stream in a locality where running
brooks and creeks are all too scarce
land is a factor which to a large eX-
tent determines the values of all prop
erty in it's vicinity, identifying the
same, and aiding in it's cultivation
irrigation and general attractiveness;
THAT there are vested rights in
! the waters of said stream and in the
use of said waters which the city has
no right to cut off without condem-
nation and compensation;
That said stream is needed by many
people residing along its banks for use
| for domestic purposes and is pro-
| lection against fire to many residents
| in it's neighborhood and is about the
only stream of sufficient volume to
supply a fire engine with water in case
! a Indignation should occur in that
section of the city and its suburbs;
THAT we deny that this stream is
| in any manner whatever a menace to
| the health of it's vicinity or that 1t
binders or destroys proper drainage;
or that it is a breeding place for harm
| full insects or nralarial germs, or that
| the petitioners for vacation of the said
race have given one good reason why
the citv should vacate and abandon
/ one of the most essential features OF
the landscape in this part of the city,
and especially a stream tfat after
flowing past the grounds of the pc
titioners, flows through and beauti-
fies one of the public parks OF the
city.
therefore. your demonstrators pray
the city of Wal1a Walla and your hon
orable body to keep and protect the
said straem and if it be necessary to
clean out the same or guard its banks
for the protection of children that the
same be done without in any manner
destroying the stream or its value as
a landscape feature, or an item of use
and utility to the community border
ing its banks

WELCOME PLANNED
FOR PATHFINDER
One Hundred Automobiles Will Form
Cavalcade to Extend Greetings to
Car Breaking New York
Seattle Trail.

In order to welcome the Thomas
pathfinder car, which is due to arrive
in this city the latter part of this. or
the first of next week, in a fitting
manner it is being planned to form a
which will leave this city to take part
in a mammoth demonstration.
If present plans do not miscarry, a
meeting of the automobile association
will be held tomorrow night in the
rooms of the Commercial club when a
permanent organization will be per-
fected Coincident with the completion
of final rules and regulations for this
club, which is now but a temporary
one. plans for the welcoming of the
pathfinder car will be completed.
The committee on organization and
bylaws, consisting of w. w Baker,
B. c. Holt and T. A. Paul, have almost
completed the work of securing the
data necessary for the organization
upon which will be based the working
plan. and this will be presented to the
owners of machines present Thursday
evening. AS proposed at the meeting
held last month, when a temporary
organization was affected, an initia-
ton fee of IS per capita will be levied
upon each owner, this fee to be charg-
ed, if desired by the charter members,
after the first meeting.
AS Walla Walla will be the first
city in the northwest to give a demon
stration to the car from New York to
Seattle, owners of machines here are
DESTROYS of making the demonstration
one that will be remembered by the
pathfinder party. and one that will
count for much in an advertising way
for the city.
Plans which will be submitted to the
autoists of this city for their approval
include the sending of string of 100
automobiles from this city to Milton
to meet the pathfinder.

BREAD GOES UP
ONE CENT LOAF
Bakers Forget About the Penny Change
ard Send Bread a Notch Toward
Skies-Buns and Cookies Also
Elevated.

Beginning next Saturday, the price
of a loaf of bread will be raised to
six cents. this action having been
adopted as the result of a meeting of
the local bakers held last night With
flour costing $6 q barrel this move is
declared to be absolutely necessary on
the part of the bakers who further
announced that the price of cookies,
buns, etc, will also be raised five
cents on the dozen, or two dozen for
25 cents. The retail price hereafter,
beginning May l, is fixed at Is cents
dozen. When talking of this matter,
Charles Refer, speaking for the other
bakers, stated today that this action
was the result of deliberation and was
only decided upon when it was found
that with the price of -four so high
something had to be done to protect
them.
Then too continued Mr.. Refer,
the cost of delivery is one of our
largest items. Feed prices are high
and for every loaf of bread which we
deliver, We figure that it costs a cent
for just this purpose alone
The bakeries which have entered
into the agreement to raise the price
on bread are the Model bakery, the
City bakery and the Victoria bak-
cry.
Flour is now selling at an abnOr-
mally high price and though Sc is
considered the highest in this section
in years, it is yet below the price ex-
listing in the east and middle west,
where wholesale quotations are any
where from ST to SO per barrel. The
prediction has been made that the
price will yet go higher.

Petition Received.

"A petition Signed Dy II. -. 1SddcS
for the H. P. Isaacs company, was
presented asking that an assessment
district be created for the bulkhead-
ing of the north side of Mill creek
between Otis and Clinton streets, as
the improvement would mean the con-
fiscation of a strip of land 42x150 feet,
owned by the petitioner, lying just
west of Clinton street. The street
committee was given charge of the
communication
The petition of interested property
owners for a light at the intersec-
tons of University and Division
streets was referred to the street
lighting committee.
J. c. George petitioned for city wat
er on his lots in Walnut grove, at
the extreme east end of North Main
street, and also asked that some action
be taken looking to the prevention of

from the sewer flooded his yard on
an average of once a week, leaving
unsanitary sediment which endanger-
ed the health of people living in that
vicinity The communication was re-
ferred to the water committee.
