The proposed reconstruction OF Switzer's

lind that it would be ill.advised to put

Several bicyclists made the journey
from this city to Simcoe station on Sun
LAY in the hope of witnessing a salmon
iance. They had guide take them to h
teepee near the Simcoe bridge over the
Yakima and wore themselves out on the
j,urney-only to find that the rumored
dance was a thing of history. 1t had
happened some time before.
A sensation that was fizzle before it
was given to the public was that pertain
ing to the marriage of Celestial with a
10 year old American girl. The whole
story originated in school girl gossip and
jokes-and there never was any founda-
lion for the rumor that the McGinnis girl
had any intention or was being coerced
into marrying the Chinaman.
Thomas Musgrove, OF Walla Walla,
has been appointed warden of the state
penitentiary, effectually putting to rest
The aspirations of "Our Dan" in that d.
rection. The appointee is local pollti-
cian OF some weight and was strongly en-
,Iorsed by his home people. There were
y candidates for the position and Mus
grove was successful on the first ballot.
Manager Mackinnon has booked the
Mozart Symphony club for Mason's, on
Wednesday evening, May /. This COM
pany is under the same management as
was M. Musin, whose appearance in Yak
ina some months ago gave such general
satisfaction. The prices to be charged
for the coming organization are such
small ones as will undoubtedly result in
the attendance of large crowd. The
rates have been fixed at %, so and 70
cents.
AS an instance OF the progressiveness
of this valley and its people, the state
nent of f. G. Burlingame as to his ditch
proposition is pertinent. He remarked
TO friend on the avenue one day last
week that when he started to build his
20 miles of ditch he had in his pocket
only 81 and no other coin. Today he
has completed almost half of the canal,
has spent over $4,000 and owes but little
more than $4,000. 1t isn't everybody
who has the consummate nerve of Bur
lingame; but the case is an interesting
une, surely, and fully illustrates how
things are sometimes managed in the
treat northwest.
County Clerk Brown has caused small
,yclone to permeate the atmosphere sur
rounding the court house-and the COM
motion is directly attributable to the legis-
lative session just closed at Olympia.
Clerk Brown asseverates that, unless he
is nightly mistaken, the new jury law
had tackled upon its nethermost extremity
an emergency clause and is therefore now
in full force and effect. II that be true the
jury list of 100, drawn by the county
com missioners in February, is abolished.
Again, if that be true, how much validity
would obtain from the findings of the
April term contingent OF the last drawn
100? Under the new law 500 names are
placed in box, and a name once drawn
cannot again be used, but the slips bear.
