with a commission as postmaster, claim
ing that his strength was with the Breck-
enridges. but the probabilities are that no
appointment will be made without local
endorsement, and the endo. sement of the
state political powers. +. ID. Eshelman
has tbs chairman and secretary of the
/ county committee aud also Of the state.
hut he has no strong hope OF appoint
ment, as Bernard Wilkinson, his oppO-
nent, is a connection by marriage OF
Hugh Wallace, and he believes Mr.. Wal
lace has absolute say on postal appoint
ments and is inclined to favor the claims
OF Mr.. Wilkinson.
Speculation is still active regarding the
new city officers to be appointed by the
council. II Is claimed that F. NJ. Spain
has assurances that he will be made
treasurer, while the fight between Harry
Coonse and A. p. Fulkerson for the clerk
ship is so sharp and closely drawn that
dark horse may step in and carry off
the prize. 1t is now pretty well conceded
that J. c. Liggett will be the next mar
shal, and the report of his probable APP
pointment meets with general approval.
The mayor and all the members of the
new council, excepting Captain Kings
bury, have qualified, and as the ten days
have elapsed in which the charter pro-
| vides that the newly elected councilmen
shall qualify, the probability is that the
captain is out. The new board will have
its initial meeting next Monday evening.
]. II. Bradford, Jr., returned from Ia
coma Wednesday, where he has been
spending several weeks. He reports his
hops looking well and the vines two feet
above the poles. The hops, by the way.
are on this side OF the mountains, but on
! the other side he has been raising some
| thing else-he claims that it was the
peoples ideas of the value of Yakima as
an abiding place and as ne is very
truthful young man this is probably cor
rect.
M. V. b. Stacy arrived from Seattle on
Saturday last and is looking over the
country with view to future operations.
Mr.. Stacy is one of the most active aud
successful promoters of development en-
terprises in the country, and Yakima is
fortunate in having him enlisted in her
behalf. When Mr.. Stacy has perfected
his plans the citizens can confidently ex
pect to see the dirt fly in lively manner
The wooden mill has been definitely
located at Yakima City and work was
commenced on the building this morn
ing. A property and money bonus, est-
mated at $4,000, was secured by the mill
| company in consideration of choosing
Yakima City for the location. The cit-
zens subscribed literally of their means,
the leading donor being 7. T. Gervais,
who is down for 81 900.
The deadly bicycle appears to be get
| ting in its work. Elgin Baxter is walk
| ing around on a crutch, the result Of a
knee cut; some wheelman fell over on
Mrs. w. w. Atherton's baby boy, knock
ing ont one of his eight priced teeth; and
F. NJ. Spain has lost his moustache, the
| supposition being that it is due to this
destroying craze.
Samuel Vinson will be the deputy U.
S. marshal under Marshal Drake for east
ern Washington. The salary is said to
be. $500 per year, with fees, commits
sions and travelling expenses. The APP
pointment, If not already made, will be
in few days, according to report that is
considered thoroughly reliable.

vantage to consult Messrs Kremer. See
