PRIZE MONEY
RELATED CHECK FOR S474.6O
RECEIVED THIS MORNING BY
SECRETARY GELLATLY OF THE
COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Yakima has finally paid her debt
to Wenatchee. It must have been
gall and wormwood for the proud
Yakimaites to owe money to her
rival. The debt has been owing since
last fall, when Wenatchee carried off
the special merchants prize. This
fund was guaranteed by the mer-
chants of the city and whether or
not the money was ever collected or
whether it was collected and used
for other purposes, Wenatchee citi-
zens do not know, but anyway the
prize money did not arrive until this
morning. Many postage stamps have
been used in dunning the Yakima
people, as there have been many
places that the Commercial club
could have advantageously used the
money.
The amount of the check was
