JOHN WAlCH, WALLA WALlA
PIONtFR, DIED LAST SUNDAY
At the Home of N. A. Marley, Aged 81
Years-WaS Citizen of Washing
ton Almost Fifty Years

John Walch died last Sunday morn
ing at the home Of his daughter, Mrs.
M. A. Marley, at 7 o'clock, with whom
he had made his home for nearly two
years, coming from Walla Walla, where
he had lived over forty years. He
lapsed into Inconsistencies forty-eight
hours before final dissolution came.
The body was taken to his old home
Monday afternoon to be buried beside
his wife, and two daughters who died
within the past year, accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. M. A. Marley.
When death called the aged pioneer
to his last reward another one OF those
men who did so much to convince the
world that the great west had within
its bounds the making OF an empire,
passed on. He came here young
man and spent the best years OF his
life at hard work. Built a home and
reared family OF four sons and four
daughters to manhood and womanhood.
Worked that they might find life more
pleasant than he found it. That is the
appointed lot Of all who leave the old
home and go into the wilds to make
a new home. In the evening of his
allotted years he lay down and went to
sleep-the last, long sleep.
John Walch was born in Ireland and
came to America, the land of promise,
in his youth. If the story Of his strug-
giles might here be written it would
form an interesting chapter of frontier
experience. When he reached Walla
Walla it was little more than rude
frontier military fort, surrounded by
what was considered sage brush
desert. He saw it transformed-did a
mans part in helping the transforma-
ton OF a wilderness into one of the
proudest and richest agricultural sec
tions OF the United States. The late
Judge Blanchard, of Walla Walla, was
his son-in-law. Four sons and TWO
daughters survive him.

BANkER-FARMER CONVENTION
PULLMAN, WASH, OCT. 6&7
Second of Kind Held in United StateS--
A Large Attendance Expected

On October 9th and 7th, at the
State College OF Washington, will be
held Farmers and Bankers Conven-
tion, the second OF its kind to be held
in the United States. This excursion
to Pullman will include approximately
one thousand farmers and bankers.
The idea OF the convention originated
with the Committee on Agricultural
and Vocational Education Of the Wash
ington Bankers Association. 1t is the
hope of this committee that at least
eight hundred farmers will accept an
invitation to 60 to Pullman, where the
State College, in cooperation with its
visitors, will provide two days Of genu-
ine entertainment and sports.
All travelling expenses of the farmers
are TO be paid by the bankers, while
the people at Pullman will furnish the
entertainment. The Pullman Cham
Der OF Commerce asks the pleasure OF
entertaining the visitors at dinner on
Friday evening and the State College
invites them to luncheon en- Saturday,
after which Coach Dietz and his foot
ball stars will entertain them at the
annual Alumni game.
Any farmer in the state who is in
terested in visit to the State College
at some other mans expense should
call on his banker and ask him how
this may be arranged.

The platform has been accepted

A RINGING DECLARATION
FROM NOMINEE MCBRIDE
Touches the Points About Which the
Voters Want to knOw-henry
Mcbride Hits the Spots

From an economic as we'll as from a
moral viewpoint our dry law has been
of great value to the people OF this
state. It should not be disturbed. I
am opposed to the legislature making
any changes in it unless it be to
strengthen the means OF enforcing it.
Two initiative measures. one known
as No. 18 or the Hotel Bill, and the
other as No. "a or the Brewers Bill,
are before the people for adoption or
rejection at the November election.
These measures are in no sense a party
question. I believe, however, this
state should remain in the dry column.
No backward step should be taken.
In my judgment, the adoption Of these
initiative measures, or either of them,
would be step in the wrong direction.
I regard myself as the nominee, not
OF any faction, not OF any interest, not
Of any group of individuals, but as the
nominee Of reunited republican party.
The democratic state administration
has been marked by ineficiency, by
neglect OF duty, by making the public
service commission football of politics,
by scandal, by looting Of public funds,
by assessment of appointees for the
payment Of private debts, by an ever
increasing buiden upon the over patient
tax payer.
In exchange for this the reunited
republican party offers a constructive
policy. 1t stands for reducement of
public expenditure, for dollars worth
OF work from every dollar contributed
to the public purse.
In the matter Of appointments to
positions in the state service it stands
for fitness for the particular place,
rather than for docility in the contribu-
ton Of portion OF the salary for the
use Of the chief executive. 1t stands,
not for a looting OF public funds, but
for a strict accountability. 1t stands
for the surrounding OF the executive by
men and women OF the highest calibre
devoted to the interests of the state.
1t stands for the complete enforcement
OF our educational institutions and Of
the national guard from politics. 1t
stands for the taking of the public
service commission out OF politics
rather than making it football Of part
isan contests. 1t stands for a commits
sion big enough, fair enough and strong
enough to hold the scales OF justice
evenly between the people and the
corporations over which it exercises
jurisdiction. 1t would place every de-
partment Of the state government upon
the highest possible plane with the
view solely of serving the best interests
of the people at the least possible ex-
pense. 1t stands for the short ballot
and the budget system, for the fixing
and centering Of responsibility and the
making of our government, state and
local, more responsive to the will OF
the taxpayer and OF the people in
general. To secure these ends and
the consequent reduction in public ex-
penses. constitutional revision is neces-
sary. Henry Mcbride.

LeavenwOrth Apples Moving.

Leavenworth apples have begun to
move. They are somewhat late in
maturing this season, complaint that
comes from every part Of the valley.
A half dozen cars have been sold so far
and others will follow shortly. The
crop will not be as large as at first cal
culated on. This is mainly due to the
smaller size Of the apples. Due to the
unusually cold weather during the
midsummer growing season.
