In size and flavor of the summer berries

on the Denton ranch, on Mill creek, and
were tho result of libera! irrigation after
the first berries had been picked. Mr.
Denton would have had double tho
quantity to dispose of had not a lot of
boys, while fishing on Mill creek made
a stolen raid on tho patch. It may be
added that tho vines are full of blossoms
as if they were set on producing a third
crop.

Little was done Saturday and today
in the way of soliciting subscriptions for

Biiccese the committee meets with will

it must not be taken for granted Uiat

Census returns show that the popula
tion of the country ia about 75,000,000.
Of the 52,000 enumeration districts, 17,
000 have been counted, showing a popu
lation of 25,000,000. According to the
law of averages this would indicate the
population of the country to be 77,000,
000. But as the count proceeds the gen
eral ' average of the districts falls off
enough to modify the total. The figures
show thirty-three per cent of the popu
lation live in towns of more than 8000
inhabitants. In 1890 it was twenty-nine
per cent. In the East from Maseachu
setts to Pennsylvania the average will be
higher. The decade just closed has
been a great one for immigration.

tion Company at that place say that
negotiations are under way for a sale of and Mrs. T. J. Drips, of this city, a son,
bonus which is expected to etipply thcU
money for complete construction. Co).
I. N. Peyton, of t tine city, preeident of
the company, made the following state
ment :
"The Spokane stockholders invested in
the stock of the company just as one
would invest in any business enterprise.
They paid for their stock in cash. Not
only that, but they have advanced out
of their own pockets about $50,000 ad
ditional, for which they hold as security
nothing but the note of the company.
About $200,000 in cash has been ex
pended on construction so far. It is
estimated that it will take about $150,
000 to clean up the debts of the company,
complete construction and put the
system in operation. We have put up
all the mony we can, or feel inclined to,
and eo suspend operations. A deal is
pending for the sale of bonds, which
may b9 completed soon, which will
provide funds for completing tiie work.
The road will cost nearly double what
was at first estimated. There is no
truth in the story that there is trouble
between tiie president of the company
and the stockholders. There has always
been the utmost harmony among the
local stockholders."

the fact that Bryan's greatest dcsiie is
