The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1910-07-07

1
Mr.. Hammerstrom, one of the Nv
est of the Bellingham newspaper boys
was in Lynden yesterday and came
down to get acquainted with the Tri'
bune. We were SO busy here that we
could not show him much courtesy
but we appreciated the visit.
There were not many who attended
the celebration in Bellingham this
week, from this vicinity. AS one OF
the graneg1s from Sumas way puts It
we're on to them-its a graft. They
know 1t. we know it, but they think
We don't know enough to know 1t.
| Some of. the prettiest cherries we
have seen this year were on small
branch brought to the Tribune by Ed
Philo. They are Bings. The fruit is
larger than back east plums. and the
tree will have over 300 pounds as q
crop.
NOTICE-All Fourth of July COM
mitteemen are requested to meet once
more, next Tuesday night in jamie
sens hall. The auditing of accounts
ard a final settlement of all matters
must be made. 1t is rumored that Lyn
den finished the celebration with mo-
ney in the treasury.
Elsewhere in this weeks Tribune
appears the political announcement OF
George Livesey who desires to sue
coed himself as prosecuting attorney.
In letter accompanying the advertise
ment Mr.. Livesey says he stands on
his record for the past two years and
that he believes he is entitled to the
endorsement Of the people.
South Bellingham nine which has
been the terror of the country dis
tricts for the summer gave up
game to Lyaden Sunday that was one
of the prettiest of the whole season.
Lynden had 4 and S. B. / at the end
of the first half of the ninth inning.
1t was a pretty game all the way
through. Both batteries did excellent
work, and for that matter SO did the
fields, but the Tribune is unable to
go into details Of the game this week.
Elsewhere In this weeks Tribune
will be found the political announce
ment of John Simpson, of Everson,
as a candidate for county commission
er in this district. Mr.. Simpson inn
presses one as an honest and capable
farmer, butte certainly needs no fr-
from 1.-The Tribune for he
is a pioneer in the valley OF 26 years
standing. On the Fourth he reminded
some of his friends that it was just
26 years earlier that he attended his
first celebration in Lynden, and that
he has never missed one since. Sure,
that gives him a warm corner of our
heart.
Gus Harrison brought to this office
couple of young beets which are
truly 4 curiosity. The beets are of q
long rooted variety and when the seed
was planted 1t SO happened that two
of them fell-o a small peice Of wood
which was about one and one half
inches thick. The seeds however ger
minated and grew as il they were In
the very best of soil. forming perfect
ly, the roots penetrating the wood and
downward through the
soil. This will Set at rest any con-
troversy as to the soil Of this section
in fact it would seem that soil was
secondary consideration. All you have
to do is to drop he seed and the re-,
suit of harvest is assured-Maple

Last night the May Roberts COM
pany closed a three nights engage
ment in Jamiesons opera house with
the playlet 1.-The Adventures" one
of the strongest small plays on the
road today. Miss Roberts has not de-
torogated since her last appearance
| IN Lynden-instead her acting is more
finished, more perfect, and unlike SO
many real artists she gives the same
careful attention to the details OF her
part when playing in small town as
when playing before the more critical
city audiences. L. Victor Gillard, the
leading man, is deserving of as much
credit as his better advertised wife,
Miss Roberts. He is an actor of more
than ordinary ability. 1.-The Adventur-
ess" is a play that gives them both
an opportunity to show their talents
1t depends not alone upon the clever
WOTOluS IOT iuteTest, IOI WlLuOut ATT
ing that was nearly perfect. it would
be a farce. They make it a drama thai
in part holds the audience spell bound
with interest, and that frequently
brings tears to the eyes. While one
reviles the hard heartedness Of the Ad
ventures as portrayed by Miss Ro.
berts, in the closing scene she awak'
ems a pity that pulls at the hear
strings. The Roberts company unlik,
the many travelling companies doei
not present ITS members in costumi
that from dirt or cheapness belle,
the parts the actors are taking. Tit

rich and appropriate. This compan,
can always play to full house IL
