along the Yakima river, near Ellen1-
burg, the county seat. The county
contains an area of 5,4l4 square miles,
hemmed in between the Cascade and
Wenatchee mountains on the west and
north, respectively; the Columbia
river on the east and an artificial
boundary on the south separating i,
from Yakima county.
The surface of the western part is
| very rugged, possessing wild beauty
that is greatly enhanced by the pres
ence of three lakes of considerable size,
Gle F,lum, Kachees and KitchelOs and
number of smaller dimensions, but of
no less beauty and charm. The prin
cipal stream of the county is the pic
turesque Yakima river, which rise, in
Lake Keechelus and flows through the
entire length of the county, being fed
as it progresses by numerous streams
the kachees, Gle Elum and Teanaway
rivers and the Swauk, Tanum, Man
ashtash Reeser, Wilson. Nahum and
Cherry creeks.
The main highway of the county is
the Northern Pacific railroad, which
traverses it from end to end, entering
from the west through the famous
Stampede tunnel, soon finding the
gOege of the Yakima river and closely
hugging its banks until it energies into
the Kittitas valley, near Thorp, thence
crossing and recrossing the river ii i,
finally left mile or two to the west,
when after the broad valley is crossed
the river and railroad again meet and
the locomotives keep in sight of the
beautiful stream through picturesque
canyon until the extreme southern
boundary of the county is crossed, near
Raza station.
\ branch line a few miles in length
connects lsoslyn, the great coal mining
camp of the northwest, with CleElum
on the main line. Fine wagon roads
cross the county in every direction.
The summit of Mt. Stuart, the high
est point in the county, is Y,170 feet
above sea level The elevation of Mar
tin at the eastern portal of Stampede
tunnel is 2,7s2 feet, Easton ZIG; Gle
Elum, ,9ll feet; Teanaway, |, s+4 feet:
Bristol, 1,790 feet; Thorp, l,G40 feet:
and at Elensburg, l,5l0 feet.
The central portion of the county is
made up almost entirely of the great

tract of agricultural lands east of the

TO DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
Democratic Congressional Committee Appeals
For Popular Subscriptions.

To ALL DEMOCRATIC VOTERS:-lf
there ever was time in the history OF
the Democratic party for the mani
festation of loyalty and patriotism on
the part of its members, it is right
now.
IF we are to win Il victory and elect a
president two years hence, we must
first elect House of Representatives
this fall. \ Democratic House can
and will investigate every department
of the Government. With all of them
honeycombed by graft, the edges of
which, only, have been touched by re-
cent exposure and prosecutions, there
will be revelation of rottenness that
will astound the country. and create a
demand for Democratic Administra-
ton to clean the Government work.
shop.
TO win the House we need money to
defray legitimate expenses and get out
our vote. We have no protected mon
opOlies from which TO draw 10 HI our
Golfers, as they do those of the Repub-
lican party. We must, therefore, APP
peal to loyal Democrats for contribu-
lions.
Will you send us 81 at once, and in
return for this we will send you copies
of our campaign literature issued by
the Committee. You will have the
thanks of the entire Democratic party
for your favorable response to our re-
quest.

sion last June establishing joint rates
on grain. Judge Chadwick is on va
cation and the writ was issued by court
commissioner, G.. p. Hill. The review
is set for September II, before Judge
Chadwick
The commission is directed to APP
pear with papers, evidence, findings
and order relative to the joint rates
ordered. A voluminous affidavit was
filed by w. w. Cotton, general coun-
sci for the railroad. 1t sets up long
list of alleged errors and irregul ari-
ties of the proceeding in the hearing
and enumerates twenty-eight separate
grounds for error ia the findings of the
commission. 1t is claimed that J. A.
bayfield, of Pennington, was the only
witness before the commission who
complained of any injustice done.
The writ is based upon three sepa-
rate grounds of error alleged to have
been committed by the commission,
namely, rulings prejudicial to the re-
lator: that the commission exceeded
its jurisdiction, and that it acted lille
gally in making an order for joint
rates on grain from eastern Washing
ton points to the Sound not exceed l9i
cents per hundred weight.
The most important error alleged is
that the commission last June denied
the motion of the railroad to quash the
complaint upon the ground that the
act creating the comm ission provided
that before the commission shall order
Joint rates they must be satisfied thai
an injustice or injury will result to
shippers if the rate is not granted.
The railroad claims that the evi-
dence does not show an injustice has
been done or will result.
The railroad attorneys claim the
commission refused to furnish names
OF injured persons.
This is the first time review has
been ordered since the creation of the
commission.

made it necessary to burn all the bedding.
Two members Of the Spinster Branch have
been doing some Sunshine work that demands
special mention. A New England family-moth-
er and two daughters-was found in the most
distressing circumstances. The Oldest girl, earn
ing 50 week, struggled beyond her strength to
support the family and the lack of proper food.
the anxiety and worry natural to people who
have seen better days, have brought her to the
verge of nervous collapse The youngest girl,
who does errands for So % a week, is now the
sole breadwinner, and from that paltry sum
81 % is paid weekly for the rent of one room.
The Spinsters took the invalid to a doctor, pro-
