, IN SOCIAL CIRCLES
Hioh School Reception.

One of the pleasant society events of
the week is scheduled for this evening,
when the new students of the high
school will be given a reception in the
gymnasium building. The instructors
of the institution have made elaborate
arrangements for a warm welcome to
the pupils and pleasant time is looked
forward to.
The Walla Walla high school Orches-
ira will give a program of select must
cal numbers during the evening, and
the parents of the young people will
be- given an opportunity of meeting the
instructors and members of the stu
dent body of the school. The various
classes may at the same time become
letter acquainted, and thus make the
opening of the school year more prof
table and suspicious than it otherwise
would be.
Members of the classes have decOrat-
ed the gymnasium with class emblems
and school colors, forming a pretty eff
feet. The public is cordially invited to
attend and become acquainted with the
teachers and students Of the school.

A STEAM SHOVEL

l.. c.. Smith and Charles Lima. of
Pasco. are in the Wala Walla hos
pital suffering from injuries received
by the breaking of a pulley on a steam
shovel Saturday morning. Smith suf-
fered an oblique fracture of his hip
bone, for which an operation was per-
formed. and a portion of the bone re-
moved. He is now In a plaster paris
cast. and it is thought he will recover
without permanent injury.
Lima is suffering from numerous
bruises about the body. but his con-
dition is not considered critical, as
there were no internal injuries. The
men were engaged on a railroad con-
struction crew, and We're in close prox-
unity to the machine when the pulley
chain broke. allowing the loaded
shovel to swing around and strike the
operators.
Another member of the crew who
was standing near with a crowbar in
his hand, was instantly killed. the bar

CITY'S PROGRESS
PLEASES CLEARY

Captain E. F. Cleary, of the Hiber-
MAN knights, of Seattle, who is In
the city this week attending the state
grand lodge of the Ancient Order OF
Hibernians, tells an interesting story
of his first visit to Walla Walla,
which was made in the early sos. MI
Cleary's parents came to the state of
Washington in 1865, and have since
lived here, and their son has spent
nearly all of his life in the state.
In speaking of his first visit to
Walla Walla, Captain Cleary said it
was made while he was in the employ
of the o. S. n. company, now the
O. r. & n. company, as engineer. and
was engaged, during the years 1882
in hauling rails from Portland, via
Umatilla. for the construction of the
road from Walla Walla to Wallula.
Captain Cleary, although he has Wis
tied this city at frequent intervals.
has not been here for some time. and
expressed great surprise at the pro-
gress being made by the city.
In Interests Of Military.
Captain Cleary. who is an enthusi
astic worker for the organization of
military companies, and who Is at
the head of a fine company in Seattle,
is in Walla Walla at this time in the
interest of an organization which he
will propose to the grand lodge OF
the A. 0. H. The Seattle company is
an adjunct of the Hibernian order
andn is known as the Hibernia
Knights Since his arrival in this city
Captain Cleary has received from Adj
jutant General John E. Mccarthy, of
Fall River, New York, a commission
authorizing him to organize military
companies throughout the state of
Washington, and expects to take up
the work at once.
In addition to being captain of the
Hibernian knights of Seattle, Captain
Cleary is at the head of the Knights
of the MaccabeeS. He is in hearty ac-
cord with the organization of military
companies as promulgated in Seattle
by Major Case. now county clerk of
King county. and believes in this line
of fraternal militant, which, he says,
is destined to be one of grand educa-
ton to the youth of the country, and
he hopes to see all branches of fra
ternity take hold of the work with a
heart and further laws through the
coming legislature that will assist in
making it a success. both state and
national.

PRECINCT CLUBS TO BE
FORMED IN COUNTY

Chairman Roscoe Nj. Drumheller. of
the democratic county committee. an
nOunced this morning that the dem
Ocratic plan of campaign in this coun-
ty this fall included the formation of
precinct Bryan-kern clubs in every
precinct in the county. 1t has been
arranged for democrats of the var
ious city precincts, and those near
the city, to meet in the democratic
headquarters in the Ransom building,
and to this end a call has been issued
for the democrats of Small precinct to
meet at the headquarters Monday
evening for the purpose of forming
club.
1t is probable that Lewis precinct
democrats will meet Tuesday evening"
and the other precincts in the city
will held their meetings some time next
week.
A pledge to vote for Bryan and Kern
electors is to be made the sole quail
fication for membership in these clubs
and it is believed that the plan will
serve to arouse much enthusiasm
among the democrats of the county

its intersection with the old westbury
road, thence south across fiat coun-
try to the Hampstead plains. thence
to the beginning of the cement way
and eastward over this to the grand
stand, the start and finish.
Near the beginning of the parkway
portion Of the new Vanderbilt cup
course, is the famous Meadow Brook
Hunt club. To the west of this, along
the Old Country road, is the town of
Mineola. West of the town and about
four miles from the entrance will be
the headquarters for the Vanderbilt
cup commission. 1t is a short run from
this hostelry down the Old Country
road to the cement parkway and along
this to the grandstand, so it will be
possible for visitors to the cup race
to remain as heretofore in the Garden
City hotel overnight and travel to the
grandstand by motor early in the
morning.
Complete arrangements have been
made for guarding the entire course,
and little Or no trouble is anticipated
on this score. because no part Of It
passes through any settlement where
a large crowd of spectators might
gather. In fact, the four sides of the
course are much more isolated than
has been the case in any previous
Vanderbilt race.

ribboners from all over the United
States are the guests of Denver today
and commenced what promises to
be one of the most interesting ma
tional conventions in the history of
the woman's Christian Temperance
union. Although Denver has a reputa-
ton as a wide-open, joyous. frivolous
town and has long been one of the
strongholds of the demon rum" the
visitors were given a hearty welcome
and will be elaborately entertained
during their stay in the mile high
eity. Even some facetious dealers
in wet goods have paid their respects
to the host of temperance women by
displaying white ribbons in their win
dows and posting signs inviting the
delegates to come in and wet their
whistles"-an invitation which won
scornful and indignant shifts from the
passing disciples of prohibition.
Enthusiasm such as has never be-
fore marked a national convention of
