terprise and development joined hands
throughout the valley.
The Herald has seen and chronicled
great advancement for it's section in the
past. and has sufficient of the gift of
prophecy to foretell the coming of
achievements which will far overshadow
anything yet accomplished. When all
our marvelously fertile lands, which are
susceptible of cultivation are brought
into subsection to the great king irriga-
ton, we will have one of the most thick
ly populated agricultural sections in
the United States; electric lines will
connect all the valleys, and manufac-
turing industries will come to us un-
asked.
Enterprises have been established here
within the past two years that ten years
ago would have been regarded as evil
dence' of boom excitement, but now
they are accepted as matter of course,
and create small general comment. As
the country grows and develops, de-
mand is created for some new enter
prise, and people of experience and cap
ital are not long in finding the opening
and filling the want. And thus North
Yakima and Yakima county grow and
will continue to advance until they at
tain a position and prominence not now
dreamed of by their most ardent wor.
shippers.
And the Herald will continue to
"help good thing along

ley, Rand, Bull, Sinclair, Thorpe and
Fisher.
Bonds of the clerk in $1,000, treasurer
in $1,000, marshal in $1,000, were ap.
proved.
Mayor Fechter read lengthy mes
sage, devoted principally to discus
sion of sanitation and city finances. He
advocated sewer extension, the repair
ing of macadamized streets by the APP
plication of new rock, the appointment
of a building inspector, the appropri-
ton of $1,000 per annum for the main
tenance of the public library, and stat
ed that he proposed to close the saloons
at midnight. The mayor stated that he
thought the city should have fewer po-
licemen and more scavengers, and
proper drainage system should be inau-
gurated.
He then announced the nomination of
Jas. Curran for marshal, r. X. Nichols
for justice, j. T. Kaufman for street
commissioner, Stephen Washburn for
scavenger and r. j. Carvosso for sexton.
All the nominations were confirmed,
with the exception of Mr.. Nichols, five
members of the council voting no on
the question.
The council then elected j. p. McCaf-
ferty plumbing inspector by vote of
5 for him and | for w. D. Walker, the
present incumbent.
The mayor announced that he had not
yet selected any name to present for
city engineer, and that Mr.. Wands
would continue to act for the present.
The council were notified of the cleo
ton by the fire department of G. NJ.
Hauser, chief, J. E. Merwin assistant
chief, and J. c, Liggett, secretary, and
the action was confirmed by the council.
The city attorney was instructed to
draw an ordinance empowering the
mayor to APPOINT police patrolmen, etc.
The old officers will hold over, mean
while.
The mayor appointed special com
mittee, consisting of Rand, Thorpe and
Dudley, to wait upon the new officers
of the water company and ask proper
concessions. The question of resembling

One of the finest talks at the dairy
convention was the talk on the value
and adaptability of the various grasses
for the state of Washington by Captain
Dunn's oldest son, Duncan, who has
taken the Pullman course and graduated.
Aside from the great value of the ad-
dress, which showed careful study and
research, was the object lesson of value
beyond computation what the young
men of the state can do for themselves
if they will only avail themselves of the
privileges the state and the Pullman
school of science affords them. Too
many are content to follow along in the
old way, taking no heed that this is an
age of wonderful improvement and pro-
'oss, and the young man who would
in the foremost rank must learn

He worked with the firm until 1865,
