Thousands of people hav ve laughed with a famous comedian whose jest is the doubled 'Walla." Few appreciate a perfectly valid reason for the repetition. Most primitive languages being strictly utilitarian, are of limited vocabulary. Walla Walla meant to the Indian not merely a watering-place, but a place of "many waters" and he so described it by repeating the Indian name for water. The valley was aptly named by the aborigine. In sharp contrast to other bunchgrass and sagebrush covered valleys of the Inter-mountain region, which, as a rule, has but one course cf living water, the valley had and has countless springs and streams aside from , its principal drainage rivers. Today they traverse the city In many directions through Its parks snd residence districts and under Its business section and streets, adding an indescribable charm to Its varied beauties. Hrsldrata Owa Homes. Walla Walla Is essentially a "city of homes." Over two-thirds of its lesldences are owned by the people living in them. This fact is evl aenced by well-kept lawns, magnifl csnt shade trees and beautiful flower gardens. Its streets are wide and well shaded. Thirty miles of paving pro mote "motor comfort," and about ten miles of new construction Is con templated. The federal census recegtly com pleted gave the city a population of 15.600. Its adjacent suburban popu lation number 5000 more, while its trading radius includes a total of about 50,000. 1 The city boasts 23 substantial church edifices, its school system is second to none, boasting six modern grade buildings and a splendid high school with a fully equipped gym nasium housed In a separata build ing. Hlaher Hrfconla Higher educational institutions In clude the famous Whitman college, tounded In 1859. which has a de servedly high rank among the col 'eges of the nation. Other highly efficient schools include St. Paul's School for Girls, St. Vincent's Academy and Walla Walla college. Public buildings sre substantial fcnd dignified, including the court house, city hall, public library, state armory and federal, building. The state Oddfellows' home la In Walla Walla. The Stubblefield Home for Orphans and the Christian Home for the Aged are splendid Institutions of their kind. Two well-equipped hos pitals are maintained. Y. M. C. A. snd Y. W. C. A. are rendering service in their own buildings. Fort Walla Walla, an historic mili tary post of the long ago, has re cently been acquired by the United States public health service, which Is establishing a hospital for the care of disabled veterans. The ultimate capacity of the institution was esti mated at 1000 beds. The Washington state penitentiary and the state game farm are near the-city, the latter furnishing a great attraction to' tourists. Mater System Good. The city's water, sewer and light ing systems are modern and ade quate. It has 25 miles of paved streets and about five miles under going paving at the present time. The fire department is one of the best manned and equipped In the state. Two daily and two wsekly newspapers and a standard moflthly magaxine serve the readers of the district. In the center of one of the richest farming sections In the world. Walla Walla's industries naturally 'pertain to agriculture. Among the most Im portant within the city are three flour mills, two creameries, two sash and door factories with planing mill attached, a brick yard, two foundries, a cement tile and pipe works, a weeder factory, a harvester assem bling plant, a packing and cold stor age plant, two Ice plants and three cigar factories; A large farmers' co operative grain elevator Is a valuable iftfcl MM . : ..... "-r. . ::. : .. '.Til feature for handling the grain out- . nut ' I City Haa S Banks. . Five splendid banking Institutions and a newly founded trust company have combined deposlta approaching $12,000,000. In their vaulta are now more than $5,000,000 worth of liberty bonds and nearly double that amount of other good securities owned by the people of this rich valley. The visitor who comes "just a-play-ln'" may fish and hunt In season to his heart's content. Practically all the streams abound with gamey rain bow, cutthroat and Dolly Varden trout. He who tramps with dog and gun may put up quail. Hungarian partridge and Chinese pheasant in the valieya and over the grain stub ble, while In the tree-covered foot hills of the Blue mountains native grouse are found in numbers. Ideally beautiful camping spots exist along the water courses and in the timbered hills. Walla Walla Is Juertly proud of her wonderful parks. Three are at pres ent improved, while the city owns other available acreage which may be utilised ln future years. City park comprises 40 acres within easy walk ing distance of the business section. It is a mass of sylvan beauty, won derfully landscaped and $ perfectly maintained. Dreamland park, in the southern part of the city, white of smaller area, 1s equally beautiful. Adequate playground facilities are maintained in both areas. V ValU-r I Rirh. The Walla Walla valley Is probably (he richest per cspita section of the entire northwest. Its great wealth has been amassed primarily in the production of wheat. From the tim ber line to the stream borders of the valley, on the foothills, plateaus and bencheei. In the valleys, coulees and canyons, acre upon acre produces an nually from 40 to 60 bushels of "No. 1" wheat. The estimated wheat pro duction for the current year Is .000. 000 bushels. There are also produced more than 500,000 "bushels of barley, close to 60.000 bushels of oats and about 30.000 tons of alfalfa. Of vegetables, potatoes snd onions are the leading crops. This Is also an Important fruit country. More than 180.000 apple trees. 2600 pear trtM, about 6000 pech trees. 62.004 plum and prune tree and 100 cherry trees, as well as- about 100 acres of grapes and considerable acreage of strawberries and buh fruits, have been planted, and most are in bear ing. DalrrlBK I Profitable. Dairying, stock raising and poultry add additional large incomes. There are about 2500 milch cows. 6000 hog-. 35.000 ah'eep, 4500 mules, about 12,000 hYjrses and numerous poultry farms. Sheep and hogs do particularly well on account of the rich pasture avail able. The sheep are pastured during the summer in the Blue mountains and are wintered in the warm val leys. The average wool clip weighs 8.5 pounds, compared with 6.1 pounds for the entire I'nlted States. The soils of the valley consist gen erally of' den. rich, dark-colored loams with varying mixtures of fine sand and volcanic ash. Most of it Is said to be derived from rudiments of the ancient Lake John Day. It is usually well drained and contains very little alkali. The heaviest soils are around the city of Walla Walla and In the rolling hills to the east. The areas nearest the streams are excellent for vegetables, fruits and alfalfa. The remainder is devoted principally to grain. The- climatic conditions are very favorable for agricultural operations and crop failures are unknown. The precipitation at Walla Walla aver ages 17.7 inches. A little further east1 It probably increases two or three inches. Toward the west It is some what less. The summers are long and warm, and the short winters seldom have sufficient freezing weather to supply Ice for local use. The growing period is about seven months. I.asd Is Classified. The county contains 809.600 acres of land, of which 2698 acres are un reserved and unappropriated govern ment lands; 23.655 acres are state lands subject to purchase, snd a neg ligible portion Is reserved for mili tary purposes. This leaves in private r aS' . ii i. ownership, exclusive of city and town lots, about 750.000 acres. This pri vately owned land is practically all in farms. 721.934 acres being reported as fenced, including about 525,000 Im proved. About 235,000 acres are clas sified as unimproved, but much of this can be placed under cultivation when cleared, he remainder ia thor oughly adapted for pasturage. Grazing land brings from $20 to $30 an acre, some of the poorest going as low as $10. Unimproved lands suitable for cultivation will tetch from $100 to $150. Wheat lands are around $150 an acre; lands good for general farming, around $200; hay lands, about $300 and orchard lands from $300 to $1500. The highest priced lands are near Walla Walla. Rail Service Good. The county,. Is well served with steam railroads, of which there are 324 mile's provided by the Oregon Washington Railroad A Navigation company and the Northern Pacific, one or both of which reaches prac tically every postoffice in the county. Supplementing these is an electric ir.terurban which connects the city of Walla Walta with the immediate outlying districts. Excellent roads, paaaable the year round, are main tained. The principal thoroughfare is the Inland Empire highway, passing-through In an east-and-west di HUSBAND-SLAYER BROKEN WOMAN COLLAPSES AFTER 9IAKIXG CONFESSION. "Oh, God, I Didn't Mean to Kill Him." Cries Wife Who Threw Acid in Face. AKRON.-O.. Sept. 23. Mrs. Minnie E. Derr. 42,- was-in the People's. hos pital today suffering from a nervous collapse following her sensational confession last night to the throwing of acid into the face of her husband, Alvln R. Derr, Akron business man, who died from inhaling the poisonous fumes. A charge of murder was entered against ber on the police court docket. Mrs. Derr, arrested In her borne, following funeral services over her husband's body yesterday afternoon, broke down under questioning last night and shrieked. "Yes. I threw It." "Oh, God I didn't mean to kill him. I didn't want to kill him." she moaned and then fell in. a faint on the floor. In an adjoining room her four children heard the screams which marked the confession. Three of them had refused to- believe their mother was guilty. The fourth, Harry, aged 20 years, smiled grimly. "Don't blame my mother for cut ting the telephone wires and locking the door of my room." he told offi cers following the confession. "I did that. But I never would have told, no matter how much I might "have been tortured." A home made unhappy through her husband's attentions to other women was the cause for her act, Mrs. Derr confessed. fW had quarreled after, we re . '-:... sen . II I .

Four nationally known "trails" use all or part at the Inland Empire highway in reaching Walla Walla, namely, the Yellowstone trail, the Evergreen highway, the Theodore Roosevelt International highway and the Banff-to-CalifornIa trail. Six auto stage lines operate from Walla Walla to Pasco, Pendleton, Dayton, Milton, Touchet and College Place. Settlement Ia Rapid. It Is a far cry from the "Many Waters" of the Indian to the modern city of Walla Walla. Less than a century ago a dozen tribe annually met by these waters In solemn and uniformly peaceful convocation to allocate the hunting and the grazing lands. Today the farmer meets in educational convention to discuss the most progressive method of tilth af fecting these same lands. ' Where the wigwam encampment stood, irregular and unique, modern business blocks nerve an agricultural population. The lazy smoke of the council fire has given place to the belching cloud from a hundred In dustrial chimneys. The picturesque pack train has been supplanted by the locoomtive, the automobile and the aeroplane. A famous educational institution perpetuates the name of one of the first great missionaries who gave h'a life to the subjugation of a wilderness. Civilization has con quered. The wilderness is no more. turned home last Saturday night." she added. "I did not sleep tber rest of the night." The acid was thrown upon Derr as ha slept early Sunday morning.

Miss MoIIie Allen Tells How Cuticura Healed Eczema "Ecxema broke out on my fore arms and limbs, from ankles to knees. Little white pim ples farmed which con tamed a watery fluid, and upon scratching would leave burning sensation, growing worse all the time. The ccrema scattered and my anna and limbs got ao bad, and discharged so much watery fluid that my clothes were wet all the time. I had to keep my limbs wrapped in oiled silk. " I began using Cuticura Soap and Ointment and they gave me great relief, and after using three cakes of Soap and six boxes of Ointment I was healed."
