Fight Off
In Cities
Of State

The cup that cheers" will flow for
many a day yet in Walla Walla-ln
fact the 'prohis'' are going to leave
the city alone for the present, accord
ing to Rev. William j. Herwig, for
five years superintendent of the Spo-
kane district of the Washington State
Anti-Saloon league and recently as
sistant state superintendent of the
league with headquarters at Seattle
Rev Herwig, who is an anti-saloon-
list of the fighting type, is visiting old
friends in Spokane before going to
Boise, Idaho, to take up the state su-
perintendency of the Anti-SalOon
league there.
THE defeats OF the prohibitionists
at Walla Walla and North Yakima
show that for many years yet it will
be impossible to sway the larger cities
in line, and the Washington Anti
Saloon league will make no attempt ON
Spokane for some time" said Rev
Mr.. Herwig, recently.
LAS a matter of fact the Anti Saloon
league advised against trying to win
at the Walla yZalla and North Yaki-
ma elections. but the local proh1bi-
tionists were for putting it to vote
at once, with the results seem PrOhi-

yet in the northwest where it can win
out in the big cities, and the leagues
in this section of the country are not
trying to close the saloons in Spo-
kane, Seattle and Tacoma-not yet,
but in five years the time will be ripe"
Prospects Good In Idaho. :
Rev. Herwig has high hopes of see
ing the entire state of Idaho go dry
within a short time, because as he
says, the women vote there and there
are no large cities.
Il have assisted in putting 800 sa-
looms out of business in not such a
very long time" continued the doctor.

operating with the movement, but
now 80 per cent are. / will reorganize
the Idaho league and hope to see the
entire state dry soon. Ten out Of IL
counties there which voted on the 10
cal option question lately went dry
"The biggest city in Washington to
go dry is Puyallup, near Tacoma, with
a population of 500 and Wenatchee
with a population of 800. is next in
size to go dry"

At recent mass meeting held in
Touchet the citizens of that section
of Walla Walla Valley took over the
lines of the Pacific Telephone company
and have organized an Independent
company of their own. The new COM
pany is to be known as the Touchet
Central Telephone company and
there are already rs subscribers. The
company has made arrangements with
the local company for long distance
connections at a reduced rate and
prospects are most bright for a mutual
telephone company in the western end
Of the valley. AT cost of about $500
the Touchet Supply company and day
and night service will be offered. IL
is thought the stockholders, besides
giving the community a long needed
first class service, win be pble to make
the venture a paying one. Each sub
scriber is required to buy their own
telephone and wire and pay for the
installing. The cost to stockholders
now is IS per year and subscribers So
but as soon as the switchboard and
other central equippage is paid for the
stockholders will receive service for
SO per year The enterprizing citizens
back of the move are enthusiastic in
the venture ard the list of subscribers
promises to double within the next
few months

Hundred Million
Miles Away Says
Weather Observer

John Grover, astronomer and wealth
err observer, is skeptical about the COM
ct seen Saturday night low down in
the west.
Don't spend your time at night
looking for Halley's comet. Wait
a while. It's just about $1O0,000,O0o
miles beyond the vision of the naked
eye," says he.
II do not expect to locate it with
my telescope for two weeks yet.
think it is within reach of our tense,
but it will be there for some time and
there are a few things in the western
sky Just now that are of scientific in
terests and they won't wait. Halley's
comet will be more visible the longer
we watt
Mr. Grover has his doubts about
Comet A of 191O,' reported from
Flagstaff, Arizona 1T has only been
located so far by a 14-inch and one
finch telescope" he says.
1.-The sky is full of nebulae that are
easily mistaken for comets and l can't
scientifically deny or cOrroborate. It's
appearance There are a lot of scien-
tific reports coming in now within
few days that will give me some data
and then I may be able to take look
at the called comet and tell more
about it.
Its pretty easy for somebody to
fake up a few statements about Ion
gitude and latitude and degrees of ele-
walton for an imaginary object be-
fore scientific observers CAN check
them up. So far it's location has been
determined as being in a different
quarter from Halley's comet. Also
Halley's comet has been seen by the
larger telescopes all over the country
and we know right where to look fo-'
it,"

Visible Half an Hour.

peared to the naked eye about hal
the magnitude of Venus and was visi-
BILE for a half hour between 6 and Z
o'clock. The observers calls 1T new
comet and everybody posted on celes-
tial affairs seems to be mystified by
the latest visitor

new comet, if it is not Ha1ley's ought
to be in sight again tonight unless the
sky is cloudy.

COUNCIL MADE NO APPOINTMENTS
Much Interest in the Meeting but Adjournment was Taken Until Thursday Evening After Regular, Busi- ness had been Acted Upon-Democrats Still Di- vided but there Hopes for a Compromise.

Waiting as eagerly as if for presi- dential election returns, about 75 gathered in the spectators section of the council chamber on Monday eve ming for the adjourned meeting of the council, at which all the members were present, and Mayor Thayer pre- sided. As only routine business was transacted there was much disappoint- ment among the onlookers who had anticipated some excitement in the appointment of city officials, from the fact that it had been reported that the democratic members are still di vided as to who will fill the offices. Councilman Lang, it is said. is holding out against the other six, but it was intimated that some compromise would be effected and matters strengthened out before the next meeting, June 30, In order to get any appointments some such action is necessary on the part of the democrats as the republicans are united and the democrats need all their own votes to win
 The reading of the journal was omit ted by unanimous consent and these petitions were read and referred to the executive committed:
 For bug light in River avenue, in front of the J. D. Park place, asked for by H. A. Wulf and others.

 For two bug lights in Carter ave- nue, asked for by c. w. Anderson and others.

 Reports Made.
 In behalf of the executive commit tee Mayor Thayer reported on several matters which had been referred to the committee.
 It was found that Palmer avenue, wherein J. H. Lee asked for the plac- i,,o of 0 c a street, and the petitioner was given leave to withdraw.
 The petition of Wulf Blinderman that he be given work on the dump
 The petition of Edward Kirby for an arc light in Union street was reported favorably and the light ordered the Thomas Nevins estate was favor ably reported and he will be allowed to connect the premises with the North Cliff street sewer.
 ' J. L. Mitchell was given permission to connect his property at the corner of Chestnut and Willow streets, where a garage is being erected, with the public sewer in Chestnut street. and the agreement was ordered placed on record.
 The committee reported that it had investigated the civil service commits sion asked for by F. w. Cary and oth-g CTS, and it was considered it should be referred to the new committee to be named to frame new charter.
 Councilman Woodwork thought 1t would be some time before new charter would go into effect and want ed to know if an ordinance could not be made so that it would become eff fective under the present charter and be applicable to the city officers by next year, anyway.
