Tha mat- tor u brought up In tha meeting of U..t oi'-iiKltioa last night by George Ludwiga. who referred to an, article lately appearing In "Success." A lively discussion and air Ins of opinions at none Hollowed tha mention of the matter and everyone who waa conversant with (ho form of munlcl- pa rule which haa worked to success fully in OaUvaatoa, -where ft waa Inrro du U and in Memphis, Dea Moines and other place, waa heartily In favor of the adoption of the new system. "The present form of government wa have In. thlsjplty Is old and obso lete," said Vice President Pemnnt, who- was presiding. "W mm an up- to-date form of city government.' This expression seemed to voloa the ear timers of everyone) present. Sev eral spake, 'one the same line and all were o opinion that tha new system. eho...j be tried her. The matter wa,, disposed of. by a motion tn have the secretary make a digest of this municipal control and report to Commercial club for action at the rsf meeting." tViv.-a the census is taken to ascer tain- whether or not Walla Walla Is to come oat of the backwoods and be no longer a village, bat a first -class city, this matter will more than like ly be firt J oat. There Is no doubt, a I'L-Hor Klr&man of the club said last right., that Walla Walla has and can enow. 28.000 Inhabitants, taking usem as do Seattle and Portland. This census will be snrely taken this . rammer, and application be made for a new charter 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.

RAntrfhutan1 .1. Captain A. Crowe, yesterday after noon. Besides, an - agreement was be ddihg the biggest freight business In Ira history. ' Tha amount of westbound travel that was expected to get In motion on the strength of the' spring colonist rates, la a disappointment. There are now scarcely more than coach loads, where there were train loads ot home- seekers last year. The railroad men In the La Grande offices assert as a positive fact that there la now mora travel toward the east than there la toward the west, The cause of this unusual and unex pected condition Is ascribed to the hard tlmea In the east. Throughout the section of country from whlhe the horaeeeeker travel Is principally drawn there la still stringency and notwithstanding the cheap fares, the proportion ot those who have money to travel Is 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 the present situ atlon In which more people are going east than there are persona coming west ' "J .'"' CANADIAN PROGRESS.
