Think They Can Bond District to
Build levee.
TO PREVENT WALLl WALlA FLOODS
WANT TO PUT IN DYKES ON THE
RIVER TO KEEP IN DE-
STRUCTlVE WATERS.

The farmers in the Milton neighbor-
hood are planning to restrain the
Walla Walla river by means Of a
dyke. The farms in that sections are
seriously damaged every time the
river rises as the river below Milton
and for a short distance above that
town is practically without a bank.
The flood last spring made matters
worse as the channel became filled at
that time.
The farmers have already held sew
eral meetings in regard to the propo-
sition of constructing a dyke. 1t is
proposed to organize a levee district
in the same way as a road district
is organized. In this way bonds could
be issued to pay for the work. The
farmers have Investigated the matter
and say they found that they can
legally organize such a district.
The levee will extend for several
miles on each side Of the river be-
low the town of Milton.
The farmers suffered more from the
last flcod than they did last spring
and as a result are determined to do
S ,mething at once to protect them
selves.

Waterloo For Football Man

"Oh. Dear, If hat awful man does
start those signals somebody may get
burt, | Just know l won't get a thing!
Well I'm only up to see the crowd
anyway"
These and a hundred kindred eX-
carnations might nave led the casual
observer to believe that a game Of
football Or a guild dinner was in pro-
gress this afternoon but to the initial
ed it was plain hat the Walla Walla
Cloak and Suit House was giving
one of their famous sales.
The main object of the rush seemed
to be a red ruff1ed skirt for everybody
who didn't get it-and that was all
but O~ne-showed more disappointment
than a Chicago alderman does when
he fails to get in on the latest graft.
Among the crowd of jostling women
and caIlow school girls, before the
doors opened was a youth whose attf-
tude betrayed the fotball warrior. ho
had a look of confidence as he told
how ne was going to buck the line
for a touchdown on the coveted skirt.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-12-06

When he came out he looked like a
freshmen after a Yale cane rush and
was hurting anathemas on the old
rules for bargain sales and threaten
ing to have the game debrutalized
much to the joy Of the curious crowd
who had gathered.
One veteran campaigner who lookeu
as though she might have borne the
brunt Of a thousand such scrimmages
skirted left end for a run the entire
length of the store and came out
with a $35 dress marked down to 81,
her battle scared visage cleaning
with pleasure and the fierce light Of
war just dying out Of her countenance
and catching sight of the discounted
football player p~layfully jeered 81 told
you so young man. You may know
something about football but you can't
play 57th sub on a sales day team" The
young fellow thus addressed sorrow
fully nodded assent and left the store
with more admiration for the daunt-
less bargain hunter than he had ever
felt before.

FORTS TO FIRE
BIC MORTARS
Tons of Powder to Be
Used in Target
Practice.

Within several days there will be
noise enough heard throughout the
city to make people think it is GER
tainly going to the demnition bow
vows. Many twelve-ineh mortars and
rifles will be booming from the forti-
ficatiOns on both, sides of Golden Gate
Strait and the explosions will be heard
and felt from one end of the city to
the other.
The subcaliber practice is now TAX
ing place about the fortifications, but
on some morning, which the army
guards as secret the word will pass
along the line that the enemy is in
sight and the twelve-inch rifles and
mortars Will hurl their full service
charge at targets stationed from three
to four miles out in the ocean. These
targets are the size and shape of tents
and will be towed outside by Govern
ment tugs, aboard which will be the
observers of the craftsmanship of the
gunners.
Tons of powder will be used In the
twelve-inch rifles a charge of 275
1000pound projectile. A little more
powder is used in the mortars, but the
weight of the projectile is the same
All this powder will make some noise
and may make some people think they
feel something shaking. Spectators
with field glasses will have a good op-
portunity to view the target practice
