The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1910-05-26

Blaine is spending over $4,000 for
paving. Think of it, and some LINDEN
people objected to spending $4,000 for
grading. Oh well, but then. LINDEN
is In the center of the great Nook
sack Valley, where a town will be a
town in spite of itself.
We like that Blaine Journal. 1t de-
voted two or three inches to telling
its readers what a fine celebration
the town of Lynden was going TO
have on the Fourth
The Changers of Laurel are plann-
Ing to hold a two days fair at Fern
dale sometime this fall. We would
have been glad to welcome them in tie
Lynden Produce Day show. However
there is room for two such shows
Well help the Laurel Changers make
their show and will gladly welcome
them in helping us make our show.
The Bellingham high school will
graduate 80 pupils this year.
Gov. Hay has promised to increase
the reward offered by this county for
H. J. Welty to $500. Welty was at
the head Of the defunct Home Secur-
tiles Bank, of Bellingham.
Next Tuesday is the last day on
which taxes may be paid without at
taching the Is per cent interest. If
you haven't paid your taxes it is time
to get busy.
George w. Worthen has purchased
160 acres Of land northwest of Lynden
so acres from A. E. Baldwin and so
from c. R. Axling, paying $4,000. Mr..
Worthen has made profitable buy.
This land northwest of Lynden is as
valuable as there is in the county.
Farmers and others should train
their autos not to shy at horses. Their
was a time when horses were to be
met frequently. And, men driving
horses have as good legal right on
the road as have autos. These re-
marks are occasioned by the fact that
DR.. Beebe's, of Everson, auto, shyed
at q horse last week, ran into a
stump and knocked all the spokes out
of one Of its wheels.
A warrant has been issued for H.
]. Welty. ex-president of the defunct
Home Security Bank, Of Bellingham.
Tic warrant was issued two or three
weeks after the man had disappeared.
He should be found. Whether there
was anything criminal in the manage
nent of the bank or not the deposit
ors have a right to an explanation as
to the whereabouts of their money.
The Union Manufacturing Co., and
John L. Dickerson who runs the store
at the mills are about as good Lyn-
den boosters as we have. Moreover
they do all the buying here that they
can do. Dickerson said a few days
ago. II believe in home trade. l want
my neighbors to trade with me. !
buy everything l can buy of them.
What I can't get there buy in Lyn-
den, what l can't buy in Lynden
buy in Bellingham. If l can't get what
want there l at least try to get it
in the state" Do you know it is that
sort of men that make community
prosperous.
Boys, how about fireworks fer the
Fourth? You want some don't you?
You like the Tribune don't you? Well
that is a combination that will get
you the fireworks. Read our adver-
tisement on another page. We would
like to give every boy in Whatcom
county IS cents worth or more of fire
kind they want. We can't do that but
we can give them to you If you will
make little effort.
w. D. Dodd, editor OF the Belling-
ham Herald, who was arrested last
week charged with violating the state
law against printing revolving details
Of hanging, was, as was to be ex-
pected acquitted by the jury after a
elaboration CT only a few moments.
The people of Whatcom county are
disguised with the Bellingham news
paper war. AS in case like this
where a man Is arrested for simply
printing the news. just as it is print
ed in all other good dailies In the
state, sympathy goes out to the per-
secuted, corresponding disgust Is felt
for those who would stoop SO low as
to try and incite the arrest.
The Tribune editor knew Dodd near
ly ten years ago when he was only
reporter on the Tacoma Ledger. He
was promoted because he had ability
and because he was clean and straight
The editor on a daily newspaper OF
the importance of the Herald cannot
do all he would like to do always.
He connot always fight for the things
he would like to fight for. but, we
know, that no editor working for a
Perkins Press paper is ever asked to
do that which he honestly believes to
be wong. Moreover we know Dodd
we'll CROUCH to know that If he was
