OUR PROSPECTS FOR 1880.

North Yakima for 1890 will be what
ever her people choose to make Il. With
proper aid from her public spirited citi-
Gems and business men she can advance
TO a greater degree than ever before.
Never were the prospects Of our city 50
bright, and never was there 50 much
promise Of improvement throughout the
county. The bonus necessary to secure
the building Of the railroad from Portland
to North Yakima and the expenditure Of
800, 700 in the county during the coming
season isassured. The Selah ditch, which
will bring $1,000 additional acres under
cultivation, is nearly completed. The
contract for the Oneida ditch, which viii
reclaim 5000 acres, has been let and the
work Is in progress. Thirteen thousand
acres Of arid land are Lader the ditch
being built by Messrs. Rich, Baxter,
sharkey and snivdy. The Yakima Canal
4 Land Company, with q capital stock
Of 1900, 900, will commence active ope-
Tations in the spring on q ditch Of suffi-
eient size to inigate 900 1000 acres Of land
lying between the Natcheez and Column
bia rivers. This ditch will be ninety.
eight miles in length and will be the most
