! WHAT PEOPLE SAY !

~ - s~S1 ~~DO
Charley Benson, Prosser-County d.
vision is the principal subject of discus
sion at Prosser and the people are con-
siderably torn up over the matter, but
they are beginning to realize that the
bill is not likely to carry. The article
in last weeks Republic riled many of
the citizens, and DIR. Angus went around
to the Republic subscribers and got
dozen or fifteen of them to order their
subscriptions Cancelled. Some way or
other it leaked out that Congressman
Jones requested Senator Baker not to
favor the division bill, so $40 was col
lected and warm dispatch was sent to
Mr.. Jones asking him to withdraw his
instructions and then to keep his hands
off, but a reply was received saying that
he was opposed to division; and next
election Jones will not be such a favorite
in that quarter
+. NJ. Leach had an enjoyable trip
east and to my old home in Brockton,
Mass. The weather was delightful, the
coolest weather experienced being on the
10Th of January, when the thermometer
registered 8 degrees below. There is
considerable sickness from grip in the
east, but it is not of a serious character
and was just beginning to invade Massa-
chusetts when we left. We encountered
no snow on the road home.
| W. A. MAXWELL am strongly in ia
vor OF DR.. Hills appointment as post
master, believing that for his services
to the republican party he is entitled to
the office. | am not an applicant for
any office myself, although | have
-,
but will continue to publish the News,
notwithstanding the reports circulated
by interested persons that the News is
has been foreman OF the office, has re-
signed and taken a position with the
Republic, but have been able to obtain
an efficient and satisfactory man in Mer-
rift Thomas.
Joel Shomaker-There has been some
trouble between the sheriff and Col.
Robertson Of the Republic. | have been
unable to obtain the particulars, but
have been informed that it was on ac-
count Of statement in the Re
public to which Mr.. Tucker took excep-
tons and ordered the colonel from the
sheriff's office. The officials are close
mouthed about the affair and refuse
| to talk.
II. A. Griffin-IIot Springs is an in
viting resort since the completion OF the
new hotel. The building is well CON
structed, has one hundred rooms, is
lighted by electricity and heated by
steam. The bathing Accommodations are
now in every way satisfactory. The
hotel management have their own cleo
trio light plant and there is a string Of
lamps from the hotel to the railroad
station. The hotel table and service is
exceptionally good.
w. w. Robertson-Yo may say in
that valuable column of THE HERALD
labeled Short Stories for Sunday School
Scholars that | am not an applicant for
the office of postmaster Notwithstanding
the reports which have been circulated
DR.. W. II. Hare-I am satisfied that
the county division bill will not pass and
| doubt if it will be introduced. The
member who was scheduled to introduce
it said his promise was given under Il
misapprehension OF the conditions. As
to the fair appropriation | was consulted
and stated that SD 900 would be salts
factory. OF course there will be a seal
ing down OF the various amounts asked
for public institutions but the fair will
get either $100 900 or $40, 900. There will
probably be no appropriation for the
road to the Gold Hill mines as the road
bills are SO numerous and the demands
so heavy that most OF them if not all
will be side-tracked.
Frank L. Wheeer-I will leave next
week for Portland to attend the annual
meeting OF the Northwestern Fruit
Growers Association. As far as know
will be the only one from Yakima,
whereas there should be a large repre-
sentation, for, with good showing, we
could secure the next meeting in this
city There will be present greater
number Of eastern commission men and
buyers rs well as transportation agents,
than ever before and it is a shame that
the Yakima fruit growers show SO little
interest. The meetings will be held
from the 9th to the eth OF February,
both days inclusive, and unless this
county shows its hand in a persuasive
way the meeting for next year will be
held in Spokane.
