MAKING PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
Sign Of Prosperity Noted in the East
by Mayor o. A. Fechter.

Mayor o. A. Fechter and wife re-
turned last Friday from their eastern
trip, during which they visited at Mr..
Fechter's old home in Manitowoc, Wis
consin, and later in Chicago and St.
Louis. Speaking of the trip Mr.. Fech-
ter said:
1--WE enjoyed it very much, but visit
ing scenes We mad not visited in many
years before brought many surprises.
In every section of the country were
abundant evidences of prosperity in the
way of public improvements that few
years ago would not have been attempt
ed or even countenanced. Around Man.
itowoc, for instance, every road is
graveled and carefully tended, being
kept in first class condition. The con-
sequent expenditure of public cmoney
no longer meets opposition, for all
classes of people, the farmers who haul
their produce to market and the mer-
chants in the city as well appreciate the
improved conditions. And in the cities
of that section even a greater change
of sentiment was apparent. The men
who were in favor of progressive meth
DDS and public improvements few
years ago, and who at that time met
with the greatest opposition and often
abuse are now in charge of affairs.
noticed and those who were formerly
most conservative are today the most
active in any movement that tends to
build up the value of their property
through better roads in country and
town, paved streets, etc. picked up
good many hints on these matters,
and come home full of regret that my
term as mayor was so nearly out, for If
it were not should certainly work for
some of those improvements here. AT
comparatively small expenditure
those places we visited have done so
much for appearances, and yet they had
not half the opportunity we nave, with
our wider and leveler streets. On look
ing back to North Yakima after being
in so many other towns of similar size
l am more than ever impressed with
the thought that no other place could
be made to compare with this city in
beauty and attractiveness if little
money and labor were spent in i'm
provements.
eve visited the fair for few days,
but cannot say that we saw it; to see
it thoroughly and see all there is to see
would require two or three months.
It is an impressive exposition, surely,
and seemed to me greater than any
other two similar fairs ever held. The
Washington exhibit did not come up to
my expectations-perhaps because Yak
ima's part was not more conspicuous-
but the state building was unique ami
attracted much attention"

Brechner- Chadwick Wedding.

Rev. Collins of st. Micnaeps Episcopal
church performed the ceremony that
united in marriage Miss Blanche Chad
wick and Mr.. Walter Brechner, the wed
ding taking place in the presence of a
few friends ut the Episcopal church last
Thursday morning. The happy couple
departed on the afternoon train for
Minnesota, where the groom is engaged
in business at Brainerd
The bride was prettily gowned in
white broadcloth, trimmed with lace
and crushed velvet, and carried bridal
boquet of white carnations. She was
given away by Mr.. Fred Alter, an old
friend of the family. Mr.. Brechner
wore the usual black and was unattend-
ed. The ceremony which was very pref
ty and impressive, was followed by
lunch served at the home of the brides
mother at 30s North Third street. The
table was decorated with smilax, clus-
tiers of carnations and ferns, and COW
ers were laid for ten.
Mrs. Chadwick and her daughter
came to North Yakima some months ago,
and both have made many friends here.
The marriage of the daughter was the
elimination of pretty romance that
began in Minnesota year or more ago.
The Herald joins with many friends in
wishing the bride and groom long life
and happiness.

PRICES
SOAR HIGHER.
Local Butchers Report an Ad-
vance in Price Of Beef at
Wholesale.
EVERYBODY INTERESTED.

The price of beef continues to soar
sky wnrd. and the local consumer is
now required to pay in many cases,
for good quality of beef, five cents q
pound more than was the case fort
night ago. Sirloin steak, which was
with SONS dealers II cents pound,
now brings % cents, and whole sir
loin which could be procured for 80
cents, will now bring 45 cents.
There has been an advance of at
least = cents on the pound of beef,
wholesale, so that in order to make up
for the loss tho retail dealer must
needs raise the price to the con-
sumer, and although there is not as
much beef consumed now, as in the
spring and winter months, vet many
have begun to purchase small quunti-
ties at q higher rate.
A News reporter, in conversation
with number of local butchers, this
morning, learned that tho price of beef
would most likely advance another
cent before long.
A year ago at this time, the price
of meat was very reasonable. The
rnise does not affect lamb, pork or
poultry, the first named being lower
now than for long time. the price
of a leg of lamb being now, at many
stOrAs 1917 canta whiIa IL was
formerly as high as 1S cents.
Whether there will be further in
crease the dealers are unable to say.
1t has caused them great uneasiness,
but they are powerless, for underneath
this sensational rise, the power of the
trust seems to be evident, and cor
ner IN cattle, according to some has
caused tho trouble.
Another matter which has caused
the local butchers grave apprehension,
is the formation of a DroVer's AS.
sociation, which, when duly or
ganized, will, it, is stated, have n
capital of $50, 0,0oO,0 600 These drovers
are the men who control the cattle
supply before it reaches the slaughter
houses, and they will, therefore, be in
a position to make the price of beef
correspond to market fluctuations.
They can extend or decrease the
supply, and will be in reality "a
drover's trust -

6RADsT7EET's REVIEW.

New York, April 1.-Bradstreets tomor. row will say
 Low temperature and heavy rains, bad roads and floods, the latter in the Ohio and tributary valleys have checked spring trade, delayed collections. discouraged eastern demand, and closed a three months period of rather backward busi- ness in the north, east and west There ere some redeeming features, however. Agricultural men have done probably the best seasons trade on record. the rail- ways are gradually winning out of their transportation difficulties, southern whole sale trade was never larger, and the feel ing in the iron and steel trades is more cheerful one then seemed possible a short time ago. While nearly all signs point to smaller turnover in the country's trade than in 1903. feeling is still general that the crop outlook favors large yields and warm, dry weather is eagerly awaited.
 At the east. weather conditions have been unfavorable. Drygoods distribution is behind last year at all leading mar kets. Textile machinery Is not running full: cotton goods demand is backward from agents and high prices are bar to activity. Eastern shoe shipments are five per cent behind last year and March has been a rather poor month in leather at Doston.
 The iron trade situation looks well as a whole. Sales of pig iron are smaller than of late, recent advances based on good buying tending to stay buyers hands. Furnaces are, however. filled up with orders for the second quarter and prompt deliveries of pig iron and billets are being extensively demanded with the possibility that small premiums may be offe~ed for dlick delivery Finished pro- ducts are in good call except that struc- tural mterial feels the effect of labor troubles. Railroads are reported buying freely of new cars and shop supplies. Specifications are coming forward fiber ally. Tunnel work and pipe contracts are expected to call for an immense quantity of iron. Southern iron makers are reported standing firmly for $1O Bir- mingham for Mo- 2 foundry Agricul- tural implement makers are reported free buyers of material Among other metals, copper is notably strong and exports in March are reported next to the largest ever recorded
 The great mass of commodities show continued and notable strength
 Wheat, including flour exports, for the week ending March 31, aggregate 1,267,430 bushels. against 1S01, ,S45 last week. and s3,130,9 ,974 last year; from July 1, 1903, to date they aggregate 1159S2,634 bushels against 173,91,4s1 last season.
 Corn exports for the week aggregate l, ,4sS, PIP bushels, against 1,527 676 last week, date they are 46.523. 339. against 49. .722 546 last season.
 Business failures in the United States this week number PIP, against 215 last week, and in Canada II against IS last week.
