as any, will be turned over, formally,
from the county to the exposition
commission. There will be a formal
program, with speeches, music and
other attractive features, and all day,
in and around the county building,
which is as fine as some of the state
buildings, there will be something 9!

fund for the Yakima county rallying
day and primarily to raise money to
take the boys band to Seattle, 1.-THE
Talk of the Town" will be repeated at
the Yakima theatre on Wednesday
night next, June 2. This perform
ance, which is a musical conglomera-
ton in which local people are the
participants, was given at the theatre
a few nights ago. 1t attracted a
large crowd and was generally de-
clared to be one of the very best per-
formances ever set before the public
here. Local theatregoers who have
become so well acquainted with the
travelling companies as to constitute
themselves expert critics declare that
the chorus was made up of far pref
tier and much better singers than any
show that has ever been seen here.
The prices will be reduced on We'd
nesday night next and the money
raised will be spent on the boys, who
may be retained on the fair grounds
for three or four days. if the money
is sufficient, in order to advertise

Other Features of the Day.
Distribution of fruit on the day
mentioned, also of literature regard
ing this county, the wearing of badges
by those who attend indicating their
faith in this part of Washington, will
be part of the days program.
Recognizing that there must be
hundreds of people who have not con-
tributed to the exposition fund be-
cause of their inability to pay such
large donation as have prevailed but
who are ready to pay dollar or two
by attending the performance the
presentation of the play will give
to be presented to be patriotic at a
small expense and to their own pleas
ure. In any event the play itself Is
declared to be well worthy of a large
patronage.

Warm Welcome for the Wcalthiest
Visitors Let to Travel.

Representative of more wealth
than has ever before come to this
section" is the manner in which the
Chicago business men who are to WIS.,
it here Saturday, June 5, are described
by c. w. Mott of the Northern Pacific
railroad. He has written to local peo-
pie about the Chicago visitors, who, in
addition to being wealthy in their own
right represent wealth. at is the
best advertising opportunity Yakima
has ever had" says Mr.. Mott. Rec
ognizing this fact, j. l.. Hughes and
tae committee which is acting with
him for the entertainment of the Wis
itors are planning on half day
which will set out to best ADVANTAGE
the attractions to commercial men of
this part of Washington. The Chicago
men represent the trade extension de-
partment of the Chicago chamber of
commerce. They travel in their own
spec1al train, and they will be in this
city for five hours.
Big Reception Is Planned.
we propose to show them some
thing of which they have never even
dreamed, "said Mr.. Hughes last night.
IN the first place we will meet them
at the train with band and a chorus
which will sing their own songs and
thus greet them in a strange place
with their own words. There will be
plenty of apples in evidence. Their
train will arrive at a. m. A half
hour will be given to general CONVEX
sation, that the visitors may scatter a
little and our people get among them
At 80 o'clock they will be placed in
automobiles, each machine to have a
guide, and for two hours they will be
shown the orchards the scenery, the
business ection of the city and every
thing else to be seen in this immediate
vicinity. We will show them more
orchards in that time then they ever
heard of before, and better ones, too.
Valley Guests at Smoker.
"At 1890 o'clock there will be a
smoker at the Commercial club, at
which it is expected that representa-
tives of all the commercial clubs of
the valley will be present. That
smoker will continue until ~ o'clock
and at it there will be some speeches.
at which our people will tell some
thing and will hear some things from
the visitors. We will tell them what
we have and what we are doing. We
will show them that last year this i'm
mediate section sent out 100 cars of
fruit of which a great deal went to
their city. We will show them that
we shipped as cars of produce a day
for period of six months. We will
tell them about irrigated and irriga-
BILE Yakima. Then we will listen to
their point of view
Town to BE Decorated
Every window in the city, it is
expected, will be more attractive than
they are today, if it is possible to at
tain that end We will want to have
a lot of fruit in sight everywhere at
all times. We propose to show the
visitors fruit when they come, feed it
to them while here and send some
away with them
Across Yakima avenue we will
have big banner bearing the words
welcome, Chicago" and we propose
to do innumerable other things to i'm
press upon the members of the dele
CATION that we are somebody with
whom they can do business.

WANTS GAME
PROTEST ON SUNDAYS CONTEST
Umpire and Hard Luck Cause of De-
feat, and Want League Directors
TO Consider Feeble Excuse.

Bitter because of their defeat at the
hands of the Tigers in Sundays game,
and their drop to third place in the
percentage column of the Yakima
Valley league, the Toppenish Baseball
team, through Captain Kruse and
Manager Thomas Robbins have filed
a protest with President Payne of the
league. Hard luck and the umpire
are given as the reasons for the pro-
test, which will be heard at a meeting
of the league directors to be held in
Toppenish, Thursday afternoon at 5
o'clock.
Grounds of Protest.
The Toppenish men base their claim
on the following grounds:
'Toppenish had two men on bases,
McLain on second and Price on third,
when the batter knocked a foul fly.
The runners were over the plate when
Umpire Kelley De Priest declared the
ball foul and ordered the men back
to their bases. McLain in running
back to second failed to touch third
and was called out by the umpire.
Toppenish contends that the Jumps"
was in error in calling McLain out,
and that he is not required by the
rules to touch intervening bags under
the circumstances. AS a further con-
tention it is alleged that Pitcher Mel
son of the North Yakima team made
deliberate balk in the ninth inning,
as a result of which Thirdbaseman
Bradley of Toppenish was caught
asleep at second base. 1t is also al
legged by the Toppenish team that UNI
pire De Priest was "all to the bad"
and that his decisions invariably af-
fected Toppenish at critical stages.
Protesting ''kids."
As professors of bail games and UNI
pires the Toppenish team leads the
league. Out of three defeats that they
have suffered since the opening of the
league, two have been protested and
the loss of the other laid to the door
of Umpire Bennett of Ellensburg They
have registered formal kicks against
every umpire but Ridgway. The con-
tentions Of the Toppenish team are in
no way upheld by the rules.
