A Large Order of Fruit Boxes.

It is said that the largest order ever
placed in the state of Washn ston for
fruit and berry boxes was placed by Miles
Cannon, of the Tacoma q st. Paul Lum-
Der company, at their yard in North Yak
ina last week. This would indicate two
things, namely, that the company does
not fear the effects on the fruit from the
late alleged freeze and that the Grsy's
Hsrbor fruit boxes are in great demand
by the shippers, they being not only bet
ter. but about five per cent lighter than
any other fruit boxes on the market.

A PUBLIC NECESSITY.
New Opera House. Convention Hall and Armory
Wanted-Steps Taken to Put the En-
terrrise In Shape.

general expression Of opinion of cit
liens interested leads to the conclusion
that new public entertainment hall will
be among the new improvements now
going on in Yakima. Members OF the
Odd Fellows order have interested them
selves In the matter and it is understood
that the subject of building new armory
will be brought up before the CONNER
cial club at it's next regular meeting.
The local militia will, it is said, soon he
compelled to seek other quarters for their
armory hall. The state will pay $40 per
month, for the next two years, toward
the rental Of an armory, and an effort has
been made to negotiate the purchase of
the vacant lot adjoining the two lots
owned by the Odd Fellows, diagonally
opposite the Hotel Yakima. and erect
one-story frame building, rs feet frontage
for an opera house, convention hall and
armory. The needed lot belongs to the
estate of relative of II. B. Scudder and
1t will be year or more before the es-
tate is settled. The building proposed
would only be temporary affair for q
few years, until the growth of the city
justifies q costlier structure. II the lot
could be leased for term of years the
site would certainly be an eligible one
and the armory building would supply
want that is apparent to every one.

BRIGADIER'S ISLAND CLANS.
The Famous Breed Nearly Exter-
minated by the Cold weather
of February.

The famous breed of fat clans which
dwell in the sandy flats on the east and
south shores of Brigadier's island. was
nearly cXterminated by anchor icc dur
ing the cold snap ia February. When
j. Montgomery Sears. of Boston, the
owner of the island. was informed Of
the fact he engaged an expert in clam
culture and sent him to the island with
orders to restock the flats at any price.
Brigadier island has been owned by
the Sears family since 1T42. when Da-
vid Sears received il as reward for
services rendered to the British col
onies prior to the great war which
drove France from the new world.
Sears asked for the island. because he
knew it produced the biggest and
sweetest clans that could be found on
the Atlantic coast Every year since
the grant was made 80 barrels of the
latest clans that grew on the island
have been sent to Boston as tribute.
Almost every distinguished man who
has lived in America for the past $50
years has had barrel of CLANS from
Brigadier's island. The records show
that George Washington had ten bar
rels while he was president and two
supplementary barrels after his re-
tirement to Mount Vernon.
John ADAMS seems to have been a
great favorite with the Sears family
of his day. He was president only four
years, yet in that time they gave him
% barrels of clans. For some reason
jefferson got only three barrels during
his eight years of office Madison and
Monroe had eighr barrels each. Jack
son had four barrels. but John Quincy
Adams received - barrels while he
was president and seemed to like them,
because he sent several letters OF
thanks. After Taylor was elected pres
iGent the clam tribute to the white
house came at the rate Of a barrel a
year, the goods reaching Washington
during lent. Last week barrel was
sent to President Mckinley, the third
he has received since he was inaugu-
rated.
The blizzard which visited Maine in
the middle Of February coated the
clam flats six inches deep in anchor ice,
soldering up the pores in the sand
and smothering all the shell fish. When
the anchor ice thawcd moro than 1000
barrels of dead clans were lying upon
the fats, which were haunted by crows
and sea birds for days. The poultry
keepers of Searsport and stockton
hauled away more than 1880 barrels OF
clam shells and ground them for feed.
The average output Of clans from
Brigadier's island flats has been from
1000 to 1.200 barrels year. Five or
six years must elapse before the bedp
can be restocked.-N. y Sun

A ROlISing RaIIy.

North Yakima Endeavorers turned out
in force Tuesday night to hear the
speaking of Rev. Louis s. Bowerman
and the singing of Mr.. w. T. Elwell,
both of Seattle, at the Christian church.
The meeting was held in the interests of
the State convention to be held in Seattle
June 22-25. The addresses were excel
lent and the bass solos of Mr.. Elwell will
be pleasing recollection to all. There
will be reduced rates to the convention
and doubtless many will avail themselves
of the privilege of hearing the big chorus
of 600 voices, as we'll as the eminent
speakers from abroad. A great uplift is
in store. The speakers will cover the
leading points Of Eastern Washington
and Idaho before returning to the Sound
country.

Democrat for Gear.

Red Oak, Aug. 2s.-Joe Marley, of
this place, has agreed to accept the dem
ocratic nomination for senator in this
district on the condition that if elected
he shall support Gear. Marley arrived
home Thursday from the Philippines.
He was member of Company Nj, Fiji
ty-first Iowa. and was discharged be-
cause of a severe wound from which he
is still lame. The democrats some time
ago determined to nominate him for
Senator against Junkin, provided he
would agree. if elected, to support Gear
for senator. To this he agreed. The
convention will be held soon and will
give him an enthusiastic nomination
There is a large republican element
here and in Mills county which would
like to oppose Junkin in the belief that
lie is not good Gear man il it could
be done safely. 1t is counted that
Markey's pledge to support Gear will
free many republicans, who will vote
for him in preference to Junkin. who
lis regarded as half-hearted Gear man
at best. but so strong in the district
that the Burlington road doesn't dare
to fight him too openly.

Gen. Dyrcnforth Explains the Atti-
tude of the U. v. U. In Politics.
Des Moines, Aug. 26.-"There is moth
ing more erroneous than the idea that
the Union Veterans Union is hostile to
the administration of President McKin-
ley said Commander-in-Ch Chief Robert
Dyrenforth last evening. There was
no intention or disposition to arraign
the administration at all. 1t did
not seem desirable to go so far as to en-
dorse any administration or party. Per-
sonally i am republican and am a
warm friend of Maj. Mckinley But
the Union Veterans Union is in politics
in a non-partisan way We are in poll
itics for the benefit of the old soldiers.
and can not afford as matter of policy
to tie up to any party. If the party that
is in power is for the old soldier we are
friendly to it. If 1t is not we are against
that party. That is the reason that we
did not want to endorse any party, but
there is no bitterness, as has been
said"
The statement was made by Gen. Dy-
renforth to correct an impression given
out by the publication of certain alleged
disturbances in the meetings of the en-
campment on Thursday. Commander
Dyrenforth is authority for the state
ment that these reports are untrue. In
consequence of their publication meet
