Guided in the boundaries which our
committee proposed, but | also believe
they cannot be included without run
ming the risk of having the whole prop
osition voted down. The committee in
Guided as large an area as possible
with the idea that we would only an
mex as much as we thought could be
brought in by majority vote. After
carfully going over the ground we de-
termined that it was better to cut down
the first recommendations. not because
it included any which should not be
brought in, but because it included
so many opponents to annexation that
it would be impossible to carry it.
Committee Gets No Thanks.
Those who have been most instru-
mental in securing this last petition
were the most strenuous in opposition
to the former one. The reason seems
proposition top heavy. l don't believe
many people who signed it did so
knowing it was a subterfuge to pre-
vent extension. The work of the COM
mittee has been a thankless job but
we have tried to do the best we could
for the city and believe that if you
do not adopt their report that you will
not get annexation at all
Attorney Barker spoke for the Pc
titioners. He said they had four days
to sign the petition in whereas the
other petition had been circulated hur-
riedly for half day.
"You established a precedent" he
said. last meeting when you said a
petition signed by one fifth of the le-
gal voters of the city asking for ar
extension of the boundaries of the city
compelled you to act on that petition.
What is sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander and now you must fol-
low your precedent and act upon this
one also. I have felt all along that
you have been asking too much. l
think the whole thing should be settled
amicably in a fair and just spirit to
all concerned. in a spirit of compro-
mise. AS it is now some feel their
hands have been tied and they have
not been treated fairly. They will take
all steps that can be taken legally to
defeat the measure unless they are
treated fairly. If we are forced into
the city so must others nearer than we,
is their cry
Both Schemes May be Voted On.
A suggestion was made that both
schemes be submitted to the voters at
the same election. G. n. Hatch, an in
terested property owner, who had cir
culated the new petition stated the
position of himself and those who were
/ situated in like manner. Il don't want
to come in. but am willing to take my
medicine if it is for the good of the
city. l don't like to be forced, though.
and if / am, l demand that others
whose property should come in before
for a square deal"
The whole matter was referred to
he judiciary committee and it is pos
sible that both propositions may be
voted upon.
The discovery that the new petition
included the fair grounds brought out
suggestion from Councilman Glasford
to the effect that I'VE could then take
the census when the fair was in ses-
sion and have the biggest popula ton

placed in the hands of the transpor-

Ought to Adjust Railroad Fare.
The difference in the amount of
railroad fare between Walla Walla and
Portland and Walla Walla and Seattle
and Tacoma in favor of Portland was
brought to the attention of the club
1t was argued that the fare should be
placed on an equal basis. AS result
the Washington cities would be visited
more frequently A harmony of inter
est between the west side cities and
Walla Walla which would be advan-
tageous to Walla Walla would spring
up. The question was also submitted
to the transportation committee.
An effort is being made by the club
to change the meeting night from
Tuesday evening to Wednesday even
ing. AS the city council meets Tues
day evenings it is believed better
attendance can be secured Wednes-
days. A resolution was introduced to
that effect yesterday evening. This
question will be taken up Friday
evening.

an Sunday night, in a manner that won
the sympathy and applause of the
audience. Although handicapped, she
was easily one of the best in the large
cast in Augustin Days musical COM
pany.
Her comedy is of the dainty, pleas
ing sort and her singing is clear and
sweet
But the role of. Sam Collins, which
was to make fun within a framework
of music, was one of the hardest and
was most successfully done. If you
had any doubt NV spontaneous and
funny his fun was, all you had to do
was to watch the usually sedate and
blase orchestra. The bass viol shook,
the snare drum Uttered and the first
violin was so tickled several times
that Alfred MOulton, the directO>.
brandished his baton at him warning

nished the major part of the fun
throughout the play.
The first act of THE Country Girl"
affords a delightfully."- realistic view of
a Devonshire estate with it's varied
types of characters. The second act
is laid in the Palace of Fine Arts, Lon

lords of nobility gather for fancy
