Beattie Times: Yakima county con
sists of a rviu of brood alluvial plains,
watered by the Yakima, Notches*. Ah
tsnam and Wenos riven, and vast pla
teaus covered with a succulent bunch
grass. It extends from the summit of the
Cascade mountains on the west to the
banks of the broad and mighty Columbia
on the east, lying between the Wsnatcble
on. the north and the Klickitat ranges of
mountains ou the south. It embraces an
area of country 110 milsa north and south
and seventy miles east and west, lying
about 135 east of Seattle. About one
third of this immense acreage consists of
the alluvial plains above spoken of, which
are in fact old lake bottoms and on usually
fertile, and when cultivated and brought
under the fructifying influence o i irriga
tion produce wonderful and unparalleled
results.
In the center of this great valley lies
the city of North Yakima. This beauti
ful and prosperous little metropolis, the
count}' seat of Yakima county and the
I distributing point for an immense agri
cultural, mining and cattle country, is
located at the junction of the Yakima
and Natcbsez rivers, which Is the pretti
est location for a town in Central Wash
ington. It has nine large, fertile and pro
ductive valleys immediately tributary,
namely: Relah, Blmcoe, Moxee, Parker
Bottom. Ahtannm. Wide Hollow, Cow
yche, Natcbeez and Wenas. North Yak
ima is laid out on a broad goage plan.
The alrerte are 80 and 100 fort wide,
with twenty loot alloys. Business lots
are 25x140. On either side of the streets
are Irrigating ditches through which flow
ever living water. Rows of silver poplar,
balm and chestnut trees have been
planted on either side of the main streets,
which, now being four years old, are very
handsome as well as useful.
North Yakima, although but four years
old, is one of the most promising cities in
northwest. It is not a boom town, but
every progressive step taken has a bona
fide resource behind it.Confidence has been
edablished, values are stable, and, nat
urally. investors place tbeir money in
Yakima, believing it to be a aafe, sure
and profitable investment
Four years ago the spot where this
beautiful city now stands was a sage
brush plain, with but a single settler’s
cabin; Unlay she is a beautiful flourish
ing city of 2800 well dressed, well fed and
money making people, all earnest and
honest in their belief and confidence in
North Yakima and the great Yakima
country. hundred and eighty

population and erected public buildings
that any city a dozen tiuwe it* size might

Among its ersdUable improvement ’
most notable are:

Anew bfickopera house costing |12,-

brains, nerve and enterprise of its builder
sad owner, A. F. Swltaer. This ssagnili

Birmingham, Ala., May 30.—There ia a
worthy dtisen of Birmingham who is
ready to throttle the man wboeaya “spec
ulation” to him. bonne months ago Mr.
Abraham Stayn, an Isrealite, moved from
a neighboring city to tbia plane with the
idea of making a fortune in a hurry in
some of the rapid ways he had beard of.
Hia expectations were so sanguine, and
be repeated them to openly, that a com
bination of leading citisene was effected
against him. Mr. Carlisle Mulroe, s
prominent banker, to whom Stayn had
spoken on the subject of investments,
had promised to keep an eye open. Mr.
Mulroe is a lover of (un, and is suspected
| of being the originator of the scheme,
which wss as novel as it was successful.
In accordance with a preconcerted ar
rangement Mr. Mulroe informed Ptayn
that he had dissevered a good thing, but
; pretty much all the stock was tsksn,
though he might squeeze him in. It was
| a new enterprise which bad s comer in s
line that would yield Immense profits,
and the meeting of the projectors would
be held a week lienee for organisation.
That was all Mulroe was willing to di
vulge. If Stayn was filling to go in
' with this -much knowledge Mr. Mnlroe
might secure some of the stock for him.
Stayn jumped at the proposition, and the
interview ended by bis giving* Mulroe a
check for |15,0&), for which he took a re
ceipt and ho was s happy man.
Some days later Stayn received a cir
cular letter, private and confidential, no
tifying him to attend a meeting of the
promoters of the enterprise to which he
had subscribed. On the night fixed Stayn
went to the designated place, a hall which
had boon hired by the conspirators. The
gathering embraced some of tlie most
prominent business men of the city
merchants, bankers, railroad men, end
others. The meeting wae called to order
end the form of electing a secretary and
committee on credentials was carried out.
The chairman announced that an im
portant communication had been received
from the Mobile* committee setting forth
the grand scheme which whs now under
way. Thia paper he then directed the
secretary to read to the meeting. The
communication was heard with profound
attention The Mobile committee out
lined the enterprise, which the latter
stated was even then being put into ex
ecution.
. This enterprise was the purchase of an
island in Mobile bay, where thousands of
monkeys were to be raised annually. The
lettatset forth that twp cargoes had al
ready arrived. The plan involved the
prorogation of monkeys for use in the
cotton fields of the south. The report
stated th»t H bad been conclusively proved
that monkeys could be easily trained to
pick cotton, and that one monkey could
pick as much cotton as three negroes. In
addition, >t was shown the comparative
cost of feeding negroes and monkeys,
while there would be a tremendous sav
ing on clothing. Tbe report cloeed with
a prediction that in five years all the cot
ton in the south would to picked by
monkeys. Tlie reading was received with
grave satisfaction by the meeting, as was
agreed beforehand.
The bewildered Ktuyn looked from one
to another fare and could hardly belief
hia aeueea. Finally one gentleman aroee
and aaked some questions about the re
port, a desire to know whether
the experiment had been tested sufficient*
ly to insure Its success. This gave the
timid Stayn the outlet for his own doubts,
and he rose and expressed the fear that
the undertaking was chimerical. The
meeting, however, was overwlielmingly
the other wav, and voted for the imme
diate prosecution of the work, fitayn,
growing more nervous, urged a more
careful consideration. His imagination
aided hia fears, and be excitedly aaked
who would train the thousands of mon
keys. It was a well known fact that Ital
ians were the only people who could do
anything with monkeys, and he predicted
that the syndicate would not be able to
get Italieae to do this training. He also
predicted that the monkeys would be con
tinually escaping from their keeper and
injuring property, thereby entailing
harassing laWmits upon the syndicate.
Despite this speech the meeting resolved
to pcoeecnle the undertaking, and then
adjourned,
EaHy the following day Btayn sought
Molroe, and said he wanted to aril out
Mol roe said this could not be done right
then, as all the stock had been placed,
but finally agreed to give him what' be
bad*paid for the stock, and immediately
gave a cheek for $15,000* receiving n re
ceipt therefor. As this transaction waa
consummated a telegraph mespengar, in
pursuance of one of the details of. tbo
plot, entered with a message. It waa
read, and waa from Mobile, stating that
the price of the stock had Jumped twenty
points, and waa still booming. Mnlroa
showed tbo telegram with great exulta
tion, and Btayn turned Jtale as he togged
the return of the 'stock, bat Molroe was
obdumts, sad grimly thanked Ibe Israel

The most terrible calamity in the his
• tory of the country wae visited upon the
people of Johnstown, Peon., and either
I smaller towns in that vicinity on Friday,
■ May 31. The town of Johnstown is at
Ute continence of the Coucmaugb and
Ktooe rivers in tbf Alleghany mountains,
standing but a few feet above the level
of the rivers and surrounded on all sides
by rugged and precipitous enuntfv. About
seven miles above the town of Johnstown,
; on the Conemangh river, is situated the
latwrence reservoir, built to supply the
Pennsylvania railroad canal, hut since »t
haa not been used for that purpose, has
been looked upon as a summer resort.
The lake ie three miles long by one mile
wide, and is 150 feet deep. The lower
end of the lake was dammed up by an
exceedingly massive stone wail over 1 jt.
feet in height, measuring 90 feet at the
base and 90 feel at the top. At times
when the waters have been unusually
high, there have been alight overflows
that caused the Conemangh to flood the
low lying country, but not sufficiently
to cause much damage to property or
endanger the Hves of the inhabitants.
There are two other reservoirs Mow thU
lake for the purpose of supplying the city
of Johnstown, and the towns of Cone
maugh, Routhfolk and Woodsvilic, that
are situated on the hanks of the river,
and are also stations along the Pennsyl
vania railroad. At the confluence of
Btony creek with the Conemangh river,
the combined waters take the name of
the Kia Kiminitea river, which flows into
the Alleghany river and eventually into
the Mississippi. A freshet in the moun
j tains broke the big dam, and the mighty,
surging wall of water swept down the
valley, carrying death and destruction
I before it.
The population of Johnstown and the
surrounding towns in that portion of the
valley affected by the flnop was from
60.000 to 66,000, and when a rustling
torrent fifty feet deep swept down the
narrow valley, jt carried cities and vil
lages blfore it like shavings on a moun
tain stream. The two great forces of fire
and water, so often opposed, joined to
make the succeeding nights and days a
scene of indescribable horror and deso
lation.
The latest reports make the number of
lives lost more than eight thousand, while
the loss of property is estimated at 125.-
too,ooo. To add to the oickening hor
rors of the scene the robbery of the dead
seems to have been only too common,
and quite a number of persons who were
engaged in that ghouliaft occupation were
summarily dealt with. But against the
dark background of the awful calamity
many acts of heroism stand out in bright
relief. First among the heroes must be
placed the unknown man who rode on
horseback down the valley to warn peo
ple to take to the bills, until he was
•wept off by the flood. Many other acts
were done that make us think better of
the race.
At last reports the unidentified dead
number upwards of 3890. A thousand
men are clearing away the wreckage in
search of the missing, but the hot sun
pouring down mokes the stench unbear
able, and pneumdnia, diptberia and other
malignant diseases have made their ap
pearance. adding to the horror of the
situation. At this writing the cry is
growing to fire tha» wreckage; that the
cause of the living Is greater than that
of the dead, add in all probability before
the Herald reaches its readers this
wholesale incineration will have taken
place.
He final drew.

which In Wiled to appear at North Yak

“The combined Sella Brothers ft Barrett
circus and menagerie opened oa Friday
at Central Park to a big bouse, or rather
tent, ami the audiences have been on the
increase ever since. Last evening every
seat was filled, and there most have been
fully 7doo people present to enjoy the ex
cellent performance. The show i H even

one gets fall vs'ne for the money charged

acts and twelve races. Among the . prin
cipal features were balancing, tight rope
dancing, tumbling, vaulting, ail kinds of
trapese and horizontal bar work, juggling,
hippodrome racing, trained mules and

of Sells, and many other clever perform
ances, making an entertainment well cal

The national bank notes and fractional
currency, when first turned out of the
treasury, are very pretty to look at. Their

quantity of rose color are very pleasing to
the eye. The engraving, too, Is really

understands their manipulation perfectly,
and from whose hands they pass none
the worse for the contact. But the man
who receives them next may be b grocer's
clerk, who, disregarding their beauties,
uses bis unwashed digits that may a few
moments previously have been engaged
in handling a nice flitch of bacon, to count
the bills. The pork-butcher may be the
next one to have temporary possession of
the representatives of valoe, and while in
his custody they are sure to take on more
or less of the badge of his calling. Prob
ubly they next repose in the wallet of a
fashionable lady, and the odors of the
grease ore neutralised by musk, ylang
yisng or some one of tbs many popular
perfumes. Next they may fall into the
bands of s careless young man who

The vicissitudes of currency are many
and varied, and there in little room for
wonder that life preasea in the treasury
department find constant occupation aa
they do in turning out freah supplies of
l>aper that only too soon become reelly
“filthy lucre.” The destruction is very
rapid, and one of the chief occupations of
n large tone in the treasury is thafof sub
jecting the condemned cash to the pro
cesses by which it is finally wiped out of
existence. Several years since it was
the custom to burn the redeemed bank
notes, bonds and fractional currency, but
a more economical and in every way more
acceptable plan is now pursued. On the
White lot, immediately *in front of the
treasury, msy be noticed two brick build
ings. The largest of these is the machine
shop, carpenter and general repairing
establishment of the treasury. The other
is also an adjnnct, and is known aa the
macerating department. Here it is that
the frolicsome currency after it has been
made worthless by reason of too much
abuse, is converted into pulp that finds
it wav to the paper manufactories, where
it is
RRCONVRaraD us TO rspy a.
Here also the bond rendered useless by
redemption st expiration or some other
cause is made indistinguishable from, let
us say mortar, by an extremely simple
process. In the first place, the cur
rency is subjected to * a most rigid
scrutiny and count for the purpose of de
lecting counterfeits, and then It is turned
over to men who with a machine cancel
each note so effectually, that by no possi
bility could it ever be used again; an
other count ia then gone through with for
the purpose of checking the operators of
the machine, add preventing them from
appropriating any of the condemned
money. After the cancelling the money
is next cut In half, and once mors the
separate halves are counted, and when
ascertained to be all right, are placed in
boxes for the purpose of removing them to
TUX NACKXATncO Bt'TLDIHO
Before alluded to. These boxes are se
curely locked while in transit from the
treasury to the macerating establishment,
where they are-opened in the presence of
three representatives of the treasury, one
acting in behalf of the secretary, another
for the treasurer, and the last for the
register, for each batch ia naually accom
panied by a quantity of bonds. From the
boxes the bonds, which are cut, ore can
celled thoroughly, and the currency is
emptied into the raAerating cylinder,
which is also locked with three separate
locks, the keys of which are held by the
ofl -Srs. The process of maceration is
very simple.
THE MACBBAtINO CYUXDEB.
Is revolved by a sixty-three horse power
engine, Bad at tire same time Jets of
steam are injected into it which speedily
soften the mass of paper. The moistened
paper by its own gravity keeps dropping
and is reduced to a pulp by the sharp
ridges which form the inside of the cylin
der. After being subjected to this treat
ment for about thirty-six bourn the cylin
der is unlocked by the three officials and
the pulp Is then allowed to fail on an
elevator, which conveys it to a large tub,
where it Is thoroughly cleansed, and all
fatty matter removed br the agency el
quicklime and soda.
The washing of the pulp completes the
Meeeaa and It Is finally dumped into a
iMfep to lie until purchased. Yesterday
about four million five hundred thousand
doflars worth of bonds and currency
were placed in the macewtor. This was
an unusually large hatch, the average
“burnings,” as the niaceralings are
known, being much lees. There is now
an immense quantity of the pulp on hand,
probably ecvwal. hundred tone. This
will be sold to paper nanofaclorars. The
rate usually paid for
THE PULP
la in the vicinity of $6 per ton, and the
principal purchaser as Mr. George F. Hill,
who manufactures from it a very fine
article of paper at bis mills in George
town. An approximate estimate of the
quantity of pulp annually made out of
currency or bonds at this establish-
Hshment is six hundred and fifty tone.
The proceeds resulting from the aele of
this may be accounted as a nst gain over
the old method, as the homing of the
money or bonds required the expenditure
of as much labor as does the present
macerating system, and consumed ngreat
deal more coal. The national hank notes
are converted into pulp by the centrifugal
process Inside the treasury building, the
method adopted being almost in every re
spect similar to that panned with the
fractional currency and hoods, as describ
ed abpve. The improvement on the
burning plan ia toe obvious to need ex
tended mention. Extraordinary precau
tions were required to keep the destroyed
money from flying out of the furnace
chimney, and the odor of the burning
paper was an intolerable nuisance, and
was very injurious to the health of thoae
residing jn the neighborhood of the place
where it wascarried on. This last reason
would have been a sufficient one for
changing the method, if the additional
one of making sn absolute saving to the
government did notouggest itself.

“Wonderful I I had not the faintest idea
you bad any each country around you.
You have sufficient country around you
to justify a pity of 20,000, and more than
that your peculiar climato gives you a de

points.”
We, in arguing Yakima’s case, do not
for a moment claim to be the only point
that has any future in the state, but we
claim, know and believe, and invite in
vestigation. that we have from 76,000 to
100,000 acres of as good land tributary to
us as there is in America, and that every
acre of that land can be irrigated and put
under cultivation, and that a man can
make more clear money every year off of
20 acres of our soil than he can off of 100
•cm in any of the middle wen tern litotes.
These are facto, not figures.
We grow successfully every year to*

And recollect me thing, our crops never
fail. We have no grasshoppers, chinch
bugs or cyclones, In fact, a crop in the
Yakima country never fails, unless from
sheer neglect. We therefore claim that
the Yakima country baa no superior and
no equal in the great state of Washington
for what has baen stated above, and with

for there is something undeniably exas
perating in the harsh rustle of a starched
