Publicly Expressed.

o. H. Curtis, Osakis, Mimi have
been IN this country about two weeks,
and must confess am agreeably sur
prised at the wonderful resources and
the splendid climate you have here.
intend to return to Minnesota and wind
up my business there and come back
here with my family to locate as soon as
l can arrange matters. Some Of my
neighbors will also want to come when
they hear what have to tell them about
your Yakima country. You may send
me THE HERALD that may keep abreast
of the growth Of the community during
the summer.
Postmaster Phillips, Mabton-The ar.
tesian we'll is down $50 feet, but work has
been temporarily suspended owing to
the withdrawal of one of the firm of we'll
borers. They have struck finty stra-

through 81 inches.

J.J. Armstrong; don't care to talk
for publication, but since an interview is
demanded, may say the Gold Hill or
Summit mining proposition is something
Yakima cannot overlook and retain her
place as the supply depot of that rich
mining region. It may be that another

Judge Stout-The foundations of our
school buildings need attention. 1 notice
during this wet weather that they are
soaking moisture and they will begin to
crumble and rot unless looked after.
They need coat Of cement and should

question he no doubt voiced the senti-
