it through the west In search Of loca-
ton in which to chang out his single"
as an attorney, and who has been guest
at the Hotel Yakima for more than q
month, left this week for Boise, Idaho.

full future before it, is composed Of most
enterprising people, and believes that the
population will double in very few

question in controversy. Another law
which has gone into effect during the past
