Publicly Expressed.
Ira NJ. krutz Il notice that the secre-
tary of the Interior in recent decisions
published in the Oregonian bears out my
contention in regard to the Walters and
Lowe decision. The cases referred to are
exactly like the Walters and Lowe cases.
The view took Of the intention OF Con-
gress to end the long, drawn out contests
before the Department, could not see
how any other conclusion could be reach
ed. We will file our defamation to take
other lands and the company will be
compelled to select new lands.
d. K. Lesh-The republicans and IN.
sionists have both put their foot in it, 80
to speak, in the failure to give needed
freight legislation and in their needless
extravaganza. The fact is every ten
years is often enough for the legislature
to convene.
W. J. Aumiller-I lett North Yakima
for Chicago, December 10, having Just
returned. The winter in Illinois was
cold, but calm and little or no snow.

Yves Jones-ln my opinion the ques-
ton of anti-expansion or anti imperial
ism, whichever you may choose to call it,
will be the paramount and overshadow-
ing issue next campaign.
Frank Horsley-The item in The HER
AID in regard to the deal between Dud
ley Eshelman and A. B. Weed for the
Second street residence property bought
by Mr.. Lombard should have read 81 SO
instead OF $3.50
Capt. Dunn-If the legislature con-
tinues to refuse relief to eastern WASH
ington from railway extortion, l would be
in favor of picking out a representative
Chinaman and sending him to Olympia

John J. Rudkin-I understand that
Garry Moulton is mad because THE HER
AID CHARGES him with having written
certain editorials in local sheet. don't
blame him, considering the style of the
editorials.
Representative Englehart-I can stand
the adverse criticism of politicians pretty
well. did all that was possible for my

fered the chance.
R. Strobach-The arid land legislation
was defeated. There is no appropriation
even for the arid land commissioner,
though he can recover his salary from
the state hereafter.
J. A. kingsbury-I took part in de.

son. Unfortunately, by a slip of the
tongue, spoke of certain tendencies in
Jefferson's life as leading up to influences
that brought on the war of 176l, meaning,
of course, 1861. My opponent grilled
me for this mistake in fine shape and the
judges charging the slip to ignorance,
gave decision against me.
Robert Crory-The proper thing to do
in order to make more school room is to
build an ell on the Columbia school
house. This would strengthen the build
ing and at the same time increase the &C.
commodations for the children.
H. L. Tucker-The school house across
the track should have about eight feet
taken off the top and an addition built on

could be had and the building rendered
absolutely safe.
E. W. Dooley-I got back from Alaska

the Atlin mining district is a severe blow
to the prosperity of Sksgway, though the
town seems to hold its own very we'll.
Col. Taggard-Sunday was the 46th
