Hohson Gets a Frost.

How different from the demonstra.

at the night session. Another man
was upon the platform.
Richmond p. Hobson of Alabama--he
OF Spanish bravery and kissing popu
larity--was invited to the rostrum.
Hobson had some good Ideas but he
was too long in getting to them. He
predicted war with Japan. and his
prediction was met with vigorous dis
approval. He wanted to talk about a
better navy. but the altitude was too
dry for the audience to listen TO H.
They were too far from water--and, In
their minds, too far from war. But
Hobson is persistent. He would not
down. The climax came when Hobson
said he had talked with President
Roosevelt a week ago and that the
president expressed his belief that the
United States would have war with
Japan.
There were cries OF NO" NO" all
over the convention hall. Hobson tried
TO so on, but they wouldn't let him.
He lifted his clinched hands above his
lead in defiance, but the frost was on
the convention and there was no
chance for the captain. Kisses began
buzzing over the great hall. and not
until Chairman Bell threatened 10

The mighty enthusiasm went on. Il

Directly opposite the chairman's

of which the different real estate
firms will purchase and distribute a
large number. The total expense
of printing the booklet is slik htly
in excess of $1,000. The only way
to get proper appreciation of the
beauties of the book is by careful
perusal. The pictures are the fin
est and reflect great credit on Photo

ing in accurate and concise style
about special features of the town

out its unusual transportation facili-
ties. The general descriptive arti-
cles are excellent and crammed full
of facts the intending settler would
want to know. All in all it is the
best booklet ever issued by a town
of this size to set forth its advantag-

Is the best all around feed for the
milch cow that have ever used OF
seen, together with the easy acces
t. markets where the cream can be
shipped and quick returns received
for the same, and the high price for
butter fat which is paid the dairy
man, the kennewick Valley is an
ideal spot in which to engage in this
business. Creamery butter is now
selling at 40 cents a pound, and the
demand is good; in fact. nowhere in
the country are paid better for butter
fat than the Washington dairympn.
[ might say further that in the fall OF
1906 had eleven cows, some fresh
and some nearly dry; from these cows
