II. c. Griffith Interviewed.

H. G. Griffith, Of the Hotel Yakima,
North Yakima, is at the Seattle hotel on
his way for a visit to his old home in
Whatcom. Mr.. Griffith is well known
on the Sound and is enjoying the meet
ing with old friends.
Talking last night of Yakima he said
Everything over that way is flourish
ing, people are prospecting and sati sfied,
and there is no complaint OF hard times.
The fruit crop is not so full as usual, but
that seems to be generally prevailing
condition. The hop crop is very large,
and Yakima county will this year pro-
duce 10000 bales, the worth of which
will be over 100000. There is a splen.
did system of irrigation and plenty of
water from the Natchez river, 80 that we
can practically make our own seasons.
There has scarcely been a drop of rain
since February, but everywhere, owing
to irrigation, crops are fourishing beau
tifully. The Yakima valley proper is
not wheat growing section, but east of
US, in the Prosser country, it fourshes.
We also have large interest in live
stock, as may be shown in the fact that
this year there are assessed for taxation
100000 sheep, which, of course, does not
represent the actual number. You know,
people never exaggerate when they make
out their returns for taxation"
Mr.. Griffith says he is satisfied with
his new home, which, together with his
neighbors there, he likes, but he says a
man who has lived nearly twenty wears
on the Sound, as he has, never gets over
his longing for it when he leaves

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR HOPS
Washington Growers Preparing to Harvest a
Fine Crop at Fair Prices.

Washington Growers Preparing to Harvest q
Fine Crop At Fair Prices.
Reports from hop districts OF this state
show that there will be better quality
than usual. The yield will be fully as
large as last year. There will probably
be 10000 to 10000 bales raised in the
state, with 10000 to the account OF east
ern Washington. 1t is estimated by hop
buyers that prices at the opening of the
shipping season will be from IL to IA
cents. Producers believe they will be
even higher than that. The yield this
year will be 1900 to 1900 pounds to the
acre.
S.V. Ramsey, hop buyer, in an in
terview in the Post-Intelligencer, says ::
THE raisers are getting ready to pick
one of the finest crops in their history"
he said recently, land I belive the quail.
ity will be superior to any in the world
this year. Last year was not bad, but
the growers had not started in early
enough to give them the best results,
though 2500 bales were sent to England
and brought better prices than could be
obtained for any OF the hops in Oregon.
But this year has a fine outlook, and the
growers are justly jubilant.

The board of equalization has con-
cluded its labors.
The commissioners decided to issue
bonds OF the county to the amount of
sa2 200 to fund the general and road and
bridge warrants. These are several
years behind. The amount is 500, O2O,
and $4,000 interest has accrued. The
bonds will probably be sold at the Octo-
Der session
A resolution was passed to create a
sinking fund for 1900 by levy of two
mills for that year and thereafter Tor the
purpose of taking up the 1902 bonds re-
deemable in 1902, or ten years subse
quently, amounting to $4,000.
The board passed the following
RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, The board of county COM

of the state of Washington entitled IAN
act authorizing and empowering the
organized counties of the state of Wash
ington to contract Indebtedness and TO
issue bonds for funding the same and de-
claring an emergency" Approved

county, to an amount sufficient to take
up and liquidate all of the aforemen-
toned warrant indebtedness, be issued
by said county, said bonds to be of the
denomination of one thousand dollars
each, or In any other amount of not less
than one hundred dollars each, at the
option of bidders or purchasers, to be
issued as OF October l, 1899, payable to
bearer in twenty years from date of
issue, and shall bear interest at a rate
not exceeding per cent per annum, pay
able annually, with coupons attached for
each interest payment. And the chair
man of the board of county commission
ers of said county is authorized and en-
powered to sign each of said bonds and

TRANSPORTATION NOTES

There are 1900 miles Of railway In
Poland.
In view Of recent railway accidents
the French minister of public works
has decreed that all trains must carry
requisites for prompt surgical aid to
the injured.
There is much French and Belgian
capital invested in the principal rail-
way lines of Spain, while England owns
manv of the shorter lines, and Is also
at the head of the mining interests.
A railroad official in a recent lecture
stated that it cost his road each year
about 81 900 for pins; $1,000 for rubber
bands; $4,000 for ink; $1,000 for lead
pencils-also that ii cost nearly as
much for stationery to carry on the
business as for iron.
The railway system Of the United
States reached Buffalo in 1852, Cley-e
land in 1853, Chicago in 1855, crossed
the Mississippi river in 1856, and reached
Omaha in 1859. The Union Pacific rail
way, extending from that point to Og-
den. and thence to San Francisco, was
opened May 10, 1869 1t was the first
of the transcontinental railways. The
second was opened March IS, 1881; the
third September s, 1893; the fourth No
vember 25, 1884, and the fifth November
2, 1888.

tober electric traction will be installed
on the lines Of the company. All who
have ever visited London know that this
wonderful system Of underground

ride on, owing to the smoke and gas
from the engines. The introduction OF
electricity will be a vast improvement
and will undoubtedly tend to increase
