Home Pride i'm Walla Walla Prompts
the Investment of 100000.

AS the result of the executive ses-
sion of the city council held in the
council chambers Saturday evening,
an agreement was reached among the
members of the body to dispose of the
100000 city hall and fire station
bonds recently rejected by the Har-
ris Trust G. Savings company and lat
er by Rollins & Sons, bankers of Chi
cago.
The action of the city council In
this matter was made after delib-
crate and satisfactory investigation
of the financial condition of the city,
and not for the reason that the city's
securities were in questionable con-
dition.
Yesterday afternoon, Mayor Kel-
Tough, in company with several men,
bers of the city council, made brief
canvass among the leading business
men of the city, and with but very
few exceptions, these men offered to
take a certain amount of bonds. AS
soon as nearly $4,000 was promised,
1t was the conclusion of the city Off
GERS that the remaining $4,000 in
bonds could easily be disposed Of,
and for this reason a special meeting
of the council was called.

ed with number of prominent peo-
Pile in the prosperous Potts district,

the number Of people from that dis

The old shoe factory building on

except when used by construction
gangs to sleep in or to store equip
ment.'
The old building, called a shoe fac
tory by courtesy, since no machinery
ever turned in its workrooms was
erected in 1892 by the promoter OF
the North Dalles bubble, which in
bursting brought down the financial
dreams of many trusting eastern in
vestors who had been misled by the
fictitious stories of the town and Its
property 1t was a large, three-story
frame, the cost Of the material used
in its construction being about s15,-
900, although the construction mate
rails were never paid for.
The origin Of the fire today. is un-
known, but supposedly occurred from
sparks or careless smokers among the
railroad employe working about the
place.
The conflagration was the most
spectacular fire seen here for years.
The huge building was enveloped IN
sheet Of flames, and not a zephyr
famed the fire.

The state land board has just
adopted new set of rules and reg
ulations for the government of arid
land sales and the management of
the reclamation systems under the
Carey act. One of the most import
ant sections Of the new rules is that
which relates to "actual settlers
1t is this section which is likely to
prove a stumbling block to many Of
the purchasers of land in the rec
lamation systems, for it is generally
understood that many have no in
tention Of living upon the land and
will find it very inconvenient to
make their homes there even for a
period of six months.
The rules upon this subject pro-
vide that an actual settler is de-
fined to mean a person who is in ac-
tual occupancy of the land, with the
intention Of making the same his
permanent home"
He must become an actual resi-
dent within six months after the date
of his application Cor purchase and
must continue a resident until he has
made final proof.
During the first season he must ir-
rigate one-sixteenth of the irrigable
land and an equal amount tho Sec
and year, and make his final proof
within three years. Those who have
made purchases prior to the adoption
of these rules will have six months
from September q in which to make
settlement. but in case water is not
available, proof of irrigation may be
excused.
Hereafter all applications for the
purchase of land must be made In
trlplicate, and presented to the rec
lamation company, which must for
ward all three applications to the
state land board.
Upon the approval by the board,
one copy will be filed in the state
land office, one returned to the
company and the third delivered to
the applicant. No sale of arid land
will be held valid unless approved by
the board Entries may be contested
and in case the contestant wins, he
shall have a preference right of IS
days for the purchase of the land.
No land will be opened for sale until
water has been supplied for its rec
lamation.
The rules We're prepared by State
Engineer John II. Lewis and were
approved by the state land board
without alteration. The section re-
lating 10 residence will likely result
in a very rapid increase in the popula-
ton Of the Deschutes country, for
there are many purchasers Of arid
land who have made no move to
settle.

New Haven Theatre,

"Bedfords Hope" which opens at the New Haven theater for three days commencing Thursday February 2S, with matinee Saturday, was an im- mediate success upon its initial per- formance in New York and is thorough ly American from first to last. It is an exceptionally well written play and one of the most stirring mechanical eff fects ever attempted and has much to do with its success. The perspective of @ train running in the middle dist ance Is perfect, the engine and several cars skirt the wild, barren plains of the "bad lands" of Montana with a realism so complete there is absolutely no questioning the engenious skill of the producer. Down on the stage a large red automobile in motion, cccu- pied by two characters holding the heart interest of the audience flies with jolt and bupm over the uneven sandy road and wins a race for wealth. The operation of this wonderful scene is very slIillful, requiring the faithful at tendance of a score of mechanics anl the introduction of machinery totaling 192 horse- power. The clouds of dust, the odor of gasoline and the combustion of solf coal, hissing steam, the vibra- tions of the driving wheels on the loco motiye--not a detail has been omitted. It has this star" feature that brought rousing endorsement from New York and later an even more markel empha- sis in Chicago. The feature" of the play and its characters stand ap- proved, in fact It's first appeal is as a drama of strength and human interest. The scenic investure is superb, and as for the cast of principals, George c. Staley has originated many parts in Broadway productions. Frederick Til- lisch, Walter Law, Griffith Evans 0g- den s. Wight, E. M. Kimball and Harry Robinson are competent members of the east. Then also Miss Mary Ser voss and Miss Emma Butler and Miss Mable Van Buren have important parts and are equally prominent.
