A good story, even when the same man continues to repeat it, has a tend- ency to grow, like a rolling snowbalL. An instance is here furnished:

produces we'll and the valleys are wonder. They will grow as many as 600 bushels of potatoes. You will find clover and timothy growing al most everywhere. When little piece is cleared in the spring the clover will start to grow on it. also everywhere all over the mountains and west to the bay.
 The Cascade mountains are diff ferent to what 1 thought they were. It is more than forty miles over them I worked at the highest point of the Great Northern road and it looked about a half mile to the top of one of the peaks from my station. but everybody said it was long ways to the top of it, so thought l would go up one day l had the night man to work for me and I started at 5 o'clock one morning and walked very hard until half past twelve before l got to the top of it. That was the later part of August and slided down about 400 feet of snow on the north side of the peak. I don't think that anything ever gets ripe up there There were some huckleberries about half grown on the east side near the top, flowers in bloom on the edge of the snow. and things growing unde" the snow There was very pretty kind of moss in blossom on the rocks where there was no snow, and the trees had a kind of moss on them simething like that in Southern Ar kansas--from the top to near the ground but the moss was not so long as that in Arkansas and Louisi- ana.
 There is very little animal life. We saw three grouse and they were as tame as chickens: also one squir- ! rel. At the foot of the peak, at the station, never saw as many ground squirrels before in my life. A fel- | low could stand still and count fifty and they were so tame that they would come within very few feet of us. There was rat that was curiosity to me. They call it the l wood rat, it looked like very large Norway rat, but had a bushy tall. The hair on it was about two-thlrds as long as a fox squirrels and about the same color. 1 have not seen any gray squirrels since I came out here, but there is kind of squirrel that looks like the fox squirrel. but only about two-thirds as large. and not many of them. Since coming doWn off of the mountain see a great many ducks and geese. but there Is very little of any other kind of game and very hard to get.
 Our town is growing very fast It is larger than Pine Bluff now. and they tell me that it is exceeding 5,03o new population a year. l think NC will have a place after awhile that vii be a credit to the West

DISPUTE OVER A PARTY WALL.
A House Owner Declares Builders
Are InjurinG Her Property.

Katie Jorss yesterday applied to the
Supreme Court of the District for an in
junction to restrain Louis II. Emmert and
Frank A. LutZ, jr., from completing the
construction of a certain brick wall, which
she alleges is injurious to her property.
The complainant is the owner of lot 36, in
block 80 Mount Pleasant, which is known
as 1919 Bacon Street. The building, she
states, extends for thirty feet along the
line of the adjoining lot. which is owned
by the defendant, Frank A. Lutz, jr.
The complainant says that her party
wall is located wholly on her own prop
erty. About year ago, 1t is further
stated, a building was erected on lot 81,
known as premises 1851 Bacon Street.
Without any authority whatever the COM
plailant declares that the person who
built premises 1851 Bacon Street used the
wall on her property, which is thirteen
inches thick.
A few days ago, it is said Emmert, who
is contractor. commenced elevating the
wall of premises li51 Bacon Street ad-
joining the property of the complainant.
This additional wall it is said. will be
raised to the height of another story and
is wholly on the property of the complain
ant.
The court is asked to restrain the de-
PENDANTS from proceeding with the cree
tion of the wall referred TO during the
pendency of the litigation. Lambert K
Baker are named as counsel for the COM
ylai

FIRST CITIZENS MEETING.
The Northeast Washington AssO-
citation Opens Sessions.
A Resolution DepIOring the Attack
en- the President - Need of Large
Police Force in the Ninth Precinct
Two Street Railway Complaints.

OF all the participants in the annual
season of municipal discussion the North
east Washington Citizens Association
has been the first to get under way. The
opening meeting was held last night at
Northeast Temple. Evan II. Tucker was
in the chair Resolutions were unani-
smousy adopted regretting the attack on
President Mckinley, expressing the sym
pathy of the organization and advocating
Congressional action which would wipe
out the curse of anarchy.
The pressing necessity for a larger po-
lice force in the Ninth precinct was en-
bodied in a report submitted by Dr. /. ID.
Walters, Chairman of the Committee on
Police and Fire Departments. The ad-
ministration of the precinct under Lieut.
j. c. Daley was commended, but it was
pointed out that the presence of public
resorts such as American League Park,
the Coliseum, and the Benning track,
where large crowds frequently gather,
and the nature of haunts like Chesapeake
Junction necessitated the vigilance of
much larger force than fifty-three men.
When the meeting opened President
Tucker, in calling the members to order,
made reference TO the detachment from
the office of Engineer Commissioner Of
Capt. Lansing II. Beach. w. j. EriZZel
offered resolutions deploring this action
mittee on Streets, q resolution was intro
duced. recommending that in cases whers
streets are to be extended east and west
beyond Ine city limits, they retain the let
tered name. The recommendation was
adopted.
DR. W. E. Kirby and S. Sowerbutts were
appointed committee last spring to ag-
itate among other citizens associations
the sdvisability of change in the date of
the inauguration ceremonies. The COM
mlttee in the report made last night
stated that little progress had been made
during the summer.
A letter was read from the National
Municipal League, stating that the
Northeast Washington Citizens Associa-
tion had been admitted to affiliated men,
bership
The great need of larger Fairgrounds
adjoining school buildings was the subject
of resolution presented by f. ID. Foster
chairman Of the Committee on Schools
He cited the fact that the grounds are
now so small that the children overrun
them into the streets and are subjected
10 danger from wagons and street cars
The resolution was adopted.
Before the meeting adjourned two con-
plants qu:te bitter in tone. were made
Street Railroad was operated. II appears
that residents Of the northeast section of
the city are unable to reach the Capitol
on payment OF one fare, although the
distance is comparatively short. The in
tricacies Of the transfer system prevent
the connection. Another instance cited
was the case of a member who goes to
Rockville and back every day. He said
he had been informed that the fare was
rs cents. but is continually charged 30
despite protests 10 the officials OF the
company Motions were made to have the
Major j. b. Burke is chairman, investi-
gate these matters.

MARKET SPACE.
GRAND JURY CHANGES.
Bonine Jurors Place Filled, Lea>.
ing Two Vacancies

The selection yesterday of Charles B.
Walker as a member OF the grand Jury
of the District to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of John NJ. Steele on
July Ii last recalls the fact that the latter
was member of the jury which returned
the indictment against Mrs Lola Ida
Henry Bonine, charging her with the
murder of James Seymour Ayres on May
Is last.
Mr.. Steele was excused on July 13 from
further service member of the grand
jury on the ground that he had accepted
position at the Washington Navy Yard
as an employe of the Government. At
that time the question of his eligibility to
serve as juror was discussed. By some
it was contended that his action in tax
ing part in the finding of the Indictment
nullitied it because he was at the time
really in the employment OF the Govern
ment. The law, however, does not dis
qualify person to sit a juror for the
reason that he is employed by the Gov
ernment, but states that in such cases
the person may be excused from jury
duty.
Fred Sauer and B. F. JOY, also members
of the grand jury, were yesterday eX-
cused from further service and the names
of four other persons Were drawn, two
of whom viii be selected today to ill
the vacancies.
