North Yakima Milling Company has
for years operated most successfully
under the milling in transit tariff, a
large Touring mill. 1t is now, and has
been since harvest, running night and
day, with an output of $50 barrels of
flour, besides the usual quantity Of
rolled barley, chopped feed, cereals, etc. :,
every day. The mill is well equipped,
thoroughly housed and operated by
water power. The company has offices
and ware house now being enlarged to
cover ground space 50xl70 feet on the
main avenue of the city.
Again, there is not stick of timber
within many miles of North Yakima,
yet the Cascade Lumber Company has
under construction large saw and
planning MILL and the waters of the
Yakima river and its tributaries will be
utilized to bring down from the forests,
logs to feed its saws. A box factory
will probably be operated in connection.
North Yakima within few years has
been transformed from struggling
country village into a modern city of fine
business blocks, schools, theatre, hand
some homes, with light, water and tel
ephones. The city now claims a popu-
lation of 5000 and evidences of growth
are to be seen on every hand. The
various dealers in lumber, building
material are carrying more stock than
ever before, and say the outlook for
building in both city and country was
never so good. The most important i'm
provement will be the new building of
the Yakima National bank to be con-
structed of stone and brick with heavy
plate glass fronts and the most modern
appointments for ventilating, heating
and lighting The last call statement
OF this leading financial institution,
shows deposits of s6S9, 7l6.Sl and re-
scources OF $775, 1876, which is a good
index to the financial condition of the
community.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE
THINK OF NORTH YAKIMA.
Hardly Week Goes BY That Some
Enterprising Periodical Doesn't
Pay Their respects to the CITY.

The present prosperity and unmistak-
able growth of the city of North Yakima

Northwest. Not visitor but what

pressed with the hustle and hustle OF
its citizens, and not former North Yak

or even two years gone by but what is
astounded and grstitied at the marvel
Gus development in the town.
These facts are leaking out, and the
people all over the country are talking
OF the great Yakima valley.
When the rans-continental trains
stop at the station, tourists alight to ask
questions concerning the city and the
surrounding country. This is but nat
ural sequence when we reflect upon the
fact that many OF these people have
Just left section of the country perhaps
covered with snow, or where the people

periencing billiards. and cyclones. Do
we wonder then when they pass through
a region of almost perfect climatic con-

union, that the tourists should

This is the garden spot of the Ever
green State and as the days and months
go by it is becoming more, and much
more recognized as such.
The West Coast Trade has to say
North Yakima, the good all year round
town, never enjoyed more prosperity
and brighter outlook than she does at
present. North Yakima is fortunate in
location-in rescources-and in men
who are smart enough to see the oppor-
tunities here presented for improvement
and production, and make the best OF
them. Irrigation has accomplished
wonders in the once arid lands of the
Yakima valley, which is now thickly
dotted with orchards, gardens and small
farms, whose prodigious production of
fruit, vegetables, hay and hops, have
made the valley famous. The irriga-

A Narrow Escape Perhaps From Death

Little Kathleen. the bright and beau
tiful one year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. N. l.. FAINT, of Midway. met with
what might have terminated in a seri-
GUS and perhaps fatal accident on last
Saturday morning. In toddling over
the floor she picked up loose steel
heel tap, about an inch long with two
pronge or teeth on one side, which
happened to be lying in her way,
which she put in her mouth and made
an attempt to swallow, but fortunately
it's mother, who was near by, discover
ed the child was choking with some
thing and ran to it's relief, and thrust
ing her fingers in the child's mouth
found the heel tap lodged in it's throat,
the prongs of the tap being caught in
the tonsils. In pulling the hee: ap out
the child's throat was slightly lacera-
ted causing the injured parts to bleed
freely for shortwhile. The little one
is all right now, and of course is in
blissful ignorance of the miraculous
escape it had perhaps from death. Mrs.
FAINT of course was terribly frightened
during the ordeal of getting the heel
tap out of her baby's throat, and her
nerves we're very much unstrung for
several hours afterwards. Her advice
is to keep dangerous things out of the
baby's way.-keOwee Courier.
