points in the state, while Mr.. Messenger
elected to remain in Yakima during his

Mrs. A. Vane, who recently arrived in
this city from Spokane, observes a very
marked difference between the business
conditions here and those Of the latter
place. She insists that the people here
are cheerful, acti re and appear to have
no complaint to make about hard times,
while in Spokane the reverse is the case.
"Besides that" said the lady, North
Yakima is the prettiest little city 1t has
been my pleasure to visit in this state
and have been all over Washington.
Really, believe will organize a class or

pany, who has been out into the county
during the past week on business, esti-
mates that the total yield OF grain in this
county will be between 275, 900 and 800,
900 bushels. This estimate is far in ex-
cess OF the yield of last year, the general
average in yield being greater and the
increase in the acreage being considerable.
Mr.. Miller says the crop in the famous
Horse Heaven country is better than ever
before, the yield being from ls to %
bushels, without irrigation.

the desperate scamp to a halt and the
officer secured him.
1t will be gratifying to the many friends
of James E. Cook, of Yakima City, to
learn that he is not so severely injured as
reported last week. Indeed, there were
no bones broken, the injuries being only
flesh wounds, and, although he is unable
to move about without crutches, he is
recovering rapidly. In a note to this
paper Mr.. Cook assures US that he is get
ting along comfortably and will probably
be able to discard the crutches in week
or so and resume his work.
City Sea yenger Curry says he has his
eye on the fellow who dumps garbage in
the big bitches hereabouts and that q
repetition OF that offense will prompt him
to file charge against him. This is
probably the chap who hauls filthy gar
bage through the streets in the day time.
II there be no law against that sort oil
thing. sense OF common decency ought
to prevent it.
