In 1888 Henry W. Creason settled at
Prosser, and with scanty means, but
willing hands went vigorously TO
work to build home and provide sup
port for his family. This spring the
flames swept away his house, together
with all OF his furniture and clothing. but
undaunted he brsvely keeps on fighting
the battle of life. This Is the man the
democrats have nominated for county
clerk. They have not thus bonored him
because OF his misiortunes, but on &C.
count of his good character, ability and
past services rendered the public. Mr..
Creason has ofiiciated as county commits
sioDer for three years, one year by APP
pointment and two by election; and in
1892 he headed his party ticket for the
same Office, being defeated hy only few
votes. While Mr.. Creason was commits.
sioner the affairs of the county were adj
ministered with more ability and greater
economy than they have since and when
he and Mr.. Stephenson left the Office
warrants we're at par aud the estimates OF
the republican clerk of the board showed
balance OF $25 900 on hand with which
TO place the current expenses OF the coun-
ty on cash basis. The evil days which
have fallen on US since is one OF the rea
sons why men of the character and exec
utive talent of Mr. Creason are being re
called and asked to again take office Mr..
Creason has friends throughout the coun.
ty Ia all parties who admire and respect
him; and there is little donbt bat the
counting Of the ballots on the 9Th Of No
yember will show that he has been
elected to Gil the office OF county clerk.

No nomination has been made by the
democrats of Yakima which should ap-
peal to the voters more strongly than
that of Henry H. Allen for sheriff.
Mr.. Allen came TO this county in the
"60s," and by hard work he attained a
competence which he hoped would be
sufficient for the balance of his DAYS but
the storms of winter killed his cattle, and
business complications IN which he was
in no way to blame swept away much Of
the remainder OF his fortune-and now
he finds that he must still pursue an act
i've life. Henry Allen is an honest man.
He has never Knowingly wronged anyone
out OF dollar, and II elected to the office
OF sheriff OF Yakima county he will per-
form his duties to the best interests OF
the county and in manner that will re-
fleet credit on himself and give satisfac-
tion to his constituents He has never
before been an applicant for county of
fee, although at the time Yakima county
was divided be was appointed a commits
sioner to ill vacancy; and it was during
bis term OF office that the bridge across
the river at Union Gap was built, he
heading q public subscription list with
$3.50 for its construction. Those who
know Mr.. Allen and have the vel
fare OF the county at heart will not hesitate
how to vote in the coming election. Hi
should be elected sheriff by an over
whelming majority.

THE REDUCTION OF PRICES.

The democratic party promised the peo-
pie that it would pass such tariff legisls-
ton as would relieve them from the op.
preston of McKinleysm. Already they
are experiencing the fulfillment OF that
promise. Scarcely had the new tariff
bill been passed before there was a mark
ing down OF goods, preparatory to gem
eral reduction ia the necessaries of life.
This is but the beginning OF new era
OF cheap living. Its advent is observable
at every store counter in the land. 1t is
heraded by the advertisements of mer-
chants announcing lower schedule Of
prices. Among the first to publish the
fact that he is selling goods at reduced
rate on account OF the new tariff is Mr..
John Wanamaker, the great republican
Philadelphia merchant, who is conform
ing his prices to the new order OF things
which the democratic tariff will enforce
in the interest of purchasers and con-
sumers.
When Mckinley increased the tariff
duties four years ago prices at Wanama.
ker's Immediately responded with an up
ward tendency. shopping women and
other customers at the establishment were
told that the increased cost of their pur-
chases was in consequence OF the higher
tariff, and they were told the same at
every other store. 1t is well remem bered
what an effect this had upon the female
mind, even the result OF the following
election being attributed to their exasper-
alton. After the recent reduction Of tariff
duties there is much significance in the
announcement OF Mr.. Wanamaker and
other store keepers that the prices Of
goods must come down rs consequence.

Tho L.nmn Rook of Asia.

On the shores of Lake Rangkul. in
the Cashgar mountains. in Central
Asia, stands the famous Lamp Rock
of Asia" which is so called from a
cave in its side from which con-
slant stream OF pale. greenish light
is emitted. Ney Elias, the English
sdventurer, who passed it in 1885.
thinks it possible that the light is
due to some phosphorescent mineral
in the sides of the cavern near it's
opening. The natives of that section
have never attempted to investigate
the matter, each seeming content
with the story told by his father,
which is this: 1.-The cave Is the
dwelling place of a demon. who
guards vast treasures stored there,
and the light is from a diamond
worn in band around his forehead. :"

Flower Culture for Essences.

The cultivation of perfume flowers
is the very refinement of agricultural
industry, the jewelry of horticulture,
the ideal occupation among all the
occupations of the soil. At Los Gatos
a perfume flower farm is in successful
operation, and-all honor to the sex
is conducted by a woman. At Santa
Ana ten acres of land have recently
been purchased for like use. That
the industry will become one of i'm
portance can hardly be questioned by
any one who has seen the profuse
bloom here throughout the year. 1t
is also stated, but upon how good
authority have not yet been able to
determine; that the roses grown upon
this coast contain 20 per cent. more of
volatile essence than those of the far
famed perfume flower district of
France. Allied to this are such indus
tries as specialties in flower and bulb
culture. At Santa Ana found q gen.
tleman engaged in growing tuberous-
rooted begonias, combining his entire
attention to this one thing. Although
a comparatively new undertaking, he
has now about 10000 plants. His
"farm" comprises about half an acre,
and is wholly enclosed and covered
with lath, giving it the appearance of
big chicken coop. His entire prod
uct of bulbs is disposed of without
trouble to the large eastern seedsmen
and florists; and while I did not go
into financial details, there was much
collateral evidence to show that the
enterprise was remunerative, hide
pendent.
