turned to Yakima about month ago ia
hopes OF recovering her health after q
severe attack OF Ia grippe, which had
caused her friends and relatives anxious
forebodings. The immediate cause Of her
death was heartfailure, q result Of the
weakened condition in which her illness
had left her. The deceased was In her
10th year and had many friends here and
on the sound whom she had attracted to
her by brightness Of intellect, pleasing dis
position and many other admirable
qualities. The funeral was held at the

J. p. Marks, Of the Ahtanum, was in
the city Wednesday and said 10 HERALD
representative that it was no wonder that
the San Jose scale was getting foothold
in this country, as he had visited the
stores OF several of the merchants and in
every box OF oranges and lemons exam
ined he had found this orchard destroying
pest. "When take oranges or lemons
home," said Mr.. Marks, II burn the
paper bag containing them and also burn
the peal. But everyone is not so careful
and the result has been the ruin OF sew
eral orchards" This is a proper subject
for the Commercial club to act upon, and
vigorous appeal should be made to the
state board Of horticulture to see that no
infected fruit is permitted to be brought
into the state.
