county has had what might be called by
curtesy q fair, with horse racing attach.
ment, but OF all the unfair affairs Of the
kind 1t was probably unequaled. In the
dash between the EIlensbuTgh horse
Dandy and the Yakima horse Red Dick
the judges rendered q decision Of q dead
heat although the Yakima horse came
under the wire fifty feet ahead. The
judges claimed that the local horse was
not beaten by more than thirty feet and
he had lost that much by his rider not
understanding the signal Of the starter,
but as the two horses were within three
or four feet q each other at the start and
as they were started fairly and squarely
there was no excuse for the decision
Of the judges. Even the spectators howl
ed and Kissed and S. R. Geddis, Johnny
Arthur and others openly denounced the
fraud. The races in the past, on the Kit
titas track, have been characterized by
jobbery, and after this last outrage it will
be difficult for the directors Of the associ-
alton to secure any more Yakima horses.
A MILLION DOLLAR CANAL.-Previoust
leaving for Montana, to be absent about ten
days, Chief Engineer J. D. Mcintyre told
q HERALD reporter that after running
over the six ditch lines already surveyed,
including the Sunnyside line, he had
abandoned them all and decided upon q
new line which was far more practicable,
would cost $20O,OOO less money and
would water q much larger area Of coun-
try. The canals as projected by Mr.. Nc
Intyre would cost in the neighborhood Of
u million dollars and would redeem $780,
600 acres Of arid land. While the HER
AID is not at liberty to give the lines to
be traverSed we can say that It will open
up an immense body Of country directly
tributary TO North Yakima and In itself
be the means CT building up this city to
proportions that will make II without
question the metropolis Of Central Wash"
ington. The main canal will be over q
hundred miles in length and extend to
the Columbia river.
FUNERAL or Jay HoLTON.-The funeral
Of Jay Holton was held from the family
residence on Friday last and was very
largely attended. The address Of Rev.
CheadIe was beautiful and affecting. He
spoke Of the life and death Of the young
man; how the deceased knew nothing Of
approaching dissolution until an hour be-
fore his death, and how the announce.
ment was received by him with slight
signs Of establishment but no expression
Of regret and then quietly prepared for
the end Of terrestrial life. The body was
taken to Portland by the sorrowing fam.
lily that evening and deposited In vault,
where Il will remain until II can be re-
moved TO its last resting place at Battle
Creek, Michigan.
