To the People of Yakima County
The erection Of the Yakima County
building at the A.-Y.-P. exposition
grounds is progressing like clockwork
and is progressing rapidly. Accord
ing to the terms Of the contract VIC
have entered into with the const.,,c-
ton company, the building is to be
completed by the 18th day o. Mly. at
which time We shall be expected to
pay the contractors FOR the job and
we should thea Immediately beam to
put in place the products that go to
make up our Yakima County Exhibit,
as it will take some time to clean up
the building and get this large ex-
| hibit in place.
We hereby request all the good peo-
pile of Yakima county to lend every az
sistance in getting together an exhibit
that will be an inspiration to the peo-
pie of the world. Because of the won
derful advantages and resources of
this valley this can be done if all will
do their part and give prompt assist
lance. not only in the donating IF
funds: but also in the work of collect
ing the several classes of products to
be exhibited.
The work of collections of funds for
this project is well in hand; as is also
to a certain extent, the work of pro-
curing the various classes of products
to be placed for exhibit; but it has
been impossible for the secretary to
get the names of all of the persons
and firms that we should expect TO
furnish exhibits of products.
We want to come in immediate
touch now with the manufacturers of
alfalfa meal, the manufacturers of
brick, the manufacturers of cement
blocks, the manufacturers of vinegar
and other by-products of fruit, our
manufacturers Of brooms. We want
oil cauneries Of the. county to furnish
us products of their establishment; We
want oil nurseries OF the county to
each furnish an exhibit Of the pro-
ducts Of their toii.
We want some persons who know
about hops to get together and set
US an exhibit Of hops; We have asked
the Rex Spray Co. to put In an ex-
hibit, and we have asked the Cas-
cade Lum Der Co. to furnish a nice OK
hibit Of their products: and the Mil
ling Cos to fall in line with a good
exhibit. ss .r

to get up mineral exhibit: Geo.
Weikel and L. d. s. Patton and Fred
Parker have been asked to get toseth-
or q coal exhibit: and I take this OPP
portunity to ask all others in the coun-
~ who are interested in these pro.
ducts to fall in line and lend assist
ance to these committees and thus
make their work easier and at the
same time more effective.
Mr.. Charles F. Bailey Of Granger
has been appointed to attend to the
preliminary work in getting up a large
register for visitors. Mr.. Bailey has
also been appointed as chairman Of
the committee to decide what print
ed advertising matter shall be put in
book form, this book to be pronounce
cd the official book Of Yakima county.
and there will bo allowed to be handed
out at the Yakima County Exhibit no
advertising matter except that which
has been thoroughly inspected and
favorably passed upon by this adver-
Using committee for Yakima county.
Mr.. Baiiey's committee hereby re-
quests representatives from each pre-
clnct or locality throughout the coun-
~ to secure write-ups covering the adj
vantages of their particular locality
with view of inserting It in the Of
fetal book provided it passes the in
spection of the committee. and pro-
vided further that the locality has
made a satisfactory contribution to
the A.-Y.-P. xposition fund 1t IL
generally conceded by the members
Of the general A.-Y.-P. expositi
committee for this county that a pre-
cinct or locality shold not be allowed
to advertise in this official book In any
greater proportionate amount than
tho said locality has responded to the
call for funds for the A.-Y.-P. exhibit.
mention this at this time 80 that the
localities desiring to be properly re-
presented in this book can not only
get the matter together to be print
ed; but they also should get in i'm
mediately and complete the canvass
for funds.
In regard to products of the soil.
We desire that some of our people
should make a special effort to grow
especially for this purpose some early
vegetables and other products. we
want you to find US some extra fine
specimens of new growth alfalfa with
Mt least a good part of the root. We
want you TO raise some large speci-
mems of melons, pumpkins, etc. for
this special purpose. All products
that are donated 70 the committee
and are considered worthy of exhib-
iting will be plainly marked with the
name and address of the grower.

Y.-P.-E. committee will meet at Top
penish at 1890 am. Saturday. April
