Greater New York

Greater New York has a popula-
ton almost as great as that Of the
whole United States at the time
George Washington was first elected
President. 1t is equal to that Of the
combined population of the follow
ing twelve States: Colorado, Della
ware, Florida, Idaho, Montana, Ne
Vada, North Dakota, Oregon, South
Dakota, Utah, Washington and WyO-
ming, with the District Of Columbia
thrown in. Its population is nearly
az great "a that OF swarming Holland,
one.third greater than that OF all
Norway, twice Is great ~ that of
Cuba, equal to that of Chile, and
greater than that OF Switzerland,
Greece, Denmark or Venezuela. 1t
equals the combined population of
half dozen Of the minor countries
of Central and South America
Greater New York is the greatest
Irish city in the world, with II popu-
lation of $1,000. 1t is IA greater
German city than any but three or
four OF the largest cities OF the Ger
man Empire, with 32j, 900 Germans
within its limits. 1t has Il p0pula,
ton greater than that of any single
State in the Union. excepting only
New York itself, Pennsylvania, OhiC
and Illinois.
The wealth of Greater New York
is almost beyond belief Its real es
tate and personal property are as
scSSod at the enormous sum total OF
$500, 900, 900. Compare this with
the assessed value Of all the property
in the richest States of the Union, as
follows: Massachusetts, 81, l54, 900,
600; Pennsylvania, 5000, 200, 900
ohio, SI,77S, ZOO, 900; and Illinois
$50, 900, 900. Within the borders ot
the new municipality there are ZOO
miles of street railway, including
l5j miles of elevated tracks. Thi.
will give an idea of the immenSitN
Of the city, the political control oI
which is now in the hands Of Tam
many Hall.

Fem b. Woudcock, one OF the pioneer
and most respected residents Of the Iaki-

years. Death was the result of heart
disease and came without warning al
though Mr.. Woodceck was we'll aware Of
his infirmity. On Saturday he spent the
day in the city and on Sunday attended
the Ahtanum church. Rev. Bailey Of
Seattle, one OF the trustees OF the Ahtan-
um academy, vas his guest and on Mon
day morning was preparing to come to
North Yakima to take the train for his
home in Seattle. Mr.. Woodcock
was giving some orders about the
team when he was suddenly stricken
down and died few minutes later
Mr.. Woodcock came from Puget Sound
10 the Yakima valley in 1877. He had
been gallant soldier during the war and
always took much pride in the Grand
