1.-THE RaSmuffin Brigade"
BY J. P. LEWTAS.

BYJP LEwTAs.
One bright and early morning on the grand
and sunny Fourth,
A band OF gay old farmers were seen to sally
forth;
With flags and banners waving and dress
in style so gay,
You'd think they'd left behind them, the job
of making hay.
The float from Finley's townsite, the likes
you meier have seen
Twas filled with lovely creatures and Ed
ward Angeles Queen,
Next came De Bowles and Sellim Kanoutz-
Ka Thank and Smith,
Twould fill eur hearts with gladness just to
see Old Chichen Smith.
There was one. old Captain Fisher like
Napoleon Bonapa te,
And az he rode past Tulls great store he
broke the ladies' hearts,
And should the rain have fallen, he'd hoist
his umbrella high,
For, Godfrey said that Finleyites. were
always warm and dry.
Old General Heddington was there, with
him none can compare,
TO see that martial look he had would surely
curl your hair;
Cox and Desellem rode cart that had from
Ireland came,
DeSellem's pants were far too short-the
ladies said for shame.
None could but say the boys looked, all
dressed in colors gay,
And to think they'd all been raised on our
fine alfalfa hay:
Some danced in Kennewick till midnight and
came home in the dark,
You could not ride section but you'd hear
someone remark:
There goes some Finley Booster who's quiet
ly sneaking home.
To the land of Sand and sagebrush where the
coyotes love to roam,
With patriotic feelings and trapping gaily
worn,
He vowed that he would get there. if it took
till early morn.
Some made vow within them tho they'd
oft been there before,
And altho' they'd had glorious time. their
head was feeling sore.
They'd seen a funny buggy with a mule all
smeared with gore,
When blow me up gum tree If it wasn't
Billy Moore.
And now a word of Uncle Sam whom Retz-
elOff portrayed,
Whose legs were long, but seemed to lack
The meat that should have stayed; ;
The men of old who rode before OH donkeys
fine and gay,
Their paths were strewn with lovely palms.
But his was strewn with hay.
And now my many readers just listen to my
song,
And come and join the Finley Hosts,
And you'll surely do no wrong.

Eiy's Fine Peach Orchard.

Again the reclamation of the arid
land of the Columbia River Valley
has proven a success and another
result of what the fertile, volcanic,
ash soil of this famous valley will
produce when properly irrigated
and cultivated, is seen on the 5
acre ranch of 1. NJ. Ely, of Hover,
one of the prettiest irrigated spots
in the valley. Mr.. Ely planted
$50 Alberta peach trees on two
acres Of his tract and will receive
an immense yield this year altho
the trees are only 8 years old.
These trees were planted 80 feet
apart each way and received the
best of care, as everything gets on
the Ely ranch, and will yield an
average of five boxes per tree or
1850 boxes from the 2-acre orchard
The small peaches were so thick on
the trees this spring, that it was
found necessary to cut about one
half of the fruit in order to give the
remainder an opportunity to ma
ture and at present the small trees
are so loaded it was necessary to
furnish supports for some of their
branches.

SHUMATE SAYS
A POOR MAN is BARRED

A dispatch from Aspen states that
Judge Shumate, in an interview yes
terday, was asked if he is a candi-
date for the supreme court bench.
and he made thesfollowing answer:
ANY lawyer would appreciate the
honor of acting on the supreme
bench; but, on account of the heavy
assessment that it is customary for
the party to levy upon a candidate
for this position. the poor man is
barred from seeking the office"
The judge, while fairly well off,
is not wealthy, and feels that the
assessment is beyond his means. He
has had long career in the legal
side of Colorado politics. having act
ed at various times as district at

There are now more convicts con-
fined in the state penitentiary than
ever before in the history of the
prison. With the arrival of four
prisoners from Vernal yesterday, the
total number of convicts was in
creased to 252. The four new ar
rivals were all sentenced for statu-
tory offenses. All the cells in the
prison are filled, and the former
woman's ward is being used to pro-
vide accommodations for the unusual
number of prisoners. This was made
possible because among the 252 pris-
oners there is only one woman. 1t
is expected that the new cell house
at the penitentiary will be completed
by October /, after which there VIII
