The Democrat denounced them

attention to the unnecessary and
dangerous interruption of leyee

The only other defense attempt
ted by the few who stand by our
incompetent officials is based on
the fact that the closure of the

We all know this, and realize
that Capt. Newcomer is primarily
to blame for the grievous error
that has brought us face to face
with a serious disaster.

successfully cope with the difficult
ties of the situation was obvious

Board had no authority to expedite

that very thing, and paying, per

for moving material, that could
have been moved for twelve or
fifteen cents, at the proper time.

The Hop Situation.

Messrs. w. ii. and Fl. LeMay, of Lon
don, perhaps the largest dealers in hops
in the world, make the following report
IN their circular September l, regarding
the hop situation in England:
"We have made (if possible, more than
usual) mos! exhaustive examination oil
the hop grounds in England, and from
the personal knowledge thus gained and
the information we have received from
our foreign correspondents, we believe we
are IN position to give an accurate FORE
cast OF Inc crop as compared with that OF
last year.
"Never before, even in The memory OF
the oldest hop grower, has there been
such persistent and prolonged attack OF
aphis blight in the hop gardens oil Eng.
land, which commenced early in May
and was only finally conquered about
three weeks since, when the hot weather
set in to help the efforts of the washing
machine, which up TO that time had
proved Intellectual to get rid of it, although
many farmers had washed their hops
seven to ten times, and we are sure there
has never been Ii crop of hops raised at 80
great an expense to the farmer as has
been the case this year.
Taking the English growth in the az
gregate, and putting a liberal estimate,
we believe that il will fall short of that oil
last year by 20 per cent. The acreage
being again decreased by ll2S acres, will
of course accentuate the position, and
puts the ehortag beyond question.
eve are confident there will be a
strong demand for the new crop az soon
as it is iairly on the market, and we ad-
wise growers to be most careful in pick
ing and drying"
p This week will see nearly all the hops
in Yakima county in the bale. There
has been no scarcity OF pickers and with
the favorable weather we have had pick.
ing has progressed rapidly.
The quality of hops this year is report
ed an average. The market remains from
10 to Il cents. A. E. Poole has purchased
so far this season about 900 bales al
prices ranging from 8 to II cents per
pound.

Splendldly Equipped.

One of the finest and best equipped
railroads is the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul. On our recent trip through South
Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois We
tried this railroad and know whereof we
speak. The road is splendidly equipped
with fast trains; the coaches are all fur
nished with the latest improvements, and
it is pleasure to ride with these people.
They employ but sober and industrious
men, who constantly look after the com.
fort and safety of the travelling public.
Anyone travelling in the above or adjoin-
ing states should take the Milwaukee
road by all means if it is convenient to
do 80. II you wish information concern
ing this excellent and popular road ask
any ticket agent, or write to G. ]. Eddy,

will gladly give it.-Genesee (ldaho)

BONANZA Farmers.

following to say about Yakima county
residents: "Kelso Bros. have ten sec
tons OF land in the Horse Heaven coun-
try, and will harvest So 900 bushels of
wheat at least. They are building ware
house at Badger, on the N. P. railroad.
Mr.. Kelso says the only thing Horse
Heaven lacks is water, which he believes
will be secured by means OF wells. He
has project for the general establish

And Still They Come.

On Monday large delegation of Hol-
landers arrived in the city from Michigan
under the guidance OF &. NJ. Mckinney.
There were sixty-three in the party,
twenty seven OF whom will locate in
Yakima county, while the others will
visit other parts of the state, and decide
upon desirable places to locate.
The Yakima colony is headed by Rev.
VIM. Frieling, and consists OF Holland
ers from Kent and Ottowa counties,
Michigan As is usual with this nation
alitv, they are all industrious and thrifty
people, with sufficient capital to push the
enterprise in which they may engage.
Many OF the families will find homes on
farms in this vicinity and near Sunnyside.
1t is reported that within short time a
church of their denomination will be es-
tablshed in North Yakima, which will
have tendency to bring others from the
east TO locate.
The coming Of this colony to Yakima
county is largely through the hard work
OF General Emigrant Agent G. w. Mott,
OF St. Paul, who has alwas had warm
spot in his heart for the irrigated districts
OF Washington. Among the literature be
has had published and distributed
widespread throughout the east is pretty

successful fruit growers, pretty orchard
scenes and much valuable information

Ahtanum Equal Suffrage Club.

Mrs. Laura E. Peters, state organizer
OF equal suffrage clubs, met with the peo'
pie of Ahtanum on Wednesday evening,
Sept. 81, and organized q suffrage club.
Miss Ollie Crosno was elected president;
Mics Vida Wardle. vice president; Mrs.
Ellen Banning, secretary; Mrs. Mary ].
Reed, treasurer.
Following is the platform of principles
OF the club:
ave hereby declare that by the divine
right of citizenship accorded to the
American people by the Magma charter
of republican freedom, the declaration Of
independence, we are entitled to the bal
lot by a national and inherent right. And
we claim it from the standpoint OF JUS
tice.
We claim it by the divine right Of self
government, the fundamental principle
of Americanism.
We claim it on the ground that taxa.
ton without representation is tyranny.
We claim it on the ground that all
political power is inherent in the people,
and that the governments derive their
just powers from the consent Of the gov.
erned.
We claim the ballot for the reason that
it is right and just, and not question Of
expediency. The same reasons that make
it.right for men to vote, i. 9. self govern
ment, self protection, freedom and liberty
are just as good for women. Therefore
RESOLVED. That we heartily urge the
voters to cast their ballots for the pro-
posed amendment to article six OF consti-
tuition"
