The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1901-01-17

A correspondent of the Pasco News
Recorder from the lower end of Yakima
county says the bill to divide the county
will be one of the first ones introduced
and hopes it will be the first one to be-
come law. He grumbles that they
can run a separate county on cheaper
basis; that they pay their taxes which
are largely spent in the vicinity OF
North Yakima, and when they ask for
bridge across the Yakima river, they
are told that they don't need one as they
can wade, swim or go around. The cor
respondent further says that either the
county is too large and should be divid-
ed or larger. minded commissioners
should be secured, and that he believes
nine,tenths of the tax payers in the
eastern end Of the county are in favor
of the division.
Miss Maude Thomas, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George Thomas, was agreeably
surprised on Thursday evening of last
week, by the appearance OF abouty thir-
ty of her friends who drove up to the
family residence in a big bob-sled and
proceeded to make themselves at home.
The occasion was the birthday anniver-
sary of Miss Thomas and it was thor
oughly enjoyed by all. On the way
home Driver Curry managed to upset
the sleigh and for time it was difficult
to distinguish boy from girl in the strug-
Cling mass OF humanity. A snow bath
was the most serious result of the acct
dent.

A. Bounds, of Yakima, and ]. C. Lloyd,

marked before leaving that Mr.. Cleman

claiming to have had experience enough
in that way of travelling.
