formed by the Yakima teachers with
Prof. Plumb as president and Miss Mary
Young as secretary. 1t is the purpose
to hold two general meetings during the
year, one at this place and the other at
Prosser. A reading circle was also formed
by the association to raise funds for a
circulating professional library.
The resolution by the neurology COM
mittee of the institute mentioned but

year, to wit: Misses Katherine Hayden
and Grace Bullock. A resolution was
also passed, commencing the county
superintendent in his efforts to make
the institute success, and also for the
time of converting it instead of in the
summer months.

! Manufacturing Site

z Rumors have been current for the past
few days about the purchase of part of
the Matterson ranch at the foot of the
water company's waste ditch by North
Yakima parties for the purpose of build
ing thereon some kind OF a manufact-
uring plant. Who the parties are is
known, but they wish their names 10 be
be kept quiet for the present. The rum
ored sale has not been effected vet. The
parties want to buy strip 300 feet wide
and the full width OF the Matterson
farm, but he will not sell, for the reason
that the intending purchasers will not d.
vulge to him the purpose to which they
want to put the land. 1t is the under

Crossings pisappear.

The residents of that part OF Mckee
avenue between A. and B. streets com
planned to the city marshal today about
the disappearance of the lumber that
was used in the street crossings. There
were two good crossings at A. and B
streets, which were taken up while the
grading is being done. The lumber in
both OF these has been carried off, and
the marshal is now on the hunt for it.
This practice has been going on all
summer and thousands of feet Of lumber
that has been paid for by taxpayers OF
this city has disappeared When new
crossing is needed or bridge is to be
repaired new lumber must be purchased.
Some OF this kind OF material has been
saved lately at the instance OF the city
marshal.

n. r. IMPROVEMENTS.
Ten Miles Of New Sidlngs Between Paseo and
Cle-Elum Freight Division.

During the last month many import
ant improvements have been made on
the Northern Pacific railway between
Pasco and Cle-Elum. At Pasco five
miles of new sidings are being put in to
replace the old ones and a number of
other changes and improvements have
been made on the buildings. At Bad
ger, kiona, Toppenish, Alfalfa, North
Yakima and Rosa 5000 feet of new 81 l.
ings have been laid at each place. At
Cie-Elum there has been put down, or
is in contemplation, enough siding to
make a total of ten miles of new track
age. Other. sidings are in contempa-
ton to accommodate the extensive
freight business that has kept the road
contested for some time.
Since North Yakima has been made
local freight division it is expected that
some extensive improvements will be
made here, but it is not likely anything
in this direction will be done till the
main division has been changed from
Ellensburg to Gle Elum, which will be
within the next six months The inn
provements here will consist OF more sid
ings and possibly an engine shed. At
Sunnyside the residents are making an
effort to have spur built either from
Mabton or Alfalfa to tap that field.

SMALLPOX AT BEAUFORT.

Supposed to Have Been Brought
From st. Helena Island.
Beaufort, S. c., Jan. 14.-Smallpox has
appeared in Beaufort and several cases
are under treatment A case was report-
ed to the chairman of the local Board of
Health yesterday and quarantine guard
was stationed at the front gate of a ne
gro tenement, where a 1O-year-old boy is
suffering with malignant type of the
disease. The youngster spent Christmas
on st. Helena Island where the disease
is epidemic. A collector went to St.
Helena few days ago and entered
tenement belonging to his employer to
collect rent. The woman of the house
answered his summons in person, produc-
ing filthy bag containing a few coins
The collector was about to accept the
money from her when another inmate OF
the place appeared. The instant the rent
man saw the newcomer he exclaimed
MY God, case of smallpox, l don
want your money" and beat a hasty re-
treat The woman chucked and said
something about "buckra 'fraid Diet" and
went on to explain that there were
seven cases of the disease in the house
1t is reported on the streets this morn
ing that there was a negro man who
died of the disease here last night but
the rumor has not been definitely con-
firmed. The physicians of the place are
doing all in their power to prevent the
spread of the malady which thus far has
confined itself to the negro race Dr.
Barnwell, who was sent down here by the
State Board of Health, vaccinated 1875
negro school children on St. Helena Island
yesterday. and came to town last night
and obtained 200 vaccine points with
which he returned to the island at once,
to continue the vaccination. A pesthouse
will be made available dOout mile from
town in a day or two, and patients will
be taken there Meanwhile a rigid quar-
antine will be prosecuted. Strange to
relate the disease does not appear to con-
fine very many of it's victims in doors,
and II is asserted that negroes have been
observed working in the fields on ST.
Helena while afflicted with the malady.
