FEALTY TO THE CITY.

There is that in the aiding of the
building up of the city of ones ma
tivity or adoption that appeals to most
men. Often the feeling is curbed by
the lack of cooperative action, oftener
efforts are misdirected while yet
oftener there is a unity of action that
serves to bring the city to the front
if there is any foundation, as repre-
sented by location or natural re-
sources, on which to build. And oc-
casionally so great is this unity of
action that a large city is built and
maintained against great odds.
The city that never does anything
in the way of public advancement is
on the way to the cemetery of dead
hopes, the citizens who sit back and
refuse to aid in this advancement are
digging the grave, and the man who
has no time to be interested in any
move which Is for the welfare of his
city is furnishing its Shroud. The
mourner is the man Of blasted hopes
who has given of his time and funds
in a vain effort to revive the life
of the city and to make it grow.
Walla Walla has the foundation for
a great growth. Lack of unity of
effort in the past has held her back.
Now is the period of her new birth
There are to be no grave diggers and
no mourners. There is to be no
funeral. The city is alive and always
will be- The pull forward is becoming
more and more united and the citi-
zens of Walla Walla realize that they
must hustle or dig a grave, and no
grave is to be dug for Walla Wallas
Get busy, don't sing a dirge.

as the Jew character is hard to beat.
He is also good as the broken down

Billy Elwood, the artist, is the win

preciated by the audience for his fast
and clever work. He has little one

be said that the vehicle is rather weak
and wobbly 1t would be better left
out. But Elwood is first class. His
drawings are excellent and are put up
in rapid fire style. He also illustrates
a song while it is being sung, and the
picture drawn there is the best of the
bunch. AS to the song-We will draw

FOR TOURIST RESORT
AT MT. BAKER PARK
Bellingham Commercial Club Will Ask
Secretary Ballinger to Provide
Government Road.

tBELLINGHAM, July 21.-Before he
leaves Seattle, Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger will be asked to give his aid
to plan for establishing a national
park in the government forest reserve
on Mount Baker. The object of this
plan, which was launched at a meeting
of the Young Mems Commercial club,
is to make a tourist resort of Mount
Baker and to secure a route for auto
mobiles to the timber line. The gov
eminent will be asked to build a road
from some point in the foothills already
accessible. E. w. Purdy, a prominent
banker of the city, is the father of the
idea.

REGULATING THE TRUSTS.

Aside from the objection against tn.
Capitalization of power which Attor-
ney General Wickersham admits will
be urged by many persons to his plan
to control the monopolistic trusts, by
the passage of a law by congress au-
corporations engaged in interstate
commerce, such an arrangement would
ity between the states and the federal
government, almost interminable liti-
CATION and endless confusion on account
of the efforts of the corporations to
find out where they stood. The chances
are they would find that they stood
between the upper and neither mill
stones of federal supervision and
state conrol, which would cerainly
be excited in regard to Interstate
business. Thus a situation would be
created which would in the long run
become intolerable alike to the COR
porations and to the public. Even
federal incorporation could not di
vest the states of a certain amount
Of authority over such corporations,
and the traditional jealousy which
the states, North and South, have al
ways displayed regarding federal en-
croachment upon their rights, would
lead to continual pulling ana hauling
between the two sources of authority.
There is a wise maxim which says
that no man can serve two masters,
and a corporation is no better than
a man in that respect.
Mr. Understands other club for
the regulation of corporations, tfat
is, that the states should bar corpora
tions from doing business within
their borders which have so per cent
or more of their stock in the hands
of a holding company, is no better
than the federal plan.
The fact is, and the politicians
seem unable to realize it, holding
companies, trusts and other great
combinations of capital and labor
are the inevitable results of eco
nomic conditions They are the
natural fruit of the law of evolution
in progressive development, born of the
necessities of modern industrial pro-

Although the county clerks Office

anglers licenses less than a single
month the number OF licenses taken
out by devotees Of the rod and reel
already exceeds nearly two to one the
number issued to hunters during the

record shows 80 anglers licenses as
