most impressive manner and said he
wished to present n petition to the
President of the Board of Health.

The Home Rule-Wallach petition.
President Pinkham directed the
secretary to read petition from Ka-

several of the Republican members
Of the Legislature. It was signed by
Senators John Lane and Charlie Chil-

Of note that ChillingwOrth has with
in the past week been going about
hotly denouncing Wallach as u fake
and fraud. One day last week in
the Office of President Pinkham, when
q Blu ct n reporter was present,
he said that he thought Governor
| Frcar had made serious mistake in
having anything to do with Wallach
or admitting him to the executive Of
fees at all. He should have refused
to see him under any conditions,

wealth, were the ostensiblc subjects
of discussion at the meeting of the
roard of Health yesterday afternoon.
But the real question at issue was
Hot one of medicine but of politics.
II was not solicitude for the inmates

he politicians who appeared before
the Board and urged that the Terri
tory join hands with this impudent
imposter; 1t was the desire to pull
Wallach into the political band-wag-
Ons of two parties. It was contest
between tho Home Rulers and the
Republicans.
1t was politics straight through

which he represents. The other was

hut their denials only served to en-
phaslze the fact that politics wal
the basis of the whole matter. Ant
that II was made evident tina

about a dozen well-known fans who
had been summoned to the meet
ing by those in charge. L. q.
Frazier acted as temporary chair
man and presided during the cleo
ton of officers. J. r Raley was
chosen as vice-president, L. G. Fra

1t was then decided that the Of

ager of the team, constitute an ex-
ecutive committee which should have
charge of affairs. The members of
the committee We're instructed to
draw up a set Of rules and regula-
tions for the government of the as
scciation and to submit the same at
meeting to be held tomorrow after
noon at o'clock.
In order to meet the expense of
opening the season, preparing
grounds, buying suits, ETC., it was de-
cided to borrow the amount of mon-
ey needed. The money was then ad-
vanced by the members present with
the understanding that they be reim-
bursed as soon as funds are available
AS toon as the matter has gotten
properly under way a subscription

business men and the amount Sc

1t is the intention of the manage
ment to make the team as nearly an
amateur one as possible. The desire
is to have team that will be a
credit to the town, will show up well
with Walla Walla and other neigh
boring teams and yet be within fl
nancial reach of a town this size.
Since the nine is to be a local one
1t is desired that all players COM

merits may become known. Those
who cannot meet at the grounds to-
morrow morning are requested to
call on the secretary, L. G. Frazier,
and make known their intentions.
