A Change of Postmastors.

A private dispatch received from
Washington last Saturday announced
the appsintment Of II. A. Galloway as
postmaster at Vinita and the informa-
tion was verified by an examination of
the Globe Democrat Of the previous
day, which stated the appointment.
"vice NJ. f. Milford, removed" The
removal was made without warning
and in the face of the statement uni
versally heard upon the streets, that
"Mr. Milford has made the best post
master the town ever had" 1t is
stated that the removal was secured
at the instance Of certain old soldiers
on the ground that The CHIEFrAIS on
April 3rd published ian untruthful,
vicious attack on the g. A. r. post at
Tahleqush, disgraced American jour
nalism ard offered an insult to the en-
tire Grand Army organization" The
remarkable document which makes
this remarkable declaration is sigued
BY Houston Smith and s. S. Stephens.
We shall possibly allnde to the mat
ter at a future day.

"Your reliance is placed on corn and

vinita and the Train Rohhery.

The city papers which arrived here
Thursday night contained fiaring ac-
count Of the arrest Of the principal
figure in the Otleryille robbery, and
strange to say, vinita was connected
with the case. At Pacific, Mo, a man
named James McConkey was arrested
on telegraphic description and on his
person were found two cattle contracts
signed by B. E. Walker, agent for the
Frisco at this place. The engineer
and fireman were brought on from St.
Louis and as is usually the case, iden-
tilted the prisoner fully as the man
who sprung the gun upon them in the
cab. McConkey stated that he wac
cattleman from Wichita Falls, Texas,
and that he came np with two cars of
cattle, via. Vinita, where he was given
the Frisco contracts by Agent Walker
OF course his story went for naught
and McGonkey spent the night heavily
ironed in the Pacific Jail. Next morn
ing, by the aid of the telegraph, tho
suspect" vigorously set about extri-
eating himself from his unenviable
position and in a short time was able
10 convince the detectives who he was
and to secure his release. Vinita has
a faculty of getting a place in most
of the southwestern sensations of any
consequences.

Organization Of the Yakima Canal and
Land Company.



The Yakima Canal and Land Company
was organized On the 4th day OF Deem
Der, 1889, with capital stock OF q 'OOO,.
OOO, divided into 10000 shares of $500
each. The officers Of the Company for
ior the first three months are Walter N.
Granger, Of st. Paul, President; James
Millisch' Secretary, and Albert Klein
schmidt, ot Helena, Treasurer. The prin-
cipal Offices are located at Helena and
North Yakima.
In January last number Of persons,
experienced In construction oi irrigation
canals, conceived the idea Of purchasing
the lands Of the Northern Pacific Railroad
lying south Of North Yakima and easteriy
OF the Yakima river, embracing what are
known rs the sunnyside fruit lands In
Yakima county, Washington, and build
ing an irrigation canal to water them and
the alternate sections Of government land.
Engineers were placed In the Held, but
twas soon learned that 1t would be long
tedious and expensive work to determine
practicable routeior the canal hence al
negotiations were discontinued until the
engineers should complete their work and
make report. After running nearly

troll the express business Of the country
on the same principles. The cities and
towns Of the country should take charge,
rs municipal functions, Of the heating,
lighting and running Of street cars and
all methods Of rapid transit. These con-
ditions, II carried out, would affect the
condition Of 100000 workingmen
Throughout the country. Nobody wants
harsh measures, but the general public
interest demands great change.
''0ur object In urging these changes 10
three-iold. First, they. are in the line
with, and are step-stOnes to, ultimate ma
tionalization. Second, they will benefit
the general consuming public by q great
er cheapness and efficiency in these
branches Of service. Third, they afford
the means by which the condition Of a
vast body Of workmen can be placed on q
humane and secure basis. The first Of
these objects Is logical, and the two latter
are merely principles Of application.
"What steps would you take to prevent
political jobbery and corruption ?" queried
the reporter.
"We propose the following plan" was
the reply, "as the basis Of organization,
for the double end Of preventing political
abuse and securing humane conditions:
On the naturalization Of any industry
the existing force engaged In the industry
would be taken into the municipal and
national employment. All employees
would be guaranteed q permanent tenure
Of employment except in cases Of fault
or Incompetence, which would be de-
termined by q tribunal expressly consti-
tuted for that purpose. Admission to the
service would be 10 the lowest grade, this
admission to be determined by priority ol
application, subject to certain tests"
"DO you mean to say that this would
do away with patronaee?" was asked.
''Let US suppose" Mr.. Bellamy replied,
'that the mayor Of New York would ap.
point the head Of the gas department. He
would have no patronage whatever, and
no power Of appointment or removal. He
would merely have power Of suspension
from duty during the offenders trial by
the courts. There would be no provision
for the impeachment Of any officer who
used his Office for political purposes"
"what about our present educational
system ?" asked the reporter.
1.-THE present system Of education is
failing 10 reach the children Of the poor," !"
was the response. "Why is this so? Sim.
ply because IL is necessary to put them to
work at very early age. The big Massa.
chusetts mills are full Of children eleven
or twelve years Of age. The age Of COM
pulsory education should be raised to
seventeen years, and the state should

THE LLOYD BROS. FAILURE
The Most Prominent EIIsnsbuISh Firm
Forced to IN Assignment.
Causes which LED % the suspenslon
ssAnOtheF HOuse lnvolved--Esal-


On Friday Of last week the wholesale
and retail mercantile house Of Lloyd
Bros, Ellensbureh, the largest concern Of
the kind in central Washington, closed
tts doors, making an assignment by chat
tel mortgage 10 preferred creditors. In
speaking Of the failure the Ellensburgh
ReOisstr has the following:
"The suspension Of the large mercan-
tile house Of Lloyd Brothers, Of this city,
has caused feeling Of sympathy through
out the entire community. The trouble
dates back to the great Ere Of July fourth,
and what is surprising that more Of our
merchants did not 20 down or rather up
in the great collagration. The above
firms loss was much greater than they
were aware Of at that time, owing to the
fact that they had lost in the fire the
record Of many Of their obligations. Their
new tWOstory brick cost them much more
than they had anticipated, or more than
they could afford 10 put into fixed in-
yestment, thus Withdrawing Il from active
business. This, Of course, tied up much
Of their available means, and as they
have been unable, owing to the strin-
gency Of the money market, to affect an
adequate loan on the property, as they
fully expected to do whrn they decided 10
rebuild. Again, they had bought heavily,
expecting a large trade this season, but
owing to the short crop and the embar-
assment arising from the Gre, like thou
sands Of others, they have been obliged
to suspend. The books Of the firm show
that they have made herculean efforts 10
bridge over the situation, as they have
paid from t25 900 10 $4,000 in the last
thirty days to their creditors. The load,
however, was too great, as certain large
eastern creditors, including two Iowa
banks, pressed for payment or security.
The latter not being given them precipi-
tated the suspension. II satisfactory ar
rangements can be made with the cred
itors, the firm hopes to resume business
in short time"
Much sympathy Is felt in Yakima over
the misfortunes Of Messrs. Lloyd Bros,
who had considerable Of an acquaintance
here, and whose intentions II was to open
up similar store In this city this coming
spring. An Ellensburgh dispatch TO the
