4 CLOSING
ORDINANCE
City Council Passes Most
Stringent Sunday
Lid Law Now.
EVERYTHING MUST
BE CLOSED TIGHT
Children Can No Longer
Go to Stores for
Groceries.

UNION, Oregon, March IL Mayor
Law, aided by the w. C. T. T., last
night succeeded at a special meeting
of the council in securing the passage
of Sunday closing ordinance. Per-
sons under p years of age will not be
allowed to enter a store where tobac-
co is sold and if the ordinance is en-
forced it will be unlawful to send
children for groceries as stores sell
tobacco.
Under the ordinance, ice cream, soft
drink parlos, places of business other
than drug stores, bakeries, hotels, liv-
cry stables and undertakers are re-
Quired to close. No argument was
made against the measure, which was
passed by a two thirds majority. It
is now up to the mayor to sign. 1t
is understood that places of business
will defy the ordinance next Sunday.
After the council meeting some one
went to the Store of Councilman Nc
Intosh and emptied several gallons OF
coal oil into the streets from the bar
rels in front of his place. 1t is sup
posed somer miscreant sought this
means for revenge because Mcintosh
voted for the ordinance.

WALLA WHLLH TO
CELEBRATE FOURTH
OF JULY FITTlNGLY

] Walla some time in June, and loca
members Of the order are now making
efforts to have the itinerary of the
illustrious Mason arranged to include
a brief soiourn mere.
The news that the grand commander
may visit this ci.y. is the cause OF
great satisfaction among local Ma
sons, and while on the coast Mr.. Rich.
ardson will visit many of the larger
cities and will be present at the next
semi annual reunion of the Scottish
Rite bodies of Free Masonry to be held
in Portland, May 25. On his return
Mr.. Richardson will stop off in Spo-
kane, and from there an effort will be
made to bring him to Walla Waila.
Information has been received here,
though unofffcially, that Ernest r.
Hussey of Seattle, sovereign grand
inspector genera, will arrive in the
city in company with the grand COM
mander, and extensive preparations
are being made to have a large class
of Masons receive the higher degrees
at the time of the visit of the hign
Mason ptrsonages.
Grand commander Richardson has
a long and illustrious Masonic history,
being a past grand master of che
grand lodge of Tennessee. He has had
also q brilliant political career. he
ing formerly democratic leader on the
floor of the house while in congress
from Tennessee.
In case Mr. Richardson cannot be
induced to include Walla Walla in his
itinerary. it is probable that a large
class of Masons will go to the Fans
City to meet him.

ENGINEER PEIGHT
is BADLY INJURED
Jumps From Cab In Pasco and Sus.
tans Painful Fracture of Thigh
Otherwise Bruised.

PASCO, Wash, March 16.-(SpeciaL)
Just as Northern Pacific freight en-
gine No. 1887 was pulling into the
yards about o'clock this morning, a
frog sprang in such manner as to
cause the engine to leave the track.
Engineer A. r. Peight jumped from
the cab and sustained badly fractured
thigh and some minor bruises. DR..
Driscool was summoned and reduced
the fracture and sent him to the COM
pany's hospital at Tacoma. The fire
man stuck to his post and was not
injured.
While the nose of the engine was
buried in the cinders several feet,
it was not badly damaged. The freight
cars that the engine was pulling did
not leave the track.

the subject will probably not be con-
sldered until the new officials have
vailing sentiment a. this time favors
a big demonstration on the nations
birthday, and with the publicity spirit
back of the move it is considered GER
tain that the event would be the big
gest of it's kind ever attempted in the
state.
Eariy action is desired, in order that
W. J. Bryan may be secured to deliver
the oration on the big OCCASION with
the qualification of the new officials
of the Commerciap club, one OF the
first subjects to be considered will be
that of a Walla Walla celebration.
The fact that the Fourth was fittingly
observed here last year is stimulating
the movement to repeat the perform
ance on bigger scale this year, busi-
ness men being of the opinion tha. the
Garden City has reached that stage
where a celebration every year should
be a permanent event.
AS yet no canvass of the merchants
has been made, but from the discus
sion of the subject already INDUCED
in, it is assumed by The advocates or
the demonstration that there would be
little, if any, objection to the plan. And
the big card, if he can be induced to
visit the Garden City of the west, will
be William Jennings Bryan.

Walla Walla
RAILROAD SITUATION
GETS INTERESTING
Four Co1nered Fight For
Trade of Southeastern
Washington.

Considerable speculation is being in
duiged in as to the Importance to be
attached to the proposed visit of Pres
ldent Howard Elliott. of the Northern
Pacific railroad, to this city within the
next few days, and those interested in
railroad movements are wondering
whether battle royal is not being ar
ranged on the dope sheet, with the
Wa Ia Walla valley as the objective
point. Although local officials of the
Northern Pacific road have received
no formal notification of President
Eliiott's visit to this city, it is now
known that the railway DEVELOPMENTS
in this state have become so strenuous
that he feels called upon to pitch into
The fray to engineer operations.
One of the important considerations
which is being dwelt upon by the head
officials of the Hill lines, is the plan
of building connection with the North
Bank and the Great Northern on the
east bank of the Columbia from PAS
co TO Adrian, which win tap a rich ag-
ricultural territory and be a new feeder
for the Portland market at a water
grade
Another important proposition is the
announcement by President Earring. of
the Milwaukee, that his road would
build whole network of laterals
through competitive Hill and Harri-
man territory. The Milwaukee has al
ready stolen a march on the Hill peo-
pie by making surveys and acquiring
prior rights of the Priest Rapids rail-
way through Hanford and Richland.

WILLIAM j E. MN GS
BRYAN WILL BE IN
VITED TO CITY
Commercial Club Is Making
Preparations for the Big
gest Time Yet.

AS one of the steps in Walla Walla's
Dig publicity campaign, members of
the Commercial club are now advocat-
ing a big celebration of the Fourth of
July, and the question will be brought
before the trustees of that organiza-
ton following the annual election of
officers. AS one of the big drawing
cards, it is planned to tender William
Jennings Bryan an invitation to de
liver the grafton, and, in case the silver
tongued orator accepts the call, ar
rangements will be Immediately made
to defray the expenses of his trip west
and make the jaunt an object to him.
Now that the publicity bug has be-
come imbedded in the Walla Walla
soil, there is no extreme to which the
boosters will not go. and even though
William Jennings did not succeed in
falling into the big chair at the White
House, he is looked upon as. the big
gest drawing card that could be Sc
cured in this country, and would bring
people from all parts of the state. IT is
thought the business men of the city
and members of the Commercial club
will respond literally to the PROPOSE
ton, and if members of the club feel
that big celebration in Walla Walla
this year is called for, it is prob
able that immediate action will. be-
taken.
However, as members of the board
of trustees of the club who now hold
positions, may be retired at the an
nual election of officers next month,

PAST TWO
READINGS
City Council Considers New
Law Recommended by
DR.. Fales.
HEALTH OFFICER
HAS MORE POWER
Proposed Legislation Now
Rests With Judiciary
Committee.

The after-clap of the controversy,
between the physicians of the city and
| the city health officer, an ordinance
introduced by the health committee,
under whose instructions it was draft
ed by the city attorney. providing
for the amendment of sections 5. o,
II, Il, IS, 10, %, 26 and 2S Of the
ordinance No. 1853. was given first and
second readings at the meeting of the
city council last night, and was then
referred to the judiciary committee.
Ordinance No. 1853, which was pass
ed several years ago, is entitled, IAN
ordinance to provide for the protec-
ton and preservation of the public
health, to provide for the prevention
and spread of contagious diseases, and
prescribing rules and regulations for
the board of health of the city of
Walla Walla, and providing penalties
for the violation thereof, and repeal
ing all ordinances and parts of or
dinances in violation"
By the amendments contained in the
ordinance introduced last night the
health officer is given complete con-
troll of the regulations for the eradi-
cation of infectious diseases and is
able, under it's provisions, to control
the city schools.
The necessity of amendments to the
h.alth ordinance was felt in the re-
cent controversy, on one side being
the health officer and the medical fra
ternity of the city being allied in op-
position. The weak spots of the
measure were quickly found and as
the health officer was not granted
that authority which was deemed pro-
per, the amendments were drafted by
the city attorney, under advices from
the health committee and the health
officer
Following are the various amend
ments contained in the new ordinance
which will be given passage after the
members Of the Judiciary committee
have investigated the technicalities IN
volved by it's adoption:

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Repre-
sentative Serene Payne, chairman of
the ways and means committee today

containing 100000 words. The bin rep
resents the judgment of the committee

mony, $4,000 letters and all the known
statistics on the subject. The estimat-
ed revenue under the duties prescrib-
ed will be $3OO,0OO,OOO.
The bill authorizes the issuance OF

tariff is reduced so per cent; coal and
agricultural implements are on a re-
"iproc2., basis. The tariff on woods,
first and second class, are unchanged;
hides are admitted free and shoes arc
reduced 20 per cent
Payne explained the bill fully and
said the maximum rates applied to
countries discriminating against the
United States, or not giving the United
States rates as favorable as they give
to other nations He said this section
was seif-acting, making it the duty of
the president TO collect duties in ac-
cordance with the terms of the bill
leaving it open for courts to decide
upon the legality of such action. He
said:
we have a large deficit but reve-
nueS under the present system are i'm

tiCns become better. The last normal
year for imports was fiscal year end

duction of five cents per hundred
pounds on refined sugar is provided and

Fresh Pineapples.
Paragraph PCS OF the Dingley Act provides
a duty Of cents per cubic foot ON pine.
apples in packages and 81 per thousand III
bulk. The rate per cubic foot was supposed
to be the equivalent OF the bulk rate; in
practice 1t has proven to be one-third less
than the bulk rate. The result is that near
ly all the fresh pineapples imported come
in packages, and pay only nominal duty
of about mills each.
Nearly 1,00O,UUO crates OF pineapples were
imported from Cuba alone this past year.
The cost per ton OF producing fresh pine
apples in Hawaii is a little more than double
the cost In Cuba and the West Indies; the
cost in Florida is three times that OF the
foreign producer.
These fresh pineapples from Cuba and the
West Indies, coming in under the present
insufficient duties, not only crowd out the
fresh fruit from Florida and Hawaii, but
also will tend to drive out the canned pine.
apple of domestic origin. In other words
the insufficient duty on the fresh fruit will
make Ineffective the higher duty on canned
pineapple.
With reasonable protection Hawaii and
Florida can supply the United States with
fresh pineapples of a quality admitted SUI
peror to the imported fruit
For the above reasons we ask that the
