A GOLDEN WEDDING

saturday afternoon at one O'Clock
Gen. Mcpherson and wife will celebrate
their "Olden wedding anniversary. A
bout 200 invitations are out and they
are planning on pleasant time to be
spent beneath the beautiful trees at
their home.
l went out to get from the General
fiitrst hand something of his past his
making bei.a him in the wo.d house
wife sitting near and seeming - eiss
Joy 1t ALL He is a sturdy, frank old
gentleman and she is pleasant hos
ptable lady whom 1t does one go I'd
to meet and to me their story was
most interesting.
General Mcpherson was born in
North Carolina in 1884; he m3yed lat
er to Indiana where he met his future
wife and was married in Iowa (1S6O.)
Soon after the marriage they moved
to Nebraska where they lived for on
ly short time then back TO Wash
ingt-n, d. G.. where the General was
in the employ Of the government, anc
soon after this to Kansas. Then In
1880 to Washington State, where theil
home has been since.
Mr.. Mcpherson speaks of the won
derful changes and it seems to us
impossible that country SO young
can be so thrifty. He tells Of laying
ut the town of Blaine and naming i
after our great statesman, James q
Blaine. In fact his whole life history
is one continuous story and we are
glad to have them with us.
He says: Put me d.wn for a boost

too weak word, but better 'Revolu
tim for it means the taking out o.

We hope they may enjoy many NOR

CANDIDATE
LyndenA Attorney An
nounces Himself for
Prosecutor S Office and
Tells some Reasons why

Frank w. Bixby is a candidate f1r
prosecuting attorney. His decision to
that effect was reached yesterday and
is first ann unced in the Tribune. He
says:
Il had not intended to be candi-
date for the nomination this fall. but
my friends in a way forced it upon
me. They seemed to thing l was q
candidate and some of them were ac-
tually out working for me. Finally l
have decided that in justice to myself
and my friends l cannot do less than
make the race.
individual members of every gra-
nge in the county have either seen
me or written to me asking me to
be a candidate. Members of the Law
and Order league have urged it. In
Bellingham many labor leaders are
urging me and several members of
the bay association have asked me to
be the candidate.
During the past few days l have
been running over the county to see
If the support was as strong as 1t
seemed. l find that l have lost none
of my support of two years ago and
that new support will come from eve
ry locality. believe l will be NOM

Mr.. BiXby needs no introduction
from the Tribune. Our readers know
him even better than we do. For
seven years he has been a resident of
Lynden, and engaged in the practice
of law. He is a graduate OF the State
University law school, though he had
spent several years in the study of
law in Wisconsin before coming to
this state. He is not a stranger to pol
itics. Before coming west he was q
county superintendent of scho Is. Here
he has been identified with every
campaign since he moved to What
com county. Personally and politically
Mr.. Bixby has hosts Of friends in and
around Lynden. Naturally, also, he
has enemies-no man who attempts
to stay at the front is without them.
He is probably as we'll known over
the whole county as any public mar
Besides concuct,ns q large and ap
parently lucrative law practice whic
he has built upon his own merits, MI
Bixby personally supervises the worl
on two large ranches which he own
near Lynden. To The Tribune f
would seem that if Mr.. Bixby can af
ford to accept the office, and he ha.

Whatcom County can certainly at.
ford to have him for the office.

LYNDEN MAY COME IN
It Is to be Cooperative

The oranges Of Ferndale and Gus
ter decided yesterday to build a tract

1t is probable that the oranges OF
Lynden Delta and Northwo ID will join
and construct the line on to Lynden
and possibly to Nooksack or Sumas.
The line is to be cooperative one
Probably steam or gaS1line will be
used as motive power. 1t is also sign

the formation of the scheme to build,
Bellingham, the largest seaport In
the county has not been mentioned as
