THE Deestrick Skule" at the Ahtanum
church on Friday evening last was we'll
attended by Yakima people, and it is
right that it should have been. No enter
prise in the country is more deserving,
and no cause is more worthy OF the sup
port OF the people generally than the
academy, toward the maintenance OF
which the returns from the entertainment
went. Unfortunately, the roads were in
very bad condition, but, it being bright
moonlight night, the brave ones and the
fellows with their best girls sailed forth,
arriving both there and back without
serious accident, so far as heard, and
were well repaid for the trouble taken.
The entertainment was in two parts, and
both were exceptionally well given. Wal.
lace Wiley as schoolmaster wildly re-
called our very early days, and the visit
OF the committeeman upon the last day
of the term, their advice and approval, is
so easily remembered that it seemed
almost real again. Mention should be
made OF the calisthenics, conducted by
Mrs Stair, and participated in by attend
ing scholars. The drill was done with
precision and grace seldom seen any
where. In the future all such entertain
ment for such cause is sure to be sue
cessful, and the only thing we could
suggest is See that the roads are passa-
BILE. We must not overlook the fact that
the Yakima band was in attendance and
during intermissions rendered some OF
their beautiful selections.
The various streams in this vicinity
have been rising rapidly in the past few
days, and the hot sun and warm winds

communications with the Sunnyside
country will be cut of through probable
foods.
