GOOD BOOST FOR wALLA WALLA.

Morris Brothers, who bought Walla
Walla's $25O,0OO issue of water bonds,
are doing a great deal to advertise
Walla Walla through a circular sent
TO capitalists in every city In the
of Europe calling attention to the
value of these bonds, which they have
n,aced on the market. The circular re-
fers to Walla Walla as city OF e.
900 people (which from purely stand
point of agricultural surroundings is
the most important city in the state
of Washington, being the natural COM
mercial center of the great Inland EN-
pire' of the Pacific Northwest. 1t is In
the midst of a land of pleasant and
inyigorating climate, of varied and
beautiful scenic charms, of rich and
growing industries WalIa Walla coun-
ty produces more grain, fruit, garden
products, hay live stock and poultry
acre for acre. than any similar area
in the state of washington, if not in
the whole country. 1t has been esti-
mated that about $500 year for each
man. woman anu child in Walla Walla
county is received for the various sorts
of ranch products, an annual income,
which it is safe to assume, is not
euualed in this way anyW-.cfe else in
the world.
although primarily an agricultural
and horticultural center, Walla Walla
is becoming an extensive >-,anufactur-
ing point, having immel.-> milling in
dustries, one of the largest thresh-
ing machine works west of the Missis-
sippe river. lumber and planning mills,
woodworking concerns, tannery. etc.
Being one of the Oldest established as
we'll as one Of the richest communities
of the northwest, the city of Walla
Walla naturally possesses many SUI
perior advantages, both from an econo-
mic and an educational standpoint. 1t
is the junction point Of a network of
railroad lines and branches affording
first class transportation facilities to a
very large surrounding territory, maxi
ing it the natural financial, shipping
and trading center of the whole Sec
ton. It has six fine public school
buildings, constructed entirely of brick
and stone. valued at approximately
s4OO. 900: Whitman college and other
private schools in the city own prop

banking institutions. having a COM
bined capital and surplus of about
$3.50, 900. with deposits of approximately
IS, 000. 900. Business concerns OF every
character far outranking those usually
found in cities of it's size, together
with fine churches, good newspapers,

ness blocks and public buildings, first
class electric lighting system. make it
a very substantial and attractive mod

handsome homes and social advan-

Such commendatory literature as
this regarding Walla Walla sent to
every part of the United States as
we'll as to the Capitalists of Europe
is certain to do the city a great deal
of good in the way of legitimate adj
vertising.
