communication from the Woman

the sidewalks and pavements be here

he placed at proper PAGES to facilitate
this. The communication was referred

Specifications for wooden bulkhea''
at the cemetery on YelloWhaWk Were
filed bv the city surveyor but these
were not accepted as Councilman NC
Kean said a contractor had told him
concrete bulkhead would be as cheap at
that Mace. This is made possible Dy
the fact that there is plenty OF sand ana
Gravel in the creek at this point where
tho bull<head is to be erected and with
nothing to furnish bat the cement, the
better bulkhead would be nearly as

bulkhead were ordered and bids will be
asked on both kinds.
The bicycle path on Sixth street be-

FREIGHT AGENTS MEET.
Five Hundred Railway Officials ir
Session.

Five Hundred Railway Officials in
Session.
TOLEDO, O., June lahore than
800 railroad officials are congregated
today at PUTIN Bay, where the Ma
tional Association of Freight Traffic
Agents began its annual session. Pitts
burg will probably be selected as the
place for the next convention.
The association is composed of
freight traffic agents throughout the
country, and it's main object is the fur
therance of good feeling between rail-
roads and the shipping public. 1t is
the sense of the body that nothing is
gained by decrying legislative proceed
ure, but that Cancellation and not an
tagonism is the better method of con-
serving and furthering mutual respect
between the roads and the shippers.
1t is believed that the association will
be the means to a most desirable end,
since the members come in direct con-
tact with patrons of the railroads, and
will be able to accomplish much good.

TO TAKE CENSUS
Of WALLA WALLA
CITY COUNCIL APPROPRIATE
FUNDS FOR THIS PUR-
POSE,

That WalIa Walla will soon be city
of the first class is now practically as
sured. A new census is to be taken al
once and there is no doubt in the mind
of any sane citizen of the Garden City
but that it will show more than 10000
inhabitants
The committee in charge of the CEN
sus, Alfred Bachtold and John Stack.
reported at the council meeting last
night that it could be taken most
quickly and efficiently by the city
mail carriers aided by supervisor.
There are nine city carriers and they
will do the work for $25 each. w. l..
Cadman will supervise and compile
the work for $3.50 per day
In this way the census can be taken
more thoroughly and more quickly than
if some outsider were hired to do it.
While it will be no cheaper, the council
is sure it will be better and quicker.
The judiciary committee was given
power to act in the matter and will at
once get blanks printed and start the
carriers in the work. 1t should be No
more than a matter of 80 days until the
census is completed and application can
then be made for new charter which
first class in name as we'll as in reality.

Royalty In Danger.

LONDON. June lit is likely that
the king will not publicly participate
in the celebration Of the great religious
festival tomorrow, owing to the recent
discovery of a plot to blow up with
bombs all the members of the royal
family on the occasion of that celebra :
tion. Every possible safeguard has
been placed about the king to protect
him from the wrath of the malcontents
Scores of arrests have been made as
a result of the plot and the leaders OF
the society of the Black Cross are now
in prison and will probably be executed
Correspondence found by the authori-
ties indicates that the society had rela-
tions with an international iorganiza
ton of anarchists, with branches in
Madrid. Barcelona, Paris, London ana
other European cities.
