Look to Newspapers For
Publicity Campaign Work

An expenditure Of $50 Il month for
newspaper advertising, to be in
creased as the income of the associa-
ton increases, was decided upon at
the meeting of the Manufacturers as
sOciatiOn, held in the rooms of the
Commercial club yesterday evening,
and the first appearance of the ad-
vartisements, to consist of a classified
column of Walla Walla manufactures,
will be in Saturday evenings dailies,
and in the Sunday issue Of the morn
ing paper. Only those whose dues
are paid up by Friday will be entitled
to representation ON the Made In
members who pay up as the work goes
on, will be entered from time to time.
There are at the present time
about So establishments in the city
that are directly interested in the cam

ness men did not see where they were
being benefited, they have dropped
out and are taking but little part in
the work. 1t is believed that the
newspaper publicity which is to be
given Made in Walla Walla'' goods
through the classified column, will
have the effect of re-interestfng
those who have lost interest, as the
space in the column is worth many
times more than the 81 a month dues.

SAN FRANCISCO. Calf, Dec. l.
Developments today are increasing
to support the theory that Chief OF
Police Biggy, who mysteriously dis
appeared from a launch in the bay
last night while returning to San
Francisco, jumped into the water with
suicidal intent, while smarting under
the bitter criticism directed toward
him as result of the investigation OF
his official conduct in connection with
the circumstances surrounding the
assassin Morris Haas.
Ever since the attempt to assassin
ate Heney, the police department has
been in a state of unrest. Biggy was
severely criticized following the shoot
ing. Papers printed stories to the
effect that Biggy should be removed
or should resign.
Biggy went over last night to see
one of the police commissioners and it
is supposed that he was told by the
commissioner that the charges filed
against him by the graft prosecution
would be pressed at the coming hear
'ng. The theory is he feared he would
be removed and sought death instead.
A. d. Cutler, president of the police
commissioners board, has been ap-
pointed as acting chief of police.
1t is pointed out that Biggy did not
take his usual escort of two policemen

the close of the war, he was honorably
discharged, and in 1859 he crossed the
plains to Oregon, where, for 10 years
he was employed in Albany and Rose
burg as bookkeeper and accountant for
the old Oregon & California railroad
company
In 1882 Mr. Hart moved to this state,
and settled in Klickitat county, where
he has lived for three years, later COM
ing to Wal a Walla, where he has since
lived. During his early residence in
this city, Mr.. Hart was employed as
accountant for many Of the pioneer
business houses, and it was thought
the books of SO many concerns his
eyes were affected thus causing the
trouble which he later experienced.
Few accountants ever gave better sat
isfaction, and many Of the time
business men relied entirely upon Mr..
Hart, making no effort themselves to
gain knowledge from the books and
records.
For two years Mr.. Hart was employ
ed as deputy city clerk, under his son,
7. d. S. Hart, the present incumbent.
and until his eyes began failing, was
a va liable assistant in caring for the
city's affairs. He was a member Of
the Masonic order, and it is probable
that the funeral will be conducted un-
der the auspices Of that lodge.
Mr. Hart leaves, besides his wife, two
sons and three daughters. They are
City Clerk Thomas d. S. Hart, Nat b.
Hart, Mrs Mamie Pearl, Mrs. Daisy
O'Brien, all of Walla Walla, and Mrs.
FL a LaFountaine, Of Seattle. The
funeral arrangements are being held
pending the arrival of the latter.

or the government departments, have
been brought together what is prob
ably the most useful collection of
facts about the material things on
are based that has ever been as
sembled at one time Reports present
ing these facts and pointing out their
significance have been prepared. These
reports. summarized and indexed, will
be submitted to the commission at it's
present meeting.
The work is now practically done.
The facts are there, in dollars and
cents, tons of coal, board feet of tim
Der. acres of land, acre feet, and horse
power of water. And the possi-
BILE reform measures have been
weighed. The final report to the presi-
dent will be the necessary supplement
to the addresses at the White House
conference. The note of these ad-
dresses was a note of warning. The
report is expected to show that the
warning must be needed if the ex-
haustion Of natural resources is not,
one day, to impoverish the nation,
and it will also undoubtedly bring out
how the country's resources can be
developed so as to last the longest
possible time and serve the greatest
good of the people
Next week will be a conservati IN
week in Washington. Besides the
meeting of the governors the Country
Life commission will hold a meeting.

He said nobody except Engineer Muir

Belvedere, a small summer resort, to
see Commissioner Keil, who has been
B1ggys supporter on the board, Keil
came to the waters edge to talk to
Biggy and conversed some time. Muir
ply did not hear what they said and
Keil did not tell this morning.
1t is generally believed that KeiI
informed Biggy he couldn't take up
Biggy's fight before the board. At

the following telephone message:

the engine. On nearing shore, Murphy
first discovered that Biggy was miss

Mrs. Biggy, the divorced wife Of the
chief, declared today she believed Big

to commit suicide; he did not drink;

Hon W. T. Vernon, Register of the
Treasury, delivered the principal ad-
dress to the graduates of the Meharry
Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical
Colleges of Walden University, Nash
vile, Tenn, on the evening of March
31st, in the presence of a capacity
audience at the Ryman Auditorium.
The exercises had been arranged
with great care by the faculty and
members OF the graduating classes and
were of unusual interest and appro-
priateness and successfully executed
The music, both vocal and instru-
mental, were of very high character
and rendered with singular beauty.
The Nashville American, one of the
leading dailies of the South, gives the
following extracts from the Registers
address:
Il always count it an opportunity
greatly welcomed when permitted to
say word to those who stand at the
threshold of career.
Men of the class of 1908, your mis-.
sion is indeed lofty To you will be
Afforded the opportunity of dealing with
the structural side of the race, and
broader than race will be your inlu.
ence in that their destiny affects our
common country and all humanity.
Then let us to the task of dealing
with our problems manfully and fear
lessly as becomes the future leaders
of confiding, struggling race. Your
lives must harmonize with the domi-
nant sentiment of this progressive age.
THE tendency of our civilization is
toward association on right principles,
helpful cooperation, liberation and JUS

portunties SURPRISING the dreams OF
all ages past. The accumulated knowl.
edge of the world, through centuries
grown, is yours.
