'FAvORS TREES
IN THE STREETS
President PenrOse Sends Re-
port 10 Commercial Club

President Penrose of Whitman col
lege, is in favor of saving the beautiful
trees of Walla Walla wherever it il
possible to do so. In his report to the
Commercial club, as chairman of the
park and public highways committed
of that body, he advises saving the
trees on the Ward property. He also
thinks line of trees in the center OF
a street would be an attractive feature
although he doubts the entire wis
dom of preserving the irregular" line
of trees in East street:
Following is the report in full:
ITO the honorable board of directors
of the Walla Walla Commercial club:
Gentlemen:
Il have received the communication
from the civic improvement commit
tee of the Women's club, which was re-
ferred to the committee on parks and
public highways of which l am chair
man.
Il have gone over the ground re-
ferred to in the petition and have
talked with Mrs. White, the lessee of
the Ward property, and report as fol-
lows:
The contract which has been made
for moving the Ward house makes it
necessary to destroy two fine pine
trees in the rear of the house. and this
an
expense. The rest of the trees on the
Ward property ought to be carefully
protected. and when Poplar street is
opened through I suggest that all good
trees be left standing in the middle
of the road. In some Of the most
prominent cities Of the world trees
may be found in the roadway sur
by protecting railing or curb.
The destruction of a beautiful tree is
a serious matter, and should not be
allowed when it can in any way be OBJ
waited.
LAS to the trees in East street find
that those between Poplar and Alder
had already been cut down by the
owner of the property, and an irregular
line of closely planted poplars remain
in East street between Poplar and
Birch. If these trees were in straight
line 1 would urge their preservation in
the middle of the parking. but since
one kind of tree stretches in a straight
line for three quarters of the distance
and another kind of tree in a straight
line for the rest Of the way, but s-v-
eral feet out of line with the first. it
is a question whether it would be
worth while to try and preserve all the
trees in question. No doubt the 'eav
ing of line of trees in the middle OF
a roadway would be an attractive
feature which If carried out on an ex-
tended scale would add greatly to the
beauty of Walla Walla's streets.
"On account of absence from town
have been unable to gather the COM
mittee together, and can only report
my own personal impressions in the
matter.
II have the honor to be,
Respectfully yours,
STEPHEN B. L. PENROSE."

A Turfman's Tale.

A New Jerseyman told me good
story the other day on one OF our fore
most turfmen, a man whose name is
perhaps printed oftener than that OF
any other connected with racing IN
America. A good many years ago this
turfman, who was not then deep in the
racing business, arrived in Jersey City
with trainload Of mustangs from the
plains Of Texas. He knew nothing OF
the laws Of the state nor of the ordi'
nances of the city. He knew that he
wanted to sell his mustangs and thought
the best way to do it was-to sell them
at auction. Being somewhat gifted in
speech, he determined that he would be
his own auctioneer. The sale started out
we'll. Fair prices were realized. Sud-
denly it was interrupted by policemen,
who demanded view Of our friends
license.
"License?' he said amazed. "What
license2 I haven't any license Of any
kind"
"Well. you can't sell horses In this
,ity without license. You'll have to
come along. No monkey business with
u.s."
Of course he went along, but he was
lucky enough to find at court a friend Ia
lawyer, who went bail for him in the
sum Of $50. Then the lawyer said:
ga license costs $3.50. You are under
bonds. Go ahead and finish your sale,
collect your money and skip out. Give
ne 500 to settle the forfeited bond, and
you ore $500 ahead Of the game.
1t was done accordingly. The turf
man and his friend met in the st. James
hotel lately and laughed over the joke.
