this question:
'.Now, children. after the farmer has
made all the butter and cheese he
needs and uses what milk be wants for
his family. what does he do with the
milk that still remains?"

licit subscriptions for the proposed
celebration of the Fourth Of July is
still at work Today the committee
was making a canvass of the business
houses on Alder street and expected
to complete the work late this after

feel that Walla Walla should hold a
big celebration this year and it is
hoped that the committee will be able
to secure a sufficient fund for that
purpose.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 23-
The war department is in the market
for several types of trunks or boxes.
one type Of which will ultimately be
adopted and $4,000 of them will be

intended for special trunks for enlisted
men. Every soldier sailing for the
Philippines after this will be permitted
to purchase them at the contract price.
This trunk Is of standard dimensions
so as to afford easy and economical
storage. 1t will hold all soldier is
likely to need on a long trip. 1t is very
light, being made of a patented ma
terial of great strength, reinforced by
metal frame. A similar trunk will
be used by the veterinarians for carry
ing their material, and another one
of different shape but similar construc-
ton will be used as a field desk. The
lid drops down in such a way as to.
furnish a writing table, while the pig
con holes of various sizes afford a
means of storing papers. This desk
trunk will be used by officers Of the
staff who have paper work. to do in
the field.

NO EUROPEAN CRUISE FOR M|DD|E5
WouId-be Naval Officers Will Have
No Chance to Cross the Big
Pond.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May %
There was considerable talk of sending
the midshipmen to Europe this year,
during their cruise on the various ships
assigned to the duty of taking them
on a summer trip. Every now and
then some one suggests that trip to
European waters would be- an educa-
ton, as we'll as a diversion, in the
training of the midshipmen at sea,
but the navy department has never IA
vored the idea, and does not now feel
that any advantages would be derived
from such a trip, although, of course
it would be enjoyable enough for the
Young men to go abroad. The officers
would find it more or less of a tax,
however, since at the various ports
touched by the ships there would be
certain obligations in the way OF enter
tainment. This would mean great ex-
pense. which most of the officers view
with no special pleasure. 1t is held'
also that the summer cruises should
be practical in all respects, and snoulo
be a part of the training of the mid
Simmer. It would have quite another
ASPECT if the midShipmen were TAKEN
on a round of the European ports
The cruise will. therefore, be connneo
to home waters

Congress Will Be Asked for Appro-

Proposed Monument.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May %
Strong efforts are being made to induce
Congress to make the necessary appro-
priation for the purpose Of securing
site upon which to erect a memorial
monument in honor of Henry Wads-
worth Longfellow is to be erected. The
matter has been brought to the atten-
ton of congress by the house commit
tee on library, which recommends the
appropriation of $4,000 for the prepara-
ton of a suitable site. The mOnu-
ment, for which the LOngfellow Me-
mortal association has already raised
a considerable sum, is to be erected in
this city and the government will be
asked to give suitable site some
where on the public grounds, other
than the. grounds of the capitol or the
library of congress.

YOUNG MEN WILL DIRECT THE CANVASS
COMMITTEE ORGANIZED BY THE
ELECTION OF JOHN w.
LANGDoN AS CHAIRMAN.

In response to written request
made by Secretary Carey of the local
Y. M. c. A. committee about thirty
young men met in the rooms of the
Walla Walla Commercial club last
night and took steps toward assist
ing in raising more for the building
fund. 1t was decided to make a. cam
vass among the young men of the city
and solicit subscriptions. 1t is de-
sired to raise about $2oOn by this
means. John w. Langdon was elected
chairman Of the committee; Phillip M.
Winans, ce-chairman, and C. Arthur
Jones secretary.
The plan Of having a large clock
placed on some prominent business
corner, showing the amount of money
raised by the committee and other
boosters was adopted After a discus
sion of the advisability of having
noon lunch from II a. m. to l o, m.
during this crusade, where the men,
bers of the committee might meet and
check up the amount of their pledges
which are to move the hands of the
clock, the matter was referred to a
committee appointed to investigate it
farther.
Sub committees of various kinds
were appointed, and twenty captains
will be selected each of whom will
have five assistants. The squads will
work separately and in conjunction,
in order that the entire city and sur
rounding country may be covered sys-
tematically.
The committee has not enrolled its
full quota of one hundred as yet, and
will welcome the assistance of any
volunteers who are willing to tender

that has arisen each year could be OBJ

be secured SO that he could be reached
at any and all times.
torneys stated that Engineer Shotwell
had covered the pipe line survey in
the state Of Washington and that the
next work would take him into Ore

the legislature be asked to pass an act
authorizing the city of Waila walla
t. acquire and hold land in the state
Of Oregon in order that waters near
the EeadwOrks could be protected

it would also be necessary for the
Oregon legislature to pass an act to
allow Walla Walla to acquire the lands
and that the Washington legislature
should be asked to pass a law confer
ring the same popews on cities in Ore
gon. The communications were placed
on file and the attorneys instructed to
