For Princes Brides

CHICAGO, Aug. 5-The Tribune
says: The king of Servia seeks alli-
ances with Chicago heiresses for his
two sons. Already an emissary is on
his way to this country to choose.
The idea of the king of Servia has
so greatly pleased the czar of Russia
that he has gone so far as to agree
that he will stand god father to the
first born to either prince through his
American union
Chicago girls were chosen as pros
pective wives of the royal princes
owing to the favorable impression ere
ated on Russian and Servian people
by the Princess Cantacuzena, a for
mer Chicago girl.

Mayor Eugene Tausick, in His In
auSural Address, Talks Very
Plainly to the City Fathers

At last nights meeting of the city
counciI, the inaugural address of May
~, E-ugene Tausick was read. The fact
thar the mayor would outline the poll
iev OF his administration, attracted a
large number of spectators to the new
CITY hall. and they listened attentive
n, to the reading of the inaugural by
city Clerk Hart.
NayOr Tausick said:
In presenting to you my first mes
sage. | wish first OF all TO call your
sneciaI attention to the financial condi-
tion of our city. | believe the first
5rtv Won owe the citizens of Walla
Walla is 10 acquaint yourselves with
the financial condition of the city.
once understanding fully this condi-
ton of the city you will be able to
belp outline a policy that will be ben
efcial. and will help you to cast your
votes intelligently, and to keep the
expenses Of the city within its rev.
enue
we have been spending in the past
more than we have been collecting
from all revenues. | also want to
urge each committeeman to study the
reports OF his respective department.

money is being spent, and how we'll
the work is being done. We want to
make some improvements and keep up
the good appearance of the city, and
at the same time keep the eXpen-
ditures within the revenue collected
for such purposes. This may be a
hard task for you, but gentlemen it
must be done.
The revenue for the coming year
will be about 100000 The estimated
fixed expenses based on last years
fixed expense will amount to about
Sl40 600. One month of the fiscal year
has alread0y passed and there has
been about 1000 paid out, and the
furniture for the new city hall is sim
to be paid for. so you can easily see
that if there are any extraordinary
expenses to be incurred, the fixed ex-
penses will have to be cut down. l
believe you can do this and do it with
out cutting the wages of any employees

CAMP DAVID S. STANLEY, Aug.
4.-Uncle Sam will spend about $1,000
every day this month feeding 2,54S
regulars and 5000 national guardsmen
assembled here to play at war and
learn the practical things of the solt
dier's life Every man will be given
the same ration he enjoys when at
home in his own barracks, and not
more than cents day will be needed
to keep each man strong and well fed.
Approximately $4,000 will settle the
board bill OF this camp during it's four
weeks existence.
Then there are about 1000 mules
and horses, which must be fed at least
twice a day, which will add in the
neighborhood of $4,000 to the cost OF
food for this encampment.
Even more important than the six
play war problems to be solved is the
problem OF subsistence. For months
the uuartermaster and the cOmmissary
of the Columbia had the
solution under way, buC only with the
first issuance of stores and subsistence
s,1pplies Friday did the master hand
guiding it all come into evidence.
There are in the neighborhood OF
20 900 acres here at American Lake for
but two small fenced-1n
areas within the shadow OF Murray
station are the keystones. For within
these two areas-together less than an
acre in extent-are the storehouses.
Night and day armed sentries patroi
the ouartermasler's and commissary's
domains. and nothing leaves either OF
them unless carefully noted in the de-
partmental red tape. There is plenty
for all but not one ounce to waste.
The staff of life comes first on the
program OF subsistence. Stored In the
department are 112,5"o
of flour milled on Puget sound
and to be converted in che camps
eiehteen flash ovens into 5000 ra-
tions of bread daily. Ten Thousand
bread rations0 have already been
drawn and baking in earnest begins

list are $4,000 pounds OF

such a way that the improvements can
