SAD MEMORIES.

To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
This is the first day Of August, 1909.
On the first day of August, 1859, my
little boy was born to me. How I
loved him. how proud I was of my
dark eyed, dark haired little fellow!
1 cherished him as the idol of my
heart Many nights I worked with
my needle until midnight for money
to buy shoes and clothes for my bright,
beautiful boy, and he would nestle
close to me at night and ask for his
"pa." How I loved him! His father
Was in the army and I was alone in
tae country. My boy grew finely and
in bodily activity was about the aver
age, and in mental brightness and
quickness had few equals. He was
not "spoiled," but grew into boyhood
with a dignity and bearing well worthy
of imitation. I imagined I would
have him to comfort and console me
in my old days in this world of sorrow
and trouble. His father died many
years ago, and I am all alone. My
boy lives, but where, oh, where is he?
Does he ever think of his absent
mother? Docs he ever wonder where
she is? Does he think the grass is
growing on her grave, or does he think
she is struggling with the world try
ing to earn money to buy bread and
meat? When he rises in the morning
does he ever think Of her, or does
memory wander back to his childhood
days, when he was his mothers dar-
ling? Does he watt her kind though
or wish "that she were here?" But
ask, does the mother, although old
and troubled, think of him? Yes;
her thoughts wander around him; her
prayers ascend to the throne on high
for her boy that he may have all that
heaven can send; that no chill wind
will mar the beauty of his life-al-
though his mother is forgotten.

BREWSTER DITCH
MILL Be BUILT
II. w. HUMMER ASSOCIATED WITH
GEORGE L. CRANE SAYS PROS
Poets LOOK GOOD FOR BUILD
ING DITCH.

r. W. Hummer, who is associated
with George T. Crane in Methow val
ley water rights and also owner Of
large tracts of Brewster flat lands
was in the city yesterday and stated
to the Daily World that the big ditch
covering Brewster flat will be built
The only reason that actual con-
struction work has not been started
is from the fact that equitable ar
rangements could not be made with
a great many of the property owners,
but these things are being adjusted
and it is thought that in a short time
everything can be settled satisfactory
between the property owners and the
promoting company so that con-
struction work can be started.
Mr.. Hummer stated that the ditch
enterprise has been financed ana the
only matters that are holding them
up at all are the property rights.
Mr.. Hummer states that the Okan-
ogan country is receiving a large in
flux of immigration this spring and
is enjoying a very substantial growth.
