THE YAHMA HERALD. THURSDAY FIB. 31, ISM. Bull Fighting in Yakima.?Spain and Mexico have their famed bull fights, but grander and not so brutal contests are often witnessed on the Moxee company?s cattle ranch between the long horned Hereford and the polled Angus bolls. These thoroughbred cattle seem to have a natural antipathy for each other and will fight for hours. One of these magnificent Itrutes will sometimes await with head in air and (Ire ineye the passing of a whole band of cattle to seek some well matched foe of the other breed with which to give battle. The polled cattle are the quicker of the two, and seldom receive any in- juries from the horns of their antagonists. When the foes have made their match, they will back off for a distance of ten or fifteen feet and then make a terrific charge, coming together with fearful force. Oc- casionally the nimble and powerful polled Angus will get his head beneath the breast of his Hereford rival and throw him clear into the air. These fights will often last an hour, to be renewed, after the antagonists have quenched their burn- ing thirst at a neighboring spring, and continued until exhausted nature patches np a temporary truce. A Bm Way to Independence.? ?There in more money in hogs (or the man of email capital than anything elee,? said H. H. Allen, of the firm of Snipoe A Allen, the leading cattle raiaera of cen- tral Washington, to a Herald represent- ative the other day. ?I will give yon an illustration,? he continued, ?which will convince you. Of course you know, with our cattle interests, we have littletime to devote to hogs, but in 1887 I invested $l5O in Berkahires. Since that time I have sold hogs to the value of S6OJ, cured S9OO worth of bacon and hams, and have 50 head of hogs left. If better returns can be shown in any other business on so small an amount of capital invested, 1 would like to hear of it? Mr. Allen is right. With alfalfa to fatten and grain to harden any man with small means can get independently rich raising hogs in the Yakima country. A Badly Needed County Road.? The settlers of the Cowychee valley are ex- tremely anxious for the county to give them a road along the creek, from Silas W. Morton?s ranch to the Cowychee bridge. In the past year a couple of county roads have been vacated and fenced in, and, as a stfult, the fifty or sixty families in the Cowychee are obliged to travel over a heavy grade and away around by Wide Hollow in order to reach North Yakima to do their trading. In addition to the proposed road saving ma- terial distance in travel, the grades are much easier, and double the amount of freight can be hauled per wagon. Citi- xens of North Yakima should co-operate with the settlers of the Cowychee inthis matter and use their influence, by peti- tion and otherwise, with the county com- tnissiongrs to have this road established. Vancouver & Yakima Railroad.? The construction train has finished distribut- ing the gravel for ballasting 6 miles of track, and the first section of the road on the west is practically completed. A side track has been put in at logging camp / No. 1, and the hauling the logs for the ' mills has commenced. Another engine, f heavier than No. 1, has Iteon ordered, and and will arrive for use on the road in a few weeks. Construction work on the second section is going steadily forward, the fine weather being improved to the full extent. The Situation at Ro.-lyn.? The negroes imported to the Roslyn coal mines have lieen put to work and there is every pros- pect that shipments from mines Nos. 1 and 2 will soon lie made. The disturbing factors of the white miners have gener- ally left for other parts, and those miners remaining are in the main property hold- ers in Roslyn and the best class of the late operatives. A gentleman recently from Roslyn says the remaining whites may be given an opportunity to go into the mines with tlie more sombre-hued miners. Sai-r or the Prosser Figuring kfiix.? The Prosser roller flour mill, one of the host properties in the county, was sold thia week by Mr. Heinssrling to George Taylor, of the Wenas, for $12,500. Emery Taylor will at once move to Prosser and take charge of the mill. The Horse Heaven country, which will ultimately be- come one of the most extensive and best grain producing sections in the territory, is directly tributary to Prosser, and will insure that point becoming in time a flourishing town. Burning or Kinneyvillr.? Jas. Kin- ney, of the might-have-been town of Kin- ney, located a few miles from Prosser, ex- perienced quite a loss from fire Wednes- day night, February 14, when his dwell- ing burned to the ground. Mr. Kinney was in the bouse and asleep when the fire started, and had barely time to get oat, let alone saving any of the contents of the building. The fire was evidently the result of sparks thrown out from the . stove. The ?Mammoth?? Mine.?A. J. Knott and other Portland capitalists have made a proposition to bond, for $50,000, the Mammoth mine, located in the Cle-Elum district, and develop the same. The own- ers of the ?Mammoth?? are A 1 Churchill, Jeff McDaniel. T.. J. V. Clark and J. Greeves. The assays received from this mine rpn from sixty to nine hundred dol- lars per ton, and it Is considered as good if not the best mine along the Yakima. Bau or iRR College Addition.? J. H. Thomas and Allen C. Mason recently platted the College addition of 72 lots in the northeastern part of the city. A few days ago Mr. Mason sold his half to John Vanderbilt, of New York, for $2500 and yesterday Mr. Thomas sold his interest to Mrs. Gertrude Robinson, of Corning, N. Y., for a like figure. The sales were mads through the agency of Fechter A Law. MMLBREVITIES. ?The bond boy* netted |BO on their donee Bt. Valentine's night. ?MacLeon A Heed received from the east this week a 3400 pound safe. -Who are Solomon A Gould?

Roaf, prescription clerk for Allen A Chapman, now has a telephone line running from the stove to his residence. ?Mr. E. L. Furness has been appointed division claim agent of the Northern Pa- cificrailroad from Pasco west, with head- quarters at Tacoma. ?Messrs. Mulford A Vance will soon open up a complete line of gents? furnish- ing goods in the building now occupied by Haines A Traynor. ?A night school for those who are un- able to attend in the day time was inaug- urated Monday night by Prof. Lawrence with fifteen scholars. ?The contract (or building a new jail at Ooldendale has been let to the Pauly Jail Company, of St. Louis. The build- ing complete is to cost $4500. ?Jock Morgan will commence making butler at his dairy in April. The ma- chinery is operated by steam. Cows to the number of 180 will be milcbed. ?Mrs. J. K. Tufft, a recent arrival in thia city, died on Sunday, February 17. Mrs. Tufft has been so ill since the birth of her son that her death was not unex- pected. ?lt is said that Wm. McMicken, of Olympia, will be an aspirant for the office of collector of customs liefore the new ad- ministration, with a lively chance (or success. -W. T. Wilson, treasurer of the Knights of Labor assembly at Roslyn, and a Jus- tice of the peace, has been declared to be a defaulter to that society In the amount of $ 142. ?E. N. Lyon, of Kittitas county, aged 64 years, died on the 12th inst. of heart disease. Mr. Lyon was one of the pio- neers of Washington and Oregon. He settled on the Yakima 21 years ago. ?Settlers up the Ahtanum valley have lield two meetings of late and are consid- erably agitated over the diverting of the water from the Ahtanum creek to irrigate the bench lands to the north. ?John Vanderbilt, a scion of the house that Vander?blit, New York, has lately become largely interested in Yakima property. The family have always been money-makers, and the progeny evidently know a good thing when they see it. ?Sulla are about to be brought in this city against U. 8. Marshal T. J. Hamil- ton and hia bondsmen to enforce the col- lection of accounts for which Marshal Hamilton has received the money from the government, but failed to tom it over to the rightful claimants. ?L. S. Hewlett has bought the A. W. Engle property on the northeast comer oi Second and Chestnut streets. Price, $2200. Mr. Howlett considers he has made a clean thousand dollars by his bar- gain. It will result in a greater gain rather than a loss, for Second street prop- erty will command fancy figures ere long. ?Governor Semple has tendered W. H. Reed, of Walla Walla, the position of representative of the territory at a meet- ing to he called soon in Washington city by the interstate commission of railroad commissioners from every state und ter- ritory at the union and special represent- atives where there are no commissioners. ?Allen C. Mason, the shrewd and wealthy real estate man of Tacoma, who has done so much to build up that city, has over $40,000 invested in Yakima realty, besides upwards of SBOOO in dwell- ing houses. Mr. Mason proposes build- ing a doacn more houses this coming season. He will be here ina few days to look after his interests. ?L. N. Rice, of Beattie, who has been m the city for several days past, reports that Seattle is using 45 bead of cattle and 100 sheep per day. He calculates, for the first five months of 1880, Portland and the Sound towns will require 18,000 head of cattle. Beeves are now selling for five cents per pound on foot on the west side of the mountains. ?Although the Hnuu> is new in the journalistic field, it would like to any a good word for a worthy contemporary and extend fraternal greeting. The Orting Oracle is almost as recent an enterprise as the Hbrald, and it gives evidence of being a financial success, which it cer- tainly deserves; for of all the well edited papers inthe territory, it certainly ranks among the best It la also neat typo- graphically, and the community in which It is published should give it a hearty support. _ Will Eclipse Anything in Washington. ?The Masons of North Yakima propose building this spring for the uses of their order a temple of brick and stone to cost $15,000. A large portion of the stock has already been subscribed, and it is claimed there willbe no difficulty in securing the balance. The building, according to the plans under consideration, promises to be the finest Masonic building in the terri- tory.

The governor is empowered to call the election for choosing members to the state legislature, and congressmen. Senators and representatives are to take their seats at the December session of congress. A Frightful Res a way.? On Sunday the 17th inst. a serious runaway accident occurred at Ellensburgh which nearly proved fatal to three lives. Miss Viva Wiswell had been visiting friends at Kl- lensburgh for several weeks past and had made all preparations to return home on that day. Mitchell Gilliam, accompanied by Mias Prowell, sister of C. 8. Prowell, had taken Miss Wiswell in a carriage to the depot and was aliont to assist her to alight on the platform when an engine ?blew off? steam. The horses became frightened, wheeled suddenly around, and dashed madly up the street. Mr. Uilliam held on to the reins as long as possible and was dragged over the road for some distance but finally the lines were wrenched from his hands and the team then flew on unimpeded. Miss Prowell was thrown out, early in the run- away, and her head struck against a tele- graph pole with great force. Hhe waa picked up in an insensible condition and continued in that state all day and the following night, during which time her lifewas despaired of, but good medical ser- vices and careful nursing have placed her in a fair way to speedy recovery. Miss Wiswell found no means of escape from the carriage. At Sboody?s corner she to was thrown out, but made a fortunate land- ing and received no injuries more serious than a bruise or two, and a severe shock to her nervous system, which have kept her confined to her bed during the past week. Mr. Gilliam?s injuries are slight. Rapid Incebase in Valuations.? Five yean ago the Holton track, which was bought last week by the Ontario Land Co., for |35,750, was sold for the mere pittance of SOO. Is there any country in the world where property valuations have advanced more rapidly than in Yakima and yet the prices are still much too low and are bound to continue on the upward move. The representatives of the Onta- rio Land Co., which is a very wealthy corporation, have traveled all over the country and have large holdings in sev- eral of the progressive southern cities, in Duluth, Spokane Falls and Tacoma, and in every instance have their Judgment proven good and their investments profit- able. The com pan v propose holding a portion of the Holton tract for capital grounds and to plat and improve the bal- ance. A street railway is one of the im- provements in view. ?lf your back aches, or if you are suf- fering from inflammation of the kidneys, seminal weakness, brick dust deposit in the urine, or in fact any kidney, urinary or liver complaint, do not waste money on worthless liniments or plasters, but strike the seat of the disease at once by using the greatest of all known remedies, Ore- gon Kidney Tea. It is pleasant to take, is purely vegetable, and has never failed to give entire satisfaction. Hold by Allen AChapman. Another Yakima Corporation.? The Yakima Real Estate and Improvement Company of North Yakima has been in- corporated. The capital stock is $60,000. The trustees are F. R. Reed, L. Mac- Lean, H.C. Humphrey, J. 1). Cornett, and George Donald of North Yakima, and Geo. W. Bird and H. S. Huson of Tacoma. The object of the company is to transact a general real estate and im- provement business. Amatkcb Dramatic Entkrtainmrnt. ? The literary societies of Prof. Lawrence's room inthe public school will give a dra- matic entertainment at the opera house on Marcho, entitled ?The Danger Signal."

Cunningham, secretary and treasurer of the Moxee company, left on Wednesday for Portland. P. W. Law, Fred Reed and J. P. Pugs- ley, Yakima real estate men, were regis- tered at Tacoma during the past week. Nicholas McCoy left Wednesday for the Sound country with the intention of tak- ing in Tacoma, Seattle, Victoria and Portland. Dr. W. H. Hare and John Wallace have formed a co-partnership, and are now engaged in the real estate business at Ellensburgh. W. D. Rolierts, who is in charge of G. W. Hunt's sawmills in the Cle-Elutn country, was in town Wednesday and subscribed for the Herald. D. A. McDonald and Mias Ella Dunn, daughter of Capt. Robt. Dunn, ofKonne- wock, were married at the Guilland bouse. Monday evening,by the Rer. Mr. Walker. Irn M. Knits has been confirmed by the uenate register of the North Yakima land office, and writes that he will arrive here and enter upon the discharge of the duties on March 1. Agent H. C. Humphrey, of the North- ern Pacific company, is daily expecting the arrival of hi* brother, G. W. Jones, of Wisconsin. Mr. Jones has been in very poor health of late, and comes here inthe hope of tottering his physical con- dition. Herbert Folger, manager of the Port- land branch of the New Zealand Insur- ance Company, represented - locally by Rodman A Eshelman, waa in the city last week and paid the Hxbald a friendly call, a high compliment, and the price of a yearly subscription. Watson C. Squire passed through tbe city to-day en route for New York to at- tend the centennial celebration of tbe in- auguration of George Washington as president of the United States, he having been appointed by Governor Semple a commissioner to the celebration from this territory. Ex-Gov. Squire will also attend the Harrison inaugural ceremonies. E. Cory, formerly of North Yakima, bat now a rancher near Waterville, Doug- las county, has been in the city for the post week. In addition to falling heir to property valued at $25,000, by the death of a distant relative. Mr. Cory has one of the best claims in the upper country. He is a larky man, and tbe Herald wishes him, as it does all of its subscribers, long life and continued prosperity. ?The firm of I. H. Dills A Co. are put- ting in new shelving in the store now oc- cupied by them, and, in order to make room for new goods, will dispose of white unlaundried shirts at 65 cts., linen fronts; all wool underwear from $2 a suit up- wards. The only establishment in the city that carries a full line exclusively of gents? furnishing goods. Also, we would remind the people of North Yakima that we will sell our winter stock of underwear very cheap rather than carry it over to another season. * Will Be Prepared.? A Tacoma paper Bays, in speaking of the removal of the capital: ?When the hour of conflict ap- proaches Yskimw will be prepared for the fight, not with her ammunition wasted in a futile effort to create a ?boom? on a future possibility, but with her batteries loaded for victory with the confidence of \u25a0access. ? KDCCATtONAL,. ?Now, Haaman, captured by the host of the king of Hyria, waa a great man with his master, and honorable, because by himthe Lord had given deliverance unto Hyria; he was also a mighty man in valor ?but he waa a leper.? The above waa the text of a very pow - erful and searching sermon we bad the pleasure of listening to a few evenings since. The eloquent divine explained that Haaman was a great and powerful man socially and politically?a force In the kingdom ol Syria; ?but? he waa a leper. There waa one drawback. From this the worthy preacher Justly drew the conclusion that there were many exalted and noble men among us. Still, it matters not how high or respected a man may be, there is always a defect aomewhere; that we all bare our ?bate? ?an aphorism which extends to all man- kind, including even the ?fair sex.? Ah we sat under the ?droppings of the sanctuary? and listened to the inspired words, our thoughts took a more worldly range, and, whilst accepting the truth of the statement? in invitum?as far as a personal application is concerned, we won- dered if the same Just criticism might not apply to municipalities, and, particularly, North Yakima? We need better school facilities. Our rapidly increasing population demands other, new and more extended accommo- dations. ?But? if we must have a new school house, where shall it be located? The personal interest of one says here, ?but? another desires It there; -and thus it goes all over our city, county and ter- ritory. The ?huts? are depriving our children of proper school privileges, stag- nating public improvement and growth, and, for aught we know, keeping the ter ritory out ol the onion. Here in our city the envy and selfish- ness of the ?bote? is unproductive of good remits, and, if not heeded, will generate a narrow public policy which will stifle all progress. We in this beautiful city cannot afford to he under the rule of the ?huts,? and most in self-protection ?hot? them into a broad-gauge method of looking at things. About the best proposition to commence with is a new school bouse of elegant and snitaMe equipments for our children, and ?but? the matter of location around un- til we suit the necessities of its patrons, the children, without regard to the spec- ulative wishes of those who have lota toselL Prsnsgt Rctwrws.

THE YAHMA HERALD.THURSDAY FIB. 31, ISM.

Bull Fighting in Yakima.?Spain and

Mexico have their famed bull fights, butgrander and not so brutal contests areoften witnessed on the Moxee company?scattle ranch between the long hornedHereford and the polled Angus bolls.These thoroughbred cattle seem to have anatural antipathy for each other and willfight for hours. One of these magnificentItrutes will sometimes await with head inair and (Ire ineye the passing of a wholeband of cattle to seek some well matchedfoe of the other breed with which to givebattle. The polled cattle are the quickerof the two, and seldom receive any in-juries from the horns of their antagonists.When the foes have made their match,they will back off for a distance of ten orfifteen feet and then make a terrific charge,coming together with fearful force. Oc-casionally the nimble and powerful polledAngus will get his head beneath thebreast of his Hereford rival and throw

him clear into the air. These fights willoften last an hour, to be renewed, afterthe antagonists have quenched their burn-

ing thirst at a neighboring spring, andcontinued untilexhausted nature patchesnp a temporary truce.

A Bm Way to Independence.??There in more money in hogs (or the manof email capital than anything elee,? saidH. H. Allen, of the firm of Snipoe AAllen, the leading cattle raiaera of cen-tral Washington, to a Herald represent-ative the other day. ?I will give yon anillustration,? he continued, ?which will

convince you. Of course you know, withour cattle interests, we have littletime todevote to hogs, but in 1887 I invested $l5Oin Berkahires. Since that time I havesold hogs to the value of S6OJ, cured S9OOworth of bacon and hams, and have 50head of hogs left. If better returns canbe shown in any other business on so

small an amount of capital invested, 1

would like to hear of it? Mr. Allen isright. With alfalfa tofatten and grain toharden any man with small means canget independently rich raising hogs in

the Yakima country.

A Badly Needed County Road.? Thesettlers of the Cowychee valley are ex-tremely anxious for the county to give

them a road along the creek, from SilasW. Morton?s ranch to the Cowycheebridge. In the past year a couple of

county roads have been vacated and

fenced in, and, as a stfult, the fifty orsixty families in the Cowychee are obligedto travel over a heavy grade and awayaround by Wide Hollow inorder to reachNorth Yakima to do their trading. Inaddition to the proposed road saving ma-terial distance in travel, the grades aremuch easier, and double the amount of

freight can be hauled per wagon. Citi-xens of North Yakima should co-operatewith the settlers of the Cowychee inthismatter and use their influence, by peti-tion and otherwise, with the county com-tnissiongrs to have this road established.

Vancouver & Yakima Railroad.? Theconstruction train has finished distribut-ing the gravel for ballasting 6 miles oftrack, and the first section of the roadon the west is practically completed. Aside track has been put in at logging camp

/ No. 1, and the hauling the logs for the'

mills has commenced. Another engine,f heavier than No. 1, has Iteon ordered, and

and will arrive for use on the road in afew weeks. Construction work on thesecond section is going steadily forward,the fine weather being improved to thefull extent.

The Situation at Ro.-lyn.? The negroesimported to the Roslyn coal mines havelieen put to work and there is every pros-pect that shipments from mines Nos. 1and 2 willsoon lie made. The disturbingfactors of the white miners have gener-ally left for other parts, and those minersremaining are in the main property hold-ers in Roslyn and the best class of thelate operatives. A gentleman recentlyfrom Roslyn says the remaining whitesmay be given an opportunity to go intothe mines with tlie more sombre-huedminers.

Sai-r orthe Prosser Figuring kfiix.?The Prosser roller flour mill, one of thehost properties in the county, was soldthia week by Mr. Heinssrling to GeorgeTaylor, of the Wenas, for $12,500. EmeryTaylor will at once move to Prosser andtake charge of the mill.

vices and careful nursing have placed herin a fair way to speedy recovery. MissWiswell found no means of escape fromthe carriage.

?Now, Haaman, captured by the hostof the king of Hyria, waa a great man withhis master, and honorable, because byhimthe Lord had given deliverance untoHyria; he was also a mighty man in valor?but he waa a leper.?

The above waa the text of a very pow -

erful and searching sermon we bad thepleasure of listening to a few evenings

since.The eloquent divine explained that

Haaman was a great and powerful mansocially and politically?a force In thekingdom ol Syria; ?but? he waa a leper.There waa one drawback.

From this the worthy preacher Justlydrew the conclusion that there were manyexalted and noble men among us. Still,it matters not how high or respected aman may be, there is always a defectaomewhere; that we all bare our ?bate??an aphorism which extends to all man-kind, including even the ?fair sex.?

Ah we sat under the ?droppings of thesanctuary? and listened to the inspiredwords, our thoughts took a more worldlyrange, and, whilst accepting the truth ofthe statement? in invitum?as far as apersonal application is concerned, we won-dered if the same Just criticism might notapply to municipalities, and, particularly,North Yakima?

We need better school facilities. Ourrapidly increasing population demandsother, new and more extended accommo-dations. ?But? if we must have a new

school house, where shall it be located?The personal interest of one says here,?but? another desires It there; -and thusitgoes all over our city, county and ter-ritory. The ?huts? are depriving ourchildren of proper school privileges, stag-nating public improvement and growth,and, for aught we know, keeping the territory out ol the onion.

Here inour city the envy and selfish-ness of the ?bote? is unproductive of goodremits, and, if not heeded, will generatea narrow public policy which will stifle

all progress.We in this beautiful city cannot afford

to he under the rule of the ?huts,? andmost in self-protection ?hot? them into abroad-gauge method of looking at things.

About the best proposition to commencewith is a new school bouse of elegant andsnitaMe equipments for our children, and?but? the matter of location around un-til we suit the necessities of its patrons,the children, without regard to the spec-ulative wishes of those who have lotatoselL
