Law-.-Elect Commissioner
Next Month

By two to one vote, the people
of Walla Walla Tuesday deter

ment under the Allen law, and by
big majority put the matter OF
technicalities out of the way. The
new form of municipal govern
ment carried by heavy majority
the total vote cast in the special
election being in many precincts
larger than that for the regular
general election.
Under the Allen law, within GO
days there must be an election for
commissioners, the primaries pre-
ceding the second Monday before.
Not less than Is days nor more
than 25 days are to be given for
the filing of candidates. for mayor
and commissioners, which red tape
being finally unwound, shows the
election Will probably be held on
August 7 or IA, and the election
August 81 or %; and the commits
sioners would take office the second
Monday after, probably September
4 or II. The latter dates will more
likely be used, as September 4 is a
legal holiday.
The commissioners elected are to
hold until three years from next
December, after which the election
will be held in December.

ALL MUST KEEP
BACKWARDS TIDY
When the New Health Ordinance
Gets to Working, there will
be No Flies to Swat

The council met Tuesday night
and passed new health ordinance,
which will go into effect Immediate
ly. The measure provides a mini
mum fine of $25 and a maximum
fine of 500 for the occupant of
premises which may be found by
the inspector to be unclean. 1t
provided that house keepers and
hotel keepers provide themselves
with water-tight and fy-tight COW
cred garbage cans of galvanized iron
not lighter than No. %, such cans
to be IS inches in diameter. These
are to be emptied at regular inter-
walls at the expense of the occupant
of the premises. The ordinance
also provides for periodical inspec-
ton of the food supply as relating
to meat, vegetables and milk.
The bid of Coffin d Crawford of
Chicago who contracted to buy the
$40, 900 sewer bonds, was declared
annulled and a reimbursement for
other bids was ordered made. The
new bids must be in the city clerks
hands by August 1st. The council
has never been able to get any
further action from the bond COM
pany since their bid was accepted,
and as they never posted any cash
forfeit the city fathers felt that it
was waste of precious time to daily
with them any longer.
The report of the special election
board was canvassed and found
correct and the bills for June or
dered paid.
Considerable time was spent in
discussion of the irrigation improve
nnent district which is planned for
the Beach addition. 1t is likely
that no more surface fumes will be
allowed built within the city limits
and all extentions of irrigation sys-
TENS in the future will get their
water through underground pipes.

to drive home to the hearers the
great need of the improvement of
our inland waterways. He has
been for several years an active
representative in this district for
the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress, which in the seven years
OF its existence has grown to be a
great power in debating to the
Rivers and Harbors Committees at
Washington D. C. 1t is almost en-
tirely due to the efforts of the Con-
gress that the annual appropria-
tions for this work has been re-
moved from the pork barrel" and
is now being expended more wisely
from year to year.
In course of the Professors talk
he showed beyond doubt the wisdom
OF the nations great expenditures
in the waterway development work
how the millions paid out have
been returned ten-fold, in many
instances, in the enormously de-
creased freight tariffs. Even tho,
the speaker said, no saving could
thus be made, it is imperative that
our great waterway system be i'm
proved to the limit, for the time is
coming when it will be a physical
impossibility for the railroads of the
country to handle the traffic. This
fact has been recognized and pub
licly stated in speeches by Jas. J.
Hill, John F. Stevens and other far
seeing transportation chiefs.
In closing, Prof. Lyman urged
that as the work of the Congress
will be greatly expedited by back
Ing OF active public sentiment, no
one should neglect the opportunity
OF a display of such sentiment.
This may be voiced in an occasional
letter to your senator or congress
man impressing them with the inn
pOrtancs of the Columbia River i'm
provement projects and urging a
larger appropriation for next years
work.
After the speaker had concluded,
the Club voted unanimously to
continue its membership in the
Congress for the coming year.

PROPHES|ES GREAT CITY HERE
Prof. w. D. Lyman Says all Geographical
Signs point to Inland Metropolis
on Kennewick's Site

Unless all geographical signs
lie, there will be built at this point
the future metropolis of the Inland
Empire, and in time one of the
most important inland cities of the
country"
Such was the decided opinion ex-
pressed by Prof. W. D. Lyman of
Walla Walla, in an interesting ad-
dress before the Commercial Club
last Tuesday night.
And there is no need to label this
statement by the speaker as hot air
talk. The Professor has no inter-
ests here, he is a resident of another
community and so his opinion must
be credited entirely to his life
stud waterways, and especially
that great waterway at our door,
the Columbia.
That unimpeded river transport
tation from the sea to Priest Rapids
will be possible inside of three
years, Prof. Lyman says is practi-
cally certain. Three thousand men
are now making the rock fly at
Cello, and if Congress can be per-
suaded to increase next years ap-
preparation at this point from
s6OO,O to 81, 100000, it is his
opinion, as gathered from the en-
gineers in charge, that two years
may see the completion Of the
locks.
With the obstruction at Cello out
of the way the remaining impor-
tant Improvements in the Columbia
will be the construction of locks at
Priest Rapids and at Kettle Falls
and minor channel Improvements
at three other points. These the
speaker said, would give an unob.
structed waterway from the Pacific
to Revelstroke, distance of some
1000 miles. It is his belief that all
these Improvements will be COM
pleted within the next ten years
and his belief has been strengthened
by the activity now being mani
tested by our Canadian cousins in
this most important of projects.

ANGUS the JESTER

Angus Hay of the White Bluffs
Spokesman gets the fol lowing off his
chest concerning the game at Han
ford on the Fourth:
The star event of the day was
the baseball game in the afternoon
between White Bluffs and Kenne-
wick. Score, I'll, favor of Ken
newick.
1t was our boys first game this
year, and they had had only one
practice. So little was expected of
them, and the outcome was not
surprising, Notwithstanding the
weak team they played against. The
game was comedy of errors with
a play here and there indicating
better work in days gone by. With
a weeks practice the White Bluffs
team would make monkeys of such
a nine as Kennewick had on the
field the 4th. Umpire, O'Larey
of White Bluffs, ,-and good one,
toO.'
While nobody can deny that the
Kennewick boys played poor game
on this occasion, it must be ad-
mitted that they didn't have to
play any other kind. The Courier
man was reliably informed that the
White Bluffs boys had been putting
in strenuous practice every after
noon for three weeks previous to
the game and actually thought they
had chance to get away with the
money. Twas simply a case of
too much class. Kennewick can
play this years White Bluffs team
off their feet every day in the week
and any assertion to the contrary in
the above quotation must be taken
as another of Hays little Jokes.
THAT last sentence, concerning
Umpire O'Larey, is also delicate
bit of humor.

During the past two years many of the

Northern Pacific lines have been replaced
by structures consisting of reinforced
concrete slabs on reinforced concrete
piers, supported on concrete piles. One
of these structures is shown herewith.
They represent many advantages for use
where the maximum height does not ex-

bridged are comparatively free from drift
