Former Tombstoner
 Passes Away

William Shaw, formerly superin.en. dent of the Hershal and old Guard properties in this district, died at Parker, Ariz7 ma, last week. The de- ceased was 63 years of age and suc- cumbed te the dread disease con- sumption. The news of his dem,se will be learned with a pain of regret by his many Tombstone friends. He leaves a wife and son at Tucson to whom the sympathy of the com munity is extended.
Tombstone epitaph., 1908-04-19

We may be rnorbidly sym pathetic over the lamentable misunderstanding which has occurred in the ranks of our republican brethren. Why, O, why should this direful political holacu>t sweep the seried ranks oi the 2 o.p. and unse,tle the situation in the approaching Republican Ma
 tional convention. Since :he Ample Taft and Strenuous Teddy have oiled the machine set ii in motion and fixed on the result, how deplorable that the republican wheelbarrow of Arizona should blow ruth lessly through allthe calcula- tions of the " big'ns" when every plan had been so care fully laid. Such things are unaccountable. Just think oi four whole delegates from Arizona, each with a half a vote, and the millions that vii. probably he handed them in the lobby for that fractional ballot. Too bad, too bad

TETON WORK
WILL PROGRESS
CHIEF ENGINEER DAVIS
BACK FROM INVESTIGATION
Water Users and Reclamation Service
Men Have Meeting-Tieton to
Be Finished On Time.

Chief Engineer A. p. Davis re-
turned from his trip to the Tieton
Monday afternoon and declared at A
meeting with the Tieton Water
Users the work would progress rap
idly from now on.
The extension asked for by the
water users, which would necessitate
the charging of the present canal,
in order to carry sufficient water TO
supply 1000 or 5000 more acres of
land would be prohibitive in cost
and could not be done.
Supervising Engineer D. c. Henry,
with offices at Portland, accompanied
Mr.. Davis and believes there is no
doubt but the canal will be COM
pleted for next seasons, 1909, use.
Mr.. Davis says the new force in
charge of the work is competent, and
he is satisfied it will rush the work
through.
He has never seen concrete forms
such as are in use on the Tieton be-
fore, but is confident hey will prove
substantial and is willing to assume
the responsibility on behalf of the
government.
The water users, represented by
the trustees, A. J. Splawn, H. NJ. Gill
boy III M .nf Gxad
with the forms as put in by Mr.
Weisberger, but owing TO his claims
that they would not be substantial
requested the government to send
Mr.. Davis here to pass upon the work.
Now that Mr.. Davis is assuming the
responsibility they are satisfied, and
in fact are well pleased with the
work.
Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Henry ad-
dressed the meeting, which was held
in the reclamation office Monday, and
while Mr.. Davis thought it doubtful,
the work could be completed as early
as Mr. Henry hoped. He declared
that after making many changes in
the department heads that the pres
ent officials would make wonderful
advances in the project.
They believe the cost of watering
the land will be kept under $50.
1t is thought the engineers will go
over the Sunnyside project today.

Sunnyside Hopes to Have OneEstab.
lished There.

SUNNYSIDE, Wash, Feb. 23.-At
the commercial club meeting the ex-
pertinent station committee reported
the prospects encouraging for the es-
adjustment of station here. A very
interesting Glitter from Prof. Spill
man, also one from Prof. S. o.
James, was read. Prof. B. w.
Thatcher of the state agricultural
station at Pullman will take the mat
ter up with the committee.
The club urged the committee on
county fair to proceed with their
project and get the movement on
foot soon.
Rev. Mr.. Burgess reported the or
ganization of Young Mems Christ
ian association, with Grin Patch pres
ident. The prospects are good for a
large membership and an aggressive
association.
The club adopted the slogan pro-
posed by the Ladies' Improvement
club: "Sunnyside, the Rose City OF
Washington"
In connection with Sunnyside mar
ket day, February 20, 1908, the club
has decided to offer a special dis
count on membership for all applica-
tions received on or before that date.

FARMER PREACHERS.
Find That Farming Is Profitable In
More Ways Than One
All Creeds.

Two dozen or more clergymen in
the Yakima valley, ranching and
making a good thing ut of it, fur
nish abundant disproof of the popu-
lar fiction that a minister of the
gospel is poor business men. Most
of the clergymen have no spiritual
charges at present, giving themselves
over to the more worldly task of pro-
viding a good living for their fami-
lies; some few carry on the ranch
work as an auxiliary to their pastoral
duties.
Probably the best-known ex-min-
lister of the Galley is Lee H. Johnson,
of Sunnyside. who has represented
his district in the legislature for sew
eral terms. Mr. Johnson was a
Methodist minister. Recognizing the
possibilities of the irrigated country
he was shrewd enough to buy land
in the early days OF the Sunnyside
boom, and is now man of wealth
and of more than local influence,
writes correspondent of the Seattle
P.-I.

A. H. Henry, of North Yakima, in
vested as he was able, in land here,
set it out to orchard, sold it at a
profit and bought more, managing
his real estate ventures SO success

his church and retired to his Mob
hill ranch to devote himself to liter
ature and farming. DR.. Henry is a

In harmony with established Gus
tom, and authorized by national
legislation, recommend a general
observance of Flag Day throughout
our commonwealth on Monday,
June fifteenth, and recommend that
there be a general display of the
stars and stripes upon our home
public buildings.
Since the observance of Flag Day
last year, another star has been
added to "Old Glory" and the adj

of the wing party, among the
wings, free sellers, and democrats
of that town. A call was issued for
public meeting TO consider the
grave issues which were assuming
an aspect of such alarming import
ance.
1.-The meeting thus called was
held in the congregational church
at Rlpon, Feb %, 1854 A resolu-
tion was adopted in the meeting
that if the bill then pending in the
senate to throw open to slavery the
territories of Kansas and Nebraska
should pass. the old party organiza-
tons in Ripon should be cast off,
and a new party, to be called the
Republican formed on the sole issue
of opposition to slavery extension.
The bill passed the senate, in which
body it originated. On March 3,
1854, and on March 90, the second
meeting, participated in by men of
all parties, was held, this time in a
schoolhouse, at which Bovay was
the leading spirit. By a vote of
the assemblage the town committees
OF the whig and free soil parties
were dissolved, and a committee of
five-three wings, one democrat,
and one free soiler-was chosen to
begin the task of forming a new
party. At these two meetings was
started the earliest systematic work
begun anywhere in the country to
bring about the coalition of the
enemies of slavery extension, who
were eventually fused into homo
geneous and aggressive party,
adopting the name Republican

Decided to Have a Semi-Professional
Team Here This Summer.

Team Here This Summer.
At meeting held Monday
evening it was decided to have a
strong ''sem1-pro" base ball team
here this summer. At another
meeting held yesterday further ar
rangements were made. E. L. Nc
Coy, II. S. Rhodes and Geo. Baxter
were appointed as committee to
sign good player manager. Pid-
dington, the best twirler in south
west, Wisconsin, has already been
signed to do the slab work for the
locals this season. None of the
other players have signed contracts
but it is very likely that Pennock,
captain of this years high school
team and Gleghorn of Beloit Col
Iege, will wear [ ancaster suits
again this season. Hern, of the
Armour Institute of Chicago, will
probably be another member Of the
team as we'll as two or three men
who are now playing with Fond Gu
Lac IN the Wisconsin Illinois league.
The season will open about the 18th
of this month and either Galena or
Platteville will be taken on for the
opening game. It's up to every
loyal citizen of Lancaster to boost
for the team.
