MAY TURN DOWN WALLA WALLA BAND

Is Walla Walla to be patriotic
enough to have her own military band
furnish the music for the Walla Wal
la county fair? Will the splendid local
musical organization be passed by for
a band imported from Spokane, Port
land or Seattle?
This question is creating consider
able excited discussion on the streets
today. Nothing connected with the
big fall show has stirred up things 10
cally as has the report that the Wal
la Walla Military band is to be turned
down in favor of an outside organiza-
ton. Friends of the local band de-
clare that a repetition Of the trouble
two years ago is certain to result.
Although the statement is made pos
itively that the Walla Walla band has
been turned down on its bid and ar
rangements have been made to engage
an outside band the county fair Off
cials found today insist there has been
no contract signed. Secretary Van
DeWater declared this noon that no
band had been engaged as yet and that
there positively had been no decision
arrived at.
No Contract Let.
"Can you state whether the con-
tract for the band work has been let!
was asked Secretary Van De Water.
There has been no contract let.
Those Italian boys are not coming
here. That was merely given out as
a feature story. There have been bids
rocoived from Kirschner's band Of

HOTTEST DAY IN 81 YEARS
Mean Temperature Last Month
LHoVered Around 81 Degrees
LAST JULY SEEMED LIKE AN ICEBERG
TWENTY-EIGHT WERE CLEAR
.o2 OF AN INCH OF
RAIN.
LAST JULY SEEMED LIKE AN ICEBERG

By a few rapid calculations Weather
Observer Newman figured out this
morning that last month was the hot
test July in "a years. "Whew! it was
hot wasn't it," the observer remarked,
striking a few balances and ascertain
ing that the mean temperature last
month was 80 degrees or 8 degrees
warmer than normal.
Last month was the hottest July
since the July of 1872, when the same
degree of temperature was recorded
the observer said after digging up
few records to compare last months
temperature with weather conditions
prevailing in former July months. We
thought last July was a scorcher but
the average temperature was only IS
degrees as compared with 80 last
month.

TUCSON. Ariz., Aug. 1.-Arthur NJ.

effect are false and are being pub
