A Startling Find.

The little dead body of an infant male
child was discovered by Lee VanBuskirk
Saturday morning in the Union Ditch
near Wheelerville just east of the city.
1t was found wrapped up in -four sack
and WAS taken to the undertaking parlors
OF Lombard & Horsley, where jury was
impanneled and an inquest held.
DR.. Gum made post mortem exami.
nation and reported that the child was
alive when born; that it was "a to As
hours old at the time of it's death and
that there were no bruises or external
marks of violence on the body which
was in good state of preservation.
The jury brought in verdict to the
effect that death was caused by party O,
parties unknown and in manner not
determined.
The disgraceful mystery surrounding
this death, which has all the appearance
of having been murder, has been taken
in hand by the city authorities and a de.
termined effort is being made to fasten
the guilt where it belongs. At the pres
ent writing no clue worth mentioning
has been unearthed.

Last weeks HERALD contained news OF
the discovery of a very rich quartz ledge
in this county said to have been made by
Lou Woods of Goldendae. While en-
gagged in working last summer on the
Natchez river near the Tietan, according to
his report, he took stroll one day up
one of the canyons, and, noticing pecu-
liar sort of dirt, he went to digging into
it with his hands, and ran his finger
against something sharp, cutting it quite
badly. He continued his Investigations,
aud finally uncovered some quartz. He
noticed there was apparently gold in it
and broke off piece, covered the rest up
aud left the place, intending to return
when he saw fit.
He took specimen, weighing twelve
pennyweights, to a Goldendale jeweler
who crushed it in an iron mortar and,
after picking out the coarse gold, PANIED
out the balance in the usual way, and
cleaned up eight pennyweights, valued at
81 cents per pennyweight.
Notwithstanding the fact that no legal
filing has been made on any such claim
in this county, prominent Godendale
people. who are acquainted with Mr..
Wood, believe lis report to be true.

Headed for Yakima.

A recent dispatch from Vancouver
states that the Vancouver, Klickitat &
Yakima railroad has been sold at receiv-
er's sale, by order Of the superior court,
to satisfy the claims against the road held
by the first mortgage bond holders,
amounting to $37 ,450. The property was
bid in by the trustee for the bondholders,
tor 500, 900. 1t is understood that negotia-
tons are pending for the sale Of the road
to party Of eastern capitalists, who, it is
said, if satisfactory arrangements can be
made, will extend 1t to Yakima along the
route originally surveyed, and convert it
into passenger and freight road.
At present the road runs from Van
couver up into the timber a distance of
about twelve miles, and is used as log.
ging road, but about four years ago a
survey was run clear through to North
Yakima and a very satisfactory route
laid out. 1t makes the distance from
Portland to North Yakima shorter than
from the latter place to Tacoma and
crosses the mountains with two per
cent. maximum grade. There is no tun-
mel on the survey, but several high
bridges will be necessary. The road will
run through country very rich in tim
Der and coal and will open up some mag
nificent agricultural districts. A spur
will run off to the southeast and tap
Goldendale and the large wheat section
thereabouts, while the main line will
come into Yakima county near the Sim
coe springs and following down the Sim
coe range, will pass through Union gap
and thus enter North Yakima.
AT present we are shut out of Portland
markets with our products and that city
is at a disadvantage in selling to the
Eastern Washington trade, but the COM
pletion Of competing road would remove
both of these difficulties.

Bob White Quail.

While out cunning in the Selah valley
few days ago Tom Fisher saw a large
bunch of Bob White quail that he and
some others OF our sportsmen turned loose
to propagate in that valley last year
They liberated bunch in the Mckee
valley. in the Matches and also up the
Ahtanum, and have now heard from
them all, Mr.. Fishers discovery of few
days ago, however, being the first sight
that has been had of that particular
band.
II cunning parties will let these birds
alone for few years, they will in time
afford excellent sport and the gun club
which imported the birds is very desir.
Gus that parents should caution their
boys regarding this game and also ab.
stain from shooting 1t themselves.

A Tribute Of Respect.

The reaper, death, has again entered our
midst and claimed as his victim one Of
our most aged friends, Mr.. John Brown.
Mr.. Brown had passed his four score
years, and In his death was verifcation
of the Scriptures. "Thon shalt come to
thy grave In full age like shock Of corn
cometh in his season."
He leaves three children--two sons and
q daughter-and q host of relatives and
friends to cherish his memory. Like q
weary pilgrim coming to the end Of his
Journey, he went down 10 the grave calmly
Trusting in Him in whom he hadbelie7ed
and who had robbed the grave OF its ter
rors.
To his children we tender our oeepes
sympathy in this great bereavement. But
they are soothed and comforted by an un-
faltering trust in that Saviour whom be
loved and trusted, and with the lesed as
surance that at most it won't be loEg ua
til there will be a happy and eternal reun
ion in the mansions which he has gone t
prepare for his followers. His temples
were wreathed about with snowy locks q
an almond tree whose blossoms wer
whitening for the harvest, ''and be realiz,
that the days of the months of the years o
his pilgrimage were many, and confident
ly awaited the summons Who shall So,
that out of an abundance Of good deeds il
his home he has not reapei harvest G
everlasting life.

In some sections of the country it is
fashionable to blackguard the Wilson
tariff law, but figures show the foreign
trade of the year 1896 to have been the
largest this country ever bad. Our ex-
ports amounted to $1,000, 900, while
our imports were $6so,oOo,OOo, leaving q
balance OF trade in our favor of 1926, 600,
900. These figures show that the tariff is
not the disease responsible for the coun-
stry's troubles, notwithstanding republi-
can assertions to the contrary.
