THE YAKIMA IDEA.

The proposition made by The HER
AID regarding the welcome home of
Company + has taken root. l. is pro-
posed by prominent business men to
call public mass meeting to which rep
resentatlve Red Cross ladies' will be in
,ited to take action in the matter. The
meeting will be presided over by Con-
eressm IN Jones, it is said, and plan
formulated whereby badges may be Sc
cured and sold at fifty cents each, the
proceeds to be devoted to bringing our
BOYS home from Seattle in body and
suitably entertaining them on their ar
rival This - labor OF love, duty and
patriotism. The valor OF our soldiers
has shed lustre upon the stale OF Wash e
ington and Yakima county that time
alone can dim. Yakima sent her sons
to war in glow of enthusiasm and she
will welcome them home with undimin-
ished fervor and increasing pride. 1t will
and child will glory in being apart OF,
having contributed mite towards the
fulfillment of the plan. The badges will
be eagerly bought and worn and will be
at once souvenir and inspiration.
Yakima has no Ankeny to contribute
hls munihcence tothe hosptable scheme,
but she has hundreds who will gladly
swell the sum total necessary TO bring
the troops home in style.

ABOUT FREE GRAZING.

In another place there appears startling
intelligence which will strike this com
munity with profound concern. The
Orcgonian sneers at Binger Hermann,
the commissioner of the general land
office. 1t intimates that because the
stockmen have more votes than the for
ests he has thrown the weight of his Off
cial influence on the side of the stockmen.
This is untrue as the question is not
political one. 1t is question about
which the people OF Oregon and Wash
ington stand as a unit. 1t involves Il
great industry, to destroy which at the
behest of mere sentimentalists would
be an administrative biunder worse than
a crime. 1t has been curse to the Pacific
slope that narrow and provincial men
who cannot look beyond the environ
ment of New England or some other
insulated territory of the east have been
placed in power over the vast concerns
of this coast, often to its Geriment. The
plea that the permits to stockmen to Craze
tAtif bduus All W HC1e Ou INC IIOuutdlh
sides of the Cascades will destroy the
forests is foolish, especially when the
alternative is offered these stockmen to
lease or buy the land. The grazers have as
much interest in preserving the ranges
free as they would were they the owners
OF the mountain reserves in fee simple,
They are as soicitous to care for the
ranges as the husbandmen of the valleys
are to protect their farms from abuse that
would imperil or destroy them. This
whole opposition is born OF ignorance
and sentimentality. 1t behooves our SEN
ators and congressman to protest against
e.mischievious aud ruinous policy which
will Danish or bankrupt our stockmen
and impoverish great communities. The
order revoking the grazing permits should
itself be revoked at once.

HOPS ARE HOPS.
Picking Season Now 0n-Thousands Engaged
In Harvesting the Crop

In Harvesting the Crop.
The continued wet weather on tie
Sound and in Oregon, while unfortunate
for the growers there, will of necessity
Iedound to the profit OF Yakima grow
ers. Hop men state, according to the
Weekly Crop Bulletin, that the effect of
the rains on the west side has been to
make the hops soft and fluffy, whereas
they should be firm and compact.
The WaterviIle, n. Y, HoU Reporter,
under date of September /, gives
gloomy review of the crop prospects
there The hot, dry weather seems to
have failed to develop the hops properly,
and mold, blight and lice have played
havoc with some OF the yards. The ar
ticle concludes:
No one disputes that this is very critical
time for the crop but all are hoping for the
cerned hops are coming down lighter than was
anticipated.
The Cooperstown, y. Y, Republican
says:
Hop picking is in full blast, and the crop is
coming down very far short Of every ones ex-
last years yield in fact this is the smallest crop
picked in this state in 40 years, except the year
when they were failure
The Kentish Observer, Eng gives
similarly gloomy accounts of English
hops. The latest news of German hops
from Nuremburg is that Altogether
there is a remarkable tendency for mid
ding and inferior hops"
The best informed growers put the
Weld of Yakima county, which has been
largely overestimated at 10000 TO $4,000
bales. 49,, cents was offered for earlies
today.

The Tables Turned.

Birds, we know, are sometimes train
ed to fire off pistols, as well as to per-
form other unusual feats. but it is not
often that a wild bird in the woods
shoots a man with his own gun, as re-
lated in ''South American Sketches"
by Robert Crawford.
A pavo del monte, bird of Uruguay
not unlike the turkey, had been winged
by hunter. 1t fell to the ground, but
was at once on its feet and ran away.
Throwing his gun hastily aside. the
hunter started in pursuit, and a game
of hide and seek ensued.
In one of its doublings and turnings
the bird passed over the gun, which
was lying on the ground. and its foot
CHANGED to strike against the trigger of
the undischarged barrel, the hammer
of which, in the hurry of the moment.
had been left at full cock.
There was loud report. followed by
an exclamation of pain from the man.
The bird escaped, and the luckless
hunter had an ugly wound in the fieshy
part of his leg to remind him for weeks
afterward of the adventure.
