only grower whose crop hasn't been in

James Coe--I am giving large part Of

and this morning ! am quite tired and
my back aches.
Justice Taggard-l am trying to secure
the summer house in the railroad park
in which to hold my sessions of court
during the warm period. Agent Graham
has promised to communicate with Presi.
dent Melen regarding the lease
John q. Boyle-THE HERALD of last
week was the best local paper ever issued
from the office or from the town. The
present editor is past master in the art
of news-gathering He has nose for it
and all he needs is application.
Fred Thompson-From the published
reports of what growers say regarding
the injury done to fruit by the frost be-
lieye my orchard was more favored than
others. I will not have a heavy crop,
but it will be a fair one and very salts.
factory to me.
T. r. Fisher-I have horse in which
feel considerable confidence, and am
looking for race. Fred BROKER and
Jim Mabry have couple of old plugs on
whose speed they have Dragged in the
past, but haven't heard them express
themselves this spring.

ing the recent cold snap. My apricot and
peach trees are in excellent condition
and loaded with fruit. shall have to
thin IS per cent at least The same is
true of apples, pears and other varieties.
Perhaps we are in favored neighbor-
hood but | worry but little about not
having a full crop of fruit this year.
Alex Miller-Our seed trade thus far
this season has been double that of any
previous year, and the amount of alfalfa
sown is something wonderful. Three ear
loads OF alfalfa seed have been sold by
dealers in this city, which would mean
the sowing OF between four and five
thousand acres of land to this crop Add
to this the special consignments and the
seed sold by dealers in Toppenish, III
lab, Mabton and Sunnysde, and you can
conservatively say that 5000 acres OF land
have been seeded to alfalfa this spring.
Henry kampeter-I am now devoting
my attention strictly to gardening My
potato ventures during the past yeal
failed to prove profitable. | bought al
the top of the market, feeling confident
from all the information that | could
gather, that prices would go still higher
but my calculations did not pan out

Sam Chsppell-The Democrat states
that the late George TAYLOR served three
terms as county commissioner. This is
an error. He served two terms. 1t was
in the seventies and was his associate
from this end OF the county and Bob
Wallace and J. c. Sharp each served a
term from the upper end, which was af-
terward cut off and Incorporated az Kit.

THE STATE PRESS DID IT.

The state press has placed on foot
a movement to induce the next legis-
lature to amend the tax law so as to
extend the limit until the 10Th Of
January, instead of the 10Th Of De-
cember, as at present. Under the ex-
listing law penalty of ten per cent Is
added to all taxes not paid by the
10th of December. 1t is argued in IA
vor of the change that the small
farmers often have NO money until
after the first of the year with which
to settle their taxes, and that they
are kept busy winding up their per-
sonal affairs at the close of the year
and have no time to stand around
waiting their turn in the sheriff's Of
fee. 1t is probable that the matter
will be brought before Governor Lon
gino and he will be urged to make
the recommendation in his message
to the legislature.

The peculiar objection to student

The peculiar objection to student
luxury, as President Jones, of Hobart
College, recently observed, is that 1t
is parasitic. 1t qualities young men to
be good spenders" Of the resources
OF others. The flowers they send to
their friends, the horses they keep, the
bets they lose are paid for by some
one else. The exorbitant expenditures
of the student have himself as their
sole object, wherein they differ from
those of almost every other class; they
represent self-indulgence Of the Grass
est sort. Habits of luxury are danger
Gus to the future of young man; the
practice of extravaganza in his days
of dependence is dangerous to his self
respect and demoralizing sometimes 70
the self-respect of others who cannot
afford to indulge 1t.

farce. Nothing but what Is absolutely

A man of science may earn great dis

invitations to all sorts of dinners and
conyersaziones, but not enough income
to pay his cab-fare. A man of science
