It is the same old story Of evenly

to keep peace in a sparring tour is for
the manager to get sparring partner

Northwestern football team when they
learned that Nose eStrathern had

be likely football man, was nothing
more or less than prize-fghter. There
were some faint denials by the North

dropped from sight. - Y =

old role. He is out Oh the Pacific coast

of the question of improved seed corn.
Through the medium of the corn con-

much information was derived. Most

It's all over. The Republican coun-
ty convention, like the circus, has
come and gone, ana the town after a
nights we'll earned rest will awake
this morning and find only the cold,
gray sky OF everyday life overhead.
If the silent walls OF the new Weed
building could talk, they could tell
of realized ambitions and wrecked
hopes, of exultation and disappoint-
ment, enough to make a big book.
Not that the convention was notably
different from any other. 1t wasn't,
but where there are so many candi-
dates. there are so many that must
be disappointed.
The convention got down to business
Saturday morning at 1890. Chairman
Coleman called II to order and tenn
porary organization was effected by
electing II. =. Scudder chairman, f.
H Taylor secretary and T. w. Roach
assistant secretary. 1t was decided TO
appoint committees on credentials, or

then adjourn to o'clock p. m. Chair

citation, and when over in Seattle about
a month ago, met him and happened to
speak of the work over in North
Yakima, in which he at once became
interested, asking the names of men
identified with the movement This
letter to Mr.. Miller followed.
mfr. Lehman shows his belief in the
Y. NJ. C. A. movement by being one Of
the active supporters of the Seattle
association, and by having his sons
join it as soon as they are old enough.
At present he has two boys, who take
in the gymnasium and Bible class
work regularly, belong to the boys
clubs for which they are eligible. go
on the hikes and attend the summer
camps and he says that there Is no
institution in which he would rather
have his sons grow up than the Y. M.
c. A., and he makes this statement
after careful study of the association
and other agencies for boys and young
men. This is probably his reason for
thus contributing to the work outside
Of his own city and should be an in
centive and an encouragement to the
business men of this city to see that
there he no lack for & similar organi-

SATCHEz SHORT on HOPS.
Lack of Water Causes Complaint
Among Hop Growers.

Among Hop Growers.
It is reported on reliable authority
that the hop crop in several large
yards west Of town is not turning
out as well as was expected. on
one ranch nearly twenty acres were
gone over, it is said. before enough
hops were found TO begin operations
on.
The reason of the shortage, many
Of the farms claim was because the
water was not turned "a until a
month after it was due and then no.
in sufficient quantity to satisfy their
needs. While the water vas out Of
the ditch the hop growers dug holes
through the banks. causing several
bad breaks. causing much delay in
the deliver Of water. Most All the
yards, so orr informant claims. show
the lack OF water in small hops and
poor vines.
