Not only are Walla Walla's stre2ts
to be the subject of comment by visi
tors to the city, but sidewalks as well
are to be given attention, and if the
ordinance introduced at last nights
meeting of the council and fathered
by the street committee, is given final
passage, it will be but a comparatively
short time until all walks will be of
stone or concrete. The measure was
given first reading last night, and was
on motion of Councilman C. H. White
man. placed before the Judiciary com
mittee.
Following is the ordinance:
Section 1. Hereafter it shall be un
lawful to build, construct, replace or
renew any sidewalk in the city of
Walla Walla with any other material
than stone or concrete in accordance
with the specifications adopted there
for by the city council.
Section 2. 1t shall be lawful to
repair wooden sidewalks now in place
and in use to the extent of replacing
such foot boards as may be worn out
or broken, but whenever any such
sidewalk shall be so far out of repair
as to require the replacing of 20 per
cent or more of the foot boards, one or
more support timbers or the renewal
of such sidewalk, it shall be unlawful
to repair the same with wo61 or lum-
Der, and such sidewalk shall be re-
placsd by stone or concrete side
walk as herein provided.
Section 8. All sidewalks hereinl-
after constructed, whether in renewal
the city of Walla Walla and outside
of the district particularly described
in ordinance No. SO4 as amended by
ordinance No. 923, shall not be less
than five feet wide; provided that
whenever a sidewalk five feet wide
shall be constructed, it shall be sa
laid that the outer edge thereof shall
be six feet from the property line, and
the space between the property line
and the sidewalk shall be filled with
earth or gravel and brought to the es-
tablished grade.
SEQ ton A. All sidewalks shall be
laid ON the true grade which shall be
furnished upon application by the city
surveyor.
Section 5. Whenever it shall be
necessary or desirable to construct, re-
place or renew any sidewalk on any
street or streets for a distance of 800
feet or more, whether the same be
continuous or not, an assessment dis
trict may be created to pay therefore,
including therein all abutting property
benefited by such sidewalk, as in the
case of other local improvements.
Section g. Any person, whether
owner tenant, agent, contractor or
employee, violating any of the provi-
sions of this ordinance shall be deemed
guilty of a misdepeanor and fined
in any sum not less than $25 nor more
than $100."
The ordinance provides for the re-
peal of ordinances No. $50. 1882, and
1893, which are in conflict.

Sues for Divorce.

Saying that she has been cursed
and treated in an insufferable manner
since being married, suit for divorce
was filed in the superior court this

is believed to be backed by the Harri-
man interests. The Northern Pacific
is also active in the Lewiston district
and there is keen rivalry between the
Hill and Hartman engineers now in
the field for desirable territory.
Should the Chicago & Northwestern
enter this territory it will be by way
of Lolo pass, which is the most feasf-
BILE route known across the Bitter
Root mountains. Since the North
western has close traffic relations with
the Union Pacific it is believed that
the Hartman interests would favor an
extension of the former by way of the
northern route, thus cutting into the
Hill territory. rather than through
southern Idaho, which is conceded TO
be the Union Pacific's exclusive pre-
serve.
There are also battles in central
Washington and western Montana,
where engineering corps in the employ
of the Harrin1ans and the Hills are
working with might and main to
checkmate each other for favored ter
ritory, which, with the settlement and
development of the country, will az
ford enormous tonnage The struggle
for supremacy may well be termed IL
tanic in its proportions, since it will
mean added territory and millions OF
dollars annually for the promoters
and supporters of these immense en-
terprises.

FLAGSTAFF ELKS TO HAVE A
PULLMAN

The Elks Of the Flagstaff lodge
have engaged a special Pullman car
for their trip to the big convention
at Los Angeles. The car will be at
tached to the first west-bound pas
senger train next Saturday morning.
The Flagstaff Elks should also en-
gage a special baggage car to haul
the souvenirs Of Flagstaff which they
have accumulated TO distribute in Los
Angeles among the eastern brethren.
As a result Of this enterprise on the
part Of the Flagstaff Elks, it is ex-
pected that many of the eastern Elks
will stop over in Flagstaff on their
return home. and that many who
cannot stop here viii at least have
learned that there is such a place as
Flagstaff on the map, and that it is
"a mile and a quarter high"
