erty Corner of 18th and
Streets.

The question of selection Of site in
this city for the proposed building for the
use Of the national organization of the
Daughters of the American Revolution has
been settled as far as the action of the
committee is concerned which was charged
with this duty The location which has
finally been determined upon after a care
full investigation, lasting for many months,
is the northeast corner Of 18th and I
streets northwest. This property was for
merly the residence of the late General

corner from that where the Army and Navy
Club house is located. 1t has an ample
frontage of 13O feet on 18th street or Far
ragut square, and. JOG feet on street, and
contains 8,S06 square feet.
The old house, which is still standing, is
surrounded by spacious grounds for city
residence, and there is stable on the rear
Of the lot. If the choice of the committee
Is approved at the coming meeting of the
national congress Of the organization then
the ground will be cleared and a building
will be erected by the society sufficiently
spacious to contain a hall where the ses-
sionS of the national congress can be held,
and also office rooms for the headquarters
Of the organization, which are established
in this city.
Mrs. Fairbanks, the president of the or
ganization, is the chairman of the site COM
mittee, and in reaching a decision in
matter Of sc much Importance to the or
ganization the committee has sought the
advice Of men familiar with property values
here and also the relative advantages of
the different properties submitted. The
committee has consulted Mr.. Charles j.
Bell, the president of the American Secur-
ity and Trust Company, and also Col.
Henry F. Blount.
1t is understood that the price fixed for
the property Is $4,000, which is something
over Sc per square foot. In the event that
this action Of the committee meets with
the approval of the congress it is the pur-
pose to erect upon this site building that
will cost in the neighborhood of $500, 600.

Suit for Damages Against Clyde BanI
COmDany Dismissed.

EDINBURGH, December 1O.-The court
of sessions today dismissed the action
brought by the Spanish minister of marine

500 damages, owing to delay in the de-
livery Of four torpedo boat destroyers,

ing to the witness the bullet that caused
the wound in the chest did not make the
mark on the arm nor the burn on the sleeve

Upon what do you base your conclu-
sions?. inquired Attorney Dohgfass:
Il object" interposedl Mrn Gould. His
conclusions must be based on experiments,
and are conjecture :. r.
DR.. Bovee was permitted ed to 3 explain 81 with
out reference to any experiments he had

when he last saw gunsh0t wound, and
that his study OF powder marks has been
connned 10 experiments made during the
past three weeks. He has been practicing
medicine for fourteen years. and is vice
president OF surgical society.
IN the opinion of DIR, Bovee there was
after receiving the wound in the chest, and

nary control of his muscles for about ten
SECONDS &c. s after the bullet entered the chest:

!; WHAT PEOPLE SAY J

G. r. Harris-I am making arrange
ments to handle more fruit this year
than ever before. buy direct from the
producers and sell to the dealers in the
smaller towns between here and the
Sound. We have good market for our
goods in Roslyn, Easton, Carbonate and
other points. Yakima fruit is almost
always given preference because it mer-
its preference. The quality is better
than that of fruit raised in any part Of
the Northwest; and as time goes on even
this excellent quality will improve and
the quantity increase. This year there
will be an immense crop of all kinds of
fruit in this valley, and all those inter-
ested in its production are making prep
arations for big harvest. The season
for shipment has already begun. Straw
berries and cherries are now being
shipped extensively, and ere long early
peaches will be ready. The prices this
year will be as good as in any previous
year, because there is no diminution in
the demand for Yakima products.

j. Sauve of Moxee-Indications were
never better for prosperous season in
the Mckee valley. Crops of all kinds
are looking fine. There will be lots of
fruit, plenty of hops, and alfalfa till you
cannot see. The frosts did little dam
age this spring, and when the season is
over you will no doubt be surprised to
see how the people over there will come
out in financial way. As to alfalfa,
there will be an immense crop of it har-
vested. Much OF it is now ready to cut,
but the rains and wind have lodged it so
that harvesting of the first crop will be
entailed with considerable labor. Well,

Fred Ornes-After spending few
weeks in Seattle looking up business
matters l returned to North Yakima
fully impressed that this is the best city
in the Northwest. Seattle is not what it
is cracked up to be. There is whole
lot of business over there, but there are
also whole lot of people who are inter-
ested in attending to all the business.
My stay in Seattle convinced me that
things are not just to the liking OF the
business men OF that city. Everything
is being worked to the fullest extent to
make the impression that the place is
unusually prosperous. Well, this is
true to certain extent, but the immi-
grafton movement to the Northwest has
overstocked the market with artisans of
all kinds, and as a consequence hun
dreds of people are hunting work. Sc
attic is for Seattle. My mission over
there was to solicit advertisements for
the State Fair premium list, but was
poorly rewarded for my labors, for it is
the impression on the Sound that the
State Fair should be over on that side OF
the Cascades.
