were used entirely in the decorations. 

 Sweet peas are holding their own and 

 will for weeks yet. This climate is su- 

 perb for them. Quantities of fine speci- 

 mens may be seen at any time in all 

 the stores. 



Many pretty exhibits of fruit, veg- 

 etables and grain were shown in the 

 store windows about town. The city 

 was elaborately decorated with flags and 

 bunting, and, electrically speaking, was 

 done to a finish. Surrounding sections of 

 the state sent exhibits, which were shown 

 in the street parades. Walla Walla had 

 a vacant corner on Eiverside and Mon- 

 roe, laid out in a miniature irrigated 

 orchard. At one side was a great geyser 

 driven by an invisible dynamo. From 

 the basin of the geyser a flume con- 

 nected with the irrigation ditches sup- 

 plied the water. Various kinds of ditches 

 were shown between the rows of trees, 

 demonstrating how the water is used on 

 a level or slope, and other intricacies of 

 the science. 



A street parade was given on Tuesday 

 afternoon, August, 10, and repeated on 

 Wednesday evening, showing a number 

 of fine floats which illustrated historical 

 events from the time of Indian possession 

 to the present day. Indians in war dress, 

 mounted, took the lead, followed by a 

 float decorated in tepee style; next a 

 canoe afloat, with Indian rowers. Then 

 civilization appeared, reproducing the 

 Lewis and Clark discovery, while the 

 immigrants, cowboys, miners and lumber- 

 men were each creditably represented. 

 A pioneer cottage developed to a bunga- 

 low as the float passed on, and soon a 

 carriage decorated with artificial morn- 

 ing glories appeared. Decorated autos 

 formed the rear guard. 



First prize was given to a fine, large 

 car decorated with artificial wistarias and 

 natural lavender and white peas. The 

 car proper was solid in wistarias; the 

 spokes also were decorated with these, 

 and wreaths adorned the lamps. Six 

 girls occupied the car. They carried lav- 

 ender and white silk Japanese umbrellas, 

 at the ends of whose ribs were showers 

 of gauze ribbon and sweet peas. Violet 

 electric lights marked the outlines of the 

 umbrellas. 



Second prize was given to a dark olive 

 green car, decorated solid with Bruant 

 geraniums and Shasta daisies. The can- 

 opy was covered with gypsophilas and 

 greens, with clusters of geraniums. 



Other well decorated cars were: One 

 in white peas and cedar boughs, with the 

 words "National Irrigation Congress" 

 done in yellow immortelles; and one in 

 Golden Glow and cedar boughs, with a 

 miner's pick and shovel done in white 

 peas; yellow ribbon completed the deco- 

 ration. 



Various Notes. 



The best things seen this week in the 

 stores and windows are roseum lilies 

 at the Spokane Florist Co.'s, valley of 

 extra quality at Miss Armstrong's, and 

 scarlet and America gladioli at Hoyt's. 

 Asters have no well established quality 

 yet.
