|; WHAT PEOPLE SAY !

James H. Frazer-It had been talked
here considerably among the sheepmen
that Kittitas county had been unjustly
quarantining against Yakima sheep, and
to satisfy myself and others on the mat
ter took trip to Ellensburg on Tues
day to look into the status of the situa-
ton. l found that while the Kittitas
sheepmen are quarantining against the
Yakima sheep they are complying with
the letter of the law, known as the
Cleman act passed at the last session
of the legislature. And further, find
that if the Yakima sheepmen, who
were instrumental in having this law
passed, will enforce it strictly and abide
by its provisions, they will have no room
to protest. This law provides that sheep
shall be quarantined 80 days after dip
ping" and this is just the provision the
kittitas people have been enforcing
1t is not unjust, but in accordance with
the law. l met Inspector Warren of
Kittitas and he said there should be no
uneasiness about the matter, and sug-
gested that Yakima live up to the pro-
visions of the law before sending their
sheep up his way to Craze. And this is
my opinion on the matter, too.

Frank Horsley-I have been told by
people who are worldwide travellers that
for pastoral scene the view presented
from Mob Hill of the surrounding farms
is the most beautiful they ever looked
upon. Men who have travelled in
France, where time has transformed the
land into pictures of artistic finish, say
they have seen nothing there to equal
what we have right around us here of
only few short years Of making. 1t is
not on the greatness OF the scale on which
this picture is drawn that mean to be
ELUSIVE, but it is the harmonious per-
spective, touched and retouched by the
hand OF the clever tiller of the soil and
the expert fruit raiser. You must
90 up there now and look about to real
ize it all. AT this season it is so much
more attractive, when everything is
green with the freshness OF spring. The
alfalfa meadows and orchards and hop
fields stretch out one after another in all
directions and blend into charming
whole that is too much for description,
but only the eye can comprehend. There
are other sections OF this valley, howev-
er, just as grand as this one, but not OF
such easy approach. The upper Natchez,
the Wenas, the Mckee and Parker are
all equally grand, but little out of the
way. So with all these beauties about
us why need we go away to the orange
groves of California or other parts of the
world to get view OF country scenes in
the highest type OF perfection?
I. ]. Haynes-Did you ever notice the
contempt some people exhibit toward
mud hole or any other bad place in
road? Yes. To such an extent is this
characteristic OF the American people
often carried that the average man or
woman will drive through mire time
after time, sinking deeper at each sue
eessful passage, and never will they once
consider the cause of the slough they
Alre in nor seek to effect a removal, when
/ little time, perhaps five minutes or so,
