made in one of the largest meetings ever
held in the city, and the sentiment was
strongly in favor OF those who were declar-

another nominating convention and es-

CONTRACTING FOR HOPS

Five Year Agreement.
The POpULISTS CITY TICKET BEATEN
Marriage of Yakima's sheep King
and n Charming Young Lady Of
Tamptco-Coming Entertain ments
Death OF .sOid BIue.v

Local hop buyers now talk about 8 and
9 cents for hops; that there has been q
drop in prices, and that these are the top
figures, hut the truth is there are no hops
to be be bought, and the market is of
because dealers are trying to get con-
tracts. Wednesday eleven cents was
offered to FIVE different growers of this
county for the product OF their yards for
a term Of FIVE years. The growers were
all responsible men and have the reputa-
ton OF curing good hop, and 1t was
claimed by A. +. Poole, the representa-
tive of Pier Bros, who made the offer,
that he was paying cent above the
market price on this account. Four &C
ceptances of the contract are said to have
been made. Some of the growers claim
that it is too early to contract and that
the prices will be better before spring,
but Mr.. Poole is willing to back his judg-
ment that IL cents will be the highest
price offered on five year contracts.
Mr.. Charles Carpenter, who represents
Hansen & Co., of Milwaukee, q firm
which has always dealt on the square
with the growers Of Yakims, advises
against early contracting and soon ex.
poets to be figuring himself. He init.
mates that better prices can be had be-
fore long, and there is an impression that
has gotten out in some indefnable way
that twelve or twelve-and-a-half cents
have been offered or will be offered in the
near future. THE HERALD proffers no
advice to growers but simply gives the
news as it comes through the sitting ma
chine. Eleven cents means profit OF
from $75 to 500 per acre. Every add.
tional cent means profit OF from SIS to
$40 on the acre, and on a FIVE years contract
figures up in most satisfactory way.
The HERALD hopes all Yakima growers
will get the best prices obtainable but
they must not overlook the fact that there
has been long period OF loss, or at least
no profit, and it is well enough to con-
slider the subject from all sides and per-
haps contract sufficient of the crop, ii fair
fieues can be obtained, to guard against
the hardships which have been the hop
growers companions for several years
past.

Old "Blue'' is dead, and The HERALD
office is in mourning. "Blue'' was the
best known canine character in the town
He was expressed to North Yakima as q
puppy from Mendocino, California, 10
1890, and attached to him was a record oil
pedigree yard long showing direct de-
scent from the finest line Of greyhound
kings OF which there is any record. Az
puppy he was a picture which Rosa
Bonheur would have been delighted to
have reproduced. Later on he became
town dog in all that the term implies.
He would take his meals from all hands
and at odd hours and worse than all he
became addicted to the use 1f beer. lie
had his regular routes laid ont aud would
always demand his mornings morning"
from every saloon unless they came too
swift at one of the resorts along his beat,
In which event he would, after getting
his thirst fully quenched, lie down in some
warm spot and sleep his libations off.
When quite young his designations would
cause him to be somewhat unsteady on
his legs, and on one occasion, after over
loading his stomach and falling down,
seasickness overlook him and for long
while reformation promised be permanent
but his appetite gained the mastery over
him aud until his death, which occurred
on Monday, he was looked upon as very
much of an inebriate. Saloons were Dotl-
fled that he had been probated but some
way or other he always managed to get
his favorite beverage. His death was the
result garter, swelling in the throat,
which was finally choking him to death
when merciful bullet put an end to bis
suffering. There are few local characters
who will be more missed than "Blue."
Blue was not dog Of bad disposition,
but evil habits sometimes made him
cranky and as result he WAS shot at
three different times and twice poisoned.
He was called "Old Blue" because he
was the father OF likely young pup
known as "Young Blue" who, notwith-
standing most angelic disposition, fell a
victim to poison-probably put out for his
father. When Blue was at his best he
was jumper from Jumpersville and after
seeing him 20 over pair of #. screen
doors without any apparent effort, rep
resentative OF Sells Bros. circus, which
vas then exhibiting here, asked Blues
owner to name his price for the dog.
When he was told that he wasn't for sale
the answer came back There's price
for everything and the kink IN that dogs
tail is worth 500 to me-" Times were
good then and Blue hadn't price tag on
him so he was taken to THE HERALD Of
fee and chained up until Sells Bros.
were out of WashingtoH. The next time
Blue had chance to star the country
was in '94 when one OF those pestiierous
concerns known as Uncle Toms Cabins
troupes dragged him off to Spokane,
probably with the intention of making
him take the character OF Little Eva, but
the troupe, on teleeraphic instruction,
was held up by Deputy U. S. Marshal
Sam Vinson, and made to disgorge the
late lamented who was sent back home
with an express tag on him labled "The
Hon. Blue Reed, North Yakima, Wash.

hearty applause. The ladies had arrang-

thors who have always stood in the first
ranks. and yet the music was Of a char
acter that could be understood and
appreciated by all. The work done by
the ladies on this occasion shows great
deal OF careful and patient training on the
part Of each one and delighted the most
critical.
The program opened with piano solo
by Miss Grace Bunnell, which was rem
dered in her usual charming manner.
This was followed BY the double quartet
composed Of Mesdames Willis, Lesh,
Horsley. Gilbert, Roaf, Knuppenberg,
Moore and Scow. The soloists OF the
evening were Mrs.. Lesh and Mrs. Gil.
