Fishermen's Queer Ways.

Fishermen have queer customs. A
few years ago the fishermen Of Pres
ton, Lancashire, used actually to go
fishing on Sunday. 1t seems incredi-
BILE, but they did. A clergyman of the
town used to preach against this Sab
bath dissertation and pray that they
might catch no fish. And they did not.
But they found out how to make his
prayers Of no avail. The fishermen
used to make little efigy of the par
son in rags and put this small guy
up their chimneys. While his rever-
ence was slowly smoked and consum.

GIasfOrd Introduced His Promised
Resolution Last Night
REFERRED TO JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
SEATTLE EXPERTS HAUL DOWN
$1,2e2.55 FROM THE cITY's
STRONG BOX.

The only time the paving question
was touched upon at the council last
introduced his promised resolution
relative to giving the Barber Asphalt
company the contract for paving North
Fourth street from Main to the bridge
either with Victor pavement or BIZ
luminous macadam.
The resolution in substance is that
the Barber company be permitted to
lay the stretch of street with Victor
or bituminous macadam, the work to
be done under a special contract, and,
if at the end of u months it is found
to be as good as the waterproof btu
lithic of approximately the same age
then the Barber company is to be paid
for the pavement at the same rate as
paid for bitulithic.
On the other hand. if it is found not
so good, then the company is to be
paid nothing for the pavement. The
resolution winds up by stating that if
the Barber company enters into the
contract in good faith, on the lines
suggested the council then pass the
following resolutions:
BE it resolved, that no more pave
yalI
cept that now under contract, until Is
months after the completion of the
contract with the Barber Asphalt COM
pany on North Fourth street so as to
give the Victor or bituminous ma
cadam fair trial"
The resolution was referred to the
judiciary committee with instructions
to report at some future meeting. In
Offering the resolution Councilman
Glasford failed to state who was to be
the Judge of the merits of either the
Victor or bituminous macadam, in the
event the Barber company saw fit to
accept the contract.
Complains Of Stray Animals.
Professor w. A. Bratton In COM
munication complained of animals be-
ing driven through the streets to the
detriment of lawns and parkings. The
| complaint stated that only yesterday

and destroying the lawn. The COM
munication was referred to the judic-
larry committee and existing ordinances
will be amended to abate the nuisance.

nation of Harry Brown as member

Whitman College Protests Against
Recent Order Of Council
INTERFERES WITH LANDSCAPE WORK
COMMONPLACE WALK WOul d
MAR BEAUTY OF CAMPUS
WHICH is PUBLIC PARK.

freSlue1lt fenrOSe OF Whitman Col
lege appeared before the council last
night and protested against the order
some time ago requiring the college
to construct a board walk along the
north side of Boyer Avenue. fronting
the College campus. In asking the
council to vacate the order President
Fenrose called attention to the fact
that some for years ago the trustees
of the college engaged the services
OF an expert landscape architect to
furnish plans for identifying the
campus. Elaborate plans he said had
been prepared at considerable expense
and that all improvements since that
time have been made with the one
idea of turning the big campus into
a public park, made as attractive as
possible.
Spent Thousands of Dollars.
Several thousand dollars he said had
already been spent on the work and
the college was expanding several
hundred dollars a year in maintenance
The landscape architects plans
he said, provided for a broad stretch
of unbroken lawn from the roadway
to the drive next the building, with
shrubbery at the ends of the building
and trees in the background, with
botanical garden along the small
creek flowing through the upper part
of the college grounds. The board
walk, ordered by the council, he MAIN
tanned, would ruin this plan and mar
the beauty of the campus without any
public benefit thereby. A walk al
ready exists on the south side of
Boyer avenue and every person COM
ing down town must necessarily cross
Boyer avenue. No hardships there
ton street.
Walk Already There.
President Penrose said there is al
ready a walk, although somewhat
winding, already stretching on the
campus parallel with Boyer avenue
from College avenue to Billings hall
and he said this will be extended if
the council or property owners in that
district desire, to Brookside Way.
President Penrose maintained that
the question involved is not one OF
economy but of sacrificing high ideal
of landscape gardening in the interests
of mere uniformity. 1.-The rights of the
public in seeing the campus made
beautiful ought not to be sacrificed tc
the cry of a few individuals that they
have had to build board walks and
to build one," President Penrose de-
clared.
1.-THE college is not trying to save
expense but asks to be allowed t'
carry out its plan for helping to make
the CITY beautiful Walla Walla ha:
great possibilities for becoming th'
most beautiful residence city in Amer
Tea. but straight streets. and ooar'
walks. and a treeless uniformity vii
not make it beautiful"
No definite action was taken by III
council last night.

Mr.. Tracy returned from Athena last

tives in that place. The straight
forward story that Tracy told and his
subsequent sincere actions have done
much to make the officers believe that
he is entirely innocent of the crime.
