club having been turned over to a dis
cussion of the necessity for planting
trees along the roads of the county, w.
A. Ritz acted as chairman of the
meeting, delivering short talk upon
the subject. advising the planting Of
the black locust and giving figures to
show what might be accomplished by
a proper cultivation. Attorney H. S..
Blandford and ]. l.. Dumas were
among the principal speakers, both Civ
ing some excellent facts relative to the
most satisfactory manner of develop
ing trees along the county roads.
Mr. Ritz said that the black locust
was best adopted to arid sections
where irrigation was not available, and
gave figures showing the value of'such
trees through the wood and post pro-
ducts secured. They are also desirable
for shade purposes, and are beautiful
as well.
j. L. Dumas, who is one of the best
posted tree men in the west said the
people of the Walla Walla valley have
a great future before them. have the
soil and climatic conditions which per-
mits of the growing of fine trees with
but a minimum cultivation. He argued,
however. that one cannot expect a tree
to grow properly unless given some de-
gree of cultivation, and urged the ne
cessity of action a year in advance of
the time set for planting trees. He
said the ground should be plowed this
season, and the moisture conserved
and the trees set out next season, CIV
ing the details for the planting opera
ton, and the value of a new root sys-
tenn He also recommended the black
locust, and in speaking of this tree as
a beautiful one quoted President Roose-

subject under discussion at the Know
Your City" meeting in the Y. M. C. A.
auditorium. All of the addresses of
which bore upon the educational ad-
vantages of Walla Walla and the
amusement places supported by the
citizens.
No startling statements were made
today, most of the speakers giving a
plain straight talk on what facilities
we have for educating our children
and what sort of amusement halls
the city has.
At 1880 those present at the city
hall, the starting point for all ex-
cursions around the town, went to the
city public library, where Miss Ellen
Garfield Smith, librarian, showed
them around the library and explained
the system in use there, and what the
library was doing for the people. The
party then visited the various moving
picture shows of the city, over which
much comment has been made by var
ious speakers generally denouncing the
picture theatres. These two trips were
for the purpose of discussing these two
questions more thoroughly by atcual-
ly seeing what was being done.
Chairman Jones opened the meeting
after the party arrived at the Y. M.
c. A. with a short address, praising
the people of Walla Walla on the
good schools they have. Mr.. Jones
spoke as follows:
"'All work and no/play makes Jack
a dull boy"
"Only a limited portion of an eou-
ca:icn is given in our class-rooms.
"The home, the church, the press,
the street and the playground all are
potent factors in education. We are
to understand, then. that pro-
vision and recreation with proper

CHICAGO, March 15.-Although a
general strike of $4,000 firemen has
been called by the officials of the
Brotherhood it appeared probable to-
day that the actual walkout of the
men wouldn't be ordered before the
end of the week The delay is for the
purpose of allowing the Pacific coast
union officials to reach their homes
to direct the operations there The date
will be announced later today.
The decision to strike was reached at
midnight, following the rejection of
the firemen's demands by the general
managers.
Apparently the only hope of prevent
ing the strike is federal intervention.
The railroads have telegraphed a re-
quest to Chairman Knapp of the inter-
state commerce commission and Labor
Commissioner Neil to act as mediators
The men demand a general increase Of
12k per cent.
Among the forty-seven lines affected
are the Southern Pacific, Oregon Shord
Line, the o. r. & N, the Union Pacific,
the Northern Pacific, the Great North
ern and the Milwaukee.
