OLD TIMERS FEAR CLIMATE.
Have Learned by Experience That
February Is Capable OF Ma
king Considerable Trouble

Seductive as is the weather there
are some among the citizenship OF
this valley who are not being fooled.
These are the old timers, the men
who have been here so long that they
have learned about the winters, that
no system applies. George Donald,
pre- sident of the Yakima National
bank, calls attention to the fact that
it was late in February and early IL
March that the valley, years ago, had
the rough weather which put Snipe=
and other stock men to the bad. 1t
had been an excellent winter, much
like this, and the stock had been
turned out in February Then the
cold and snow came and it was i'm
possible to bring the animals in.
Archie Flint Loses.
Archie Flint had lot of stock one
winter that had value of over $4,000
when February started but which was
worth only 5000 when the month was
over, and the loss was due to Febru-
airy weather. Volney Taft recalls Feb
ruary weather when the horses
dropped exhausted and never rose
again. Arson S. White has vivid
recollection of two feet of snow in "a
hours late in February and that, too,
on the top of a foot of snow which
had fallen but a few days previously
Hon. A. j. Splawn recalls February
weather when the cold was so intense
that ranchers had to cut holes even
at the river for the stock to drink.
Not Much Moisture.
And there is a need now for more
snow if the range here and hereabouts
is to be any good this season. On tn,
near-in Tieton land, just west Of the
city. the moisture Is not more than
three or four inches down into the
SOIL This will be surprise to q
good many people. but such Is the
case. Arson s. White, whose men
have been digging telephone pole
holes in a number a places west OF
the city, says there IS very little mois-
ture and much less frost.
Gerald Sheeiy who was in the
Horse Heaven country recently. says
the moisture there has permeated t.
a depth ranging from IS inches t.
three feet and that the conditions in
that respect appear to be excellent for
the dry land ranchers. There has
been more snow inNthe lower valley
this year than in and near to North
Yakima, Mabton having several
inches at times when this city wa,
devoid of snow at all.

one which will interest a great many
people here as, despite rumors to the
contrary, there will be a large west

people are expecting friends, either to
locate or investigate.
From every reputable source the
information is that the travel from
the east this year will be heavier in
the aggregate than in any preceding
season. The country is becoming
better known, the doctrine of the

Much of the speculative feature has
disappeared and the froth is gone.
Railway representatives say that
their lines are preparing to carry an
enormous number of passengers, and
reports from the east are to the effect
that equipment is being overhauled
and added to for the demands ex-
pected.

HORSE AND PLATE GLASS.
Wanderings Of the Former Prove Dis
astrous to the Latter.

The two large plate glass windows
on the Main and Pearl street corner of
the Surprise Merchandise store came in
for another rude jolt this forenoon, and
for second time within a month the
castings must be fitted with new glass.
B. J.. Harrison, book agent from New
York, says he stepped into the Arcade
block for few moments and left his
horse standing unhitched at the eurbing
directly in front of the building. DUR
ing his absence, the animal was evident
ly seized with the wander-lust and start
ed out Pearl street. Reaching the cor
ner, the hub of wheel came in con-
tact with an awning fixture that fol-
lows the window from the ground up,
bending it in such way as to crack
the glass of each plate. The horse then
proceeded as far as the hotel Otis, where
passer-by stopped him.

we're Bruises.

st Adams, June 1.-Two accidents,
one of them fatal, occurred in the
''ltaly" freight yards of the Central
Vermont railroad in this city last
night George Il. Clifford, Central
yard master, was killed in one acci-
dent and Harry Staples, who was not
a railroad employe, was seriously hurt
in the other.
The former accident happened at an
early hour this morning when Clifford
was engaged with other employees in
shifting cars He went out on a string
OF cars and when he. did not return
within reasonable time the other mem
bers of the crew went back after him,
sending their engine slowly back They
found the body beside the track, both
legs and one arm being broken, the
back of the head smashed in, and the
back broken. His injuries were such
that death must have been instantane-
Gus The body win be buried at Green's
Corner, and the funeral service win be
held tomorrow afternoon
The other accident happened at $3.50
last night At that time the clerk in
the Italy yard heard cries of "Help"
'Help!" On investigation the clerk
found Staples with one arm badly
smashed and much bruised. Staples
was carried to the hospital. There
were not witnesses to this accident, or
to the other. Since Staples was not
employed by the railroad it is sup
posed that he went to the railroad
yard to get shelter from the storm aud
wandered onto the track in front Of
the north-bound freight train.
