in the vicinity of the hop yard are
marooned while the children on the
other side of the Yakima have been
compelled to give up all thoughts Of

lost live stock altho the majority Of
the ranchcrs took matters in time and
got all their stock to places of safety
when they heard that the water was
going to be so high. However, prac-

on these places have been washed away

partly or entirely covered with water
and a great amount of loss will result
from spoiled hay.

sudden way, has caused universal sor-
row thruout this part Of the valley.
