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

Hon. }. III. Sinclair, VI. FL am mere
to visit my brother, Dan. and before re-
turning to my home In New Glasgow,
Nova Scotia, shall visit my sister, Mrs.
Bishop. of Portland. Oregon, am de.
lighted with this beautiful and fertile
land. Your city bids fair to become a
place of considerable Importance. The
feeling OF Canadians toward the United
States is most friendly. All our sympa-
thes went out to your soldiers in the war
with Spain. The newspaper reports
creditng Sir Wilfred Laurier, our pre-
mier, with entertaining warlike senti.
ments against this country are silly and
unfounded. On my way out here |
stopped over at Ottawa and had talk
with the premier. He believes in set.
Ting all international disputes by arbi-
tration.
W. l.. Jones, NJ. CT 1t rained most of
the time on our Alaska trip, though it was
warm while We were at Juneau. There

courts, which are imperfect and made.

form and they will meet such land

notion.

ing to command good price, though
don't want to prophesy how high they
will go. The wet weather this month
did not hurt the crops in the Mckee.
There has been more rain in August than
tor eight years past. In August, 1896,
the rainfall was Al OF an inch. The
rainfall for this August was LIZ inches.
Hugh Sinclair-I don't remember, in
residence of twenty years in Yakima,
any rain O. consequence in the month of
August before this time.
Andy Mulhollan-In a letter received
from Lieut.. Lemon he states that he was
offered captaincy in a new regiment if
he would re enlist, but he had concluded
to come home with his regiment.
Andy Popovitch-The peasantry in
| Italy and Austria are poor, but have
enough to eat and wear. saw Nick
McCoy's nephews and his brother, in
my recent trip back home. The magnif-
icent cathedrals in Italy are wonders of
art. saw one cathedral that has been
building for seventy.fve years and is
not finished yet paid % cents to go
through the church and it is grand be-
yond description. Nobody seemed to
know what it cost. One thing that
strikes an American citizen as funny is
the way the police show their authority,
and the streets are well policed and the
cleanest IN the world. But after man
has got used to American ways he don't
want to live in the old country any more.
Land Office Receiver Cannon have
seen a letter from Judge Hanford, over
his own signature, in which he states
that the Sunnyside canal will certainly
be sold before the close of the year and
at the lrce of 1926, 900. saw another
letter. from capitalist, in which 1t was
stated that the reports sent out about the
management of the canal would hasten
its sale, which would be very desir-
able thing to happen. You may quote
me as saying that am not afraid and in
tend to inform the Sunnyside canal
creditors at Frisco of the true status of
affairs on the canal.
Joseph Schriener-My own opinion,
based upon a close observation of the
conditions here and abroad, is that hops
are going to command fine price this
fall. The brewers will not use substi-
tutes for hops when they can get the
genuine thing. even if they have to pay
- cents a pound. | wouldn't take l5c
for my hops now, from my knowledge of
the markets.
". L. Stein xeg-The trio to Alaska l
eujoved very much. went up to Sitka
on the same boat with Congressman
Jones. The scenery is grand. The eli.
mate is not unlike that of the Sound
country. Dyea has collapsed, but Skag
way is town of some importance. The
Treadwell mine was one OF the great
