MAILS TO HELP IN CRUSADE
N. /. Paxton Sends 300 Postal:
to Farmers Of County

Postals cards to the number of 300
are being sent out by M. H. Paxton to-
day to different farmers of Walla Wal
la county telling them of the mass
meeting to be held in the Commercial
club rooms at o'clock Saturday in
order to devise methods of stopping the
hired man famine"
p. NJ Winans, also a member of the
committee in charge of arrangements
for the meeting said this morning:
1T has not yet been definitely de-
cided just what will be done. A man
may be sent east to bring men out to
relieve the situation. We wish to nave
the farmers organize an employment
agency or adopt any other means they
wish to get men. We simply want TO
assure them that the Commercial cluo
is back of any thing they wish to DO.
The fact that many men are not out OF
employment near Portland in the
strikes in the mills may make this an
opportune time to secure the necessary
help as most of these men are well ac-
ouainted with farm work"

WHITMAN TO FIN0 JOBS
FOR GOOD GRADUATES

Hereafter when a Whitman college
student gets his sheepskin "he is not to
be turned loose to shift for himself and
feel the fangs of the cold, cruel world"
A special committee of the college
faculty has been appointed to stake out
a nice, fat job in which he can win
glory for his alma mater as well as
sheckles for himself.
Graduates have been assisted by the
faculty as individuals before this but
now the finding of soft places for the
products of the brain incubator to
alight upon will be done Systematically.

Investigation of the price of garbage
incinerators in other cities in order to
see if the city made bad bargain
when it agreed to give the Decarie
company the sum of $4,000 for re-

council last night.
Council kirkman introduced the
question referring to the fact that there
had been great deal of discussion
about the incinerator and charges that
the city had been jObbed on the price
paid for. it. He said he had undertaken
to look the matter up on his own ac-
count to see if these charges were true
but had met with poor success. He
said it would be we'll to know the facts

resolution passed unanimously.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MN ROAST 50L0NS
! MENKUS RE1RACTS STATEMENTS

Several members of the Commercial
club were up in arms yesterday even
ing because of the failure of the state
senate to pass the open river appropri-
alton bill. West side legislators were
scored for their failure to work for the
measure after the east side had as
sisted in securing the appropriat ton
for the Alaska ka-Yukon-PacifiC expOsi-
tion to be held in Seattle during 1909
While Sidney Menkis scored the east
side lawmakers many of the members
limited the time was ripe for a new
state. While Mr.. Menkus was talking,
President Kaser said under his breath:
1T will only hasten the day for a
new state"
Mr.. Menkus said: The east side
lawmakers do not nor have they ever
had any standing at Olympia. When
they arrived at the capital they were
shorn as are sheep. They simply have
been jobbed.''
Scott Henderson, city editor of The
Union, threatened to take revenge on
Menkus for his roast of the east side
lawmakers because they had seeming

Walla Walla county was the cry of the
members of the Commercial club yes

mass meeting is being arranged to be
held AT the Commercial club rooms at
. o'clock Saturday afternoon. 1t is
expected the majority of the farmers
living in the vicinity of Walla Walla

which the farmers are confronting.
A slap was taken at the employment
agencies for their methods of doing
business. Some of the members blamed
them for advertising for farm help at
a higher wage than is actually paid
If the farmers adopt the plan proposed
by the club they will operate their
own employment agency.

An ordinance was passed by the city

1t was decided at the council meet
ing last night there was no necessity
for the present thickness of concrete
bulkheads and the city engineer was
instructed to prepare new specifica-

1t was brought out by several coun-
eilmen that the main question in the
usefulness OF bulkheads was that they
should have a good foundation. 1t
was thought that if they We're from 6
to inches across on the top that they
would be strong enough to bear any
strain which the waters of Mill creek
might put on them. The fact that the
expense of the bulkheads built under
the present specifications deferred
many property owners from building

Several counclmen had an oppor-
tunity to express their objection to the
principle of paying property owners
for strips of land taken from them in
improving the streets. The point was
raised on the petition of Carl H. john
son of N. Eighth street to donate 20

his property.
Councilman Tausick thought If the

of paying money for street property
ought to be done away with altogether.
