was watch night--wstching for the old
year to go and the new to come--and the
glory candidates were unusually risky.

ing the new year, for they are doing an
excellent work and accomplishing much

Where has the money gone? That is
what is puzzling street corner financiers
just at present. A large amount of money
was expended here for the harvesting of
the crop, which was returned when said
crop was sold; G. NJ. Mckinney has
loaned 100000 in the past few months.
not over half OF which has been shipped
out to cover old indebtedness and the
Yakima Valley Canal company has ex-
pended 100000 in four months, of which
amount all was distributed here except
about $40 900, which was paid for lum-
Der. This is considerable money to put
in circulation in a short time, and the
query as to its present whereabouts seems
almos. unanswerable.

Mr.. Cyrus Walker has advices from the
sound to the effect that foot of snow
has fallen there in the last couple of days.
Those who prophesied an open winter are
now trifle backward about talking OF
the weather; but those who asserted that
the heavy fall OF acorns, the double husks
on the Indian corn, and the thick coat
OF down on the breast of the goose fore
told hard winter, are making the most
of this snow and asserting that there will
be sleighing for six weeks or more.
The notorious Jesse White was arrested
in his shack on Wednesday, along with
two drunken and disreputable squaws. A
row in which the clothes were torn from
an old, ugly and humpbacked klootch-
man was the cause OF police interference.

kind are driven from the city. They are
a source of public expense as well as

artistically that one is puzzled at first
sight to see how it is done.
