WALLA WALLA GROWING.

That our neighbors appreciate the
commercial and municipal advance of
Walla Walla is evidenced by an edi-
torial in the Seattle Observation-Disclosures.
1t is a fitting tribute to the historic
city. The editorial follows:
1t appears from dispatches to the
Post-Intelligencer that Walla Walla's
city council and its commercial club
are both on record as favoring the ap-
plication for new charter to create
Walla Walla city of the first class.
According to the census of 1900, Walla
Walla at the time had over 10000 pop
ulation and this was increased by the
census bureau estimate of 1903 to
nearly 10000. With a great growth
of settlement in Eastern Washington
in the region adjacent and tributary to
Walla Walla, it is more than likely
that the Garden City is now amply
qualified, when she pulls herself to-
oNSAANi' W SAeSl IAiC S1SICIllOOu VI 1TSI
class cities in the state of Washington.
Walla Walla is one of the oldest set
! Elements in this state. Nearly every
foot of ground in and around it is
historic and now it ranks very high
among the cities of its own class in
the United States. There are no pre-
! else figures at hand fully to warrant
the assertion that Walla Walla Is
probably the richest city in the United
I! States of its size, but enough evil
dence is at hand in its bank deposits
and other proofs of wealth to make it
| apparent that in financial way Walla
Walla stands very near the head Of it's
class in the nation. Intensive farming
which has only recently begun to be
practised in the walla Walla valley,
has added and will continue to add
largely to it's wealth and population. It
is natural therefore that Walla Walla
should wish to abandon the old terri
torial charter under which it has been
working and to put on the new dress
of a first class city, to which it is
justly entitled.

LONG RANGE WEATHER.

Government Bureau to Make Prei1c-
lions . Week In Advance.
After quietly experimenting with long
range weather forecasting all summer
and meeting with the most flattering
success, the United States weather bu-
reau, it was recently announced by
Chief Willis L. Moore, is ready to en-
ter upon a new departure Of predicting
weather conditions in advance for pc
RODS of several days at time, says a
Washington correspondent Of the New
York Tribune.
Supplementing the regular twenty
four hours bulletin Of the weather bu-
reau with which the public Is so ia
miliar. there will soon be issued an
other report, which will be Of supreme
interest to the farmer, the fisherman or
any Of those whose plans are dependent
upon the changes in atmospheric condi-
lions.
The new forecast will tell whether
there is to be rain for whole week,
whether q hot spell Is coming that
would render a weeks end visit to the
seashore particularly suspicious. wheth-
er the youngsters home for the Christ
mas holidays are to have a week Of
sleighing and snowballing or will be
affected by any other contingencies in
which the weather plays a part.
The government weather experts will
appear in q more ambitious role than
they have ever attempted before. Be-
ginning by predicting the general char
acter Of the weather-6or a week at
time, the forecasters hope eventually
to peer into the future for even greater
periods and eventually to tell the farm
er the climatic conditions likely to pre-
vail for the whole season. The expert
ments conducted this summer were
forecasts for six days at a time. The
work is under Professor Garriott, chief
observer, and he forwarded his observa-
tons to Chief Moore.

and delightfully."- satirical and humorous
comments on familiar American and
foreign social institutions.
But with all due regard for the dra-
matist's merits, the play unquestion-
ably owes it's success to the admirable
performance Of "Mr. Pipp" by Digby
Bell. Not in a long time have the cri-
tics Of New York and other large cities
been so unstinted in their praise of an
actors work. They have not hesitated
to indulge in superlatives and have
paid recognition of Mr.. Bells new
character creation as one of the finest
comedy representations that the Ameri-
can stage has known in many years.
In his makeup Mr.. Bell is the veri-
table "Pipp" of the drawings and it
seems as if ne had but stepped from
the book to the stage; but Mr.. Bell
has vitalized the drawing with good

and original American type-that Of a

Do you mark the sidestepping OF tne
keen. shrewd Mr.. Mexican? He does
not refer back to his boastful claim Oh
SAG. 600 as the total cost.
Instead, he declares it was an &C
commodation" on the part OF the con-
struction company to loan its men 10

the work it could not do.
Forgetting his declaration 'ha'
SAG 900 covered the cost and was only
$4,000 over the estimate, Mr.. Mexican
also admits:
1.-The work was not finished by the
Warren people through any fauit OF
theirs. The pipe was not hnisneo
when the city took the work OH thelr
hands and of course the ditch could
not be refilled. The city took the war
rem Company's men to build the mead
works.
If this is not admission of misrepre-
sentation we know not the meaning OF
the word.

Condensation: Hearst Mixed Pickles"
Louisville Courier-Journal.
1t is here where the shoe pinches;
because it seems impossible, under ex-
listing conditions, to unite them. The
opposition is broken into groups. The
split of 1896 was widened by the cpl
sode of 1904. AS a consequence the
return Of Mr.. Bryan factionism's
first victim, was welcomed by all the
groups except the Hearst group. There
was a hope that Bryan might achieve
the required union. That hope is not
yet extinct. But, the Bryan uprising is
met by the Hearst demonstration; and
Hearstism is democracy crossed with
socialism, with strong paternal lean
ings. Thus, in New York the campaign
becomes an affair of mixed pickles,
the label On neither jar disclosing the
contents, and, in case the Hearst label
wins, the trade in mixed pickles will
extend itself al lover the union.
Moral: Skin your eyes, boys, and
keep your powder dry!

HEARST AS AN INCORPORATION

For a long time it has been mys-

The matter published in his papers

Yet this state Of affairs should con-

newspapers are always right ana,

matter. He discovered that one reason

ONE DEAD AND ANOTHER DYING
Results in Tragedy Near
Cleveland.

A terrible accident is reported from
Soda Springs as having occurred at the
Anderson ranch near Cleveland, Sun
day afternoon, as a result of which
Kate Anderson, aged 10, is dead. and
Ethel Ames, aged II, the daughters of
neighbor, lies fatally wounded, says
the Boise Statesman.
Owing to the isolation Of the Ander-
son home no details are obtainable, but
the story brought by the first reports
indicate that the combination of the
careless small boy and loaded shot
gun are responsible for the awful re-
suits.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson were away
from home all Sunday afternoon, and
their daughter, Katie, in company with
Ethel Ames, the daughter of neigh
Dor, was eating dinner at the Anderson
ranch, when the 11-year- old son of the
Andersons entered the dining room on
his return from a hunting trip. Rails
ing a double barreled shotgun, he play
fully commanded the girls to throw up
their hands. BY accident both barrels
of the gun were discharged, blowing
the entire side of the Anderson girls

The form will be that Of St An

length and area, and 1t will be set d.
agonally on the square, with arms In
the direction Of the cardinal points Of
the compass and to the diagonal streets
terminating at the corners Of the park.
The building will have an extreme
length from north to south and from
east to west of 42O feet The width Of
the end arms will be 100 feet. A fea-
ture Of the design Is the entrances,
there being an entrance to the building
on the ground floor at the end of each
arm. with continuous and uninter-
rupted vista entirely through the build
ing at the inner angles Of the cross.
On the principal floor there are curved
porticos surmounted by half domes.
They land directly In the rotunda, from
which four grand staircases ascend to
the second floor. Under the outer ter
race of steps leading to these entrances
are the carriage entrances, so arranged
that they will be reached by straight
drives from the four avenues.
The rotunda, reaching from the
ground floor to the top of the dome.
will be eighty-four feet in diameter and
1856 feet high. Its walls and openings
will be embellished with columns Of
marble and granite and with its encir-
cling octagonal corridor will constitute
an imposing architectural composition.
The exterior diameter of the dome Is
1O2 feet and the height from ground to
top of statue on top Is 276 feet.
The building will rest on a terrace
raised several feet above the surround
ing streets and inclosed with stone
balustrade. The sides Of this terrace
will be parallel with the streets encir-
cling the park. This, together with the
entrances at the corners, will give a
logical setting for the building placed
diagonally in the park.

stories as to why. Word has coma
from Havana that some Of the insur.
gents there have accused him of da-

cusation which recently moved friend
Of General Funston to tell the rea,
story Of how he came to leave the Gu
ban service. In which he had fought
for nearly two years.
At the fight at Las Tunas, which was
the most severe of the instruction
Funston commanded battery of artil-
lery which included a dynamite gun
The battle lasted for fifty-one hours
and ended in the defeat Of the Span
iards. Immediately after 1t Funston
left the Cubans and surrendered to the
Spaniards, by whom he was turned
over to General Lee, consul general at
Havana.
According to the story, Funston quit
the Cubans because he saw them de-
liberately violate the white flag and
butcher a Spanish officer and forty
six men. 1t was just at the close Of
the battle that a little white flag was
raised. over one Of the Spanish block
houses, and the officer in command left
it to parley with the Cubans.
The Cuban who commanded the in
surgents operating against the block
house went forward to meet the Span
lard. The Spaniard was alone, but the
Cuban officer took one man, negro,
with him. AS the two officers met the,
Cuban turned away and gave a sign to
the negro, who chopped the Spaniard
to pieces then and there with his ma
chete. Soon afterward the blockhouse
surrendered, and the Cubans. in order
to conceal the butchery of the Spanish
officer, had the entire garrison Of forty
six men chopped down with machetes.
Funston saw it, but was pOwerless to
prevent the massacre. 1t sickened him
of service with the Cubans, however.
and he never gave another stroke in
their behalf.
