NEW FORM OF CITY
GOVERNMENT COMING.
Commercial Club of the Garden City
Considering the ApopUon of the
Most Progressive System of Munici
pal Government Known.
That Walla Walla adopt the Galves
ton form of city government wyi more
than likely be the recommendation of
the Commercial club of this city, says
the Walla Walla Statesman. The mat
ter was brought up in the meeting of
that organization last night by George
Ludwigs, who referred to an article
lately appearing in "Success."
A lively discussion and airing of
opinions at once followed the mention
of the matter and everyone who was
conversant with the form of munici
pal rule which has worked so success
fully iu Galveston, where it was Intro-
Aared, and in Memphis, Des Moines
sad other places, was heartily in favor
of the adoption of the new system.
"The present form of government
we have In this city is old and obso
lete," said Vice President Dement,
who was presiding. "We need an up-to-date
form of city government."
This expression seemed to voice the
aenttment? of everyone present. Sev
era spoke along the same line and
all were of the opinion that the new
aystem should be tried here. The
matter was disposed of by a motion
to have the secretary make a digest
of this municipal control ana report
to the Commercial club for action at
the next meeting.
When the census Is taken to ascer
tain whether or not Walla Walla is
to come out of the backwoods and be
no longer a village, but a first-class
dty. this matter will more than like
ly be carried out. There Is no doubt
an Director Klrkman of the club said
tost night, that Walla Walla has and
can show. 25,000 inhabitant?, taking
them ss do Seattle and Portland.
ThlR census will be surely taken this
summer, and application be made for
a new cnarter. When this Is granted
If an effort will be made on the part
of those who favor the Galveston sys
tem, to have It Introduced here, In all
probability. It will be tried.

Mrs. Laura McClure, living at 1313
Madison avenue, La Grande, Ore.,
pays: "I have used Doan's Kidney
Pills off and on for three or four
years and the best possible results
have always been obtained. Any over
exertion or the contraction of a cold

and at such times by kidneys would

Another apparent unfairness was
shown toward Baker City by the
method of routing passengers from
Portland to Burns, says the Baker City
Herald. It Is claimed that In order
to secure as much money as possible
out of the passengers, the road rends
them to Burns by way of Ontario and
Vale instead of via Baker and Austin
But the railroad would probably lose
$3 by sending passengers through Ba
ker City so the patron has to pay out
more money, spend more time and
suffer great Inconvenience of travel.
Those who are familiar with condi
tions state that the trip to Burns can
be made much quicker from Baker
City, the distance to be traveled by
stage m much less and the Inconven
iences are not so great as when going
by way of Ontario. Almost 12 hours
Is saved In the trip to Burns by way
of Baker City and the traveler Is given
more time to rest between stages of
the Journey. But the passenger or his
romfort evidently Is not taken Into
consideration.
Real love, after all, Is nothing much
hut giving away the cruat that we
hunger for ourselves.

OIIDT USE SISAL
WOOL BUYERS REFUSE
TO TAKE COMMON TWINE
All (lie Leading Firms Decline to Buy
Fleeces Tied With the Old Kind of
Wool Twine Sheepmen Are Warn
ed In Time to Give Them an Oppor
tunity to Change.
J. E. Clinton, jr., local represen
tative of a Boston wool buying house,
has received a communication, the
contents of which are the utmost im
portance to wool growers of Idaho
since they relate to the preparation
of the fleeces for market and tell lh
what condition some of the houses
will hereafter receive wool, says the
Boise Statesman. The communica
tion follows:
"For many years past the wool
merchants of the United States have
made ineffectual efforts to Induce the
wool growers to improve their meth
ods in preparing the wool for mar
ket. One of the principal abuses is
the tying up of fleeces with sisal
twine, or so-called binder twine. The
loose fibre from the twine clings to
the wool throughout all the processee
of manufacture and causes Imperfect
goods and consequent loss.
"We believe If this serious matter
is called to the attention of growers
they will cooperate with the dealers
and discontinue the practice of tying
their wool with such twine aa de-
schlbed, thereby putting American
wools In closer competition with those
of foreign countries.
"We, the undersigned, hereby agree
to at once notify all our correspond
ents and buyers In the fleece wool
section that we shall not accept wool
tied with sisal twine nor wool that
Is tied with an undue amount of
srlng, as merchandise.

O. R. & N. MAY TICKET
THROUGH TO THE SOUND
IMMMMte Commerce fniiindssloii
Wlthdrewi Its Objection to tlie Sale
of Tickets Via Portland to Puget
Sound Point O. R. it N. Officers
Attain Opened on the Sound
llouteseeker Movement Is Light
ThH Year.
The Portland gateway has been
open since April 9, but It Is not be
lieved the result will be to greatly in
crease the colonist movement, says
the Oregon Sunday Journal. The
fact Is that there Is a light movement
of homeseeker truvel this spring from
the east, owing to the financial con
ditions that preceded the opening of
sale dates, March 1.
Action on the part of J. C. Stubbs,
traffic director of the Harriman lines,
resulted in remedying the trouble
that caused the closing of the gate
way. The Union Pacific railroad
company modified the manner of Is
suing Its passenger tariffs, and the
Interstate commerce withdrew Its ob
jections to the sale of through tick
ets from Union Pacific territory via
Portland to points north on the
Northern Pacific.
Objection to Method.
General Passenger Agent William
McMurray of the Harriman lines, has
Just received word that the Interstate
commerce commission has approved
of the resumption of sale of tickets to
and from Puget sound via Portland.
Inquiry developed that the commis
sion's objection was directed to the
method of tariff publication rather
than the matter Itself.
When the objection of the Inter
state commission was brought to the
attention of J. C. Stubbs, traffic di
rector of the Harriman lines, that of
ficial ordered the immediate with
drawal of the old tariffs until the
railway company could ascertain the
exact wishes, and on and after March
15 the Harriman lines and connections
will resume the sale of tickets from
Puget sound points via Huntington
and Portland to the east as hereto
fore. This arrangement was made
effective westbound via Huntington
and Portland April 9.
Take on Dlsmlascd Men.
John M. Scott, assistant general
passenger agent, who went to Puget
sound and reduced the working forces
In the passenger department there,
and closed the Olympla office of the
company, will go back over the!
ground immediately and restore to
their former positions the men who
are available. Four men will resume i
work in the Seattle office, three in
the Tacoma office, and one In the
Olympla office.
The principal reason assigned for
the falling off of homeseeker travel
over the transcontinental lines to the
entire Pacific coast this spring is that
eastern farmers and men of property
who were last fall contemplating re
moval o the coast, found that they
could not readily dispose of their
property to advantage, and they are
awnltlng more favorable conditions
of the money markets.
STOP SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS.
Andobon Societies Create Sen 1 1 men
AgniiiNt "Bloody" Hats for Wo
men. New York. April 13. Less bird
blood has been spilled to decorate the
Easter bonnets of American women
this year than ever In recent history.
It was declared by experts In this city
today. Based on 'careful examination
of the millinery market as well as re
ports from agents throughout the
country, this conclusion was an
nounced at the headquarters of the
National Association of Audobon so
cieties. "?f
With the help of the million women
members of the National Federation
of Women's clubs and other organi
zations, the Audobon workers promise
to 'keep up their fight against this, f
fashionable form of bird butchery till
reparation for Easter Sunday n.o
longer means a massacre of breeding
birds.
That a minority among tho women
of this country still demands the
bloody scalps of the mother heron for
aigrettes Is shown by the Illicit and
secret traffic In these plumes which
officers of the Audobon association
nssert Is today being conducted by th
plume hunters.
Although the Easter carnage nmong
this sightly species has practically
exterminated It In all of Its old haunts
In the United States, sections of South
America are now being secretly scour
ed, as well aa southern Europe, Afri
ca and Asia, for this nuptial plume of
the breeding heron. Balked In their

rapsatad attempts to secure legisla

FREIGHT IJUSINKSS BETTER.
Average of 75 Gar Per Day laHs
Westward Through Iia Grande.
Railroad freight hualnes8 has been
on a steady Increase the past fow
weeks, says tho La Grande Star. The
principal part of the business Is west
ward. It la stated at the O. R. & N.
headquarters that nn average of 75
rnrs of through westbound freight pass
through La Grande every day.
There Is some eastward movement
of lumber, but not In the quantities
that this part of the road has been
accustomed to handle. If there were
the same proportional amount of bus
iness toward the east that there la now
westward hound, the O. It. & N. would
be doing the biggest freight business
In Its history.
The amount of westbound travel
that was expected to get In motion on
the strength of the spring colonist
rates. Is a disappointment. There are
now scarcely more than coach loads,
where there were train loads of home
seekers last year.
The railroad men In the La Grande
offices assert as a positive fact that
there Is now more travel toward the
ont than'iere Is toward the west.
The cause of this unusual and unex
pected condition Is ascribed to the
hard times In the east.
Throughout the section of country
from whlhc the homeseeker travel Is
principally drawn there is still a
stringency and notwithstanding the
cheap fares, the proportion of those
who have money to travel la more
limited than heretofore.
On the other hand, the coast people
do not feel the stringency to any unu
sual extent and they have money with
which to travel. This is given as the
only explanation of tho present situ
ation In which more people are going
east than there are persons oming
west.
