me Democratic Outra<e-The Hop Yield
Campaign Drums.
SHEHAIis, Sept. 1.-The notorious cases
OF assault on the minstrel hand az the
Democratic meeting, Saturday. we're thrown
out OF court this week because by some
oversight the complaining witnesses were
allowed TO leave the county before the trial
The trial for riot will not come of until the
new judicial system shall have come in
with the constitution.
Some OF the hop-growers have their crop
harvested, and those who have not are
hurrying their picking. In some localities
the yield is not quite as good as last year,
out most owners report larger crop. The
trouble now is about the price. but as much
pains Is being taken to cure the hops, of
which the quality is naturally excellent,
Lewis county hops will sell if any of them
do.
continuous stream of farm wagons are
hauling wheat to town. and the large flour
ing mill, with capacity of eighty barrels
Per day, is running day and night Lewis
county probably raises more wheat than all
the rest of Western Washington, but the
Chehaiis mill will take il all and more.
Good hay is selling here for SIG per ton.
but so great is the demand from the Sound
cities that the price is sliding upward, and
owners are holding for the increase. There
IS considerable here for sale yet The fruit
Weld has been good and the market is vel
stocked
The directors OF the Lewis County Fair
Association are in receipt of number of
inquiries from horse owners from abroad
about the speed programme and the fair
he .sats IL
quite anxious to get good horses here, aud
while the purses are not large. they are
enough to bring some good animals From
indications the fair will be largely attended,
and will be a splendid opportunity for own
ers of good horses and cattle TO show them.
Some good horses are coming from Ellens-
burg and some will be here from Oregon
The race track is being put in fine condi-
ton.
Pasco's special lumber train, which passed
through here yesterday, was not seen by
many people because of the short notice
given. The entire train was loaded
with Portland lumber, and each car
bore some motto or inscription to point
out Pasco's claim for the capital location.
1t is fact, however. that the people of this
county prefer Olympia TO any point east of
for Seattle than Ellensburg, Yakima
or Pasco. Olympia will receive the greater
portion of the vote OF Lewis county While
Chehalis is ready and willing TO give AS
much land and money and is well situated
for convenience of travel by present rail-
roads as well as prospective, we have
not the least idea that any western city
will be considered except Olympia. All

ern aspirants can be truly said of Chehalis.
Through some misunderstanding Judge
Turner was advertised to speak in Gen.
tralia Friday night, but he failed TO come.
A number of Chehalis ladies and gentle
men had gone down TO hear the judge, and
the Centralia people felt called upon TO
have a Republican meeting anyway. So
n. s. Buckner, of Centralia, opened with
a short speech. and was followed by An
earnest and argumentative address by \.
b. Coifman. of Chehaiis, who put in some
telling blows for the party. Mr.. ID. c. Mil
lett also of Chehalis. was then called out.
and surprised every one OF his nearest
friends by delivering highly numerous
but exceedingly interesting speech. J. I.
Forrest, OF Chehalis, closed the meeting
with an earnest appeal to all Republicans
to stand by the party and the audience dis
persed in the best of humor, feeling that
they had been well entertained.
The Lewis county Republican candidates
have spent the week addressing the people
at the various polling places, and came
home last night more confident OF success
than ever, They are unanimous in the
opinion that Lewis county will return her
biggest Republican majority this year.
Hon. j. Ii. Long, candidate for senator. re-
ports that he met :. II. Berry, the Demo
cratic candidate, while out. and invited
him TO meet in joint debate. but Mr.. Berry
declined. Democrats are making their
special effort to elect Berry, and will trade
him for ANYTHING. Their chances Of sue
cess are growing exceedingly thin. Berry
has become somewhat notorious by reason
Of publicly declaring he voted for the con-
siitutional provision which declares no
legislator shall accept or ride with free
pass on railroads or steamboats,. While the
records show he voted against the said
clause. He also makes great ado about his
record on the tide land question. when il is
fact that when the matter came up for
final passage he was ST his home without
leave
