WY "suo Tue oiscONeFy that the
were not alone in the river. The bod,
was that OF very large man, but Of vba
complexion could not be told on accoup
oil decomposition. II had probably bee,
10 the river for two months. No identi
hcation was possible, and the corpse wa
devoid Of covering or clothing save hesy,
wooden undershirt Of coarse texture-an,
apair OF thick'soled boots. The man wa,
probably a member Of the Coxey army
and might have been one Of those drown
from the raft which attempted the tri,
from Ellensburgh. The body was burieS
on Sunday, the coroner holding no in
quest.
That enterprise pays was evidenced b,
the large business done by Mr.. Thoma
Lund at "The Alfalfa" on the Fourth
In addition to the large subscription giver
by Mr.. Lund for the celebration he mad,
liberal expenditure for decorations, ant
under the directions OF Mr.. J. Z. Ryar
that model resort was made 30 attractive,
that all day long il was thronged with
thirsty people partaking Of these artistic
ally prepared beverages for which "Th,
Alfalfa" has become Justly noted
Oranges, lemons, pineapples and othel
fruits disappeared under the def manip
ulations Of that prince Of mixologists
Charley Lake, and Messrs. Ryan and
Lund, in marvellous way, and while all
the patrons OF THE Alfalfa" were well
pleased Mr.. Lund could not help but bt
satisfied for the returns exceeded all ex
pectations and wildly recalled the good
old days when dollars didn't look a,
large as cart wheels.
Speaking Of roads that were over,
flowed recently by the Yakima river
the one in the vicinity Of the bridge
at the Mckee is in terrible
condition. The river carried some
very good sized "nigger-heads" down
with its swift current, and the county
hired all the idle men in
to fill q bottomless hole with an.
other supply OF the same-and, since the
water has subsidized, the whole road bed
IL one mass OF rock, over which even q
heavy farmers wagon is with difficulty
irawf. Lighter vehicles and expensive
carriages are racked almost into pieces by
The jolting. This road should be imme-
1iately repaired.
q. A. Graham isn't at all enthusiastic
over the strikes. He had rented his
house for a couple of months, stored
everything away, and had spent the last
night Mrs. Graham expected to be in the
;ity during the summer with the family
IF J. B. Pugsley. The strike came on the
next morning-and Mr.. and Mrs. Graham
are still quartered at Mr.. Pugsley's, their
residence being occupied.
II the idea advanced by the two weeks
council should prevail, and Marshal Ed
Lyon qualities as street commissioner,
hen it is to be hoped that he will find
some method OF removing the boulders
rom Chestnut street betSee Front and
First. One pays the price OF a vehicle
or repairs every time one drives over it.
It was boys play to fix it as it now is in
he first place.

'ator at this point, has been granted a

ABSENCE.
Andrew Jackson Miller, Of Thurston
county, and W. H. Abel, of Montesano,
,wo delegates to the populist convention

nome on Sunday night, intending to walk
t. This is hardly in line with Coxey
army practice, and deserves commenda-
ion.
Chester, the twelve-year-old son Of J..
l.. Rosenfeld, was run over by a rider on
Monday evening about s 80 and severely
bruised. Tie boy was playing in the
'oad and could not get out of the way Of

Rosenfeld. No serious results will follow.
Capt. Dunn, OF Parker Bottom, says
hat fruit will be ready for shipment from
his neighborhood within three weeks.
By the way, how fortunate it is that the
big strike did not come on month later.
The agony may all be over by Aug. /.
An alarm OF fire on Saturday called out
the department, but their presence was
found unnecessary. A large conf1agra-
ton had been "nipped i the bud by the

where it originated.
