day night elected captain OF Troop c.,
to fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of F. X. Reed, who is now major
Of the battalion. The choice OF the troop
was well made as Mr. Scudder has given
much OF his time and attention to the
drill Of the members OF the organization
and it has been mainly through his efforts
that they have attained their present
state OF proficiency. All OF the troopers
are much attached to Lieut.. Hlscock, and
an effort was made to elect him captain !:
but, while he felt honored by the friendly
advances, he was not only not an aspirsnt
but expressed his preference for Mr..
Scudder. After Mr.. Scudder was elected
captain Mr.. Hiscock was elected LIST lieu
tenant, Auditor Hall End lieutenant and
Willie Fulkerson bugler. The result Of the
election gives general satisfaction. Orders
we're given for the command to turn out
at O'Clock a. m. on Friday, Washing
toms birthday, in full equipment but dis
mounted.
w. c. Furguson, who spent some time
in Yakima this winter for the benefit Of
his health, is now in Arizona. He went

found no place so pleasant as was Yaki-
ma. either climatically or socially, and
that he will return to this valley in the
early spring. He says they irrigate in
Arizona-but that they don't understand
the principle and haven't water enough
to do any good with it, and consequently
the country is most desolate and forsaken.
He adds that Phoenix has murder or a
hold-up nearly every highland that
isn't at all to his liking.
