business at Yakima is good" he ad-
ded. Hay commands a good price, and
the farmers are prosperous. The cattle
men have been finding ready market
for their stock, the sheepmen made prof
liable shipments during last year, and
consequently every one is happy. In
North Yakima we have three banks and
over $2,000,00O in deposits. That is
pretty good for population of 1000.
The Carnegie library which we are 60
ing to have is going to cost $4,000 and
will be completed before long. That
will be a big addition to the town. In
short, think that North Yakima has
about as good future as any town in
this progressive state. In few years
the population will be doubled"

Worth Consideration, at Least.

The following is offered by California
paper, and might be worth a trial by
any who are so unfortunate as to need
a preventative or remedy for two very
greatly dreaded diseases. A correspond
ent of the paper wrote: 81 herewith APP
pend q recipe which has been used to my
knowledge in hundreds of cases. 1t will
prevent small pox and cure it though the
pittings are filling. 1t will also cure
scarlet fever Here is q recipe as | have
used it to cure small pox. When learn
ed physicians said the patient must die
it cured: Sulphatc of zinc, one grain;
sugar, onc-half teaspoonful; two table
spoonfulS; foXglove (digitalis) one grain.
Mix thoroughly then add four ounces of
water. Take II table spoonful every
hour. Either disease will disappear in
twelve hours For child, give smaller

the ball is to be given on Friday even
ing, February 18th, this may be looked
upon as merely starter. Tine tickets
are selling for So for the admission of a
couple or 81 for single admission. The
free list has been suspended, as the
theatre managers say, and everyone who
goes to the ball will pay.
Socially, the ball will be one of the
greatest events of the season, and no ex-
pense, labor or care will be spared to
make it Il success in every way. It is
said that the floor of the armory, where
the ball is to be held, has never been in
such good condition as it will be on this
occasion; the music will be a leading
feature, and there will be novel and
beautiful decorations to add to the
splendor of the scene. Refreshments
will be served by the ladies', and there
will be plenty of people on the connie
tees to look after the comfort and pleas
ure of the guests. Further announce
ment will be made next week.
