MAY NOT BE
A BIG NIGHT

Halloween in Walla Walla this
year promises to be a rather tame
and quiet affair for the small boy
who now mas visions of a big time
removing gates and carrying away
sidewalks will quite likely have an
afternoon that special patrolmen
steel bars, Jail corridors and the hall
of justice in the city capitol. Chief
Of Police Mike Davis announced this
afternoon that specila patrolmen
would be on duty Saturday night,
and that all offenders caught des
troying property are to be lodged in
the city jail and held there for ap-
pearance in Judge McKinney's court.
There has been no end of COM
paint on this score in past years"
said the chief. and | am going to
make an attempt to prevent any des-
truction of property this year. The
greatest damage in past years has
not been done by the small boys. as
everyone knows, and the patrolmen
this year will have positive instruc
tions to arrest all who are found des-
troying property. We will not how
ever, attempt to prevent the young
sters from indulging in their usual
harmless pranks.'
AS Halloween falls this year on
Sunday night. it is likely Saturday
will be observed by the goblins and
iack-o- lantern bearers. though the
blue-coats viii! be prepared to care
for the situation on both nights. 1t
is expected the college students will
turn out in force with some new and
unique jokes. and enliven the occa-
sion with some noisy demonstrations.
but the officers will be inclined to
overlook these innocent obServances
in keeping a sharp vigil for those who
may be inclined to let their Halloween
procivities turn toward the destruc-
tiOn of property.

FINE WORK
BY WOMEN
CITY PARK ATHEISTS
ENTERPRISE OF
LIVE" CLUB
From Wilderness to Beauty
Spot in Two Years by
Efforts of Women

Although the weekly band concerts
in the city park have been discontinued
owing to the probability of inclement
weather, the model recreation spot is
the gathering place each Sunday of
hundreds of Garden City residents
who have been unable during the week
to get out of town. Through the in
dustry of the Womans Park club in
carrying on an enthusiastic campaign
for funds with which to make i'm
provements in the park, those who
take pleasure in spending an afternoon
is the pretty tract are afforded oppor-
tunities almost on a par with those
enjoyed by residents of larger cities
of the west.
Those who are acquainted with the
remarkable growth of the city park,
and who have watched the wonderful
transformation worked in the period
of a few short years by the energetic
women, express surprise that the tract
that was all but barren two years ago
should have been converted into a
veritabe paradise, with practically all
departments fitted up for the greatest
convenience and enjoyment of those

spending their leisure moments there.
There We're those who predicted in
no uncertain terms that the tract set
aside for a park could never be made
what it is. today, and it remained for
the indomitable energy, thrift and
courage of members of the Woman's
Park club to work the change.
ChiIdren's Playground.
Hundreds of youngsters of the city
daily visit the park and enjoy the
equipment installed by the Park club
in the space set aside as to the chill
dren's playground. Swings, and re-
volving appliances are almost in con-
stant use after school hours. while the
slide for life is particularly popular
among the boys. Nothing has been
overlooked that might add to the pleas
ure of the young people, and almost
without exception the conduct of the
little ones is such as to cause the ben
efactors to feel Il glow of pride that
the department is so much appreciated.
By the erection of the fine 1920 band
stand the completion of the pergola,
and the installation OF two row boats
upon the lake, there are many ways in
which adults may while away their
leisure hours, and the rustic benches
located in cosy corners are quite gen.
orally occupied during daylight hours
The boats offer residents of the Garden
City form of amusement heretofore
almost unknown, and are daily in COM
mission. 1t is planned to secure other
boats in the spring, and by the addl-
tional craft more people may enjoy
the pastime than is at the present
time possible.
Not Yet Satisfied.
But while members of the Woman's
Park club have been instrumental in
carrying the good work through to
such a successful termination, they
feel that the movement has but start
ed, and that the work thus far done
has but served to show what may be
accomplished in the tract set aside Tor
park purposes. During the county

that autos are given to speeding in

for the benefit of Chief DAVIS that

driven so fast that the numbers could
not be read. After hearing the COM
