(Staff Correspondence.)
Walla Walla. Wash.. May 4. This
city Is In the hands of a friendly en
emy today. Pendleton has taken full
possession, the penitentiary not ex
cluded. The trip of tho Pendleton
business men and thell- wives up
through tho east end of Umatilla
county was one triumphal tour. En
thuslastic scenes were enacted at
every town visited and tho excursion
ists added to their numbers at Adams,
Athena and Weston so that nearly 100
people were crowded Into the three
coaches and buffet car composing the
pedal train when It pulled Into this
station.
About 140 people were on the train
when It left the Pendleton depot this
morning at 8 o'clock, 15 minutes be
hind the schedule. The first Btop was
made at Adams and the train was
mot at the depot by a goodly number
of the Inhabitants of one of Pendle
ton's nearest neighbors. The Pendle
ton band played, publicity ribbons
were distributed, a meeting was held,
brief speeches were made and then the
visitors left for Athena,
Cordial Welcome Accorded.
A full hour was spent in this place
and it was here that the largest
crowd of tho entire trip thus far, with
thq, exception of Walla Walla, was
found. Tho reception accorded the
visitors by the Athena Commercial
association and the citizens generally
was cordial and enthusiastic In the
fullest sense of tho word.
It wns nfter 10 o'clock when the
train finally pulled out of the Athena
yards for tho Weston spur where the
last stop was made before Walla
Walla was reached. A meeting was
held In tho opera house and Pendle
ton's support of the Eastern Oregon
state normal school was pledged anew.
As at Adams and Athena so here
there was no mistaking the cordiality
of the welcome extended. Tho resi
dents of the normal school town turn
ed out en masse.
So pleasant were the stops at each
place and with such difficulty did
tho visitors take their departure that
It was noon when the big train with
the banners "Pendleton Publicity for
AH" pulled Into the Garden City de
pot. Again It was demonstrated that
It was no surprise party, for Walla
Walla was ready and waiting for the
Invasion.
Wnlla Walla Enthusiastic. (
Chairman T. M. Hanger of the re-
ccptlon committee had everything In
readiness for tho visitors and a large
delegation of Walla Walla business
men were on hand to extend the glad
hand of good fellowship. A parade
was formed with the Walla Walla and
Pendleton bands both in line and the
enthuslastls were escorted to the Odd
Fellows Temple where the banquet
was served by the Woman's Park
club. Everyone seemed to be making
a special effort to outdo the hospi
tality of the Pendleton people on the
occasion of tho Walla Walla excur
sion, April II.
The weather man had threatened
to spoil the day and It. Is said that It
was due to the prayers and entreaties
of Publicity Manager Meacham that
SS
MEN

tne storm clouds were persuaded ton
withhold their threatened deluge.
On the way to the banquet hall, a
stop was made at the Walla Walla
Commercial club rooms where rib
bon badges were exchanged. Presi
dent J. C. Scott of the Commercial
club presided at the banquet. The
address of welcome was delivered by
Attorney F. A. Garrecht, while Mayor
Tauslck turned over the keys of the
city.
'Pendleton" Apjicars Everywhere.
It seemed that practically every
business house In the city presented
an array of streamers, bearing the
one word "Pendleton," the publicity
department having worked late fast
night In order to have these banners
In readiness. These local men who
occupied places In the parade also
wore these as a token of good fellow
ship and good will, while each of the
visitors .were presented with one as
a souvenir of the occasion.
One of the most enjoyable features
of the visit was the auto tour to the
famous Blalock orchard tracts where
one of the big artesian wlls was per
mitted to "gush" for the benefit of the
visitors The Walla Walla Meat and
Cold Storage plant, said to be one of
the largest and best In the west, was
also visited. The state penitentiary,
Whitmnn college. Fort Walla Walia
and the city park are said to be on
the list of places to be viewed yet this
afternoon if the time allowed for the
visit w 111 permit.
Tho homeward trip is due to start

ings held In eachjyjjthese places. The
