IS OPTIMISTIC
ON OPEN RIVER
DIR. BLALOcK SEES ROSY FUTURE
FOR BOATS ON
COLUMBIA

DR.. n. G. Bialock has returned from
Portland and other points where he
went after the close of the Open River
association at The Dalles, in the in
terest of the open river mivement. Dr.
Blalock is optimistic in regard to the
matter and hopes to get his plans
working right away.
Speaking of the matter, he says:
.JTpon examination we have found
that the Norma is unfit for our pur
pose and the funds subscribed for her
purchase will either have to be re-
funded or applied on another boat. She
is old and her hull rotten and it is the
opinion of those who know her that
she would last but short time Many
are disappointed in this but all can
See it would not pay to buy her.
Although some of the pledges were
secured with the understanding that
steamship traffic would be begun this
fall with this boat. l think the people
will see as the executive committee
sees. that it would be foolish to try to
use her.
However. this will be but short
DELAY in our work. Next fall we are
going to have at least three boats run
ming on the upper Columbia and we
will then have a service. which will be
ADEQUATE to handle the business on the
river At least, it will be much better
than we have now, and will mean a
great saving to the farmers of the In
land Empire Plans will be formulated
soon TO sell stock among the fruit
growers and farmers of the country
tributary to the Snake river in order
that the purchase of the necessary
boats may be made.
Il have in sight $4,000 in Pasco'
Kannevick and Walla Walla and hope
within the next few months to nave
at least 100000 subscribed. If this is
,7one We can purchase the boats, ara
NOT only will good dividends result TO
the stockholders, but 1t VIII mean
saving of hundreds of thousands OF
dollars annually to the Inland Empire.
Uo want to get it so the>people can see
vbat the benefits to them will be an'
.. ve will experience no difficulty
ar all in selling stock.

County's History

The Eagles band concert tomorrow
afternoon marks the closing event of
the biggest and best county fair ever
held in Walla Walla. The series of
events have, in every case, been re-
markable for their successes, and not
even one misrepresentation, or misun-
derstanding between the members of
the association and their daily throngs
of visitors has been made to mar the
complete success of the big undertak
ing. While the highest compliments
should be rendered the members of the
association and particularly Secretary
Van De Water the real success is due
the remarkable spirit of the general
public who have so willingly contri
buted their efforts in behalf of the fair
and it's officers.
No better evidence of Walla' Wallas
boosting spirit has ever been shown
before. Especially is this true when
considering the complete and unquali-
fed success of Derby day. On this oc-
casion everybody helped eX-
tended a helping hand for they all
knew the success of the day was their
success also. The attendance Thurs
day when compared with the attend
a great increase, and while it must be
admitted that this years fair has been
in every way superior to anything of
its kind ever held in Walla Walla, it
was the loyalty of the people that made
it So

city than a successful county fair"
said "a visitor from nearby city who
attended the fair yesterday. This is
my fifth visit to Walla Walla, and on

la Wallans. Your fair this year, be
lieve, has been a pleasant surprise, not
only to its managers but to the people
of the city and surrounding country
as well. | admire the progressive spir-
change expended in this manner will
surely reap a harvest of dollars. Even
now the fame of Walla Walla county's
fair is spreading throughout the entire
