Walla Walla valley notes and Dixon developments
A Dixon Illinois column reprints a Walla Walla Territory edition praising the valley’s sixteenth page description and fruit yields. It discusses local water from the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk site, a planned Dixon milk train, gymnasium needs, and warnings on disease disinfection. It also covers Ashton Press criticism of county pauper aid, ash disposal, a Dixon family hit by diphtheria, and a Joliet piano pen remark.
