Conflicting Opinions.

Mrs. y. :. Johnson, OF the hotel Yak
ina in an interview with a HERALD re-
porter bearing on the hotel business this
spring as compared with last years re-
suits at this period, was exceedingly en-
phatic in her assertion that the travel
through the city, judging from the Yak
ima's register, was prominently greater
than the past years experience. "The
hotels business has been better this
spring" said Mrs. Johnson, than at
any other time since my advent to the
city"
How do you account for this fact?'
at is simply sequel to the general
prosperity OF the country and the SPLEEN
did growth OF the Yakima valley which
has reputation throughout the whole
country. Travelling men from the far
eastern states tell me of how the people

section OF the Evergreen" state and of
those who come to look at the country
none express themselves except in the
highest praise for the future prospects
of the Yakima valley.
On the other hand NJ. B. Miles,
OF the hotel Bartholet, has an
opinion at variance with the proprie-
tress of the Yakima hotel, and which is
in substance that only 80 per cent of
last years immigration has stopped in
the city this spring.
He says there has been a very great
decrease in the travel as shown by his
registers of last spring and he attributes
it to the exhorbitant values placed upon
farm land in this valley.

to buy farm has either got to possess a
