BUILDING BOOM
FOR WALLA WALLA
SAY THEY LOOK
FOR BIGGER OPERATIONS
THAN IN 1905.

Prospects of a bumper wheat and
fruit crop, coupled with a slight drop
in the price Of nearly all kinds of
building material, will result in
building boom in Walla Walla this
year that will eclipse, according to
contractors, the big boom three years
ago when nearly 400 new homes were
constructed within a period of six
months.
Contractors interviewed today all
said they We're busy making up plans
and specifications for scores of new
residences that will be erected this
spring and summer. No particular part
of the city seems to have the edge on
the building boom, contractors stating
that new homes are being contemplated
in every part of the city.
The greatest activity, however, will
probably be seen in the eastern part
|of the city where many high class va
lcant lots have changed hands the past
fall and winter. James Cunningham,
one of the best known contractors in
the city stated today that five new
houses will be erected in Isaacs' addi-
|tion, construction work to Start as
Isoon as weather conditions are settled
to permit of uninterrupted work.
Several handsome residences have
lately been completed in this particu-
lar residence district. Several new
homes will also be built this spring
in Greens addition which is one Of the
mice residence sections adjoining
Isaac's addition on the north and
northeast. Directly east of Isaac's ad-
|dition lies the new Browns addition,
which promises to be a popular resi-
Dental section Of the city. Many new
houseses are to be erected there this
|summer.
Contractors were anxiously waiting
this afternoon for the opening Of bids
for the construction Of a new resi-
!dence by Father Van De Ven, rector of
st. Patrick's church. The new resi-
|dence, it is estimated, will cost in the
Ineighborhood of $4,000 and is to be
located on Poplar street, on the site
of the rector's present residence.
Many Suburban Homes.
Building opera tions in the suburban
districts will probably be as active as
in the city. S. B. Calderhead, general
|agent of w. & c. r. system is erecting
la new $4,000 residence on his acreage
property at the corner of Pleasant
street and Fern avenue. John II. Kelly.
who owns a pretty tract in Moore's
addition, facing on Fern avenue, is

Mrs. Floyd West Wanders Away
And is Located by Dogs

PROsser, Wash. March 5. Mrs.
FLOYD West, who lives with her
husband on their ranch seven miles
from Prosser, in the direction Of
Rattlesnake, started out carly last
evening to meet her husband OH
his return from town. Not meet
ing him as soon as She expected,
he having taken another and short
er route, she undertook to find the
way back back home by cutting
across through the sagcbrush, but
was unable to find the road.
Darkness coming on she lost her
way entirely, and wandered about
in the sagcbrusll alone all right.
Her husband, not finding her on
his return home, became very much
alarmed, and set out to find her by
tracking her footprints in the dust
of the sagcbrush, but found that
impossible, and come to town for
the blood hounds recently brought
into Prosser by the county sheriff.
The dogs took UP the trail and
followed in its wanderings Of over
IS miles, and finally ended at the
house of ranchnan near Grand
view, arriving there just one hour
after Mrs. West reached the place,
at about o clock this morning.

of Thruston county held the law
to be unconstitutional, but the
State officers have signified their
intention of appealing to the SUI
preme Court of the State.

SCHOOL CLERK HALE
ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS
A Careful Reading Explains the
Matter Properly

ELLENSBURG, Wash. March 5,
1908, To the Editor: Pursuant to
the request of a tax payer in the
Daily Localizer of February 18th,
for information relative to the af-
fairs of the school district No. 5,
it is desired to submit the following
statement:
The annual school election occurs
Saturday, March I, 1908, and will
be held in the Principals Office in
the Public school building. The
polls will be open from one o'clock
until seven o'clock III the after
noon. The director elected at this
election succeeds Mr.. J. c. Hub
bell, whose term expires at this
time.
It is not practicable to give de
tailed statement of the financial
condition of the district at this
time, as the fisal year ends on June
3Oth, and all reports are made ac-
cordingly. The situation, how
ever, is about as follows: The
school district is bonded for $50
10000. These bonds mature in
1911, and they bear interest at the
rate of 7 per annun, payable semi
annually on the 1st of April and
the 1st of October. At the time
the levy was made last fall, it APP
peared to the Board that it would
be necessary to raise approximately
the following sums:
Salaries of teachers, janitor
truant officer and cleark S1423O.OO;
interest on bonds $500. 90; miscel-
laneous expenditures, including
fuel, rent, water rent, acquisition
on new building, the purchase OF
necessary supplies, and the making
Of necessary repairs, $4,000. 90;
making a total of S2173O. 10000.
The Board found upon investl-
cation that the levies for the two
proceeding years had been insult
fcient to pay the actual running
expenses of the school and that a
warrented Indebtedness of approx
mately S3OOO.OO had accumulated
This raised the total necessary tor
this year to S2473O.OO. The as
sessed valuation of.the district is
1882, $780,. The apportionment
to this district of the state funds
for the year ending June 80, 1907,
was approximately 100000. In
this was included an appOrtion-
ment based upon the attendance at
the Normal training school. The
legislature of 1907 enacted a law
diverting this apportionment away
from this school district to the use
of the Normal school. This law
carried into effect would reduce the
apportiofment approximately So
10000, so that the Board estimated
that there would be available from
the State, instead of $1,000. 90
about $4,000. 90, which made it IN
cumbent upon the district to raise
the difference between the SIS, 100.
required and the $4,000. 90 that VIZ
might expect from the State. Il
thus became necessary to raise BY
taxation SIS, $1,000 or Whereabouts
Upon the. assessed valuation above
stated, a levy of ten mills woulc
produce $15,S26.OO, and so tina
levy was made.
The estimate for salaries above
stated is made up of the following
items: City superintendent, S1oo'
per year; two teachers 1t S55.OI

Orchard Lands Of Long Ago

The orchard lands of long ago.
O drowsy winds, awake and blow
The snowy blossoms back to me.
And all the buds that use to be!
Blow back again the grassy ways
OF truant feet and ile the haze
OF happy summer from the trees
That trail their trcsses in the seas
OF grain that float and overflow
The orchard land of long ago.
Blow back the melody that slips
In hazy laughter from the lips
That marvel much as any kiss
Is sweeter than the apple is.
Blow back the twittcr of the birds;
The lisp, the thrills, and the words
OF merriment that found the shine
OF summer time glorious wine,
That drenched the leaves that loved
In orchard lands Of long ago.
O memory. alight and sing
Where rosy,belled pippins cling,
And golden sunsets CLINT and CLEAN
AS in that old Arabia" dream
The fruits Of that enchanted tree
The glad Aladdin robbed for me.
And drowsy winds awake and fan
My blood as when it overran
A heart, ripe as the apples grow,
In orchard landc Of long ago.
