RECEPT|OnOFNEWCHURCHM MEMBERS
Interesting Meeting Held at ParI
Street Baptist Church Last Night
Banquet Served.

One of the most interesting and i'm
portant meetings of the year occurred
last evening in the dining hall of the
Park Street Baptist church, it being
the occasion Of a reception given to the
so new members added during the
year.
The long tables were decorated with
tulips, maple leaves and wild cur
rant, while tempting viands appealed
to the appetite.
The ultimate object of the reception
was to introduce the new members to
the work of the church and prepare
for their development as workers. For
this purpose, cards outlining the vari-
Gus branches of church activity were
placed at each plate. In after dinner
talks some older leaders spoke of their
respective departments of labor and
what they hoped to make Of them, and
as the hearers were impressed as to
their duty, talent and ability, they
checked the item on the card which
was finally handed to the pastor for
classification, reference and appoint
ment Very many Of the new members
voluntarily expressed their interest in
the work of the church.
The set object Of this church is not
so much numbers as quality of men,
bers, and they are working to the end
that there may be no drones but that
every member may be working Chris
tan.

While the pipe line question was un-
der consideration Attorney Sharpstein
asked that Engineer Thomson be re-
quested to come to Walla Walla at
once as there were several questions
as to the location of the pipe line to
be settled before all the rights of way
could be completed. 1t was stated by
City Clerk Reynolds that Mr.. Thorn
son was expected to arrive today.
Later in the evening, however. Mayor

from the engineer stating that owing
to the serious illness of the chief or

until Thursday.

Prevailing High Prices Threatens
Building Operations.
EFFEGTs FELT N WAlA WALA
WHOLESALERS AND MILL MEN
PREDICT ANOTHER AD-
VANCE BEFORE LONG.

Building operations in Walla Walla
threaten to be seriously crippled this
classes of building material the past
few weeks. Common lumber in Walla
Walla is retailing. from $40 to $22 a
thousand feet; flooring has been ad-
vanced from $25 to 30 and $35 thou
sand and all finished lumber and mill
work has been advanced in like pro-
portion. Common lumber was selling
in Walla Walla a year ago for SIS for
the best grades. Added to the high
price Of lumber, the cost of labor, CO.
ment and hardware has materially in
creased over last year and to con-
struct a building in Walla Walla costs
all the way from Is to 25 per cent.
more than it did last year.
Effects Becoming Apparent.
CldSSCS
Of material has already become appar-
ent, and more so by the fact that the
wholesalers are contemplating another
advance on lumber. in a short time.
The demand for lumber all over the
northwest was never greater than it is
today and the mill men are not over
looking the opportunity to add few
dollars to their profits when the oppor-
tunity presents itself. Sound millmen
are already receiving large orders for
stock in San Francisco and this it is
said will have the effect of advancing
prices in the interior.
Many people who contemplated erect
ing residences this year have given
up their plans and will wait until the
price of material has been reduced to
something like it was before the big
advance came in February. Walla
Walla lumber men say there is not the
demand for lumber and material that
there was last year at this time and
the prospects for any great amount of
residence building this year is not
over-encouraging. The number OF per-
mits issued by the building inspector
are not as great in number or value
as last season, which proved to be one
of the best building years in the his
tory of Walla Walla. totaling well over
the half million dollar mark. Con-
such a radical advance in the price
of all kinds of material the season of
ceeded, last year.

BIG cA1lEMAM N THE CITY
John Heming Visits WaIIa WaIIa-
Speaks In Glowing Terms Of
Progress Of City.

"Walla Walla has certainly made
rapid progress since my last visit
here" said John Fleming Of Montana,
who was TN Walla Walla today. when
1 was here eight years ago Walla
Walla was then a little slow-gOing
town and appeared to be almost dead.
But it is different now. / note with
great pleasure the many substantial
improvements that have been made in
the place and 1 feel certain that it will
not be long until Walla Walla will be
great big city. Evidences of prog
ress and improvement are apparent
everywhere about the city and if the
people pull together there is no rea-
son why the city should not have a
population of $4,000 within the next
ten years"
Mr.. Fleming is one of the most ex-
tensive cattle and sheepmen in the
country and came to Walla Walla to-
day to confer with District Freight
and Passenger Agent Robert Burns OF
the o. r. & N. regarding shipments OF
cattle and sheep that he is making. Mr..
Fleming is at present sending from the
Lewiston country into Alberta about
200 head Of fine cattle and is also
arranging to ship from Heppner and
Shaniko to Montana nearly 10000 head
Of sheep.
