'My name is McGee John Wesley Mc- Gee," the Visitor explained. . "I knew you well. Judge, in that distant past. But I left the state 42 yesrs ago, .and amnow a resident of Walla Walla. I went there before there was any Walla W1K, and have seen the city grow from noth ing up to its present population of 12,000. And we expect to have 24,000 soon. All these new fangled things coming around will help the city's growth new rail roads, electric lines going everywhere, just what we need, just what builds up cities." v The two old friends then fell into rem iniscences, and it was Interesting to hear them chat.

His wife died a year ago, and his newly wedded son lives with him. A CONVENIENCE FOR . WEARERS OF EYEGLASSES Jaeger Bros., jewelers and opticians, 290 Morrison street, are showing a novelty that has come to fill a long-felt want to wearers of eye-glasses, and that is des tined to become Immensely popular. The device consists of two wires mode in the shape of the temples of an ordinary pair of spectacles, bent at one end to fit snug ly ovr the ear; the other end of the wire is cunningly fashioned into a sort of clip spring, that when pressed over the outer aides of the eye-glass, holds to it firmly. Having fixed one to each lense , of the eye-glass the wearier has at once a pair of nose glasses Instantly transformed into a pair of spectacles, temples and all. Wearers of eye-glasses, or noea glasses, as they are sometimes called, who Indulge In out of door sports In nnur-ir, or who take vigorous exercises that Induces para- , a pioneer of the East Side, had the honor of coming to the rescue, and promised to give 110 addition to the amount which he had already subscribed, and thus com pleted the raising of the amount neaded.
