has recently tasted of local society
one. While it was not so costly per-
haps. ina financial way as Monte
sano's courthouse location one,
it was, nevertheless, just as inter-
esting.
| Gee! Isn't it just too awfully
tantaIizing for anything, when an

In an editorial, the P.-I. of July
18th, says:
"Gov. Hay deserves the commenda-
ton OF the Republicans of the State"
Gee! Has Gov. Hay promised to
vote for John L. Wilson for United
States Senator. and l wonder if
John has promised the groceryman q
foreign government position, in re-
turn for the sugar and sandman's
influence and support. 1 do not
hint nor say John L. Wilson would
do such thing, 1 only say wonder

A niger preacher of Spokane sent
Jack Johnson the following telegram.
at Reno, prior to the fight, and

reads us follows:
"There shall not any man be able to

Peculiar people live in the world,
don't they? In Bellingham. a year
ago, a bronze statue of a classic
Greek maiden was donated to the
city by the Haller estate. At that
time, says the RI. OF the 10th inst:

regarding the propriety of the statues
unclothed pedal extremities and bare
shoulders, objected and the park board
feared to order it set up. Since then
the board has acquired members with
less Puritanical principles and the beau
tiful statue will be installed"
The same people with oversensi-
tive scruples' regarding the statues
unclothed pedal extremities and
bare shoulders no doubt broke their
necks, so to speak, to attend re.
ception where maidens in flesh and
blood, " sassiety" buds, If you please.
