the Commercial club are carried out.
The proposition is to erect modern
brick building which will not only ~:
a home for commercial travellers, but
will form an extra inducement for
Walla Walla people to Sunday at Free
water S'hen the ne welectrlc ln1e IS
completed.
A location for this building was de-
cided upon as the site of the present
Freewater hotel. The association rs
announced it's intention OF having a
building 100 feet wide facing Main
street by 20 feet deep and two stories
high. the lower floor being divided INTO
office and dinind rooms for the hotel.
an two business apartments. while
the upper floor will be devoted to the
sleeping apartments of the institution,
in addition to which will be three or
four offices.
. Several Individual members of the
commercial association have guaran-
teed the investment to realize per
cent.
The cost of this hotel is estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000.
A tenant has already signlhed MS
desire to lease the hotel for a term
of years and no trouble is anticipated
in securing permanent renters for the
rest of the building.

DIES IN FAR OFF ARIZONA
John Eckman, Whitman College
Student, Passes Away

Whitman college mOurns. Scarcely
a Reynolds girl or Billings boy but
whose eyes We're moist yesterday
evening when the news came from
Arizona that John Eckmann was dead
The student body was much inter-
ested in the poor Finnish student
whom they had sent to Arizona, in the
hope the dry atmosphere and sunny
skies would stay the progress Of the
grim malady which was killing him.
All felt when they said goodbye it was
for the last time, but still it was not
thought the end would come so soon.
Eckmann will be buried at the ex-
pense of Whitman college. The au-
thorities at Phoenix received instruc-
tons to that effect from Professor
Hendrick yesterday. The body will not
be brought back here but the man who
spent the greater portion of his life
in the chilly mines of Alaska will sleep
beneath the star studded 1;rmamentsof
the Southland.
In the death of Ecl1mann a most ro-
mantle life comes to a close. A poor
Finnish boy he spent his youth in the
mines Oh Alaska, lOlllHS Ill the cal III
for gold IA years. Converted by a
missionary he resolved ito know as
we'll as be" and after learning the rudi-
ments under the tutelage of his good
friend he came to Seattle and entered
the public schools. When he graduated
last June from the grammar grades
he came to Whitman and entered
Pearsons academy. Almost penniless
when he arrived here he supported
himself by washing windows and jani-
tor work until the ravages Of pulmOn-
airy tuberculosis made such inrOads
upon his system that his feeble con-
dition was noticed by the college au-
thorities.
Funds for his trip to Arizona in
search of health were made up by Bill
ings boys and charitable friends OF
the college. The students subscribed
$50 out of their slender purses to
send their comrades south. They saw
him safely off on the train. The first
tidings received We're those that he
was no more.
