Mayor Best, in bringing the matter
up, roundly censured the telephone
company for refusing to contribute to
the Fourth of July celebration fund
what he considered was its just share.
He was chairman of the canvassing
committee and asked the company
for $50. He said the company Off
cials wrote back a tale OF woe and
enclosed five dollar check which he
returned with the advice that it should
be used to better the system here He
declared the company has removed
its poles from Walla Wallas main
streets and that this city should re-
ceive like treatment.
Councilman Phelps declared he
could see no reason for discriminating
against the telephone company, and
suggested that the P. p. & L. Co. be
asked to remove its poles and wires.
The mayor expressed the opinion that
the electric company mad showed a
generous spirit toward the city by
contributing $50 to the celebration

Winner Now Regrets Bet.

not have been better if he had lost the

loser, is now satisfied that, it is a Door

The two have a large circle of friends,
and last night. the date scheduled for
paying off the bet, saw a big crowd on

two motorcycle and three other police

he seated himself in the small wheel

when Dolan, slight Of stature, started

some hidden purpose for he offered to
call the bet off when a portion of Penn

Three Grandchildren in One Day.

VhFcS 0FdnOCVitOTCU III viz 0oys
This Is the story of a woman who be-
came a great-grandmother three times
all in one day and right in succession.
Mrs. Title Berkovitz. 70 years old, of
81 Roberts street, with her new little
great-grandsons in her arms. with her
80 grandchildren and her sons and
daughters about her, says that there's
nothing in the whole wide world she
loves as much as babies.
She was seated at the breakfast table
when one Of her 80 grandchildren. J.
Berger, came rushing into the house
with his eyes as large as saucers.
It's boy" he cried, "a bouncing
boy! He weighs" and he poured out
a flow of speech that well-nigh drowned
the little grandmother.
But she rose CALAMITY to the situa-
ton, smiled sympathetically upon her
grandson and without waiting to finish
her breakfast ran with him to his home,
at $50 Fulton street.
But before half an hour was up an
other grandson, R. Bruff. of 212S Cen
ter avenue. came in all out of breath
with excitement. He didn't even wait
to congratulate his. brother-in-law, but
when he finally found his voice he slut
tered: "Rachel-Rachel just gave birth
to boy. She wants you right away"
and Mrs. Berkovitz hurried to the Bruff
home, where there was another baby
boy
The grandmother had just returned
home when a third grandson, A. Abb
rams, Of 1873 Erin street, rushed into
the house without hat.
