His wife is an invalid and cannot STAY
with him and, though nearly 20 years OF
age, he stays by the claim faithfully and
will beat the high-minded, noble. soued
Freeman yet.
Sherman Hoover, one OF he worthest
men on the North Beach, is home from
the Queens dominions after wears
absence. What hardship it is that Il
man, in order to make living, (for no
man can make living on one OF these
claims) should be compelled to leave his
young family here in the solitude OF the
wilderness for whole year,
From Elma Chronicle:
known as the Bisscll shingle mill are at
an end, the property having passed into
absolute ownership of JAS A. Ray. This
is good news to the people of the COM
munity, who hold Mr. Ray in the high
est esteem. The mill under his manage
ment has always done we'll, and now,
that he is the sole owner, it is hoped it
will do better than ever.
From Montcsano Vdette:
Co. Supt. McKillip is engaged today in
apportioning about 81 900 state and county
school funds to the different districts.
This county paid into the state over 49,
600 school money.
Perhaps one of the largest chestnut
trees in western Washington is growing
on l.. G. Sanger's farm about eleven miles
west of Olympia OH the Hickland road.
The tree is 20 inches in diameter, is about
80 feet high and has q spread Of 10 feet,
bearing last year about eight bushels Of
nuts. This with many others through
out the country, demonstrates what can
be done in chestnut culture in western
Washington.
From Montesano Economist:
Clerk Cheney arrived at his home in
Cosmopolis Saturday evening just in time
to greet new baby boy, which fully ac-
counts for the broad smile he was wear
ing Monday.
Ed. Campbell cut and pu. up 700 tons
OF hay in ten days on his hay farm west
of town.
Reports received from all over the
county indicate large crop oil hay, that
is now mostly housed. And despite the
lowering weather in the early part of the
month, our iniormations state the quality
was never better, in fact the cloudy
weather caused the hay to cure slowly,
thereby lettering largely the quality.
Unless all signs fail Chehalis county farm
ers will not wait the action OF McKinley's
congress, but simply lasso old prosperity
and break him to ride this fall.

the thought that bimctallism will be the
tenor note in the war cry of the Bryanites.
Why, OF course we will favor it, same as
the republican party did last year, the
difference will be that the silver men
will be sincere in it and not u-c it as a
"delusive term to deceive"
Is prosperity the cause Of the strike
now in full operation in the coal mining
states OF the East? BY Il fair estimate
of Master Workman OF the Knights OF
Labor, 90 per cent of these strikers voted
the republican ticket, under the promise
OF steady employment and increased
wages. Thus we see IN another" striking
instance the falsity OF the Hannacrats

TARIFF BILL DELAYED.

Washington. June s.--Thc senate had a
period OF tRrin speeches today. and as a
result little progress was made on the
bin
Rawlings and Mills discussed the demo
cratic attitude on the tarin from their
respective standpoints Rawlings way a
member Of the platform committee OF the
Chicago convention and proposed the
tarln plank which was adopted He held
that the vote he and several other dem.
ocratc senators had cast for the duties
on cotton and other agricultural pro.
ducts was justified by that platform and
by the traditions OF tho party.
Mills severely arraigncd the hill as u
class measure designed to build up vast
funds Tor distribution among bcncaciaries
and AT the expense OF the forgotten
man" the taxpayer. He indirectly crit
icised those democratic senator's who
voted for the amendments to the bill
putting tax on cotton and other arti-
rlcs, contcndlrg that their course was
a radical departure from the tenets OF
democracy. Later In the day Cannon
an amendment placing an OK
port bounty on agricultural products. He
spoke FOR two hours on the need OF giving
the farmer share OF the benefits Of
the tarlff, Butler spoke In favor Of
giving the farmer equal benefits with
other classes under the bin. Only half

unimportant paragraphs. |
