Purchase Yakima Tea Co.'s Stock.

A deal was closed Tuesday morning
by which Fred r. Briggs and Lapier
Ballinger purchased the stock of the
Yakima Tea company.
Mr.. Briggs is a recent conner to this

Mr. Ballinger has been a member of
the firm for several years and Is we'll
and favorably known here.
Mr.. Miller who is retiring from the
firm, will remain in the store until the
return OF Mr.. Ballinger from his we'd
ding tour. AS yet he has made no
definite plans as to what he will do
after that time. The consideration in

AN URGENT CASE.

The water users or the Sunnyside
country are placed in position where
it is necessary for them to appeal for
aid to secure enough water to save
their crops from serious damage, if
not total loss. The supply is shorter
this year. it is said, than it has been
for many years, and the requirements
are greater than they ever have been.
They are confronted by a serious prob
lem.
If they get through the season, it
will be only by the aid of water users
more fortunate in having all they need,
and little more. 1t is this extra sup
ply that can save the crops Of the Sun
nyside farms, if anything can, and this
is what is being asked for The next
two weeks will carry water users
through the critical period, the crops
by that time being either assured or
doomed. a. r
What the Sunnyside irrigators ask,
and what every irrlgator above them
should grant cheerfully. is that those
with more water than they need con-
serve the surplus and turn it back in
to the river again. to carry life to the
crops lower down the valley. If each
Individual user does this. there is rea-
son 10 believe that there will be
enough for ALL None should feel that
they have a right to the wasteful use
of the water while those below them
are sustaining losses on account of the
waste

LOUIE SINISTER ROBBED.

Louie Shuster, a we'll known Indian

complaint to the sheriff Tuesday morn

while sleeping in Parker's feed yard
Monday night.
Louie came to town alone and soon
after went to bed in spring wagon
in the feed yard. When he went to
sleep he had on pair of trousers and
over them a pair of overaIls. In the
pocket of the trousers he had s65 in

found the overalls unbuttoned and in
stantly felt for his money. He found
only SIS in his pocket.

The Flour Gold Amalgamating Com

the purpose of putting into use what
feet mining machines put before the
mining public. It is a simple amalga-

on MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

The Herald does not pose as the
champion of the water and light COM
pany. It believes that corporation is
quite able to look to protect its own
interests It has met the consumers
half way in making what seems to be
a reasonable rate for the use of water
from its mains and If it will now make
a proper reduction in the rates for the
use of light it would seem that it had
done all or more than was promised or
expected of II when the agitation for
better rates was begun a year ago
We believe the company has met the
consumers half way in the matter of
rates for water. and that the advent
of two gas manufacturing plants will
compel reasonable reduction in the
rates for light. No claim has ever been
put forward that the present system
was inefficient or the quality OF its
water or light not what it should be.
If it is admitted that this he true, then
the agitation In favor of municipal
ownership of the water and light plant
can be productive of no good either to
the community or the cause which it
preteuds to advance. Municipal owner
ship was made the slogan during tn
last municipal campaign by the parry
now in charge of the city government,
and the Herald contended then, rs K
contends now that the condition of the
city's finances did not warrant an at

chase condemnation or erection of the

Eight and two thirds acres near the

1 and year old winter apples; balanc,

a bargain ut $3.50 when bare land that
is no better and nearly as far out is
selling for $500 per acre At the above
price 1t puts the land Mt an average
of $4,000 per acre inclusive of all i'm
