The Yakima Daily Republic ans
wers as follows a correspondent who
wants to know how a certain street
In that place, and certain tributary
of the Yakima river are spelled:
Reader, you may spell the name
any way you please. It does not mat
ter how much you spell It, some one
else will spell It differently. So there
Is no use In your losing sleep over
such a trifling matter. It is JusCabout
as easy to take the crook out of a
man's back as to attempt lo regulute
the spelling of the name of the river
and the street referred to.
It Is spelled four different ways by
the people of this valley. The Re
public has been for years attempting
to train the people to spell It a cer
tain way, but they seem lo take no
heed. Here are the four ways of
spelling It:
Naches.
Natches.
Natchez. a
Nocheese.
The Republic has adopted the first
spelling because that Is the way the
geographers of the government have
sought to pass upon It at one of their
solemn sittings.
Natches may be correct; Natchez
might be correct, but Nocheese should
be the correct way.
Many people confound the name
with that of "Natchez," the Indian
name of a city In Mississippi; but
there is no connection between the
two. Nocheese Is the Indian name
given to the stream In years gone by.
How, when and by whom It was thus
christened nobody knows. The word
is said to me.in "swift waten" The
first syllable of the word Is snld to
mean "swift," second syllable "water."
If this Information will enlighten
the reader he Is welcome to It, but
he should not tell his neighbor, for It
would do him no good; he would go
on spelling "Nackes" In the same old
way.

In the following Interview, threatens
the county and state with an Inde

'I notice that nominations for coun

wherein a few henchmen and design

mismanagement, Incompetency and
graft by naming their own personal

"If It appears that nn attempt Is to
be made to carry out the progrnm a
non-partisan ticket will undoubtedly
be named In the county, and If

have been forgetful of their official

that a non-partisan state ticket will be
