The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1890-07-24

conIact ior Lne Guy printing AhohuAy
evening to the Republic, at FIVE cents per
square and one cent per description for
delinquent tax notices. The council
could not do otherwise, as TIE HERALD's
bid was thirty cents per square and If
teen cents per delinquent tax description.
The Republics bid was very low, consid-
cradle lower in fact than It costs to set up
the matter, but it was not made with any
view Of beneftting the dear people, as the
Republic petitioned the council to give it
the city printing at legal rates l.50 per
square) without submitting the contract
to q bid, and its proprietor opportuned
officials Of the city to give him this work
at said exhorbitant rates. As no news
paper can afford to do advertising for less
than cost, 1t will be wise for the council,
which is in for retrenchment, TO care
fully scan the bills for job printing and
see that the charges are not made In ex-
cess Of commercial rates.
FORTUNATE ENDING OF AN ACCIDENT
On Thursday Of last week James Stuart,
Of the Mckee, accompanied by his wife
and babe, attempted to ford the Yakima
in light hack. They were unsuccessful
in striking good ford, and before they
were half wSy across the horses were
struggling in deep water and the swift
current overturned the wagon. Mrs.
Stuart grabbed the baby and Mr.. Stuart
getting hold Of his wife made the shore
with his precious freight, but only after
an awful struggle, in which he was i'm
peded by the plunging horses. Then
jumping into the stream again, he cut the
fastenings which held the horses to the
wagon and the almost exhausted animals
soon found safety on solid ground. Later
on, some bridge men assisted Mr.. Stuart
in getting his hack from the river, so
that what promised to be most serious
accident terminated in only slight loss
and good Wetting.
SWELL INDIANS FROM SEATrLE.-The
hali-breed arrested last week for dispos-
ing of liquor to Indians, has been given
his freedom upon the payment Of fine
and costs amounting to about SO. He
telegraphed his predicament to his rela-
tives in Seattle who, by the rise in real
estate, are well healed, and they imme-
diately came over and put up the required
money. They were the SWEETEST Indians
who ever trod the soil Of Yakima and
nothing was too good for their high ideas.
They rode around the city in a hack,
stopped at the Hotel Yakima, and when
they retired for the night the woman Of
the party deposited diamonds worth five
or six hundred dollars with Landlord
Anterior for safe keeping. They were
graduates from heblanket school.
GIVE MAUDE GRANGER A WELCOME
L'Heritage d'Helene, Qnheritedl, the
emotional play in which that powerful
actress, Miss Maude Granger, will appear
at the opera house on Thursday evening,
July Slst, was written by Richard Davy
and Mrs. Lucy Hooper and is pronounced
by the London Dramatic Neigs, and in
fact by the press everywhere, as work
Of great merit. The plot and incidents,
while very thrilling, are most natural, q
combination seldom attained. Miss
Granger rarely stops in places Of the size
of Yakima, and she was only persuaded
to favor us on a guarantee made by few
who were anxious that such meritorious
and renowned actress should not pass us
by. No lover Of the drama in Yakima
can afford to miss this treat.
The Big CANAL A SURE GOWN.
Ham Hall, the famous irrigation engineer,
left for California, Tuesday, after several
days spent in examining the surveys Of
the N. PAY. Irrigation Co., made by
Engineer Mcintyre. It is learned, on
reliable authority, that Mr.. Hall has pro-
bounced the whole enterprise practicable
and that the canal will be built. A force
of engineers commenced cross-sectioning
the line yesterday and construction will
begin as soon as they can get the stakes
set. Messrs. Mcintyre, Kleinschmidt and
Granger sold out all their interests some
time ago and the transfer will be made to
the N. p. Co. within few days, and the
work will henceforth be in the hands Of
that company.
