in East Main street for holding the

large enough to accommodate the large
number of entries already received
from local and Cut-Of-tow fanciers.

birds being on exhibition and this

Ie0 by the time the show opens.

Although three inspectors are To-
Icated here. there is no bureau of meat
There is no deputy cOllec-
tor of internal revenue. There is no
sufficient accommodation for the land
office, which collects more than $So,-
900 90 yearly. The postoffice is not
housed in cOmmOdious quarters ana

In the event of a postal savings bank
it would have to find new quarters dt

The building could be built now at
much less cost than in Few years
and when it is considered that many
towns of less size ahd Importance than
Walla Walla have been given federal
buildings. it seems but reasonable
there should be one here.

JAPANESE EXCLUSION QUESTION

Failure of Congress to Provide Satisfactory
Legislation Will Probably Start
Trouble Again

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The Japa-
nese question is looming up bigger.
more unwieldy and more dangerous
every day 1t is the prevailing opinion
that failure Oh the part of the United
States to negotiate an exclusion treaty
with Japan and the failure of congress
to provide legislation on the matter
would start trouble again President
Roosevelt has held frequent confer
ences upon the subject With California
and Pacific coast congressional dele
gates and it is believed that an accept
able exclusion treaty will yet be ar
ranged. The matter is in the hands of
the president a present.

RUHAMA BARACA
 WORK FLOURISHES
YESTERDAY MORNING iii MEM- BERs WERE PRESENT, WHICH IS CONSIDERED EXCELLENT FOR SIZE OF CHURCH.

A matter of considerable interest just now among the Sunday school workers of the immediate Birmingham district Is the growth and method of building of the Ruhama Baraca Bible class of the Ruhama Baptist church of East Lake.
 Yesterday morning there were Ill members present when the class met at the Ruhama church. The class is composed entirely of young men and con- sidering the membership of the Ruhama church, the showing of the Baraca class is considered exceptionally good. The or ganization is one of the largest, if not the largest, of its kind in Birmingham.
 The large membership of the class has been attained only by the hard work of its members. During the past month every Sunday afternoon from 10 to 15 members of the class have gotten out and made a house to house canvass of East Lake. inviting every young man to attend the class meeting on the follow ing Sunday morning. This method is still being practiced and it Is hoped by those interested that the membership of the Ruhama Baraca can be carried to even higher figure.

GREAT INCREASE IN THE
 GERMAN REGULAR ARMY

The Fifteenth and Sixteenth army corps will there oppose each other in mimic war, and undergo severe tactical and strategic instruction under the immedi- ate eye of the Emperor.
 Each of these corps is to be made up of three divisions of infantry and a di- vision of cavalry with the requisite for artillery. The infantry regiments are to consist of three battalions of 800 men each. Two of these regiments will form a brigade, two brigades a division, and three divisions an army corps, so that each corps will possess 2S,S00 infantrymen alone, while the staff will have at it's disposal for emergencies a reserve in fantry regiment and a reserve battery of artillery. The cavalry division attached to each corps comprises 10 regiments.
 Some instructive siege operations, with attacks by heavy artillery on field forti- fcations such as happened during the Russo-Japanese war, are to be executed.
 The garrison and coast artillery are to undertake lengthy periods of defense ex- ercises along the coasts In conjunction with the navy. Each battery has had $50 live shells to each gun for shooting prac- tice. 4..
