BIG WHEAT CROP.
Washington will Produce 100000 Bush
els This Year.

John Scott, we'll known Walla Walla
grammar, was in Tacoma a few days
ago and to Ledger man said there is
very little wheat in the warehouses OF
the valley at the present time and not
much in the hands OF the farmers.
81 was talking with Joe McCabe, gener-
al manager of the Washington & Column
bia River railroad, few days ago." he
said in an interview, "and he informed
me that with favorable conditions con-
tinuing the wheat crop of the Walla
Walla country this year would be 25 per
cent greater than it was last year. This
will give us the greatest crop in the his
tory OF the valley
"The cause of the increase is addi-
tional acreage and splendid weather con-
ditions to the present time, promising a
very heavy yield to the acre. We have
had an abundance OF rain and, what is
better, it came at the right time. The
nights have been cool with the exception
OF last Saturday and Sunday, and these
conditions have brought the crops out in
splendid shape. At the time of planting
the ground was in good condition, and if
we only have little more rain in June
we will come up fully to Mr.. McCabe' s
estimate"
Crop reports received by grainmen
from all other parts of the state show
practically the same state OF affairs.
Those who are in position to Judge, es-
innate at this time the total wheat crop
OF the state, for the season Of 1901, at
from 100000 to 100000 bushels.
Should this be maintained Washington
will have record year this season and
one far in advance of any in the past.
In every section of the wheat growing
districts rains have come at the right
time and the ground is in splendid con
dition to produce good Weld. The only
exception to this state OF affairs is on
the lowlands in the western counties. In
some OF these there has been more rain
than was needed, but it is not thought

Shipping Strawberries.

the harvesting OF the strawberry crop
began last week in earnest and ship
ments to the Sound cities are being made
daily. The first big lots for shipment
have come from the Mckee section.
They are fine in quality and as large as
the usual berries for early market.
Other localities have been furnishing
berries in large quantities and in few
more days it is expected Yakima growers
will commence to make unusually large
consignments to the Sound cities. 1t is
expected the crop will be larger and finer
this year than ever before.

DECORATION DAY.
The Soldiers Dead Were Remembered Rever
entity In This City.

Decoration Day was appropriately and
reverently observed in this city last
Thursday. 1t was beautiful day, cool
and pleasant, and the countryside
turned out to vie with the city in pay
ing homage to those the dead and the
living who took part in the war between
the north and the south. A large num-
Der OF people came to the city to take
in the proceedings of the day. At 8 a.
m. the G. A. X. post in body were
taken to Tahoma cemetery to decorate
the graves. This work did not require
long time, for there are not many old
soldiers graves in that cemetery never
theless those that are there received the
fullest glory of the offerings OF flowers.
In the afternoon is when the regular
exercises took place. At 2 p. m. Com
pany c of the state militia, headed by
the band, marched from their head
quarters on Front street to the junction
of Second with Yakima avenue, where
they were met by an even fifty veterans
who had formed in line and were wait
in for an escort. With the band pre-
ceding, playing "The star Spangled
Banner" they marched up Yakima
avenue to Front street, thence out Front
street to A street and down that thor
oughfare to Larson's Theatre, where a
well arranged program was carried out
before a packed house.
Music in the theatre was furnished
first by the band, then by chorus ar
ranged especially for the occasion.
The regular G. A. r. exercises were
carried out on the stage in full view of
the large audience. Mrs. Earnest
Woodcock of the Woodcock academy at
Ahtanum gave an excellent recitation.
She was followed by Miss Barnett of the
same place by Il recitation appropriate
to the occasion. The Grafton of the day
was made by Hon. w. L. Jones, who oc-
casioned considerable applause by refer
ing to the valor of the American soldiers
and the greatness of the United States.
He spoke particularly about the objects
of Memorial Day and about what effect
it had on the rising generation. His
tribute to the old veterans who sat be-
fore him was full of reverence and pa
thos, and his remarks that the section
alism which had long been the dividing
line between the north and the south
was no more, met with hearty approval
This closed the G. A. r. exercises of
the day. While this was going on, how
ever, the high school ball team and
picked nine OF the town PLAYED ball at
Capitol hill, resulting in a score of 81 to
5 in favor OF the picked club.

One Of Yakima's warm friends re-

that Yakima was keeping very watch

as the reason that many of the Yakima
people are firmly OF the opinion that
at an early day Ellensburg would excel
any town in central Washington.-El-

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Half the men in the world wouldn't
be married if it had MT been fol
some other woman.
There are plenty of women who
are MT pigeon-toed, but mighty few
who aren't knock kneed.
1t sounds awful nice to talk about
q mans wealth of love, but that kind
does mt buy any mutton chops.
Before she marries a man, a ,wom-
an may care a whole lot to have him
look like a god; but after she has
got him what she most cares about is
not to have him get up cross in the
. morning.
When they are engaged q man
can't think of anything so prosaic as
what his future wife knows about
things to eat; but after they are
married he'll raise thunder if he can't
give cards and spades to the best
cook on earth.-New York Press.

NEW SHIPS FOR BRITAIN
Include Three Monster BattIeships
Of 5000 Tons Each.

LONDON, July 5.-In the house of
commons today Arnold-FOrster, the sec
rotary of the admiralty, announced that
the years shipbuilding programme in
cludes three battleships of a new i'm
proved class, six cruisers of the Mon
mouth class and ten improved torpedo
boat deStroyers.
The battleships will be of 1880 tons,
and twenty feet longer than those of the
Formidable class. Their indicated horse
power will be 1S,000, and their speed 1872
knots. The armor of the new battleships
Will be a belt eight to nine inches thick.
A peculiar feature of the new ships will
be the siX-inch guns, not mounted III
separate easements, but enclosed in a
battery with SeVel-inch armOT. The
ships armament will consist, for for
ward fire, of two tWelVe-mcn guns, two
9.2-inch guns and two siX-inch guns.
The aft fire guns will be of the same
formidable character. 1t is thought
these ships VIII compare faVorably with
anything building by any European pow
er. The new ships VIII be named King
Edward, The Dominion and the Common
wealth, to commemorate the great sup
port rendered TO king and country by the
two great branches CT the kindred race.
The cruisers will be of $500 tons, and
will have a speed of % knots Their
Armament will be heavier than the Mon
mouth S. 1t is believed that the cruisers
which are about to be laid down will be
equal to anything likely to be brought
against them.
The torpedo boat destroyers will be of
stronger construction.
In regard to hospital ships, the sec
rotary of the admiralty said Great Brit
ain now had in the Mediterranean,
through the generosity of an American
citizen (Bernard Baker, president of the
Atlantic Transport line), the well equip
ped Maine.
All the new ships will be fitted with
wireless biography, as will also the Brit
ish warships as they come in for re-
pairs.
Efforts are being made to overcome the
arrears in shipbuilding, and, the secre-
t2ry added, the government is now able
to supply guns as they are needed.
The secretary of the admiralty also
said there was an absolute determina-
find the best type of boiler and the
government was watching with inter
est German experiment of combining
cylindrical and water tube boilers in the
same ship.
In the house of lords today the Earl of
Selborne, first lord Of the admiralty, in
a statement on the present naval posi-
ton of Great Britain. said that the re-
mainder of the year 1901 would witness
the completion of three armored cruisers
OF the Cressy class, four first-class bat
tleships of the class of the Formidable,
and two first-class battleshps of the class
of the Campus.
Lord Selborne said the first nalf of
1902 would see the completion of two
more vessels of the Cressy class two
others of the Formi Bile class one arnor-
ed cruiser of the Monmouth class and
three armored cruisers of the Drake
class.
The first lord of the admiralty added
that the total number of deStroyers built
or building was 113. and of the five sub
marine vessels already ordered the first
would be ready for trial next Septem-
