Crowded House
GreetS Ministries.
Event Went Off In Regular PROBES.
sional Style and Pleased
In Every Respect.

One of the largest audiences which
has greeted performance in the Baraga
Opera House this season, was that
which was present at the presentation
.of the local talent minstrel which was
given Wednesday evening by the
number of enthusiastic young people of
the village.
The doors Of the theater were opened
at 7:l6 and before ten minutes the
house was packed to capacity and the
S. r. o. sign hung out, and by the
time that the performance began no
standing room was even available.
Promptly at the hour advertised the
curtain was rung up and presented to
the vast audience q semi-circle Of the
best array of local talent procursble in
the place, all in black-face and high
spirits.
This gay assemblage was artistically
presided over by George Deffoe in the
capacity Of interlocutor, and at the
conclusion Of q beautiful overture by
the orchestra, q bright and snappy
chorus entitled "Dear Old ireland was
excellently rendered by the full chorus
which was q very fitting selection for
the day and occasion.
Following in the wake Of the chorus
were the various solos by members of
the company and end men, the same
being cleverly interpreted with num-
Der Of side-splitting jokes by the jovial
comedians, Messrs Frank Strickland
and Chauncy E. st. German, in which
q number of the citizens Of the village
came in for share of the "hot shots. t"
Il is with q feeling of regret that

of the program, for the manner in
which they were rendered is deserving
and, we are proud to say, would have
done credit to professionals and trust
that each participant will feel that what
we have said will be taken by them as
a personal compliment.
We, feel, however that special notice
is in order for Mr.. and Mrs. N. Stein,
who have had the work Of drilling the
GLORIOUS and orchestra. For four weeks
past they have given their unstinted
attention to the careful preparation Of
the musical end Of the performance
and thereby brought the whole up Z
the high standard of perfection will
which it was rendered, and many were
the splendid compliments paid then
for their work.
For the benefit of those who wer
interested in the welfare Of the show
we are requested to state that tn

Like . Roenteen Picture.

As long ago as 1795 Leipsic house

by something closely resembling q
Roentgen picture. The story tells Of
the Countess Abillinia, who gave her
heart to the knight Gibello. The
knightly lover was thoughtless enough
to kill his lady loves father. her af.
lection turned to hatred, she vowed
to kill him. In q dream she saw the
man who had fascinated her, and she
stood. ready to slay him, when sud-
denly his form changed, and before
her stood a grinning skeleton, saying:
II have already been punished" This
scene is illustrated in the old book.

NEW MCKEE BRIDGE
CONSIDERED TODAY
Business Men and Ranchers to Meet
With the County Commissioners
and Present Plans Considered

A Yakima avenue bridge across
the river and into the Mckee will be
considered by the\ county commits
sioners today when the Mckee .reH-
dents and others appear before the
county commissioners relative to the
road recently asked for into the
Mckee from the North end of the
Fourth street or Selah bridge. The
county recently in answer to a petit
ton from Mckee people decided in
favor of the roadway but the move
ment in favor of the bridge HAVING
arisen in the meantime no award Of
a contract has been made. The sub
Ject is up for discussion today. Prop
erty owners in the, city and Mckee land
owners are to appear before the oom-
missioners and petition for the bridge.
Among other things to which the
attention of the commissioners will he
called is the fact that the general
bridge. fund of the county for 1898
was $4,000 of which $15,9OO or "a
per cent was the North Yakima por-
ton of the tax. In it's statement of
assets the Fourth street bridge Is es-
timated at $22,62O, and the present
Mckee bridge. at s14;SO0.
A strong plea, IL necessary, will be
put up before the county commission
ers today in behalf of the structure.

into fruit conditions and The likeli-

Finds But Fey Peaches.
u do not find IS many peaches
in the country as I :oLni last year.
said Mr.. ODER "but those Of your
growers who have any will clean up q
nice sum for there o!s very few to be
found anywhere. I found some on the
Snake river but not at Lewistor-Clark-
ston. However, considering the new
orchards which are coin'rg into hear
Ing I am Of the opinion that the gen.
eral fruit business, at large, will ag-
did last year despite what I nave
heard about shortages"
Reduce Icing Charges
Mr. ODER says that the railroad is
installing in a number of its refrigera-
tor cars insulation similar to that in
the special car tested last year from
the Thompson fruit house here. This is
preceding and will reduce the cost
to the shipper from about $50 to less
than SIS, he hopes, for refrigeration.
Cares proceeded and iced here will be
able to go through to st. Paul without
further icing at all. The cars are
supposed to be able to retain their
temperature, after cooling, for y
hours. All the cars for the refrigera-
tor service built for next year will be
constructed on the principle of the car
already tested here.
Talks With j. l.. Hughes.
In connection with the preceding
of cars Mr.. ODER had a conversation
with ]. L. Hughes of the ice plant.
Others he talked with were Fred
Thompson, J. M. Perry and the Hor-

DONALD GOES BEYOND GAP
Brings Strahorn to North Yakima In
Hurry to Learn What Is in the
Wind in Railroad Circles.

George Donald sent surveying
Granger Friday and in the afternoon
r. E. Strahorn arrived in North Yak
ina to ascertain what the move
means. Mr.. Strahorn talked about
for time with a number Of peo-
pie and then started east again on
No. 4. The Northern Pacific raiload
is making the way of the North Coast
people dreary and tiresome one and
this latest move is something on
which information Is sought.
George Donald's railroad, the Ne
ches & Valley. 1t is said, will run
through the Mckee, the Mckee gap,
down through the Zillah district and
connect with the present Grandview-
Granger railroad at Granger. This 10
the latest report and it is based on L
number OF things additional to the
fact that the engineering crew which
has been working in the Mckee went
through to Granger Friday. Parker
Ziliah people said two weeks ago that
they had been told they would have a
railroad operating through their
country to North Yakima before fall
Road East of the River.
Building the Grandview- Granger
railroad into North Yakima to the
east OF the Yakima river is a plan
which has several times before been
talked Of and on the recent memoir
able visit of Howard Elliott to this
city ii was declared that such was the
intention. 1t appears to be, accord
ing to those who are watching the
situation, the road to do the work be-
ing the North Yakima & Valley road.
In this work 1t gets into territory
which has been looked upon favor
ably by the eastern men and others
who came west to investigate the
st~"et railway proposition. Without
exception these men declared the
Parker-Zillah country to be the Sec
ton demanding immediate occupa-
ton In this they met some local op-
position as it was the desire of some
that street railway extension be car
ried on first in and about North Yak
ina. If the Naches Valley railroad
is being extended as was announced
Friday, through to Granger 1t, would
seem that electric line builders are
not the only ones to like that sec
ton.

WILL TEST PLAN TO KILL FLIES
Health Department to Try Suggestion
of POst-Intelligencer
Subscriber.

SEATTLE. Wash, May 6.-The
plan submitted by "An Old Sub
scriber" for getting rid of flies in the
house which was published in the
Post-Intelligencer for Monday, May 8,
will be given an official test by the
city meteorological laboratory under
the direction of DR.. J. e. Crichton,
commissioner of health.
1.-THE plan is as good a one as has
come to nay attention." said DR.. Crich-
ton yesterday. ITO actually get rid
of flies in the house is a puzzling prob
lem. Flies can be eliminated to
great extent by protecting their breed
ing places In manure heaps, dirty gar
bage cans, cesspools. spittoons, and all
places where filth is collected. If the
household is kept clean of filth, refuse
and uncovered food there will be less
to attract them indoors. However,
they will come despite this, especially
when food is being prepared or eaten.
Careful screening of the windows
and doors is probably the most effect
i've method of keeping flies out. 1t is
possible, however, to, make the house
unattractive for flies by such formu-
la as the Post-Intelligencer published,
duu IL SeeIlS u me IHdC INlS plan Is
we'll worth a trial. We will conduct
a number of tests as to it's efficiency.
Personally, 1 doubt If the solution Of
carbolic acid suggested is quite strong
enough and I. feel sure it would not
kill other vermin. but this can best be
determined by experiment"
The suggestion which appeared in
the Post-Intelligencer is to boil for
five minutes pint of water in which
has been poured a quarter Of tea
spoonful Of carbolic acid. During the
five minutes that this solution is boil
ing all doors and windows should be
kept tightly closed. The author Of the
suggestion claims that what flies have.
not been killed by the fumes will at
once leave the house and if the pro-
cess is repeated about twice a week a
house can be kept free from flies.
