The Message.
Walla Walla, Wash, August Z, 1906.
To the Honorable Council of the City
of Walla Walla.
Gentlemen: In presenting you my
first message, I wish to call your at
tention to the condition in which we
find our city today. We have in the
past few years made rapid strides for
ward in the line of cities, and the city
of Walla Walla is recognized today as
a progressive and prosperous munich
pality. l trust that during the COM
ing year you will be able to outstrip
the advances that have been made in
any year previous. So that at the end

Mayor Kellough delivered his first
message to the council last night.
Briefly summed up, the mayor is de-
cidedly in favor of erecting a new city
hall, desires a continuation of the i'm
provement of the streets; says he is
unalterably opposed to gambling in all
its forms. and urges the strict enforce
ment of the law governing the sale
of liquor in Walla Walla
Wants New Charter.
The mayor urges that the city sur
render the charter under which Walla
Wallas affairs are now conducted and
come in under the laws governing cities
of the second class To that end he
recommends that the matter be placed
before the people for acceptance or re-
Continue Street Improvements.
In the matter of streets and public
improvements the mayor congratulates
the citizens on what has been done
already and says he trusts that during
the ensuing year there will be double
the amount of paving in the resi-
dence streets.
AS to the merits of the different
pavements. the mayor says he believes
they are all good and the matter
should be left to the property owners
to settle for themselves.
The mayor deplores the general bad
condition of the sidewalks and says
they are not up to the standard OF
the streets. He recommends that the
council use their influence to prevail
upon property owners to lay concrete
walks instead of board.
Dead Against Gambling.
Under the head of health and police
the mayor says that Walla Walla will
always be a city of schools and there
fore it is encumbent upon the admin
istration to remove temptation from
the Young men and boys as far as
possible and recommends the enforce
ment of the ordinance prohibiting the
sale of liquor to minors.

We may have some ordinances that
are not just what they ought to be. If
there are such ordinances we should

Health and Police.

Upon this department devOlves
great responsibility. We have here the
ground for a magnificent city, and in
order to build it along the best lines
the health of the city must be one of
the first considerations. Streets and
alleys should be KEEP scrupulously clean,
and necessary scavengers should be
employed to remove anything offensive.
In a great many instances housekeep-
ers have no way of disposing of their
garbage and this should be remedied
as soon as possible. The business dis
trict is 1 believe taken care of in a
proper manner; but the residence dis
trict should have better service. Walla
Walla has always been, and will re-

are one of the principal attractions OF

I would call your attention to the
present condition of our city hail. 1t
is in a dilapidated condition, and if
overhauled it would still fall far short
of giving the city the needed room for
it's officials and for the firemen of sta

In my judgment we should take up
the matter at once of erecting a suit
able building for the needs of the
city,
At present the various offices are
scattered over the city, causing much
confusion to the people who are un-
familiar with them, and entailing an
expense of $1,14O.0O rent per year
This amount would almost pay the in
build a suitable building for the Off
GERS and give us the much needed room
for the fire department.
City in Fine Condition.
We find the city in a very salts
factory condition. Strangers are being
attracted to the city, and one and all
realize that we are progressive and
prosperous, and that it is the inten-
ton of the citizens to build up one of
the loveliest cities in eastern Wash
ington
With the completion of our water
system and other civil improvements
started and in contemplation, I predict
for you a very busy year. Let US re-
double our efforts for advancement and

Victor Huso's sIodesty.

Victor Hugo, the Incompatible
French writer who has delighted the
world with his masterful style Of fic-
ton, liked to be praised and this ia
the way 1t was done, according to n
well-known writer:
When young women from England
or America came to gaze upon the
master, as occasionally it was permit
ted them to do, the Interpreter Of their
simple phrases did not boggle matters
in the least. The young ladies would
say, In English or American, something
like this "Oh, tell Mr.. Hugo that we
have read his works and liked them
so much, and that we are so pleased
to see him. These seemly encomiuius
would be rendered thus: "Illustrious

he returned after lunch the girl was
eating chocolate creams and half the
letters were still TO be done. He pick
ed up one and read to himself:

He took up the next letter and read
quickly:

When he read the second letter he
said things that seemed to ease his
mimd and then pushed the other letters
aside, murmuring:
