! WHAT PEOPLE SAY !

II. Snively--The flagitious practice
OF questionable produce buyers coming
here and fleeing the farmer and the
fruit grower out of his products will be
considerably curtailed when the suits
over such matters | now have on hand
are pushed to conclusion. Such in
stances happen every year and the only
way to stop it is to get after those who
are not overly straight in their repre-
sensations. The suits are the out growth
of the representatives OF Seattle firm
coming here and buying potatoes and
fruit and shipping them away without
giving anything in turn.

J. G. Berry, think it would be a
good plan to pass an ordinance provid-
ing that whenever small stone is hauled
over the streets Of the city tight bed
shall be used. Since the hauling of the
fine stone for use on Yakima avenue be-
gan the roads over which the loaded
wagons travel are almost ruined by the
loose stones that fall on them, all on ac-
count of using an open bed. The stones
fall out as the team is driven along and
deposited on the road, making bad
surface for bicycles, rubber-tired bug
gies and other vehicles.

f. f. James-The little break in the
the arm / sustained last week will not
prevent me from taking a trip to the
mountains later on. The wound will
heal shortly and then shall finish the
journey that was so ruthlessly cut short
by reprehensible cayuse. 1t is funny
how such little mishaps will befall fell
low and knock out his pleasures. l was
riding along in my buggy just as happy
as lark whistling tune when the old
cayuse stopped suddenly. Twas driving
with my left hand and leading the horse
with my right, and when the cayuse
stopped my arm was jerked back against
the frame of the buggy top and snap
went the bone. Ny dreams OF sleeping
out in the open and killing bear were
quickly dispelled, and so here am.

G. +. Lum-The road leading from
Yakima to Goldendale is now in excel
tent condition for travel. l returned
the first of the week from q trip OF inn
proving the road. All the loose stone
were picked off, many bridges were re-
paired, bad ruts were filled up and
many other things were done to place
the highway in respectable condition
for travel. There has been considerable
travel over the road this summer and it
was cut into bad ruts in number of
places. Much more work could be done
on the road to make it what it ought to
be, but this will be deferred till next
summer, when the county will have
more money for repair work OF this
kind.

The Neglected Voice,

The voice is the most common and at
the same time the most complex Of hui
man faculties. When we listen to it,
we realize nothing of the many influ-
ences at work In its use. Yet 1t repre-.
sents the character, the mood, the tenn
perament and the health of the individ-
ual when left to run in its own way.
If uncontrolled, it will develop much as
flower garden will develop; the rank
and weedy nature will come to the
front, and the tones Of exquisite beau
ty will be obscured. Bad daily habits
in the use of the voice will give it
many disagreeable qualities. If con-
trolled, the voice will keep its weeds in
the background and permit only it's
beauties to be known. If cultivated.
the weeds will be taken out and the
flowers eveloped.-Pittsburg Press.
