Happenings Of Fifteen
Years Ago in the Valley
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,

From W.. B. Spokesman, Nov. 10, '08
Trees and vines have made the
usual good growth this season.
White Bluffs is to be connected
with the outside world by telephone.
Such is the announcement made this
week by Attorney c. E. Forsythe,
who lis soon to take UP his abode
in that city. A company has been
organized to build and operate a
long distance line from White Bluffs
to Kennewick, where the line will
connect with the Pacific States Tele-
phone and Telegraph company's
lines, thus permitting its patrons to
| talk to any point in the state.
! F. M. We'll and Jay Locke, both
of White Bluffs and John E. Chap
man of Lewiston, Idaho, have been
chosen as trustees for the ensuing
year. The company is to be known
as the White Bluffs and Columbia
River Telephone company. Capital
with which to construct and operate
the system is furnished by the above
named trustees and by the officials
of the White Bluffs Land and IT.
rigation company.
Yakima Republic.
Homeseekers unafraid of the vic
issitudes confronting all pioneers can
make good here Il they can any
where. But this big valley land is
uncongcnial to the man with a
quaking soul. The folks here well
come homeseekers of the right sort.
But the man who expects to loaf
around town or loll in the shade of
a shack and have some one hand
him an easy, lazy Ewing will be
Disappointed in the heart of the early
fruit belt.
The Catholics celebrated the first
mass in tho White Bluffs couptry
last Friday morning. The adherents
of that faith gathered in r. p.
Henery's tent home and offered de-
votions. Rev. Father Frederick,
who has been assigned to the work
in the Columbia river valley, was
the priest in charge.
A petition was circulated around
town the first of the week for sig
natures to a request to have Rev.
w. M. Faux of this place appointed
to the pastorate vacated by Rev
T. M. Waller, whose i'll health COM
PEELED him to give up the work.
The petition as presented to DR..
Ghormley, the synodical missionary,
was an influential one. and DR..
Ghormley recognized it by appoint
ing Mr.. Faux temporary pastor to
serve until further official action is
taken. Mr. Faux is an ordained
minister and during Mr.. Walters
illness has been occupying the pulpit
acceptably. 1t is probable that Mr..
Faux will continue as the pastor
here.
Next Thursday is Thanksgiving.
II you can find nothing at all to
be thankful for. YOU had better
have your physician. prescribe some
done for your liver, for you surely
need fixing.

CONTEST IN FIRST WARD
 OVER ALDERMANIC SEAT
Wells Declares for Mercy in Prefer. ence to Rice, Who Seeks Promo
 tiOn-What Will Hart Do?

A merry battle is brewing in repub- lican circles in the first ward because of an announcement by Alderman George H. Wells. who has decided not to run for office again, that he favors the election of Councilman B. c. Mercy as his successor. Councilman Henry W. Rice is also an aspirant for the position and friends of both can- didates predict that. If both remain in the race. the result will not be known until the last ballot is counted at the primaries. Rice has another year to serve as councilman, but has decided to try on a. pair of, aldermanic shoes, if he can find pair to fit.
 c. H. Maxon is candidate for councilman. There is some doubt whether H. s. Hart will run again for councilman, and in the event that he desires to retire, it will be necessary to name someone else for his place. It is said that a dark horse is being groomed and will be trotted out at the opportune moment, if Councilman Hart decides to leave the common council. Mir. Hart ia now on a trip to South America.
 Alderman Wells is of the opinion that the charter should be amended to provide for the establishment of a garage commission. consisting of two factory traffic managers Snd a prac- tical mechanic.

There are two kinds of guests, those one never wants to see again and those one would like to have per petually under ones roof. If hostess and host must be carefully consid- crate, so must the guest. Hospitality is a privilege well worth cultivating, but it never must be imposed upon. The boor soon finds himself only tol- efated, or even excluded.
 The Guest.
 1. One should answer his invita- tion promptly and specifically, repeat ing place and date.
 2. The guest should be punctual, whether the occasion is dinner, dance, thcater or house party.
 3. One must find enjoyment in everything the hostess or host pro- poses for his pleasure, expressing no choice unless an alternative is offered.
 1. The best hammered guest makes it as easy as possible for the hostess or host to make his stay pleasant.
 5. If one be invited to an affair while he has an out-of-town friend stopping with him, it is proper for him to write the hostess, asking an invitation for the friend, but one

Letter From Mrs. Mary Alden Prcs-
 colt to Miss Priscilla Bradford. My Dear Prissy:
 It is very kind of you. my dear child, to keep mo so thoroughly in- formed of Johns Wedding, otherwise I should have known very little about it. I expect it is Johns wedding isn't it? see very little mention of my boy in the papers, and perhaps this is just as we'll, tor to my old-fashioned ideas, the accounts which l have read 50 far have been of such a nature that old as am, havo blushed.
 cannot understand this modern craze for notoriety. Modesty used to be the greatest jewel that could adorn woman and l am sure, my dear Prissy, that is why have always loved you so dearly. had always hoped that you and John might care for each other enough for me to call you daughter, and cannot help feel that he is making great mistake by rushing headlong into this marriage.
 shall be in Sharon on thc day be- fore the wedding and I wish you would come and stay with me at the hotel until leave for home, which will probably be upon the ?3rd of the month?
 I have written to John to send a card or message Of some kind to- you announcing his marriage formally, and also asking him to have his bride elect call upon you. Please write me when she does this, exactly what you think of her. because rely greatly upon your judgment and opinion.
 Most affectionately yours,

 Old dog Spot could hear her chat tcring to herself, And then he sud denly spied Aunt Polly's sunbonnet which had fallen of her head there In her dooryard. He picked 1t up.
 Did you say I might have this one 2" he asked her.
 Aunt Polly muttered something more.
 She said, 'ycs'!" Spot cried And stopping only to stick his nose through the doorway, he parked Thank you very much!" Then he lopcd off toward the farm buildings, carrying Aunt Polly's sunbonnet in his mouth.
 It was lucky for Aunt Polly that it was only her second-best one.
 If Spot, on his way home. hadn't noticed half a dozen fat woodchucks summing themselves scar the clover patch. he would have taken the sun bonnet all the way to the farmyard and given it to Grandma Goose. But he wanted to chase those chucks. And when he came upon General Gander in the meadow, Spot dropped the sun bonnet at his feet
 Please take this to the lady with the big family" he said, meaning Grandma Goose. And off he dashed.
 The General looked at the sunbon- net. Then he turned and stared blankly at old dog Spot. who was al- ready scurrying up the hillside.
 He must mean Aunt Gussie Goose" the General decided. "Shc has ten goslings."
 He had forgotten that Grandma Goose had twelve.

Prescott.
 My Dear Mrs. Prescott:
 I expected you were quite as sur prised when your son announced to you that he was going to marry my daughter, as was 1 when Leslie came back from Albany and said that she was going to wed your son.
 After all, my dear Mrs. Prescott our children choose their own part ners and companions in life and live their own lives, do they not?
 1 expect you know--that John has told you already--that We have de- cidcd the wedding shall be church affair, with reception at our home. The ceremony will take place at high noon and the reception from 3 until 6 o'clock. That will give the we'd ding party time enough to return from the church and arrange them- selves in the receiving line.
 We shall be very glad indeed to have you come to us three or four days before the wedding, which will take place the 22nL of next month. We are putting John up at the Coun- try Club, and will be glad to have you at our house or at the Hotel Nir- ginia, as you prefer. The last three days before the wedding is filled with social affairs for Leslie. John will be here, and l am sure that you will en- joy the festivities.
 l know, my dear Mrs. Prescott, that you will love my little girl. Leslie all ways has been d good daughter to me. She is thoroughly modern in every re- spect; intelligent, we'll read, very pretty, stylish, and has an individuals ity which makes her stand out from the others in whatever class of society she finds herself. She is frankness it. self, and gives promise of making a splendid wife.
 Hoping to hear from you soon, as 1 shall want to place you most com fortably, Most cordially yours,

Old dog Spot had promised Grand ma Goose that he would try to get a sunbonnet for her. It had been his idea in the first place, that she should wear one during the hot weather. But he hadn't dreamed she would ask him to do such an errand for her.

 At last he trotted up to the hillside pasture. intending to ask Aunt Polly Woodchucks advice. She always wore a sunbonnct. He hoped she would help him.

 Stop. stop" Spot parked. But he had chased her too often. She only ran the faster.
