The hot weather is impressing Soda
Springs upon the notice Of those who
have the time for an outing. Among
those who have gone into camp there
this week are U. F. Ditemsn and family
and the family of Thomas Lund accom-
panied by Miss Hamacher. Col. A. G..
Walker will establish his camp there on

The base ball epidemic continues its
frightful havoc. Wednesday the mer-
chants played the real estate and insur-
snce men and the score stood 81 to IS in
favor of tho latter. 1t was wonderful
game. The real estate and insurance
men scored IA runs the first innings and
on the principle Of helping the under dog
the sympsthies Of the spectators went
out to the merchants and the opposing
nine was guyed most frightfully. In the
eighth innings the merchants were ahead,
but the ninth reversed the score. The
incidents OF the game were the heavy
batting on both sides, the fly catches of
Deacon" Dudley, the splendid fielding
OF William Ker and the overwhelmingly
bad playing of G. NJ. Mckinney.
Some noble and patriotic specimen Of
mankind celebrated the Fourth OF July
by poisoning E. M. Reeds hound pup,
"Blue, jr." What an enjoyable day he
must have had when he reflected on his
brave deed and watched the poor brute
writhing in the agonies Of strychnine
poisoning. How proudly he must have
carried himself and with what satisfac-
ton he must have congratulated himself
when he realized how much superior he
was in stature, to the squirming pismires
on the ground. if not in instinct and
humanity. The consciousness OF being q
miserable, low.down scrub should be
punishment sufficient for those who put
out poison, but the law also imposes q
penalty of $3.50 and several Of the owners
of valuable dogs in this city have agreed
to see that the law Is enforced If informs-
ton sufficient to secure conviction can be
obtained.
On July 9th there was filed for record
in the auditors office of this county q
deed from Chappell & Cox to Alexander
Miller to the two lots on the northeastern
corner Of Yakima avenue and Second
street. The consideration paid was 10000
and possession OF the property 10 to be
given on the lst Of September. Mr.. Mil
Ter, when interviewed regarding the pur-
chase, said he had not bought the prop
erty for speculative purposes but that
with g good so feet front building on the
lots it would make choice location for
such business as could be operated sue
cessfully in connection with the milling
trade. He had no settled plans other
than to use the present building as a feed
warehouse and Office until spring when
he expected to erect creditable building.
Flour will be sold to the merchants at
wholesale, IS heretofore, 30 long as 1t can
be satisfactorily handled, but Mr.. Miller
showed that he wasn't satisfiedIwith some
Of the merchants bringing in -four from q
distance in preference to using the home
product which is the equal Of any in
quality and superior to many. He
thought home institutions should have
the preference over anyothers, and re-
garding the North Yakima Milling COM
panay, he said its payroll and disburse-
ments in Yakima amounted to between
seven and eight thousand dollars month
ly, and this money directly or indirectly
went into the hands of the local mer-
chants. THE HERALD is not surprised
that Mr.. Miller feels that the milling
company is not receiving the best of
treatment and certainly little more of
the Seattle idea," II made applicable to
North Yakima, would rebound to the
benefit of all.
