the Yakima station for multiplicity Of
reasons; but for none more potent than
that Yakima is the banner hop county Of
the state in the cultivation Of hops. In
the past year exactly 1857 1891 pounds Of
hops have been shipped from the North
Yakima depot alone-and there are four
or five other shipping points in the coun.
ty OF that amount ,667 lbs have been
shipped during the present month of Oc-
tobsr, and new consignments are coming
IN daily-while many bales are being
he'd for higher prices. The Northern Pa
cific has received as transportation rates
on this output the sun OF sl2,5l7. SO. OF
which $40, 1856 was the October pay
ment. Had the hop commanded its US
uil price OF l5c OF more, this city would
have received for her years output some
thing over sl50,000. While the receipts
of the county would be about $450, 900.
AS it is, North Yakima probably got
about $4,000, and that isn't at all bad
for partial shipment from one out Of
the six stations in the county.
