Local Talent In Ziilab.

The residents of Zillah and surround
ing country were given rare treat on
last Saturday night by the Zillah Comedy
company, in the production of one act
farce comedy, written by some of the
Shakespearian disciples, entitled Pop
ping the Question" The performance was
witnessed by the entire population OF the
town and the country adjacent for several
miles; farmers bringing their families in
wagons, and lovers their sweethearts upon
the hurricane deck of the proverbial cay
use. The entertainment was very highly
praised by all present, and even our own
Col. Walker, who is very competent
judge, declared it one of the best produc-
tons by home talent he ever attended
The parts were all so well taken that THE
HERALD's detached reporter avoided max
ing special mention except as to the solo
OF r. +. Walker, who is vocalist of ex-
ceptional talent, and whom the people of
North Yakima will be glad to hear should
the movement now in contemplation, for
visit to this city, be carried out. After
the performance the participants were
toasted at the Zillah hotel by Mr.. Eagan.
