IsH AMERICA, June 1.-Two weeks
ago to-day we were in Old Mexico;
to-day We are in the British pro-
vince. At Tacoma and Seattle we
were entertained royalty. They are
two of the very finest cities we have
visited, Fenley Bryan and Willard
Carroll are located in Tacoma and
are with us on this side excursion.
Mr.. Bryan is deservedly enjoying
fine law practice and Willard is
manager of large shoe house in
the city. Both are very popular with
all who know them.
The National Editorial Associa-
ton is entitled to five delegates to
the Inter- National Convention to be
held in Toronto, Canada. Col.

the National Editorial Association,
has appointed R. M. White, of the
LEDGER, one of the five delegates to
represent the United States Press
Association at that Convention.
We truly appreciate this compli-
ment.
Our trip up the Columbia river
was most enjoyable. Mount Hood
is the tallest attraction in this part
of the world; some of the liars are
little taller. When we talk about
liars we mean those who blow about
the big size of what is grown and
the small of size of what is not
grown, etc. If Kelley could cure

Cauthorn is bright youngiournalist
and is appreciated for his true merit
by his employees.

Fire Brick Works are burned. This

any Of its enterprises, and must
have more of it, if it expects to be a
