Adams County News from Ritzville, Washington • Page 3

LOCAL TOPICS. Daniel A. Scott, the young farmer of stentorian tone, giant intellect and exceptional integrity, has announced his avowed candidacy for the nomination for joint senator lor the ninth senatorial district comprising the counties of Adams, Franklin and a portion of Walla Walla to succeed Hon. Oliver T. Cornwell, and is now marshaling his forces for the contest.

The term is for four years and the people of Adams feel that as the honor has never been accorded this county, that there will be little or no objection to our naming the man at the next state convention. This aspirant for political preference will, we apprehend, prove very acceptable to people generally throughout the district and especially to farmers in whom they will find a worthy friend and able legislator, and is the man who can save us from the wrath to come. Walter Staser, the young attorney, bears the distinction of closely resembling the Late President McKinley in feature, height and build. The remarkable likeness has been noticed by traveling men, strangers and others who have seen and knew the martyr president in his lifetime and who vouch for the truthfulness of the striking resemblance. Be that as it may, we will say in defense of Mr.

Staser that he is not to blame nor in any way responsible for being the counterpart of the immortal and illustrious chieftain, which to his retiring disposition, is a notoriety unsought by him and is merely something he was not aware of and cannot conveniently avoid. A lecture on Bulgaria and Macedonia illustrated with stereopticrn views at the First Congregational church on Friday evening, February iq, by H. Melville Tenney of San Francisco and Dr. J. Henry House of Turkey.

Dr. House has been lor years in different parts of Turkey and Macedonia and has distinguished himself by having undertaken the secret work for the U. S. government for the release of Miss Ellen Stone who was captured and held prisoner by the Macedonian bandits. Admission free and a cordial invitation is extended to all to enjoy the evening.

W. C. Reeder returned Monday from a visit to Kahlotus and the Washtucna valley where he was reviewing business interests. He repoits conditions livening up in that locality and believes the proposed irrigation scheme a feasible undertaking. There is plenty of water, a natural elevation for its.Bow and reservoir capacity for stoiage, which would cover about 100.000 acres of rich country.

Of course these enterprises are slow movers but in his opinion they will eventually succeed and thus settle up and enrich the southern end of the county, and a part of Franklin. Roht. M. Goodwin, former proprietor of a dray line here, came down from Malaga Monday wearing his smile that never comes off. He is securing men and for a big excavation contract on a Kem.ewick irrigation ditch line and is also figuring on the constru-tion contiact on the Ellensburg-Lind cutoff.

Hon. Marcus Alonzo Hanna, United States senator from Ohio, expired at the residence in Washington city, Monday, Feby. 15, 1904, after an extended illness of two months finally drifting into ty-! phoid fever and ending in doath. He was born in the town of New Lisbon, Sept. 24, 1837, and was therefore in his 67th year.

He was strictly a self made man, preserving and successtul and his life of spirited energy is a notable drama, a romance of industrial progress and sterling achievement. No greater figure ever stood in the arena of American pol-1 ttics than he who today lies in state upon the bier while a nation bows in sadness and reverence tor him toward whom the sentiment of the people has been turning for the past twelve months. Standing within the shadow of an irreparable 10. we pause for a moment as the sympa-; thetic chord encircles the world and vaguely realize from the paa-. ing that all that is mortal must Mr.

Hanna will be sincerely mourned bV admirers and friends and missed Sn tiie councils of the nation. Th; bird.n he so long carried was over he ivy, the vigilant work too wearing, the pace too i rapid. Relief came in the same old way. In the annals of time the memory of this foremost citizen will be recalled with pride by future generations. Present Outlook Encouraging.

(Walla Walla Union) O. H. Greene, cashicr of the Pioneer State' Bank at Ritzville, and also of the Bank of Washtucna, at Washtucna, who has been in Walla Walla the past two days on a visit to relatives here, returned last night to his home in Ritzville. "Adams county has had several years of continuous prosperity," said Mr. Greene to a reporter yesterday, "and the present outlook is encouraging for a continuation ot the good times that prevail in that section.

The short crop last year was a little setback but the increased price at which most of the wheat raisers marketed their crop brought nearly as much money into the county as an average crop at the ordinary price for a number of years past, and the prosperity of the established far mers of Adams county was not seriously impaired. The newcomer was injured to some extent, however, but if present indications prove reliable this year's wheat crop in Adams county will be the biggest in the history of the county and the new settler who suffered by a partial failure last year will be put on liis feet in good shape." Mr. Greene is one of the pioneers of Adams county, his father, X. H. Greene, now president of the Pioneer State Bank, having been in business at Ritzville bej tore the county was organized.

Shall We Have a New Depot? There has been current rumor tor some time that our thriving little city is to have a new and uptodate passenger depot and all hope there is foundation for the report as nothing is more sadly needed than a modern depot to replace the excuse for one which has been in use since the town was founded. The present unattractive depot which entirely blocks 1) street, has a small waiting room, office freight house, and living ap ir nients ior the agent, all under one roof. There is nothing comfortable or inviting about the place except a first class agent and a corps of capable and obliging asssUtin.s and the public mind and business intesesis demand belter facilities and mor? consideration by the railroad company. Mr. L.

E. Paskill has repeateu'y recommended these necessary impiovements to the proper officia's ot the ror.d and many promises have been forthcoming yet we have the same little old dept. which barring the town of Hillvau! is the, worst we have the displeasure of noticing. Book Social. Next Monday evening at Greene's hall will be held the second annual top's birthday book social for the benefit of the public library.

Owing to the fact that the support of the library must tome from donations or proceeds from entertainments, it is hoped that all interested will lend a helping hand. The price of admission is one book or 35 cents, public school pupils 25 George and Martha Washington will be at the door to receive, and others in colonial costumes will assist. A splendid program of literary and musical numbers has been prepared. The committee have been working faithfully for several weeks and are sparing no pains to make it a success. The following persons will assist on the program: Recitations by Miss Whitney, Mr.

Barker and Miss Leonard, music by Mr. and Mrs. Erbes, the Apollo quartette, Miss Hallin, the Hanson quartette and others; addresses by O. R. Holcomb, J.

H. Perkins and Rev. Jones. Shooting Accident. Peter Koch was dangerously injured by the accidental discharge of a shotgun at a German wedding about Sunday noon.

The full contents of the weapon entered the body at the lower end of the spine making a most serious Dr. F. K. Burroughs was called by phone and drove the fourteen miles arriving on the sDene in less than an hour after the shooting occurred. It seems to be one of the customs among the German nationality to celebrate the marriage event by using firearms and other explosives and is one way they have of expressing their approval of the affair.

The unfortunate young man in this case was married last June to Miss Mary Lehman, who previous to that time had worked for a year as a domestic in this city. Republican Club.

FROM EXCHANGES. i The report from Seattle to the effect that construction men lor the Lind-El-1 lensburg cut off are now in the field is bevond doubt erroneous. If work on this railroad had really commenced either Ellensburg or Lind would know somejihing about it. No rons.i jction crew has started from Lind into the I.eld and jif any such a ihirg uken place at Ellensburg the papers would have something to say about the matter. This rut-; off will surely be built sometime, but the report that commenced cannot be true.

Five Uood Reasons That the Rio Grande Route is the most popular one between the Pacific Coast and the Kast, evidenced by the fact that the greater per cent of transcontinental travelers use it. First, the scenic attractions in view from trains are unequaled in the world.

Second, the daily personally conducted tourist car excursions being especially adapted for ladies traveling alone or with children.affords a ornfoitable mode of travel at rate.s within teach nf all. Third, it is the oiflv route between the F.ast and West passing directly through Salt Lake City or modern Fourth, the lion of two distinct routes through the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Fnth, three fast through trains daily between Ogdcn and Denver equipped with every modern convenience.
