'oudy, anu IL Is quite appfOpfOS so Tar as
the efforts of the above congregation are
concerned. Not like the community that
was sadly in need of new school house,
met and passed preamble resolution as
follows: Whereas this community is sadly
i'll need of new school house, therefore
be it resolved, that we build new school
house. BE it further resolved that we re-
tain the old school house until we get round
to building new school house, but these
people wanted new church and in order
to be sure to get what they wanted they
tore the old one down and began the i'm
mediate erection Of the new one hence this
coming corner stone laying May 23rd as
stated above. 1t was Ben Butler who said,
the way to resume is to resume.
No, Mr. Officer, Governor Lister did not
drive Felix Crane out of the state when
he caused him to be paroled from the state
prison, but Crane himself requested of the
governor that he be permitted to leave the
state, visit for time his relatives in Texas
and then live in Los Angeles for one year
after his release, which request was granted
and Crane acted accordingly In due course
of time Crane was fully pardoned by the
governor and all restrictions as to his going
and coming were removed. Since last o.
tober he has made his home in Seattle and
has operated a pool hail. During that time
whether he lived up to the mandates of the
law deponent verify doeth not know, but
if he has not he should be punished for
breaking the law, but it is unfair and I'M
American to harass and annoy him for what
he may have done in the past but paid
the penalty. In other words Crane sinned
and suffered and so far as that is con-
cerned it should be wiped off the slate. If
reports be true he is being constantly an
noyed not for what he is doing, but for
what he did do five or more years ago, and,
as said above, the slate should be wiped
clean.
John H. Ryan was in Seattle last Tuesday
and [ got it into my head that he had
political bee in his bonnet, owing to the fact
he spent good deal of his time at the
office of j. A. Roston the realty dealer out
on East Madison. Mr.. Ryan loves the
game of politics and [ am inclined to think
he will play it as long as he is able to
wiggle Though he loves the games and al
ways holds hand, when it is being played,
yet he does not seem to make progress at
it, but like all games of chance far more
fail than succeed at it. The reason | sus-
pected Mr.. Ryan had a political knife up
his sleeve when in Seattle the other day
was | remembered he of recent months has
been much interested in the political sue
css of the Triple Alliance and also remem-
boring of Lieutenant Roston s activity along
that line-his struggle to elect Jimmie Dun
can mayor of Seattle-I reached the con-
cusion that the two of them were making
plans for the coming campaign. Am l.
right?
For the past two weeks or more the
Fisk Jubilee singers have been in the state
Of Washington filling engagements here and
there in the various churches and wherever
they have appeared they have simply taken
the town. | missed their engagement by
few hours in Bellingham and [ was dis
appointed in hearing them in Seattle last
Sunday, although | made effort to do so.
In the churches of Tacoma and Seattle
where they sung standing room was at
premium and those who heard them declare
them to be the most wonderful musical ag
gregation they had ever heard These sing
