Druggist W. II. Chapman and Citizen T
7. Msher went TO the Toppenish country
this week to kill ducks. They had az
interesting time and bsgged one duck
two coyotes and a skunk. Tommy
haher protests that they didn't bag the
lsst-named bird, though, the reason for
their failure so to do being obvious, bu,
he insists that he earned the greatest
number OF points made on the trip, max
ing the count on eight ducks-four that
he didn't get, two that he lost and two
that he brought home with him. Ger
tainly that makes eight. Major Wills
and Capt. Chapman invaded the coyote
rendezvous, while the skunk for time
lay between Judge Brinker and Hon.
Sam Vinson; but these redoubtable nim-
rods conceded that the spiteful little cres-
lures defense was conclusive and there
fore ample, and their attitude toward it
for a brief spell was lets picturesque than
earnest. They all had nice time, to be
sure.

wake that he is thoroughbred scoundrel
Of very contemplate class. He came
to this city on Friday last, intending to
leave for another state. Mr.. Daniels
son Bud accompanied him to the city,

Guiding favor. Mr.. Daniels boys have
been working for w. N. Granger on the
Sunnyside ditch. Their employer gave
them time-che to the amount Of SOS.
Cobb induced the boy to endorse this
paper with his fathers signature. On
these checks and shotgun valued at
$l25 Cobb obtained $50. He also hypoth-
ecated $3.50 more OF time-checks belong
ing to Mr.. Daniel. He left on Monday
night for the east. The aid OF the tele-
graph will probably be invoked to enable
Mr.. Daniel to o7ertake the levanting

The mayor OF The Dalles, Oregon,
tes to Lawyer John A. Brown, Of this

Jaquerson and gife. formerly of this
place, and concerning whose recent esca-
pade THE HERALD has informed its
readers,) for note alleged to have been
given by party here to the signatory Of
the order. The mayor Tants the note as
security for $ll.50 which he generously
gave to Jaquerson and wife who stranded
in The Dalles on their way to Pendleton.
They had no money and could get no
work. But it transpires that no such
note was eyer given by the person in
question, and the kind-hearted official of
The Dalles is probably out $ll 80 given to
Jaquerson on a false claim. 1t may
transpire that Frenchy will learn that the
business Of obtaining money by false pre-
tense is not always attended with pleas
ing results.
Speaking of the matter Of balng hops,
recently, Z. NJ. Collins, the well-known
hop expert, said to Press Times reporter {:
THE quality of the Puget Sound hop out
put this year is very fine, but many Of the
growers are spelling the sale OF their hops
by poor baling. During the past week
have visited White river, Elkton and
numerous sections and found some grow
ers running the sale Of their fine hops by
breaking them all up in the old-fashioned
process Of battling. They have old.fash-
Toned hand presses and shovel the hops
into the press, where two men are busy
tramping them down with their feet.
This tramping process pulverizes the
large hops ana spoils the sale OF the hops.
l have some samples here Of the incest
hops ever grown in this country, but they
are pulverized to powder by this tramp
ing process in baling"
N. H. Lille, of Toppenish, returned on
Tuesday from his second visit to the east
this year. The greater part of his last
visit was devoted to st. Louis where he
attended the great races with good
stable of "goers." "Bangum, the little
horse that was raised by John S. Splawn
in this county, has proved a world
beaten" said Mr.. Lille. "He has won
forty races SO far, more races than were
ever won by any other horse in the
United States. His race was half. mile
or five-eighths, in which contest he never
had permanent equal. But he has
passed his palmiest days of victory. He
is now nearly ten years old and will not
again add laurel to his past achieve

his last record. But Bangum was a horse
Of which Yakima county may justly be
proud"
