The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1895-11-21

i
the present commissioner overrules ex-
Commissioner Stone, who held in favor
OF the entry in the early part Of the same
series of cases. The local office is sus-
tanned in its findings OF fact, but the Hon.
Commissioner raises a new point which
1t seems has not heretofore been urged by
the government. He holds that the
power of attorney by Tillman to johnson
must be construed as deed, ana there
fore the filing made under this power OF
attorney was not for the exclusive use
and benefit of Tillman. The case will
doubtless be appealed to the secretary OF
the interior.
j. ID. Medill, who is representing the
Commercial club in securing information
regarding the orchard acreage Of Yakima
county, says that, according to his esti-
mates, returns on about half OF the acre
age have been received, and he desires
THE HERALD to urge those who have
fruit trees to inform him as to the num-
Der and variety at once, as full list will
prove a matter Of public and Individual
benefit. Mr.. Medill estimates that there
are between five and six thousand acres
Of fruit trees in the county.
| Mrs. NJ. A. Chapman returned Tuesday
from q short visit with her sister. Mrs.
Will White, at Sprague. Mrs. Chapman
says the Northern Pacific is building a
temporary roundhouse and shops at that
point, and that the citizens have faith in
the company ultimately adopting that
place for its permanent shops. The
rumor that Mr.. and Mrs. Will White will
remove to Yakima is premature, but they
expect to either come to Yakima or 60 to
Honolulu should the Northern Pacific
give Sprague the go-by.

from a business and pleasure trip OF
nearly three months in the east and

DIR. W. H. Hare is prominently men,
