The Ellensburg Capital thinks the Yak.
ina papers did not notice the Kittitas
county display at the State Fair sufiic-
emily. THE HERALD spoke of that
county's minerals particularly. II the
local papers had specifically noted every
display from all sections, at the length
seemingly desired by the Capital, ~
page edition would have been required.
As the Capital is 4page "plate" out
side. it will readily grasp the idea herein
conveyed.
The Vancouver Register, a whistling
wind-bag of populism, says that "as was
to be expected, the state fair was rot
brilliant success that so far as elbow
ing in big sum of state money!" it was,
but not otherwise. True, it was not ex-
pected that the fair would accomplish
much in its first year, and that year 1894;
hut it will accomplish nothing in succeed.
ing years if idiots howl it down and talk
Of its abilities for "blowing in state
money" That a populst paper, repre-
sentative of party alleging sympathy
with farmers, should be one of the first
to belittle an institution originated and
designed primarily for that class almost
exclusively, shows remarkable degree
Of inconsistency to say the least.
They are telling good stony on local

company with Joseph Baxter, he watched
the Indians at the barbecue last week
Some of the meat was anything but fresh
and was distinctively aromatic. A squaw
standing near the above named gentle
men plaintively remarked: "Hiyu hum"
as she pointed to the piles of defunct DO
vine. On the following day our real es-
tate man saw another squaw on Yakima
avenue, and remembered having noticed
her at the barbecue, making faces at the
meat. So, thinking to show his friendli-
ness for his red brothers and sisters and
at the same time air his chinook, he re-
marked, Meat mika hiyu hum" and
was surprised when the squaw chased
him half block with hastily picked
up rock. The trouble arose from his lack
of knowledge of chinook. ''Nika,"
means a." whereas he thought "mika"
did; it means you" He forgot TO use
'tum-tum, meaning in that case think"
Had he said "nika tum-tum" instead OF
"mika" without the "tum-tum," and
had added chinook phrase for meat or
other edible "muck-a-muck, he would
have been all right. But the squaw
didn't understand the English "meat."
So when he said Meat mika hiyu hum
she only caught the significance OF the
last three words. They mean, "You smell
pretty bad" And still he wonders why
she got mad.
Certain grasping and would-be fruit
growers OF this valley are seemingly en-
deavoring to do all in their power to in
jure the fair name which has been con-
ferred upon Yakima as a fruit country.
In their greed for present gain they utter
ly overlooked future accountability, and
they are laying up anything but treas
ures in heaven" A visit to the depot
anv morning will convince home-loving
Yakiman of the truth of this statement.
