f. +. Benson-[ will not have charge
OF the Hotel Riverside at Prosser, as was
currently reported. 1t is designed to run
that hostelry as u sanatarium for one
lunged people and other invalids. The
boating, swimming, Italian climate snd
Switzerland scenery all mbine to make
the coast.
Edward Whitson-The building going
on here is surprising, though very quiet
The town is putting on metropolitan airs
and leaping toward as never before
There is a bnsiness.like air about it all
that is very assuring.
Tobias Beckner-Everybod down our
way seems to be getting ready to ''jine''
the socialist. The people believe that il
the trusts have come to stay, the govern.
ment ought to own and control them
81. Lowe-We have got the Fill.
pinos by the fortunes of war, and / don't
see that we can do anything but baptize
them into Americanism and try and
make good citizens of them.
Charlie Krause-Talk about cinches
but the lead trust has a lead pipe cinch.
doDtt blame a man or set of men for
getting rich. but don't like to see them
build up great fortunes by running other
men.
j. I. Harsell-I am back to Yakima
again for my health. Ritzville is a splen-
did business. points good place to make
nonev, but my health failed me owing
chiefly to the volcanic rock water they
have to drink. The wheat crop promises
well and farmers have been offered fiftv
cents for their future crop. If the wheat
natures well the people will have money
to throw at the birds.
Doc Hare-I shall take a car load of
thoroughbred geldings this week to Spo-
kane. l will still have band of 125 left.
But there will be no slaughter sale at
Spokane like had here last Saturday.
Why, there was Melissa, ten year old
black mare and her colt, that | sold to
Harry Moran for $50. She and her m ate
could at one time have sold for 5000.
Think Of that And yet there were
horse men at the sale that wanted her
for $40 or $50. l believe, however, that
good horses will bring good prices next
year.
George Vance-We have sold $50 tick
cts for the Observation-Disclosures Opera
Company. which will perform Fra Diav-
olo at Mason's opera house. The free
list had to be suspended, as n tickets
were wanted for the attaches of the opera
house, to say nothing of the press comps.
l.. S. Sperry-As newspaper man
don't like to see the press overlooked, but
the guarantee made for the Wakefield An
drews troupe required that the free list be
absolutely suspended. Hence no one
will be admitted without the payment of
one dollar admission.
Geo. S. Hough-The committee in
charge of the fire works for the Fourth of
July have sent to Frisco for American
fireworks amounting to 1882. These are
far preferable to the Chinese fireworks
on sale in Seattle. We are doing our
best to bill the county. Coffin Bros. are
sending dodgers about the celebration to
their friends in Klickitat.
Walter Reed was in Seattle several
days looking after land office business in
the federal court. The grand Jury in
dicted swindler Wood who has been VIC
timzing many people by his fraudulent
timber land entries. | think the grand
jury will return five or six indictments
against him and his conviction will surely
follow.
r. Srobach-I have returned from a
lengthy trip to the Okanogan country.
was within about 40 miles of Republic,
but didn't go IN. Ruby city and Con q.
conully are deserted. They were once
prosperous mining towns. Looms would
likewise, be deserted were it not for a
tunnel that is being built there which
