PERSONAL, POLITICAL AND OTHERWISE
A Couple Of Coiunss OF spicy Par.
aGraphs About People We All
Know and the Happenings in
the city and Country.

Born, June 70. to Mr.. and Mrs. w. d.
Beck, daughter: also, on June %, to
Mr.. and Mrs. William Wiley, a son.
l.. T. Renfro, of Corvallis, Ore, is in
the city for the second time, having de-
cided to purchase some property and
make home on the Mckee.
The report that the captain OF the local
corps Of the Salvation army was about to
be married was pronounced untrue at the
barracks-wh where the query as to its
authenticity created considerable amuse
ment.
| The report that some one exploded 0
fire-cracker on one Of the guarded bridges
west Of the city, and that the deputies
tried to save themselves by tumblinp
into the stream, is pronounced cam
paign canard.
The retiring council canvassed the
v otes cast at the last election Thursday
night. With the exception Of a small
difference in majorities the result was as
previously announced. Outside OF Coun.
Gilman Walton, who was on both tickets,
James r. Coe, for clerk, received 49,
majority-the highest, and DR.. p. Frank
8 majority, the lowest given.
Friday the firm OF Pulley & Higgins,
merchants, who are moving here from Bu-
coda, purchased the grocery stock of G. G.
Carpenter, and an inventory Of the goods is
now being taken. Messrs. Pulley &,Hug-
gins had the Hewlett building rented as
! protective measure, hut they were de-
sirous Of a more central location, which
they obtained by buying out the stock
of goods and lease Of Mr.. Carpenter, who
is arranging to establish a general store
at Kiona.
Speaking Of progress in the line OF early
harvests, the hop yard isn't the only in
dustry which claims recognition. James
M. Gilbert and Fred BROKER, both OF the
Wide Hollow, cut their second crop Of al
falfa several days before July Is, the usual
period for first cuttings of hay in many
localities. Undoubtedly any number Of
Yakima ranchers could make an equal
showing, but these have been made
known to THE HERALD, and these we can
vouch for.
Mr.. G. d. Fleming, Of the firm of Burke
& Fleming, the big Sunnyside hop grow
ers, was displaying some beautiful speci-
mems of that valuable product July Is.
He had small shoe box full of strobiles
from vines in his yards, and all Of them
we're remarkably developed for period
so early in the season. Some OF them
were three.fourths Of an inch 10 diameter,
and all were an inch long. Mr.. Fleming
wants to hear from other sections Of the
county, and states that he doesn't believe
his samples can be beaten.
Here's peculiar state Of affairs: A
local real estate firm has received the sum
OF $4,000 from an eastern capitalist to
loan upon Yakima inside city property,
business houses, etc., at 10 per cent. !;
and not resident of the whole city has
made application for dollar. Either the
the strike has paralyzed our thinking fac
ulties, or We are millionaires and finan.
ciers not needing assistance. By the way,
the letter containing the offer to make the
loans stated that the writer had heard a
great deal of Yakima, and considered it a
more than safe place in which to invest
his money.
Alexander Reid, the individual arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Dilley at Wenatchee
last week for stealing the horses Of Prof
Lawrence and Albert Hall and saddle
belonging to AL Whitson is incarcerated
in the county Jail, having been brought
down from Ellensburgh by Sheriff Sim.
mons Saturday. Officer Dilley came in
at II O'Clock Thursday night, bringing the
horses and saddle. File reported it very
hard trip. Reid claims to have bought
the stolen property on the Wenas, but he
is. an old offender and was one of the
number arrested last summer for selling
liquor to Indians.
Rev. w. Fl. Cornett, formerly of this
place, but now pastor OF Emmanuel
church, Tacoma, and Miss Roberta For
rest were married on Thursday evening
at the residence OF Representative and
Mrs. q. W. Temple. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. DR.. A. T. Thomp.
son, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church Of Tacoma, in the presence Of but
dozen friends and relatives. They were
J. Elmer West, the brides cousin; J..
Grier Long, Miss Katherine Scott. Judge
and Mrs. r. B. Blake, Mr.. and Mrs
Temple and Howard Fries Of Tacoma
Mr.. aud Mrs. Cornett will return home
by way of Victoria. The house was
decorated with great numbers of roses,
sent by admiring Taeoms friends.-spo-

The towns of Pasco and Sprague have
been acting badly during the strike, and
there is something more than rumor
that they will lose the shops and division
headquarters in consequence. A we'll
