Of age, and had no relatives In this coun'
try. The funeral was held on Sunday.

Dox'r Cur Your HEADS OPE.-Two cars
containing thirty teams and complete
grading outfit arrived this morning from
the west, for work on the big canal. En-
gineer lockwood informed HERALD re-
porter to-day that the contractors had
been requested to hire as many teams
and employ as many Yakima men as pos
sible, but that the contractors found the
demands too exorbitant, and that men
and outfits could be brought from the
west side at less cost. The contractors
have another ground for complaint, and
that is that no sooner do they begin work

less these tactics are abandoned they will
bring in their supplies from other points.
