c. A. Beck who bought the Thonney
place just east of the new Berney
school last year has plated the tract
into town lots and acre tracts and will
put the property on the market Sep
TENDER l.
The new residence district has been
named East Walla Walla. The prop
erty is, considered one of the finest
suburban tracts around Walla Walla
and Mr. Beck has already disposed
of a number of lots at private sale.
The lots are 60 by 40 feet in size and
will be held at 1925 and $3.50, the
price depending on the location.
The Thonney place for years has
been leased for gardening purposes
and the land is in high state of Gull
tivation. The territory surrounding
East Walla Walla is quite densely
populated and the directors of the
Berney district are contemplating an
addition to the new Berney school to
accommodate the rapid increase in the
school population the past year.

SPLENDID BAND CONCERT.

One of the most delightful and best
rendered band concerts ever enjoyed
in Walla Walla was that given by the
Walla Walla concert band in the court
house square last night. The boys
were all on edge and considerable
more life and class were injected into
their playing.
The renditiOns of "POet and Pleas
ant" of LA Paloma" and "The Bur-
gomaster," were particularly good and
were followed by enthusiastic en-
cores.
Much credit is due to Harry J. Rum
mel, the present bandmaster, who has
demonstrated ability as a leader OF
good class.
Another concert will be given next
Sunday night.

NEW BOATS WILL Be BUILT LARGER

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 30
The naval board of construction IS
lust now considering the preliminary
plans for the torpedo boat destroyers
which are to be built for the govern
ment this year. The new destroyers,
according to the tentative proposition,
will be larger than any hitherto built
for this government, but not as large
as some of the vessels of that type
under construction abroad. The naval
constructrs fOresee that the develop
ment of the destroyer will soon bring
if into the class of the scout, and all
ready the merging is perceptible in
the construction of the ella IS abroad.
The destroyer has come into larger
function in connection with the sub
marine, and will undoubtedly, the ex-
perts predict, lead to the extinction
of the harbor defense vessel of the
old monitor type and, possibly, the
torpedo boat, the functions of which
have been appropriated by its foe, the
destroyer The new destroyers will
have increased speed and larger ra-
dius of action, more powerful arma-
ment, and VIII be CORES DOndingly
more of a fighting machine of the
deep.

Vitality OF a Frogs Heart.

There is no living creature, according
to a West Philadelphia surgeon, that
has heart with as much vitality as a
frog, especially the species commonly
known as the water frog.
1t is generally known that the
aquatic frog will survive for months
after the hind legs have been removed.
Of course, he cannot hop about as he
could before losing his principal means
of transit, but his forelegs help him to
crawl wherever he desires to go.
"When 1 began to learn surgery
made a special dissection Of a frog one
day. 1 laid the various parts of the
body on table and discovered that life
was extinct within a few hours in
every organ except the heart.
''The heart showed valvular motion
for a day after it had been severed
entirely from the body.
81 am not aware that any other
creatures heart is possessed of such
vitality. "-Philadelphia Telegraph.

Mclean was something more than
two-thirds of the way down the alley;
the door was at least fifty feet away.
A pungent, lurid smoke lighted by
incessant explosions, overhung every.

zigzagged viciously and aimlessly
nere and there. Purple green and
violet flames told where mines were
burning. The floor shook with the
deafening detonations Of the dyna

The Waterman wondered if his eyes
and ears would ever be good for any
thing again.
A crash shook the building; a par

ignited. Then on a sudden the whole

fire. 1t was a most gorgeous cele-

cracker barked between them, and
the dog disappeared. The next in
slant sight filled him with horror.
On a table that he must pass stood
a wooden box, which he knew to be
full of packages OF strong powder
used in preparing certain fireworks.
Close by it a heap of paper waste
was burning, and the flames were
creeping rapidly nearer. When they

Forgetting his sprain the Waterman
plunged wildly forward. Compared
with that box even the rockets and
giant crackers sunk into insignifi-
canoe.
Could he get to the stairway before
the fire touched the powder? Terror
cramped his muscles. His eyes were
fastened on the creeping flames. He
passed the box and hurried on. The
door was still ten feet off.
A paralyzing nightmare seemed to
Cypress the Waterman. He felt as il
his soles were glued to the ,,oards, as
if he were dragging an invisible ball

Love, give me enc of thy dAar hands

Take thou my tired head upon thy
breast;
Now sing to me tat song we loved
Of old
The low, sweet song about our
litIIe nest.
We knew the song before the nest
was ours;
We sang the song when first the
nest was found;
We loved the song in after, happier
hours,
When peace came to us, and con-
tent profound.
Sing the cid song to me, tonight, be-
loved,
While l. my head upon thy faithful

See wondrous visions in the fair fire

And our whole hearts are satisfied

Better than all our one-time dreams

Are peace, content and rest secure as
this.

we had leave
To enter joys wide vineyard in our
prime,
Good guerdon for our waiting to
receive.
Love gave us no frail pledge of sum-
mer flowers,
But side by side we reaped the har-
vest fields;
Now, side by side we pass the winter
hours,
And day by day new blessings are
revealed.
The fever heat of youth, its restless
glow,
It's high desires and cravings mani

It's wild delights, it's victories and de-

Goodrich Steamer Atlanta Destroyed

The big Goodrich steamer Atlanta, val

cargo of shipping, was burned to the
waters edge Sunday. That night the
charred wreck of the steamer which had
carried thousands of tourists to the north
ern lake resorts was beached on the coast
twelve miles south of Sheboygan. Vessel
and cargo are a complete loss. One life
was lost and fifty-nine members of the
crew and two passengers had experiences
which turned some of the hairs in their
heads gray. When all hope of reaching
land with the burning steamer had been
abandoned the crew and two passengers
took to the lifeboats and were later pick
ed up by the tug Tester and still later
by the Atlanta's sister ship, the Georgia.
and were brought to Sheboygan, suffering
from the mental strain and nervousness
to which the trying ordeal of facing an
awful death for several hours had sub

was almost no sea and little wind was it
due that there was not a frightful loss of
life. The one man drowned was Michael
