YAKIMA THE CAPITAL.
While R was by no means a Yakima
Idea to have the state capital location
valid no this >ear, there seem* to U no
objection offered, so for a* this part of
thi state Is concerned. The quest ion ma>
be settled this fall, and it may be sent
over he another vote, in case of nochoh-e.
In either event Yakima is reasonably cer
tain to be the place selected. It is tin
place natoriilly lent adapted, as has been
demonstrated many times and there is a
widespread opinion that the capital, when
moved from Oiwnpia, will come to Yak
ima. Even the Olyui|>ia people believe
this, who* they are liooeat with them
aelyps. while i< Walla Walla ami Spokane
Falls ami Vancouver, one never hears a
contrary opinion. For certain prudential
reasons that no one can vender at Tacoma
ami Seattle express no ciioi a as between
Yakima and Kliensburgh. The El lens
burgh idea was born of a spirit of rivalry
and fostered by the smart growth of the
town for two years peat There is noth
ing to wonder at In this, either. Ellens
borgh and Paso have each an undisputed
right to get into the contest
and win, too, If it is in either’*
power to do so. All we claim in this con
nect ion is that among the people through
out the state the Ellenal-nrgb and Pasco
idaaa are afterthoughts, r\ presenting sim
ply wideawake ambitions. Yakima will
move to the front «i h He claims, argu
ments and many friends, and has no
doubts as to the peeper recognition. It
la at lb*, rent cross-roads of travel throu h
the state, and is laid off ai.h a view to
being the capital. Voting will decide the
matter—not Mastering—and we shall be
at the polls with our ticket. Meanwhile,
our friends will occaafonaliv hear from ns.
ItrITJY TALK.
The vkit of the Senatorial Committee
on irrigation came upon ua so suddenly
that it was impossible to do anything in
the way of entertaining. However, tlie
Moxee farms furnished the forenoon’*
employment in the way of examining ir
rigated crops, awl before the special
train pulled oat there was a hurried meet
ing, which will, at least, pat os on record
in n fairly important character in the re
port of the committee. One thing k cer
tain. and that la. Major Howell, who k
really the brains of the whole irrigation
project, wan impressed with nor locality
as on# of the i.nportaat centres of opera
tion. awl It k reason ih'e to suppose th.it
we shall hepr from this matter after an
other session <4 congress, in a way that
will amount to much mwe than k
thought hy those who do nnt fully under
stand Major P.iweli’a opinion.
Iknotor Stewart, the chairman of the
committee, is, of coarse, very much in
terested. and he spared no pains to make
n showing f»r Eastern Washington. Ms
took testimony from Capt. Kingsbury,
Col. Cock and oth* n», who are familiar
with tlie possibilities hereabouts, and im
pressed npon the Chamber of Com men e
ths fart that he desired to incorporate in
hk report some farther definite informa
tion in regard to the Yakima and Its
tributaries with a view to making nos of
them in an argument to be hereafter pre
sented in favor of n large irrigation pro
ject, to be undertaken hy the general pnv
ernmdnt fur the benefit of various sections
ol the coon try.
The purpose as stated by Senator Stew
art, In Ml to bring water in a ditch to
ovwry man’s door, but to have grant res
ervoirs in which to s ore n supply that
may ho drawn upon by communities and
individuals who will bwild ditches of
their own. la order to make tbkacbeme
of the government better understood, It
may be slated that If fully carried out.
ditch levels will bo ran and staked the

It is now evident that the constitutional
convention at Olytup'a will not hold ita
session more than a week or ten days
longer at the outsile. Much discussion
and ilelibcration has served to take the
rough edges off the • Uu.-e-> restricting «> r
porations and foreign capital, and it is
doubtless the opinion, generally, now,
that the constitution will he read'.ly
adopted, or, to speak more properly, rati
fied by the people at the polls. The fact
that state officers will be voted for at the
same time as the adopt on of the consti
tution, in itself makes it practically cer
tain that there will be few voles a.aiust
the document which is the basis for ail
other voting, and it may be said with
some heartiness, now that the rough
edges have been taken off, that it will on
the a hole a pretty good constitution.

of knowing, hut it is certai i that the con
vention could be properly carol be here
in North Yakima, ami if th< re i* any de
sire to change, the invitation aid lie ex
tended. There is, however, so much
thin-akinned sentimentality in this mat
ter of inviting conventions that one hardly
<iares to be cordial witluNg first consult
ing every little loan in the territory. As
a matter of fact, Walla Walls did not par
ticularly care for the repuNi an conven
tion, but some how the snap vote by tt le
graph served to throw it there. Hail the

It has been generally believed that this
region is especially adapted to the culti

TIM MaU Capital*
Seattle Pot-IntflUgruetr: Tlie local i. .n \
of the stats capital will soon he one tiie
important questions More the iwople.
Nearly every town of importance is an'
applicant for honors and advantages of
the capital, and there are already propo
sit inns relating to the donation of hinds,
which have very much the look of diro t j
bids. Bat this k not a case Inwhlih
subsidies can properly be offered or re
ceived. The question should be consid
ered In Its relations to public convenience
and advanta.e, and without referem-e to
any such temporary advantages as may
be involved in subsidies, either in money
or land.
To establish the capital either in the;
extreme eastern or western division* of
the stale would, in our Judgment, lie a
aeri me mistake. It would work a *erioua
hardship upon half the people, while giv
ing the other half an ui fair ndvanta e.
It would be a se.ere tax upon the remote
counties to he compeilod to pay the mile
age of their official* in their frequent
viaite to the capital, and in many other
ways sorb a location would lie a a an e of
annoyance and ex penes to the penile.
We hive fortunately two important
lowna in the m'ddle di\ aion of the nlnte.
both provided with the maun* of trans
portation and either suitable in every
way for the capital. We refrr, of courne,
to Ellen*bnrh and North Yakima. To
of tbe*e pi ice* tlie capital ought to j
go—to which of them it uiailer* little so
far as the general interest* of the territory j
are concerned. In support of the chdui*
of either of thane towns th re isearcely ,
any argument that will m* apply with!
equal point and for>-e to the oth r aa well,
i Both are beautifully situated and am- 1
[ rounded. Both are energetic ami ex-;
I psnding. Both are practically near the
geographi-al center of the stale. One is a*
• well adapted for the ra|*ltal aa the other.

HOW ABOUT YAKIMA?
Listen to the Story as it is Told by Careful
Observers from Abroad.

The new State Capital will prolwhly l« at North Yakima.
{Spokane Falh Re iew.)
The t«at and mort extensive agri nltnral re ion In the Yakima Land District
and in the Territory, lie** about the C.ty of North Yakima unit is known as the
Yakima Valley.

To day, where four a o were uncultivated prairiea, the home of great herds
of unreetrai.ied wild • altle and vh ioua liaiida of ceynae poniea who knew no halter
now stands the City of North Yakima, tlie Queen oi Eastern Washington.
(A ’or hweil Magaxi..r.)
The knot of valleys which meet at the new town of North Yakima seem* a bit
of Southern California here in Die north. Public op'nion in all parts of Washing
ton has sett let I upon this place as the Capital of the new State.
(Poillai.d Oiego ian .)
There !■* no Just reason why thin dtv and county, when they shall have reached
their ma .mum in |Mipulation, should not have in the city from 10,uu.« to 2&,uuo
and the county 40,(kt0 t0 6J,00 . Neither i< there any good reason why Uiev should
not be eventually union; the very wedth'eat towns and counties in Washington
Territory. All the material i lements that go to make a big and prosperous city are
here. The lot I taxation of the county ia only mills which includes the total
ta<, territorial ail led. There U not a p tuper in the county. The taxation ia heralded
to the world ca the lowest known from and including Minnesota to and including
California. If there ia another county in a new country that can show as low a
taxation the public would like to know it.
(Tacoma Ledger.)
The valley in which the city of N.mh Yakima is situated in the center of a
series of very fertile valleys which open into it and have grown famous for their
products. With a splendid a rie> Uurul country surrounding it and the peculiar
advantages of t* location for railroad approaches North Yakima cannot but figure
in the future brilliantly.
(Spolane Falh Renew.)
Although lean than forty mi lea apart the difference in climate between Yakima
in Yakim i county and Ellenshur.h in Kltt'tas county ia a1m0.,; as great as that
between a northern and souther i latitude. The valley surrounding El lens burgh
is e *-el lent for pmdiv ing ..r»in, while in the vallevs near Yakima the fanners are
devoting more attention to fruits, vegetables, ho|»s, tobacco and similar crops,
wbi h can only l« grown in a warm climate.

It was a great exhibition of the wealth oi California, Imt 1 found no better
specimens of vegetables and many var alien of fruit than Washington Territory pro
duces. I can go ovrrinto the Yakima «ountry and in two dava collect finer pro
ducts in those lines than 1 saw in California. The Yakima peaches are of better
qiial ty and flavor than any rained in Cali tor nia. the apples are superior and the
prunes are away ahead of nnvihing 1 ever saw. Then, too. thev raise finer melona,
squashes and all kinds of vegetables in the Yakima country than anv prudmed in
California. *
