October 20. 1t was the rally of the

WALLA WALLA
ACTS DECENTLY
YIELDS TO SPOKANE IN MATTER
OF NATIONAL IRRIGATION
CONGRESS.

Compromise is offered by the Com
mercial club to Spokane in the matter
of national meetings to be held next
year. Both cities have been wanting
the national irrigation congress and
the national meeting of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative union.
And there promised to be a scrap. For
while Walla Walla is not as large as
Spokane, she is a goer and there is
some reason to believe that she could
get her share of what is coming.
However, the flag Of truce has been
run up by Secretary A. c.. More, who
| is the mOuthpiece for the local COM
mercial body. They have decided that
compromise is better than fight and
that the Inland Empire will be better
off if harmony is the rule rather than
discord. Hence Secretary Moore has
written the Spokane chamber of COM
merce Il letter, in which he states that
Walla Walla is no hog and is willing to
do the square thing. The letter fol-
lows:
Chamber of commerce: Your favor
letter of the National Farmers con-
gress. l had in mind the national
! meeting of the Farmers Educational
| and Cooperative union and have since
learned that an entirely different Or
ganzation goes by the name of the
National Farmers congress.
] While we have already received as
surances of support from the irrigation
districts in regard to the Irrigation
congress, we feel that Spokane can
better entertain the large number of
visitors and as Spokane has expressed
| a Willingness to undertake it, Walla
| Walla will lend her influence to Sc
| cure the Irrigation congress for Spo-
| kane. if Spokane in return, will use
| her influence to secure the national
| assembly of the Farmers Educational
| and Cooperative union for Walla Wal
, la.
/ In this way there will be no conflict
/ in the state ranks. If you agree to this
plan will YOU kindly advice at once
| that we act accordingly?
