Goldendale Sentinel: There 10 LITTLE
town situated up in Franklin county,
about eighteen or twenty miles north Of
Pasco, on the Northern Pacific railroad,
called at the present time Eltopia, but Il
was not always called 90, and about the
only thing Of interest in connection with
the place now, 90 far a. we know, Is the
origin Of It's name. The story goes that
some time before the Northern Pacific
built through that country q party were
travelling along and night overlook them
In barren waste Of sand, where there
was neither wood nor water. But they
were compelled TO camp, % Il was useless
for them 10 travel at night in search Of
either. The result was that they were
moved to name the camp, in true western
style after the most suggestive name that
presented itself, and In this instance IL
happened TO DO 'Hell-to-Pay." II went
by that name until the Northern came
along some years later, and In their char
acteristic modesty, modified the name to
"Eltopay," but now the name stands out
In bold relief on the maps Of the country,
Ethiopia"

Fruit tree swindlers are again infesting
the country. The scheme now in hand Is
TO furnish o farmer with 90 many dollars
worth Of trees-say s5OO-free Of charge.
The farmer Is to plant, take proper care Of
these trees and to deliver to the agent
one-haf the profit for ten or twelve
years. But u the farm is sold during this
time, the trees are TO be paid for at the
price areed upon; and as an evidence Of
good faith the farmer gives bond to that
effect In that amount. So far there
d no fraud, but in q short time .
man comes along admires the appear
ance Of the farm and tries 70 buy II. The
price Is finally agreed upon, and the
farmer Is to furnish . clear title to the
land. OF course the bond has been re.
corded, and 10 secure the sale Is promptly
paid. And afssr the fruit tree agent has
been disposed :oi, the farmer tsfIs Dc
his supposed purchaser, but alasl the
bird has flown, and he goes home q sad

The children Of the N. E. Sunday
school, under the care Of their energetic
superintendent, Mr.. Morgan, enjoyed o
picnic "wednesday, Aug. list, long to be
remembered. They assembled ct the M.
Z. house Of worship at 10 Q. m, where
eonveyances were provided TO take them
70 the residence Of Captain and Mrs.
Thomas, near the southeast suburbs Of
the city. There the house, porches, easy
chairs, hammocks and shade trees were
an ct the disposal Of the little people. On
the lovely little lake In front Of the house
was . beautiful blue row boat, and each
little fellow had chance to have q ride.
Roscoe and Jimmie Thomas spent the
entiEe day rowing for The crowd. We
wondered at their endurance, and Still
more at their unselhshness, for they must
have been very tired. One friend brought
wagon load Of melons for the children,
and . bountiful table was spread In the
yard north Of the house, where the chill
dFen were served hrlt iFom The very best
In each basket, and aflerwards the grown
people were seated % bountilul dinner.
Later In the day re eFsamWaS served 70
