations to build homes very
seldom ever hear anything about Walla
Walla or PendletOn. In fact Port
land, Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane
are the only places known in the
east. Thousands of people come west
every year and strike the large cities
and from there go into the country
about Portland and the Sound and are
never given an opportunity Of looking
over the great farming sections of the
two states. This section of the cOun-
try has never been properly put before
the intending settlers in the east and
never will be until the commercial
bodies get together and do their own
boosting

coLDsToNE FINED $50 AND COSTS
Judge Huffman Yesterday Found Him
Guilty of AssauItins Mrs. Rose
Goldstein.

The Goldstone versus Goldstein feud
was aired in Judge Huffmans court
yesterday afternoon, terminating in
Goldstone being fined $50 and costs for
an alleged assault committed on Mrs.
Goldstein at the joint residence of the
two families in East Main street a few
days ago. According to Goldstone and
his wife. Mrs. Goldsteins story of the
assault was made out of whole cloth
without semblance of truth in it, but
Mrs. Goldstein, backed up by her little
daughter, infinitely described how Gold
of their house and ended by hitting her
with a gocart, injuring her so that she
was compelled to take to her bed for a
couple of days.
DR.. w. B. Glove, who attended Mrs.
Goldstein, testified that the woman had
been badly injured in some manner
and described her injuries to the court.
A faint attempt was made to prove
that Goldstone was at the store instead
of his home at the time of the alleged
assault but several witnesses placed
on the stand by he GOldstone side
failed to testify to anything of that ma
ture.
Mrs. GoIdstone Gets HysterIcal.
Mrs. Goldstone, at the conclusion OF
the testimony, created a sensation by
arising in her seat and excla1m1ng:
MY man never laid hands On that
woman. He is too good. We are all
too good That. is the reason we get
the worst of everything" Goldstone
tried to quiet his wife, but she refused
to stop talking and had her say out
before sitting down.
The court concluded that the Gold
stone story was little short OF the
truth and. after moralizing little on
the enormity of the offense of man
striking a woman, imposed fine of
$50 and costs. The state was repre-
sented by City Attorney Blandford and
Goldstone by Attorney ]. w. Brooks.

ADOPT NAIAD STYLES

If they cannot be naiads, at least So
ciety girls may take hint from those
bathing beauties, as the poets describe
them. The Partisan beauty Of 1906
has a parasol Of seaweed! So far
Fifth avenue has not seen this new ac-
cessory to the summer toilet, but we
may be sure it will cross the ocean.
Pale coral pink weed is interspersed
with tawny-shaded specimens and 9th
ers Of emerald hue. Placed upon sun
shade Of pastel green: cloth, the weed
is covered with a layer. Of gauze, which
prevents the seaweed becoming dis
lodged. This idea was. brought out by
Frenchwoman once a leading light in
the social world, but who dropped out
of sight. It was predicted that she
wouldn't keep out Of the race long,
and her seaweed parasols goes to show
she as seeking the center Of the stage
again. 50 . ri ~... ak ....s 49,.
As sunshades have come to seaweed
trimming, hats have followed suit.
The summer girl with a white skirt,
airy lingerie waist and hat and sun
shade with seaweed accessories looks as
much like a sea nymph as the law per.
mits. Some hats are trimmed with ar
tlfcial punches Of weed falling in
masses of feathery frontals at the back.
Sometimes the green stuff is put about
the brim in the form Of a wreath. Al

HOUSEHOLD HELPS

Table linen should be hemmed by
hand. Not only does it look better
and more dainty, but there is never q
streak of dirt under the edge. after
being laundered, as with machine sew
ing.
Yolks of eggs left over when the
whites only are needed will keep for
several days if they are covered with
cold water. In hot weather it is well
to change the water each day.
Pictures always look best on a warm
toned, plain-surfaced background. So
when preparing a room, choose rather
a paper with no figures than one with
sprays.
!. Dirty bamboo furniture may be
cleaned with small brush dipped in
warm water and salt. The salt pre-
vents it from turning yellow, and the
washing makes the bamboo look bright.
Rub very dry with soft cloths, and you
will be delighted with the result.

can pierce the rind easily. To prepare
for the table wash the squash, cut into
small pieces and either cook in boiling
water in half an hour, but it takes
about an hour to cook it on a steamer.
The cooked squash is mashed fine and
seasoned with salt, pepper and butter.
This method gives delicately favored
but rather watery dish. Summer squash
is very palatable when cut in slices and
fried like eggplant. --.. -
1t is claimed by many that the
young sumr Gr squashes, particularly the
tuban variety, or the "cymlin of the
southern states, are delicate and pala-
table cooked when whole. For this dish
they should not be larger than sill
ver dollar. In. Uncle Sans opinion
the crookneck and other summer
squashes are richer in flavor when
grown to a large size. From the
more mature squash remove the thin
skin and seeds. Cut the squash in small
pieces and put in a stewpan with boil
ing water enough to cover. Boil for
half an hour, drain, mash and season
with salt, pepper and butter. Cook
winter squash in the same manner.
Squash is one of the vegetables that
requires great deal of butter.

Lady Cunard, and the usual Hatzfeldt

her. Mrs. Astor always has some new

even in dressing her hair. At this
dinner she appeared in the loveliest
gown Of sunfower yellow, cut low in
