Considerable interest was taken in the
hearing Of the motion for new trial for
Banker j. X. Edmiston, which was srgu-
ed before Judge Graves on Saturday.
The grounds taken by Attorney Snively,
in behalf Of his client, have previously
been indicated by The HERALD and were
set forth In mastery way. A large part
Of the day was consumed in the argu.
ments, pro and con. and upon adjourn
ing court in the afternoon Judge Graves
stated that he would take the matter
under advisement and render decision
at eight o'clock that evening. This 10
the first conviction il not the first case
brought under the present statute and
the judge was evidently worried by bis
feelings Of regret for Edmiston and the
knowledge that he would be forced to
deny the pplication--which he did, after
making clear and concise statement OF
his reasons.
The indictment charged Edmiston with
having received deposits after knowledge
Of the insolvent and failing condition Of
the bank, and it was the insufiiciency OF
the complaint upon which the main
question arose. The doubt in the courts
mind was as to whether Edmiston auth
orized the teller or bookkeeper to receive
such deposit. There was no doubt but
what he had full knowledge of the insol-
vency of the bank, and that it was run.
ming as usual. He had not protested
against the reception Of money and while
there was no testimony to show that he
was cognizant OF the acceptance Of the
particular deposit upon which the indict-
ment was found, the court held to his
guilt under the statute, and as to the
validity of the statute, it was not for him
to pass upon. The motion for new trial
was ovsrruled as was also a motion for
arrest Of judgment.
In imposing sentence OF two years inn
prisonment Judge Graves said he could
understand the difficulty under which
the defendant labored in receiving depos-
its after the bank became insolvent,
doing 80 in the belief that it was for the
best interests of the stockholders and the
depositors, and hoping that there would
be a turn in the tide whereby the finan-
ciaI crisis would be safely westhered, he
therefore imposed the minimum sentence.
Attorney Snively gave notice of appeal
and bonds were fixed and executed in
the sum Of $4,000, with Frank Sinclair
and Thomas Harvey as sureties.

Yak,m.,. Hep Yield Reduced.

The HERALD representatives have in
terviewed many hop farmers as well as
dealers during the past week and the con.
census of opinion is that there will not
be more than half crop Of hops in Yak.
ina county this year. Fourteen thou
sand bales was the highest estimate
made by any of those interviewed and
the general opinion seemed to be that the
yield would not exceed $4,000 bales. A
month or six weeks ago appearances indi-
Gated that there would be 10000 bales,
but the scarcity of money and discourage
ing market quotations have resulted in
lack Of culture and the consequent cur
tsilment Of the anticipated yield.
There has been some encouraging news
Of late, but as yet the markets have not
been effected. G. c. Carmichael has re-
ceived word from Oregon and Californis
Of slack and total abandonment OF cultl-
walton In many yards, and that des-
tructive worm has made its appearance
and Is eating everything down to the
bine. In England, too, the growers are
getting anxious for rains and at last re.
port there had been no relief and the
yards, especially in the lowlands, were
suffering severely from the drought.

Yakima Will Held u Fair.
Yakima county psoposes to rise super
ior to the state; and even il this great
commonwealth is too poverty-stricken to
supply funds necessary for giving cred
liable exhibition OF it's stock. horticul.
tural and mechanical interests, Yakima
does not propose that Washington shall
go without the benefits and entertain.
ment arising from such display-and
her citizens have decided to hold fair
despite the discouragements confronting.
This decision was reached at q recent
meeting in the Commercial club rooms,
when committee was appointed to make
the necessary arrangements for q mass
meeting to select an executive board and
transact such other business as was con-
sidered advisable. 1t is proposed to hold
the fair at the termination of the hop
picking season; when, in addition to
other attractions, three thousand Indians
with their dances, races, gaudy costumes,
songs and barbaric ceremonies will be
hereto draw from without q wide
breadth Of country crowds of people to
see sight with which comparatively few
are favored. The following is the call
issued for the meeting Saturday night
To the Citizens Of Yakima County:
The state fair commissioners have
kindly given the use of the grounds and
buildings for the purpose Of holding a
fair. We believe that it would be great
misfortune to Yakima county to let the
year 1895 pass without q fair. The eyes
of the people of the state are upon Yak
ina, and It remains for our citizens to
prove that the state fair was properly To-
Gated. We have more varied and better
products Of the farm, garden and orchard
than any locality in the United States.
We are as progressive and intelligent az
any locality. All that is necessary to in
sure successful agricultural fair is unit
ed, systematic effort. The times are
very hard and money is very scarce, but
no money is required, and there is all the
more reason in the depressed condition of
business why we should make q mighty
effort to show the people Of the state and
country that Yakima is still alive and
vigorous.
Shall we hold fair? Yes, by all
means! When was Yakima ever found
wantingP A successful fair will make
the state ring with the name Of Yakima.
All that is required is enthusiasm; that
every school district should have its fair
association and every family bring some
exhibits.
The Commercial club has inaugurated
the movement, but while the individual
members are pledged as good citizens to
assist in every way, it wishes to turn over
the entire control of the fair to the peo-
pie of the county. You are therefore re-
quested TO assemble in mass meeting at
the court house at O'Clock p. m. on
Saturday, June 30, to organize for tn 9
purpose OF holding fair during the Sec
ond week in October, 1895. Let every
one be present and show by his enthusi-
asm that he has the true Yakima spirit.
The mossbacks can stay at home. 1t is
your affair, and you can make it sue
cess or failure, as you please.

enough patriotism to last them for another
year.
