The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1895-01-24

X. l.. McCook was a visitor in Tacoma
for several days last week.
Judge Reavis left on Tuesday morning
for trip to Olympia, he having business
before the supreme court.
~ Born, on Friday morning, Jan. IS, to
MIR. and Mrs. w. II. Redmsn, a son.
And the worthy mayor was distributing
fragrant Havanss in celebration of the
event.
X. w. Dunlop arrived in the city on
Monday from Prosser, which village he
reports as "flourishing, of course" He
will leave shortly for his mines at Gle
Elum.
Miss Cunning, the well known dress
maker, will leave for her new home in
the east about March /. She will remain
in Minneapolis for time, eventually CO.
ing to Wisconsin.
Representative Milroy is the worthy
chairman of the judiciary committee OF
lower house, while Senator Lesh is gwen
q place upon the appropriation committee
in the upper house.
Says the Spokesman-ReuieW: "Jim Ry-
an, the puglist, who came here from
Butte to fight Nick Burleigh, whom he
put out in one round at HillyarJ has
gone to North Yakima-where he expects
to make match with a local middle
weight"
VAmong other measures so far intro
duced in the senate are the following by
Senator Lesh, OF Yakima-To amend the
act relating to appeals to the supreme
court to prevent deficiencies in public
institutions and departments in Washing
ton; to amend the act for the collection
and assessment of taxes, and providing a
three per cent. penalty.
Efforts are being made by the local
lodge f. & A. NJ, to secure the services
of Gen. o. o. Howard, well known all
over the valley Of the Yakima, for his
work in pioneer days, to deliver lecture
under the auspices of the fraternal order
in the near future. 1t is probable that
the Switzer hall is the only one large
enough to hold the audience which would
turn out to greet the one. armed old soldier,
who is now on the retired list. 1t is to
be hoped that the Masons will be success
full in arranging for him to come.
Local sportsmen are in favor of the
passage of law by the legislature which
will permit Of an official in each county
called county warden; he to have
power to appoint committee of three in
each district to note all violations of the
game law. The warden and his assistants
could be paid from the fines collected
from parties who killed game out OF the
season, as there is now law allowing in
formers half the penalty imposed. The
state has a game warden, and Yakima
hunters think it would be advisable to
giye counties one, also.
NCol. L. S. Hewlett left on Saturday
for the state capital, and John Reed on
Sundsy-both intent on unraveling the
mysteries of the senatorial tangle, and
the latter laden with five or six Yakima
cream cheddars, intended to be used as
brides for Wilson votes and fair appro-
priation. Governor McCirsw and Secre-
tary OF State Price have sampled the
Yakima cheese product once or twice be-
fore, and each processes high regard for
it. Secretary Price knows more about it
than the governor, because the former al
lowed his phalsnges feloniously to adhere
to the latter's portion the last time a
quantity found its way to Olympia. The
governor has never forgiven him.
Sinclair & Harvey's Front street black
smith shop was burglarized on Thursday
night last, and quantity OF tools of small
value taken. Mr.. Sinclair states that the
thieves entered through window in the
rear of the building. He cannot under
stand why more expensive articles were
not taken; but The HERALD is OF the
opinion that the key to that problem lies
in events yet to come, synonymous with
some now passed into history. In nearly
every case Of safe-cracking with which
Yakima has been afflicted, blacksmith
shop had been entered but short time
previous in order to secure the tools with
which to commit the second offense.
Safe-owners among the merchants and
professional men would probably do well
to tack the old "Safe open, help yourself"
motto above the steel receptacles in their
places OF business. Something may drop
in the near future-and this ssfe-ssving
dodge isn't at all bad idea
The Calhoun Opera company played to
an audience that filled every chair at
Mason's on Friday evening last, aud the
small boys Of the city are now whistling
srias from "Amorita." The costumes of
the company were splendid, the chorus
work very good; and the jokes, although
q trifie mouldy in part, were up to the
average. Geo. Lyding was not up to his
usual standard, probably because his cast
