MANAGERS OF WALLA WALlA
VALLEY TRACTION COMPANY
SAY LINE WON'T PAY.
Activities Being Planned by Promot-
ers of Many Companies With
WalIa WaIla as Center.

Isaac Anderson, of Spokane, pres
ident of thte Northwest Corporation
of which the Walla Walla Traction
company is a portion, is expected to
arrive in the city within few days,
when some action will probably be
taken relative to the construction of
the proposed extension of the cleo
trio line along the Russell creek route
to the mountains. Thus far the pre-
liminary surveys have been made, and
it is understood some portions of the
right of way have been secured, but
as the promoters cannot see their
way clear to build the line without
bonus from the people directly bene-
fitted, there is still a doubt as to
whether the road will be built.
1--WE cannot count on even paying
our operating expenses for the first
three years. said Manager F. S. Drake
this morning, land if the line is built
at this time it is up to the families
in the foothills to produce the bonus
which will insure the construction of
the line''
The rumor which has been in cir
culation for several days past to the
effect that a line is to be built to
the Meadows, and that the right Of
way and hotel site had been secured,
cannot be verified. though railway
men look wise when theh subject is
preached Now that the announce
ment has been made that capitalists
propose to put through the Columbia
and Walla Walla line without delay,
it is thought the local company is
making quiet preparations to check
mate the move of Spokane and eastern
capitalists, and the coming season will
witness great activity in railway con-
struction work.
Three companies now interested in
the Walla Walla valley are thought
to be making silent preparations to
tap the fertile sections, the Walla
Walla Valley TRACTION Traction COM
pany, the Oregon Washington COM
pany and the Columbia Walla Walla
Traction company. Rumors are rife,
situation are reticent and it is not
probable that anything definite will
reaches the city.

WOULD STOP
THEIR PAY
CONTINUED From Page One.)

according to the opinion of the prose-
cutting attorney, and in order to Sc
cure payment for his services of last
month, it will be necessary for the
fruit inspector, C. L. Whitney to resort
to writ of mandamus proceedings.
At a meeting of the commissioners
in conjunction with members of the
city council yesterday afternoon, it
was decided that some steps looking to
fruit crop should be taken at once, and
with that end in view, it was agreed
that, with the appointment of two as
sistant inspectors, the council would at
once pass an ordinance licensing the
operators, of spraying outfits, and that
anyone not complying with the pro-
visions of the law relative to the solu-
ton desired to be used might be pun
ished by the revocation of the license
However, the following protest and
threat from Mr.. Struthers places every
one on their guard, and it is not known
just what action will be taken.

that if any payment or attempt to pay

uties appointed by said Whitney and
approved by your board is made that
an injunction will be served on you to
prevent said payment. You are also no
titled that if any bill for services
claimed to have been rendered by said
c. L. Whitney as fruit inspector, or
others. has been approved by the
board of commissioners, that an in

BRINGS A DESERTER
FROM NORTH YAKIMA
Runaway ArtiIIeryman Captured and
Turned in Here for Reward.

Officer Charles Parry, of North va
ina, arrived in the city this morning
in charge of Private Lakin, of the
62nd Coast Artillery, who deserted
from Fort Worden February IT,. 1909,
and was picked up in Yakima. AS
the instructions are to turn deserters
over to commanding officers at the
nearest military post, Mr.. Parry
brought Lakin to Fort Walla Walla,
where he was given into the care of
the commandant, and is awaiting a
hearing. The return of deserters from
the army brings a reward of IS from
the war department, and Mr.. Parry's
trip to Walla Walla will prove more
profitable than pleasant.

Another gift of unusual value and
interest has just been received from
a resident of the city and an active
member of the board itself, being a
complete set of the Hubert Howe Ran
croft histories, thirty-nine volumes
bound in sheep. This set was sold bv
subscription only, when published for
five dollars per volume The material
from which these histories were writ
ten comprises what is known as The
Bancroft Library, practically the only
library of a public character in San
Francisco that was not DESTROYED in
the fire there is 1906. 1t has since been
acquired by the University of Califor-
MIA at a cost of nearly a quarter mil
lion dollars and is now kept at Berke-
ley, California. 1t is recognized by
historical students as one of the finest
historical collections in the world re-
lating to certain sections, particularly
California and Mexico, but also Alaska
and Russia. There are said to be more
books and manuscripts relating to the
history of Russia in the Bancroft libra
ry than there are in ST. Petersburg.
This gift was to have been presented
at Christmas but for the absence from
the city at that time of the donor, who
is Supt. o. S. Jones.

WaIIa WaIla MAY Get Race.

Local motorists are considerably in
terested over the announcement that
the proposed route of the International
Auto Endurance Race from New York
to Seattle to be held this summer,
touches Walla Walla. J. T. Roland
superior judge and president of Seat
tie Automobile club has written to the
Commercial club for information re-
garding the various highways center
ing at Walla Walla.
The race will be entered by at least
20 cars driven by both Americans
and foreigners. and Mr.. Roland is au-
thority for the statement that the run
on the condition of the road entering
mean the establishment of national
highway to be improved by the gov
eminent. This statement is probably
made in consequence of the fact that
the New York to Paris race establish
ed a national highway to Granger
Colorado or the point at which the
cars took different routes.
Judge Roland says in his letter the
racers do. not expect a boulevard u
run over but want a fairly good road

WALLA WALLA IS A
VALIDATING POINT
Efforts of Commercial Club Are Sue
cessfuI In Getting Railroad Ruling
for the Garden City.


Walla Walla is now a validating point
for the Union Pacific and O. R. & N.
systems. 1t has been made such
through the efforts of the Commercial
club working in conjunction with the
local office of the o. r. & N. 1t means
much to the eastern tourists who wish
to visit Walla Walla, but do not wish
to tourney to some point on the coast
before returning east. Heretofore, the
railroad ruling has been that tickets
bought in the east could not be pur-
chased only to Walla Walla, but the
destination would have to be some
noint on the coast, at least the passen-
ger would be obliged to go to Portland,
Tacoma, or Seattle before returning in
order to have their ticket validated.
This worked a hardship on great
MANY who did not care to go to the
coast. 1t was because a number OF
these examples were brought to the at
tentson of the Commercial club that
tho matter was taken up through the
nroper channels more than a year and
n half ago to have this unnecessary
feature eliminated, and their efforts
have Just been successful.
ON the Northern Pacific, Pasco and
Snokane are the validating points
which has been convenience to the
