made for members of the central COM

gate, V. ID. Ritter, c. d. Murane and J..
ii. Needham. The action involved hot
fight and Leigh X. Freeman characterized
the proceedings as clark lantern bust
ness" There is anything but harmony
within the ranks OF the populists, and
Freeman, who wants to get his nose into
the crib, charges that the committee is
being manipulated with view to paying
a board bill to the amount of SIZE which
the Argus editor owes 10 the Tier house,
and says the committee has no more
right to foot this bill at the expense of the
populists of the county than it has to pay
the grocery bills for the editor of the
Farmer, which Freeman would evidently
like to have done. The Farmer asserts
that the populists can only elect their tick
ct by getting rid Of such men as Trimble
and Murane, and calls upon the party to
bury them too deep for resurrection.
Nearly two days Of the time Of the
superior court was consumed in bearing
the application Of several of the heirs OF

Barefoot School Boy Bill" Thus it will
be observed that the funds to come in
when paid will liqudate the indebtedness
now existing. But they cannot be an
ticipated by the school board until au-
tborized by vote of the district; as the
board is absolutely forbidden to exceed
the one and one half per cent limit with
out the authority OF the voters. The
school board will Immediately submit
proposition to the voters of the district
for valuation of the outstanding war
rants and for authority to keep the
schools open until the end OF the term.
The schools have been conducted now
about four months, and under the pro-
visions Of the law unless our schools are
kept for six months the $500 due from
the state in June will be forfeited.
1t is deemed proper at this time to pre-
sent to the voters statement Of the gen.
ersl condition OF the district as to assets
and liabilities. The district has the two
large and commodious buildings, Column
bis and Central schools, together with
ample grounds and the buildings COM
pletely furnished with all approved mod.
ern appliances.
This school property at a conservative
estimate is worth now $4,000. In ad-
dition the district owns site for another
building worth $1,000.
The value and Importance to our town
OF efficient educational institutions can
not be over-estimeted and the people of
North Yakima have always responded
promptly and cordially to every legiti-
mate demand for their maintenance.
Our schools have now reached a crucial
period, and it is imperatively necessary
for the voters of the district to validate
the outstanding Indebtedness and to
authorize the board to keep the schools
open until the close of the present term.
The board has therefore submitted to
the people the proposition for their ap-
prevail at special election to be held
for that purpose on the 9TH day OF the
ensuing March. 1t will require a three
fifths vote of the legal school electors in
the district for approval.
All persons possessing the qualifica-
tons OF electors under the state laws
who have resided in the district 80 days
preceding the election both male and
female are qualified to vote at such cleo
ton.

At recent meeting OF democrats at
the city hall the following resolutions,
offered by j d. Medill, were adopted:
Resolved, That we as democrats Of
Yakima county, in meeting assembled
do hereby renew our allegiance to the
democratic principle Of free and I'M
limited coinage of both gold and silver
at the ratio of 16 to l. regardless OF the
action of any other nation.
Resolved, That we repudiate the finan.
cial policy OF the present national admin.
istration as un democratic and unwise
that it is based upon an unfair and
strained construction Of the declaration
of the last democratic national conyen-
ton.
Resolced, That believing as we dc
that our county democracy is practically
unanimous in the advocacy Of free silver
coinage, we urge upon the members Of
our party the duty of having their views
properly represented at the coming party
conventions.

Nellie McHenry Next Monday.


In last weeks Issue of The HERALD
there were criticisms made regarding the
exhorbtant theatrical license which had
caused Nellie McHenry's troupe to slight
Yakima and give a performance at FL
lensburg. but through the efforts OF the
Elks this has all been changed and
Jolly Nellie" and her talented company
are to appear at Mason's opera house, on
Monday evening next in the bicycle
Girl" farce comedy which has proven
the success of the season. The troupe
comes under the auspices of the Best
People on Earth, and that should be
guarantee enough of the excellence of the
performance and that the audience will
receive full value for the money.
The. Bicycle GIRL was written expressly
for Nellie McHenry by Louis Harrison.
The title expresses the entire plot, which
consists of the adventures Of Grace (Nel-
lie McHenry) in her scheming ideas to
be the New Woman. The first act shows
us the Briarwood Bicycle club; the Sec
ond act the Bicycle tea, and the third act
the Bicycle meet. Miss McHenry is the
life of the company. but the arteries
through which course the fun and merri-
ment are her clever assistants, number
ing dozen or more. Prominent among
them may be mentioned John Webster,
Charles Morrison, Henry Lamont, VIM.
Richie, Miss Laura Bennett, Miss Dell
Jackson. Misses Delmore and Crouch,
and others.

~. B. Schultz has disposed of his
creamery and residence property at Ell
lensburg, and with p. A. Bounds, is figur-
ing on building and operating an extern
sive creamery in or near this city. Mr..
Schultz says that Yakima is even better
dairy country than Kittitas, on account
Of our alfalfa and other milk producing
folders, and that while more ice will have
to be used, on account of the higher tenn
perature, the advantages are distinctly
with Yakima.
1t is the idea OF Messrs. Schultz and
Bounds to form stock company with
ample capitalization and to get as many
dsirymen interested as possible. The
milk of not less than thousand COWS
will be required which will insure dis
tribution among the dairymen of 5000
per month. 1t is not proposed to buy the
milk but to buy the butter, as guaged by
the butter fat, charging cents per pound
for the making. In small diaries it is es-
timated that it costs from 9 TO cents per
pound for the making, SO this would be a
distinct gain for the dairymen,' while in
suring a steady, cash market at ruling
prices. A cold storage house is contem-
plated in connection with the creamery
80 as to carry the product, when the mar
ket is glutted with butter, until there is
an active demand and the prices are sat
isfactory. Mr.. Schultz is the right
man in the right place and he will I'M.
questionably make success of his pro-
ject.

school Affairs,

To the Uoters of Yakima school district
No. 2:
The Board of Directors OF school dis
trict No. 7, this city, have recently as
certained that the district is beyond the
legal limit of indebtedness that can be
incurred by the board. Until recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court, the bonded
Indebtedness of school districts was not
included within the one and one half
per centum on the assessment roll of
which the school board was authorized to
incur in maintaining schools. But the
bonded Indebtedness OF this district is
$34, 10000. The assessment roll for the
district in 1895, is $l,lO0,s 800, one and
one half per centum on this roll is &c.,
5l2. Thus it will be observed that every
warrant now outstanding is above the
one and one half per centum limit. The
amount of such warrants now outstand-
ing is SIC, 06S.56 mainly due for salaries
of the teachers, school supplies and fur
niture. 1t will require $4,000 for salaries
Of teachers and school supplies to keep
the school open until the close of the
present term. The indebtedness may all
be validated by vote of the district, as
such power is conferred by law. The
amount now due and uncollected on tbs
tax roll is $4,000. There will be due
from the state in June, $500 under ths

mmerciai Club Executive Meeting

The Governing board of the CONNER
cisl club held its first meeting of the club
year on Saturday evening last. Very
little business was transacted aside from
the election of a secretary. A. b. Ross,
Chas. F. Bailey and Henry Teal were
placed in nomination but Mr.. Teal's
name was withdrawn after the second
ballot, which resulted in the selection OF
Mr.. Bailey. 1t is understood that Mr..
Bailey is DESTROYS OF retaining his former
position OF assistant secretary and that
his resignation will be before the board
at the next meeting.
A communication was read from Man
ager Dickinson of the Northern Pacific
regarding the opening of Yakima avenue
and the building of a new depot. Mr..
Dickinson said he did not feel justified in
recommending that the company take
upon itself this burden at present; that
it would cost SO 900 to build depot at
North Yakima similar to that at Puyal-
lup, as was contemplated, with an addi-
tional $500 or $1,000 to rearrange the
yard to fit the new location. Mr.. Dick
inson enquired if the the citizens of Yak
ina felt warranted in joining in any part
of this expense, and the secretary was in
structed to answer that the club did not
think the citizens should be called upon
for assistance and to further urge the i'm
provements asked for.
A letter of tenor not very encourag-
ing, was received from Chester A. Cong
don relative 10 the donation of land for
the proposed Odd Fellows home. Mr..
Congdon said, however, that he was
about leaving for New York and would
submit the matter to the board of direc-
tors of the Ontario Land Co. and if they
could see how they would be benefited
by the gift it would, doubtless, be made.
A letter was read from l. A. Ingersoll
& Co., regarding cannery in Yakima,
in which it was stated that a member oil
the firm intended visiting Yakima for
the purpose of looking over the field and
interesting the people in canning
project. This is the firm that built a
factory at Centralia which last year
canned $4,000 cans of tomatoes, 5000
cans of beans and 1000 cans OF apples.
