In large measure we attribute what
ever little success we have made to con-
centration and perseverance. For the
last % years our efforts have been d.
rected to operating and maintaining this
business. This has been our chief, and
you might say almost only, proposition
that we have tried to handle during
that time. We have tried to do one
thing well, and hope that our efforts
have been rewarded.
Last Monday we were closed from IL

Christmas was exceptionally busy, the

and in much better condition to display
and handle. On the grocery side we
have installed q l2-foot floor case to
handle such articles as honey. dates, figs
etc. under glass, and have taken the
wrapping counter back moro to the

, We shipped out this last week lot
Of butter that showed a loss to US Of
about 1880. This was ranch butter.
and the most OF it was good stock when
it was brought in, however, the market
is limited and when a merchant tries to
ship ranch butter. the price has to be
much lower than is the usual amount
paid here. We are at q loss to under
stand why the farmers do not take more
interest IN their local Creamery, as the
returns are sure to be much better the
year around than is possible to get out
OF ranch butter.
We have been distributing some very
pretty calendars this last week. II you
have not received one as yet, please
make a requisition on US for one.
For your New Years dinner. we will
have celery. sweet potatoes, cranberries,
grapes, etc.
Already we are beginning to receive
some invoices Of Spring goods. Winter
has hardly started yet, and seems early
to be thinking Of Spring.

REST ROOM
IS PROPOSED
BUSINESS MEMS COMMITTEE
SUGGEST INNOVATION TO BE
ESTABLISHED HERE
FURNISH PLACE OF LEISURE
FOR ALL WHO WISH-LET CIV
&c BODY GOVERN

In addition to proposing certain reg
ulation of the Walla Walla saloons,
the Business Mems committee last
night in a communication to the city
council recommended the establish
ment of a Public Rest ROOM to be
maintained by the council, and it was
the concensus of opinion that the plan
was one worthy Of consideration. The
communication, signed by Robert H.
Johnson, chairman of the business
mems committee, was as follows:
1--WE, the business mems committee.
beg to suggest the promotion and the
establishment in Walla Walla of what
may be known as public rest room,'
the same to be governed and conduct
ed by your honorable body, or by a
committee of citizens, such persons
to be appointed by the mayor.
1.-The building should be provided
with wash rooms, lavatories, ETC., both
for men and women, and attendants
should be employed to look after the
different compartments. In our opln-
ion, if this idea, which of course is
in the rough, is carried out, it would
prove of great comfort and conve-
nience to those who come to Walia
Walla to trade, and it would be of in
estimable value on Sunday and hOll-
days.
1.-The business mems committee
suggest that your honorable body re-
fer this matter to the proper COM
mittee for consideration with instruc-
tons that such committee report ways
and means to carry out such pro-
iect. We wish to assure your non
orable body of our earnest and hear
ty support if such a movement is un-
dertaken."
