On Wednesday Acting Postmaster

On Wednesday Acting Postmaster
Feehter received a letter from Congress
man Jones to the effect that when the
appointment OF successor to the late
Postmaster Sperry is made, it will not
be for the unexpircd term, but for per-
iod OF four years. This is believed by
some to initiate against the interests OF
Mrs. Sperry, who is an applicant, and
who has number OF friends working to
secure her appointment. Some feeling
has been developed among the latter ov-
er the fact that protested friends OF the
late postmaster are the most active in
their efforts to step into his shoes.
Aside from those mentioned elsewhere,
two more candidates have developed.
They are Col. W. +. Prosser and Col. J..
:. Hewlett.
For the year ending January 81, the
stamp sales 81 the North Yakima postof-
flee aggregated $l1,l27.97. As carrier
systems are established where the re-
ceipts amount TO $4,000 or more, it is
thought that with the showing made for
the fiscal year ending March 81, that the
department will grant authority for the
employment of carriers. The business
OF the office is increasing 50 rapidly that
the present force is inadequate to per-
form the work promptly, and an appli-
cation has been made for additional

A YAKIMA INDUSTRY.
Something About the Marble Works 10 this Cit,
the People do not Realize.


the People do not Realize.
North Yakima has in the marble
works of I. A. Davis an institution in
which it should feel satisfaction. There
is probably not another town in Wash
ington, and nowhere outside of the larg-
est cities::of the coast, works that are as
completely up-to-date in the style OF
work executed, and the quality of stone
and marble used as can be found in this
city.
Mr.. Davis has on exhibition a number
of specimens, principal among which is
the rustic work carved from Tenino
stone. 1t must be seen to be appreciat-
ed. There is the old stump, showing
the knots, the bark and the chips from
the woodman's axe. Another handsome
specimen is a pile OF washed boulders
through the crevices OF which are grow
ing long fern, leaves and lily pads.
Dame Nature could hardly be more ar
tistic nor more perfect.
Besides the rustic work Mr.. Davis is
displaying very fine cemetery tablets
and monumental work made from the
more durable Monticello, Quincy, YER
mont and Swedish marbles and GRANTEES.
He has for his foreman Mr.. John john
son, marble cutter who has the repu-
tation OF doing some OF the choicest bits
of stone work on the great buildings OF
the big cities OF Europe and America.
1t is certainly worth ones while to
ing some OF the handsome specimens
chiseled out of marble by master hands.
