WHAT PEOPLE SAY.
A Transient Record of Private Opinions
Publicly Expressed.

There is nothing strange in this state
ment, but The queer part OF it is that
each one who has tasted this honey says
it is Of au exceptionally fine quality with
delicate flavor unlike any they have
been used Ia. have also noticed thls
point myself aud few weeks ago re-
solved to find solution for it, The con-
clusion arrived at IS that The bees have
been busy good share of their time on
some catnip which planted some years
ago and which now cIvers quite large
patch of ground. Others who have cat
nip beds and bees may have noticed this
act before, but | never have.
". i Wight would like to see the
boys of Company + come home together.
The expense to our own people would lie
light, where all take hand in defraying
it. | hope the Red Cross ladies will
move in the matter soon.
Timothy L,uch-I see the evidence of
the hears claws in hon buyers endeav
oring to force down the prize. | believe
Yakima crops will have fourth less han

Popuist Central committee | am "p.

T. Lvou--me Northern Pacific has
fixed 40 the stock yards on "a grand and
enduring scale, in proportion, as its other
Improvements. The stock yards are a
sight TO see, with their massive new i'm.
beers and perfect arrangements, At least

Geo. NJ. MaCDonald-I may conclude
to settle here, though vonr taxes rate
nretty high, which doubtless will be
better regulated as You grow older. In
my home town of Lngansport, Indiana,
the city supplies all its electric lights free
liGh.s for the streets and furnishes the
citizens iucandescents at 9 cents Il month
each. We have u revenue from this
source OF $50 900 per annum.
Ira =. Englehart-Let some of our
antiexpansion farmers, if there are any,
go oyer TO the Sound and see what the
trade with our new possessions means
for Yakima. 1t is II sight to see the ship
loads OF hay, -four. potatoes, and the
like beng shipped across the Pacific.
There are not ships enough to send our
products. They can't send the coal,
lumber and bulky freights fast enough to
Honolulu. jim Hill is talking of put
ting on fifteen new steel steamships and
the Northern Pacific is building three or
four new steamers. 1t IS mystery how
any one can stand in the way of the on
ward movement of our home products
