was being formed there for the purpose
OF securing eighty acres OF land in
Yakima county, to De planted 10 fruit,
and to build and operate a cannery at
this point. Representatives have visited
Yakima for the purpose of investigation
and their report was so satisfactory that
steps have been taken for forming the cor
poration and carrying forward the project.
Mr.. West stated that the company would
require two acres of ground and waterpower
which matter was referred to committee
consisting of j. ID. Medill, o. A. Fechter,
J. NJ. Gilbert, DIR. T. B. Gum and James
Greene. There are other concessions re.
quired and the opinion seems to prevail
that the Hawkeyes want entirely too
much. A plan has since been developed
to organize a stock company in Yakima,
for the purpose of building and operating
a cannery, and the committee advocates
making an effort to place 800 shares by
popular subscription at $40 per share.
There are several residents of this county
who thoroughly understand and have been
engaged in the cannery business and it ia
believed that the best plan is to make it
home industry.
Considerable interest is being taken in
some circles over the election OF a city
marshal for the coming year. Under the
present charter Of the city the choice is
optional with the council. The candi.
dates are the present marshal, Chas. Lii
lie, Nat Yeates, John Backer and B. F.
Maupin. The successor to Mr.. Lille will
be named at the frat meeting OF the coun-
Gil in January. 1t is understood that
Councilman Badger. Simmons aud Dite-
man and probably Pulley are opposed to
the present incumbent while husband is
his avowed friend and he may have the
support OF Hill. Larson, the populist
member, is said to favor Maupin first,
but is in the middle OF the road regarding
the other candidates. j. j. Backer, the
night-watchman has the greatest follow
ing among those who are against Mr..
Lille. The absence of Mr.. Diteman, al
though he will probably return in time
for the election, and the sickness OF DIR.
Hill, who 10 now rapidly recovering, are
elements in the contest which make cal
culations uncertain.

bert and Edward Whitson, appointed by
the Commercial club to confer with the
officials of the Methodist conference rela-
tive to the establishing of Methodist
college in Yakima, met on Monday after
noon at the Office OF Mr.. Gilbert, Presid-
ing Elder Booth of Spokane and Rev. N.
Evans OF this city, being also present.
Several other towns are lively bidders for
the institution, but it was the general
opinion that Yakima would do better in
the way Of bonus than any offer that
has as yet been submitted by any of the
other places. The college will require at
least 40 acres OF land for campus and
buildings. The trustees have $4,000 in
vested in other property which they can
dispose of and which amount will be CIV
en- toward the erection of the new college.
The entire state press, says the Colfax
C0nm0ner, now seems to be after Senator
John l.. The latter dignitary refused to
pay his honest subscription to the Spo-
kane Outburst, and that paper began the
war. The murmur of disapproval OF the
senator's course which is heard all over
the state threatens to develop into such
loud roar and thunder as to scare the con-
Ceited senator out OF his boots ere long.
Oh, what a terrible thing it is to incur
the wrath of an editor by refusal or
failure to pay an overdue subscription.
The wonder is that SO many people will
take the chances.
Mr.. II. J.. Tucker denies that any CLAN
dered horse was stabbed in his barn, and
that the horses brought here from Una
tilla county, by man named Twilley,
were simply suffering from bad cold
contracted through exposure on the road.
The horses. however, were quarantiened
for time but subsequently turned loose,
the charge that they were afflicted with
CHAMBERS having been disproved by COM
petent horsemen.
A future belle Of society arrived in the
city at o'clock Monday morning, Dec.
9th, in the person of the first born of Mr..
and Mrs. Samuel Storrow. The mother
and child are doing as well as could be
expected and the proud father asserted
that the baby was bouncer and weighed
not jot less than eleven pounds. Grand
pa Allen and the attending physician,
however, claim that the scales balanced
at the Id mark.
G. +. Ii. Bigney and wife, of Liberty,
kittitas county, arrived in the city Sun
day with the intention of spending the
winter in Yakima. Mr.. Bigney is one OF
the successful placer miners Of the Swauk
district and is accredited with having
taken out a hatful of gold during the past
season. The principal yield of the
swauk placers is nuggets and for one
weeks cleanup Mr. Bigney realized rs
ounces.
Quarterly meeting services will be held
next Sunday morning at the NJ. L.
church, Presiding Elder Booth conduct
