Chester A. Congdon of Duluth-This
valley and your town North Yakima,
make the most thriving community /
have seen i'll many days. l think you
are destined for gre ter prosperity.

Frank Horsley-I have just returned
from visit to my brother in Cripple
Creek, Colo. There is no comparison
between our state and those through
which passed enroute. The people of
Colorado are undergoing a water famine
that is, from an irrigation standpoint
and all of their crops are drying up.
While away visited the Garden of the
Gods, was in Cheyenne canyon, and
stood by the grave of Helen Hunt.
was also in Aultman, Colo, the highest
incorporated town in the world. 1t is
10, 400 feet above the sea level, and has
population of $50 people. 1 did not
see any community or any section of
country in my observations half SO pros
porous as the Yakima valley.

w. A. Cox-I think the democrats
have splendid chance to win out this
fall in election. feel positive the legis-
lative ticket will certainly go through,
for the people OF this county want to
return George Turner to the U. S.
senate, and they are going to vote for
the men that will vote for him.
~
Joel Shoemaker.-I have seen and
talked with great many people in
town about the article published in
the Seattle Times recently in regard to
the impure water of the city. They
were all glad l exploded the situation,
and the majority of the people - those
who are not cliqued with Robertson and
the p. l. gang--feel about the matter
just as wrote and had printed in the
paper. had no personal malice or ul-
terror motive for publishing what did.
1t was simply an item of news gathered
from actual facts which exist even to-
day. If such matters are not agitated
through the columns of the papers they
will never receive the proper attention
from the city authorities. | know this
town has impure water and it should
be looked after. 1t is only the gang
which has been fighting me for the last
two years who now rise up in arms, as
it were, and bayonet me over the head
OF the article which published in the
Times. My information was gotten
from representative citizens and tax
payers of this city and from people who
knew what they were talking about.

w. ID. Walker left the boys in Sc
attic Thursday AFTERNOON, and you can
bet they were having barrel of fun.
There was Doc, and Bill, and Ira, not to
mention others of less prominence, and
nothing was too good for them; neither
did the price cut any figure.

business since the lawyers left town that
it has kept me on the go continually. |
wish Seattle would give an Elks' carni-
val about once month.

w. j. Beggs-Yakima is growing faster
than any dairy district in the state,
having for several years past doubled
itself. There is absolutely no danger of
ever OVERRIDING the dairy business in this
state Seattle alone receives from the
eastern market two car loads of butter
per day, not to say anything of the
butter received by boat from Oregon and
California. Western Washington avail
able lands are supporting about all the
dairy stock they can hence the supplv
