This kind of weather makes

This kind of weather makes
a sensible man wonder why
any one should desire to leave
Iowa to go to Canada. If the
weather shows a temperature
of 10 degrees below zero here
in Iowa what must it be at
Manatoba, and if it is too cold
for comfort here in Iowa, why
sell out a good home here to go
to the land of frost and snow
in Canada. That land is good
up there may be true, but
what can you hope to do, even
with good land, when it is UNI
der ice and snow half of the
year. Better stick to old Iowa.
Everyone in England is har
up, according to Jerome K. Jer-
ONE. Some are hard up for a

In this country those who have

touring cars are hard up for

WALLA WALLA COL
LEGE CELEBRATES
ITS BIRTHDAY.
Seventeen Years Ago the
Foundation for School
Was First Started.

Seventeen years ago today the foun-
dation was laid for Wal1a Walla col
lege and today the institution has lift
ed it's burden of debt. which has been
an occasion of rejoicing. A jubilee
program was held in the college cha
pei last evening at which time very
interesting description of the rise and
progress of the institution was given.
The educational work of the Seventh
day Adventists was begun on the coast
about "a years ago by a minister nam
ed Chas. Boyd. who started small
school in Portland. A larger school
was needed and in 1886 the Milton
academy was organized at Milton,
Oregon with Elder Colcord and wife
as teachers. This soon grew and new
buildings We're erected and a larger
faculty was needed The attendance
grew and soon over one hundred stu
dents were enrolled. The buildings are
now occupied by the Columbia College
Again the interests of the school de-
manded attention and accordingly a
committee meeting was called in the
city of Portland to con 'idt,i tho qu ~
ton. Several of the comm 'ttee wanted
the new school locate at Portland, but
others were favorable 10 some 3'':nt in
eastern Washington or Dragon ard it
was decided to 1ooE nsar slc tcrriinrr
with that end in view. The commit
tee were enroute to Walla Walla when
a newspaper reporter on the train
learned of their mission and tele-
graphed ahead that a delegation was
headed for Walla Walla with view
of locating a school.
The Walla Walla people were wide
awake to the situation and as they
ever have been, were ready to lend their
financial support A meeting of some
of the representative citizens was call
ed and splendid inducements were
made. Several tracts of land were Of
fered but the present site was chosen
which was the gift of DR.. N. G. Bla-
lock and consisted of a 40-acre tract.
Other land was also donated and the
citizens responded freely in the way of

Farmers Are Bitterly Opposed to New
Regulations, Which They Say
Are Discriminatory.

Several business men in discussing
the article relative to the hitching or
dinance which the farmers take ex-
ception to, stated today that in their
opinion the position of those who fav
ored the ordinance was not fairly stat
ed. In speaking of the matter one of
the men said:
1T is not intended to deprive the
public of reasonable hitching facilities.
but on the other hand, if hitching racks
are erected by owners of property with
in the business district to the full ex-

than are now to be found within that
area The ordinance allows hitching

Delay on Construction is

Because w. S. Matthias, manager OF

ton company failed to make good in
the so days allowed him and has been
unable to produce the cash that was
represented as being behind him, he
has been deposed and work for the
time being is at a. standstill.
The work of building this road was
awarded Mr.. Matthias on consideration
that he do certain things, but failing
in this in every particular, the direc-
tors of the company are now looking
for another and more efficient manager
road, but at the present nothing will
be accomplished in his direction until
the right man is found to engineer it,
Trouble was rife between Mr.. Mat

when, because of wages in arrears

The Continental hotel was packed
when the announcement of the vote
was made Mrs. Story moved that the
election be made unanimous but the
move was not carried. Mrs. Mclean
declared the motion lost, but said she
was glad that Mrs. Story was so
gracious. Some suggest a contest, al

"Tnis will certainly furnish everyone
a reasonable opportunity to transact
business. The object of the ordinance
is to prevent the erection of hitching
posts in the business district. The
fault of the present places lies in the
fact that certain business houses are
cut off by the use of hitching racks
from reasonable access to the street
and also by reason of the fact that the
crowding of the teams at such places
is both unsightly and unhealthfui.

of the city and to the residents of the
country The interests of the city and
country residents are mutual; that

his own way. An option of so days
was given him in which to make
good at the end of which time, if
certain conditions had not been full
filed, he was to retire. This he has
done.
The directors of this road wish it
distinctly understood that work has
only been delayed temporarily and not
permanently. Owing to the poor Sc
lection they made in the manager,
things have not gone smoothly, but
realizing that this valley is perfectly
able to support a first class electric
road, it is their intention to build one.
One of the directors in speaking of the
matter this morning said:
THE only fault is that our manager
did not do the things that he promised
to do. Owing to certain railroad fac
tions getting a hold on him, he was
prevented from accomplishing what he
otherwise might have done. 1t is a
difficult business constructing an cleo
tric road nowadays, because Of the
fight that the railroads put up, but
nevertheless we intend to do so.'
Mr. SAMSON, who severed his con-
nections with this road some time ago,
stated this morning that he was a
party to deception on the part Of
Matthias and as such had no use for
the man.
