WOMEN'S BILL N

LEGISLATURE FAILS TO MAKE

Olympia, March 20.-The Eleventh
Legislature passed the bill submitting
constitutional amendment provid-

vertisement that must be made in ev-
cry county, and unless this sum comes
from some other source Secretary S.
III. Nichols will refuse to put the
amendment on the ballots to be voted
next year. He declines to create de-
ficiency.
This legislature in thus neglecting
this important item, simply followed
the custom of its predecessors, al
though attention of the members was
repeatedly called to the injustice OF
this by the secretary of state.
The constitution makes it manda.
tory that all amendments shall be
printed in full in at least one news.

county The custom has been for the
secretary to send the copy to the pa
pers with note telling the publish
ers that no money was Immediately
available to pay for the advertise
ments, but If the publishers cared tt
take the risk the secretary would ask
the next legislature to appropriate {
sufficient sum to meet the obligation
The publishers have been protest
ing against being forced to carry the
bills from one to two years, and this
session they were louder than evel
in their demands that the state pay
for the work when it is done The re-
cent legislature did appropriate a sun
for the payment of advertisements
but it was for the publication of the
constitutional amendments voted or
at the last general election:
Among other things the eleventh

PEARS ON EVE OF HIS WE'D
DING TO MISS THOMPSON.-
ALL GATHER; GROOM GONE.

Chelan, March 20.-With broken
heart Miss Lizzie Thompson of Che
Ian has laid aside her bridal gown
and anxiously awaits news of the
man she was to have married last
evening.
Van Adams, who was formerly a
stage driver here, procured the Ii
cense several days ago for his mar
rage with Miss Thompson. The
prospective groom had furnished
housekeeping apartments and all ar
rangements were made for the we'd
ding. When the hour which had
been set for the nuptials approached
the bride, bridesmaid and best man
donned their wedding attire and
were ready, but Mr.. Adams, who had
ridden to Lakeside for his wedding
clothes, did not appear.
From reports at Lakeside, he was
last seen at the Tourist hotel, and as
he had considerable money 1t was at
first thought that he had met with
foul play. However, as horse an
swering the description of the one he
left Chelan with has been found in
Wenatchee, it is believed that Adams
made a night ride of 40 miles to the
latter place and there took train
Mr.. Adams is young man of good
reputation, and his friends can not
understand his mysterious conduct.

NEW POSTOFFICE RULES

Our postmaster formulates the following rules for the benefit of his patrons and that you may know what you may expect: No letters given out until they have been received If you don't get a letter or a paper on the day you expect it, have the post masterl look through all the boxes and down in the cellar also. It ought to be there somewhere and he likes to hunt for 1t just to please you. If your friend don't write rave at the postmaster. He is to blame If he tells vounO put on grievtd look and say there ought to be some. He is probably hiding your mail for the pleasure of having you call for 1t. Ask him to look again. If you are buying stamps make him lick them and put them on, that's his business.

Romance of Married Life.

Really. the romance of life begins only after marriage. It is then that character is developed, that personal ity is matured, that capabilities are tested Before marriage (until the indiv.Gua becomes a confirmed old maid or bachelor), life is more or less in the nature of stage picture. with comedy and athletics predominating. The H. ost in it is fun and frolic, music and dancing, running and singing, piucking flowers and scattering them. That is excellently good while it lasts. It is afterward, as a rule, that come the realities that make men and wom- en great and noble, or the reverse.

WHTTERIVER ITEMS.
By Our Regular Correspondent.


 A party, consisting of Mrs. Fleming Lavander,, Mrs Cora Miller, Mrs Myrtle Smith, Mrs. Phil Grayard and your represen- tative, all of Whiteriver, visited the Chirricuahna ranch, about eight miles south of Fort Apache, last Saturday. A tri p to q large cattle ranch IS a great treat to those who have never spent a day with the cowboys of the west. The day was ideal and the party left feeling that the visit would be as pleasant as the day, which they more than real ized.
 The visitors arrived at Super intendent James Baskin's camp about 11:3O Here they found Will Moore, Baskin's partner A sumptu0us dinner was hastily prepared, and q happier crowd never surrounded {, dinner table, nor enjoy ed q meal better Din ner over, the party with MT. Moore left for the Turkey Creek camp, where the general round up was going on Here general superiuttnt H Martin, local manager James Baskin and tW entN- seven COW boys were busy preparing for the shipment of three train loads of fat cattle to Los Angeles and Kansas City
 Every courtesy possible was shown the visitors and all felt that they were among set ol noble hearted men. It was in teresting to see the cowboys sad. ding the1r wild brOnchos. The horse cOrrall was visited, after which the guests returned to the camp fire where supper was in progress. You may read and talk of hospitality, but you will never know what true, genuine hospitality means until you have visited one of the western cattle ranches and partaken of that free, unlimited hospitality found at the cowboys camp fire. The day had been enjoyed from be ginning to end. The visitors were tired but in the best of spirits. It was day well spent. The home trip was somewhat tedious, but not one regretted the visit. All returned safely to Whiteriver, feeling themselves under many obligations to these whole soul, big hearted cattle men, James Baskin, Will Moore and H. Martin
