DICKINSON WONT RETIRE.
Sets at Rest Rumor That He Intends
to Resign From Cabinet.

to Resign From Cabinet.
Washington, Dec. 24.-Secretary
Dickinson has set at rest the rumOr
that he is to retire from the cabinet
because he and President Taft did not
agree on the question of the military
unpreparedness of the United States.
He is not to retire and he says so
with a degree Of emphasis that leaves
no room to doubt that he speaks by
the card. Nor is Secretary Ballinger
to retire, notwithstanding the fact that
he and the president have differed re-
garding several phases of the public
lands question, as shown by Balm
gers annual report and the presidents
message to congress. If either leaves
the cabinet hereafter it will be for
causes which do not now exist.

Our Old Citizens Passing Away.

The Chronicle this week contains
the death notices of two of the oldest
citizens of Colfax, Judge W. l.. Rich

The editor of this paper has known
both of them well and been close
neighbor To them for more than 81
years, aud We can say of both that
they were of that material which
stands the test of time. While it is
sad for us to record their passing
away, We rejoice that we can write
freely and fully as TO their history in
our midst. 1t affords us a monrnful
pleasure to recite their worth and
merit, and to glory in the triumph
which the inspiration and example
OF their life and death furnishes.

An Old Grant ParieA Citizen Stricken.
When the report TINT Mr.. r. b.
Williams had been stricken with pa
ralysis gained currency Saturday
afternoon, no one could believe it, as
he was as bright and active as usual
all that morning attending q public
sale at the court house at noon, and
just little later he returned home
for dinner and while seated at the
table was stricken. The alarm was
Immediately given. physicians sum-
mOned, but from that time to the
present writing there has been no
change in his condition, the whole
right side being afflicted, the sight
entirely gone, and only at very short
intervals is he ut all conscious. Mr..
Williams age is great, he having
passed his eighty second year. but
he has always been hale and hearty,
leading the active life of a man of
thirty. still it is feared that his span
of years will initiate against quick
or even a partial recovery. Mr..
Williams IL one'of the most wonder
full old men OF the many of whom
Natchitoches can boast. Although
he has long ago arrived Mt the age
at which most men. are accustomed
to sit in the ease and quiet of the
chimney corner, up to the day of his
seizure he arose al daylight, mount
ed his faithful old horse, and often
times kept bis saddle until dark, as
he personally superintendent his own
business, which is varied and great,
and includes the management of a
number of large plantations in this
and adjoining PARISHES

and trusts that he may soon be re-
stored to health.- Natchitoches En-

WENATCHEE AS a SCENIC CEN
TER.

Wenatchee as a center for those
who wish to spend q few weeks in
one of the most delightful regions
In the world, has not received the
attention along these lines from a
publicity standpoint that it ,.loild.
Now that this city can boast of its
excellent hotel accommodations, it is
time right now to plan soma good
side trips for the tourist into the
Cascade mountains. A good string
of burros ought to be provided for
a little mountain climbing. 4 nice
little TRIP could be made in one day,
or delightful trips could be l2!i out
which would occupy a weeks time.
The past season, the mountaineers
of Seattle spent three weeks in the
Cascades. The coming season the
Mazamas of Portland will be here
and will climb one Of the high peaks
in the Cascades.
TIE fact that Wenatchee is To-
Gated right in the heart of region
of great scenic beauty is one which
I'm the future ought to become one
of her greatest assets. The tourist
crop of California is one of its great
est each year. With proper publicity
Wenatchee will be filled every sea-
son with those WHO love to spend
a few weeks in the great out doors,

BILLBOARDS PROHIBITED.

The city council of North Yakima
did a wise thing when they prohibit
ed billboards on the North Coast rail-
road right of way. There is nothing
that so dis6gures a city as billboards,
and Walla Walla seems to have more
than her share. Some provisions
ought to be made for controlling the
nuisance, also for prohibiting the
indiscrininate ticking up OF posters
and hand bills on the main streets
of the city. 1t is high time that

trict. This makes King county a
district in itself, gives the northwest
a district and, in a communication
to the Ledger, Mr.. John A. Rea. of
Tacoma, would make a shoestring
district of the Columbia river coun-
ties, which would extend all the way
from Pacific to Okanogan in the ex-
IRENE northeast. Such district
would never suit the southwest. We
might just as we'll have a congress
man at large. There is nothing il
common between such counties, say,
as Pacific and Okanogan. Even their
interest in the Columbia river, which
is supposed to bind them together,
is divided. The upriver counties want
an open river while the lower river
counties are more interested in the
improvement of the outer bar.
Tie Cascade mountains should be
established as the dividing line as
nearly as possible and Western
Washington given three congressman
and Eastern Washington two, even
if such an arrangement does throw
such small counties as Pierce into
a district dominated by Tacoma and
Pierce county. --South BeEd Journal.
