OPEN AIR SERVICES
AGAIN THIS SUMNER
Churches Are to Unite Again and Hold
Their Evening Meetings in the
Open Air During Heated
Season.

The Protestant churches of the city
will probably unite again this summer
in conducting open air services every
Sunday evening during the heated sea-
son. The first step looking toward
such a course was taken yesterday af-
ternoon at a meeting of the Minister
ial association held in the parlors of
the Y NJ G.. A. 1t is thought prop
able that the court house grounds Will
be again secured for the meetings pu1
as vet no definite plans have been maue,
the matter having been left IN the
hands of a committee of local pastors.
The association also voted to tender
its thanks to the physicians VINO oe-
liyered health addresses in several Oh
the churches Sunday evening. The res
olutions and other deliberations OF the
association follow:
Resolved, That we hereby extend 70
Drs. c. N Suttner, Walter Russell u
w. Summers and c.. e. Montgomery as
we'll as Profs H. S. Brode and WliiiaIl
Worthington our sincere appreciation OF
their efforts in preparing and deliver
ing the helpful and instructive addres-
ses Sunday evening on questions ap-
pertaining to the public health ana tna'
we do most heartily commend the
broadminded public spirit which these
efforts upon their part evinced.
The association also decided TO rec
ommend to the congregations that open
air vesper services similar to those
held last summer be held during the
hot weeks of the approaching summer
and a committee consisting of Revs
James Cement Red, Samuel Grumpy
Fisher and Robert Warner was ap-
pointed to arrange for details of suci
services.
An interesting paper was read b,
Rev. Raymond c. Brooks, of the F1rs
CONGREGATIONAL church on The Gospe
of Work" which evoked considerable
discussion.

Correspondent of the United
Press Visits Camp of
Great Hunter.
ACCOMPANIED HIM
ON HUNTING TRIP
Colonel and Kermit Are in
Good Health Despite
RumorS.

NAIROBI, May 25.-(By Warrington
Dawson staff correspondent United
Press .)-After spending Sunday and
Monday with Roosevelt and his party
at their camp at Heatly ranch, 1 am
able to vouch for the truth of the
stories of Roosevelt's popularity with
the natives, who are accompanying him
on his trip.
We, remained in camp all day Sun
day and Monday went out on a buffalo
hunt. We were after a herd of seven
but rode for hours without getting a
trace of the game. The colonel and
Kermit had fine sport shooting small
er game
Stories that Colonel Roosevelt and
Kermit are i'll are groundless. Roose-
welt will return to Nairobi tomorrow to
visit Governor Jackson. He will re-
main as guest of the governor until
June 2, when he will start southwark
on further hunting adventures.

Moisture. Indications This Season Are
More Hopeful in Comparison
Than at the Same Time
i'm the Year 1903.

Weather Observer John Grover Of
fers some slight hope of rain in his
prediction for the next "a hours to the
effect that showers will be in effect to-
night and tomorrow. The deficiency in
precipitation to date, when compared
with the deficiency for the same period
of last year, shows 1909 to have been
blessed with more rain than 1908.
From January 1 to May 80, 1908, the
deficiency in rainfall was S.42 inches,
while from January 1 to date, 1909
the deficiency amounts to but 81 of
an inch. The good showing made by
the first months Of this year is ac-
counted for by the heavy SHOWS Of
January and February.

as soon as practicable, the business

As the Potlatch company is one
which deals primarily with fir timber

the scarcity of the former wood in this

WEI Enjoin Treasurer.

SALEM, May 25-L. H. McMahan
will file a suit to restrain the state
treasurer from setting aside 100000
for the construction of the Crater Lake
road this week. He will have papers
ready within a couple of days. The at
torney will also bring a similar action
enjoining the state from paying over
$4,000 to aid Malheur county in build
ing bridge over the Snake river into
Idaho. Mcmahon contends that both
acts are unconstitutional because they
are local and special acts, and that
neither project is important enough
to make a demand upon the taxpayers
of the whole state.

FOURTH OF
JULY UP TO
MERCHANTS
Commercial Club Will Take
No Action Unless
Requested.
FAIR ASSOCIATION
WILLING TO HELP
Race Track People May Get
Monopoly on the
Celebration.

Unless the business men of the CIV
take some action in the immediate flu
ture by which a Fourth of July ceIe-
bration under the auspices of the Com
mercIal club is demanded, no action
VIII be taken by that body with the
view to causing the eagle to scream,
and the only demonstration here on
the nations birthday Will be that al
ready launched by the WaIIa .WaeIa
Fair association.
In speaking of the matter of a cele-
bration this morning one of the Off
cials of the Commercial club said:
THE club will probably take no ac-
ton, unless a request is made by the
business men that such action on the
part of the organization is desired A
proper celebration here would mean
the expenditure of $4,000, and as the
club has solicited considerable
amount for other purposes in the past
year, the members do not seem to con-
slider a celebration of burning import
ance."
Would Cooperate.
Secretary Robert H. Johnson, of the
fair association, who has launched
the plans for a big demonstration at
the fair grounds on Monday, July 5,
says he would be glad to cooperate
with the Commercial club in case it
decides to get up a celebration.
Mr.. Johnson is today out of the city
making arrangements for some of the
attractions that are to appear here on
July 5, and everything possible will be
done to make the 1909 demonstration
one of the biggest ever given in Wal
la WaIla-

COUNCIL WOULD
CLEAN THE ALLEYS
Health Committee Devising Plans
Whereby Back Yards May Be
Rid of Objectionable Trash.

Health authorities of the city are
trying to devise some means whereby
the manure heaps in many of the al
leys, left there by the busy, busy Ce-
lestials, may be removed, and it is not
improbable that an ordinance will be
drawn up and introduced before the
council in the near future, providing
that all property owners keeping
stock within the city limits shall pay
stipulated sum per month for the
removal of such refuse. or remove it
personally.
The removal of stock-yard refuse
has been a burr in the sock of the
health department for several years
past, and an ordinance drawn up and
introduced a year ago, providing that
each property owner should contribute
to the removal of garbage, was turn
ed down because of the general OBJ
lection that was entered. In the spring
and autumn months the Chinese
gardeners are only too anxious to take
all manure they can secure, but when
the heated season comes, with it's
garden truck and the necessity of
much attention, manure heaps are al
lowed to accumulate in the alleys, and
the city has no way to remove the
Objectionable matter.
1t is argued, in favor of change,
that each owner of stock pay small
sum each month for the removal Of
manure, and that in case such action
is refused, the city remove the same,
and charge such removal to the in
terested taxpayer. With the arrival
of hot weather and the accumulation
of manure, flies, those stfcky-legged
little pests of the human race and
disseminators of disease germs, are
afforded the nest kind Of breeding
places.

Chinks Unreliable.

That the almond-eyed gardeners
are unreliable in the removal of barn
yard commodities has been proven
year after year in Walla Walla. Dur
ing the fall and spring months the
precision with which they move
through the streets with loaded, foul
smelling wagons, is remarkable, but
with the maturing of garden truck.
their teams are employed in the ped
ding process and as result many of
the alleys become wholly or partially
clogged, and the health authorities
are well-nigh powerless to effect a
change, for the reason that the gar
| bage man has no contract for the re-
moval of such refuse.
Nothing denite has yet been done,
| but it is estimated that an ordinance
will be drawn up in the near future
and introduced in council meeting,
| looking to the elimination Of the ac-
cumulation against which many resi-
dents are already protesting.
