LUNCHEON
A SUCCESS
Second Commercial Club
Gathering Bigger Than
Before.
DEAN HENDRICK
MAKES ADDRESS
Weather Observer Gives In
teresting Statistics on
Local Climate.

F'ifty-five of the leading business
men of the city gathered in the
Dacres grill at noon today for the
second weekly Commercial club lunch
the long tables especially for the oc-
casion to accommodate those VINO de-
sired to attend. President Fred w.
Kaser, of the Commercial club, pre-
sided, and snort talks were made by a
number of enthusiasts on the publicity
movement.
Dean A. W. Hendrick, of Whitman
college, congratulated members of the
club and business men of the city upon
their action in giving the weekly
luncheons at which the business in
terests represented might get in
closer touch for the upbuilding and the
progress of the city's best interests.
Weather Observer John Grover pro-
duced statistics showing that the
Walla Walla valley is favored with
better climatic conditions than are
prevalent even in California, where the
climate is the strong advertising card
presented to fasteners and home-seek-
ers from less favored sections. That
Walla Wallans speak disparagingly of
the conditions here, Mr.. Grover said
was a too frequent occurrence, when as
a matter of fact, this section OF the
state enjoys more favorable climatic
conditions than any other section of
the country. Mr.. Grover read .statis-
tics proving his statements, and they
will be incorporated into the literature
to be secured for publicity purposes
by the Commercial club.
Dr. w. E. Russell, who has but re-
Gently returned from an extended visit
throughout the east, in telling Of the
effects of the publicity movement, said
that it was not so long ago that the
Walla Wsalla country was practically
unknown to fasteners and that queer
questions were frequently asked rela-
tive to the west. Now, however, DR..
Russell says that nearly everyone in
| the eastern states has knowledge Of
this section, and are anxious to learn
more of the resources and advantages
