tn talk about the alfalfa being winter
killed. ! thought some of mine vas
dead and | went to work and sowed
about $50 worth of seed and now find
that sprouts are springing up in places
where supposed the roots were dead.
Lincoln Dilley-The four lots on the
corner opposite the old Guilland hotel,
on First street, can be purchased from
James NJ. Ashton for $1,000, if taken
soon. This would make an admirable
site for an armory and opera house.
JAS r. Coe-It is too bad that North
Yakima has not sufficient stage room for
first class theatrical companies. The
vacant lots on First and Chestnut streets
should be purchased by a syndicate for
an opera house and armory combined.
W. f. Lyons-Where | am working
near Kiona. there are about 100 Japs
and 40 Italians. The Italians spend
their money freely but the Japs hold on
to every dollar. The men are working
for the railway company, under the
supervision Of Roadmaster Scow.
J. b. Current Il am glad to see THE
HERALD paying some attention to the
mining industries. Gold Hill properties
are very valuable and will prove big
bonanza for North Yakima. 1t was a
great mistake to urge appropriations for
tpo az fajr 40
Gold Hill from North Yakima This
would have benefited the town in
greater degree.
Arthur Coffin-We have leased the
lower floor of Switzer's opera house for
wool storage place, it being admirably
adapted for that purpose. think North
Yakima is bound to be wool center.
Indeed, the Northern Pacific Railway
Company is determined to bring this
about. The company has reduced the
freight on wool to this city to one dollar
from the former rate of five dollars a ton
from the lower end of the valley.
Fl. B. Scudder-The establishment of
a beet sugar refinery here by d. C. Cor.
bin is very likely. He has furnished
me seed enough to plant an acre and
half and l am distributing it to re-
liable growers 10 make complete test
of the adaptability of Yakima soil,
which have no doubt will prove sue.
cessful.
Miles Cannon-My sister who eft
here for her home in Wibeaux, Montana,
writes me that snow storm and bliz-
greeted her arrival home from the sunny
vale of Yakima.
Doc Coe-Have you heard from B4lti-
more? Nine thousand majority is what
my old town gives for democracy. 1t
has gone 10000 republican, but ring
rule has caused land slide which
places it soidly in the democratic column
Fred Mathewson-! would like to see
large stone bank on the opposite cor
ner from the depot with sign bearing
the legend Commercial Cable" This
would give an air of importance to the
town attractive to travellers 1t is
drawing card.
John Schuer-I recovered from the
rheumatism, and in the worst part of
the year, after taking three bottles of
CDR" Sam Chappells rheumatism cure,
and feel like a new man.
John J. Rudkin-It is not generally
known that the Olney boys on the res
ervation are nephews of ex.Attorney
General Olney, who is prominently men
toned for the democratic presidential
nomination.
Prof. II. f. McBride-,ln the success
full conduct of n newspaper one has not
only to be diplomat, but politician
as well.
Col. Fred Miller-rhe pops nearly all
voted the republican ticket at the recent
municipal election in Spokane and, as a
democrat, am in favor of going it alone
after this.
Hugh Sinclair-I think thu people OF
North Yakima do not thoroughly under
stand the new school proposition that
they will soon be called to vote upon.
Should the question carry it is not the
intention of the board to build a $l5,-
900 structure, as many suppose, but
