Bees Survive
Long Journey

Two full -blooded Italian queen bees,
each accompanied by an escort of d
cou,le Of dozen males, arrived in Wal
la Walla Saturday, apparently in good
health and spirits after their five thou
sand mile journey The bees came, by
registered mail, to Ambrose Rypezynski
the well known bee fancier, who runs
an ap:ary on the Coyle ranch near the
city.
During their long journey the bees
were fed from a supply of sugared
honey placed in one end of the tiny
cake in which they were mailed. But
one hee of each set died on the trip,
and, according to Mr.. Rypezynski, it AS
probable that these fatalities were due
to jealousy. rather than to bad condl-
tions surrounding the journey. The
Italian bees, which are said to be bet
ter producers of honey than the Ameri-
can bee. are of a bright red color and
extremely pretty.

daughter, Dan Murray, Canadian Paci-

The girl had been burned, and the
railroad officials cleared the track Of
all other traffic to permit Murray to
get the best out of his engine. The
strain was tremendous. and the terrific
pace made the run dangerous, but
Murray kept his nerve.
His great run. however, was un-

Invitation to Jones
Will Be Recalled
Yakima Congressman Will Not Speak Here
Under Auspices of Organized Labor.

That Wesley L. Jones will not de-
liver the Labor day address, in Wal
la Walla seems to be the concensus of
opinion of union men. and the predic-
ton is freely made that when the
trades council meets next FRIDAY
night, steps will be taken to recall the
invitation extended the Yakima con-
gresham, unless, as limited by friends
of Mr.. Jones, he suddenly discovers
that he will be unable to visit Walla
Walla on that day and saves the COM
mittee the trouble of recalling the in
vitation.
In order that the delegates to the
trades council may thoroughly under
stand the sentiment of the unions they
represent. special meetings of the var
ious locals will be held between now
and Friday night, at which it is ex-
pected the mater will be fully dis
cussed and resolutions adopted ex-
pressing the sentiment of the members
of the union. With this end in view, q

union was held yesterday.
