Pascos capers, and he further said that
Ellensburgh might also lose the shops,
and that the end OF the division may be
changed to Gle Elum or some point near
Easton-the beginning OF the mountain
road. The railroad managers have agi-
tated this move several times. as being
desirable from geographical and topo-
graphical point Of view. but that no change
had been made out of consideration for
the people Of Ellensburgh; but that now
these bonds Of forbearance and friendship
were not as strong as formerly, owing to
aggressive actions and the rabid senti-
ments expressed by citizens towards the
road and the company.
The republican county central commit.
tee held meeting at the Office OF Chair.
man John Reed on Thursday afternoon,
and all arrangements we're perfected for
the coming convention. The members
Of the committee who were present num-
bered ten. 1t was determined to call the
county convention for September /, at 2
p. M; and, as September falls upon a
Saturday, 1t is recommended that the
primaries in each precinct be held the
Saturday previous. The apportionment
Of delegates was based upon the vote cast
for Calhoun for presidential elecior in
'92, and gives representation Of one del
egate for each Standardization votes cast.
Under this plan, North Yakima is emit.
tied to IL delegates. There are twenty
precincts in the county--three more than
ever before, the latter being Sunnyside,
Zillah and Mabton. The full representa-.
ton at the convention will be GA upon the
above basis.
Schlodtfeldt Bros, who own brewery
at Elensburgh and another at Roslyn,
have under contemplation the moving Of
one OF these plants to Yakima. What
Yakima wants in this line. II it wants
anything, is a first-class establishment
that will be able to compete in the quail
ity Of it's product with anything in the
market. We have the water, hops and
barley, and all that is now needed is a
first-class brewer and improved machin-
cry. The establishment OF some antedi-
luvian plant here will only result in de-
laying the building Of a brewery which
would prove of commercial advantage.
Some queer things may be developed
in settling up the estate Of the gambler
Bsgwell. He left memoranda behind
regarding his career as political striker
on financial basis, and its publication
in connection with "secret" history Of
local deals would make most interesting
reading. A financial exhibit Of the sums
received, and from whom, and the sums
paid and to whom, would not be without
its lesson in practical politics.
A. B. Weed has been selected as mem
Der OF the republican state central COM
mittee, vice r. X. Nichols, who has re-
moved to California. Mr.. Nichols was

ton has been filled by the appointment

paign on a smelling mission for the Post.
Intelligencer.
f. c. Burlingame returned on Wednes-
day from The Dalles, and reports that all
the laborers who have been engaged in
repairing the food damages to the Union
Pacific road in the vicinity of Bonneville
have gone off on strike. Mr.. Burlin-
game is one Of the contractors on this
work and it gives him an unsought for
vacation.
Alexander Reid, the man arrested by
Deputy Dilley at Wenatchee on a charge
Of stealing horses last week from Prof.
Lawrence and Albert Hall, was placed
under $500 bonds ct bis preliminary hear
ing before Justice Clark Saturday. He
could not raise the amount, and now
languishes.
The Salvation Army in this division is
endeavoring to establish home for fallen
women somewhere in Washington-pos-
sibly at Seattle. Staff Captain Morton
and wife, of Seattle, are expected in this
city about August l6 to conduct meetings
for the raising of money to that end.
On July 18th the county auditor
granted marriage license to G. p. For.
sythe and Miss Matte Creason, both of
Prosser. The young lady is the daughter
OF Henry w. Creas on. who for a number
OF years represented the lower end of the
county on the board of county commits
sioners.
The two local lodges of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows will vote, at their
meetings held early in August. on the
proposition of consolidating, thereby
making one large and powerful lodge
instead of two struggling ones. 1t is
believed that consolidation will carry
without much opposition, which will give
the consolidated lodge a membership of
about 80.
Messrs. Pulley and Higgins are here
from Bucoda with their families and
awaiting the arrival of their stock OF gen.
eral merchandise, which is tied up some
where along the road by the strike.
