IN TIN BANK.

would not have given it to her. The

this object in mind the bank was ac-
cepted.
1t was said this morning by the Ben
sons that a long history was connect
ed with this gift, but they said they
could not give out the information as
it would hurt innocent people. The
money found has been placed in safe
keeping for the proper owner, however,
and will be kept there until he or she
is located.
That this relic has seen some stir
ring times was assured by Mrs Ben
Statesman representative that it had
been all over the country and had been
mixed in many things. When the own
er is discovered full account Of the
bank will be given out and until that
time, the finders of this sum will use
every means in their power to discover
the rightful owner

WALLA WALLA DAY.

Just one week from today will be
Walla Walla day at the Alaska Yukon-
Pacific exposition in Seattle. Fifteen
hundred people are expected to help let
fasteners and other visitors at the
fair know that there is such a place as
Walla Walla on the map and tht it is
a real live place, too Fifteen hundred
people can go and should go.
1t should be matter OF pride to
Walla Wallans to make a good APP
pearance at the exposition. Every other
city in the northwest, when the days
allotted to those cities came around,
was there in force, and made demon
stration. Whlla Walla is fortunate in
having her day in the fall, nearer the
end of the exposition and while the
attendance is at its height. 1t is now
UP to the citizens of this place to let
outsiders know Walla Walla is alive.
In the campaign for publicity, the To-
cal people have responded generous
ly. Everyone is proud of the showing
Walla Walla has made this summer. At
the irrigation congress, with the lit
erature sent out, and With the sign and
guide boards, as we'll as with the nift-
lest slogan in the whole country, Walla
Walla has made a hit. If we believe
no fol ho
been the biggest hit of the year But
this is no time to rest on the laurels
already won.
For that reason, it is now up to the
people here to contribute their pres
ence, where before they have contribu-
ted money, to help Walla Walla out. A
good showing at Seattle is essential at
this time and is a necessary link in
the publicity chan that is being forged
to draw Walla Walla from the slough
of inertia into which she has sunk in
years past.
The trip can be made with little loss
of time, and will cost but little money.
A special train in two sections, Will
take the people from tbs city and that
alone will be a good advertisement. 1t
will be a daylight trip, and will give
people who have never been over the
road an idea of the country between
here and the coast. For those who
have already made the trip, it is a
novel experience in most cases, to take
the trip by daylight.
Above ALL the trip should not be
viewed in an entirely selfish light.
Hundreds of people from Walla Walla
went to see the fleet a year ago. The
trip offered now is as full of interest
as that and has the added incentive of
being of value to the city which needs
your help.
Are you going?

1t Is to Laugh.

Some of those connected with the
rag down the street are spending
wonderful things have been accom-
plished since the contest opened, but
of salt by those who have paid any
attention whatever to the shady work
of the promoters thousands of peo-
pie are interested and watching the
gain of their favorites," writes the
bunc manager That perhaps is quite
true, but the bunc manager is slightly
misleading. Had it not been for the
expose made by The Statesman when
the shin-dig was sprung it is more
than likely that the thousands would
not have been so intent in looking for
the many discrepancies that have crop
ped out in connection with the fiasco
1t would seem that the bunc crowd
would take a tumble but nothing like
that has been recorded. Day after
day the bunc manager, the Northwest
ern Circulation company representa-
tives, and Uncle" have gone boldly
forward in the hopeless attempt to de-
ceive readers of the rag. and as a re-
suit of the braZen effrontery SO dis
played, the sheet has fallen many
notches from the low plane it original
ly occupied.
During the weeks that the so-called
contest has been in progress. there
have been few contestants" to be
found making an active campaign, and
in the main, Walla Walla homes have
bic for subscriptions that the bunc
manager would have people believe is
under way AS a last resort to secure
a few new names, the managers of the
contest have announced that old or
new subscribers to the weekly edi-
ton will be credited with as many
votes as are given for the daily issue
That alone shows to what dire straits

public learns to forget the mistakes of
the past.

HOW SMALL INVESTORS

Officers of tho Manufacturers as

investors with small amounts Of capital

money in small manufacturing plants

these conditions the outcome is obvious
