READ THE REPORT.

There is no plausible excuse Tor the
members of the city council to delay
the opening of the Olmsted report on
the parking of the city. The failure
to attend to the matter is only another
sample of the Indifference of so1ae OF
the councilmen to the wishes Of the
people.
There is growing interest in the
movement for a chain of parks in and
around the city and it is not doing
the movement justice to delay action
until it is too late to perfect the plans
for park development this summer.
The dilatory tactics Of the council IN
protecting the banks Of Mill creek
against the floods should not be re-
peated in the proposed parking.
All of the people in Walla Walla
want at least one park, to which they
may repair Sundays and hot even
ings for rest and GOODNESS. They do
not care to go out on an open pral-
shady retreats.
Walla Walla possesses these shady
spots and there is little question OF
Mr.. Olmsted picking them out. What
is necessary now is to make public his
recommendations in time to afford the
people chance to secure the advan-
tages before the hot weather is too
far advanced.
The crankinesS, Or caprice, of one 81
two councilmen should not be permit
ted to stand in the way of full and
free discussion of the plans proposed
for summer outing spots.
If those councilmen be too busy at
regular meetings, call an extra session
and read the report. Then pass it up
to the peoples committees, or PARK
commission, for adequate discussion.

BEAR KNOCKED At. DOOR.
But Tower Man Barred Him Out and
Dogs Chased Bruin.

WILKESBARRE. Jan. &C. NJ.
Cornelson, night operator at the Phil
adelphia and Reading Railway tower
near Catawissa, had an experience
with a bear last night which he does
not care to repeat. About nightfall he
heard the yelping of a dog as it ran
from under the tower down the
track as fast as it could go, and, look
ing out. he saw a big black bear which
after shuffling around the tower began
climbing the steps.
CernelsOn shut and locked the door
quickly, but the bear knocked and
scratC he'd for admittance. COrnelsOn
threw across the door a heavy bar.
More dogs came up and the bear then
turned his attention to them, fought
them off and made for the woods, with
the dogs after him.

TEARS COME WITH THE MONEY.

clasped to her breast, the pay roll for
the employees of an East Side factory

was on her way to the shop from the
German Exchange bank on Bond street

PIG TAKES NOTE TO MAYOR
WrathfuI Citizens Of Jersey Don't Want
Any Porkers in Their Ward.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Jan. 26.-Pro-
minent citizens of the Second Ward
sent live pig to Mayor Pagan yester-
day morning. Some months ago Swift
& Co. gave out a statement to the eff
feet that they proposed building a hog
abattoir in the Second Ward In order
to do so they will have to obtain per-
mits from the mayor and board of
health.
The citizens of the ward have held
several meetings to protest against the
abattoir, but it is understood that the
permits will be granted. The pig re-
ceMed by Mayor Pagan wore a tag on
which was written:
+ = + + + + 4. i. 4. + + + + !. +
+ WE DON'T WANT ANY HOGS +
+ IN OUR SECOND WARD. +
+ i. + + + + /. I. /. + 1. 1! + + + + +
Mayor Pagan had the pig taken to
the basement of the city hall and
tied up. He said he would fatten it
and eat it himself. He did not say
whether he would grant the permit
or not.

meetings at the college, at which they
had under advisement an amount of
business greatly in excess of any ever

An expenditure of $4,000 for addi-
