OTHER ROADS ARE NOT SATISFACTORY
Board Visited Roads West of the City
and Found Them Breaking
Up Rapidly.

The macadamized road west of Wal
la Walla is disintegrating so rapidly
that the county commissioners have
decided to postpone the Improvement
of the lower Milton road, authorized at
the last meeting, until some time this
fall. Commissioners Morrow and Nc
Cav made a trip of inspection over the
macadamized road west of the city
yesterday and their decision to delay
matchmaking the Milton road was
reached after they saw how badly the
Wallula roadbed was falling to pieces
under heavy traffic.
Both Mr.. Morrow and myself deem
it wise to delay improving the Milton
road-bed until we see what can be
done to preserve the road west of the
city that was macadamized," Commits

BENEFIT PERFORMANCE A SUCCESS
Efforts of Manager catron Of keyior
Grand Result In Good Sum
for Relief Fund.

The benefit performance given at the
Keylor Grand last night for the San
Francisco sufferers was a big success.
The theatre was comfortably filled
with Walla Walla citizens who re-
sponded to assist in swelling the re-
lief fund. The performance by the
Eckhart company was one of the best
that the organization has given. The
singing of Professor T. ]. Pencil and
his cello solo were enjoyable num-
bers and were greatly appreciated by
the audience. Mrs. Thompson gave a
beautiful solo between acts two an
three. in which she acquitted herself
with great credit. Miss Fowler fairly
captured the audience by the rendition
in an artistic manner of a soprano solo
and was compelled to respond to an
encore The quartet composed of Mrs.
B. o. Driver, Miss Paddock, Guy AL
len Turner and Mr.. Richardson gave
two good vocal selections which proved
to be gems of the evenings entertain
ment.
The total receipts of the house were
s19S and this amount, except $45 per-
sonal expenses of the Lyceum COM
pany, will be donated to the general
relief fund. The management of the
theater donated all its share of the re-
ceipts of the house, not taking a cent

WALLA WALLA, April 25, 1906.
To the Public: In advertising the
benefit for the San Francisco sufferers
the management of the Keylor Grand
theater announced that music would

sent Of the officers of the band. The

to have donated its services for the
occasion had it's officers been solicited
to do so. We deem this explanation
is due the public to place the organi-
cation in a proper light before the cit
liens of Walla Walla.

mile of road built by the government
is in fair condition, but the stretch
built by the Blalock company is rap
idly crumbling to pieces. In the mile
built by the government several holes
are showing and some repairs Will be
necessary to keep the road in condi.
ton. The greatest danger to macad-
amized roads is in not keeping them
thoroughly sprinkled during the dry
constant expense and the question
now is whether the county would be
justified in going ahead with the lower
Milton road before fall or until we
see how we can preserve the roadbed
without too much expense.
1T would prove serious matter to
be compelled to sprinkle several miles
of road twice a day during the dry
season but as it seems necessary to
preserve the road, this is a matter that
requires serious consideration by the
commissioners and the property own
ers using the road. The board has
decided to wait until this fall before
starting on the work Of improving the
lower Milton road as contemplated.
BY that time we may be able to find
some way to preserve the roadbed
without being compelled to sprinkle it

LEMON FOR GRAFTERS.
Government Fruit Experts Expected

to the surprise of officials of his de-

tree filed with lemons when they were

Several months ago Professor b. G.

in grating Florida orange upon a
japanese orange tree known as La
Foliata. Their object was to get an
orange tree that would grow in a eli

Folata is hardy and produces oranges
in cool climates, and"it WAS believed a
hybrid might be produced that would
be just the thing to, Introduce orange

Instead of oranges the hybrid has
produced lemons, a fruit almost equal
