The lire department had a long run this about 10:30, a straw Are in the street at the corner of Chestnut and Catherine having alarmed the residents of the neighborhood. By the time the department arrived the blaze had spent its fury, and the run had been made for nothing. On the bulletin boards at the court house and at the postoffice will be noticed a report of the meeting of the board of county commissioners, posted to give the people notice of the action of the board. The report is carefully typewritten, and constitutes the mat- ter usually furnished the newspapers for publication. On account of the expense attached to the work in the newspapers the commissioners will try the experiment of posting the no- tice according to law.

Hill, of the firm of Hill and Dickson, returned on the early morn- ing train Saturday from Wallula where he went for the purpose of cruising the arid! lands lying between Wallula an the mouth of Snake river, embracing township seven and eight, range thirty-one, and that part of township eight, range thirty lying east of the Columbia river. Mr. ; Hill stated to a reporter for the States- man that he made a thorough exam in. ation of these lands, and that they are Ti as good' if not superior; to the lands on either side of the Kennewick ditch on the west side of the Colum- bia The proposed irrigation ditch which, when completed will furnish water for about 12,000 acres of these lands is now being surveyed with a view to early completion of the same by the company that has it in charge »In Mr. Hill's' opinion these lands when covered by the proposed dilch will be as valuable as any of the irrigated lands in the Yakima or Kennewick districts, and the markets will be greatly superior on account of having two Competing lines of railroad in close proximity. When asked if there are any valuable lands subject to en- try in the townships mentioned, he replied that there are a few tracts, one of two of which are very ohoice, but that the greater part of the lands are already covered by desert land en- tries and contests. Mr. Hill thinks the reclamation of this vast amount of land will greatly add to the taxable property of Walla Walla county, and that in point of value the east side of the county will no longer be so top heavy.

WALLA WALLA NEATLY DEFEATED Ninth Cavalry Carried Honors off Sec- ond Streets Grounds Yesterday The Ninth Cavalry scored an easy victory over the amateurs yesterday afternoon. In a game fairly well at- tended, and quite interesting. At no time during the game did the amateur* show up equal to the boys from the fort, and it was not a surprise whei 'he game closed with a score of 11 lo In the first inning Aubin made a wild throw to "Babe" Brown, and in turn Brown tossed the ball over his shoulder and quit the game. Two men scored on the wild throw snd the unceremonious quitting of Brown. The matter received well merited crit- icism. The crowd was not large but it was enthusiastic, and the weather was ideal.

The failure was caused by an insufficiency of water to bring the pool up to the depth required. At the last hour some person or persons unknown turned the water from its accustomed channel and before it could be brought back into the park again, it was too late to attempt the dive. In spite of the large crowd which was turned away an attendance of over 500 en- joyed the concert by the Ninth Cavalry band. The high dive is postponed un- til next Sunday, August 2, when it will positively come off, as a tank is being prepared, lined with tin that will be brimming with water by Friday in readiness for the act Wednesday evening the regular dance will come off. A fine three months old black bear was added to the collection of ani- mals Sunday. The lake and Garrison creek exist only in name at the present but the former will soon be filled by the pow- er pump. FAMILY THEATER REOPENS. The people of Walla Walla will no- tice with pleasure that the Walla Walla Family theater which was pat- ronized so liberally this spring has again been opened. The first perform- ance will be tomorrow evening begin- ning at 8:30 o'clock. Previous to this the band wfll give a concert for one hour in front of the theater. The bill is an exceptionally strong one as will be noticed by the advertisement in this issue, eight stars constituting the aggregation.
