We understand that a motion was un
der way today to raise money among
the business men of tbe city to repair

At the cannery in Eugene last Satur
day a run was made on tomatoes, and
1700 cans were filled. More tomatoes

In spite of all the admonitions given
concerning boys swinging on to the
rods of freight trains passing through
tbe yard, they still persist in riding, and
should their hand slip, or should they
make a miss step, they would be sent

into this matter and thus save tbe ex
pense of a funeral.
Wheat still continues to pour in faster
than ever. Some nights there are so
many teams in the city that tbe stables
and feed yards have not sufficient stall
room for tbe horses. The price still
stands at 70 cents, and to say what
change the future will bring in pi ices
would take a prophet. Many farmers,
however, look for higher prices and are
reluctant about selling.
A report from State Superintendent
Browne showing the total school popula
tion, together with the gain or loss dur-
ing the past year, gives Yakima a total

made by any county. Stevens comes

In a meeting of tbe Hook and Ladder
Company last night, a committee was
appointed to petition the council to get
a new truck with extension ladders.
An excellent truck can bo secured for
about $350, and as it is badly needed,
we hope that the council will look favor
able on their petition. At present their
outfit is such as to be next to worthless
in case of fire, and it is to be hoped that
improvements will soon be made in this
line.
A number of persons who desire to ex
bibit articles in the pavilion seem to be
laboring under the impression that tbey
are to be charged for bpace. This is not
tbe case when an exhibit is made for a
premium, and the . only case in which
charges are made is when a business
bouse puts in a display for the purpose
of advertising. Therefore, persons hav
ing articles to exhibit should not be pre
vented through fear of any charges for
exhibition room.

ent remembrance.
