Alex d. Sloan-I have seen every pres
ident inaugurated beginning with Gar
field down to the present time, and was
at both inaugurations of Cleveland. I
have strong hopes Of being in Washing
ton in March next and witness another
ceremony Of this character.
John McFee-.The new Presby terrain
church in the upper Natchez is now ap-
preaching completion. 1t has been quite
q heavy cost on . small community but
when it ia dedicated on Sunday, Aug. 20,
there will not be dollar of indebtedness
against it, Additionally it is the most
attractive church in the county, in fact it
is gem.
H. B. Rigg-I spent several days in
Seattle during the past week and was
told by prominent republicans that the
Humes. Frink fight was so bitter and deep
seated that it would probably loose King
county and the state to the republicans.
1t will take very large-sized patch to
cover the gaping wound. Outside of
politics the only piece of news I have is
that Judge Boyle will leave on Saturday
for London in the interest OF a great
steamship company of which he is the
attorney. He is in good health and
looks it and is prospecting generally.
W. p. Sawyer-There is nothing es-
pecially new in the Parker neghborhood,
but recently came very near being the
subject for an extended write-up in the
local papers. In some manner my
horse became entangled in a strand of
barbed wire, which was wound around
all four legs He was thrown down with
me underneath, and in the struggles of
the animal the wire got twisted around
my leg. How I escaped alive is still
mystery, but managed to come out Of
1t with only few cuts and bruises.
Joseph Stephenson-I have withdrawn
from the county issionerehip con-
test. My family lives in the city while
spend most of my time on the ranch and
call it my home. There might be ques-
ton as to my eligibility to serve the dis
trict. Aside from that I have held the
Office for twelve years and have come to
the conclusion that it would be we'll
enough to step aside, although many of
my friends, both republicans and demo-
Gratis, have urged me to be candidate
and feel assured could be elected. l
understand H. D. Winchester is candi-
date, and believe he would make q
good com missioner.
w. l. Lince-Some people here are
circulating nncomplimentary reports
about the Yakima Valley Canal to new
corners. Those who are giving these false
utterances are interested in disposing
of lands in other localities, but such stor-
les nevertheless hurt the entire section.
The capacity of this canal has been in
creased fourty per cent this season, and
if consumers would economic in the use
of water they would find they have am.
pie for all needs. The canal is supposed
to irrigate 5000 acres of land but it is now
carrying sufficient water to cover 300
acres, while there is less than one-half
that amount of land under the ditch In
cultivation. None of the patrons have
any reason to kick, for if they are not
receiving their just proportion OF water
they can secure it by taking the proper
steps.
Justice Taggard-In two or three in
stances have failed to preside at marri-
age services owing to the objection OF the
bride to q civil ceremony. The women
generally want the ministers to tie the
knots, though for what reason l have
been unable to learn. When l marry q
couple it is bond that only death or
the higher courts can dissolve, and GER
tainly my appearance would indicate
that the occasion was one of great solemn
ity, while my words of congra tulations
which follow the service are bound to
place the contracting parties in that hap.
py humor which presages well for the
future. When addressed on the subject
