Col. l.. S. HOwLETT HoNoRED.-Gov-
ernOr Ferry has appointed Col. L. S.
Hewlett the delegate to represent the
state Of Washington at the national irri-
cation convention to be held at Salt Lake,
Utah, on the 18th, 10th and 18th OF Sep
TENDER. Col. Hewlett is we'll qualified to
represent this state in the convention
but as the appointment carries with Il no
salary, or even expenses, he will doubt
less be obliged to decline the honor.
Yakima as containing the greatest irri-
cation projects in the world should GER
tainly be represented and the Northern
ern Pacific, Yakima & Kittitas Irrigation
Co. could well afford to provide for Col.
Howlett's expenses and services, as
irrigation capitalists from all over will be
there and the reports Of the meeting will
be generally circulated in irrigated Sec
tons. As an immigration project, among
the very classes that would most benefit
Yakima and the state at large, this has
no superior.

one found since the $500 nugget picked
up on the Swauk several years ago. Sc

Tuesday about twenty men from that city,
headed by DR.. Kellogg and the Dennys,
left Ellensburgh, where they had out
fitted, to prospect the Swauk and Peshas-
tin districts. The Menastach is also
attracting much attention and it is be-
lieved that II will prove rich camp. A
company is now spending considerable
money for machinery to work the bar at
the mouth Of the creek from which 1t is
confidently anticipated much gold will
be taken.
A SAD DEATH.-Miss Ethel Weikel,
step-daughter Of d. r. Fish, aged IA
years, died on Wednesday, August 9Th, Of
peritonitis. Much sympathy is felt for
the family Of the deceased who can
scarcely realize their great loss so sud.
denly has ii come upon them. Miss
Ethel was apparently in good health
only q few days previous when she visited
this city, and her charming appearance
was commented upon by friends. The
funeral will take place Friday and its sad
ness will be intensified by the absence oil
George Weikel, brother Of the deceased,
who is some where in the mountains and
knows nothing Of the sorrow that awaits
him.
The TICKET THEY RECAPrURED.-The
escaped railroad ticket thief, Albert vii.
bur, was captured by Deputy Sheriff
