arily suspended owing to the winter
weather and the break in the railroad,
which stopped the receiving OF lumber.
Now that the repairs have been made
am ready to sub-contract the tiume work
and will give preference to Yakima car
penters. They will be enabled to make
from s. to 81 per day. The ferry is in
running order and in one day $4,000 feet
OF lumber was taken over. From ,0O0,-
600 to | 200, 900 feet of lumber will be re-
quired in the building OF the flume

recent appointment OF city officers by

self, but ii he will take the cobwebs out
OF his head he may be able to recall
that on the 9th OF December he was one
I'of those most active in promoting the
deal which resulted in the present ar
engagements.
Arthur Coflin-There is no truth in
the report that there has been change
in the business affairs of Coffin Bros,
other than that my brothers, Stanley
and Lester, will give their attention to
! our extensive sheep interests while my
attention and time will be wholly re-
quired at the store. The past year has
been the most prosperous in our bust
ness career.
J. p. Douglas, Sr.-"Progress" seems
to be the watchword with everybody in
our section of the country The
old settlers are beginning to see the fruits
of their several years of hard labor and
what they are now showing in the way
of well-tilled and fruitful orchards and
immense hay fields is the means of bring
ing into our section good class of
home-seekers. am feeling especially
pleased at the prospects of seeing my boy
Arthur, again, who has been doing
soldiers duty in the Philippines for
some time. If all goes well, he will,
to-day, (Tuesday,) step aboard the
transport Sherman with other comrades,
to sail for home.
Hon. Ira P. Englehart-I notice there
is considerable commotion over the divi-
sion of the county, and the talk is that
Levi Ankeny is engineering the move
ment and will ''open up his barrel"
] take no stock in any such statements
and do not believe Mr.. Ankeny would
spend dollar to have such bill passed,
| for he informed me that it was mat
ter which should be left entirely to the
citizens of the county. His interests
in Prosser might receive what would APP
pear to be Il benefit but it would be OF a
temporary character while his large hold
ings OF farming property in eastern
Horse Heaven and other sections OF the
lower county would be burdened with
! taxation.
j. L. Banks-I expect to leave for
Dawson in ten days or two weeks. |
have arranged to meet Judge Morford
in Yakima about that time and we will
| journey in together. The Judge wants
to travel over the ice on bicycle, but
neither of us are as yet acquainted with
the wheel although we had agreed to
take lessons and be prepared for such a
trip. When | left Dawson it was by
dog team but | sent the dogs back and
walked out, a distance OF $40 miles.
One bicycle traveller passed me on the
way down but met dozen or more GO
ing in. also encountered parties with
about two tons of oysters. When they
arrive the prices will take sudden
drop, although they were worth IS
can when ] left. Now that there is
telegraph connection with Dawson the
extreme fancy prices cannot long be
maintained.
II. II. Lombard-Every passenger
aboard Sunday mornings train must
have carried rabbits foot, for | have
never heard OF such complete wreck
without loss of life 1t was worth going
miles to see. 1t seems to me the engin-
eer deserves especial praise for the bit of
nerve he displayed in endeavoring to
snake his train across the bridge under
full head OF steam, and l believe to
him is due the fact that no injuries of
consequence resulted to the passengers.
Thomas Lund-I do not think that
Editor Robertson had any right to
charge me with having a finger in the
election Of Mr.. Boyle as marshal.
do not think anyone who is refused
