discussion a committee of ten was or

with the city council to effect a clean

kaser Differs i'm Opinion.
Getting back to the purpose of the
meeting F. w. Kaiser took issue with
Mr. Meacham in regard to Walla
Walla's securing more smoke stacks.
Mr. Kaser thought that if a little work
was done. each year to securing new
industries as Wen as lending a bet
ter support to those the city already
has that Walla Walla would make
substantial progress as a factory town.
The speaker said that not later than
three years ago he was interested in
getting up the text matter for Com
mercial club booklet. The booklet
went on to say that apples could be
grown in the Walla Walla valley; but
this statement was severely criticised
by prominent Walla Wallan, who
thought no fruit such as apples could
be grown here. Our country IS an
ideal apple land and if the proper ones
were to direct things and a correct
investigation made there is no doubt
but that Walla Walla would discover
opportunities along manufacturing
lines
r. c. Macleod moved that the Com
mercial club members who enjoy the
weed, smoke cigars manufactured ex-
clusiyely in Walla Walla for one month
by way of helping out local cigar en-
terprises. This daring but. neverthe-
H. II. Turner moved that a commit
tee of five be appointed to especially
bring up before the people the fact
that when it was at all possible they

goods. Among other speakers of last
nights meeting were Warden S. C
Reed, of the penitentiary, who sale
that the Walla Walla Commercial club
would be much more Interesting and
successful organization if 1t cultivated
the social side little more. H
thought the club should turn it's quar-
ters over at least one night month
to the ladies of the city. who would
hold forth on that night and run things
as they saw fit.

Weather Conditions.

The North Pacific high area has
passed eastward to the northern Rocky
mountain states and eastern slope, and
the decrease in pressure over the Fa-
cific northwest has caused light pre-
cipitation in Washington, Oregon and
Idaho A disturbance over the Gulf of
Mexico is attended by rain in the gulf
and south Atlantic states. An eastern
area of high pressure now central over
New England is causing colder wealth
er in the north Atlantic states. The
conditions are unsettled in this vicini-
ty, but give a probability of fair wealth
er for tonight and Saturday.
