WalIa WaIIa Mayor Thinks
PendIeton Erred in Not
Providing Camp Grounds.

Vigorous speeches in support of
Umatilla county's fight against the
Wallula cutoff were made here today
by two distinguished Walla Walla citi-
zens, Mayor Ben Hill and Joseph
Ruffner editor of the Walla Walla
Bulletin, at the Rotary Club luncheon.
"Walla Walla is opposed to routing
tourists through the uninviting portion
of the country when there is already
a good paved road through better
region" said Mr.. Ruffner, 1.-THE Eve
ming Bulletin is with YOU in this fight
and will be there to the finish"
Mayor Hill voiced the same senti-
ments as Mr.. Ruffner though he eX-
planned he was speaking as a private
citizen, not in an official capacity, The
Walla Walla mayor reviewed some of
the road history of Washington and
predicted that the Washington state
commission will not cooperate in any
work looking to connection with the
proposed Wallula road.
The Walla Walla men came over
this morning to greet Charles Henry

to be Il guest at the Rotary luncheon
today. However. Mr., Macintosh fail

tosh's place on the program was taken
by Messrs Hill and Ruffner and Sen.
ator Roy w. Ritner who told Of the
Wallula road meeting in Portland last
week.
Says Mistake Made.
According to Mayor Hill the auto
camp grounds at Walla Walla had an
average of 100 cars daily during seven
months of this year and the figures
showed 25,OO0 people made use of the
camp park. The mayor, who form
erly lived in Pendleton, gave it as his
private opinion that Pendleton folk
made mistake in rejecting the camp
ground proposal Monday. He views
the tourist business as big asset to
q city if taken care of.
At Walla Walla the Ad Club will
hold dinner this evening and Pen
dlCtnn win be represented there by
Senator Ritner and s. r. Thompson.

Cut or $4,000.

Ply using the pairing knife, "eyen un-
Itil 1t hurt" the expenses win be cut
approximately $4,000. the council
members declare, and this cut win
bring the budget down to the limit al
lowed under the state regulation of the
six per cent increase.
Under the plan of operation, as 1t
now seems probable. Pendleton will
take care of municipal business during
the coming year, every activity win be
cut to about the lowest possible fig
lure, city officials declare. 1t will be
to extend the levee, i'm
provements of parks will be cut de-
cidedly, the street department will
operate under u smaller allowance
than during this year, bridge repairs
which have been adjudged necessary
will not be pressed and other work
will be cut out.
The levy asked of the taxpayers by
the city council was $92,6O and the
amount of reduction, $15,924.28,
brings the levy down to $76,G75.72.

in suit he filed yesterday in the Su-

can Line for $4,000 damages.
Mr.. Goldberg sailed from New York
on June % last on the defendants
steamship Esthonia. He had retained
cabin "a. When he went to that cabin
on the first night out he found n
woman occupying it. He complained
and was assigned cabin 81, which, Mr..
Goldberg says, was greatly inferior to
the one he had paid for. Later in the
night, Mr.. Goldberg alleges, he awoke
and found man in his cabin, who at
tackled him with his SITS and also with
knife. He asserts he rushed to the
deck and protested to officers of the
vessel They informed Mr. Goldberg,
the complaint says, that the intruder
was mentally unbalanced and had
escaped from the ships hospital The
plaintiff, further complaining of his
rough night at sea, alleges he was

Apparatus which assisted in lighting
the blaze came from New York, Ho-

ing greatly hampered by a lack of fire
plugs and by difficulty in getting into
position, due largely to the network
of tracks back of the piers. Fire De-

The cause of the fire has not been

Pier D. The store shed on this pier
contained &C many barrels of oil. He said
that heavy explosion preceded the
first appearance of flames. There
were frequent explosions on the pier
while it was burning.
