are now poaching upon and who are
groaning under the burden.
The Seat lie Press Times must think that
the people OF North Yakima have nothing
else to do but dig potatoes, cut alfalfa and
attend to kindred work, for, as rule,
when any OF our business men visit Seat

nent farmers" leading grangers' and
"ranchers." II. C. Humphrey was in
that city on Sunday long enough to be
sized up by the Press. Times as rancher.
Can 1t be possible that Mr.. Humphrey 10
looking for political honors and had deity
sprinkled his coat with springs OF alfalfa
and planted hayseed in his hair?
