A DOUBLE MARRIAGE.-St. Joseph's
church was we'll filled on Tuesday morn
ing last with interested friends who had
gathered to witness the unusual occur
renee Of double wedding. The contract
ing parties were Frank X. Nagler and
Miss Sarah A. Ward, George l.. Falter'
meyer and Jeanette NJ. Ward. The groonis
are members Of the firm Of Nagler & Fall
termeyer, cigar manufacturers Of Ellens-
burgh and Yakima. The brides are the
daughters Of John Ward, a well known
citizen Of South Butte, Montana, but who
since the death Of their mother have been
brought up under the fostering care Of the
Catholic sisters Of Yakima. Rev. Father
Victor Garland performed the ceremony,
which was impressive in the extreme. At
its conclusion the invited guests adjourned
to the Hotel Bartholet. where thirty COW
ers had been laid for wedding breakfast
which was the pink Of culinary art.
There were dozen courses, and the health
and prosperity Of the brides and groOms
were pledged in rare wines. Mr.. Ward
officiated a. toast.master, and his remarks
were all in q happy vein, as were the re-
sponses by the guests present. In the
evening the dining room Of the hotel wps
turned into dancing-hall, and a merry
party enjoyed themselves until the morn
ing hours. Mr.. and Mrs. Nagler and Mr..
and Mrs. Faltermeyer received numerous
handsome wedding gifts, which attested
the high favor in which they were held
by their many friends.
EvICTING FEATHERED TENANTs.-All Of
the swallows in this section Of the coun
try evidently held convention and de-
cided to establish colony in the caves
Of the Yakima National bank block, for
they started in and worked assiduously
In building their homes at this particular
location. Nowhere else In the city were
they to be seen, although there were many
spots apparently as inviting, but here
they colonized, mated and prepared to
fulfill natures law to multiply and in
crease. The little oval and speckled eggs
were laid in profusion, and everything
indicated that there would be swallows
ito throw at BIRDS" but, to tranSpose an
old proverb, God proposes and man dis
poses, for the constant twitter Of the
birds annoyed the owners and occupants
Of the building to such an extent that
when the fremen were out drilling on
Friday night last they were called upon
to play the hose on the habitations Of
the feathered innocents. And then such
an outcry. 1t was pitiful to see the birds
flock out, circle about and utter their
plaintive notes as the ruthless waters
washed away the homes they had labored
20 hard to construct ladened with eggs
that were to bring forth the young under
the mothers fostering wing, and many a
c0mmiserating exclamation was uttered
by passers-by, especially from the lips Of
the gentler sex, as the work Of destruc-
ton was prosecuted.
LOCATED ON A MoUNrAN.-A gigantic
scheme to take in the gullible was devel-
oped this week by the filing with Auditor
Ellis Of the plat Of National Park City, a
paper town, located about twelve miles
up the Yakima canyon. The plat covers
about las acres, and is in sec. 8, twp IA,
range 10 east, which was assessed last
year to the Northern Pacific railroad at
$50, or l2Is cents an acre. The townsite
embraces 1850 twenty-five feet lots, some
Of which are q thousand feet up in the
air, on the top Of bald basaltic noun
tain. The deed to the townsite was made
by Jay N. Leonard and Matte S. Leonard
to Barlow & Gleeb, Of Tacoma. The first
intimation here Of National Park City
was the receipt by the auditor Of deeds to
lots, with the request Of the purchasers
that they be filed for record. Auditor
Ellis notified the parties that there was
no plat Of any such town In his Office, but
on Tuesday the plat was received and en-
tered, as 1t was drawn up in proper form
and regularly certified to.
YAKIMA TO BE EXTENSIVELY ADVERTISED.
p. B. Groat, the general immigration
agent Of the Northern Pacific railway,
arrived here from the east Wednesday
and spent couple Of days in visiting the
Mckee and Sunnyside sections with a
view to advertising the country and &C.

Of farmers, gardeners and fruit growers.

cursion trains to arrive here in June from
the central states, and believes that the
land now being reclaimed by the N. p,

indicates that Yakima will soon support
a larger population than any other county
in the state.
