MORE DEATHS THAN BIRTHS.
In Yakima County, as Shown by the
Records.

There are some interesting features
in tine report for the last quarter and
for the whole of the past year of mar.
riages, births and deaths in the coun-
ty. recently forwarded to the auditor
of state by County Auditor Newcomb.
II is shown that during 1904 there were
I'D births and 1874 deaths65 more
died than were born in the county. This
would be rather discouraging were it
not for the fact that during the year
PAT marriage licenses were issued, for
in the natural order of things it may be
expected that different report will be
due this time next year. And, too, it
should be remembered that great many
of those included in the death report
were people who came here from other
localities with incurable diseases and
received treatment at some of the hos
pitfalls and sanitariums of the valley.
1t is doubtful if the number of resi-.
dents of Yakima county VINO died dur
ing the year from disease would be
greater than the number of births.
The report for the last quarter shows
that there were 81 deaths in the coun-
ty in that time, 25 male and 30 female;
these were due to 80 different causes or
disease, typhoid leading with the great
est number of deaths attributed to it,
IL in all. During the quarter there
were Al births reported, % male, II fe-
male, and 2 of which the sex was not
given. There were 81 marriage licenses
issued, 80 in October, % in November,
and 81 in December.

EVANGELIST UpprKE COMING.
One Of the Most Successful Ministers in
the United States.

Few Of the many noted evangelists
preaching the gospel in the United States
have a record equaling that of Rev. J. v.
Updike, who will arrive in the city the
latter part of the present week and take
up the work already begun by the pas
tor of the Christian church, Rev. Nor
ton l.. Rose. The series of meetings
was begun last Sunday morning, and will
continue for an indefinite period.
the meetings will be held for while
in the Christian church, but if North
Yakima does not prove an exception,
to any place where Rev. Updike has con-
Quoted revivals, it will be but a short
time until the church will be unable to
accommodate anything like the number
VINO will want to hear him. He began
preaching in 1867. For many years he
was known as the "boy evangelist" and
there is probably not city or town in
the United States where his name is not
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1905-02-08

known. The results of some of his
meetings have been almost incredible.
In 1875 he conducted revival at which
there were more than 700 conversions.
One of the greatest meeting he ever held
was in Dies Moines, Ia, in 1891, the total
number of converts being SlS.
The accompanying cut is an excellent
likeness of Rev. Updike. He is a plain,
simple speaker, but very scholarly
man, and natural orator. His methods
are as original and pleasing as they are
successful. A cordial invitation is ex-
tended to all to hear him. The music
will be made n feature of the services,
and for the purpose of aiding this
large number of new hymnals have been
secured.

ONIONS HAVE REACHED
the SIXTY DOLLAR MARK
And Are In Good Demand at That-Po-
tatoes Lower Than Last Week
Apples for California.

Onions have reached the $50 mark that
it was predicted they would reach some
time ago. A few small lots have been
purchased in the city during the past
few days for less than this, but one of
the largest dealers informed the Her
aid Monday that he was ready to pay
600 ton for good onions any time, and
would be glad to learn where to get them
at that price. The retail price is l-2
to cents pound, according to quail
ity and quantity sold. The scarcity is
not due to the growers holding them;
there are but few in the valley, so few
that it would be hard indeed to get a
carload together.
The slump in potatoes that was looked
for came early last week. The Sound
markets were stocked up with potatoes
of fair quality, whole trainload of
which arrived recently from Greeley,
COL, and were put on the market at $l8
ton. That is the price the dealers had
been paying here, and of course there
was an immediate drop in the local
market. Prices now being paid range
from $l4 to $l7, but the dealers are not
buying in large quantities, on account
of the uncertainty of the future. There
is practically no demand at present from
the Sound.
Hay holds its own at the prices that
have prevailed for several weeks, and
there is no apparent increase or de-
crease in the demand. the best quo
tation on alfalfa is $725, delivered at
the station or in the warehouse. As
soon as the roads begin to get in good
shape after their recent muddy condi-
ton, the growers began hauling in hay
in considerable quantities; all of this
was taken at the price quoted, but the
dealers are not encouraging the farmers
to sell, and do not care to load up very
heavily at this time.
The apple market is quiet, and the
prices have undergone no change to
speak of for several weeks. A good many
of the better varieties are being shipped
j. M. Perry & Co. forwarded car of
choice mixed varieties to Los Angeles
last Monday, and will follow up this
shipment with others in the near fut-
ure.
Live stock and poultry remain the
same as quoted last week, although the
dealers are expecting beef cattle and
fat hogs and sheep to advance. Poultry
in any class is worth 10 cents a pound;
turkeys are an exception, and are in
good demand at Is cents.
The produce market is practically I'M
changed. Butter is still quoted at 70
cents and 55 cents, for creamery and
ranch, respectively. Eggs showed ten
dency toward lower prices for a while,
but with the colder weather of the past
few days rallied again and are firm at
80 cents.

March goth has been decided upon az
the date of the big show by the Elks Of
this city. The Yakima theatre mas been
engaged, everything Of conflicting ma.
ture or that might detract from the bril-
liancy of the event has been sidetracked,
and arrangements are being made IA
rapidly as possible in regard to the de-
tails. This "show" will eclipse any
that has ever been given by the E|ks in
this city, and that is saying a good deal.
A partial program has been made up,
and rehearsaIs will begin this week. It
has been decided to give speciality
show instead of the regulation minstrel
entertainment, which will close with a
farce comedy. The assistance of TIC
city's best male singers has been se-
cured, and the Indications are that the
promises Of the promoters will be more
than fulfilled.
