expectations in the last two years.

with the situation until the systems

The rebuttal testimony of the lum-
bermen was heard this afternoon when

siasm unexcelled by a Walla Walla
audience since President Roosevelt de-

Harmony was the watchword of the
evening. Not a single act or single
sentence uttered during the entire
evening spoiled the optimistic feeling
held by everyone.
The Inland Empire. and the present
and future greatness thereof reigned
supreme during the four hours of post
prandial eloQuence.
An Open River and Trolieys.
An open river and interurban elec-
trio railways were held up as the
means by which this greatness was to
be attained.
Every detail of the banquet had been
arranged with cOnsummate skill. None
of those little annoyances which some
times mark great occasions occurred
last night. Every committee had plan
ned wisely and the execution was fault
less.
Never has so large banquet been
