Now that it is practically assured
that Walla Walla is to nave a pubic
building, the question Of a suitable site
will be the next thing to decide. The
new building, harboring at is will, the
postoffice, land office. federal court and
other government Offices it is necessary
that site as centrally situated as pos
sible, be secured. The government reg
uIations require that public buildings
be free and apart from other buildings
so the selection of suitable site, con-
venient to the business portion of the
city will require careful considera-
tion.

portion of that article, and we quote
in part. Mr. Choate' language, as fol-

peril-from the east. 1t is coming; IL
will be here before we are ready for 1T.
s. why will men sleep until the
dogs of war snatch at their threats?
They have a hungry NAV, that is not
easily satisfied; they know all our weak
points. our poor defenses, and are only
waiting for the chance that is almost
at hand.
And again ne says, referring to the
impending Japan war: Words OF
warning should not be disregarded;
they should fall on fruitful soil. The
keynote has been sounded; see that We
listen to it and fail not in time of trial.
All weak places must be re-en-
forced and strengthened in every pos
sibIe way. for the enemy's Watchdogs
are lurking about, spying upon every
action that denotes preparation for de-
Tense. Be not deceived by fair out
ward seeming, for in their hearts they
harbor murder and revenge. Their
knives are sharp, the aim of their guns
deadly, and they are fearless fighters. 1
tell you again. this is no time for falt-
ering: we must make ready on both
sea and land for their encroachment,

Iethargv that encompasses you, and
arise in the strength of your noble
manhood, and disperse the insidious
foe that under the pretense of serving
have made themselves masters of the
situation"
War is an awful thing and We sim

condition, and trust their worst fears
will never be realized. However, we

He was able get to the scene with his ambulance i'm mediately, which fact probably saved tn, boys life.
 From the descriptions furnished by eye witnesses, the boy was attempting to crawl under the train, going between two freight cars. The train started and he somehow fell to the ground, directly pe- meath the wheels of the car. One or ms legs were cut off at once and the other was terribly mangled as the moving cars dragged him at least 30 feet before they came to stop.
 Several men who were near rushed to the scene and extricated him from be- meath the wheels while Mackey went at cnce to his undertaking establishment to get his ambulance. He made record run with the injured boy to Birmingham. From the time he left the boy until ne reached Talley & McAdory's infirmary only IA minutes and 20 seconds had elapsed. This included going to the ann t,ulance, hitching it up, getting the boy comfortably placed inside and driving to the intirmary.

 On the first hearing of the case testi- mony was introduced tending to show that one specimen of milk from the Glen Iris establishment contained 29 100000 bac. teria per cubic centimeter.
 An effort was also made to prove that the alleged impurity of the milk sold by Darby was partially responsible for the widespread epidemic of typhoid fever which prevailed last summer. The con- viction of Darby was followed by his closing the depot he had formerly run, and it is understood the property changed hands.
 Just what course the case will now take is matter of conjecture. It is thought that Darby may institute a suit against the csty of Birmingham, in which instance the case will possibly go to the supreme court for final settlement
