E1 toast to the health of Maj

Strucrion. God bless them! Every
one of them is hero brave; every
one of them timber strong that
made the bulwark of liberty and
union perpetual.
I'VE returned to the paths of
peace" says Gen. Harrison Allen, of
North Dakota, but every one of us
has lived in the memories of those
four years in the tented field, and of
ten ever until this day our dreams
are of the field, the march, the
skirmish, the battle, hospital and
deaths trenches. Yes, we returned
to.the ways of peace, but those years
OF campaigning made us soldiers for
the rest of our days. You young
folks could not see it in our faces
nor in our eyes, but down in our
hearts we often longed for the old
days when we might meet the boys
with whom we stood shoulder to
shoulder"
As they came from north, south,
east and west, in every group there
was Eongster or trio or quartette,
singing: 1--WE are coming, Father
Abraham, three hundred thousand
strong" That was a popular song
DO years ago, in all of the homes of
the land, as well as in the armies.
1t referred to the calls made by Pres
tdent Lincoln for 100000 more SOL
diers, from time to time. And as the
old boys were gathered here, they
FURNISHED their memories by singing
De old song, and many others of by
gone days.
And the stories of experience which
they told ought to be all printed in
thousands of volumes, for the enter
tainment of all future generations,
and for the inspiration of patriotism
In the hearts of the young men OF
generations yet unborn. Here is one
of the hest of them all, and it is told
of one of the best soldiers that ever
lived, dear old Gen. Rosecrans. whom
every soldier loved and whom every
brave soldier knows went to his
grave with heart sore, because his
grand services were requited with in
dignity by a few petty politicians and
coffee coolers who called
themselves soldiers.

no BRIDGES THIS YEAR
Sample Pike Road to be Built from zillah
Bridge to Toprensh.

During the session OF the county COM
missioners last week a number of inn
portant questions came up for consider
alton. One of the most important was
the building of bridges. They decided
to build no bridges during the year, but
will establish instead great number OF
new road districts, believing that roads
now are more important than new
bridges. The people living on both
sides OF the Yakima at its mouth wanted
a bridge, but they will have to wait an
other year. The Selah bridge question
came up. \ petition had been filed
asking that the Natchez bridge be re.
moved to cross the Yakima and a new
road made on the east side OF the Yak.
this matter the commissioners decided
to repair the road on the hill through
the gap and make it do this summer.
Seven hundred dollars of the bridge
fund was transferred to the road fund.
A petition, signed by large majority
OF the residents of the Zillah district,
was presented asking privilege to build
a macadam road from the Zillah bridge to
Toppenish a distance of s. miles. The
petition was granted and 5000 was APP
propriated to the fund. This is a new
scheme in road building in this county.
The road is in district 81, the supervisor
Of which appropriated $500 toward the
improvement, the Washington Irrigation
company $3.50, the Toppenish Trading
company 500 and the rest of the fund
is made up in small amounts from S. up
20 $50. The roadway, as outlined in the
petition, is to be graded from Is to 20
feet wide and cobbled. The road bed is
to be gravel eight inches deep and
rolled with a ten ton roller. All the
work l. to be done on the most modern
plans otroad building. As committee
to look after the work J. D. Laughlin,
II. NJ. Gilbert and J. l. Stackhouse have
been appointed. These men will handle
the funds and superintend the con
struction Of the road.
The license Of Martin x Wright at
Mabton was renewed.
The deed of Walter \. Granger to the
county for the road at Alfalfa was
accepted.
School districts 50 and so were e.tab-
ished

regard to tying horses seems to be bene-

RICO SEvENTY-NINERS.
Will Meet to Feast and Recount Ex.
periences Twenty Years Ago.

The Rico "Seventy-Niners" organ.
ization is already preparing to hold
its big meeting of 1902 next summer
at Rico. This will probably be the
| largest meeting they have had. not
because there are more of the 79ers
| living now than at the meeting, but
| for the reason that Rico will have "a
greater population than it has had
| Tor ten years. In the winter of 10
there were about three hundred peo-
pie showed in at Rico. Snow begun
to fall in fakes as big as pancakes

part October and there were plenty of
| snow storms from that time on till
February. The average depth of
snow at Rico was about nine feet and
| at different parts of the log hut town
4 there were snow tunnels crossing
the street, and where there We're no
| tunnels, steps were constructed from
cabin doors to the surface. Most
everybody had snow shoes and when
the snow surface was good for it
everybody was snow-shoeing The
evenings were spent at debating con-
tests and dances or staying at home
with visiting neighbors, relating ex-
periences and talking about good
times to come.
The people who had calculated on
being showed in were generally well
provided with necessary food. but in
new mining camp there are always
those who have little idea of what
people must do the first winter in a
new mountain camp, and winter had
not more than fairly begun until all
left in the stores were axle
grease, ak handles and boot blacking.
and there was no use for either at
Rico then. AS there was no mail in
or out for about two months there
were plenty of postage stamps.
There were two mining properties
operating. and the old Dolores News
managed to have from two to five
columns of mining news each week. by
rehashing what was said the week
before. Most of the mining news on
the prospects which were not oper-
ating was constructed SO that it would
be new without changing at any time

Making Things Hustle.

This is commonplace term but
very expressive. 1t tells of the bus
tie and energy and speed character
istic of our times. 1t makes us think
of strong. vigorous, courageous and
skillful men and women-the kind
that makes a success of everything.
Are you one of those who can
make things hustle? If you are not,
depend upon it something is wrong,
and you should find out what and ap-
ply the remedy.
Lack of physical energy indicates
poverty of the blood, and that condia
tion calls for Hoods Sarsaparilla, Just

When the impure and sluggish

Hoods Sarsaparilla the mind becomes
clearer, the step more elastic, the
hand steadier, and the man or wo-
