Situation Regarded as Critical.

Paris, March 24.-An official dispatch
has been received here from Caracas
giving the causes which led up Ia
President Castro's resignation. I.
shows that this action was not a mere
formality. as some of the dispatches in
dicated, but was the outgrowth of SER
ious conditions caused by the recent
international entanglements.
The dispatch says the main cause Of
the Presidents resignation was the
troubles with Germany, which. besides
being difficult of solution. have caused
widespread alarm. The situation. it is
added. has been further complicated by
the activity of the revolutionary bands.
The dispatch clearly the inn
preston that the resignation of General
Castro is Indicative of the present con-
dition of unrest and instability in Nene-
uela, probably foreshadcwing a general
change of government.
Commenting on the action of Presi-
dent Castro, the Matin Jays it regards
1t as a mere feint, having for its object
his reelection and the unqualified APP
prevail of his policy.

Bah !!

At Joplin, Missouri, a few days ago
a policeman arrested young lady for
holding her skirts up out of the mud,
saying that she held them too high.
There seems to be difference in opin
ion for when the young lady showed
the police judge how high she raised
them she was promptly dismissed and
an apology made That policeman
must have been suffering with an all
over fit of the jim jams, or else his
modestv could not stand the sight of
a pretty pair of hose in motion. Bah

How Hillsboro's Bridge Was Dedicated

Written by Charles W. Stevens and spoken at the Mason
published by request)
Once on time say near the writer's birth,
sturdy old New Hampshire town of worth,
Through whose brave hills river gently ran
AS vet unsurpassed by handy work OF man,
In wise discussion sat and when the 'meetln" rose
And sunset called from labor to repose,
The cry went up from every vale and ridge
70 thrifty grow Hillsboro must have bridge.
The bridge built and staunch, twas builded too
For though the passers DER it might be few,
Not always peaceful ran the rivers course,
For early spring oft heard it rumblnS's hoarse,
And should the torrents speed their bolsterOus way
That bridge the builder said built to stay.
But then wor! could be complete
Without some tribute paid at learnings feet,
A pic mic cIambake barbecung day,
When pulpit, bar and poets have their say:
A dedication, dedicate our bridge it sounded we'll
And II our modern parance rather swell;
In fact those stern old buffers; it was said,
Proposed to paint the bridge and Hlsboro red
The day was fixed an orator was found,
Type of old Blackstone, learned and pronnd,
though young in fact his maiden effort too.
Xet Hllsboro savans said they guessed he'd "dew.'
The speech was written in his mem'ries seat
Was stored secure, compact and quite complete,
He even told friend, he'd got 1t "tlar,'
As firmly liked as yonder polar STAR
The day arrived, and cannon from the hill
Procaimng welcome sent a glorious Thrill,
Throughout The town, whose holiday attire
Had almo,, set the coolest head on fire.
Around the RESTRAIN, near the famous span
Ihey gathered, youth and ageSwoman and man,
While he parson, placid, cool and calm;
One tledyliny sat- nor showed the least alarm,
Tie prayer was said the orator arose,
And spick and span he looked in Sunday clothes,
His eagle eye surveyed the waiting crowd
And then in native dignity he bowed -
Thus he began, with voice and gesture grand:
NV fellow citizens, where you now stand,
A hundred,-a hun lred years aYo--there stood,
A bowling Wlderness-a bowling wood
NV fellow cilizens-I say where you now sit
Now stand--one hundred years ago there stood
bowling wilderness-a bowling wood.
NY fellow citizens of Hillsboro,
| say one hundred years
Where you now stand,
Once stood a bowling wilderness,
And then he paused in ecstacy of bitterness,
And while oig drops OF sweat stood on his brow
Shoued-"I wish the Lord it on y stood here now"
And that was all, in haste he quit the floor
And Hsboros orator was heard no moore.

The State Fair and Its President.

The high place attained by the states
annual show can in large measure be
attributed to the work of Senator
Splawn. There is not a person in Yaki-
ma county who would withhold one lot
or little of praise from this man. In
deed, the success of the fair is so inter-
woven with the success of every true
citizen of that county that to fail to
give credit where credit is due would ul-
timately reflect on the community. 1t
is not reflection on previous manage
ments to say that the present one is
the best; on the contrary, the country
contiguous to Yakima is rapidly filling
up. Prosperity is indeed in the air.
Everyone who has a desire for money
possesses some of that filthy lucre."
If it is true that each individual has a
certain groove which destiny has map
ped out for him, Senator Splawn landed
square in the middle of his groove when
he accepted the position of president of
the State Fair Association. Born in Mis-
souri, July 81. lS45. he crossed the
plains to Oregon in 1852. landing in
Yakima. Wash, in 1860. In 1861 he
went to the Cariboo mines i'm British
Columbia. driving beef cattle to all min
ing camps in British Columbia. Wash
ington. Oregon and Idaho. For twenty
years Senator Splawn was one of the
largest cattle dealers in Washington
and Oregon. At the present time he is
living on a stock ranch of 5000 acres.
where he is devoted to the raising of
thoroughbred Herefords. Senator
Splawn'S penchant for blooded stock has
been transmitted to his only son, who
is said to be the youngest breeder of
thoroughbred cattle IN the United
States.-Forum (Tacoma.l
