HARRY LANE EXCUSE
LETTERS RECEIVED

A food of Harry Lane "excuse let
ters' has been received during the
past week by local citizens who re-
Gently telegraphed the United States
senator expressions of reputation OF
his acts in participating in the filibust-
er on the Armed Neutrality bill.
''If you will kindly and without
prejudice based upon false reports let
me know how under the circumstances
could have acted differently than |
did and remain true to your interests
would esteem it a favor" is the
closing paragraph of Senator Lane s
letter.
Local citizens in numerous instances
have complied with the senator's re-
quest and have favored him with a
further expression of their reputation
of his actions on the Armed Neutrality
Bill.
Local constituents of Senator Lane
in numbers have replied to his three
page typewriter excuse with the
statement that his overdrawn explana-
tions make his actions all the more un-
pardonable.
The larger portion of local citizens
who recently wired or wrote Senator
Lane a reputation of his filibuster
were Democrats. A prominent Demo-
crat, who declared that he knew what
the contents of the franked letter from
Senator Lane in his postoffice box con-
tanned, turned the letter back to the
postmaster with the instructions that
it be returned to the Oregon senator.

TROUT LAKE.

Miss Dorothy Fichtner, who has been
with her sister, Mrs. C. H. Pearson,
for some time, left the first of the
week for the outside.
AS the regular school election for
director in this district resulted in a
tie, the county school superintendent,
Miss Hinshaw, ordered special elec.
tion last Saturday, promising to ap-
point the one who won. J. c. Lusk
withdrew in favor of Carl Pearson, the
only other candidate.
Trout Lake Grange held their regu-
lar meeting last Saturday with an at
tendance of so members. The secre-
tary read House Bill No. 3l6, which
permits the bonding of districts to
build roads. The members take a
great deal of pride in the fact that
this bill originated in their grange,
which only goes to emphasize what
can be done by grange influence.
There was good deal of discussion as
to whether it would be better to build
our road under this new law or work
along the line of county bonding. The
members were undivided in the opinion
that when the trunk lines are built
they should be high grade, made so as
to stand up under heavy traffic.
C. E. Hall has sold the cream route
to Fred Miller, who has commenced
the work
C. A. Witt and family have moved
to North Yakima.
There is some dissatisfaction over
the rumor that the deputy assessor
has been instructed to assess water
stock in this valley. We hope this is
not true, but if it is. there was never a
more unjust ruling emanating from the
assessors office. A little investigation
will show any intelligent person that
we are already paying upon our water
stock or water rights much more than
we should, in the value that is placed
on our land. Without water this land
has practically no value and would be
covered with scrub pines, and much of
it would be sold for taxes inside ten
years. The taxes we are now paying
on the land are practically taxes on
water. Where great deal of the
there is deal put through here rep
resenting big figures, like twenty-five
or fifty million dollars. 1t sounds
well, and reads well, to the average
Trout Laker, because he imagines it
booms and enhances values in the val
ley. But he knows that there is a
string or strings tied to all these deals.
1t is sometimes an exchange upon in
hated values or foreclosure Of mort
gage where a poor fellow cannot meet
his interest. If anybody wants to know
the real value of land in this valley let
him come in here with some real
money to offer.

JAPANESE WOMEN
ENTERTAIN CLUB

One of thescleverest entertainments
ever participated in by members of
the Woman's Club was the Japanese
Art Evening" as staged last week by
the members of the Education Com
mittee, of which Mrs. A. G. Lewis is
chairman, and the members of the
Evening department of the Club.
A feature of the program was the
rendition on native instruments of
musical selections by Mrs. M. Yasui,
wife of the merchant, and Mrs. M.
Katayama, wife of an .orchardist. The
clever little Nipponese women dressed
in their fiowery robes. also demon
strated how Japanese hostess serves
tea.
Ten little girls from the Pine Grove
school delighted the audience with
Japanese songs. The chief speech of
the meeting was delivered by Mrs. R.
M. Tuttle, pominent club woman of
Portland, who illustrated her talk with
