shot at by Gen. Barrundia's daughter, was

Semple. The Samples we're all democrats
from Andrew Jackson's time and were
influential in politics. Gen. Semple was at
one time minister to BogoJa, South Amer

gene Semple drifted into Washington terri
tory, and was prominent enough to be APP
pointed governor Of the territory by Presi-
dent Cleveland.

came a republican and ran for lieutenant
governor, to which office he was elected
He was delegate to various political con-
ventions, and was on the Harrison and Nor
ton electoral ticket in 1885. He was ap-
pointed as messenger to carry the electoral
vote to Washington. While there he put
in soms good work for himself He had
made trip or two to Central America and
was said 70 be good Spanish scholar. At
least he himself said it, and as he was never
put through civil service examination no
one was able TO deny it, The California
congressman backed up his application, and
he had political standing enough to get
the missioa he wanted. His supposed
knowledge of Spanish and his familiarity
with Central American affairs were strong
points urged in his behalf.

Mrs. r. K. Mclaughlin of this city, who
was a daughter of Gov. Bond, the first
chief executive of the state of Illinois, He

The saw mill of the Hotter Lumber
company near Monarch has turned out
several immense stacks of lumber this
spring. Mr.. Wegner is about to establish
alumber yard at Armington and another
at Mohdrch.
Evan S. McCord, one of the bench land
farmers, finished seeding his grain fields
yesterday. He expects a good crop this
year.
Iaa Myers Il Co.'s saw mill is turning
out 3 5000 feet of lumber daily and still
they cannot keep up with the orders
They have just sent several car loads OF
lumber to the dam.
All the ties for the Parsons electric
street rallwuy-a sufficient number to lay
about four miles of road will lie on the
ground in the next ten days. The Black
foot Milling company of Missoula are
saving them.
Mr.. Gaylord will soon open a whole
sale butter and egg store in the basement
under Armstrong; feed store ON Central
avenue. He is now busy building II cold
storage room with a capacity of two car
loads. This fills a needed want and our
merchants may find 1t to their interest to
p~atronize this house.
VIM. Williams Of the Eclipse stables,
has been smiling for two days. His fine
mare Bess, with a record of 2:21, foaled a
fine colt sired by Ben Lomond, 1868.
Bess is by Sun Dance, 1928 and he is a
direct descendant from Hamhletsnian.
Ben Lomond traces his lineage directly
to Hambletonian stock, $ this colt is of
fine percentage. 1t is probably the best bred
colt ever born in Cascade county. Mr..
Williams has been offered $500 for it
several times but proposes to keep it for
training.
