PoSToFFlcE INSPECTOR
AETER WILD Caller!

A. j. Bradley, the postoffice inspec-
tor, who spent some time in the mining
districts west of Laramie last week,
was probably looking after the use of
the mails to forward the scheme OF
taking mining promoters. The En-.
campment Herald thus refers to his
visit to that neighborhood:
THE United States p~ostofice inspec-
tor made the rounds of the offices in
this part of the country this week. AS
a result of his visit it is barely posi-
BILE that a fraud order may be issued
against one or two concerns which are
believed to be conducting mining oper-
atoms in a questionable manner on the
extreme outer edges of the district.

er is becoming harder every day

modern association building there
is some feature that will interest ev-
cry man in the community, whether
he ever goes to church or not, wheth-
err he is a reader Of books or not, or
whether he is laboring man or a
man of leisure. The athlete and the
society man may use the features that
will appeal to each.
The good there is in every man re-
spends at times to the right touch.
The manly help to condition of
self-helpfuplness which this great in
stitution sands for is one of the
things which gives it dignity. The
following from an editorial some
time since in the Spokane Spokes-
man-Review very well states this
matter:
This great work owes it's aston
ishing success to the fact that 1t
makes a powerful appeal to men of
all ages. There lie in the minds of
most successful, high-minded citi-
zens thoughts almost too sacred for
expression. Among these is the con-
viction that there were crises in their
lives -moments when single good
influence drew them back from the
cliffs of disaster and set their feet
forever on the safe and solid ground.
"To man of this character, the
Young Mems Christian Association
makes an irresistible appeal. I am
what I am he reasons, by the grace
of ennobling influences, and owe it
to the young men OF this generation,
to my country and town, to my home
and myself, to help throw ennobling
influences around the young men Of
the present day."
The young men of North Yakima
should not be denied the privileges
and benefits Of such an association.
They will do their share toward the
erection of permanent home for the
association in this city, and will pay
their dues when they get the chance
of using the privileges, but they can
not do it all, nor should 1t be so,
and indeed it is not expected of
them. This community would not
have it said of them that they failed
to avail themselves of this rare op-
portunity.

MEN ARE GETTING BUSY
Secretary Turner Is Very Optimistic
Believes Fund Ought to
Be Raised Very Quickly.

The Young Mems committee Of
the Y. M. c. A. building fund is being
organized. That is a short sentence,
Tut it involves great deal. To
get ten busy young men, busy with
other peoples business as well as
their own, to find time enough to hunt
up those they desire for each SUBJ
committee, is no easy task. They are
going right after it, however, in style
characteristic Of North lakima, and
it will not be the fault of the COM
mittee leaders If the campaign for
funds wherewith to build an ade-
quate Y. M. G. A. does not merrily
open and lead the way for the great
er campaign to follow.
They are hoping so to demonstrate
their appreciation of the start that
has been made in the way of get
ting Y. M. c. A. here that the bus
mess men responsible for the COM
mencement of the movement may feel
encouraged by their attitude to go
ahead and make really big thing
of it.
It Is little premature yet to say
anything about what the young men
are going to raise but Mr.. Turner,
the building fund secretary, said last
night:
Don't say anything much about
1t, but the young men seem to have
forgotten the $4,000 figure set them
by the Citizens committee, and 1t
will surprise me very much If the
2aople of North Yakima are not sur
prised when the boys get a-going. |
am no prophet. yet I have a sort of
a "hunch," as they say, that there
will be things doing" in a very few
days now which will put the Y. M. C.
A. proposition right In the public
eye-and It will be kept there until
the necessary business is completed
and that means that the necessary
money is subscribed to put up the
building for North Yakima, which all
are agreed is the thing needed right
now"
In answer to the question as to
the ultimate cost of the building, Mr..
Turner said: There seems to be a
y general consensus of opinion that
$4,000 will not put up the building
that the growing necessities of the
city demand. However, nothing can
be determined upon that point: /,
remains with the people at present
to indicate by the start that is made
just how far the Citizens committee
should aim to go. I believe IL sub
scriptions are made on a basis OF
$40 900 or $50. 900. that such figures
can be reached.

WRITES HOME PAPER.
North Dakota Man Writes Former
Neighbors Of Surroundings.

Herman Froemke, who came here
last year from North Dakota and
purchased some land, is more than
satisfied, and in order to encourage
some of his old friends and neigh
bors to better themselves, writes his
nome paper of some Of his obserya-
lions. We herewith print the same
in full:
North Yakima, Wash. Feb. 81.
19O6.-To the Editor of the Pro-
gress: Dear Sir.-I suppose the
readers of your paper would like to
near some news from the busy west
| never saw things in the business
line going on as they do here: ey-
erybody Is striving to make improve
ments. Everywhere you look there
are new buildings going up. and
work of all kinds is rushing at ali
times OF the year-summer and
winter. Land here seems very
high to the eastern buyer. A few
days ago a ten-acre tract on Mob
Hill was sold for $4,000. Mob Hill
is the most beautiful part of the
valley, being high and healthy
therefore large prices are being Maid
Tor small tracts exclusively for
nomes Another three acres near
town was sold for $1,000 per acre.
The fruit crop was very light last
year. but prices were good. Mr..
Gamble OF Fargo, N. D., has ten acres
OF bearing fruit trees, which he saws
ne would not trade for the best see.
ton in North Dakota. The only
trouble the fruit raisers have met
with SO far is that there is only one
railroad here yet and this cannot
supply enough cars to ship the vast
amount of fruit raised in the valley
arhough twenty-six trains pass
through our busy little town every
day. Fifty home-seekers alighted at
North Yakima Sunday evening, Feb
ruary Is. If they had eighty cars
here every day they could keep them
going from September / to December
l. l think by next fall there will he
two more railroads through here.
The weather last summer was from
100 to 1O3, and the coolest this win
ter was Is above, on Mob Hill. In
town 1t was above. Mob Hill is 200
feet higher than the center of town.
We had only about ten days of
sleighing this winter, and now 1t
would seem spring is here. Spring
work has started and some have
planted potatoes. The weather is
nice; no frost nights. The govern
ment is building new ditch to
water 10000 acres of desert land.
Some of our eastern friends think
the western, especially the Yakima
