members of the club, to attend the
Lemon social to be held at New Or

members of the club have numbers,
and at the ter-centennial convention
those having even numbers will be
called 'Bluebirds" and those with odd

tions will have regular headquarters
at the centennial and each side
will carry pennants showing their re-

TAKE SOMETHING FOR 1T.

Had we imagined that what we said
about boosting for Walla Walla was
going to draw from the Motherly
Union another editorial telling what
bad place this city is as home town
we would have kept still. The friends
of the Motherly Union are sorry to
see her suffering from such a sour
stomach and it is suggested that she
take something for it.

better to have done some other way"

MINSTRELS WERE GOOD
Some Clever Performers But Joke:
and Comedy Were Ordinary.

When Fred Simpson, trombone solo,

house arose to his feet to show his
patriotism, his love for his country, and
his respect for her national HYMN. This
one man stood alone but he stood
through the redition of the entire
selection and notwithstanding the fact
that he was alone in his loyalty to his
country's hymn he was not
afraid to show that he, at least, is

The show was good. Everyone went
away pleased although the comedy was
little old and some of the stunts had
been seen here before. But it is the
middle of the summer and people are
easily entertained. However the show
was better than the average minstrel
exhibition and pleased the large
audience which filled the Keylor Grand
to hear it.
Far and away the best feature of the
show was Frank Kirk, THE musical
acrobat" He is all right and his stunts
are new, difficult and clever, his imita-
tions successful.
Clarence Powell, the star comedian,
came in for a large share of the ap-
plause and his topical song, Never
was encored again and again.
Marsh Craig, the human enigma
was certainly puzzle in his contor-
tlons.His is not a new stunt but it
was given better than any ever seen
in Walla Walla before.
The singing in the first part was
mediocre as was the comedy from the
end man. Most of the latter took adj
vantage of Powelrs explanation that
there is nothing new under the sun
and joked accordingly.
In the second part, however. interest
llvened up and most of the specialties
were good, some more than good. The

IL answer to the query as to
whether or not the Northern Pacific
can handle the traffic this year, Mr..
Mutt said:
1--WE will have no trouble in handl-
ing the crop and other heavy trans
portation this year, I think. There has
only been one month since 1895 ard
that was October, 1905, that we have
rot been able to handle the traffic.
1.-The only thing that will stand in
our way is the unloading question. If
as has sometimes been the case, this
receivers at Seattle and Tacoma do
not get the cars urloaded we cannot
keep up. We will simply have to STOP
loading.
THAT however is not up to the rail-
roads. We have cars enough and en-
gineS enough to keep the freight out
of our way. If the shippers and re-
ceivers do their part there will be nc
car famine this year.
Il expect there will be a heavy
movement of freight this year but il
will be handled easily if there is nc
trouble loading and unloading
