THE YAKIMA HERALD. Official Finer if Yatiaa Comity. THURSDAY. -MAY 23. I«W. Anothkb School Hots* Wanted.— Aa will be seen by reference to the Hkbald’h advertising columns, the directors of ibis school district have called for a special election fur the purpose of increasing the school accommodations, which, owing to the rapid growth of-North Yakima, have proved entirely inadequate. Two propo sitions are submitted to the voters. The first is to levy a tax of lit,ooo for the purpose of building a school house on the west side of the track; and the second to levy a tax of IfIOOO to build an addition to the present school house. Between these two propositions there should be no hesi tancy. In addition to the school accom modations being Inadequate an unneces sary hardship la placed upon the little candidates (or education, many of whom have to walk a great distance and they reach the school house door fagged out and unfitted for study. Should the “ad dition" proposition be favorably received by the voters at the polls it wonid be no longer than a year before the question wonid come up again and a demand would be made from the west side that their necsseities be met. No section of Yakima ie growing more rapidly than the west aide and the number of children of school age from that quarter is already large and constantly increasing.

Haw Ik* VaklM CMMUf lapreMMl •n4 Cafiaral a New Jersey He. The following is from the Monmouth. New Jersey, Ikmocrai: According to your request to hear some thing from me in regard to this great j«art of the west, 1 will endeavor to give you some pointa regarding this valley, the drat place we stopped at and wliere I shall most probably locate. North Yak ima is located in the Yakima valley, which lies between the north and south passes of the Cascade range of mountains. To the south Mount Adams and to the north Mount Rainier lift their snow-clad peaks, the latter being the highest peak in Washington, 14,444 feet above the level of the sea. The climate of this and the surrounding valleys is peculiar. It is a dry climate. No rain falls In summer nor does any snow of any amount fall in winter. In the spring there are a few refreshing showers but no very copious rainfall. The mild cbinook wind that blows up the Columbia river from the ocean, enters the Y’akima valley and keeps out the chilling currents from the north that would other wise prevail there. The natural features ol the country seem particularly calculated to secure s mild and equable climate, the mountain spurs on the north serving as s protection to the wintry blasts, and the valleys so situated as to draw the warm winds from the tropical ocean currents through them. There are scarcely a dozen days in the year when the sun does not shine. Since our arrival we have had the ther mometer up to 82 degrees, but the cool mountain breezes seem to temper the fierce rays of old Sol, and you do not real ise that it is summer weather. The scarcity of rain renders it necessary that all the crops shout 1 be rained by means of irrigation. To the New Jersey farmers this would seem to be a great trouble and expense, but It is not so. Perfect irrigation may be obtained so eas ily, and kept under such complete <t>n trol at all times, that it is deemed bettor | than the natural rainfall of any region. It places under the farmer’s control that ’ which in the best naturally watered sec tion* is entirely beyond it. The descent of tlte streams through the small valleys ia so rapid that it Ih easy to lead ditches, of water from them through the soft soil to irrigate as large tracts as may be de-. sired. The main ditches are easily dug, and, when these are done, all the farmer has to do when he desires to lot water on his fields is to run furrows through his fields from the main ditches. This is known as the trickling system. When there is sufficient moisture on the land a few minutes work with a hoe shuts off the streams and the crojw grow on without danger of damage from either drought or flood. In a futuife letter I will give you a description of the flow-age system of irri gation as practiced by the Moxee Com pany, who have over 3000 acres of land under cultivation. This valley seems capable of growing almost eveiV kind of farm products— wheat, oats, rye, barley, corn, buckwheat, etc. All grow well. Corn especially is a my successful crop! One of the most valuable crops is hops, of which there is a large acreage. Yakima hops have the reputation of being the largest and finest on the Pacific coast, and sh they average about two thousand pounds to the acre their cultivation Is very profitable. An other important thing to take into con sideration is the first cost of preparing the laud for cultivation. There are no trees to cut down. The ground is covered with.a heavy growth of sage brush, which it cleared by contract for three dollars an sees. Thin never reappears after the ground la owes plowed. The irrigating ditches are then dug and the land is ready for cultivation no fertilizers of any kind required. Any vegetables found in the east can be produced here and at less cost than there. It is certainly a great country and after reading an article this morning in the Home Newt, of New Bruns wick, on the failure of farmers in Mon mouth county to make a living any longer, I could not help- thinking, why do not some of them come to this great country where they can make it pay and not have to work half so hard as in the east? I mean to tell you the almost magical growth of this town in the four years of its existence, but my letter is already to long and I will defer it until my next. Geo. 8. Couarxa.
