possessed the men to fill these high po-
sitions, and it certainly had them in the
three honored citizens. Judge Whitson,
Judge Rudkin and Congressman Jones
Ira p. Englehart responded happily to
the toast, sour Congressman" paying a
deserved tribute to Hon. w. l.. Jones
for the work he had done and the results
that had been accomplished. His speech
also contained tribute to Judge Whit
son, and the hope was expressed that
the court over which he had been called
to provide would some time be brought
to North Yakima. This sentiment was
heartily cheered.
1t was with heartfelt emotion that
Fred Parker responded to the toast
Twenty Years Partnership" He said
that he drifted into the Yakima country
% years ago from the ranges Of Texas.
Settling in the sparsely inhabited coun-
try he became acquainted with Mr.. Whit
son whom even the natives knew as
"klose tillicum." A partnership with
the Judge was formed, which was dis.
solved after year or two, but was re-
sumed about 20 years ago. 81 think I
know WhitsOn," he said, "bctter than
any other man in the state knows him.
Our partnership has been longer than
any other in the state, and in all its
existence there has never been jarring
word or word Of i'll feeling" This oc-
casion. he said, was one of mingled Joy
and sadness for him; he rejoiced that
the ambitions of his partner had been
realized and felt that the president could
not have found better or more capa-
BILE man in the state for the judgeship,
yet it was one Of the greatest sorrows
of his life that the parting of their
ways had come as consequence of the
appointment.
R. X. Nichols response to early Jul
risprudence on the Pacific Coast" was one
of the ablest on the program. From his
fund of knowledge of the early days Of
law and practice in the west he drew
a number of lessons that were interest
ing to all, but particularly to the men,
bers of the profession. He contended
that the jurisprudence of the Pacific
coast was in no sense development,
but was transplanting of that of 9th
err countries. Among the early jurists
of California were many eminent and
able jurists, and how well they labored
the jurists of the present day can at
test and the law books now show.
B. +. Barge spoke eloquently of "The
President of the United States" cit
ing him as an ideal of the American cit
izen, worthy of emulation by all. Ed
ward Parker's address on "The Federal
Judiciary" was able and was well re-
ceived. Judge Preble made character
istically strong and brilliant address,
his subject being Equity" Col. How
lett in his usual happy vein gave sew
eral "reminiscences in his memory of the
guest of honor. DR.. Hare responded in
|
"reminiscences" Lee c. Dele talked
briefly but entertainingly of "The Gil
ent." w. H. Thompson responded to
the toast, "The Law in Municipal Poll
tics" c. E. Forsythe spoke of the trials
of newcomers from the eastern courts
in the practice of law in the western
courts. j. L. Wards address on "Com-
mon Law" was both instructive and en-
PERTAINING. L. O. Meigs offered few
criticisms and paid high tribute to
the last legislature. The program was
closed with tribute to "The Ladies'" by
J. II. Lynch.
The guests of the bar association
were Gov. Mead, Hon. Edward Whitson
Fred Parker, Fl. J. Snively, vestal Sny.
