ano,hcr Corporation Receiysrship

On Monday Judge Davidson appointed
ID. d. Calkins OF Prosser, receiver of the
Prosser Falls Irrigation Co. The appli-
cation for the appointment of receiver
was made by Attorney w. b. Noble, who
represents the Italian and German bond
holders. The company has floating
Indebtedness Of about 200 and a
bonded Indebtedness OF slO0, 900, all Of
the latter being held abroad. The cost
of the plant, canal and lands owned by
the company was about equal to the
present indebtedness. Thirty thousand
dollars has been spent since construction
was finished in maintenance. The
present unfortunate condition of the
company is due to the panic and subse-
quent depressed financial and business
conditions which overlook the company

out the plans for colonization contemplate

coded that we have Q large acreage OF
land especially adapted for beet culture
and Of very little value for anything else.
In the matter of the proposed wool scour-
ing plant nominal freight rates were
secured from points east and vest to
North Yakima on secured wool and
among our local sheep men agreements
were made to subscribe sufficient stock
to assure the establishment OF such an
enterprise.
The locating of the Odd Fellows home
and the Hollanders Sanitarium depend
on the action of those bodies and the
club having done all that can be done
and must simply await final action on
their part.
One Of the most promising avenues Of
prosperity for North Yakima today lies
in the direction of the Gold Hill mining
properties which give such promise OF
wonderful wealth as to indicate that an
extensive mining camp will be built
there during the present year. III this
comes about, the trade Of such a camp
will be invaluable to our merchants and
farmers and in order to secure this trade
steps have been taken to build a road to
tap this mining country. A subscription
list has been circulated and $1,000 sub
scribed toward the undertaking and work
will be commenced as soon as the
weather will permit.
During the year that has gone many
smaller matters have received attention
which are too numerous to mention in
this report and yet they go to make up
years successful work. The semi
monthly club entertainments have been
carried on as usual during the winter
months, and at all times the club rooms
have offered comfortable and attractive
quarters for the members. The rooms
have been used more during this year
than ever before and the club has become
an established institution of North
Yakima.

The following is the annual report ofthe

The Yakima Commercial club has
reached birthday number three and is
today in better condition in many ways
than at any other time IN its history.
While the membership is not quite so
large as one yearago, it is large enough
to sustain the club properly and is free
from drones. Every member is active
and alive to the interests Of the organizs-
ton and Of the community. We have
on our membership rolls ninety.eight
members. OF this number nine are alb
sent on leave without dues leaving 80
contributing members. During the year

payment of dues and three have resign

elected.

A recent issue of the San Francisco
Examiner, a copy Of which THE HERALD
has been unable to obtain, states in
effect that II. J. Keuchler, formerly a
jeweler of this city but who left Yakima
two or three years ago and established
himself in Stockton, is suspected of hav-
ing poisoned his wife, who died in q
sudden manner last summer. The Fr-
dmiHer states that the body of the de.
ceased was to be exhumed and an
/ investigation held. Mr. Keuchler while
here became enamored with a young
woman who was engaged in a variety
show then being run IN tins city. The
aforesaid young woman is said to have
pulled his leg for much of his loose
change and has since carried on intimate
relations with him.

Mr.. A. Clark. of Aberdeen, Wash.
will arrive here in few days, with view
to the establishment OF cannery on new
and improved plans which are covere d
by broad patents. Mr.. Clark has be en-
in communication with Mayor Fechter
and j. NJ. Gilbert, ex-president OF the
Commercial club, for some time past,
and has thoroughly interested them in
his project. Samples of desiccated fruits
and vegetables, syrups, preserves, mar
malades, dried and preserved fruits pre-
pared under this process have been
received here and elected favorable COM
ment. Mr.. Clark proposes to bring with
him some of these goods in sufficient
quantity to prepare dinner tor a number
Of citizens and thus show their SUPERIOR
ty over the other products that are now
supplied to the trade.
This is the first feasible project that has
been presented to the citizens OF Yaki ma
and while no miscellaneous stock com
pany will be entertained Mr.. Clark de-
sires to enlist several substantial citizens
to take hold of the enterprise with him.
The minimum cost of the plant will be
$4,000 but so satisfactory are the profits
under this system that the promoter
feels confident that the capacity will be
doubled after the first season.
In a recent letter Mr.. Clark presents
the following statements: The Wal

Cal. operates large plant and produces
more pounds of the finest quality Of
prunes to the ton of fresh fruit than ever
was known by other process, and that

"a swell wedding Function"


The midgets wedding at the Presbyter-
ian church on Thursday evening of last
week was what might be called very
swell function. The wedding was in
pantomime and was preceded by a short
program in which Mrs. Horsley, Mrs.
Dudley, Mrs. Willis and Mrs. Wright
took part. The event of the even
ing was announced by the grand
notes of Memberships wedding march
from the organ presided over by
Mrs. Semmons. The high contract
ing parties were Master Virgil Dudley
and Miss Florence Scow. Johnny Saw
bridge, in clerical attire, officiated at the
mute service, while George Donald and
Margie Krutz charmingly represented
the parents in giving the bride away.
There were other midgets who took part
in the ceremony, the Misses Vivian En-.
glehart and Marguerite Brown taking
part of bridesmaids, one carrying silk n
pillow on which the happy couple were
to kneel and the other a silver tray on
which were heaped rose petals which
were scattered along the line of march.
Ladies of Honor, ushers, guests, etc. #,
were portrayed by Arthur and Florence
Carpenter, George Cornett, Edna Walk
er, Richmond Freeman, Clifford Krutz,
Bonnie Sawbridge and Fred Henton.
All OF the midgets were in full dress, the
little men in cIawhammer coats and the
tiny ladies in silks, laces and orange
blossoms. Their dresses were en- train
while their corsages were so devised as to
show their pretty necks and arms. 1t
was a charming affair throughout and
greatly enioyed by large audience.

STRANGE WILL CASE.
Developments of the Litigation of an
Estate at Stockton.

STOCKTON, April 16.-Another con-
best was filed to-day in the estate of
George w. Kasson, who died here sew
eral months ago, worth over 100000.
To-day Mrs. Mary Mann made an ap-
plication for the distribution of the es-
tate, claiming to be a legitimate daugh-
ter of Kasson and the only heir. Some
time ago George ". Linday through
Deusen &s Dehaven of San Francisco.
filed like petition, claiming to be the
only son and heir of the deceased
There is an interesting story back of
the two petitions, and it turns out that
both petitioners are legitimate children
of Kasson, though neither knew of the
existence of the other. They were born
in Arkansas. Kasson's first wife, of
whom the children were born, was a
profligate, and she gave her children
to others to be reared. Linday was
brought up by a fisherman, and the
present heir Mrs. Man, was given to a
woman named Browman. Kasson then
came to California and amassed a
fortune.
1t is said that both Mrs. Browman
and Kasson's first wife are alive and
at the proper time will appear to sup
port the claims of the brother and

i'm Number of Recent RObberieS
in Southern California.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.--George
Green and Danny Needham, aspirants
for the welterweight championship of
America, came nearly mixing things
tonight without the aid of a kineto-
scope.
They had met by previous arrange
ment at the saloon of Young Mitchell
to sign articles for a twenty-rOund con-
test before the Occidental Club some
time early in May. Both men have
been very friendly, Notwithstanding the
fact that they have tried to punch each
other into insensibility, and things got
along swimmingly until it came to a
matter of weight. Green insisted that
his opponent should not exceed the
class limit, 145 pounds, while Need
ham, who fully appreciates the effec-
tiveness of a few extra pounds in a
long go insisted on going in at 14S.
Then they had it. Unkind and un-
printable things were said of one by
the other, fists were shaken, and blood
would certainly have flowed had not
Young Mitchell used his power to the
utmost. He could not get the men
signed, however, but hopes to tomor-
row morning, at which time both pugi-
lists will be present. Both men are an
xious to meet Tommy Ryan, and the
one that wins the proposed match can
certainly get on with him. Tonight
Needham exhibited articles for a twen-
ty-round "go" signed by Ryan sent on
for the Californian's signature. The
only thing that kept Needham from
signing was the fact that the SYRIA
cusan had not advanced expense mon
ey. If he cannot get them to agree to
this tomorrow, he will go on with
