UNREoUITTED NONSENSE.
Boyish Lover and a Motherly Matrol
Grievously Disappointed.

A Boyish Lover and a Motheriy Matron
Grievously Disappointed.
For two or three weeks interested OBJ
servers have been somewhat anxiouslv
awaiting the denouement OF an affair
which menaced rural society In this
vicinity with sensational developments
The woman in the difficulty, who has
passed the meridian Of life and whose in.
teresting family OF children indicates that
she is not ignorant of domestic RESPONSE
bilities, desires to marry a lad who is not
burdened with much greater age THAI
that required by the statutes to enable
him to vote. His parents very naturally
objected to this strange alliance--frst, be-
cause the disparity between their ages ia
too great and, second, for the reason that
one OF her former husbands was brother
of her present admirer. For time the
young man. who is well known in this
community, yielded to those protesta-
tons; but Cupid, the sly rascal, finally
overcame the proposed barrier, and the
two lovers came to town to invoke the
aid OF the law in the settlement OF their
embarrassment. First one minister and
then another refused to tie the nuptial
knot and the discounted couple went
home to devise new and more success
full plan OF procedure. The Young man
presently went to his brother, who is a
minister, for consolation and assistance,
but the wiser head directed him away,
saying he would quite as willingly offici-
ate over his bier as on such an occasion
as that proposed.
So the rather Notifying situation con-
tnues with gruesome monotony and the
love.sick swain is yet victim Of single
blessedness. Both parties TO the proposed
alliance have good standing in the COM
munity in which they live, but their
friends and neighbors cannot consistently
offer them either aid or sympathy 10 their
vain search for happy solution OF the
knotty legal problem that bars them
from the fancied realm of consummate
bliss.

ting Csntstn, Etc.

G. l.. Gano is obtaining some very sat
isfactory information concerning the cul-
ture and profit Of the sugar.beet. A few
such active spirits in the work will secure
for North Yakima the factory it desires.
The question is not so much as to whether
or not sugar-beet culture is mere profit
able than any other agricultural pursuit
as It is the encouragement OF diver
sified farming. There is no country on
the face of the earth in which one crop
or another never fails. and il the crop
that fails is the only one IN cultivation in
any given section, then the entire rom
munity fails. Agriculture is the basis,
ordinarily, of all development and pros
perity and its failure superinduces condi-
tons that tend to disturb the entire bust
ness community. To avoid such misfor-
tune intelligen, farmers everywhere are
encouraging diversified agriculture. There
may be seasons here when hops or fruit
return more satisfactory profit than
sugar-beets, but, since there is such
small difference in general results on an
average for a period of gears between the
profits OF these crops, no sensible investi-
gator will for moment doubt the pro-
priety Of adding sugar-beet culture to our
list OF products in Yakima county.

Whist Clubs Entertained.

Mrs. 4. r. Hamiltons splendid enter
tainment of the three local whist clubs at
the Yakima club parlors last Friday
evening was the very recherche affair of
the season. The social features OF the
entertainment predominated until lun-

and mutual exchange of good cheer.
After luncheon an interesting contest be-

WINGED that 1t was the most successful |

New York, who handled several hundred
carloads of Pacific coast fruits last season !;
also Mr.. q. w. Barnett OF Barnett Broth

fruit commission merchants of st. Paul.
Minneapolis and Omaha are also expect
ed. These gentlemen will all favor the
fruit growers with some valuable infor-

growing and shipping.

OF fruits such as winter apples, dried
prunes and anything on hand that is
choice. be brought to the convention from
the different orchards Of the northwest by
those who attend.

writes that it is looking to the west for

To Irrigate 1000 Acres.

For the past week the settlers in the
vicinity of Rocky Ford, about seven miles
from Prosser, have had surveyors at work
with view OF utilizing the fall at that
point to irrigate land. The report of the
surveyors is favorable. BY raising the
water 20 feet il is estimated that over 900
acres Of magnificent land can be rend-
cred fertile and productive.
The settlers propose to form an irriga-
ton district, float bonds and control the
water supply themselves, and are now in
correspondence with eastern firms for
machinery to transmit power from Ro ky
Ford to Mabton, distance of four miles,
raise the water at that point and thereby
reclaim according to estimate from 5000
to 1000 acres. By so doing they will
overcome about IA feet and almost double
the acreage under the ditch. -Prosser

TO EVERY FRUIT GROWER.
An Open Letter From President Wilcox
In "The Ranch"
NORTH YAKIMA, JAN, 80, 49,


NORTH YAKIMA, JAN, 80, 1894.
Dear Sir An association, known as
the Yakima County Horticultural Society,
has been organized for the good OF fruit
growers who may avail themselves Of its
benefits. Already many and most of the
largest growers of the county. have be-
come members, and the earnestness with
which they have taken hold Of the pro-
ject is abundant proof Of its growing
success.
That the work OF the organization may
accomplish the greatest good, 1t is desir-
able that every grower in the county
should become an active member. You
cannot afford to remain outside, nor miss
the information to be gained at its meet
ings.
While the horticultural interests OF the
state have been brought to that stage
where we feel assured of their success, we
cannot rest our oars. 1t is going to be a
question of 1.-THE survival OF the fttest,"
TO certain extent. and will require earn
est, persistent and aggressive work OH the
part of the grower.
There are two very important matters
connected with the industry that will re-
quire the complete cooperation of every
interested person. Cooperation, first,
for the complete eradication of the vari-
GUS fruit pests that are coming upon us
in great numbers. We are in this "our
brothers keeper" to the extent that We
must not allow our orchards TO become
breeding grounds from which hordes Of
insects will go out to work desolation and
ruin upon our neighbors; neither wiH we
allow our trees TO be overrun by the neg
ligence or want OF care on the part OF our
neighbors.
In the second place, We need corpora
ton and aid in the marketing OF our pro-
ducts. Competition is rife, and the best
way to combat it Is by the organization
of shippers union Of some sort, whose
aim will be to see that each member gets
out of his produce all there is in it.
We urge you, therefore, to come to our
next meeting, to be held at the Yakima
club rooms, on Saturday, February 10, at
2 p. M, aud join our organization that
we may be of come benefit to each other.
Examine and report the condition Of your
orchard, aHd see that your neighbor does
likewise, so that we may lend helping
hand If occasion requires.
G. p. Wilcox, Prest.
G. G. MITCHELL. Sec'y.

scientific men from the agricultural col

the aid possible. A special beet-sugar

week that will help the cause with infor-

Of the industry. and sugar beet culture is
