Big Deficiency in RainfaIl-A big de-
ficiency in the amount of rainfall since
January exists, according to Observer
Newman of the Walla Walla weather
office. The deficiency up to this morn
ing was 1.99 inches and it is increasing
being the normal amount of rain that
should fall every day this month. So
far this month there has not been suf :.
ficient rainfall to measure, and in jan
uary, generally a pretty wet month,
there was but SO of an inch.

Erect Fine Residence-Building
operations give promise of keeping
pace with the street improvements
contemplated by the council again this
year and many fine residences will be
erected in Walla Walla this spring and
summer. Among those to be con-
structed early this spring will be one
by DR.. C. N. Suttner, who is having
plans drawn for an $4,000 home to be
erected on his property at the corner
of Palouse and Birch streets. The
property was recently reported to have
been sold to the First Presbyterian
church, but this was an error.

Too Cloudy for Eclipse-Many Walta
Wallans who kept late hours last night
in order to get a glimpse of the eclipse
of the moon were doomed to disap-
pointment Heavy banks Of clouds OBJ
scured the heavens all night and only
at long intervals was the moon dis :
cernible at all through the thick mass
of fog. Observer Newman in his Of
fetal capacity sat up until IL O'CLOCK
frequently craning his neck out of his
office windows to see if he could eaten
a glimpse of the phenomenon, but gave
pu the job in disgust and retired as
did many other Walla Wallans who
lost several hours sleep for nothing.
Police Circles Quiet-Except for I,
drunk or two picked up occasionally,
disturbers of the peace and dignity OF
the commonwealth are lying low Of

Barley Outlook Is Exeellent-B. NJ.
Turner. the well-known barley grower
of Turner station, is in the city on
business today. 1.-The barley acreage
in what is called the barley belt above
DAYTON is large again this year." Mr..
Turner said yesterday evening. "The
winter has been very favorable for all
kinds of cereals in Columbia county
and there is every indication of q
bumper crop again this year. The
price of land is steadily advancing, but
as a matter of fact Columbia county
farmers know they have a good thing
and very few sales of farm land are
being made. 1t was different 10 years
ago during the hard times"
