The following is 40 extract from Editor

to his paper, the Walla Walla S.a.esmad:
THE Yakima exhibit OF fruit is some
thing grand, aud wSs very sorry 10 find
WGllG Walla not represented this year as
last. Yakima Is fOraing aheod in every
respect, and that countrv viii. by meaps
Of its immense system Of irrigation, soon
be another Salt Lake valley"

wagon IL the work OF Michael S.horn,

painted "F. aod T. Coop. Store"
J. L. Smith left for The Sound, Sunday,
and Al Katz followed a few days later.
Messrs. KAtE & Smith do not know the
intentions Of the N. p, Y. & X. /. COM
pany, and their visit 10 Tacoma is mainly
10 learn something on this head. It has
been repoted here that the contracts
have been let and that Messrs. Katz &
Smith are not the successful bidders;
bat Mr.. KstE, previous 10 his leaving,
saiH he took no stock in the report, as
Paul SchulEe had told him that no further
contracts had been let. The contractors
say that the company is permitting the
best working season to slip by, and evil
IDENTIFY they have little faith in doing
anything on the ditch very 5000, as part
Of their plant was shipped to Spokane
last week to be used in making some fills
on the liue Of the Northern PGe;fc.
Robert Moore, who has lived near Puy-
allup since 1854, predicts that there will
be no hop lice next year. He says that
q warm chinook wind comes every two
years in February. This wind, he says,
lasts sufficient length Of time to begin
the work Of Matching out the hop lice
eggs. After the chinook wind ceases il
turns cold, and the result is that the eggs
are added and about all the hop lice are
killed. This chinook wind, Mr.. Moore
says, is due in February, 1895, Sud he is
certain about all the lice eggs will be ad-
died, and that the pest will not hurt the
hop crop Of 1893. Hop farmers on the
Sound hope most sincerely that Mr..
MOore's prediction is true, for through
lice and other causes IL Is now believed
that the crop Of this state will not 50 over
5000 bales, while some clS;m that It
viii fall 5000 bales short Of these figures.
