TRIBUTE TO JACK LYONS.
The Writer Tells of His Connection with the
History of Ecnsburs.

t. was in the month of August. 1889.
almost 81 wears ago, that the writer
first met Jack Lyons. Ellensburg was
then on the map, but IL different Ellens-
burg to that we have today The busi-
ness center of the village was, then the
four corners formed by the intersection
of Main and Third streets. John y.
Shoudy was conducting a general mer-
chandise store on the northwest corner.
Jacob Becker, ST., a blacksmith shop
on the northeast corner, Smith Bros. a
hotel on the southeast corner and j. L.
Mcdonald a saloon on the southwest
corner. North of Shoudy's place of
business on the west side of Main street
some hundred feet and back from the
street forty or fifty feet stood his dwell
ing house, a one-stOry frame building,
which was then almost entirely covered
with hop vines. Still further north
and on the ground now covered by
Merryman's barber shop, stood small
two-rOom frame building, occupied by
the writer and partner as law Office.
These with l.. Blumauer Il Sons gen.
eral merchandise store on the northeast
corner OF the block, composed all the
buildings on that side OF the street. On
the east side there was two-story frame
building north of Becker's blacksmith
shop owned by J. L. Brown, which had
been hotel. 1t was aiterward pur.
. chased by NJ. A. Schnsbly and used as
q milliper store. Another wooden
building still north of this one, was
occupied by P. Laurendeau as drug
store etc. The post Office was located
still further north and on the north
west corner OF the block. South OF the
Valley Hotel, Rhemke Bros. had a
jeweler store and bakery. South OF
McDOnald's saloon, on the west side of
Main street, Billy Price was running
restaurant, old man Jewett q saloon
and still further south in the old
Corral" Suver 4 Slingsby were rum
ming a saloon and livery stable. In the
center of the square formed bv Main
and Third streets, stood flag pole, in
closed by low post and rail fence.
At this early period there did not
seem to prevail so intense a desire to
accumulate wealth as now, and the
population turned out for general sport
and pastime on frequent occasion.
Here in this public square the men
used to assemble in the evening for the
purpose of playing what we termed
foot ball. There were no rules of the
game further than that portion of the
players strove to kick the ball down
the street while the other portion
sought to kick it up the street. Neither
was there any choosing of captains or
formal division of the players. The
game usually started by the giant Nc

PROHIBITION PLATFORM
The Platform Contains Several Panks-Each
of Vast Importance.

Following is the platform adopted by
the National prohibition party in its
convention at Indianapolis:
"The prohibition party in National
convention assembled, recognizing that
the chief end Of all government is the
establishment of those principles Of
righteousness and justice that have
been revealed to man ii, the will of the
loving God, and desiring his blessing
upon our national life, and believing in
the perpetuatiOn of the hign ideals of
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people, established by
our fathers, makes the following dec
laration of principles and purposes:
"F'irst-"The widely prevailing sys-
TEN of the licensed and legalized sale
Of alcohiic beverages is SO ruinous to
individual interests, so inimical to pub
lie welfare, so destructive TO national
wealth and so subversive of the rights
of great masses of our citizenship that
the destruction of the traffic is and has
been for years the most important
question in American politics.
"Second-\Ve denounce the lack of
craftsmanship exhibited by the leaders
of the democratic and republican par
ties in their refusal to recognize the
paramount Importance OF this question
and the cOwardise with which the lead
ers of these parties have courted the
favor OF those whose selfish interests
are advanced by the continuation and
augmentation of the traffic, until today
the inhence of the liquor traffic prac-
tically dominates national, state and
local government throughout the ma
ton.
"Thild-We declare as truth, dem
onstratcd by the experience of half
century. that all methods OF dealing
with the liquor traffic which recognize
it's right to exist in any form, under
any system of license or tax or regula-
ton, have proved powerless to remove
its evils and useless as Il check upon
it's growth, while the insignificant
public revenues which have accrued
therefrom have scared the public con-
science against Il recognition of its
inequity.
ave call public attention to the fact
proved by the experience of more than
fifty years, that to secure the enact
ment and enforcement of prohibitory
legislation, in which alone lies hope OF
the protection of the people from the
liquor traffic, it is necessary that the
legislative, executive and judicial
branches of the government should be
in the hands of Il political party in
harmony with the prohibition princi-
pie and pledged to it's embodiment in
law and to the execution of those laws.
"Fifth-We pledge the prohibition
party, wherever given power by the
! suffrage of the people, to the enact

ment and enforcement Of the laws pro-
hibitilg and aboli,hng the manufac-
ture, importation, transportation and
sale Of alcoholic beverages
"SiXth-We declare that there is
not only no other no other issue Of
equal Importance before the American
people today, but that the so called is
sues upon which the democratic and
republican parties seek to divide the
electorate of the country are in large
part subterfuges under the cover of
which they range for the spells of Of
fee.
Seventh -Recognzing that the in
telliyent voters of the country may
properly ask our attitude upon other
questions of public concern, we declare
ourselves in favor of:
"The impartial enforcement of all
laws.
1.-The safeguarding of peoples rights
bv rigid application of the principles
of justice to all combinations and Or
CARNATIONS of capital and labor.
"A more intimate relation between
the people and government by wise
adaptation of the principle of initiative
and referendum.
"The safeguarding to every citizen
in every place under the government OF
the people of the United States OF all
the rights guaranteed by the laws and
and the constitution.
"International arbitration, and de-
clare that our nation should contribute
in every manner consistent with ma
tional dignity to the permanent estab-
lishment of peace between nations.
"The reform of our divorce laws,
lenial sxtirpation of poligamy, and the
total overthrow of the present shameful
system OF illegal sanction of the social
evil, with its unspeakable traffic in
girls, by the municipal authorities Of
almost all our cities.
1--WE declare ourselves in favor Of
recognition of the fact that the right
OF suffrage should depend upon the
mental and moral qualifications OF the
citizen.
1--WE declare ourselves 10 favor OF
such changes in our laws as will place
tariff schedules in the hands of nOn-
partisan commission.
I'VE declare ourselves in favor OF
the application OF uniform laws for all
our country and dependencies.
"We declare ourselves in favor of
the extension and honest aGministra-
ton of the civil service laws.
1--WE declare ourselves in favor of
the election Of United States senator's
