Y. N. c. A. PLANS
$4,000 HOME
SUBSCRIPTIONS TO START AT ONCE
Some Business Men Think Amount
too Small, but Association Men
Want Building Right Away.

Mr.. n. F. Turner of Seattle, whom
the citizens Y. NJ. c. A. building COM
mittee has employed to direct the
canvass for funds to erect an asso-
citation building here, has arrived in
North Yakima. He came in company
with State Secretary Wilcox, who will
be here for day or two in the inter-
ests of the same project.
Mr.. Turner has had experience in
connection with the Seattle Young
Mems Christian Association. both in
the conduct of the regular work, and
in the big building enterprise which
has just been consummated there.
When seen by a Herald reporter
last night, Mr.. Turner expressed him
self as greatly pleased with North
Yakima. and the outlook for the pro-
ject which specially brought him
here.
while have never visited North
Yakima before" said Mr.. Turner. II
have heard enough of the city to ex-
pect great enterprise and thorough
confidence on the part of your peo-
pie in the future Seattle people
think great deal of North Yakima
and the surrounding country as a
wealf producing community. But
in spite of all I have heard about
this place, and its people. I was not
prepared to find so beautiful a city
with people so unanimously certain
of great growth in population and
commercial Importance.
Asked about the proposed Young
Mems Christian Association build
ing, Mr.. Turner said: II find every
body ready to help push the project
through to successful termination.
No one has suggested that. the sum
originally determined upon is too
large. I have heard a good many
people say that in their opinion a
building costing $4,000 would not
be large enough for the city which
you expect here in five years. A
number of your solid business men
have said that not less than $50, 900
should be raised. I am not prepared
to express an opinion on this point.
but I am very sure of one thing, and
that is that it will be better to get a
$4,000 building this year than to
wait indefinitely for structure thar
may cost twice as much. Every bus
mess man and young man in the city,
so far as have been able to learn
is in favor Of getting this building
and getting 1t now. am very glad
of the opportunity to assist in the
project. which I regard as one of the
very greatest in Importance to the
right growth of the city.
The citizens Y NJ. G. A. building
committee will hold a meeting at the
call of Chairman w. B. Dudley. at
the Commercial club rooms this even
ing for the purpose of considering the
details involved in the raising of the
sum required by the enterprise.

COMPANY { SMELLS the FUND
Continued from First Page.

the Orient in the first car. About
$50 individual givers are already rep
resented, and it is hoped that the to-
tai number will be as many as pos
sible. Everybody ought to get to-
gether and swell the total number Of
givers to $50 at the least.
Now that the time Is feeting, and
the car is about to be loaded, let each
do his best, and make the gift of the
Yakima valley a thing to be remem-
bered throughout the state of Wash
ington and the northwest. There is
no reason why this should not be so.
Commenting upon the fund that is
being raised by the Herald, the Mon
days edition of the Post-Intelligen-
Ger said:
AT first it was thought that but
one car of flour would be sent from
North Yakima, but the contributions
are coming in so rapidly that it is
hard to know where they will stop.
On Friday, after the subscription had
only been started for two days, there
were only 125 sacks of -four needed
to complete full carload. Yester-
day every minister in North Yakima
made personal appeal to the con-
gregations of the city, asking that
the people there take a part in the
work of kindness. and show that
there is no city in the state that will
give more literally to a deserving
cause than the Queen City of Wash
dngton. Two hundred and one sacks
of -four and $61.50 in cash have al
ready been raised.
The Yakima people have also taken
the matter up in spirit of rivalry.
Already they have raised half as much
towards the fund as Tacoma, with
many times Yakima's population, but
1t rankles in their hearts that Water
Vile and Pullman can raise more in
the work than can be done in their
own city. With this in view they
will strain every effort to make their
showing one of which they may be
proud. In view of the fact that they
have done so well in the few days
that they have been at work on the
matter, 1t will be interesting to note
the result"
Yesterday afternoon the Herald
notified the Seattle committee that
the car was ready at any time, and it
is expected that the car will be load
at the North Yakima Milling Com
pany's freight platform Monday for
shipment to the Sound, so that it can
clear on the steamer that leaves on
March 20.
Many people in the city are under
the impression that their donations
have to be delivered at this office.
This Is not so. The Herald office Is
crowded to its utmost capacity with
the machinery and stock incident to
it's regular business. A much more
convenient and desirable plan is to
send the Herald an order on your
grocer or the milling company for
the number of sacks that you wish to
give. or, send your donation in cash
and it will be converted into -four
on the day of shipment This will
avoid double hauling. and facilitate
matters to a wonderful degree.

FARM LABOR IN DEMAND.
Man are Wanted and Few to he Had
at Any Fair Price.

Local employment agents report
that there is an unprecedented de-
mand for ranch laborers at prices
ranging from $25 to $35 month,
and in some instances more than
that price. 1t is claimed by one
agency that over one hundred men
could find immediate work at these
prices and that the demands are con-
stantly increasing.
While it is a well-known fact that
there are great number of idle men
about the streets, it is next to impos-
sible for the employment agents to
induce them to do ranch work II any
other employment at fair wages can
be procured. According to the
agency furnishing this information,
farm or ranch laborers do not have
an enviable life of it. They are re-
quired to furnish their own bedding
and to sleep in barns, sheds or tents,
and often in the open air, where they
are exposed to all degrees of tempera-
ture from cold winds to blazing sun
light, and are treated by their en-
ployers, in many well-known in
stances, so far as kindness is con-
cerned, worse than horses or other
farm animals.
The agent deplores this fact. While
this state of affairs is not the rule, he
says, 1t is altogether too frequent, and
that the exceptions, like unkind
words stand out in bold relief and
seem to be known among all classes
of day laborers.
The ranchers need help They
are anxious to employ any one. but
while there is other employment to
be had, unless the applicant is in ex-
ceptionally hard circumstances, he
turns deaf ear to all inducements OF
a steady job down on the farm"

. months old child to Ritzville with
out the mothers knowledge and
afterwards started suit for divorce
against his wife. Mrs. Watts hear
ing the whereabouts of the child,

A notable event in the history of

roofs. and the blowing over of a
blacksmith shop, was not serious.

A FIFTEDN-YEAR-OLD BURGLAR.
Walla Walla Youth, Wanted There
for Stealing, Arrested Yesterday.

NJ Devils, chief of the Walla Walla
police. arrived in the city Monday
and identified Willie Waldron, whom
the Yakima officers had taken in
charge upon advices from the Walla
Walla officials. Young Waldron is
accused of being implicated in large
number of robberies of stores and
dwellings, but the charge upon which
ne was just arrested was that of bur-
glarizing a store on January 5th,
from which large number of knives,
revolvers, ETC., were taken.
Young Waldron is about II years
old and Is said to be the son of form
or highly respected residents OF Yak
ina City, but who now reside in
Walla Walla. For some time the
Young man has been in the company
Of suspicious characters. and has led
a wayward life. One of his compan-
ions was recently sent to the reform
school at Chehalis.
Seen in his cell at the police sta
ton shortly after his arrest, young
Waldron claimed he could not mag
inc what he was arrested for, and ap-
reared to be quite Indifferent about
the matter. He said he had no oc-
cupation whatever, except" he said
that of shining shoes. I will not
tell you my name, said ne, "as have
plenty of friends here, and don't
want them to hear of this. I used
to live in Old Town"
Waldron is said to be a cigarette
fiend and is an inveterate user OF the
strongest brands of plug tobacco
with which he was plentifully sup
piled when arrested.

An Unusual Execution.

]. H. Clark of North Yakima came
down this week and filed on a home
stead three miles out from Pasco.
Mr.. Clark warmly praised Pasco and
its future. and said that he would
not leave North Yakima, where land
sells for $1,000 an acre and come
down here If he were not convinced
that Pasco had better prospects.
Coming from a man like Mr.. Clark,
who owns property near North Yak
ina, this means something.-Pasco

Hop Market Very Dull.

This is the dullest of all the dull
seasons of the year in the hop mar
ket, according to statements of local
hop buyers and those who have kept
in touch with hop affairs. Many of
the offices closed early yesterday.
Arthur E. Poole & Co. reported the
market absolutely dead at present
and could not predict when condi-
tions would take on the old-time
rosy hue. G.. S. Mitchell & Co. had
little or nothing in the way of en-
couraging news. This is the quiet
season.
The last purchase made by Pool
Brothers was seventy-five bales from
Richard Strobach at 10c pound.
The price was considered by them as
far above the market price, which is
about &c a pound The seventy-five
bales we're quickly loaded onto cars
on February %, just in time to es-
cape being assessed as personal
property, and this is the last order
so far as Is known, that has been
shipped out of the Yakima valley.
G. N. Grafton reported no market
and nothing doing at present. ex-
cept that a car of hops was shipped
ny lucui " AulSd6o lhC OehCi auy I,
for which they realized &c a pound.
These hops they had had on hand
several weeks before they found
purchaser.
The Seattle Trade Register says
there are very few hops moving and
that the prices still fiuctuate around
Sc and 12c a pound, the only feature
of interest in the situation being
that proposed by some of the grow
ers to form a selling and holding
pool. The Portland Oregonian says
that hopmen are more interested in
the shipping movement now than in
any other feature of the market, and
that shipments from that point to
the east and Europe are heavier than
at any time since the season opened.
Only 5000 or 1000 bales are left in
the local warehouses and railroad
warehouses are being rapidly cleaned
out. A rumor got abroad recently,
continues the Oregonian, that the
various county assessors were about
to begin assessing all the hops in the
state for the purpose of taxation. and
this had something to do with ac-
celebrating the movement.

LOCAL MARKET REVIEW.
Very Slight Changes in Quotations Is
Noted This Week.

The local market in general is
steady at last weeks prices.
There was sharp advance in the
price of hogs and the demand is
good for both live and dressed pork.
Veal is in better demand, and an
increase of soc per hundred is re-
ported.
Chickens have increased in price
a cent pound, and at the present
fair prices are very scarce.
No hay is moving. Potatoes hold
steady at last weeks figures, but they
are expected to advance in price, as
commission men have information of
the freezing of large quantities in the
valley.
No grain is being moved, but the
market for feed is brisk.
