lie returned last evening. Lacbmund
had in his employ man name ed
Huntington, who made numerous pur-
chases, all of which were confirmed, un.
ill the date now referred to. Huntington
was very active and secured samples from
most of the growers. Finally on the
basis OF these samples he made num-
Der Of purchases at about 5 cents. The
market was not In very promising con.
dition and about this time Lachmund
took q trip and asked that new samples
be forwarded him. A dullness and a
slump in the market followed and the
growers who had sold on basis OF their
first samples were notified by letter that
the second samples were not up to stand
ard and the deals were off. The wiles OF
the hop buyer are becoming proverbial,
especially with regard to Horst Bros, but
the guileessness OF the hopgrower is az
conspicuous as ever.

The resignation of President A. b.
Weed and Treasurer Fred Parker, of the
state fair board, have been accepted by
Governor McGraw but the vacancies have
not as yet been filed. The HERALD
learns that Senator Helm, of Kittitas
county is being named for member Of
the commission. The appointment would
prove very satisfactory to the people OF
Yakima, as would also that of DR.. w. ii.
Hare, bu. the latter feels that he cannot
afford to accept the position. The doc
tor, however, has always made his pri.
vate wishes subservient to those of the
public and it is to be hoped that the gov
ernor will urge the position upon him.

satisfactory settlement.
