been studying the recommendations of
the business men, and would meet
with the business men in the near flu

ANOTHER LICENSE
HAS BEEN RENEWED

Again the question of reducing the
number of saloons in Walla Walla bob
bed serenity up at the meeting of the
city council last night, the discussion
cation of Fred Post for renewal for
the Bank Exchange at IA Main street
Councilman c. II. Whiteman took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to make a
few pertinent remarks, and also Of
fered some suggestions, which wer con-
Cured in by other members of the.
body.
Some time ago." said he. I'VE had a
communication from the business
mems committee, signed by R. H.
Johnson, touching the question of sa
looms. / do not know how big body
of men this business mems committee
is, but as it was signed by secre-
tary, / suppose there was an organiza-
ton. They recommended that the
number of saloons in Walla Walla be
reduced to 20; now, my idea, every
time these petitions come in is to re-
fer them to the health and police
committee. The business mems COM
mittee must have had a promise from
some members of this council that
their recommendations for the reduc-
ton of the number of saloons would
receive some consideration, and they
carried the election on it. We can
have 40 saloons in this city and secure
good men to operate them, but my
idea is to refer these applications to
the committee, and give them ample
time to study the question, make in
vestigations prior to making their re-
port"
Councilman Bachtold said the COM
munication from the business mems
committee had been referred to the
committee on health and police, but
that no report had been forthcoming.
He said if there was an ordinance in
effect regulating the number of saloons
the council would have something to
go by.

Favor Mann Amendment
At the meeting of the trustees yes
terday, it was decided to wire the SEN
ators and representatives from this
state and ask them to support the
Mann amendment to the interstate
commerce law. An effort will be made
to interest the fruit growers in pre-
pairing an exhibit from this section
for the National Apple show and af-
terward for display in Chicago. To
properly do so requires proper pruu-
ing, spraying, thinning, etc., and if
a display is made it must be started
With the beginning of the fruit sea-
son as past efforts have proved that
proper specimen of the fruit cannot
be picked up by chance and exhibited
with any success. A vote of thanks
vas extended to Messrs. Morrow and
Scott, delegates to the Good Roads
convention, also to the Spokane cham
Der of commerce and to Mr.. Perry
of Spokane for courteSieS shown the
Walla Walla delegation duCing the
convention. 1t is hoped that the club
may be able to secure an address
from Mr.. Perry, on the subject of
Good Roads, for the membership
meeting in May.
The club will contribute the sum
of 500 per month to the support of
the Walla Walla Concert band for
the next six months as an encourage
ment to that organization.
