Old SET TIERS
ASSOCIATION
Annual Reunion win Be Held al
Green Lake Chautauqua
on July Second.

To the members of the Kandiyohi
County Old Settlers Association:
Some time ago suggestion was
made to your committee to post
pone the annual meeting of the AS
ISOLATION until the second day of
July and have it in connection with
the Green Lake Chautauqua. The
committee considered the matter
carefully and consulted with some
of the original members of the As
ISOLATION. all of whom seemed to
favor the plan. It was therefore
decided by a unanimous vote to try
the experiment this year, and the
meeting will be held on the date
named. The principal reasons for
making this change are
First, we shall have the free use
of the new auditorium for our pro-
gram meeting. Everybody who
has ever attended an open air meet
ing of the Association knows that
except to a few persons who stand
right by the speakers, the program
might just as we'll be rendered in
one of the dead languages. There
is so much noise and confusion all
around; the people get tired of
standing still and those on the out
side Of the circle, being unable to
hear anything, begin to talk and
thus still further limit the area in
which the speaking is audible, un-
til the latter part of the program
becomes mere pantomine. This
is especially true at the Green Lake
pavilion, where the meeting would
have been held if called for the
regular time.
Second, there are very many of
the members of the association from
Willmar and vicinity that could not
attend unless a special train were
run from Willmar, and that is a
difficult thing to get nowadays and
one on which the Association runs
the risk of losing a considerable
sum if the weather is unfavorable.
During the Chautauqua this diff
Guilty is eliminated by the special
train service that enables the men,
bers to spend the entire day at the
lake.
| Third, during the Chautauqua
there will be numerous other at
fractions that will enable the men,
bers to spend a pleasant and profit
able day, while the arrangements
are such that nothing will interfere
with the Association program. We
have the free use of the auditorium
from one to three o'clock in the af-
ternoon, the regular Chautauqua
program being postponed till three
o'clock.
| For these reasons the change has
been made this year. If the Asso-
citation should desire it, we under
stand that the Chautauqua manage
ment is willing to make arrange
ments for making the Old Settlers
Day an annual feature of their pro-
gram. This will be matter for
the Association itself to decide at
the meeting this year.
| On account of the numerous con-
ventions this month during the first
part of July, there has been some
difficulty in securing speaker for
the occasion, delaying the publica-
ton of the program. The program
will, however, be published next
week. Committee.

there is no election ahead, or when
there is prosperity that might be
disturbed or business stagnation
that might be made worse. 1t also
stands by the principle of recipro-
city, provided it can be obtained
without changing any of the tariff
schedules. 1t views with alarm
any attempt of the democrats to
reform the tariff by reducing it in
any instance.
The republican party believes in
sound money, based on something
with an intrinsic and Interchangeable
value, such as railroad bonds and
other bank assets. 1t believes that
it is the duty of the government to
back up the banks as security for
the money issued, but that it is not
the business of the government tc
issue any money. In this matter
the government should be guided
by business principle, it being an
established fact that the good bust.
ness man would rather sign some.
body else's notes as security thar
issue his own notes for advancing
his own business.
The republican party views with
alarm the efforts of several states
to regulate railroad traffic within
their own borders, which is clearly
an attempt to destroy the central
government and establish state
sovereignty. The national govern.
ment has the authority to regulate
interstate traffic, and the constitu.
tion did not intend that there should
be any other regulation. The PEG.
pie of the several states must bea,
the burdens laid on traffic within
the states, as it is better that they
do this than that a democratic doc.
trine should be recognized to any
extent. Furthermore, there is still
some competition for long distance
hauling from terminal points, and
the railroads ought to have the
privilege of seeking it to the locaI
traffic to make up for what they
lose by this competition. This is
in accordance with the doctrine OF
reciprocity, which is one of the sa.
cred tenets of our party.
We point with pride to the many
years Of prosperity enjoyed by the
country under republican rule, and
all the product of the wise legisla.
tion Of our party. (The panic OF
last fall and the reduction of in.
dustry throwing hundreds of thou.
sands of men out of employment was
an inevitable result of natural eau.
ses not clearly understood but fo1
which the republican party is not
to blame.)
We point with pride to the fact
that our brilliant standard bearer
William H. Taft, holds the long
distance travelling record of two
continents, and can be relied on to
be always at his post, provided the
post be made movable and has a
good salary attached to it. Furth-
ermore, in his own person he typi-
fies the glorious emblem of the re-
publican party-the full dinner

The average fall Of snow was 0.8 of
an inch in the western division and 1O.4
inches in the eastern division.
liqht Snowfall,

Light Snowfall.
The snowfall of the first month of
1908 was, on the whole, unusually light,
ranging from the average of former
Januarys to much below The greatest
deficiency in snowfall was on the west
ern slope of the Cascade mountains,
where in several localities, the total
snowfall was less than one half the av-
erage of former seasons. Much of the
precipitation that occurred was in the
form of rain, thus packing the snow,
and therefore the water content Of the
latter is great, BUT the total precipita-
ton from both rain and snow was not
fully up to the normal.
On the eastern slope. embracing the
headwaters of the Methow, Wenatchee,
Yakima and White Salmon rivers, the
deficiency was not so great, the great
est departure being about one-third
less than normal. In the Okanogan
highlands there was in most localities
about the average snowfall In the Blue
mountains. as nearly as can be judged
from the small number of reports, the
amount of SNOW was an average one. -
In all localities of the state the
monthly snowfall was much less than
in January. 1907.
The ranchers in the valleys of the
eastern slope are satisfied with the
snowfall, and look for an ample sup
ply of water for the ensuing season.
