TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS

For the past few months our city
subscription has been managed by
other parties, but finding this arran-
cement not satisfactory to our pa
irons or ourselves, we have decided
to manage our city subscription from
our publication office. We feel sure
this arrangement will be more salts
factory to all concerned, or at least
we shall use every effort to make it
more satisfactory. Hereafter all
collections will be made from this
Office and all business of any nature
connected with the Leader will be
transacted from this office. Any
Complaints or corrections will be
promptly attended TO.

the farmers throughout portions of
Massachusetts and New Hampshire
which supply the Boston market with
dairy products are facing a still grea-
ter shortage in their products on ac.
count of the long-continued dry
spell. The conditions were serious
the latter part of August and the
drouth has not yet been broken. The
price of fancy butter in Boston is
80 cents a pound.

KNOCKERS" FORM A CLUB.
Unique Organization Which Has But
One Officer.

Unique Organization Which Has But
One Officer.
One Of the most unique organiza-
tons existing in Walla Walla is the
Apex Knockers club. 1t is unique be-
cause it has but one officer and is gov
erned by a board of directors, which
consists of every member of the club,
and every motion or resolution put has
to be carried by a unanimous vote
This is to avoid anyone being given
the chance to knock" the officers for
the way in which they conduct and
administer their offices, as the only Of
fetal position Is an honorary one, that
of Chief Knocker," which was unan-
imously given to John Riley.
Louis Schmidt is popular member
Of the organization, and yesterday
morning he was most pleasantly
knocked" and so hard that his breath
was almost taken away. About 10
o'clock a large delegation of Apex
Knockers entered his store bearing a
large oak desk chair, a travelling clock
and a gavel
The .gavel was as unique as the club.
1t was a large maSOn's hammer hand
somely decorated gilded and bedecked
with red ribbons. This will be used at
all stated sessions of the organizations
and all those who come up for a knock
had better beware. The speech of
presentation was made by Frank Root,
and Hannah, of the garrison. also made |
a few remarks. Mr.. Schmidt was nom |
plussed for a moment, but finally man |
aged to get in a few gentle knocks on !
almost every one present. |
