! WHAT PEOPLE SAY. !

r. N. Harrison-I am building
movable panel fence so as to utilize my
alfalfa field to the best advantage for
hogs. There is big money in hogs if you
have the milk and alfalfa. kept an &C.
count on one Poland. China SOW last year
and her offsprings brought me $l71. OF
course the conditions were favorable and
made everything count in the way of
careful attention. Three weeks Of grain
feeding was sufficient to harden them.
Mrs. s. o. Morford-I am operating
the Natchez ranch this season, the home
ranch at Old Town being leased. NY
Natchez ranch is all hay and therefore
much easier to manage than the more d.
versified farm near town. l think the
hay proposition lie all right, too, and
that there is more money in it than in
any other kind of farming.
John NJ. Lowery, Ahtanum-It will be
thirty years next month since l arrived
in Yakima. journeyed across the
plains from Tennessee making only one
stop, that being at The Dalles. When
arrived here Yakima was very sparsely
settled. There were two stores at Yak
ina City one kept by Chas Schanno and
the other by o. d. and Sumner Barker.
l think there was blacksmith shop
late Judge Nelson lived on the Natcheez
and on the Wenas the settlers we're David
Longmire, Mr.. Henson, Leonard Thorp
and the father OF John and Cliff Cleman.
On this side of the river Martin Vaughn
and Walter P. Mabry were all the set
tiers that can recall.
Will Dixon-I am staunch republi.
can but believe the party has made a
great mistake in its Philippine policy and
l am satisfied that there are few repub.
icans but what would give voice to sim
liar sentiments if they spoke from their
nnermost feelings. We are borrowing
constant trouble but see no other way
than to 60 ahead now.
DR.. ?. Frank-During my recent visit
to Spokane | met Rev. Utz and Harry
Voorhees,. former citizens of Yakima.
The latter is eking out living as adver-
Using solicitor on the Chronicle.
Henry Stone-On Saturday last
measured the alfalfa on my place on the
Mckee and it averaged 3 feet, s inches in
height. 1t is very heavy and will go 81
to tons to the acre at the first cutting.
G. ). Rankin or W. T. Clark will carry
me out in my statement. also have q
small patch of wheat that feel confident
will yield sixty bushels to the acre. 1t is
as thick as the hair on dogs back. l
have never seen anything to equal it.
Walter j. Reed spent couple of
days in Gle. Elum during the past week
and found that the work OF developing
the mines in that section of the country
is being carried on to much greater ex-
tent than ever before. There is q large
force of men at work on the Ida Gilmore,
and saw mill is also being operated
there to supply the necessary timbers.
The Young syndicate is carrying heavy
pay roll, while the work on the Swauk
and in the Lynch mines is Of more ex-
tensiye character than in past years. l
am convinced that the richness of the
mines and the solidity of the country in
mineral way will be effectively demon
onstrated this season, and that it will not
be long before some of the quartz claims
will become dividend payers.
DR.. G. j. Hill-Corbett is as pretty a
boxer as the world ever saw, and he has
wonderful skill in eludlng blow, but
the trouble with him is that he hasn't
got the sand. He won't stand the gaffs.
Hit him one "chug" and he Is dead to
the world. He is scietitic boxer, but
not fighter.
A. S. Paul-Some of the local papers
were in error last week in stating that
Mr.. Mccoy was found in the early morn.
