A SUMNER IN EUROPE.

We drove around the chateau fort
where the archives of the city lie, saw
the military school, the public gardens
and all the points of interest in this
quairtest of all quaint Breton cities.
When we bade our agreeable driver
farewell at the station, we saw the
depot swarmed. with peasants.
There had evidently been some
church picnic, for they all had on
badges and were in charge of priests.
As the third-class compartments We're
fun TO overlooking, they were distrib-
uted all over the train. Into our COM
partment a half a dozen climbed. carry
ing large dinner pals, and displaying
large blue and white checked cambria
handkerchiefs Most of the women
had cotton stuffed in their ears; why
we could not imagine. We noticed that
custom still held among the peasants
as we journeyed on in France. At
every station our companions rushed
to the car windows to wave wild fare
we'll to some departing friend. They
were an excitable group and furnished
us amusement as far as they went,
but our destination was beyond theirs,
SO that when we arrived in Pontorson,
we were the only ones left in our COM
partment.
Quickly we were driven to the Hotel
de TOuest and We're lead through a
pleasant court yard to a roor on the
ground floor, where we were awakened
early the next morning by the familiar
sound of wooden shoes.

WORK
AN EYE OPENER
WORK MAKES AN IMPRESSION
Party of Visitors Enthused With
Appearance-ROman Will Have
Views Later.

Will Her, w. p. Romans and Mr..
and Mrs. William l.. Lemon took a
trip to the upper Tieton works Sun
day. They inspected the intake and
much of the work that the reclama-
ton men have been doing all the way
to the head of the Cowiche Mr..
Romans took views of the main canal
and of the works. which will later be
published and placed on display in
local windows.
All members of the party are en-
thusiastic about the way the govern
ment work shows up and all pro-
nounce it the most finely finished con-
crete job that they have ever seen.
The immensely of it was a staggerer,
because none of the visitors had been
to visit the upper camps since last sea-
son. They assert that it cannot but
make good impression on the irri-
cation congressional committees and
on the members of the department of
the interior when they visit this sec
ton.

1917 NAMES IN JURY PANEL.
New Law Imposes Big job on County
Clerks Office-IIaS Had
Tedious Job.

G. Roy King, deputy county clerk
heaved sigh of relief and congratu-
lated himself Saturday afternoon
when he completed the jury panel for
the ensuing year, as provided for by
the new code. I'll has been a tedious
task since the fourth of last June dur
ing which time it was kept one per-
son busy continuously. In ALL 3677
names of voters and taxpayers are in
cluded in the panel.
This is the first time the jury panel
has been selected i'm this way in Yak
ina county, the new law having been
passed at the last session of the Iegs-
lature. The law provides that each
county shall be divided into districts,
and Yakima county was divided into
three districts. Then it provided that
the panel must be made up of persons
who are both voters and tax payers.
Heretofore, either a voter or a tax
payer might be drawn.
New Law Makes Changes.
Under the new law the county clerk,
or clerk of court will draw the names
from the panel instead of the jury
commissioners doing it as heretofore.
In drawing, the clerk must draw in
regular rotation from the three boxes
representing the three districts of the
county.
at was an immense task" said Mr..
King, ito complete the panel. In the
first place, we had to get the poll list
of the county, and also the tax list,
compare them and reject the names
which do not appear on both. 1t was
a tedious job and we are glad to
have it out of the way" Mr.. King
has an idea that next year most of this
work can be avoided by cooperating
with the assessors office and getting
this data on separate cards while the
assessment is being made of the
county.

legal plan, and he was positive a
working plan could be devised. Mr..
Galloway made the motion which was
carried enthusiastically and unani-
mously that the land owners under the
Naches branch of the Tieton appoint
a committee of five to work with the
Trustees of the Tieton Water Users
association and the Reclamation SER
vice in securing water for the Ma
ches branch in time for the season
of 1910.
During the extended discussion of
various plans, Attorney Gull made a
statement of the relations of the gov
eminent, the Water Users association
and the land owners and expressed
the thought that under the contract
with the government from which he
read, the land owners could assist in
the construction of the laterals and
be entirely in line with the contract.
Mr.. Gilbert stated that as chairman
of the committee he had received a
number of letters from land owners
who could not be present and thS!.
they were unanimous in wanting water

that they We're willing to join in any
plan favored by a majority of the
land owners.
Committee Appointed.
Mr.. Strauss the chairman took I'M
der advisement the selection of the
committee. 1t is understood that he
has practically decided on four of the
five as follows: Mr. Enze. of Naches
