WHO IS A FRIEND To WALLA WAL[A?
MAYOR HUNT OR THE BOXERS?
VITAL QUESTION FOR CONSIDERATION OF VOTERS
Uds and Bunch Opposing Mayor Never Known Contribute One DNa 10
The Uphdhg Of Waa Waa or Support Of ab@ng Men Of the City
Interesting History Regarding Building Of The High School

most of these men who are opposing
Mayor Hunt and the men who have
been largely responsible for Walla
Walla being what it is today, both
in a commercial and educational way
If it was not Mayor Hunt who was
largely responsible for the erection of
the new high school building, the
new Green Park school, the new Wash
ington school, the pavement of nearly
80 blocks of business and residence
streets, the erection and equipping of
the new sub-fire station, the construc-
ton of the new water works system
and other improvements that have fol-
lowed in the wake of this municipal
progress, who was it? Was it any one
of these men who are now seeking to
defeat Mayor Hunt for reelection and
put a stop to the march of progress
and advancement? Who is it that fills
the dinner pals of nearly 100 men
every day, makes it possible for them
to own their own homes and enjoy the
life that is due every American citi-
zen? The answer is, Mayor Hunt, not
any one of the Boxer bunch that was
never known to contribute a dollar to
the workingman or to contribute one
dollar to aid in the upbuilding of Wal
la Walla

This is an element that crops up
for the consideration of taxpayers and
laboring men of Walla Walla when
they go to the polls today to cast
their ballot for mayor If any one of
these men has been responsible for
any public spirited enterprise during
their residence in Walla Walla it has

Recuperate Health
KAUFMAN HAS HIM GOING
No More Favoritism Will Be
Shown to Certain Saloon
Men in Walla Walla

1t is a well authenticated fact that
Councilman Kirkman has been ap-
pealed to time and time again by sa-
loonkeepers calling his attention to
the wide-open policy permitted to
while the large majority were COM
PEELED to keep their doors all securely
locked. He has even been shown
where others were violating the Sum-
day closing ordinance but has per-
sistently refused to take any notice
of it.
Jerry Brown has also been cognizant
of the fact that a few of the favored
ones were doing business contrary to
the Sunday closing law while the
smaller dealers were forced to keep
closed or forfeit their license
Will the people of Walla Walla
stand for any such disregard of duty
by a servant who draws a salary to
see that the ordinances are all COM
piled with?
A vote for Brown is a vote for a
continuance of this crooked policy Of
favoritism.
Mr. James Casey, a prominent sa-
lOonkeeper of long standing in this
community, is authority for the state
ment that Jerry Brown has v>Sited
his place of business and insisted up
on his close observance Of the Sum-
day closing law, while he (Brownl was
in full possession of the knowledge
that the law was being NOSE flagrantly
violated by other saloonkeepers.
If such a policy is to be permitted
it is certainly too one-sider to be
wholesome. The only way to put a
stop to it is the retirement of Brown.

PLEAD WITH POPE.
Sister and Sister.in-Law Ask PapaI
Influence for Countess do CasteIIane.

NEW YORK. July 9.-The domestic
infelicities of Anna Gould, the Amer
lean girl who exchanged her fortune
of gold for the proud title of Countess
de Castellane, have. according to cable
advices from Rome, been carried to
that court of last resort to those loyal
to the Catholic church and it's teach
ings-the papal throne at the vatican.
There in private audience with his
holiness, Pope Plus X, the sister and
sister-in-law of Countess Anna have
pleaded that the influence of the
church be extended in every way pos
sible to prevent further scandal, to
protect their much abused sister in
he rthe custody of her three children
which the French civil law, in the
event of her obtaining her divorce, will
give to her husband, Count Boni de
Castellane.
At last accounts the predicament of
the Countess Anna involves the pecu-
liarity of her family, who are PrOte-
stants, going to the papal throne to
seek its interference in order to pre-
vent a divorce between the countess
and her French nobleman husband, the
countess being a Roman Catholic, and
the seeking of a divorce, therefore, be-
ing against the tenets of her creed.
First. Countess Annn's youngest
brother, Frank J. Gould, and his wife,
went abroad to counsel her. During
their absence they left their two
babies in the care of Helen Gould at
Irvintton.
Next of the Gould family to visit
Paris and counsel the countess were
her brother Edwin and his wife. Upon
their return Howard Gould and his
wife paid a visit to the countess and
took her with them on a short visit
to England.
Upon the departure of Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard Gould, Miss Helen Gould,
travelling incOgnitO, sailed on the
Deutschland for France. The following
week Mr.. and Mrs. George j. Gould
and their children sailed for France.

high school building was under con-
sideratiOn by the board of education.
Because Mayor Hunt was a member Of
the board and was actively agitating
the erection of the building, every OBJ
stacle was thrown in the way of the
board. These very men went so far as
to threaten to bring injunction pro-
ceedings to prevent the board from
carrying out the laudable work they
had started. The new high school
building stands today as a monument
of higher education and public spirit
edness on the part of Mayor Hunt
and his fellow workers, but it is not
because of any aid that these men
who are now opposing Mayor Hunt,
gave the men who are responsible for
its erection.
Not single one of these men has
added a mite to the support of the
laboring men of Walla Walla and
three of them, NJ c. Moore, c. C. Gose
and Otto Rupp, do not even reside
within the corporate limits of the city

that they are seeking to control.

Statesman on Friday it is said that
Saturday Brown went to the saloon
keepers that have been violating the
Sunday closing law and begged them
not to open yesterday as he was afraid
that it would injure his chances for
reelection. In the wards where the
temperance voters predominate Brown
had workrs who were extolling the
virtues" of the marshal in an effort
to gain a few votes among the people
who are forninst the Sunday opening
of saloons. His boosters were crying
cold water at the top of their voices
and claiming that if 1t had not been
for Brown the saloons would not have
been closed. To the liquor dealers
Brown was throwing the blame on
Mayor Hunt and was assuring them
that If he (Brown) was reelected they
need have no apprehensions as to what
would be his policy.

the moving pictures shown appeared so real
that women and children screamed There
was a furry of excitement when the au-
dience was treated to a reproduction of a
fierce combat between hunter and a
mountain lion. The animal was first seen
crouching upon limb with Jones ascend
ing the tree. The next minute the daring
hunter had closed with the beast which at
once showed fight. Then after a short,
sharp struggle the animal had dropped to
the ground, only to dash UP the tree again
while a pack Of dogs surged about the
trunk. Another scuffie in the tree followed
and then the lion, bound with strong
cord. tumbled to the ground.

lines laid In public space and used for the

Company. as result of which the District
accepted the sum of S1.6oo In full discharge

the Commissioners that the rental for the
future be fixed at $205.44 per annum for
what is known as the 'tBaughman pipe
line and $164.So per annum for the "Nico-
lai'' pipe line. These figures were fixed
about two months ago by Assessor OAR

ton to the matter on the basis Of the value
of the two franchises. Auditor Garrison

No Flag Stone Crossing.

The Commissioners have approved the re-
port of Superintendent OF Roads Morris
Hacker with reference to a request by the
Columbia Heights Citizens Association for
the laying of lagstone crossings at inter-
secting streets along 11th street northwest,
north of Florida avenue. Mr. Hacker stat
ed that IL had been found from experience
that the laying of flag crossings in a maca-
dam roadway defeats the very object for
which they are there placed, in that they
form a uon-resisting surface to vehicular
traffic. and the AUDITING material being
softer is soon worn into holes so that the
condition is worse than before the cross
ingS were laid.
