(Staff correspondence

GRANGER, Nov. 23.-As far as the
productiveness of the soil is concerned
it can scarcely be said that any par
ticular section of the Yakima val
ley near any one of the many thriv-
ing small towns has a particular ad-
vantage over that of another Each
town and locality has its particular
points of superiority. Granger thinks
it is peculiarly fortunate as regards
passenger and freight railroad facili-
ties, and against that claim nothing
can be said and substantiated.
Granger is located on the left bank
of the Yakima river in the central
Yakima valley, 25 miles southeast of
North Yakima, the county seat Here
are four railroads, three of which are
real, the fourth as yet on paper. The
real ones are as follows: The Sun
nyside branch of the Northern Pa
citic, work upon which was com
menced January 1, 1905, extending
from the main line a couple of miles
east of Toppenish, to Grandview, east
of Sunnyside; the DIV. r. & n. COM
pany railway, formerly known as the
North Coast a part of the Hartman
system, which runs at present the en-
tire length of the valley, with North
Yakima as the western terminus; the
North Yakima and Valley railway, a
part of the Northern Pacific system.
The proposed railroad, as number
four, is the FIT. Simcoe and Eastern,
upon which there has already been
done much preliminary work, in
Guiding the surveys, obtaining right
of-way and the grading of Is miles
of the road on the Yakima Indian
reservation between Toppenish and
FIT. Simcoe. where S. A. M. Young
presides as agent.

Young and Saucy

In point of years Granger is young,
but not giddy. Saucy is the word to
describe her. Progress is the word
heard everywhere, with no such thing
as thought of failure in any under
taking with that object in view. Wal
ter N. Granger, after whom the town
was named, was the original owner
of the townsite, which was thrown
upon the market in 1905. With Mr.
Granger were the following who be-
came interested: George P. Eaton,
Eliza Dean, C. N. Wood and Frank
H. Gloyd. The village was in corpor-
ated as a town of the fourth class in
August, 1909. The official decennal
census of the United States govern
ment in 1908 gave the population as
453, while the Polk Directory people
according to their estimate this year
places the present population at 500
Present Townsite Owners
That part of the townsite not yet
sold is in the hands of the Non-For-
fixture Land company, which has its
main office with Calhoun, Denny &
Ewing Seattle. Charles F. Bailey is
secretary and manager of the com
pany, with local offices, ready anG
willing at all times to disgorge infor-
nation. Having been on the ground
for four years he is fund of new:
and statistics, and unto him is the
Herald indebted. The other officers
of the company are as follows: M. M
Calhoun president; Eliza Dean, treas
urer; M. c. Ewing, auditor. The com
pany has a peculiar and in many re
spects admirable plan for the sale Of
| its lots and blocks, of which more
may be said in a later letter.

SUFFlCIENCY OF DECLARATION.
Question involved in Lewiston Forci
BILE Entry and Detainer Case.

A decision was handed down, We'd
nesday. from the law court in the An
|droscoggin county case of Nicholas
Karahalnes VS.. Peter Dukais The
|rescript, which was drawn by AS
sociate Justice Hanson of Calais sus-
tains the exception of the defendant
in regard 10 sufficiency Of declaration
and is as follows:
This is an action of forcible entry and
detainer and comes before the court on
exceptions by defendant
sufficiency of the declaration in the
plaintiffs writ which is as follows;
taner for that the said defendant at
said Lewiston on the 18th day of Sep
TENDER, 1910, having before that time had
lawful and peaceful entry into the lands
and tenements of the plaintiff situated
in Lewiston aforesaid and described as
follows: The bakery and baker shop at
1877 and 1s9 Lincoln Street, Lewiston. and
mined on the 9th day of September,
1910 then did and still does forcibly and
unlawfully refuse to quit the same, al
though the plaintiff AYERS that he gave
legal notice in writing to said Peter
Dukas before the 2Sth day of September
aforesaid To terminate his estate in the
premises.
The following facts We're agreed upon
tenant at will holding the premises de-
scribed in the plaintiffs declaration un-
der one Morris Alpren as his landlord.
His tenancy was not terminal ted by AL
prem by thirty days notice to quit IN
writing, but on Sept. "a. 1910. the said
Alpren made a lease i'm writing of the
premises to the plaintiff, karahales, for
the term of two years from Sept. "a.
1910 The plaintiff gave the defendant Il
written notice of the fact that he had
taken lease of the premises from Al
prem and that he demanded the possess
sion of the premises The defendant did
not vacate, and on the 18th day of Sep
TENDER 1910, the plaintiff began his ac-
ton of fofcible entry and detainer
against him. Before the writ WAS en-
tered in court the defendant vacated the
premises.
The declaration followed the form in
general use in this State to the clause
relating to the termination of the ten
ancy by notice, and then concludes with
the following words; although the
plaintiff AYERS that he gave legal notice
in writing TO the said Peter Dukais be-
fore the 18th day of September afore-
said to terminate his estate in the prem
iSes.' The defendant raises the Ques-
ton of sufileiency of the declaration, and
urges that the plaintiff has not stated
and that the proof of the termination of
the tenancy submitted is a fatal vari-
ence from the allegations in the declara-
ton before us.

the term and against tenant at will,
whose tenancy has been terminated as
provided in Sect ?. of the same chap
ter which is by thirty days notice in
writing for that purpose, given TO the
other party. Section of the same
chapter provides, that The process of
forcible entry and detainer shall be
commenced by inserting the substance of
the complaint as a declaration, in writ
of attachment to be indorsed and served
like other writs'
It is web settled that where a public
statute is applicable to a case. it is suffi-
seeks to rely upon the statute shan set
forth the facts which bring the case
within it.
II is not necessary in a civil action to
set out the statute or to make any refer
ence to il in the declaration, but the case
must be brought within its provisions by
alleging the requisite facts.
1t is equally well settled that all stat
utes authorizing summary proceedings
must be strictly construed. and strict
conformity TO the statute, in the exercise
of the jurisdiction it confers. is essen
tial to the regularity and validity of the
proceeding.
Section i of Chapter Sc, r. s prescribes
that the action of forcible entry and de-
tainer. '.shall be commenced by insert
ing the substance of the complaint, as a
declaration, in a writ of attachment to be
inserted and served like ather writs.''
The plaintiff resorted to the process of
foreible entry and detainer, and having
done so, he must, insert the substance
of the complaint as declaration, in a
writ OF attachment" In other words, he
must state a case within the terms of the
statute. The agreed statement of facts
discloses that the complaint or cause of
action was that the defendant was a
tenant at viii whose tenancy had been
terminated by the alienation of the
premises by the landlord for a term of
years. 1t further appears that the
plaintiff proceeded upon the theory that
! the defendant WAS disseizor. within the

remedy of forcible entry and detainer
a complaint for forcible entry and de-

ENTHUSIASTIC PEOPLE
TAKE AWAY DICTIONARIES
The Journal Office Busy With Those
Seeking the Attractive Volumes.

The journal office is busy these
days with people VINO want copies of
Webster's New Illustrated Dictionary,
in response 10 the remarkable money
saving offer repeatedly announced in
the columns of this newspaper.
The journal, in all modesty, takes
this evidence of public appreciation
as a sincere compliment. All that
we asked was that people come and
SEE this dictionary. But those who
came 10 see almost without a single
exception, departed with a copy OF
the work which is now offered to
everybody in return for six consecu-
tive coupons and the cost of handling.
There We're many of our visitors Nho
had not saved the necessary coupons,
but they went home with the firm in
tention of doing so.
One caller at the premium head
quarters looked at the dictionary.
said; Wait, I'll be right back" and
reappeared in half an hour with six
dictionary coupons taken from copies
of the paper which he had saved. 1t
is presumable that this person came
to tho premium headquarters in Il
skeptical frame of mind else he would
have brought his coupons along in
the first place. The Websters New
Illustrated Dictionary. under the
Journals unprecedented offer, is the
doom Of skeptieism.
Comments throughout the crowds
at this office We're enthusiastic in
praise of the compact but compreken-
sive volume which has leaped into
such unparalleled popularity.
The most popular Of three styles Of
fered is the Style No. /, the flexible
leather bound, Bible paper edition,
which goes to anybody for six con-
secutivo coupons and 9s cents expense
bonus. The cash charge is merely to
cover the cost of handling and dis
tributing the books.
1t is safe to say that no more use
full offer was ever made in Augusta
by a newspaper. The dictionary OBJ
tainable at such an astonishing rate
is really the most up-to-date. The
handicst, the best-typed dictionary on
the market today.
II contains all the latest words that
have come into the language-and
there are many of them that have
grown out of the progress of aviation
and the recent discoveries of science.
II also contains up-to-date charts
of statistics concerning crops. COM
meroe and all the important figures
OF The last year. There are thirty
two pages of color plates, authorita-

There are three styles of these die
tjonaries. One of them may be OBJ
