MATCHMAKING
TO Be STARTED
SURVEY WORK WILL BEGIN TO-
MORROW is CREW OF MEN
CAN BE SECURED.

Providing County Surveyor Wrinkle
can secure crew, he will begin the
survey and cross-sectioning of the col
lege Place road preliminary to its ma
cadamizing tomorrow morning. At noon
today, however, he had succeeded in
securing the promise of but one mans
services
The contemplated survey will be
made in compliance with a request from
State Highway Commissioner Snow,
who is DESTROYS of making an estimat
of the cost of macadamiZing the road.
The work of matchmaking will prob
ably be commneced early this fall.
The point at which macadamizing
will be commenced is about a hundred
yards from the point to which the
road is macadamized out from Walla
Walla This is at the Blalock Fruit
ranch where the Wallula & Walla
Walla road intersect with the College
Place road, it being ruled some time
ago that the Blalock Fruit company
should macadamize the road at that
point for the distance of 100 yards.
The distance macadamized will be n
mile and a quarter and will bring the
maca damizing to the state line roau.
Of the cost of macadamizing 80 per
cent will be born by the county, Is
per cent by the property owners, and
so per cent by the state.
Upon the completion of the survey and
cross-sectioning of this road, Engineer
Wrinkle viii take up the same work
on a half mile stretch of road about
half mile west Gom Waitsburg known
as the g.. NJ. ConOvy road.

gest affair ever held III the west and
one long to be remembered.
A name for the street is wanted.
Something neat and attractive that
will last through the week without
furnishing Something suggestive of
the spirit of the city. Something that
will be a drawing card. This is a free
contest. Free at both ends. No money
coming to anybody. But your spirit
will be shown and the name is needed.
Suggest and don't be bashful is the
plea of the secretary of the Commercial
club who is puzzled over the matter
until burrows of care are deep upon
his brow A name is all that is
needed to make the carnival a sue
cess, if you think of one don't be
s.ingy but let the secretary hear from
you.

GOBLIN MOTHS
ARE DESTROYED
THIRD SPRAYING JUST ENDEE
ASSURES GOOD APPLE CROP
IN THIS VALLEY.

A complete destruction of the enc
my at all points attacked is reported
by Prof. R. E. Trumble of the State
college at Pullman who has been con-
. Quoting war of determination against
the codling moth in this locality for
the past few months and who has COM
pleted the third spraying Of the or
chards of w. S. Offner, c. L. Whitney,
and L. 3. Lennon.
In speaking of his work this morn
ing Prof. Trumble said:
The results of the three sprayings
have been satisfactory in the extreme
Orchards which have been sprayed are
practically free from the moth while
the crops of adjacent orchards have
been affected to the extent of from so
to IS per cent, one mar. who failed to
spray claiming that fully 50 per cent
of his apple crop was being eaten by
the worms.
"One tree which was taken as an
average on Mr. Whitneys ranch was
found only one apple which contained
a worm. My invest cations also
showed that where spraying had been
deferred from the time announced,
crops had been affected in proportion
to the extent of the delay. One man
who sprayed a week after l did will
lose so per cent of his crop.
THE third spraying was not started
a moment too soon, as is shown by the
fact that worms were observed enter
ing the apples on the very day it was
completed which was last Friday. In
orchards which have not been sprayed
the worms are now in the apples from
4 fourth to a half of an inch. Where
the spraying has been thoroughly done,
the worms, as a rule, are killed by the
poison on the apple before it can cut
through the skin. In exceptional cases,
however, the worm will live to cut
through the skin of the apple, but
not far enough to spoil the apple This
too is only in rare cases."
Prof. Trumble leaves for Pullma n
today but will return to Walla Walla
in about three weeks to make the
fourth spraying. The purpose of it will
be to catch the stragglers from the
second brood and also any of the third
brood which may menace the fruit.
The third brood, however is feared but
little.
Following the fourth spraying, the
trees will not need spraying until
spring when they should be carefully
gone over just after the petals fall.

SEATTLE COUNCIL AFTER

year ago that Thomson would stop
that sore of thing. l had believed that
he had quit his outside interests.
1T is certainly true that the tax
payers of Seattle are entitled to all
of the time of the city engineer. He
is paid to work for the city of Seattle.
AS to what action the council should
take, l do not care to express my
views until after the matter has been

sence from the city on private BUSH
ness" said Councilman Hi Gill. Il don't
believe he has any business looking
after work for Walla Walla or any
other city when he is drawing salary
as city engineer of Seattle"
The following story in the Times
brought forth the storm from the
council:
City Engineer r. H. Thomson has
returned from Walla Walla, which
city he visited Tuesday for the pur-
pose of collecting a fee of $500 and ex-
penses amounting to as much more as
engineer of the municipal waterworks
of Walla Walla. ThOmsOn's presence
was required by the city authorities
of Walla Walla in order that a finrl
settlement might be had between tho
city and the National Wood Pipe COM
pany, which supplied the pipe for the
new Walla Walla waterworks.

UNKNOWN man BURIED
BODY TAKEN FROM SNAKE RIVER
CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED
WAS NOT MURDERED.

Identification of the man who was
drowned in the Snake river about two
weeks ago and whose body has just
been recovered and brought to this city
by the coroner seems impossible.
The body was brought here yester :
day morning by Henry Connick and
buried in the city cemetery this after
noon.
Two receipts from employment
agencies in Portland were found on
his person. These give different
names One is G. w. McGrath the
other is G. c. Duncan. These are all
the papers found in his clothes and
Identification will be hard from these
unless some one shows up who knows
either one or both the men whose
names are on the receipts.
There is every indication that there
was no founl play" said Mr.. Connlck
this afternoon. His skull shows no
marks of violence and no other marks
of anything out of the way are in evil
dence.
He was dressed in overalls ana
shirt. which were so soaked and rotted
I could not make out the color and
texture. He wore pair of heavy
Shoes and was evidently a laborer.
The receipts bear out this. That rob-
berry was not the motive which caused
his death is shown by the fact that ne
still had 1895 in his pockets when he
was recovered There is little hope
that he will be Identified.

Seattle's council is considerably
riled over Engineer Thompson's act
ion in taking up the work of engineer
ing the improvements to the Walla
Walla waterworks system according to
reports from the Sound metropolis.
Members of its council are quoted as
follows in the Seattle Times:
Engineer Thomsons time belongs
to the city of Seattle, which pays him
a handsome salary" said Chairman
Sawyer, of the finance committee of
the council yesterday afternoon. The
councilman had learned from The
Times of the fact that the city engi-
neer. after informing the members of
the board of public works that he
would be busy in Lake Washington
he could not attend the regular meet
ings of the board, left the city for
Walla Walla to earn a side fee of $500
as consulting engineer on the water
works of the eastern Washington city.
Members of the council expressed
themselves as amazed at Thomson's
duplcity. Said Councilman Sawyer:
"Of course 1 do not know of my own
knowledge that Thomson left the city
to go to Walla Walla. If he did so, as
The Times has stated, l am greatly
surprised. l understood that he Had
cut out all this outside work a year
ago. l can only say that the matter
will be looked into 1t is incompre-
hensible to me that the city engineer
should have abandoned his duties
here. he has made serious mistake.
