Colony Whereabouts.

FRIEND AIKEN: In compliance
with your request | will give you
few items regarding the Redwood
colonyain and about Spokane.
The Bowers family are nicely To-
Gated on w. First avenue, about
fourteen blocks from the business
centre. We are quite near the
Washington school and the Carnegie
library. We have formed many new
acquaintance and found the people
very friendly and cordial. Spokane
is very stirring town and growing
very fast. One organization for the
purpose of making things hum is the
hundred and fifty thousand club"
organized as its name indicates to
build up the city. One of the great
est operations undertaken recently
is the building of a Young Mems
Christian association building to cost
$160,0O0. The brick work is nearly
done and as there was about $50, 900
to be raised by subscription the
hundred and fifty thousand club
undertook to circulate subscription
lists and raise the amount by Dec.

Redwood Falls still holds warm

climate, her grand and rugged seen

diversified resources.
Just now we are entering upon the.
season which offers the greatest con-
trast to Minnesota, the mild and
sunny winter. To be sure, we may
once in while get a heavy snow,
possibly foot or two at time; but
that will only bring JOY to the ranch
men, for much of the water there

GEO. CBROWNE IN CLOVER.
That is, He and His Family are Happy
at OOverdaIe, California.

Ed. GAZETTE: A short letter at
this season of the year thru your
columnsssto my old friends of your
city, Delhi andtNorth Redwood will,
l believe, be of some interest to
many of your, readers. After leav-
ing North Redwood in May | visited
ten days with E. C. Powers and w.
J. Browne at Great Falls, Montana.
Mr.. Powers is a police officer in
Great Falls and w. J. Browne was
in the service of the Great Northern
railway as brakeman at that time,
but was afterwards killed in rail
way accident.
l enteredsthe service of the North
ern Pacific railway as telegraph
operator May 9th and resigned on
June Goth on account of not finding
suitable school advantages for my
children at Hauser, Idaho. While
at Hauser Mrs. Browne and children
visited the family of John Anderson
at Trent, Wash, and Mrs. Dorothy
House at Rathdrum, Idaho, both
being old Delhi friends. | also met
DR.. H. E. Schlegel and George Dick
inson at Spokane. All appeared to
be prospecting beyond expectation in
their new homes.
We are now comfortably settled
at home, and convinced that there is
no place quite so desirable as Clover
dale for a home. Our first heavy
rain of the season fell to-day, two
and one-half inches. The ther-
mometer never goes below &c de-
grees above in the winter, with
perpetual sunshine from May till
November perfect weather for con-
tinuous outdoor life, even to Sleep
ing in the pure open air.

18th. So little remains at this
writing that l have no doubt that
they will perform what they have
undertaken. And that is a sample
of the way these Westerners do
things.
Spokane is constantly projecting
and building electric lines to the
territory tributary to the city and
it must have about as much terri
tory to draw from as st. Paul and
Minneapolis and when the country is
settled and developed it will GER
tainly make very large city. Farm
ers claim that they raise good crops
of vegetables, grain and fruits with
out irrigation and the towns in this
part of Washington, including Spo-
kane, furnish a good market for
fruit, vegetables and dairy products
and the future growth will cause an
increasing demand for all these pro-
auctions and make farming very
profitable here.
| doubt if there is any other coun-
ty where there are as many people
who have formerly lived in the vicinity
of Redwood Falls, as in Spokane
county. Thei Anderson brothers
from Delhi, Julius Sperber of Flora
and JOS. Kinchen from North Red
wood are prosperous ranchmen
few miles east of here.
G. H. Richardson of North Red
wood is agent at Hilliard, a suburb.
Mr.. Graff,sS. G. Peterson's old part
ner, has soldRout and is nov on
fruit ranch at Kennewick, but his
son Victor5is here.
Mr.. McBurney in the whole
sale, and Geo. Dickinson with Frank
Curtis to help in the retail lumber
business, are all. doing well. Gus.
Curtis with his mother and sister are
also here and Gus. works for
lumber company.
DR.. Schlegel has very large prac-
tice nowiand is busy all the time.
Walter Martin is hustling in real
estate and makings things move.
Guy...Rowe andl Charlie Buxton,
with their families, are living here
now. Guy bought him home here
and Charlie has sold his property at
Wenatchee and is looking around
little before investing again.
Mrs. ssRowe and daughter, Mrs.
Johnson and Mrs. Johnson's family
also reside here.
Mrs. Clark is at present residing
with DIR. Schlegel and has bought

IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
A Former EkitOr of The Gazette Writes
About Redwood Natives There.

DEAR Mr.. AIKEN: Your letter,
stating that you contemplated a
special Christmas edition of The
Gazette and requesting information
as to former Redwoodites now liv-
ing in and about Los Angeles, has
just been received.
Those living in this city now are,
S. J. F. Ruter and daughter Myrtle,
Judge and Mrs. Wallin, Wilson
Moore, Valore Tenney, Will Hub
bard and wife formerly Alice
Stickle), the Allen Bros. and Roy
Martin.
Mrs. Moore lives on ranch about
ten miles from the city and her son
Byron and Emma Mrs. Linville)
live on an adjoining ranch.
c.. C. Sickle, since the death of
Mrs. Sickle some three years ago,
has spent much of his time in Santa
Barbara. Samuel Sickle and wife,
Mrs. Slingerland and family and DR..
Stoddard's also live at Santa Bar
bara.
C. Wiltshire lives about three
miles from San Bernardino. Their
daughter, Clara, is clerk in a bank
in that city, and Grace teaches at
Long Beach, about 20 miles from
this city.
The Claysons are at Corona,
formerly South Riverside and Chas.
George at San Diego.
The Conways. father and son,
lived here several years. Homer
was interested in a health restau-
rant but he has sold out and, l
understand, is now on a ranch near
by.
Robt. Wilson, Mrs. Chandler and
others of their connection live in
the vicinity of San Francisco.
think that all the former Red
wood people are well except Byron
Moore. who has been seriously i'll
and is not yet encouragingly better.
Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Linville own
good ranches which have shared
very literally in the advance in
values which has come to that class
of property in recent years.
Judge Wallin, as you know, re-
tired from the bench some three
years ago, on account of impaired
hearing. He purchased a delightful
home in this city and seems inclined
to spend his remaining years in the
enjoyment of CALIFORNIA; inviting
climate. The Judge has not lost any
of his ability to entertain, but has
dropped something of his $50 pounds
avoirdupois, altho his health is very
good indeed. Mrs. Wallin is very
well. Their daughter, Madeline,
lives in Chicago, is married and has
two charming children. She has
visited Los Angeles twice.
Mr.. Ruter has been benefited in
health by his residence in California
and is pretty vigorous considering
his seventy-eight years. Miss Ruter
has also been benefited ct was for
her health they came to California;
And-but please don't mention it
she will terminate her life of single
blessedness soon.
Wilson Moore and Valore Tenney
are both prosperous in their business
and are accommodating property.
Miss Belle Tenney, who has lived
in San Franciaco for fifteen years
and had frightful experience dur
ing the earthquake, visited Los
Angeles short time ago. She was

CO.4L AND OIL INQUIRY.
Interstate Commission VIII Begin It's Work
in West Virginia.

WASHINGTON, March 1~6.-Announce-
ment is made that the Interstate Com
merce Commission has practically COM
pleted its plans for the inquiry to be made
under the Tillman-Gillespie resolution
with a view to as~certaining the relations Of
certain railroads with the coal and oil
industries. Many conferences have been
held during the week, and according to the
present programme conditions in West
Virginia will be the first subject of inquiry,
The letter OF Gov. Rawson of that State
to Senator Tiilman of South Carolina, in
which it was declared that a combination
of railroads existed in West Virginia that
stihed competition, was the direct proyoca-
ton for the introduction of the Tillman
resolution. For that reason the commits
sion is DESTROYS of beginning it's work in
West Virginia, where large btu minous
mines are located. 1t is probable that
hearings will be held simultaneously at
other points.
The resolution calls for an investigation
in the anthracite coal fields and of the oil
industry, the charge having been made
that relations exist between these enter
prises and the carriers which in effect
freeze out independent operators.

TAFT HAS MORE TINE.
Not to lie Decided Until Fall whether lie
VIII Succeed Justice Brown.


WASHINGTON, March 1e.-The final de-
cision as to whether Secretary of War
William H. Taft will succeed associate
Justice Brown as a member OF the Supreme
Court has been postponed indefinitely,
and the matter will not be finally disposed
of until next summer or fall. An official
statement which was made at the White
House to-day said that as Mr.. Justice
Brown will not retire until June, when the
Supreme Court will take a vacation until
the second Monday in October, the Presi
dent would take further time to reach a
decision.
If next fall the President still desires that
Mr.. Taft go to the Supreme Court, Mr.;
Taft will accept the offer. 1t is expected
that ultimately he will take a place on the
Supreme Court bench. The name Of Mr..
Taft is not the only one the President will
consider. Future developments will have
much to do with the final settlement Of the
question. II it appears a few months from
now that the Secretary of War cannot be
spared from his present position. the Presi-
dent will not ask him TO make the change.
1t is known, however, that If at any time
Mr.. Taft should request that the appointment
be given him the President VIII grant the
Secretary's desire.
The statement made at the White House
to-day is as follows: .
"As Mr.. Justice Brown will not retire until
June, when the Supreme Court will take a
vacation until the second Monday in Octo-
Der, and no public inconvenience can arise
from a vacancy continuing through the
vacation, the President will take further
time to decide the question of Mr.. Justice
Browns successor. Several names, in
Guiding that of Secretary Taft, have been
under consideration, but no decision has
been reached or is likely to be reached or
announced in the near future"

hired a gang of outthroats to do away with
his nephew because the latter insisted on

he is convinced Of the facts in the case he
is positive that to prove them would be
utterly impossible.
