torney, and after further consulting the
county surveyor in regard to the SUM-
cheney of said petition, find that said
petition is insufficient upon which to
locate road, for the reason that it
gives no description of lire of road
such as could be found or followed,
wherefore said petition is hereby dis
missed. Done at the January, A. d.
1896, meeting of said Board" The sur
vey, plat and field notes that are fled,
and which have been adopted and

Commissioners, in this road matter,
were filed in the auditors office on
July 6, 1896, and this survey is certi-
fed as having been made by the sur
veyor OH April %, 1895. We do not
believe our correspondent desires to be
as pinning his faith to the
imperfect records of 1896, or that the
authorities should have pro-
ceeded in this road matter on those inn
perfect records.

Rev. J. S. McCallum, Olympia
Dear Sir: Being in the midst of revival
meetings, deem it inepedient to discuss
the subjects which we had chosen. and
fixed the fourth Tuesday of January as
the time for holding said discussion.
Deeming the salvation of souls from sin
to be of more importance than how the
rite of baptism with water is to he per-
formed, cannot conscientiously suspend
a revival for debate. II you desire the
discussion, however, shall be at liberty
about the middle Of March.
Respectfully yours,
