An agricultural department bulletin
issued some time ago reveals the aston
ishing facts that Washington excels all
other states In the Union in the yield yer
acre in potatoes, oats and barley and ex-
cells all other ststeo east Of Montana, Col
orado and Idaho in the yield per acre in
wheat, in ten-year averages. This lie OF
vast interest locally in that Yakima is the
hub around which turns this great wheel
of commercial Importance. We bring up
this potato average, and have much to do
with the wheat feature. kelso Bros.
alone will harvest at Kennewick this year
AZ, 600 bushels, and they estimate the
lower county crop at 10000 bushels.
That's pretty good for a county where but
little wheat, comparatively speaking, is
grown.
In the Greene Mercantile company win
dows there is a great display of fruit.
Some it came from yards where there is
no orchard, the trees having been planted
merely for shade. There are six pears
from such tree on f. NJ Spain's prem
Uses, and the six tip the scales at ~
pounds. There are 100 apples, the aver
age weight of which is one pound, and
the heaviest Of which weighs 10 ounces.
There are also some fine nectarines, some
| thing rather unusual for Yakima county.
The fruit came from yards owned by j..
| II. Hubbard, A. b. Fender, j. l.. Cham
berlain, j. Remley and s. o. Morford.
The Northern Pacific's earnings for the
month OF August are surprisingly good,
showing, as they do, an increase in gross
of no less than $l77 AGO, which is nearly
double the amount predicted when the
estimated increase OF 100000 was re-
garded as extremely liberal. The most
Of the increase was for the last week OF
the month, and the increase for the first
week of September is $4,000 over the
corresponding week in 1898.
Thomas Paerne, well-known Indian
who has been visiting reservations in va
rious parts of the state, says that repre-
sentatives of three tribes will give exhi'
billions OF their dances, religious cere'
monies, etc., at the barbecue beginning
on Oct. l. This will be we'll worth see
ing, as it may be something out of the
ordinary.
Marshal Lyons has been doing good
work during the week. He has had First
street cleaned and has furnished city prs
oners for work on the fair grounds. DOE.
ems have been arrested, and those who
refused to work were given taste oil
bread and water, and very slight taste
at that, while many worthless characters
were incontinently fred out OF town.
Secretary John Reed, of the state fair
was the cynosure OF all eyes this week
dividing the attention with Col. james
Hamilton Lewis. He is the possessor o.
new and well-fitting suit of clothes, anC
on Monday his friends presented hin
with silk hat that shone like the ray
of the midday sun.

Mr.. Peter Flynn Oliver the popular

that the Afro-American population
