THE republicans of Yakima county
in convention assembled. mindful of the
glorious history Of the party, adopt this
declaration of principles
The republican party has been tried
and not found wanting. For seven
years it has had full control in the ma
tional government and they have been
years OF plenty and prosperity. For
eign commerce has expanded to immense
proportions. Internal trade has devel-
oped beyond the most sanguine expec-
tations. Labor has had a steady en-
ployment at good wages. Capital has
found safe and profitable investment
The farmer has had a good market and
the merchant profitable business Debts
have been paid and credit and CON
fidence firmly established To change
policies is TO invite disaster ana we be-
lieve that the prosperity Of the coun-
try demands that the republican poll
cies shall be continued in the admins

The above comprises the list of dele
gates elected from this county last Sat
urday to the state republican convcn-
ton to be held at Tacoma ON the 18th

elected II of the 10 delegates on their
ticket and Robt. Scott, who tied with
w. II. Redman on recount. resigned
in that gentleman's favor who was on
the ticket of the slate crowd Practi-
| cally. it will be seen. the antislate
people elected l3 of their candidates.
They east Is votes in the city out of Il
total of 80, The only thing that saved
any of the slate crowd was by Mob Hill
voting her full strength for the CITY
candidates of both tickets. cutting out
country delegates. John Clcman of the
Wenas would also have been elected il
he had voted for himself. He was the
only delegate from that precinct and
had the casting of the entire vote He
voted it straight for the antisla tick
ct with the exception of himself. This
elected p. +. Harris of Pro>ser, who was
on the slate ticket. As announced by
the convention. Mr.. Scott had So vote,
and W. II. Redman 80. Just the number
required to elect \ recount, however
showed that there had been a mistake
in the footings of 10 votes and Mr.
Scott very generously resigned. Other
changes shown by the recount are a,
follows: w. W. Robert sons vote i
raised from IS to 81. Edward Whit
sons from 20 to -. Robert johnson,
lowered from II to a. }. H. Thomas
lowered from - to 20. The other
changes are in the totals of the candi-
dates vino were ON both tickets. 1t will
be observed that the recount change
the totals by 3 in every instance and
that it is invariably in favor of the
slate ticket. The totals received by
each candidate according to the recount
and the vote in detail by precincts are
given in tables from the official record
in this report
The scrap. fortunately. did not extend
to the floor of the convention where
everything was harmonious. Thi, j. to
the credit of both sides and shows how
republicans, even though they may have
their differences. can control themselves
The fight was before the convention oc-
cured in trying to Line up" the oppos-
ing forces ami both sides worked like
pack horses. Besides those directly in
terested as candidates, Others worked
also. The anti-slate people had only
four candidates on their ticket from the
city and Is from the country precincts

may be possible. In the upper San
Joaquin valley, In California, five or six
cuttings are usually obtained. In the
Lovelock valley, Nebraska. where large
quantities Of alfalfa are grown, three
cuttings are made, with a yield Of five
to seven tons.
Alfalfa hay Is prepared in the man
ner usual for hay crops, but the opera
tons are modified somewhat by climat-
&c conditions. Concerning methods in
the dry regions of the northwest Mr..
Hitchcock says: One man with team
may NOW about fifteen acres a day.
The alfalfa is usually raked within
few hours after moving, thrown into
punches by hand and stacked as soon
as convenient. II the hay is allowed to
remain too long in the swath or wind
row, too much loss Of foliage occurs in
stacking on account Of the dryness Of
the air.
The hay is usually stacked by ma
chinery. If the stack is made in the
field, sweeps or bull rakes are OCCASION
ally used for hauling the punches to
the stacks. but these implements have
the serious objection of shattering the
leaves, causing corresponding loss of
valuable fodder. For this reason the
punches are usually loaded by hand on
wagons provided with hayracks. At
the stack the hay is unloaded from the
wagons by horsepower. the machine
used for this purpose being called a
stacker or hay derrick.
The most common type of stacker
throughout the northwest is some mod
ification Of the pole, or mast and boom,
stacker. This essentially a derrick,
with pulleys anu j ayfork, by which
several hundred pounds of hay can be
lifted from wagon and deposited upon
the stack. The stackers are generally
homemade. The derrick may be sup
