EXTEND 4 ROYAL WELCOME.

The soldiers OF Company + will return
from Manila in about month. Every
important city of the country is making
hercuean efforts to give the Homecoming
troops fitting welcome. Many cities
are cheerfully and even enthusiastically
raising funds to pay for transportation
of the boys to their home towns from
the place of their mastering out. North
Yakima, by raising a few hundred dol
lars, could charter a car to bring our
bows home together from Seattle. The
ladies of the Red Cross society, by pro-
curing suitable badges, TO be sold for
half dollar each or more, ought to
be able to raise the necessary funds
without much effort. These badge.

VINO BEGAN THE WAR,

The president of the United States on
last Monday used plain language in vel
coming home the Tenth Pennsly vainia
volunteers at Pittshurg. In fixing the
responsibility for the war he said, in
part:
The first blow was struck 10y the
insurgents. Our kindness was recipro-
Gated with cruelty, our mercy with a
Mauser. The flag of truce was invoked
only to be dishonored. Our soldiers were
shot down while ministering to wounded
Filipinos. Our humanity was interpreted

They assaled our sovereignty aud
there will be no useless parley-no pause
until the instruction is suppressed and
American authority is acknowledged and
established.

Locally Famous Case Of Walters VS.. N P. R'y
Co. Compromised.

John W. Walters has cancelled by voluntary
REIMBURSEMENT all his right, title and interest
in and TO the swi+ sel4 sec -, tp Ii, range Is.
This valuable tract of land lying near the city
aud within the city limits on the northwest,
has been in litigation for long period.
curious incident of the long contest is the
filing with the REIMBURSEMENT of final receipt
for SO paid by Walters to make final proof on
the tract as desert land December IL, 1856. The
railway company, which has finally won the
land. offers the occupants the privilege of pur-
chasing the land at one half the appraised
value-s75 an acre, payable in ten years. Wal
tiers will thus save his ten acre homestead, he
having parted with the remainder of the land

an official list of all the expositions and

WATER RIGHTS.


Special Dispatch.
NORTH YAKIMA, Friday. The Dunkard col
onists under the Sunnyside Canal are much ex-
ercised over their water rights under the re-
ownership as superntended by Walter n.
Granger.
A delegation has just returned from visit to
Judge Hanford at Seattle. The committee of
Dunkards was represented by Elders Ely and
Lchty. They claim that another prominent
Dunkard, 5. J. Harrison. had lost eighty acres
of alfalfa by reason Of the sCant supply of water
and that the colony has expended from $4,000
to $4,000 in improving lands bought from the
company, but they will improve no more unless
granted their full water rights,
A colony of one hundred families which was
to come soon from the East has been warned
not to come until this matter is settled. The
delegation is pleased with Judge Hanford's re-
ceptiOn and promise to order an investigation.
And being advised that the same has
been widely copied by the press through
out the state, hereby express our utter
condemnation of the same, as being I'M
founded in fact and a malicious SANDER
upon our country.
We desire hereby to express in the
most positive manner
First-That the water supply afforded
by the Sunnyside canal Is ample for all
needs OF the country.
SeCond-That the water service has
been of an exceptionally good character.
This is true within orr own personal
know ledge, and is amply attested by the
crops now to be seen growing throughout
the country.
Third-That the people of the country
generally are prosperous, and as great
degree of harmony of purpose and feel
ing exists among them as will be found
in any community in the world.
Fourth-That the management of the
canal by the Receiver and General Man
ager is satisfactory.
Fith-That We can conscientiously in.
vite settlers to our country, feeling that il
offers to the homeseeker greater induce
ments and advantages than will be found
