Publicly Expressed.

Siey WIN my IttIlly anu go 1Dto pus1-
ness. Probably shall start u wood
yard. received cash, $1,000 for my
place and negotiated the sale myself.
Abner Sinclair-The last winter was
short but the coolest Lever knew lin the
Natchez valley. I lost twenty .acres of
alfalfa by the freeze and wilt have to
seed again. We get usually six inches
of Ice but last winter the ice was four
teen inches thick. The ground froze to
adepth of three feet. Wehaye no trouble
with potatoes or beans volunteering as
they were all killed in the ground.
J.P. McCafferty-I suppose the school
board will soon be ordering ssnother
election to vote on the school building
proposition again. 1t will tbe beaten,
though l should be sorry to see it. The
only thing that will carry now before the
people In that line is a move to add an
ell to the Columbia school building.
There would be some opposition even to
that, but il, would carry.
Judge Beck-The papers ought to let
up on Representative Englehsrt. He
beat the old record of forty days tempta.
ton in the wilderness, for he held out
sixty days.
James Kesling-I am still populist
and stand squarely on the Omahai plat
form.
John Ree,l-I expect to see 1000 new
acres of land put in cultivation in the
SuLnyside this year. There are fif-
teen to twenty heads of families already
come in to settle and they are coming
all the time. Thomas Cooper. the Mp.
land agent is putting in 40 acres to crop.
He will be there in person this week.
Mr.. Benson is selling land every day for
Ankeny at Prosser. Settlers are paying
$40 to $50 an acre with water rights. An
keny will clear $50, 600 on his $1,000 pur-
chase of 800 acres of land and have the
pumping plant besides. Mr.. Austin, of
North Yakima will start creamery soon
at Sunnyside.
F. d. Schnebley-It will not do to
spring side issues like anti-expansion to
sidetrack the main issues of reform.
The people should get together and fight
the money and Industrial trusts. 1t is
the only way out.
Ira p. Englehart-About three-fourths
of the advertising that is done is that
much waste. The true rule is TO keep an
advertiaem ent constantly in some shape
before the people so that when one wants
the particular article he knows where to
go and get it. Fantastic and ephemersl
modes of advertising are q. wsstei of
money.
Johnnie Ryan-I have lived a good
while in Yakima and must say THE
HERALD is the best paper that was ever
published in Yakima.
ii. b. Doust-We are on the eve of
making a deal that promises a great deal
for Yakima.
Marshal Irant-I found on the railway
track the other day deadly weapon that
is worse than any slung shot and in the
hands of even child would be capable
of killing man. 1t is about foot long
of inch rubber hose filled wit shot
with wooden plugs in each end and per
fectly flexible.
W. III. Rowe-It is a sad calamity that
has befallen my neighbors on the Match
ez in the loss of their alfalfa by freezing
weather. Aside from Abner and Dan
Sinclair and Mr.. Denton. however, l
know of no other losses of the kind.
Vestal Snyder-We will not be able to
-tle our suits against the Pressey bonds
len in time for trial this term of the SUI
perior court, which begins April 18th.
II
close of the term in time to settle a de-
murrer.
Fred Hall-We need about three lots
centrally located and an opera house
louise built on them proportionate to the
seds of the growing city. The last
lstrel troupe demonstrated for the
1dredth time how inadequate our
sent stage facilities are.
Postmaster Sperry-This fiscal quarter
1ows we are $500 in excess of the max.
lum amount necessary to make this
st Office second class Office under the

Nm. Lee, Sr.-It does seem to me that |
Wenss people could employ their |
oe better than litigating about their
mt irrigation. They could club to-
her with their teams and go up to |
2ppy Hudson's place, where nature |
has already done the greater part of the
rk and build dam, with proper en-
eering precautions, that would fur
lIsn water enough to make that lbeauti-
Jul and fertile valley blossom as the
rose for all time to come.
J. III. Timm-I was offered the Bartho-
