The Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton building, that is being erected, on
South Hill street, near Third, is another
evidence of the great power that lies in
cooperation. The Los Angeles associa-
ton organized October !, 1898, and incor-
porated the following May. had few
members and occupied two furnished
rooms at PIP South Broadway. Early in
1908 the association, $500 strong, will take

Add Much to the Beauty Of
This "clty of
Homes"

While Los Angeles is emphatically city
of homes--as is evidenced by the fact that
more than 5000 residences are built an
nually in the city-it is. by virtue of its
rank as the leading tourist city of the
country, a city of hotels. apartment
houses and rooming houses of the better
class. The most expensive tastes and the
modest purse are equally well accommo-
dated. There is no other city In the coun-
try of similar size which has so many
first class hotels.
Prominent among the great hostelries
is the Alexandria, completed last year at
cost OF more than $2,000.O00, Notwith-
standing its size and costly equipment, ii
has been a financial success from the
start, and 1t is now planned to build a
ten-story addition extending to Broadway.
The Hayward. King Edward and the
Holmes. family hotel. are among the
new hotels built within the year.
Among the older leading hotels are the
Van Nuys, the Angelus, the Westminster
and the Hollenbeck. In all there are
about $50 hotels in the city and several
hundred rooming houses where good ac-
commodations may be had at reasonable
prices.
Those who do not care to remain at
the downtown hotels may take their choice
or score OF great 1amlly notelS Wnere
the furnishings and service are on par
with those of the best transient stopping
places in the country. Together the
hotels and rooming houses of Los Angeles
can easily accommodate 10000 people.
The restaurants and cafes are on a par
with the hotels. The Alexander, Angelus,
Van Nuys. Levy's and the Bristol are
famous for their good cooking and fine
service
The stranger within the gates of Los
Angeles has nothing to fear on the score
If accommodations, be his purse either

A UNIQUE PROSPECT.

"Pendleton has a more unique pros
pect ahead of her than is enjoyed by
any other city in the inland empire.
says the East Oregonian. And then it
adds: "Walla Walla is in the midst of
4 cultivated area which is now well
populated and her growth is naturally
is little new territory tributary and
little room for ally more population
near her"
We should say Pendleton has
unique prospect When that Snake
river cut off is completed and the
through trains of the O. r. & n. are
running in that direction instead of
laboring over those terrible mountain
grades. Pendleton will be a flag station.
That is quite unique prospect and
one that the sand city does not face
with any feelings of great hilarity.
That Snake river cut off is being built
and when it is completed, it will mean
a cut off for Pendleton.
How about Walla Walla? Well, when
that North Coast road. which is as GER
tain as the rising of the sun. is COM
pleted, The Garden City will be on the
main line of the shortest route between
Chicago and Puget Sound and we will
be ready to annex Pendleton and way
stations.
Little room for any more popula-
ton near here? Why we could pick up
the people of Pendleton and scatter
them throughout the Walla Walla val
ley and scarcely know they were here
except for their shouts of joy at hav-
ing found the best valley on the face of
the earth and being citizens of the
most prosperous community in the
world
The F. O. truly remarks. while writ-
ing of Pendleton, THE growth will nat
urally be slow" Pendleton is too close
to Walla Walla to expect to grow
much as long as there is plenty of
room in the valley of Many Waters

1t has been announced that work has
been stopped on the new city fire sta
ton and that nothing further will be
done with this building until funds are
provided. The roof will be put on the
city hall as the work. particularly the
walls. must be protected from the
weather While it is absolutely ne
cessary that the roof should be put on
the city hall il would also appear
equally as necessary that the fire sta
ton should be completed. This build
ing is very nearly finished and it
seems a shame to allow it to stand I'M
occupied and keep the fire boys in that
old barn any longer. With all the
money there is in Walla Walla, and
with so much local patriotism, it would
appear that sufficient funds could be
secured to complete that fire station.
and it is believed that the council and
the commercial club, backed by the
business interests, will be able to Sc
cure the required funds to put the few
remaining finishing touches to the al
most completed fire station. The suit
to determine the legality of the bonds
will be pushed rapidly and there is no
doubt but what the supreme court will
give it an early hearing. The legal tall
ent of the city is unanimous in the
opinion that the bonds will be declared
good so there is no apparent reason
why the progress of the buildings
should be ma erially delayed

Ministers Present Petition.

The ministers had friendly visit
with Mayor John one day last week.
The mayor assured the ministers that
if the people wanted the laws enforced
he would enforce them.
Acting upon this the ministers, be-
ing advised as to the law, framed a
petition and at the close of their SER
mons called on " all who have back
bone to come forward and sign the pc
tition to the mayor, sheriff, chief of po-
lice and other officials, to enforce the
law" At least this was the program
followed at the Second Baptist church
and it is understood that this was the
order followed at the First church
where Rev. Varney is pastor. and the
Methodist Episcopal church, where
Rev. Finger is pastor.
Rev. Dulin of the Second church
spoke in very temperate way con-
corning the matter, but insisted thai
no one had any strings on either him
or his church, and that while he wish
ed to speak kindly and with respect
concerning every one, yet he would
not hesitate to speak plainly as the
facts and conditions required.
While songs were being sung, many
in the audience, in the old fashioned
way, came forward, putting their
names to the petition and dropping an
offering into the plate to meet the ex-
penses of the literature sent here by
the anti saloon league.
The league has sent in for these
meetings between $50 and 500 worth
of campaign literature. which is being
vigorously used for the creation of SEN
timent for enforcing the law.
The slogan of the ants in the pres
ent campaign is Watch Baker City

WATCH BAKER
PUT THE LID ON
MINISTER'S BEGIN CAMPAIGN TO
STOP ALL LAW VIOLATIONS
IN OREGON.

BAKER CITY Ore, Oct. 16.-The
crusade, proclaimed Sunday night from
their pulpits by Pastors Finger, Dulin
and Varney has been swelling ever
since. The anti-gambling element in
the population of this city is aroused
as it has not been in years.
The pulpit proclamation was not
sprung as a surprise, however, for
handful had been circulated all over
the city announcing that in three of
the churches the enforcement of the
laws against gambling would be the
topic This handful was as follows,
in words the display" reduced to
running style of composition:
Anarchy in Baker City.-It is
claimed by some of our public officials
that only few of the people are OPP
posed to open gambling, and still fewer

er excess laws of Oregon. If you are
not a moral jellyfish, attend one of the
churches Sunday night, where. this
matter will be handled without gloves
by Pastors Finger, Dulin and Varney."
Pastors Armed With the Law.
The pastors had previously consult
ed an attorney and procured copies of
sections of the statutes and of sections
from the special laws enacted as the
charter of the city, with some supreme
court decisions bearing on the matter
in hand.
The object of the sermons was to Sc
cure law enforcement in Baker City.
The speakers showed some of the ways
in which the laws are being violated
by the saloons, especially the Sunday
closing law They also showed that
the laws against gambling were openly
violated and read the law showing the
duty of officials to enforce the laws, es-
pecially those against gambling and
the penalty attached for non perform
ance of such duty.
