Not an H Month.

1t was a brOiling August day. -Four
tired, sweltering, discouraged fisher
men sat at the table Of wayside inn
eating their dinner. The soup was
steaming hot. the fried steak siZzled
ON hot plates, the torrid baked potatoes
burned incautious fingers, and the
fiercely hot coffee scalded reckless
tongues. Even the water was rather
more than lukewarm.
"Such dinner" growled one of the
uncomfortable party, Ito set before
folks on hot dayw
Presently the maid entered to re-
move the plates. She asked a question
that filed the tired. hot fishermen with
joyful expectations. What she said
sounded like this:
Are you ready for your iceT'
Ice! OF course they were ready
They dropped their forks, abandoned
their coffee and leaned back In their
chairs to await the coming dessert
They could fairly feel it slipping down
their hot threats in cool, delicious
spoonfuls. Lemon ice, pineapple Ice

The dessert came. It was huge disn-
es of steaming boiled rice.
With one accord the fishermen push
ed back their chairs and fed from
that dining room. It was the last

PLEASED WITH WAllA WAllA
Deputy State Factory Inspector Finds
Much to Compliment Us On In
Way Of Progress.

People of Walla Walla who are en-
gagged in any work requiring the use
of machinery, are using every possible
means to avoid a clash with the law !;
in fact in most instances they are even
going the law one better by having
machinery of such a character, and
keeping it in a condition that goes
beyond legal requirements" said L.
L. Hubbard, deputy state factory in.
spector, who paid the city an official
visit yesterday.
Inspector Hubbard also said he had
found in his official journey about the
state a vast amount of sentiment in
favor of the open river, that even in
his own home at Olympia the people
were farsighted enough to see that
the open river project would benefit
the entire state.
Mr.. Hubbard complimented the man
ufacturers of Walla Walla highly for
their spirit in living ZIP to the law
and not trying to stuff their profits
by using cheap machinery and I'M
sanitary and crowded quarters.
He was of the opinion that Walla
Walla would become a big manufacture
ing center because it has the power,
the raw material and the labor all
easily accessible.
He said: 81 think that a city which
is capable of such marvellous growth
in so short time as this has been
must have the kind of men within
it which will take full advantage of all
their opportunities"

to evade those conditions?"
eff only you could she said visit
fully, but. Jim, don't see how we
possibly can do anything. We must
travel either by land or water"
II have an idea," he said mysterious
ly. Il think that 1 can make that
promise hold good and yet take you
away"
She smiled family as she turned her
face up for kiss. Three months be-
fore she and Jim had started to elope.
Years before there had been bitter feel
ing between their fathers over a village
election, and since then the elders had
kept up the feud.
Jim and Marion had fallen in love,
and they were halfway to Carrsville
before they were overtaken by George
Halpin. He was white with anger,
and his finger twitched nervously on
the trigger Of revolver as he COM
handed Marion to descend from the
IL
wagon.
There had been a drive home in alb
solute silence which in the stiffness Of
the night had worked on the girls
feelings in strange fashion, and when
at last the home was reached he had
led her into the parlor, where the fam
lily Bible lay in state ON the center
table.
Solemnly he had placed her hand
upon the sacred book and had made
her swear not to clOpe with Jim. Not
content with general oath, he had
sought to make it more binding by
specifying every means of transit he
could imagine, and when the girl had
at last staggered to her bedroom it
was with the feeling that Jim was lost
to her. Her promise was the price of
his life, and the promise once made
could not be broken.
For time Jim had seemed content,
but now he had suddenly changed his
mind, and somehow he had communi-
Gated some of his hope to her. She
was willing to go away with him and
get married if only means could be
found to escape the letter of her obi
cation, but her father had made it so
binding that she could not see how a
loophole could be found.
1t was not until q few weeks later
that 1 found the explanation. On her
way back from the store she encoun-
tered Jim on the road. He came to-
ward her smilingly.
1--WE got it all fixed" he declared
beamingly. "Your father made you
swear that you would not elope with
me on land or sea. He didn't say any
thing about going through the air, did
neT'
"Why should he?" she asked. Unit,
we learn how to fly l don't see how
that is possible"
But we can fy," he insisted. Look
here"
He drew from his pocket a copy of a
paper black with heavy type and cuts.
There among the advertisements of
can racks, powders for making orange
cider and ice cream cones was the pic
ture Of man in an airship.
"You know" he explained, "I'n the
chairman of the entertainment COM
mittee Of the County Fair association.
Well. 1 saw this advertisement. and I
wrote the chap. He gives exhibitions,
and he will be around here next week.
