' Resolution of condolence, 5c a Hue The Chrifttloj La G'amlo i-j un its vaudevlil stage this week the most beautiful woman on the vaudeville stage of America. Here Is ber likeness. - God Made the Countrj Man the Town One of the most sensible things said by Mr. Hunt at the dast meeting of the Commercial Club was to the effect that the kind of town we have depends on ourselves. There Is more truth than humor in the old saying, "God. made the - country ' but man -' - -; ' 11 ' " l' i.r made the town" Man cannoi auer u any great extent the country as he finds it He cannot change the an nual rainfall, though he can Bave a little of It from running to waste. He cannnot tall up a summer zephyr In February Just because he wants to do his seeding. 'He cannot change the poBltkm of tho great mountain ranges or substitute a volcanic ash for a gluclal soil, except on a very Bitifill esirden snot. God made the country but man does make the town The town is a set of artlfn lal con dltiona which man has gathered about him for pleasure and profit and a man's ideas about pleasure or profit determine what his ideas of a town shall be. If the town Is slow and sleepy, that is a sign that the neonle are Blow and Bleepy. ' If the streets tre dirty ind ir pnve I un ' put togethei without any plan either of convenience or beauty, It is be lnness are not economical and have nlness, are not eceonomlcal and have little appreciation of the beautiful. If they still persist in drinking well water and have no sewer connec tions; If stable are unscreened and breed files In ' the summertime: if they have typhoid fever in the fall ' and scarlet fever in the winter It Is because the people are too lazy or too Ignorant or too greedy to have and care or appreciation of tho value . of human life. Hut If you find the alleys as clean as the main street, the sewerage and water systems be- yend criticism; the streets laid out on a plan both of economy and beau ty; transportation so arranged as to distribute the population evenly and without crowding; the poor well boused and the vicious find crime un profitable; then you have a sure sign that the people are energetic and In telligent and moral and have a due appreciation of what mnkes life well worth living. Yes, God made the .country and man makes tho town, and he makes it just like himself. Walla Walla Duletin. m.mm.mm .....n- . MR.
