ONE ANNEXATION PROPOSITION
CARRIED IN YESTERDAYS
ELECTION

One annexation proposition carried
yesterday and one lost. as result OF
the special election held in the city
yesterday. BON propositions carried
Overwhelmingly in the city. but under
the law the city must not only want an
outside district to come in but the dis
trict itself must come in before the city

The people residing in the territory
embraced in proposition No. 1, voted
to come into the city, 81 votes being
cast for the proposition and IL against
it, while those residing in the territory
embraced proposition No voted
against annexation to the city by 16 for
and 81 against.
The people in the city voted in favor
Of proposition No. l by a vote of 1910
to 76 and in favor of proposition No.
2 by vote of $50 to so.
The residents of the territory en-
braced in proposition No. 1 will prob
ably become citizens Of Walla Walla
before the end of the month. although
they will not be able to vote, as the
registration books will be closed. Some
routine work must yet be done before
the annexation is actually made. Next
Monday night the council will canvas
the vote. AS soon as this is done, the
city clerk will prepare a certificate, set
ting forth the fact that the proposed
annexation is entitled to become a part
of the city, and this certificate will be
signed by Mayor Kellough and City
Clerk Hart and forwarded to the secre-
tary Of state at Olympia. On the day
| this is filed in the Office of the SeCre-
tary of state, the territory described
in the certificate becomes a part of the

had offered these men work if they
would come for it, but they never
came
Il am afraid" said DR.. Devine. that
the bread line is composed of weak
men; men who. when it comes to a de-
cison, listen to their baser and not
their higher selves"
