Government Orders From Arkansss.

Government Orders From Arkansas.
 The Pfeiffer Construction Company has requisition endorsed by the fed the vicinity of Batesville for 1,500 carloads of stone which is to be used in building tAe new United States prison at Leavenworth, Kans. The preference was given these quarries after an exhaustive test had shown that the Arkansas product was su- perior to the stone mined in other states, including the famous Bedford stone, which has hitherto been con. sidered the standard of excellence. The size and importance of this order can be seen when it is considered that 800 carloads of stone would be suffici- ent to build the new Arkansas state capitol with a stone dome and stone terracing. The selection shows that the Batesville quarries have at last gained recognition, and should spring into national prominence from the ad- vertisement which will be given the stone to be used in structure as important as the proposed prison.
 James Black Held for Murder.
 James Black, young man about 20 years of age, has been arrested, charged with the, murder of Sam Coller, about 15 miles south of Tex arkana There were several witnesses to the killing, but the details are meager and somewhat conflicting. It appears, however, that Black and some other young men had engaged in a difficulty, and Coker, thinking to save further trouble, went before justice of the peace and swore out warrants against the boys for the pur- pose of having them placed under bonds ts keep the peace. This in censed Black, and he later went to the home of CGker to effect compro- mise. During the interview, which took place at Coker's gate, some warm words were used Coker is alleged to have called to his daughter to bring him a shotgun, and, as she was bring ing it, Black stepped back to the wagon, got his own gun and shot Coker, killing him instantly.

Outline Work in New Branch.

1t has been a matter of much re-
greet heretofore that the schools of
North Yakima have not been up-to-
date in all particulars. Parties COM
ing here from various portions of the
east and from the other cities of
Washington have been surprised that
in a city as large as this manual
training was not in the curriculum.
In several instances families have OBJ
jected to coming here because of that
lack. No trouble will henceforth be
experienced in that line, as manual
training will be taught in the grades
this year and will be placed n the
high school as soou as the building
Is completed.
In the lower grades raffia and
light cardboard will be the mediums
through which the children will
work out their manual training ideas.
In the intermediate grades, basketry
and passepartout work will occupy
TIC liulC VI tnC PuPiio, IL ehS
grammar grades sloyd and sewing
will be done. Later 1t is hoped t
have a course in cookery for the
girls as well as sewing. Miss Rilla
M. Wyandt will have charge of the
elementary work in manual train
ing, and Mr.. Arch c. Dada the ad-
yanced work. 1t is confidently as
serted that manual training will help
to keep boys from dropping out of
school. that 1t will transform many
who are termed duh and bad into
bright and good children, that 1t Will
make many who seem lazy and shift
less to be thrifty and industrious,
and that will stimulate love for
truth, simplicity and intellectual
honesty. Two rooms have been pre-
pared, one in the Columbia and the
other in the Central for the teach
ing of this subject. The basement
rooms in the Lincoln will be used for
The same purpose when that buildin
/ is vacated by the high school.

POSITIVE STATEMENT is
MADE TO THAT EFFECT
Will Come Into City From Priest
Rapids-Nlanny Pays Visit
to This City.

1t has been stated on good au-
thority, and the statement was re-
peated at the council meeting Tues
day evening, that the Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul railroad will ask
for a franchise into this city in a few
weeks as the terminus of its branch
line, probably from the Hanford
project at Priest Rapids on the Co.
lumbia river.
On what streets the line will come
into the city is not known.
Some have stated that the visit of
H. j. Nanny Of Tacoma, general
agent for the Milwaukee at that
place, has something to do with the
franchise scheme He will visit al
most the entire valley down into
the Priest Rapids country before he
leaves
Mr.. Nanny states he is here secur-
ing fruit shipments for his road. He
states that business is increasing
wonderfully and that this is a great
valley, but had nothing further to
say as 20 his business in this com
munity.
1t is practically assured that the
Milwaukee will take steps in the
near future for a branch into this
city, and it is believed active work

Split Even i'm Ball Game.

The Yakima Tigers wiped out their
inglorious defeat of last Sunday by
handing the Prosser Red Coats a
bunch to the tune of six to one Mon
day afternoon at the local baseball
park. Though the score was decid-
edly uneven at the finish, the game
was holly contested from start to
| finish, the Tigers best lead being
gained in the last half of the eighth
inning
The red coated Prosserites at
tribute their defeat to losing two of
their best men after the game Sun
day.
Some remarkably poor fumbling
and errors were brought out by
both sides. The Red Coats had men
on both second and third bases three
times and failed to bring them in
Their only score was made by a
young Yakima boy, Lennon, who
plays on the Cascade mill team, when
Nelson made a wild throw to first
and a passed ball allowed the score
The game was attended with very
little excitement until the last half
of the seventh inning, when there
were three hot boXs on the diamond
at the same time. Yakima was at
the bat. Mitchell came up to the bat
and knocked slow grounder out to
second and was put out. Harmon
came up and made first and was ad-
canced to second by Horton. Horton
attempted to make second Pros
ser's first baseman threw the ball
to second and Harmon stole third.
Second returned the ball to first and
Horton made second after the ball
was passed back a couple of times
Harmon then attempted to make
home. but first threw the ball home
and he was put out.
With the exception of this there
was little excitement shown. Some
good batting and fielding was don at
different stages of the game Yakima
secured eight safe hits and Prosser
three, the only three-bagger being
made by Kohls of the Tigers. Shaw
scored for the Tigers in the first in
ming and the score was not tied I'm
til the first of the fourth. In the
first of the fifth Horton made another
for Yakima on Kobls' three Dagger.
From then on the game was quiet,
but interesting, when the tigers
made four runs, after which no more
runs were made by either side.

HOTEL BUSINESS
IS INCREASING
GROWS 80 PER CENT IN PAST
MONTH.
ONE NIGHT CLERK GIVES UP
ROOM TO A BeLATED GUEST
People are Turned Away Some
Nights-HOtels Are in Ex-
cellent Condition.

If the recent increase in the tran
sient trade at some of the leading no.
tells of the city is any indication of
prosperity and progress, North
Yakima is forging ahead rapidly.
When visited by Herald man last
night Manager w. c. Schroeder of
the Yakima hotel at first was loath
to make any statement, but finally
said: The last week of the past
month shows an increase of from 80
to 40 per cent over the correspond
ing week in the month of July. While
We have only been here three months
and are not familiar with the con-
ditions of a year ago, we are getting
ready to start Improvements in the
hotel Immediately after the state
fair. We will invest fully $4,000,
which shows the confidence we have
in the future OF North North Yaki-
ma. People" continued Mr..
Schroeder. ARE simply amazed at
The growth and general condition of
the city and the surrounding coun-
try"
In speaking of the increase Of
business l. B. Turmoil, proprietor OF
the Pacific hotel, said: Trade is
very gratifying at present, showing
an increase of the number of guests
stopping here to be about so to 40
per cent within the last ten days.
Mr.. Turmoil then proceeded to the
refrigerator in the rear of the ho-
tel, which is veritable little
cooler" Meats and dairy products
are kept in perfectly frozen con-
dition rivaing the store rooms of
the large cold storage plants in pre-
serving the contents in a fresh con-
dition. Everything was scrupulous-
ly neat and clean Even the alley
was free from any kind of refuse,
not even a barrel being in sight.
When questioned in regard to the
general condition of business Charlie;
Washington stated that it was all
that could be desired and that many
guests had to be turned away, as
rooms could not be found for them.
The demand for rooms Is so great
that even the night clerk vacated his
room for the accommodation Of a
guest. Business has increased
fully 40 per cent within the last
week and there have been an av-
erage Of from eight to ten land buy
ers registered here every day for
more than a week"
Asked If the same conditions pre-
vailed at the Bartholet. Night Clerk
B. ]. Dougherty said the business
had increased fully 80 per cent re-
Gently. and that 1t was often found
necessary to turn transients away,
as all of the rooms were occupied.
