held in check by that legal fiction
ordained perhaps, for the general
good, that, without regard to matur-
ity of years, a city cannot know its
mind until it. numbers 10000
However, as all things come TO
those who wait, Walla Walla is now
about to be freed from the limita-
tions of her numerical youth and to
step out into all of the privileges of a
self governing city of the first class
Just at this time, therefore, 1T has
seemed to me that the attention OF
our people ought to be directed to the
possibility and reasonableness of a
conservative, orderly procedure under
our newly acquired independence
rather than the probable alternative
of motley patchwork of divergent
suggestions and an actual accomplish
.ment far short of our proper ideal
And 1T is not WITH any lilOuShI Va
criticism of our municipal conditions

is now proposed that the future OF
Walla Walla should be programmed
Other cities are finding the value
of procedure according to plan; ev-
ery individual must exert careful fore
sight in the conduct of his own al
fairs: why not arrange the community
business of all of us along the same
definite lines?
In the absence of a continuing
policy each changing administration
must, of necessity, fit into the lie MS
tory of a city as more or less nap
hazard contribution to its ultimate
veal or woe, and the fault is not nee
essarity with the personnel OF the al
ministration, but rather with the sys-
tenn, for in the absence of program
it is but natural, following the INES VI

is the intention to start work as soon

cost of the buildings is estimated at
$4,000. The board is this afternoon
considering applications for pardon and

completed before tomorrow evening.

N. G. ROYAL
Dies Vny
Suddenly

After an illness or less imam 40
hours. Miller Gould Royal, well
known and respected member of the
Walla Walla County Bar association,
passed away at 9 o'clock last night in
St. Mary's hospital, death resulting
after an operation performed to re-
lieve certain intestinal troubles. Dur
ing last Saturday, Mr.. Royal was
seemingly in the best of health and
remained at work the entire day. When
he returned at home in the evening, no
symptoms had occurred to warn him
of his approaching sickness and on
Sunday morning he was suddenly
stricken and grew steadily worse. An
nouncement was then made by the at
tending physicians that an operation
was the only means of saving the sick
mans life. but this proved of no avail.
M. G. Royal, the son of Rev. T. F.
Royal of Portland, was born in 1853,
on the plains of Utah, while his
parents were coming to this country
by means of prairie schooners. The
father was to do missionary work in
the northwest and is now the Oldest
living member of his church in the
west, being 90 years of age. He is
now prominently identified with the
Methodist Episcopal church and has
been a steadfast worker in the Ore
gcn conference for the past so years.
The deceased spent his boyhood days
in the Willamette valley and later at
tended a law school, from which he
graduated. He has followed the prac-
tee of his profession for the last 10
years meeting with marked success in
his chosen work. Formerly living in
Portland, Olympia, and Salem, Mr.
Royal came to this city in April, 1906,
and has engaged in his profession
since that time. Since his arrival here,
he has enjoyed a good practice and
was one of the most influential mem
GERS of the county bar. In 1905 he was

MrRoyal was a Mason and at the
time of his death was superintendent
OF the First M. E. Sunday school, of
! which denomination he has been a life
| long member. Mrs. J. w. McCaw, his
mother-in- law, has been in ill health
| for the past few months and when in
| formed of her son-in-law's sudden
death las night, suffered relapse.
Fer condition is grave. Besides the
| widow the deceased is survived by
three children, Ronald and Barbara,
at home, and Miss Bonnie Royal, an
illustrator on the Chicago Tribune.
/ Besides his aged father, the following
brothers and sisters survive the de-
ceased: Forester of Portland, Stan
ley o., Cincinnati, o.; Mrs. Aeolia
Oberg, wife of Rev. Harold Oberg of
Portland, and Mrs. Carrie L. Num-
picard of Vancouver, Wash.
| A meeting of the Bar association
will probably be called tomorrow or
Thursday by John L. Sharpstein, pres
dent, for the purpose of adopting res
| olutions lamenting the fate of their
late colleague, and to make arrange
ments for attending the funeral in
body.
| Because relatives of the deceased
are absent from the city and will not
be here for several days, the date OF
this ceremony has not yet been set
but it is probable that it will be on
next Sunday. The resolutions adopted
by the association will be made pub
liv before this time.

Jurors Who Agree to

In Contempt.

In New York, Justice Marean, in the
supreme court adjudged in contempt the
twelve jurors in the suit OF James e.
Broderick against Henry r. Humphreys,
manager, for a years salary of $780,
The case was heard and Justice
Marean instructed the jury to return a
sealed verdict If a decision should be
reached during the night. The Jurors
remained in the jury room until 7
O'Clock this morning, and then gave a
sealed envelope to the officer in charge.
This was opened by Justice Marean
when court convened, and the inclosure
read:
1--WE, the Jury, agree to disagree.
Justice Marean told the jurors that
they had made serious mistake, and
that they we're in contempt of court.
He instructed the twelve men to appear
before him on February 28.

Voters on New
Register Eligible.

BY a decision of the state supreme
court, only those voters whose names
appear on the new great register for 1910
will be allowed 10 participate in the
general primary election to be held next
August,
This decision which was written by
Judge F. W. Henshaw, means that the
great registers of voters for 1908 and
1909 cannot be used in the vertihcation
of the petitions of candidate who seek
their party nominations for state officers
at the coming primaries.
The court also holds that seven
months provided ample time for the re-
gistration of votes and that ii is not
fair to the candidate to compel them to
seek the old registers for the yertiflca-
tion of their nomination papers. -Ex-
change.
