RICH FRUIT TRACTS MARKET.
Beautifully Located, Rich Soil and
Abundant Water.

The Parker Highland tracts re-
Gently put upon the market by the
Union Gap Irrigation Co., have met
with a ready sale, in fact over half
of the acreage is now sold and with
in a few weeks the new purchasers
will begin the improvement of their
lands.
The tracts are located in the
famous Parker Bottom district near
the Piland ranch and in one of the
finest fruit sections in the entire
world. This is a broad statement,
but it is nevertheless true. None of
it has ever been under water until
this season, the tract lying just above
the Sunnyside canal. 1t will be
watered from the Union Gap ditch.
Manager Lombard of the COMPANY
states that he believes this por-
ton of the district will become one
of the great peach sections of the
irrigated west, as it is located where
frosts are least likely to occur. The
land is particularly adapted to fruit
and most of those who have pur-
purchased lands there intend to
enter upon this industry.

School Warrants Goes Free,
But is Re-arested

the case of the state against William
Cowles, charged with forgery, re-

in due course unless dismissed by

UTILIZATION Of
FRUIT SURPLUS
RECEIVING GROWERS ATTENTION
Additional Revenue Can be Added
10 the Farm by Marketing
By-Products.

During the meeting of the State
Horticultural association in this city
last week some discussion arose over
the manufacture and disposal of by
products of the orchard. An inter
esting PAPER was read by Captain
Hogan which touched largely upon
his experiments along the line of
wine-making, which covered period
of almost fifteen years. Mr. Hogan
had on exhibit some excellent sam
pies Of his manufacture.
A prominent professional gentle
man of this city who has expert
mented largely in the making of
wines for the past eight or nine
years, said, in talking of the subject
with reporter of The Herald, that
there is nothing secret or difficult
high quality from apples, and that
with a little experimenting wine of
far superior quality could be made
from the culled apples which are
yearly wasted in this section than
the many brands of wine imported
from California and Europe, and
have the additional advantage of be-
ing perfectly pure. This gentleman
has in his cellar several varieties OF
wine made by himself, among which
is apple, currant, oregon grape and
rhubarb, the latter being one of the
choicest, and yet the cheapest man
ufactured.
That the fruit industry will soon
become so great in this section that
the utilization of the surplus will
be used in the manufacture of by
products such as jams, jellies. vim
egar and wine is foregone con-
clusion, as evidenced by the number
of growers that are already begin
ming to study and experiment along
these lines.

THE OPERA PINAFORE.
To be Presented at the Yakima The.
alter January %.

The great majority of people are
music lovers. That is the reason
why operas are always more popular
than other classes of plays. Of
course some operas are more popular
than others. The great majority of
people love comic opera. The opera
"Pinafore, or the Lass Who Loved a
Sailor" is comic. The music is
listen to. This opera is to be given
here on the 25th of January, one
week from next Thursday night, at
the Yakima theater. The play will
be presented by the best local tai
ent to be secured in the city, and
outside talent has also been engaged.
Nagler's complete orchestra will ac-
company the voices and chorus work.
Pinafore is the most popular of all
English comic operas. The music
was composed by Sir Arthur Sulli-
van, the greatest composer of Eng
lish song. A magnificent chorus of
forty voices in addition to the large
caste of principals are practicing
nightly for the opera. Rehearsals
have been going on for three
months. The costumes have been
secured from Chicago. This will
unquestionably be the best amateur
show ever presented in North Yak

YAKIMA GAS COMPANY.

The Yakima Gas company, or the
Anderson Coal Gas company of
Spokane, as it is commonly known,
after lull of few weeks in their
work of constructing coal gas
plant. has again put force of men
in the field and will continue to push
the work until its new plant is COM
pleted. The company has just COM
pleted the purchase of a part of the
Dan Goodman tract, consisting of
two acres, which has been in abey-
ance for several weeks, owing to a
discrepancy in the title, and now
that the deed is cleared up and filed
with the county auditor, reaction in
the camp of the coal gas people has
taken place. They will start i'm
mediately upon the construction of
their plant, and expect to be in a
position to give the people all the
gas demanded of them in the course
of the next three months.

HUMAN SKULLS
ARE IN STOVE
HOW MOTHER AND DAUGHTER DIED
Angry NeighbOrs Ready to Lynch
to Another County Jail.

TALLAMOOK, Jan. 15.-Another
discovery was made today in connec-
ton with the mysterious death of
Mrs. Hembree and daughter, whose
charred bodies were found in the
ruins of their home at Sand Lake.
The suspicion that so small house
as that in which the family lived
could not give sufflcientheat in burn
ing to entirely incinerate the human
body, led to further investigation,
with the result that what are be-
lieved to be the skulls of the women
were found in sheet iron stove
which was in the Hembree house
when it was burned down. Hem
bree, the husband and father, who
was arrested for the supposed MUIR
der.is now in the Yamhill county Jail,
whence he was taken, after waving
examination in this county, to pre-
vent possible attempt of summary
vengeance on the part of his neigh
bors, who firmly believe that the
prisoner committed the crime to
conceal the fact that he maltreated
his daughter. The discovery of the
skulls in the stove seems conclusive
evidence that the women were first
murdered and their heads chopped
from their bodies and afterward the
house was set on fire.

CITY FATHERS
HOLD MEETING
LITTLE BUSINESS IS TRANSACTED
Bid for Sale of Sewer Bond Is Ac.
cepted-Sanitary Inspector to
Have 500 Salary.

At the meeting of the city council
held in the city hall Monday night
there was not very much business
transacted, though a great amount
was talked over. Just as it would
seem that some motion would be
passed that would accomplish some
thing, some member would rise and
move that the matter be laid over
for two weeks, which would be done,
and then things would go on again
as before. The most important of
all the ordinances taken up was the
one providing for the appointment
of a sanitary inspector, which is
given in greater detail lower in this
article.
A petition was received from fifty
citizens that an ordinance be passed
to tax the employment agents of the
city and it should be made to read
that in case the employment sought
for was not obtained, the fee paid
should be returned. The matter
was laid on the table.
S. A. Kean of 1872 La Sale street,
Chicago, made an offer for the sewer
bonds of $4,000, less commission
of az per cent, or $1,000. A mo-
ton awarding the bonds to Mr..
Kean was passed by vote of So,
Messrs. Keck and Lane voting in the
negative. A motion was also passed
allowing Kean 21a per cent COM
