They are producing the things that

growing wealthy at it. North yakima
Mr.. Barr points out, is similarly but
more fortunately situated. 1t is in an
agricultural di~trict with added hor-

duce a large proportion of the things

rapidly growing coast cities. | have

weeks ago, has decided to resign her
position as professor of English liter

to become secretary Of the National
Suffrage association. succeeding Miss
Kate Gordon of New Orleans. also a
speaker here. Miss Gordon wished to
resign in order to give all her time to
suffrage work in her own state. Mrs.
Henry Willard, Mrs. Clarence Mackey
and Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont, the two
latter recent COW rts to the suffrage
cause and women of great wealth.

sufficiently generous to warrant pay

disagreement to be regretted both on
the score of dignity and of inestmable

both factions by the national body
and the formation of a second state
association by the discredited Spokane
delegates. The national officers eV-
