Eairview.

The estimable correspondent from
the would-be or so-called West Riv-
erside, who lives in Fairview, al
though, and he would call this
neighborhood West Riverside after
the name of their farm, who the pen
pusher for Fairview has all due re-
spect for, and the entire neighbor-
hood of Fairview greets and holds,
with the most tender and neighborly
consideration, still persists in
calling this section name
other and foreign to what is
name other and foreign to what is
just and right. Now the worthy
correspondent from Fairview recog-
nizes and comedies the efficiency of
the correspondent from this section
sailing under another banner, will
not ask valued prize of or deprive
our neighbor of so good and great
an Office as correspondent. But
would advise Gas advice has been
asked from the correspondent from
West Riverside?") that you drop
that very inappropriate name of
West Riverside" and accept the
pen pushership for Fairview. The
Fairview correspondent would gladly
give up this great Office and save
the further controversy and agita-
ton now over this section of Yaki-
mas best fruit section, than to get
the river course any nearer the fair.
| figrounds and spoil this good spot or
lose the only and most appropriate
name that could ever be handed
down to our children by any mortal
hand.
That the readers of the Herald and
the correspondent from west River
side" may see how unpopular the
newborn name of West Riverside"
stands among the residents of this
neighborhood and how dear and
loyal they stand by Old Fairview, We
correspondent has to first see that it
was right before going ahead.
/ Intercepted few for this COM
munication who our West Riverside
correspondent would have living in
the West Riverside neighborhOod.
the first party we met was Mr.. c. A.
ROades:
Mr.. Roades, where do you live and
what do you think of the new name
given to your neighborhOOd?
"Wny, don't think it would stand
in vote. Fairview would get an
unanimous vote. We have all got
ten attached to the name Fairview.
II any one wants a Riverside, they
will have to go over to Mckee. No,
the name "West Riverside" is not
appropriate and we don't like it,
There is West Riverside down in
the new Benton county, not my
neighborhood"
County Fruit Inspector ]. NJ.
Brown was next seen, when the
same questions were asked and like
answers returned. Mr.. Brown
said:
"Fairview is the name we old
settlers gave that neighborhood and
we mean to stay by Fairview. We
don't propose that new people shall
come in and give 1t a new name.
Our neighborhood is one of the best
fruit sections in the state, and West
Riverside is no reasonable name for
it, anyway. No, l don't live in
West Riverside know no such
place; my home is in old Fairview."
Edward Remy, when seen, said:
you saw in The Herald last week
how I stood on that subject. have
not changed. We won't stand for
that name of West Riverside" to re-
place Fairview or no part of it.
don't think new people in this section
should strive to name the whole
community after the name of their
farm. We don't object to allowing
that new Riverside correspondent
calling his farm West Riverside, but
don't believe we should or will
stand calling the whole country
West Riverside II those parties
are not satisfied with Fairview and
its name, let them move to some
riverside; there are places of that
name in this county.
