chaos and green bugs are TO reign SUI
preme in the Yakima hop fields from
this time forward. About three yards in
the Mckee were partly affected by lice
this season, rs we're one or two ia Parker
Bottom. And that is the sun total. As
for their coming 10 stay, will the prophet
OF the Citizen kindly enlarge little, or
favor us with proof Of his proves in psy-
chic lines. Did he ever bring the world
to an end at given dates, or ape Professor
Fslb in foretod evil for ports other than
New York? Come off, Mr.. Citizen.
What do You know about it, anyway?
The owners Of these acres in the Mckee
and the Sunnyside say that the insects
came solely because there had been too
much irrigating and consequently too
much moisture. Ii will not happen
again, and it is safe to assume, infer
entially, that the lice are not "in Yakima
TO stay" The Citizen further remarks
that "the Puyallup hops this year are
greatly superior to those raised in the
Yakima districts in freedom from mould,
in richness, flavor, color, springiness aud
in every point by which = sample is
Judged" To answer this the testimony
of Hon. A. G. Campbell, well known in
Puyallup as well as Yakima, is very per
tinent. Said Mr.. Campbell I'm many
respects the Yakima hops for the year
1894 are the finest ever saw in my life"
And Mr.. CAMPBELL is one OF the oldest
growers in Washington.
Certificates OF indie BITE dness have been
issued by the State Fair commission to
the various firms and individuals owed
by the commission. President Parker
assures THE HERALD that these certifi-
Gates will be redeemed with any money
obtainable from the state in the form OF
an appropriation this winter; and that
they should, consequently, be readily
taken for goods or Indebtedness by our
local merchants. The certificates repre-
sent the labor Of many men who are I'M
able to do without the money represented
by the pieces OF paper with which the
state redeemed tfor the presently it's
promises made when the men were en-
ployed primarily. 1t would seem that
these certificates were equally as good as
some of the unsecured promises" taken
by our merchants in exchange for goods,
and that therefore the laboring men who
hold them might be able to dispose Of
them at reasonable discount II the
legislature grants an appropriation they
will be paid, and every Yakima merchant
hopes and believes the legislature will
give us at least 500 900.
The nw14 OF the sw14 OF sec. 80, tip. Is,
r Is, situated some 4 miles from North
Yakima and on the Antanum, has been
decided to Yakima county by George w.
Cary, and will be used as poor farm
sealed bids for Poor House" having
been advertised for. This is probably the
wisest step taken by the present board of
county commissioners. Many hundreds
of dollars will thus be saved the county
annually, and some good, level-headed
farmer will be given position from year
to year as a manager of the institution.
1t is safe to predict, as first premise,
that the county can award the control OF
the poor farm to responsible bidder for
less than one-half what it now pays;
and the land will continually increase in
value rs the years 20 by If the right kind
of labor and care be given it, As before
said, this is move 10 the right direction
Mr.. w. II. James, who has been editor
and manager OF the Yakima Republic for
some months past, will sever his connec-
ton with that paper on the LIST of No
vember and take charge of the Prosser
american in which he has bought an in.
terest. Mr.. Jane, is a very clever wri-
ter, thoroughly understands newspaper
work in all of its details and will I'M
doubtedly make success OF the Ameri.
can. George N. Tuesley will succeed Mr..
James in the management of the Republic
and will probably have the assistance of
Col. Hewlett IN editorial work.
Mr.. G. NJ. Mckinney on Saturday last
loaned to Miss Steele, the representative
OF the White Shield Home, at Tacoma,
and who is in Yakima on business, his
horse and buggy. While the animal was
tied near the Columbia school building
somebody stole the harness from his
back and left him standing unhitched.
He walked home; and Mr.. Mckinney
says that the lady did, also. There is no
clue to the thief, nor has the harness been
returned.
Colonel Whyte aud wife, OF Tacoma,
have been visitors in Yakima for week
or more. This week the colonel perfected
arrangements with the Commercial club
of this city, by which he is to be fur
nished with 80 views suitable for steriop-
ticon work ,..and representing various de-
grees of farming progress in this county.
The colonel is to deliver lectures through
the east, and these views are TO be used
in an advertising way.
II. X. Owens returned from Seattle
Wednesday and reports that one of the
members OF the syndicate proposing to
build the high line ditch on the Mckee,
left for Chicago on the preceding day to
arrange for money to carry on the work
And still they keep the auditor busy
This week the following licenses to wed
