Sept. Z. 1902.

IbcCVIuELs
Enclosed find postal order for
subscription to the paper. which is
always welcome in our Western
home. As we have never written
to the Recorder we will write you
a few lines to give you some
idea of the West. Mynard,
our town, is situated twenty-five
miles south of Omaha. We have
had fine season. with al ahund-
ance of rain. Crops and fruits OF
all kinds in abundance. Wheat
runs from rs to 40 bushels per acre,
oats from 40 to 80, corn will break
all records, the finest ever raised in
the west. The yield will be from
40 to 100 bushels. Potatoes and
hay are a fine crop. Apples are so
plentiful that they will be very
cheap, The prices of grain here
have been very good. Corn sold
as high here in the last three
months as IS cents. but now is
worth only As, but with the enor-
nous crops more than likely will
sell at 25 cts. Wheat is very cheap.
On account Of so much wet wealth
er the wheat is very poor. 1t is
worth on the market according to
grade 25 to 40 cts. Cattle and
hogs have been the highest they
have been for 20 years. Cattle
have sold on our Omaha market as
high as 1915 per hundred and hogs
81. will send you a couple of
items from the Stock Yard Journal
of two punches Of cattle that | fed
in the last six months. That will
give you some idea of the price OF
cattle. Feeding cattle are very
high, at the present time selling as
high as l5A per hundred for good
we'll bred stuff.
Wishing the Recorder success,
am, Respectfully,
A. 5. Will.
Below we give the clippings from
the Omaha Stock Yard Journal
and from them We can reasonably
Judge that of the abundance of the
great western country Mr.. Will
has reaped a goodIy share. Mr..
Will and sons constitute firm of
breeders of fine cattle and Perch
eron horses. As to some OF his
cattle the above named Journal
says:
A Good assignment.

CONGRESSMAN ". |.
JONES RETURNS HOME.
Talks of His Trip from WashingtO n
City and Discusses the Pol
itical Situation in the East.

Hon. Wesley l.. Jones returned home
last week with his family from Wash
ington City. They stopped at few
points of interest along the way. Mr..
Jones expresses himself as pleased to
get home and has been very busy greet
ing old-time friends and renewing &C.
quaintanceship among his constituents.
A HERALD reporter called upon Mr..
Jones and was favored with a pleasant
chat. Speaking of his journey home
and the political situation in the east
Mr.. Jones said:
"We left Washington City on the 9Th
day of July and came directly home ex-
cept for six days stop in the Yellow
stone National Park. Our trip through
the park was most enjoyable one.
There are three particular attractions in
the park-the geysers, hot springs,
paint pots and other evidences of the
internal fires of the earth the Grand
Canyon and the fishing in Yellowstone
lake. Otherwise did not consider the
scenery particularly exceptional. The
Grand Canyon is worth the trip. 1t is
only about two miles long, that is the
attractive part. The walls are about
1900 feet high with the river rushing
and foaming at the foot like white
and blue thread. The walls look like a
composition of chalk, marble, granite
and alabaster, formed in almost every
conceivable shape-columns minarets,
spires, bulwarks, castles and almost
every kind of architecture, modern and
ancient. The colors are simply indie
scribable and most beautifully blended.
Looking upon it one realizes that more
than man was at work when it was
formed and brought forth.
Il am delighted to get back home and
pleased to see so much evidence OF pros
perity. | can scarcely realize the many
and great changes that have taken place
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1902-07-22

since last October. We certainly have
no cause of complaint. The whole coun-
try, however, is enjoying the same pros
perity though probably not to such a
wonderful degree. Improvements are
going on everywhere in the east and la
Dor is in great demand and money
cheap and plentiful.
Last session of congress was very
busy one and in my judgment a very
important one. Many measures were
enacted that we have been wishing for
for years. In special legislation | think
our state secured its share and probab-
ably more. The appropriations that
will be expended in the state during the
next year or two will amount to nearly
SO 900, 900 or about five dollars per cap
tia for every man woman and child in
the state. This was secured for rivers
and harbors, Notifications, the navy
yard and for public buildings. The
time is not far distant when We can get
a public building for North Yakima.
These appropriations are distributed
among the different states and the lar
gest places cared for first. Seattle has
been cared for. Tacoma and Spokane
are started and will be cared for before
a great while. Then the other places
will be taken up and it depends largely
upon ourselves as to when we will get a
public building.
81 secured the passage of bill eX-
tending time for making final proof in
desert land entries in this county and
also secured favorable report OF my
bill establishing fish hatchery in the
county and believe there is fair pros
poet of getting this bill passed in the
near future.
800 l enjoy the work? Yes, very
much. The only disagreeable thing
about it is to select one friend out OF a
half dozen to fill some Office.
"What of the political situation as to
presidential nominations in 1904? That
is long ways ahead and | am not much
given to prophecy; but in my judgment
ROOSEVELT will be nominated by the re-
publicans and-you may not believe it
he will be elected. The eastern demo-
Gratis will control the democratic con-
vention and the principles so earnestly
advocated in 1896 and 1900 will be rele-
gated and the western democrats VIII
be called upon to vote for the doctrines
of David B. Hill and Grover Cleveland.
Who the democratic nominee will be Is
hard to say but it looks now very much
like Hill"

Off For Camp Weisenterger

The armory was scene OF activity on
Saturday evening the occasion being the
preparations incidental to Company c
boarding the train for Camp Weisen-
berger on the shores OF American Lake.
a few miles distant from Tacoma, where
the National Guard of Washington will
have a ten days outing at the expense
of the state. The boys were in excellent
spirits and anticipate an enjoyable stay
Some of them realize, however, that It
will not be all play but that some good
hard word is expected from the com
pany. The expectation on Saturday
was that the company would board the
train at or O'Clock in the morning,
but later in the evening it was learned
that the train would not leave until SIX
in the morning and the boys slept on
their arms in the armory until The
time Of departure.

USED SAPOLIO.
Police officer O'Brien Takes Mayors
Orders 10 Heart.

Police Office Ned O'Brien is con-
valescing today from a somewhat I'M
pleasant experience of Saturday
evening. The gentleman went to
the Stringfellow barber shop for a
bath and made the usual preparations
for the dip. Now it is we'll known
that Mr.. O'Brien is not given to COM
planning. He has been a foot ball
player for a number of years and has
been toughened to hard usage of all
kinds. He was thought to be invul-
nerable and hence CONSERVATION
reigned supreme in the shop when
O'Brien shouted over the partition
of the bath room. 81 say what is
this new kind of file soap that you
fellows are furnishing" This query
was followed five minutes later by
"Say this soap is made partly of
sand. What you trying to do to a
fellow" And Mr.. O'Brien would
not be satisfied until he was given
some of the good old fashioned soap.
1t now developes that the officer was
attemping.to use cake of Sapolio
upon his natural finish and the re-
suits were not particularly pleasing.
The skin came off with the too free
application of the cake and it is said
that Ned lost more cuticle in that
bath tub than he has in all his ex-
perience on the grid iron.
The cause of the joke is some what
a question of difference. 1t is said
that Mayor Wray has given orders
that the police officers shall be bath
ed regularly twice a week with
Sapolio to fortify themselves against
Des Moines suspects as he is bound
to keep Oskaloosa above suspicion.
Mr.. Wray was interviewed about the
matter and he saws that this is I'M
true and that it was all mistake in
O'Brien's case, that the shop porter
in cleaning the tub had forgot to
take away his Sapolio and that Ned
in his haste got hold of the wrong
cake. The police claim that this ia
only Wray's way of getting out of a
bad box and there is trouble ahead
unless the order for the Sapolio bath
| is rescinded by his Honor,
