The many Walhalla friends of
G. d. Walker learned with deep re-
gret last week that he was to be
transferred as resident manager
Of the Walhalla Plant of the
Victor-Monaghan Mills to the .Otta-
ray Plant at Union. Mr.. Walker and
his estimablc family left Saturday,
and their going was the source Of re-
grct on all sides. Probably no
manager Of this plant had ever
so thoroughly identified himself with
our people or pushed to completion
so many improvements at the plant
as had Mr.. Walker during the short
period In which he was at the head
OF the local plant. He seemed to
in an unusual degree execu-
tive ability and the mack Of doing
things at the moment. Among peo-
pie in no way associated with the
plant as well as among the employees
in every branch Of the industry he
was liked, and his ability was recog-
nized. The plant has been improved
during the past year to such an ex-
tent as to be almost distinct in every
detail from the plant of which he
took charge. Both the mill village
and The town Of Walhalla have lost
a citizen whom they would $,have
been delighted to have numbered as
