aize that we nave reached point in
the growth of the city of Walla WaIa
wherein we should begin to give our
streets something of that appearance
which respectable, cities demand? The
farmer. the merchant, thu property
owner and the individual citizen are
equally interested in aiding in the
growth Of the city and surrounding
country. The citizens of Walla Walla
have just raised $4,000 for a publicity
fund to be used in advertising the
Walla Walla valley. This has been
done through the efforts of the Com
mercal club, which is preparing to use
this fund, not alone in the interest OF
the city, but quite as fully in the in
terest Of the surrounding country. We
are just on the eve of realizing the
benefits that are to come with the
building Of a Greater Whitman.
We are advertising our city as
city Of homes, of the best of schools, OF
an ideal climate Would it not be well
for US to insist that the appearance OF
our streets should keep pace with these
representations? All Of these matters
rest with our citizens. Will they
choose that We shall remain in ap-
pearance a village, or will they rise &c
realization that we are entitled tC
expect that our ambitious hopes OF q
greater Walla Walla are about to be
realized?

aroused at the sight Of soldiers and pos

a simple case of the chauffeur getting

Is that the car which had been standing
docile at one side, without warning plunged
into the lines Of some 500 troopers, which
broke in CONSERVATION. During the few

down or ran over several score soldiers

England have built a number of armored

The ancients set much store by their war
chariots, some Of which were provided with
great scythes, sharp as razors, which pro-

a battery of these led a charge they liter

until the last mar fell; but the awful, ir-
reslstible panic Of a wild and enraged

In explanation It is offered that the ac-
ton Of the troopers were Involuntary. like
the closing Of ones eye to danger; that the
habit OF leaping and breaking away on
the approach Of a car had become so fixed
as to be practically automatic. The aver

STATE GOT A WAD OF SCADS
TAX COLLECTOR MADE CITY AND
CARNIVAL COMPANY PLANK
DOWN Alb PLUNKS.

Tax Collector Sam Bowman ex-
ploded a bomb in carnival and city
council ranks by demanding that
they pay the state $413 for showing
in Dawson last week.
In the agreement between the
council and the carnival people the
city contracted to pay all taxes that
was required by the state for as
many as twelve shows, which had
ranged from $50 to $50 in Bruins
wick, Albany, Fitzgerald, Americas
and other towns, and Tax Collector
Bowman's demand for upward of
$4O0 was a broadside that was
wholly unexpected and caused con-
siderable CONSERVATION.
In other towns the tax was paid
upon the combined show as one car
nival company, while in Dawson a
tax on each tent as a separate show
was demanded.
The tax collector insisted that he
was right, and the matter was finally
ended by the council and the carni-
val company dividing the tax equally
between them, each paying $206.5O.
The money was paid over Saturday
morning, and the depleted condition
of the states money box was re-
lieved to that extent.
