TIE Bio DrTCH.-Albert Kleinschmidt
and V. ". Granger, Of Helena, have been
in the city for several days this week
awaiting the arrival Of Paul Schulze to
arrange for the beginning Of work on the
big Sunnyside ditch. Mr.. Schulze has
telegraphed that he will pass through
Yakima Friday evening, and Wm. Ker,
who will be one Of the board Of directors
Of the new company, will join him here.
There is nov q report current that the
water for the ditch will be taken from the
Yakima river and carried across the
Mckee, but THE HERALD could trace this
INT to no authentic head. The gen.
eral impression Of those in Yakima who
understand irrigation matters is that the
ditch should be taken high enough up on
the Natcheez to cover the bench lands to
the west, although Mr.. McIntyre's lines
just skirt the basin and are lower than
the waterworks or Hubbard bitches.
SUNDAY Morris FRE.-The residence
Of County Auditor Mathew Bartholet was
destroyed by fire on Sunday night last.
II is supposed the fire was the result Of
the explosion Of a lamp in the servants
room, as Miss Schanno, the only mem
Der Of the family at home, first discovered
the flames in that quarter, and noticed
the broken lamp on the floor. The fire
department was promptly at hand, but
had some trouble in getting water on the
burning building, but when once started
effective work was done and the flames
kept from spreading to the adjoining
building. Nj. Bartholet valued his house
at q thousand dollars, on which there was
an insurance Of $3.50 In one Of the COM
panies handled by Fred R. Reed & Co.
The furniture on the first floor was saved,
but that in the second story, together
with the clothing Of the Misses Schanno,
went up in smoke.
"THEY WILL BE WELCOME TO THE BEST
OF AJJ."-It has been decided to hold the
first annual encampment Of the Sons Of
Veterans in Yakima on or about the 10th
Of June. Col. Allen, Of Spokane Falls,
the commandments Of the state, gave
the preference Of the encampment to
Yakima over Tacoma, Seattle, Ellens-
burgh and Spokane Falls, which were en-
deavoring to secure the prize. Fifteen
camps will be represented, and Il is be-
lieved that there will be upwards Of five
hundred visitors here. Yakima must do
than hang out bunting on this occa-
sion, for she will have for her guests the
representatives Of patriotism and progress
Of the state, and In addition to putting on
her best bib and tucker, she must throw
open the doors Of her houses and her
larders and bid all q hearty welcome.
DECAY OF ANAcoRrEs.-C. E. Smith
arrived from Anacortes Monday and gives
q gloomy picture Of that one time boom
ing town. Anacortes was christened after
