The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1895-05-23

rakima Tor several uaVs last week ana
until Wednesday OF this week. They say
that they propose starting daily news
paper in this city, notwitlIst sndins the
already Overwhelmed condition of jour
nalistic competition. 1t is reported that
the Commercial club-to which body
they appealed on Saturday night-accord-
ed them little encouragement in their pro-
posed advent, probably realizing that,
when this city will afford sufficient patron
age to make daily newspaper q self sup
porting enterprise, The HERALD will in
augurate a creditsble morning paper.
Notwithstanding the lack OF enthusiasm,
however, and the failure TO pledge sup
port on the part Of the local merchants,
the paper is probably to be foisted upon
the people. II is understood the plant is
to be shipped about August LIST. 1t would
be an advertisement OF the boomerang
order for Yakima to encourage a venture
OF this kind and then have ii die through
lack Of support.
Numerous complaints have reached The
HERALD regarding the open violation of
law in the matter Of bitches being allow
ed to overflow embankments and food
adjacent roads. This act constitutes q
misdemeanor and is punishable as such.
The patience of carriage drivers In this
city has long been tried, and an example
will soon be made OF some negligent
ranchers il an immediate change of tao
tics be not noticeable. Besides being in.
convenient, the constant driving through
mud and water, hub deep, is injurious to
the vehicles and expensive in the matter
of keeping them clean. Ditch owners
should see to it that no further complaints
are made. The law is plain and nanda-
tory. 1t provides that water diverted by
laterals from main bitches or running
streams shall be carried though embank-
ments. without waste, by the shortest
possible route, back to the source Of
origin at lower point.
The county commissioners will meet in
special session on Saturday next, to pro-
vide the new jury list made necessary by
the passage of the new law by the last
| legislature. The act became operative
after June / and the list must be ready
for such court business as obtains from
that date. Three hundred new names
will be drawn by the commissioners
That body will probably also act upon the
proposal Of Land Commissioner Phipps,
of the Northern Pacific, In regard to
another test well in the Horse Heaven
country.
Charles S. Fee, general passenger and
ticket agent OF the Northern Pacific, in
speaking OF the new Commercial club
folder, wrote to member of the club as
follows: 81 want to compliment you on
the very handsome appearance of this
pamphlet. 1t is certainly away ahead OF
our pamphlet devoted to the same terri
tory, at least geographically. s*s For
your information beg to say that our
total issue of Yakima pamphlets up to
the present time has amounted to 3d.
