COUNCIL
TO PIPE PARK
COMMERCIAL CLUB SUGGESTS
WAY THAT EXPENSE CAN
BE MET.

A serious question of providing
funds to install a complete water sys-
tenn in the city park. along lines laid
down by the park commission. has
arisen and the matter was taken up
and discussed at length at last nights
meeting of the Commercial club. The
system. according to estimates will
cost approximately $4,000.
In view of the fact that the city has
question Of providing funds for the
proposed water system is a puzzling
well as the park commission.
j. w. Langdon, chairman of the park
commission, appeared before the Com
mercial club last night and asked that
the club recommend strongly to the
council that this work be done, even
at the expense mentioned.
Mr.. Langdon made a fOrceful talk
concerning the park movement. He
showed how the park commission had
|started. How thsy had formulated
plans that would cost the movement
|$2500 if drawn up by a park expert. He
mentioned the systematic way in which
they had gone about the work, A
spirit was first stirred up, then the
buttons We're introduced and the ball
|set rolling But water must be put in
the park. he said. While the cost would
be considerable it would cost more
|if left until later.
One solution offered in the matter
was that the merchants handling the
pipe and other necessary materials,
should sell these to the city on 80 or
120 days time, with something like
$1,000 down. BY the expiration of the
time mentioned, the city would have
fcollected taxes and could meet the OBJ
legation. Mr.. Langdon asked that the
lclub advise the council to rescind their
faction and pipe the park.
Only about 700 buttons have as vet
been sold and these are to be the rev.
lenue of the park movement The bene-
'fit in the. Pavilion rink will bring in
money and several other benefits are
being planned but it was the opinion
|of those present last night that people
ought to be willing to support the park
movement without going to benefit
where they get their moneys worth in
another way. They will get value re-
|ceived for every cent invested in the
park.
AT the conclusion of the discussion
which followed Mr.. Langion's address,
the club voted unanimously to ask the
council to pipe the city park at what
lever expense.

|Slx DAY RACE At RINK GROWS
EXCITING As THE END
NEARS.

Much interest and excitement pre-
walls at the Pavilion skating rink these
nights over the skating race which is
being pulled off there. There are seven
contestants in the running and all are
doing great stunts to win the race.

every evening. The race is being run
on the same principle as is harness
event on the race track. Each night a
heat Is skated and the winner of the
most heats is the winner of the race.
This has been found more satisfactory
THAN counting mileage. So far there
has been no one able to win two heats,
four different men being winners of the
four heats pulled off up to this time.
The first heat, run on Monday night,
was won by Wills; Stevens won Tues
day night; Griffin came in ahead on
Wednesday night, and last night,
Crews crossed the tape first. In case the
race comes out tie, those tying for
first place will run it off.

BUILD CAR LINE
TO FAIR GROUNDS
WALLA WALLA TRACTION COM
PANY TO BEGIN coNsTRUc-
TON WORK NEXT WEEK,

Announcement was made today by
officers of the Walla Walla County
Fair association that arrangements
have been completed for stockholders
in the association to purchase $4,000
worth of bonds from the Walla Wal
la Traction company and that con-
Struction work on the line to the fair
grounds, under consideration for sew
eral months, will be commenced next
week and rushed to completion as soon
as possible.
The exact route of the line has not
yet been determined but will probably
be announced within a few days. The
traction company has much of the
material, necessary to build the line, on
hand and little delay is expected in
completing the line before summer.
The cost of the new line will ap-
proximate $4,000 and bonds to this
amount will be subscribed for by
stockholders and others interested in
securing car service for the fair
grounds and a large residence district
IN that vicinity. The question of the
talr association subscribing for bonds
sufficient to build the line was taken
up last year but no satisfactory agree
ment could be reached between the
association and the traction company
ard the negotiations fell through.
car service to the fair grounds, the
offcers of the association believe, will
result in much larger attendance at
the annual fair and race meet eacn
year, the only mode of transportation
heretofore being by private convey
ances which had a tendency to curtall
the attendance.
