The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1891-08-27

been warned repeatedly through TIE
HERALD, and whose money might have
been applied very satisfactorily on local
debts, thought they could do better by
trading with the fakir than with home
merchants, and the result was the same
old story. It is true that the bait Of q
vanishing twenty-dollar bill was held up
TO the greedy gudgeons, but it is certain
that notwithstanding affirmative declaTa-
tons Of those taken in no one got one Of
the big bills. Several persons bought
watches without works, and are now
forced TO use the tAWny cases either as
snuff.boxes, bOHbORiereS, or throw them
away as useless. The HERALD has no
sympathy for those who were done for.
"A delicious summer dessert, and one
that Is familiar 10 most housekeepers, is
0 mold Of farina pudding served with
preserved strawberries or cherries and
cream. What il not 30 familiar, perhaps
70 some Of them Is the method Of taking
away the solidity Of this pudding, rem
dering 1t light and creamy. A young
woman noted for her delicate farina
molds gives the receipt In full: To one
quart Of milk, four tablespOonsful Of
iarina, pinch Of sugar. Boil in double
boiler until slightly thickened, and i'm
mediately upon taking from the stove
stir in the .stifiiy beaten whites Of three
eggs, after which mold.
John A. Stone arrived from the
Sound on Saturday with q number Of
contractors, and work will be commenced
Immediately on tire Selah ditch. Camps
have already been established and men
are being sent to the front rs fast as pos
sible. The main canal will be enlarged
for distance Of nine miles and an ex-
tension Of two miles built. The work is
heavy and considerable money will be
expended, as seventy-five men will have
employment for several months. It is
estimated that s25, 900 will be expended
every dollar Of which will be distributed
here.
The N. P. tariff sheet, giving rate
Of 20 cents per hundred on carload lots
Of produce from North Yakima to Port
land, Tacoma and Seattle, was received
by Agent Humphrey on Saturday last.
The new rate went into effect Aug. 10th
but for some reason there was failure to
notify the agent. The HERALD, however,
as usual, published the rate, and it was
authentic, although it rdS neWS to the
local officers Of the company.
Robert Crory has gone into the prog
nostication Of weather in good earnest.
According to his predictions the hot sea-
son will be succeeded Immediately by
cooler weather, and 1t will be 80 cold this
winter that II will freeze the spheres off the
church spires. One Of the indications on
which he bases his latter forecast is that
the ears Of corn are closely wrapped in a
double coat-that is to say, an undercoat
and an overcoat
David LOngmire brought to The HER
AID Office Tuesday q large and very hand
some specimen Of rock showing stratum
Of solid ore, supposed TO be lead and
silver, nearly two inches in thickness.
No assay has yet been made Of the rock
which came from a claim in which Mr..
Longmire is interested, situated about 80
miles northwest Of Yakima. 1t looks to
be the very quintescence Of richness.
The fifth annual meeting Of the
Washington Press Association will be
held at Tacoma beginning Thursday,
Sept. 10th, and continuing three days.
Among the entertainments on the pro-
gram is banquet ct the Tacoma CONNER
cial club, the freedom Of the Washington
exposition, excursions on the electric
cable and motor lines, and an excursion
to Victoria on the City Of Kingston.
The agricultural college case has been
carried to the supreme court and the COL
lege commissioners have been restrained
from issuing warrants against the state
appropriation and from doing any other
acts towards establishing the college. As
there IL certain to be an extra session Of
the legislature the definite location Of the
college will doubtless be made then.
Two freight trains crashed together
on the Northern Pacific near Palmer, on
Sunday afternoon, resulting in the kill
ing Of Engineer David Young and Fire
man Frank Cooper. Both engines were
totally ruined and three cars knocked
into Green river. The accident was due
TO neglect Of orders received by Conduc-
tor Bloom Of the east bound train.
The Yakima horses didn't seem 70
be in the Kent races very hard and tIie
wonderful things expected Of William
Splawn's Parole and George Eaton's
Black Prince were not realized. In the
half mile dash Parole was sixth, while In
the quarter dash Black Prince failed to
get of, and Charley Campbell's Lady
jerks was given fifth place.
I'm justice to G. A. Weaver, whom
the ticket thief Wilbur had implicated in
the theft, 1t is proper to state that Wilbur
has confessed his crime to Deputy Sheriff
Dilley and acknowledged that his state
ment regarding Mr.. Weaver had no ioun-
dation whatever. Those who know the
latter gentleman were troubled, with no,
