expires with this Congress. will stand for
reelection. If he concludes to make the
fight ii will be as the representative of the
Administration and all that the Admins

strongest free silver States in the Union,

in this column, the Philadelphians have

which Mark Hanna had expected to re-

void where there should be stacks of shin

out for the committee. of which Senator
Shoup, Assistant Postmaster General

members, has collapsed. Where the

confronts the Republican managers. Ding

passage OF the gold currency bill the ma

The Yakima Valley.

The Northwest Horticultural in it's last

scriptive article has the following to say
of this irrigated portion OF Washington:
From the desert of 10 years ago to the
thousand or more productive fruit and
alfalfa farms of today is the change in
the Yakima Valley made possibl through
the excellent irrigating facilities and by
means OF railway transportation. The
county is in hourishing condition be-
cause crop failures are scarce and the
markets within reach usually very fair.
The fruit. alfalfa hay, potatoes. live stock
consisting principally of sheep and cattle,
is of far greater amount than the most
optomistic resident dared predict few
years ago. Like the Wenatchee valley
progressing in like manner, it is centrally
located so that for local shipping, pro-
ducers have choice of the Puget Sound
and Spokane markets. A large share of
the cream and butter finds its way to
Spokane while hay and fruit are shipped
in large quantities to the Sound. Some
fine communities being built up are com
posed OF an excellent class Of eastern
farmers. The valley is but an example
of other irrigated sections in the Pacific

Our Chief Executives have been poorly
