/ miles, and back, then Ned brought US
on out to the ranch mile and a hall
further
We went to Lyle's for dinner, thence
on to Gene, Griffith's, Ned's brothers,
for supper, and there were just six
teen Of us, all relatives sat at the
table, and enjoyed the hospitality Of
that home.
Ned's brother, AL Griffith an over
seas returned soldier, and his wife,
were of the number, and took the next
morning train for their former home
in old Dubuque. Iowa. Al had been
gassed and otherwise contracted tuber-
cular trouble over the water and
they had been spending season with
us western people, in search OF rest
and recreation. They lived in tent
out here on the ranch, right near
us for some time, but was not at
tanning the desired results, SO were
going back to the old home in Du-
buque. But these trips I speak Of,
from Addy to Spokane and back over
any of the routes, are simply wonder
full, as in going the distance of
seventy-tw0 miles we pass so many
notable places.
On the Sunset Highway route, on
the Spokane River is the Long Lake
Plant of the Washington Water Power
Company, where is the highest spill
way dam in the world, over which the
Spokane River plunges 150 feet.
In the distance, we pass snow cap
ped Mount Spokane and even as late
as May 18th, the winter SHOWS are
still deep at the foot, and blocks
automobile traffic, while in the val
lev, there are all signs Of mid-spring.
Another beautiful sight on the way
of late is the Arcadia and Otis or
chards in bloom and Sat-, May 4th
was Apple Blossom Day and hundreds
of Automobiles, according to reports,
went out to join the parade, which
toured the valley at that time, 1t hav-
ing been the first annual apple bios
som day. The route Of the parade
included all the valley towns, and end
ed with a big barbecue celebration
at Otis Orchards.
They estimate that $4,000 people
visited the Spokane Valley on Satur-
day and Spokane fed more than BOW
people. Then at Chewelah the nearest
city to us by rail, being only > OF
10 miles south of Addy, We have the
longest tram way in the world, when
is twelve miles long, and is used to
convey the Ore from the mountain
mines, to the Magnesite building,
belongs to the Government, and is
located at or near Chewelah, which
bis the center of great diversity OF
interests, springing from the varied
natural resources gradually coming to
light there.
Prospectors in the hills, sometime
ago, unearthed minerals of iron and
copper, Then there was located a
whole mountain ridge of ore which
is the only such ore found in the
United s-Magnesite-used in the
process of making steel and other
refractories, as a heat-proof lining
for furnaces, and on top of this a big
coal deposit was discovered within
sight of the town.

LETTER FROM MRS. LYDIA ELDER.

Extracts from my Diary, and some
things / have seen in the far west.
To my friends, the readers OF the
Manchester Democrat:
In glancing over my diaries up to
the present time, since l came west,
/ find some notes, that may be in
teresting to the friends of other
days.
This is my fiftieth year for keeping
Diary, and since came west, while
fitting around with my children, !
find so many things. Friday September
IL, 1919 was a big day in Spokane,
as Woodrow Wilson and wife were
entertained there and thousands OF
people were on the streets, to welcome
him, and l was proud to see him,
and to hear his voice.
Another very interesting trip ! took
with Lysle's folks, was from Spokane
to Medical Lake, by automobile, a
distance of about twelve OF fourteen
miles. where the hospital for the in-i
sane is located and every foot OF the
+ road to that place, is macadamized
or beautifully builded and while 1t
would not be pleasant to be detained
there on-account of mental disturb
ances, / think the sun shines just as
brightly and the birds sing as sweetly
there as any place, and it is certainly
beautiful spot of earth, situated high
on the Lake shore and the scenery
is simply beautiful beyond my powers
of description.
We wandered around through the
lake scenery until a courteous and
smiling attendant was at liberty to
show or escort us through the build
ing and Of course we are indebted to
him for the knowledge of life with
in the enclosure of this medical lake
institution, but it is true to nature
that as general rule, the attendants
know little Of, and care less for their
fellow creatures among whom they
sojourn holding themselves aloof, and
incapable Of general relations which
i suppose is quite natural, but those
poor unfortunates were singing,
whistling, and laughing, seemingly the
hapiest of the happy, which | sup
pose Of course, is as it should be.
s. Our attendant who by the way told
us he had been an employee in the
Independence, Iowa, hospital said
there were nine hundred inmates con-
fined there and everything was SO
orderly and sanitary for such a large
number of patients, and the home OF
the feeble minded right near this hos
pital was another sad feature of our
trip, but they were mostly young
children, playing around on the green
yard, which prove that childhood
is beautiful in truth, but not there
fore always blest, for there is not
child in the world but is pursued by
cares now and then. Another entry
in my diary is of my visit to Edge
Cliff, tubercular sanitarium, among the
cliffs OF the Spokane River in the near
by surburb of the city, when | was
sent, together with another lady from
Addy, as delegate to the great In
land Empire Sunday School conven-
ton and Lysle drove out to Edge
Cliff with US. We were met at the
door by sad sweet faced little at
tendapt, or nurse with genuine love
shining out of her eyes, and all over
her face, who kindly made the in $
auiry: did you come out to Edge :
Cliff to see what kind of little hos
pital we are running here?" I answer >
ed her that we were the delegates q
sent out to the convention from Addy $

Bismarck. NJ D.. Jan. 18.-The
North Dakota legislature will not adj

attend the Tri-State Grain Growers
convention and other meetings in Far

noon, when the senate voted to- kill

43 to. 4. ~
Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. 18.-Hopes of
an adjournment of the state legis-
lature until next week which APP
peared bright Monday, went glimmer-
ing today when it was learned that
the Nonpartisan league forces, who
had originally proposed the adjourn
ment, had undergone change of
heart.
The matter was taken up in a league
caucus Monday night at which Gov
and the governor is said to have de-
clared himself as being strongly op-
posed to.any adjournment being taken
at this time.
The movement for the adjournment
was launched by leaguers in the house
who desired to attend the meeting Of
the Tri-State Grain Growers associa-
ton to be held at Fargo this week,
but in view Of the governors attitude
it is. understood that they will now
oppose any adjournment suggestion,
and it is probable that the matter will
not even come to vote, as most of
the independent members are not in
terested in an, adjournment at this
time, although willing to favor it as
a matter of courtesy should the
leaEuers SO desire.
Hearing by the state affairs COM
mittee of the soldiers bonus bills
which were introduced in the house
were scheduled for this morning. but
were postponed on the request of a

resolution providing for a steering

expected this afternoon from the state

1t is understood that, the REPORT will
be divided, the independent majority
of the committee recommending in.
