A CORRECTION

In my article "a Hoeless Garden
that you so kindly published recently,
/ would like to make a correction.
Where it says "As soon as the garden
is planted, haul big load, or three
or four, of strong manure"-iI should
read "strawy" manure. The difference
is so great that the result would he
entirely different. G. 81. Mottinger.

Finley is disappointed. About 40
of the natives journeyed to Kennewick
Monday night to see the big minstrel
show and incidentally to let Kenne-
wick know that Finley was within
travelling distance of town. They went
fully equipped with applause produc-
ers, yell leaders and floral tributes but
when they, got there at 1880 they found
those Horse Heaveners who have no
cows to milk had got there ahead Of
them and had occupied practically ev-
cry chair in the house so Finley had to
scatter out so thin they couldn't ac-
complish anything. They saw good
show and were glad they Went. Re-
ally some Of those Kennewick fellows
are pretty good-they make better
coons than white men.
