ENERVATING TRIP
Auto Goes to Bad on Canal In
spection Tour, and
They Walk.
AFTER MILES IN THE MUD
THEY CATCH SAN PEDRO
Only Few Miles of the Jordan
and Salt Lake Canal Is
Gone Over.

SIX tired and disgusted City Councilmen
embarked from San Pedro train Fri
day afternoon and wended their way
homeward. after an encrvating trip over
a portion of tho Jordan and Salt Lake
canal and the country contiguous thereto
Machine Breaks Down.
Light OF heart. Councllmen O'Donnel,
Crabtrce Carter, Fcrnstrom Barnes and
HOLIDAY took an automobile Friday NOM
ing for Crescent the intention being to
walk back to the city over the line or the
Jordan and Salt Lake canal. When with
I'm a mile and a half OF Crescent. how
ever, their auto gave one despolring ChuS
and settled down In the mud.
Decided to Walk.
Efforts were made 10 revive the ma
chimes dropping spirits, but they were In
vain. and the doughty city eolons de-
clded TO walk the remainder OF the dls-
tance. This they did, after which they In
spected several miles OF the canal. The
bridges were found to be In bad repair,
and II was also the concensus OF opin-
lon that the canal needed a thorough
cleaning.
Four Miles Through Mud.
After this inspection. the Councilmen
started overland for Sandy, where. after
a four-mllc walk through the mud, tEey
caught a San Pedro train for home. The
next time the Councilmen start out In an
auto they will uSe horses.

PRIZE FIGHT AT JUNCTION.

Nearly all of Southern Benton
went to Junction to celebrate. In
fact Southern Benton furnished
much Of the talent for the occasion.
Milt Barnett was grand marshal
and George Houck was one of his
chief aids. Ed Belkuap delivered
the Grafton, and it is described as
splendid one. The crowd was

enormous, and man who was there
said it seemed to him as if every
other face he gazed into belonged
in South Benton.
A big feature, not down on the
program was prize fight. A bad
feud had existed for long time be-
tween two big huskies who happen
ed to be on the ground. It was
at last determined that they would
go outside the city limits and settle
it. The fact got noised about, and
the officers got to studying to see
what right they had to interfere.
Before this knotty problem was
settled, an enormous crowd had
followed the principals to the battle
ground, there had been three fierce
rounds, and one of the fighters had
hoisted the white flag. When the
officers got ready to get into action
the whole thing was over and the
party enroute to rejoin in the fes
tivities of the celebration. The
fight was straighout stand up and
knock down, pugilist fashion, and
it is allowed now that the fued will
be declared off and the two men be-
come friends. The mill was with
out referee and without rules.

RICH IRWIN'S BEES.
And Distress They Give Him
Settled in his Chimney
After Swarning.

Men get bees in their bonnets,
but that isn't where ex-County
Commissioner Rich Irwin has 'em.
Mr.. Irwin's are in place where it
is much harder to get rid of them.
Recently he built new residence
on his farm, and among the other
appliances about it is fue. This
hue comes down flush with the wall
of the parlor, and Hthe hole where
the stove pipe is to be inserted was
pepered over and has been allowed
to so remain.
Not long ago bees on the Irwin
farm swarrhed, and whether or not
it was because the hue looked new
and clean, that is the spot the bees
steered for. and down deep in the
quietude and sanctity of its lowest
part they settled. Through the
thin paper that separates them from
his parlor, Rich can hear them
working, and from the top of his
beautiful chimney, where the smoke
ought to be, he can see them fog
ging. He doesn't fool around in
the parlor much stnce he made the
discovery, for fear the thin paper
might give way and expose his
alabaster person to the dangerous
guests on the inside. sM When he
passes that way, being a man of
considerable caution, he keeps both
ears open and an eye each on the
paper covering to his chimney and
the nearest means OF escape. What
he wants to know is how to get the
bees out in time to put a stove pipe
in for winter. He likes honey in
season and bees in their place, but
with the psalmist of old he thinks
to himself. "what profteth man
if he gain many bees and much
honey, but have no place to put
his stove pipe"
But there is still another phase of
the trouble that distresses Richard.
He has pair of Sunday breaches.
1t has occurred to him that any
bunch of bees fool enough to in.
habit chimney are just as likely
as not to select his best breeches as
a suitable place to settle in after
their next swarm. In his soberer
moments, he has reflected upon the
discomfort that might come to him
should he attempt to put on these
breeches with a swarm of bees and
a lot of honey already in them.
The thought led him first to hide
Iunmentionables under the family
Bible, and thea TO hang them in
the barn. Neither place seemed
safe in the vicinity of such band
of bees, and at last accounts he had
buried them. If, in thenear future
the neighbors discover Rickard
with all his goods on the family
wagon, leaving the farm, it will then
be known to them that Richard has
abandoned his house to the pestif'
erous bees and is treking to some
spot where he can wear his Sunday
pants in peace, undisturbed by bee:
and honey.

THE SUPREME COURT
Passes on Very Important Matter-in
Tax Title Case From Seattle.

OLYMPIA, Aug. 1.-The heirs of a
Seattle pioneer cannot set aside tax
sale of his property, according to de-
cision of the supreme court rendered
today in the case of Lucy G Sherman
others against Treasurer SchOmber, of
Thurston county.
ID. S. Hyde, one of the Seattle pio-
neers, owned lands in this county on
which he failed to pay the taxes. Ger.
tificates of delinquency were issued to
John a. Rea, who in 1902 brought suit
against d. S. Hyde and Mrs. ID. S.
Hyde, and foreclosed the certificates.
The action was brought to set aside the
tax sale. 1t was shown that Mr.. Hyde
was widower during the years he
owned the property, and further that
he had been dead two years before the
tax suit was brought naming him as
defendant. But the supreme court
says that tax foreclosures are proceed
ings in rem and do not run against the
individuals, but against the property
Suit to foreclose tax lien, if against
the person to whom the property was
assessed, is sufficient notice to all
claimants.

FLOATER IS CREMATED
Great Crowd Gathers on the Beach to
Watch Body Burn.

BELLINGHAM, Aug. 2.-To have been
accidently drowned or to have met
death by violence, followed by the
cremation of the body upon the rocks
of the beach, was the fate of Fraser
river fisherman, whose badly decom-
posed remains were found floating 10
the kelp near Racoon point, Orcas is
land, last Monday.
The cremation was witnessed by a
number of Bellingham people who are
camped near the spot where the body
was found.
Driftwood and brush we've heaped in
pile, and, with a strong westerly
wind tanning the flames, the mans re.
mains were hurled into the burning
mass. AS soon as it became known
that the mans body would be publicly
cremated, crowds came from every di.
rection. Spectators climbed trees and
sat upon the banks aud vantage points
adjoining the beach and waited for the
event.
The funeral pyre was kept burning
for many hours, and when the ashes
were cleared away no vestage OF the
remains marked the grewsome affair.
