as they had intended, because they do
not wish to antagonize any one. They
did not feel they were competing with
the saloons when they started the bust :
ness, as they sold only for culinary pur-
poses and IN original packages. The
council will not give them an ordinance
covering the matter so they have discon-
tinued selling.

arrived in the city last week and have

According to the returns of County As
SCISSOR Carpenter the assessment of North
Yakima is 1921 200. This cuts down the
valuations about third from last year
but city councilmen estimate that the rate
will be raised from ten to fifteen mills
Just where the gain to taxpayers comes
in it is difficult to see, but then the voters
decreed that the city's special charter
should be abandoned and that incorpora-
ton under the general law for cities of the
third class should be substituted, and
here We are. The assessment question
was the principal argument advanced in
favor of the change.
Three Scotchmen tried to transform the
upstairs of the building over Spinning &
Co.'s office, on Yakima avenue, into a
slaughter house on Friday night last.
They we're all intoxicated, and were al
most knocking the sides of the building
out when the police were called for. Dep
uties Liggett and Craig intercepted two OF
the men as they were leaving the build
ing and then went upstairs to see what
damage had been done. One or two
heavy wooden chairs were found broken
into pieces and covered with blood, big
clasp knife lay upon the floor in a pool of
the same liquid, and near by what they
thought must be body, but which de-
veloped into man leastly full. No one
of the three would claim the knife, so the
entire gang was arrested on charge of
drunk and disorderly." One man gave
bill OF sale on horse and saddle as

two were unable to remit and are now in
Jail. Nobody was seriously hurt in the
orgy. although how they escaped is
mystery considering the looks of the fur

in the matter OF hop shipments to the
London market. Mr.. Carmichael says
that his house, Gaskain & Co., informs

hops are readily bought in England, al
though anything not prime is drug.
Mr.. Carmichael deprecates the rush to
sell on the part of growers during the
summer, saying that he is firmly impress
ed with the belief that stronger prices are
to prevail and that had owners "held on
for awhile material advance on the 61ac
&c rate would have been noted. All
Wish and German bulletins are quot
ing choice hops at 9c@l0c higher per cwt.
Indeed, it is rumored that some of the
local growers who fortunately refused ~

but instead shipped to England. may re-
