item, from Port Townsend, reads 40 fol-
lows: "The Port Townsend Herald,
managed by Messrs. Saterlee, Potter &
Wilcox, is a corpse. The announcement
was made editorially to-day. It 10 under
stood that the plant will be removed to
North Yakima, where . daily will be
established. The name of the Herald
was originally the Quilcene Queen, then
it was moved to Port Townsend year
ago and called the Democrat, and shortly
after election il was named the Herald.
Sa.erlee and Potter are republicans and
Mr.. Wilcox belongs to the democratic
party" This is the paper which, through
Nh. Potter, announced its determination
to locate here some two months since,
and tried to secure support from the Com.
mercial club, but failed. The old pro-
verb, "There's always room for one
more" seems TO be the hope upon which
Messrs. Saterlee, Potter 4 Wilcox are
basing their removal. That supposition
is the only tenable one.
Klickitat Agriculturalist: Messrs. Emil
Schanno and Judge Liebe, Of The Dalles,
returned from an overland trip to the
Yakima country last week. They drove
from The Dalles and enjoyed the trip
heartily. There are two roads leading
from Goldendale to Yakima, one Of which
10 in good condition, but the other poorly
kept. The gentlemen were fortunate
enough to choose the latter road, which
alleged the pleasure Of their trip some
what. The land of Yakima they de-
scribe in glowing terms and remark upon
the wonderful transformation the coun-
try has undergone in the last few years.
Marshal Lille states that the cause for
the annoyingly rough condition of the
avenue may be found in the fact that too
much water is distributed by the street
sprinkler. Jerry Wheeler, who operates
that machine, implies that merchants
"kick" il he does not give the streets an
abundance of water. And the question
arises, is the avenue to remain drive
way of bumps and ruts, or will the mer-
chants be satisfied with only so much of
the water as will lay the dust?
"The Wenatchee fruit beats anything l
ever saw before in the fruit line." said S.
| W. Maxey in the Wenatcbee Adpance.
Sure thing. Had Maxey attended to his
business and paid some decent attention
to Yakima's interests he might not have
made such rank confession of ignorance
as to what good fruit is.
| Kennewick watermelons have COM
menced to ripen. N. S. Potter had one
this week which weighed twenty pounds.
Charles Stump claims to have had the
first ripe melon of the season. The
melon crop will be much larger this year
than last; they are Of extra fine quality.
"Canst thou minister to mind dis.
eased?" asks Macbeth. Certainly, my
lord the conditions of the mind depend
largely, if not solely, on the condition Of
the stomach, liver, and bowels, for all of
which complaints Ayers Pills are "the
sovereignest thing on EARTH"
Miss Franc Charlton, of Ellensburg,
has been employed to teach the fall and
winter school in one Of the country dis
tricts OF this county. Miss Charlton
taught the same school last fall and gave
such excellent satisfaction that as re-
suit she is re-employed.
Ellensburg Register: Mr.. and Mrs. j.
Purdin we're in the city from Yakima
this week the guests of their son, r. L.
Purdin. They have just returned from
an extended trip through the northern
part of Oregon, but prefer this county to
that.
II. B. Scudder and the Misses Scudder,
W. B. Dudley and George Ker and niece
left on Tuesday morning for the Trout
lake district, Klickitat county, for an
outing of several weeks. MIR. and Mrs.

for the immediate erection of an exhibit
ton hall on the grounds, 4Oxl60 feet in
dimensions. with two wings each 40x50
feet in size. The work will be completed
before the county fair begins.
Yakima farmers, who received through
The HERALD thousands OF packages Of
seeds last spring, will not be 80 favored
again. Secretary Morton has discontinu-
ed the issuance of the packages, because
they cost 5000, 900 annually.
