came into his bank a needy man with a
wild look in hit eyes, who said: “I gueea
I’ll take that money.” “What money?”
“There’s $600,00) to my credit here, ain’t
there?” The cashier thought he was
talking with an escaped Inmate of the In

have made a miatake,” said he. Then
bin visitor's eyen began to roll stran/elv;
he rubbed them with hia hand, and a
sheepish expression re me over hla face.
"What—what’s the matter?” he asked.
A moment later it came out that tin* man

believe he was rich, and had recovered
himself in the bank. lie «as as poor aa

The Italic-* ThnrrMoHhtaiueer: The
roiacarriiigv of Ju*tk« in the acquittal of
Dr. McDow, who killed Mr. Dawson, the
editor of the Charlestown, 8. C., paper,
has been commented on adversely l>y the
pres* of the country, and no doubt the
verdict was a travesty upon law and pro
priety. But wc do not believe that the
sooth is more blamable in this regard
than the north, or South Carolina more
censurable than Oregon. Juries have ar
rived at strange conclusions in many
cases, and frequently the guilty have es
caped and the innocent been punished.
This has become so often the case and se
well understood that one having right on
his side does not wish a jury trial, bat
when he has not a shadow of right or
justice in his demands will desire a jury
of his peers. The origin of trial by jury
was consonant with human freedom, and
1 was greater security for Saxon, Dane or
I Norman under the English system of
being tried by their peers than in conti
nental countries where other methods
prevailed. This “trial by peers" was
never in force in American Jurisprudence,
because the net-crafty never existed.
When the bitter race prejudice spread
over Great Britain, consequent upon
Danish and Norman conquests, this prin
cipal in jury trials was a safeguard which
could not be overcome, and protected the
different races in the enjoyment of cer
tain rights. Tids idea that Saxons would
give Saxons nearer exact justice and Nor
mans Normans wot the leading virtue of
jury trials, and when race prejudice died
out, and the heterogeneous people by the
lapse of centuries and intermingling of
blood became homogeneous, it ceased to
be meritorious. In America this virtue
of trial by one’s peers never attained any
prominence, for the colonies fonnded bv
the Puritans and the Pilgrims were verv
democratic in their tendencies. There
may be other good things connected with
juries in the trials of causes; but for
some time we have believed the attend
ing evils were greater than the benefits,
and that human freedom and intelligence
would take a stride forward if juries wen
completely abolished in our courts of law.
It is not necessary to pick out tbs ac
quittal of Dr. Me Dow aa particularly
prominent in the flagrant manner in
which a brutal murderer went unwhipped
of jnatice. There have in Oregon been
eaaea in which an guilty men have beau
given license to prey upon communities.
The Sooth Carolina jury consisted ol
seven white men and five colored men,
and the verdict was about the same as
might have been expected from any
other. It apparently makes little differ
ence whether a jury is white or Mack,
composed of South Carolinians or New
England Yankees, the verdict is as in
comprehensible in one case as in the
other, and right and justice have as fair
standing in one portion of the country as
in an other. Laws would be enforced in
every part of the country with more ex
actness, and criminals would meet
more frequently their just deserts if juries
were unknown. Lawyers would be forced
to devote more time to a thorough knowl
edge of the science of jurisprudence and
less to the arts of duplicity and decep
tion. In fact, without juries, the world
would be much better and human Ills
and property mors secure. Rogues and
rascals would find it harder to ply their
avocations and honest men and workers
snsisr.

A ■MUllfal and Praspereus City la

There arc many cities which were lo
cated by accident. North Yakima ia not
one of them. It was located only after a '
thorough investigation of the advantages '
which a town located on that particular
site ought to enjoy. Its founders laid it '
out on a generous plan and made all of
thlir calculation* (or a populous and pros
perous city. The streets were made broad
and lined on either aide with beautiful '
shade trees, and with streams of living '
w ater, which flow nine or ten months in
every year. It is rare (hat such complete
preparations for a beautiful city are made
previous to its settlement—at the lime '
; when most detail* of the plan can be heat
I arranged—and the result is that the viai-
I tor here to-day finds, not only on* of the '
| most prosperous cities in the west, bat
| also a city of surpassing loveliness and
beauty.
now rr maa oaowy.
You will not find North Yakima on '
any except the very recent map# of the
United Hu to, simply because there was
nothing here to map until three or four 1
years ago, when the town was laid out '
and immediately began to grow sod pros
per. Today it lias a population of 2800 1
souls and supports sixty-five business ea- 1
tablisbments, which transacted a business
aggregating more than $2,600,000 during
the year 1888. There are two national
banks, with a combined capital of $127,-
OuO, and carrying deposits aggregating
f-’Oj.UOO, The saeeaesd valuation of prop- 1
erty last August was $426,000, which la <
about one-third of its actual value, and 1
the total tax levy for all purposes was <
three per cent of this one-third valuation, ■
equal to one percent of the actual or mar- 1
ket value of the property. With this ex- <
tremely low rate of taxation many im- '
provements have been carried on, which
place the town in the (root rank of west- >
ern cities. An efficient municipal gov
ernment is maintained. The city ia finely <
laid out, the streets kapt in good order, <
and one of the very first moves was in the 1
direction of providing for schools and
churches. The town has two large brick
school boose* and a third is soon to b* |
built; five churches, including on* of |
native stone and another one of brick (
under contract; a large, two-story brick ,
opera house, with a sealing capacity of ,
thirteen hundred; four hotels, one of ,
which, a two-story brick lOuxlta fret, (
has just been completed; many other ,
costly and attractive private and public ,
structures; three weekly newspapers; ,
water works system and electric light ,
plant in process of construction: and, 1
strange to say, only four saloons. A ,
cigar factory haa just been established, a ,
cannery is expected to locate here for the |
coming season's work, a large woolen
manufacturing concern has mads a'prop- j
ositkm for th* erection of a factory here, ,
and other important enterprise# are ex- ,
pec ted to develop ia the near future. AU ,
of this, let it be remembered, haa been ,
accomplished ia Ism than four years and |
without anything partaking of the char- j
sc ter of the modem ''boom.' 1 Every *
progressive step has a bona fide resource ,
behind it. Every improvement made la |
solid and substantial. Every investment t
baa proved safe, sure and profitable.
WHY IT HAS OSOWK. ,
Nature has don* much for North Yak
ima. It ia located in the midst of the
great Yakima country, an agricultural (
region of unsurpassed fertility, and meat ,
stand without a rival aa tbs central and ,
chief commercial city of this great see- ,
lion. It ia prominently located on the .
great Northern Pacific railroad, and has ,
tributary to it the only accessible passes <
through tbs mountains, by which other ,
competing railroads can reach tide water. ,
It has a glorious climate, a healthy loca- ,
tioa, pure and ever living water, grand |
mountain scenery, and is surrounded by ,
a splendid farming, mining and stock ,
country. These are the conditions which ,
contributed to the location of the dty, ,
and have produced the unsurpassed ,
growth and prosperity of which I have ,
spoken. In addition to these natural ad- j
vantages, the people of the city are so- {
titled to great credit (or the part they j
have played ia ita development. Tkty (
have come here from all over the land. ,
They have pulled off their costa Snd fine ,
to work to build up a prosperous com- 4
inanity, sod their efforts have baas richly |
rewarded. The bane of many western ,
cities is a drunken and disorderly people,
and a tough, riff-raff element in society. \
Ido not had than here. On the con- <
trary, 1 find aa honsat, shrewd and law- ,
abiding people, paogresaive and tally
alive to the magnificent possibilities of ,
their country, and ready to mast the ,
stranger with aa errand on half way
ground. 1 find a city to which a maa
may coma and sank a boose, fseiiag as- ,
stared that all will be wall, and that bis <
children will have every religion*, cduca- ,
tfonal and social advantage.
TUB YAKIMA coourar.
The Yakima country, el which Uw ,
city of North Yakima to the chief com- ,
menial center, comprises that part of
Washington lying between the Cascade
mountains on tbs west and the Colombia
river on tM oast, drained by the Yakima
river and its tributaries. It includes tbir- ,
ton rich valley*, betides a large area of
fertile land and hilly timber land, and
also take* In a considerable portion of
the broad plain of the Colombia. The
main stream which drain* this region ia
tit* Yakima river, which take* Us n*e in
the several small lakes near the very
crest of the Cascades, and meanders
down the mountains and through the val
ley* to the mighty Columbia. • From
source to mouth the Yakima ia a vapid
stream, having an average fall of twenty
/•et to the mile. It receives a number of
tributaries from both sides, all of which
are of inestimable benefit to the adjacent
country, furnishing irrigation for the
thrifty farms in the valley. The descent
of thto streams is so rapid that it ia easy
to lead ditches of water from them through
the soft soil to irrigate as large tract* as
may be desired. The main ditches are
easily dog, and when these are done all
the farmer has to do when he desires to
Ist the water on his fields, ia to ran fur
rows from the main ditches, through the
fields. Wheu there is sufficient moisture
on the land, a few minutes' work wUh
the hoe shuts off the stream and tbs crop*
grow on without danger of damage from
either drought or flood. It is better than
the rain direct from the clouds, (or the
water goes just where you want it to go,
and in such volume a* it is wanted.
Under this system the Yakima country ia
capable of growing a remarkable range of
vegetable products. All the small grains
—wheat, oats, barley, rye. buckwheat,
etc*,—grow as well as iu any part of the
country. Corn and tobacco are grown to
perfect 100, and sorghum is ait excellent
crop. Vegetables and root crops of all
sort* yield abundantly. «>ne of the most
valuable crops is hops, of which there ia
a very large acreage. All the ordinary
fruits flourish, including the finest qual
ity of peaches, pears, grapes sod quinces,
which can be grown to complete satisfac
tion. ItMSbort, it ia the paradise of the
agriculturalist—a region where he can
defy the elements and produce any crop
under the son. Eastern farmers will
rend this sod accuse me of exaggeration.
Let them corns bars and set for them
selves. I might be able to exaggerate in
writing of this section, but I doubt it.
The word Yakima, an Indian name, is
said to mean “a great auccotasb garden.”
Whether this is tbs correct definstioo or
not, that is almost what the Yakima
country amounts to, after the eofl has
bean irrigated and tickled with the hoe.

STOCK EAIOWO, MQUttAAS, ETC.
The Yakima country italic a splendid
grating country, evidenced by the fact
that there are now pastured on the bunch
great ranges of Yakima county alone
which by no means includea all the re
gion known aa the Yakima country, nor
ail that tribatary to North Yakima about
350.00U aheap, 125.000 home, and 250,000
cattle. This is superb grating land, and
the stockmen dislike to give it np. but,
whan required by aettlan, it will be
found that these bunch grass ranges are
splendid grain lands. It is also rich in
minerals. Placer mining has bean car
ried on to some extent, and there are
quarts ledges osar the Yakima which will
undoubtedly be worked when transporta
tion facilities are better. The little pros
pecting that has been done there ie said
to yield promising results in gold. Iron
is found in paying quantities m some sec
tions. Coal is everywhere found in ebon
dance, sufficient to insure a supply for all
the manufacturing that can possible
crowd Into the Yakima country. Marble,
limestone,'day, etc., are among the other
valuable mineral resources. These areas
yet practically undeveloped, but the
future will bring them to the front.
There are also many tracts of heavily
timbered lands of fir, plus and cedar,
which only need the "open sesame" of
duck and capital to make them veritable
mince of wealth.
