TAG DAY
PLANNED

According to officers of the Woman's
Park club, Walla Walla is to have
another tag day in the near future, the
date to be announced soon, and fur
ther improvements in the city park
are being planned for the coming sea-
son by members of the city's live
wire" organization. 1t is planned that
"tag day." 1910 shall be made even
greater success than the initial event
of last year, when approximately ST.
900 was raised to carry on improve
ment work, and the operation of dis
posing of tags is to be conducted
along similar lines as those in prac-
tice last year.
The executive committee of the club,
after auditing bills of the Park club
ball recently given in Armory hall,
found that the sum of 1915 had been
realized, anu Tie pdih luuo mas DSoii
materially increased thereby. The
returns are encouraging in that the
proceeds of the ball exceed the sum
taken in at the restaurant at the
county fair last October, and are con-
siderably more than those Of the first
Park club ball.
With the announcement of tag day
date, preparations are to make the
event a red letter day with the Park
club. and it is the desire of the ladies'
to make the second attempt an even
greater success than that Of last year
proved to be.

GRANTED

The second airing in court of the
suit for divorce between Sally Rand
and William Rand, both of Wallula
occurred again this morning with the
result that Judge Brents granted the
decree, also awarding to the plaintiff
the care and custody of the three mi
nor children. The grounds for COM
plalnt was non-support, criminal abuse,
this being further strengthened by the
fact that the husband was a steady
drinker.
Though the case came up for hear

missed by the defendant, agreeing to
stop drinking and to keep his family
IN the proper manner. On his failure

ruled that another trial would be de-

divorce. Attorneys fees amounting 20
HSo and alimony of $25 per month was
Iufther awarded the plaintiff.
Many witnesses were brought into
court to testify in the case and it near

And Inspector G. L. Whitney,

After successfully teaching his large
class how to put UP both the square
and diagonal packs, N. Y. Tostevin in
charge of the Apple Packing school be-
ing held this week, today demonstrated
how to wrap the fruit. Each pupil was
personally shown hod to do this and
the morning was spent in mastering
this trick. New pupils, bent on learn
ing some one feature of the packing
art continue to arrive daily and the
class has now assumed large propor
tions.
This afternoon practical demonstra-
tions and lectures on pruning were de-
livered in the room set aside for that
pudpose, by J. l.. Dumas, one of the
most successful orchardists in this
country and by District Fruit Inspec-
tor c. L. Whitney. This meeting was

by the members of the audience and as
the meeting was an open one, it was
urged upon those present to enter into
the discussion.

the first attempt of the kind ever tried
in this section of the country and so
successful has been the venture that
the management has decided to hold

thrifty oneyear-old tree, neither stunt
ed nor over grown. In planting avoid
setting the tree too deep. A tree
should be set about two inches deeper
than it was in the nursery. On heavy
bottom land or foOthill soil one inch
deeper would be sufficient, but in the
lighter ground two inches or even
three is all right Before planting, ex-
anime the roots carefully and see that
they are not infected with any of the
diseases, such as Crown GALL Woolly
Apris or hairy roots; prune off the
bruised and broken roots with sharp
knofe,. cutting from the under side, and
dig a hole deep and wide enough TO
plant the tree without cramping the
roots. Place the tree in the hole and
if you find it is too deep throw in
some soil in the bottom Of the hole.
After few shovels full of earth has
been laced around the roots, raise the
tree slightly so that the roots will point
downward. When the hole Is about
two thirds full, settle the earth with a
pail or two of water if possible, if not
tramp the earth firmly with the feet.
then put the loose dirt on top; this can
also be tramped with the feet. pro-

PARIS, Jan. 2S.-Rearing it's ugly
head out Of the polluted flood of
waters, the horrible dragon of disease
barred it's fangs in the face of Paris to-
day and the stricken city hesitated in
rejoicing over the arrival of the flood
crest, with the sickening sensation Of
the new peril
The health officials are sending out
placards warnin. of death in the Iurk-
ing waters, befouled by the broken
sewers. Soldiers and police have posi-
tive orders not to allow any one to
move back into the flooded houses after
the waters begin to recede. Inspectors
report that breaks in the sewers have
been so frequent that it will be neces-
sary for the officials to burn all cloth
ing, bedding, carpets and other material
which absorbs water All the flooded
houses must be fumigated and the
walls scraped before the occupants can
safely return to them. With the tenn
perature higher today the stencil from
the sewers is increased and danger
from the spread of disease is corre-
spondingly greater. Hospitals are being
taxed and the number of patients is
far greater than could be accommo-
dated properly under ordinary circum-
stances
Forty miles above Paris, toward the
headwaters of the Seine, the floods to-
day are beginning to fall, and the as
surance of the engineers that the ris-
ing tide has practically reached it's
crest here, was received with hysteri-
cal joy. The Seine was almost station
ary at 9 o'clock and the waters began
to recede at noon. The extent of the
desolation they will reveal remains for
the flood itself to disclose. Couriers to-
day report the river al Marne reced-
ing
The danger of buildings collapsing as
result of their foundations being un-
dermined will be greater than ever
when the waters begin to recede, ac-
cording to government engineers. The
government is preparing to furnish free
food and supplies to the destitute.
Within sight of scores of persons
unable to rescue him, Corporal Trip
tier was drowned today in the water
covering the sidewalks of the Quai De
Billy. He had gone out in boat with
two other soldiers and a messenger
boy, when the small craft capsized and
all the occupants were thrown into the
water. His companions were able to
reach places of safety, but Triptier,
weakened by the constant service Of
/ several days and nights, was unable to
keep himself above the tide
! The sewer broke this afternoon near
the Central Market and flooded the

Most of the provisions were destroyed
and the market was rendered so dnsan-

For the Future.

General Agent S. B. Calderhead said
this afternoon that the matter of
Northern Pacific station for Walla
WaIla. was being discussed with view
to preparing for the future, and that
there is little likelihood of immediate
work Blue prints or the city ana
suburbs were gone over, and the varl-
Gus locations suitable for depot pur-
poses were inspected. 1t is the desire
to secure site where all offices and
but no word has been given as to the
probable location of the new station.
The fact that switch engines in the
present yards of the company daily
cause annoyance with instructors and
pupils of the Baker school is potent
factor, it is said, in the movement for
the new station. as frequent complaints
have been registered with the school
board. being in turn taken up with ofn-
cials of the Northern Pacific. The ru-
NOR is persistent that the new station
and freight yards are to be located at
the northern end of North Second
street, where suitable ground is ayalla-
BILE. but the officials are taking no def1-
mite action at this time, merely IN
vestigating the conditions and prepar-
ing the preliminaries to prevent delay
when decisive action is deemed expe-

officials of the Northern Pacific
company, who arrived in the city to-
day noon, have been engaged this af-
ternoon in considering the proposition
of a new station for Wana Walla. and
it is rumored that arrangements are
being made for action in the near
future. When interviewed this after
noon, the officials did not deny the re-
port, and admitted that new depot for
this city was occupying some of their
attention. 1t is also said the matter of
a union depot is being considered,
though not seriously as yev.
In the party which arrived here to-
day are T. T. Woodwork, +raffic man
ager, Henry Blakeley, western freight
agent, and H. c. Mutt general manager
of lines west of Paradise. The trip
into this section of the west is a regu-
lar inspection jaunt, though Mr.. Wood
worth has not been in Walla Walla for
a number of years. He is greatly sur
prised at the change in the town since
his last visit and the question of a
new station appeals more strongly to
members of the party because of the
wonderful progress made along other
lines.

and nearly as many were wounded.
Most Of the dead were rural guards

ment and residents Of the city, on
which fell deluge of masonry and
debris from the blown up building.
It is not known yet whether the ex-
plosion was the result of an accident
or was due to an act of conspirators,
but the former is considered the more
probable.
Several relief trains carrying sur
geons and government officials were
! sent from Havana to the scene of the
catastrophe, which is 118 miles dis
tant.
The barracks, which was a massive
building of Spanish construction, oc-
cupied an eminence in the outskirts
of the city to the north. Adjacent to
| the barracks was long row of off,
| GERS quarters.
Recently the barracks was occupied
by the public works department and
four troops Of rural cavalry. In con-
sequence of the alarm over race dis
| turbances the government ordered all
deposits Of dynamite in the vicinity
in the possession of contractors for
| road construction and other public
| works to be removed to the barracks
for safe-keeping.
The work of removing the dynamite
from the barracks for shipment to
| the government magazines in Havana
was begun by employees of the public
works department. They were en-.
mite on wagons when a terrific explo-
sion occurred, instantly followed by
another, strewing the central court
with dead and wounded.
The whole massive barracks build
ing was destroyed, the adjacent row
Of officers quarters was demolished,
and the whole northern section of the
city was deluged with torrent of
fragments Of masonry.
The explosions occurred at o'clock,
few seconds before the men would
have quit work, and it is generally be-
lieved that the first resulted from the
accidental fall of box of dynamite
| which was being lifted on a wagon.
According to reports received here
the mangled remains of victims were
found in the streets of the city mile
| from the scene of the explosion.
There is great anxiety in Havana
owing to the fact that a large num-
Der of the rural garrison at Pinar Del
Rio recently were sent from this city
where their families reside.
