YAKIMA GUN CLUB
WILL HAVE STATE SHOOT.
A Meeting Called for Thursday Might
of all the Members, at the
Commercial Club Rooms.

Last Sunday morning large contin-
gent of the Yakima Gun club assembled
on the grounds at their traps Just south
OF Third street and had one of the best
shoots ever pulled off. The medal for
the champion shot of the county was
put up and won by George Stacy with
record of IA out of possible Is bird
shoot. Most all the boys made good rec
ords, w. A. Bell, T. R. Fisher, w. d.
Walker, Harry Sitton and w. l.. bigger
keeping Stacy uneasy all the way through.
Pots were made up and shot off during
the morning, most all the shooters figur.
ing in either first or second money at
different times. When the ammunition
had been exhausted all adjourned to the
parlors of the Yakima hotel where a
preliminary meeting was held, with the
result as aforesaid, viz: '"That all the
members of the club are requested to be
present at O'Clock in the Commercial
club rooms" for the purpose of deciding
upon the proper steps to be taken, and
appointing committe that will make
arrangements, to have state shoot dur
ing the state fair. If the members take
hold of this proposition and agree to pull
off a first class tournament the State
fair commissioners will unquestionably
do their part. There's no reason why
the Yakima Gun club can't make this
event one OF the most attractive features
OF the State fair. 1t stands to reason
that with proper purses offered host of
crack shots will assemble here from all
over the state, and possibly Oregon and
Idaho.
On Sunday, the 2Sth inst, prelimi-
nary shoot will be pulled off in order to
put the boys in trim for the State fair
shoot and it is the intention of the club
toinvite Ellensburg, Sunnyside and Top
penish to participate in this event.
On next Sunday morning, the eth,
at 10 O'Clock sharp, w. A. Erwin will
shoot against George Stacy for the club
medal 1t will be a twenty-five bird
contest.

Judge ]. K. Guinotte will be asked to

Mr.. Hays is very old and has grown
childish. so that his heirs think this

"The name of Lynn Hays will recall
to mary an old resident the famous
Santa Fe trail in 1857. 1t was a ride
upon which depended $64, ,0O0-a race

Lynn or his brother "Up"-and the $64,-

dust and foam, and almost spent with
the exhausted mule In front of the
bank, made his way to the cashiers
window, and secured the money a few
minutes before the bank closed. An
hour later the stage arrived with the
letter informing the bank that Russell,
Majors & Waddell, upon whom the
drafts were drawn. had failed.
The story. as it still fingers in the
memory of John G. Gage is as follows:
In 1857 John Campbell was In char rye
Of the freighter's train on the Santa

him and he and they were employed

received these drafts and the stage,
which had already gone out, carried a
letter notifying the bank that this
great firm had gone to the wall. If the
stage could only be beaten into Kan

A new source Of wealth has recently

in poetry and the Bible, ii is so rarely
seen nowadays as TO attract attention
when exhibited. 1t occurs In an ex-
tensive range OF colors-red, yellow,

green was the most common form; now
the red shades predominate. In some
parts of the West, notably at East
Sioux Falls, S. D., variety of pink
quartzite occurs which Is sold to the
trade as jasper. The supply OF jasper
still comes from Egypt and India, as 1t
did in Biblical times. Its occurrence
Is so rare that jasper is used in such
small articles of value as seals, small
vases, snuff boxes, etc.
Announcement Is made, however, of
the discovery of a deposit of Jasper OF
surprising extent in North Wales, near
the little fishing village of Pwlheli.
The amount OF Jasper at this point ap-

Increase in Ships on the Pacific Fol-
% lowed by Increase in Disasters.
The Pacific Ocean is fast losing the
reputation implied in the name given
to it by Magellan, and which it owes to
the placid appearance of its surface
when he first saw it. The change is
one of the inevitable results of the
growth of commerce. Prior 10 the dis
covery of gold in California compara-
lively few vessels sailed over its wa
ters. There were, therefore, few cas-
ualties to report. In late years, how
ever, commerce has extended in all
directions. The ocean is filling with
ships. and the disasters of the sea are
multiplying proportionately.
Along the California coast the ocean
is placid enough to retain its reputa-
tion as pacific. Storms are rare. 1t is
not often that its waters are lashed into
fury like those of the Atlantic in these
latitudes. But along the Oregon, Wash
ington, British Columbian and Alaskan
coasts there is little If any difference
between the conditions prevailing in
the Pacific from those existing in the
Atlantic ocean. Mariners now dread

Strait of Juan de Fuca, almost If not
quite as much as they do Cape Hat

lining the northwestern coast of the
continent as they do the northeastern
shores of it.
AS the Pacific ocean is gradually fill
ing with the white-winged and steam
propelled agents of commerce the ratio
of shipwrecks is correspondingly ris-
ing. Perhaps there have been more
wrecks on the Pacific coast than should
have been experienced if the same pre-
cautions against disaster had been
adopted in the navigation Of Pacific
waters as are taken in the Atlantic
ocean. The Pacific has undoubtedly
been made the graveyard of many
steam and sail vessels which were
transferred to 1t from the Atlantic
ocean because they were not consid-
cred safe to keep in commission In the
latter, under the mistaken belief that
milder weather and smoother water
were to be found here. Others have
been lost through the vicious practice
Of overlooking, the risk being taken on
account of the same error of opinion
regarding the placidity of these waters.
Sh'p-owners are, however fast learn
ing, says the San Francisco Chronicle,
that rotten hulks and overloaded craft

The growth of commerce and the in
creasing perils Of navigation resulting
from it demand the abandonment of
both.
