THE UNION LEAGUE.
The Republican Club Receives the
President Last Night.

The Union League headquarters on
Second street presented a gay and
highly artistic appearance last evening.
The deft and skillful hands of several
ladies converted the main room into a
veritable bower of beauty. During the
afternoon Mrs. Charles Gorham, Mrs.
Davis OF the Carey floral store, Mrs. E.
w. Kinsey, Mrs. A. B. Conrad, Mrs.
Mary Kinsey, Mrs. Fred Eaton and
Mrs. Marchant assisted in decorating
the rooms. The ladies OF Pomona sent
in bounteous supplies of oranges, vines,
cut flowers and other delicacies to the
Union club.
The stage in the main ball was banked
with lilies on the sides, the corner pieces
being made up of geraniums. Against
the wall in the rear of the stage was an
immense shield made of white roses,
pinks and heliotropes. The red strips
extending from one end of the shield to
the other were made of carnations bor-
dered with red roses, filled between
with white roses.
The arches were decorated with
cypress, roses and verbenas, the outside
arches being trimmed with acacia. In
the center of the room was a
table of oranges sent IN from
Pomona. Suspended from the ceiling
were choice boquets of all varieties OF
flowers. The picture of President Har-
rison was decorated with acacia and
orange blossoms. The picture of Vice.
President Morton was surrounded with
wreath, while Governor Markham's s
picture was decorated with Markham
AL nth
potted plants. Mrs. Josephine Burns
sent in several baskets of choice flowers.
Altogether the floral decorations were
admirable,
The presidential party arrived at the
Union League rooms at $3.50 O'Clock,
and was received by the officers of the
club. The members of the club and
guests were introduced to President
Harrison, and an informal talk followed
for several minutes, 'after which the
president left for the hotel; several Of
the party remained, however. Later
on Mayor Hazard introduced John Wan.
amaker, the postmaster-general.

which, Of course, is odious to the anti
progressive Progress.
Moreover there is no distress here
concerning the alleged filling up of
the harbor by the Nooksack river.
That idea is preposterous, and had its
origin in the inventive genius of some
persons at Whatcom, who evolved 1t
for the simple purpose of endeavoring
to annoy some prominent business
men and pioneers of Fairhaven, who
own a log-boom at the mouth OF the
Nooksack river, and which would be
lost If tho mouth of the river should
be changed, a performance that Is
about as probable as that Fidalgt
island should be thrown into Swine

HON. j. S. GARRISON

The people Of Bellingham bay who
met Hon. j. 5. Clarkson on his visit
to these cities last summer, will recall
his pleasant face and manner, his en-
thusiasm about this region, and his
lattering predictions as to the future
of these cities. This is the gentleman,
who was lately first assistant post
master-general, now president of the
Republican National League, and sue
ceeds Hon. Matt |. Quay as the chair
man of the national Republican com
mittee. That he is the right man in the
right place, wherever he becomes in
cumbent, has always proven itself.
Mr.. Clarkson was born at BrOokyille,
Ind, May II, 1912, and is consequently
in his fiftieth year. His education
was obtained in the district school anC
in his fathers Office, where, at the
age of seven years, he began to SCI
type.
When IA years of age he went Il
Iowa with his parents. The neares
house to the ClarksOn homestead wa
thirty-fve miles away. At the age o
nineteen he began teaching schoo
in winter, passing the summer help
ing on the farm, but in 1876 begal
work as a cOmpOsitor on the low
State Register at Des Moines.
He arose to be editorial writer an
in time he and his brother, Richar
z. Clarkson, bought the paper, whic
they still own. Mr.. ClarksOn ha
been several times chosen as dele
gate to the National Republican cor
ventions and has also been membe
OF the National committee.

ground wasn't worth so much per acre
at the time he acquired it as 1t Is per
foot now. Some gentlemen OF this
city, Of whom he was not one, estab-
lished here a daily newspaper. That
paper has been printed every day since
by the thousands, and it has gone
abroad throughout the world. 1t has
spoken with all the eloquence, earnest
ness, zeal and argument that its

advantages Of Fairhaven, the resour-
ces Of the region, the enterprise OF its
people, the splendid character of its
population, the beauty of its situation,
the success of its undertakings, the
marvelousness OF its growth, the
healthfulness of its location. In
short, in thousands Of ways, that
daily newspaper has ceaselessly
worked for the advancement of Fair
haven and with no little success. Ii
has championed every move for the
good of the people; it has fought fol
these men and their public moves; II
has helped to build the city, anC

TO ALL OF HIS KIND

A few days ago a citizen of Fair
haven who, has grown rich with this
city's growth, and entirely by that
means, sent very laconic, and what
was intended to be very sarcastic
note to the manager of the HERALD,
in which he said, "Stop my paper from
this date. Cause, editorial on the
school question"
We propose to devote several inches
OF space to this text, not on account
of this subscriber stopping his paper
as he might have done that some time
ago without causing as much as rip
pie in the affairs of this journal, for
the reason that his nor any other
single subscription to any daily journal
pays for the paper, ink and press-work
that is done on it, There are dozens
OF subscriptions that run out or end
from numerous canses every day, and
dozens Of new ones begin. Hence he
is not likely to be missed. But we
take advantage Of the circumstance
"to point a moral and adorn a tale"
Here is a man who openly admits
that he desires to do something which
ne mistakingly supposes will injnre
the HERALD, because 1t presumes to
entertain some views on public ques-
ton with which he does not agree-and
what particular views he is offended
at we are not informed, and do not de-
sire to be, as 1t wouldn't make any diff
ference anyhow. The HERALD was
not established as a mirror of his
views or those of any other man or set
OF men. There are doubtless numer-
Gus other men who see things every
day in every newspaper they read with
which they do not agree, and IL all
were TO act as this man does in the
matter there would be no newspapers,
and then the world would be bereft
indeed. But in that event they would
all be just like him, and newspapers or
any other vehicle of reason would be
exceedingly useless anyhow.
III all the men and all the news
papers agreed there would be pretty
kettle of soup, would't there? Then
all men and all newspapers would be
democratic, republican, monarchical,
hierarchical, catholic, protestant,
mohamaden, heather, and what not,
or else the millennium would have
come and all Of us know that is not
here.
But aside from all this, which is
more or less preposterous, this man
who is very angry at the HERALD be-
cause it has contained some sentences
on public question with which he
does not agree, was, as we happen to
know, the possessor many months ago,
OF some ground where portion OF the
city If Fairhaven now stands. The

Mr.. Drysdale, the gentleman who es-
tablished the cannery at Semiahmoo spit,
near Blaine, says he is getting all the fish he
can handle and his pack will be up to the
capacity Of the establishment. His idea
for placing the cannery on the American
side, when he could have got as good a
site quarter of mile from the present
one, on the British side, was for the pur-
pose OF catering to the American market
with the Fraser river salmon, which is a
food fish superior to the Columbia salmon
and it was necessary for him to be on the
American side in order to supply the fish
to this market with the tariff off and thus
at a competing price.
