smaller bitches on the small streams,
such as the John Cox; the Stair ditch );
the Shaw ditch on the Ahtanum river +,
costing from $4,000 to $50 900 each. There
are also small bitches on the Cowyche
and the Wenas streams, all of which
have caused the lands watered to yield
abundan,lv.
There is no one not familiar with irri-
cation who can be made to realize the
vast prosperity derived from irrigated
lands. have been in this county since
1881, having come from California where
irrigation is carried on very extensively,
and can safely say that the lands here
are more productive when irrigated than
in an any irrigated district l ever saw :.
The yield from alfalfa is about 8 tons per
acre yearly, which has a ready sale in the
stack at good prices. Yakima is the ban
ner county for potatoes, as high as 600
bushels to the acre having been produced
to my personal knowledge. This shows
beyond doubt that irrigated lands are
superior for the growth of one of our
most staple food articles. The price is
seldom below s. per ton, and often goes
as high as SIS to $50 per ton.
Hops are the great enterprise of our ir-
rigated lands, and one ton is the average
yield per acre. Taking the prevailing
price for this seasons crop at Is cents
pound, and the vast acreage of this pro-
duct, one can readily see the large amount
of money it brings into the county.
Then comes our irrigated fruit indus
try, which has in the last few years be-
come very extensive. It is the expert
ence Of eastern fruit growers that dark,
cloudy weather checks the growth OF
fruit; but here, with our perpetual sun
shine and abundance of water to irrigate
the trees when it is required, the best re-
suits are obtained.

ton of few matters may not be map
proprate. Some years ago it published
a pamphlet descriptive of this county,
which was at the time, and still is, rec
ognized as one of the best publications Of
that character ever put out. The infor-
nation contained in it was of that exact
nature the intending settler required, and
the illustrations gave an accurate idea of
this locality, To this pamphlet, and to
the club for its publication and circula
ton, may be directly traced the growing
population of this county. That issue is
now exhausted, and the club has under
consideration the publication of another
pamphlet of similar character for the pur-
pose of still further advertising this sec
ton. 1t is generally supposed that real
estate men only are interested in such
enterprises; vet our merchants and pro
fessional men have shared in the benefits
of the general increase in population, and
have reaped quite as much benefit as the
real estate men, and in many instances
perhaps more.
In 1896, under the auspices OF the club
a state fair WAS given, there being no
state appropriation for that purpose, and
this effort on the part of the club through
its committee which was appointed to
take charge of the matter, is remembers
as giving the most satisfactory results.
The fair itself was one OF the best ever
held, and the net proceeds, amounting to
about eight hundred dollars, was devoted
partly to paying the Indebtedness OF the
club, partly to the public library, and
partly TO the Ahtanum academy, all
worthy objects.
To the citizen of the town who is not a
member and who ought to be- and even

the pains to investigate. Some question
is considered at every meeting looking to
the development of the country. The
club aims to be the commercial head Of
the community in 20 far as public enter
prises are concerned. While its work is
perhaps not manifest from week to week,
yet in the long run it can point to much
development that has either directly or
indirectly started here through it's efforts.
Its social features bring the members In
to close relation ship, and it's winter par
ties have come to be one OF the features of
foot to build a club house better adapted
to its requirements, to which it is intend
ed to add bowling sllev and perhaps a
swimming tank and gymnastic appli-
anres. Strangers in our midst are well
come to share the Inequalities of the
club, and il cannot he doubted that this
fact has added much to cur reputation as
a community as well as aided in securing
settlers in this county. The officers are

YAKIMA COMMERCIAL CLUB
By EDWARD WHITSON.
~HE YAKIMA COMMERCIAL
kN Club was organized in January.
1894. II is the successor of the
Yakima Social Club, which was

-
started in 1889. After various mutations.
to which such organizations are subject,
it was found that the town WAS too small
to sustain a club with objects purely So
cial, and the social club gave way to the
present institution, which has for its OH
jects the advancement of the material in
terests Of the town and county, as well as
the friendly intercourse Of its members.
1t is worthy Of mention, however, that to
the liberal action of the first organization
is due the present existence Of the club.
II now has membership of about one
hundred, composed principally of the
business men of the town. 1t is safe TO
say that the monthly dues of one dollar
give its members more benefits, direct
and indirect, than can tie had for like
money in any other club in the state.
In so brief an article as this must he It
cannot be expected that any extended
reference can be made to its work aud
what it has accomplished, vet the men

The Care of Cut Glass.

Glassware will last longer and look
better if the following hints as to its
care and preservation are regarded.
Tepid water, the best CASTLE or other
pure soap, and stiff brush are the
first esseuti ais. After washing and
rinsing place the cut glass in box
wood sawdust. This will absorb the
moisture in the cuttings. Next re-
move the sawdust from the plain sur
faces with a soft cloth. By following
these directions the original clearness
and sparkle of the glass will be main
tanned.
Shot should not be used in carafes,
cruets, toilet articles and similar ar
ticies. 1t is very apt to scratch the
glass aud thus mar its beauty.
Prossic potato Feelings are the best
aids. Let them remain in the glass
ware over night, and then rinse out
with little tepid water.
A very important point is to avoid
sudden oh anges from extreme heat
to extreme cold and vice versa. A
pitcher or tumbler which has been
flied with ice water, q tay that has
been used for ice cream. sif plunged ut
once into hot wafer will be apt to
crack. Use tepid water, and the risk
of breaksge is avoided.
The sudden change from heat to cold
is Just as dangerous Glassware should
never be removed from closed
cabinet where it has become heated
and brought Immediately into contact
with q cold substance. Cool the glass
for time in water before subj-cting
it to the extreme temperature.-Phil
delphia Ledger.
