ADVOCATES CEMENT walks
Commercial Club Committee Would
Have No Other

Cement only" was the verdict of
the Commercial club committee ap-
pointed to recommend within wnau
limits cement walks must be con-
structed by property owners.
Strenuous objection was made to the
report by members of the club and it
was voted the recommendations be
not concurred in. Many of those pres
ent feared the attempt to Introduce
the expensive walks in the sparsely
settled residence districts might result
in a batch of lawsuits for the city.
Following is the report made by the
committee:
We, your committee, to whom was
referred the matter Of cement walks
within the resident portions of Walla
Walla, do hereby recommend that the
club advise the passage of an ordi-
nance by the city council requiring
all walks which may hereafter be laid
within the limits Of the city to be con-
structed of cement and of a uniform
width of six feet except on such
streets as business requirements may
call for walks Of greater width.
Respectfully submitted.

YOUNG BRIDE.
GOES BEYOND
Mrs. Leland Croker, For.
meP|y Beatrice Ryan, Dies

Remorseless death struck a cruel
blow to the family Of Mr.. and Mrs. M.
Ryan of this city last night when a
telegram from Spokane told of the sad
death of Mrs. Leland Croker, bride
of only a few months, following an
attack of acute appendicitis.
Seldom has the dread visitant APP
peared under more sorrowful circum-
stances. The fond mother has been at
the bedside of her beautiful daughter
for two weeks and is well nigh bereft
of reason by this browning blow to a
series Of family misfortunes.
Frank and Leo Ryan, brothers Of
the dead girl. left at So'clock yesterday
evening for Spokane on receipt of a
dispatch from their mother saying
Mrs. Croker was at deaths door, but
they were too late to see their sister
we'll on the way.
M. Ryan, the father, Is in Aberdeen
at the A. o. U. w. convention and has
not yet been heard from, but he will
probably get the news of his daugh-
ter's death in time to meet the re-
mains at Wallula, as the body will be
brought home on the o. r. & N. train
due here tomorrow morning.
Mrs. Crocker was formerly Miss
Beatrice Ryan, a daughter of M. Ryan,
pioneer druggist of Walla Walla, and
now a member of the drug firm of E.
L. Smalley. She was a student Of the
local high school and was one OF the
Garden City's most beautiful young
women being loved by a large follow
ing if friends with whom she was q
deservedly popular social favorite
Hardly out Of her teens she became the
wife Of Leland Croker last Decem-
Der after a romantic wooing by the
young athlete Of the Walla Walla high
school. who is also a member of one
of the oldest families of the county.

We have carefully gone over the
