The Green Children's Concert.

Lovers of music will have an oppor-
tunity on Friday evening, Dec lG, of
hearing the Green children at the Chris
tan church. This quartet has been
heard in many places and their enter
tainments have never failed to please.
They have received many excellent press
notices among which we quote the fJ|-
lowing from the Goldendale Sentinel;
"a very appreciative and enthusiastic
audience was out to hear the Green
children perform at the armory hall
Monday evening. These four little tots
are wonders. There is no doubt what
ever that if Rev. Green should ever
bring these children to Goldendale again
they will draw as big house as they
deserve-every seat in the house occu-
pied. The price of admission is well
worth so cents, and was one of the very
best entertainments that has ever been
given"

AN UNEVENTFUL week
IN LOCAL MARKETS
Onions Sold for More Than $40 a Ton
Alfalfa Not Being Bought at
Any Price, on Account of
Poor Demand.

The wheat market is little easier,
but the recent furry on the Chicago
board of trade, caused by the Armour
interests dumping 100000 bushels on
the market, did not cause any change
in the conditions or price locally, one
way or the other. Tine North Yakima
Milling company is paying 79c for blue
stem and 76c for club delivered at the
mill. 1t is said that very little is being
sold at any point in the state. Other
grains remain unchanged with the ex-
ception of oats, which has advanced a
dollar ton in response to temporary
demand, the price being now S25 per
ton. Flour and all kinds of mill stuff
remain unchanged
Potatoes have been hammered down
till they are out of all shape as compared
with the earlier quotations of the season
for this years crop. They are in poor
demand at $l4 ton, and it takes a
prize spud to be worth more than that.
Some very fair sized Burbanks sold in
the local market for sl3 during the pres
ent week, and went unwillingly to their
purchasers with tears in their eyes.

TITLE is NOW PERFECT.
Lots in Modern Addition to Be Placed
on the Market.

Lying at the foot of c street. Just two
blocks from the Columbia school house
is a tract of land desirable for city res
idence lots toward which longing eyes
have been east for many years, but into
which would-be purchasers hesitated
about putting their money for the rea-
son that the owners could not get and
therefore could not give clear title.
The land in this tract is surrounded by
some of the incest homes in the city,
and in all of these the property has
been rapidly approaching in value. Lots
nearby, situated even less desirably.
have sold for from $l75 to 1925. and
these prices have not been considered
high, but the land in the tract referred
to, and which is known as Modern add
dition, has remained unplatted and I'M
sold for the reason stated. 1t will there
fore be very gratifying to the public to
know that through recent legalizing
act the railroad company was enabled to
give clear and perfect title to the land,

APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.
A Little Generosity Will Result in Hap
piness and Comfort for Many.

The Salvation Army has undertaken
to supply every deserving poor family
in the city of North Yakima with a
basket containing a good Christmas din
ner. These will be distributed on
Christmas morning. Captain and Mrs.
Richmond have investigated each and
every case reported to them, and know
that only those who are deserving will
receive the gifts prompted by the char
ity of the public. They find that there
are about fifty needy families in the
city, and in order to make up baskets
containing fifty Christmas dinners, they
will need to gather in considerable
quantity of provisions. There is no
question about the public's willingness
to donate part of these, and for their
guidance the following list of necessi-
ties is given:
so loaves of bread
so fowls-turkeys, geese, ducks or
chickens.
200 pounds of meet.
so jars of fruit.
10 pounds of tea.
so pounds of coffee.
so pounds of butter.
so quarts of cranberrics.
rs pies; also candy, nuts, fruit, toys
and cash donations. THESE will all be
gratefully received by the Army. Dona-
tions should be left at the Salvation
Army hall. 1903 North First street, on or
before Friday, December ODD.

Still, that might nave been caused by
the freshness in the onion bin. Here
there was every evidence of popularity
and good demand. One dealer thought
he had about hit the top notch of the
market last week when he paid S3S a
ton for an extra choice lot, but he went
that figure few better himself this
week, paying $4,000 ton for a small
lot, a trhe over &c a pound. There is
no reason to believe that the onion sup
ply in the county is greater than at
first estimated.
Timothy hay is the favored article
around the hay market centers. y
good, clean ton of this variety fetches
$3.50 to $l3, and the dealers will take
all of it that is offered, provided it is
clean. Glover and grain hay, each quoted
at 50 to $3.50 ton, are in fair demand,
but no one will give quotation on alfal-
ia. The dealers don't want it; they
can't use it. Their sheds and ware
houses are filled to overlooking with as
fine alfalfa as was ever raised in the
valley, but the Sound markets have an
over supply, and they don't want any
more alfalfa at the present time at any
price. Consequently there is none be-
ing bought in the city. How long this
condition will last cannot be foretold,
but it bids fair to prevail for some time
Meats and the poultry market remain
unchanged, practically. Spring chickens
are worth a cent pound more. Turkeys
are slow sellers at l2kc to l3c a pound,
live weight, but spectators are buying
up good many at this price in view of
the approaching holiday season.
