the Commercial club of thl ulty, says
. tha Walla, Walla Statesman. 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.

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 .'"'

To secure British cental, not .only
for the large demands of the railway
builders, but also for the smaller de
