THE YAM HERALD. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER », im Divinum Kittitas County.—A petition has been numerously signed and will be presented to the legislature asking for a division of Kittitas county and for the formation of a new county to bo known os Grant, with county seat at Cle-Klum. The only opposition to this division comes from the merchants, bankers, and real estate men of Ellensburgh who fear the building of a town of importance in the proposed county, which, with its rich mining interests will rival Ellensburgh and take therefrom much of the trade now recieved from the western portion of the county. The farmers and* taxpayers aside from the classes named are favora ble to the division as the heavy tax which a lawless element at Koslyn sad dles on Kittilas has become very burden some and has occasioned much grumbling. The proposed division lines commence at a point where the township line between townships twenty-three and twenty-four crosses the range line between eighteen and nineteen east, Willamette meridian, and running thence south on said line to the township lino between township nineteen and twenty; thence west on said line between townships nineteen and twenty to range line between ranges seventeen and eighteen; thence south on said range line to township lino between townships sixteen and seventeen; thence west along said township line to the Ns tehee* river; thence northerly along the main channel of said river to the summit of the Cascade mountains or southwest corner of Pierce county; thence north along the eastern boundaries of fierce, King and Snohomish counties to the main channel of the Wenatchie river; thence down said river to whore said river crosses the township line between townships twenty-three and twenty-four; thence south on said township line to the point ot beginning. Land Decision Affecting Sixty Thou sand Acres.— Commissioner Groff, of the general land office, has instructed the register and receiver of the local land office to allow the application of Charles W. Young to make timber culture entry of the southwest quarter of section 34, township 14, north range 18 east. Young’s application was rejected for the reason that the land in question was covered by a pending desert land application of Paul W. Law, made April 26.1888. Law’s ap plication was one of one hundred and three made during the great rush incident totlie report that the Sunnyside ditch was to be built by a company headed by Mr. Sears of Tacoma. At that time the applicants tendered as initial payment twenty-five cents i»er acre, which tender was rejected, and fifty cents per acre de manded on the ground that the land was double minimum, being within the rail road limits. It was agreed among the claimants and the local land officers that the application of Richard Strobach should be taken up on ap|>eal and that the other applications should be held in abeyance until a decision should be ren dered. The action of the local officers was sustained and on September 0,1889, no further appeals having been takes, the register and receiver were instructed to cancel all such applications, and that such applications were no bar to the allowance of other entries or filings. Commissioner Groff holds that a refusal to receive fees or purchase money tendered is equivalent to a rejection of an application, and is sufficient notice to the party in interest. From Politics to Rkuuion.— The Chris tian church has been the scene of inter esting meetings of late which have been largely attended. There were twelve who entered the fold on Sunday last, among whom was Sam Vincent. Mr. Vincent is well known throughout the northwest, having been proprietor of the Oakes House, Cheney, sergeant-at-arms of the last territorial council, and more recently a special timber agent of the interior de partment. Mr. Viuceut’s many friends were somewhat startled over the an* nouncementof his “change of heart,” as the step from politics to religion is. con sidered a long one; but all unite in wish ing him much happiness in the new sphere he has embraced. Collision on thk Noetiiebn.— There was a close call for a disastrous collision on the Northern Pacific at Palmer, a sta tion near Tacoma, Monday. The east and west bound passengers rounded a curve and crashed together before the en gines could be stopped. Fortunately, owing to the proximity of the trains to the station, they were not going at a high rate of speed and thus hundreds of lives were probably saved, as both trains were heavily ladened. The engines were badly wrecked and the passengers well shaken up, but no ether damage resulted. The cause of the accident isto be investigated, and in the meantime several of the train men have been laid off. Attrhftko Jail Bbkakino.— Last Sun day night the seven prisoners confined in the city jail attempted to break out. They had removed the bricks to the outer layer, from a space large enough to admit the passage of a body, when Policeman Stout tumbled to the racket and anchored them with ball and chain. The next morning, under the advice of the mayor and justice, fhey were conveyed by Mar shal Cock to the city limits and informed that if their ugly mugs were again seen around North Yakima they would be vagged and given sixty days each at hard labor. They accepted the terms and de camped. Am Eucraic Light Plant Received.— At various times during the past four weeks there have been received consign ments consisting of copper wire, convert ers, globes and an engine, at the local Northern Pacific office, until now there is stored in the warehouse a complete elec tric light plant. The consignees are the Union Construction Company, and while it is not known who compose the com pany, the fact that the plant is here is conclusive that North Yakima wiU soon be lighted by electricity.

How Pasco CaH be luuoatbo.—Engi neer* have recently placed their Instru ments on the Colombia river at the high est point of Idlest'* rapids, and the result was that it was found to be 400 feet above sea level. This measurement was taken with a view to finding whether or not the I‘asto country could be watered from the Columbia, but as Ainsworth is but 250 feet above sea level and Pasco no less it is declared impracticable. The fall of the Columbia is so slight in this distance that but for the volume of water the peri meter would cause a friction that would scarcely allow the water to move. From the head of the rapids to Pasco is about sixty miles, and as the rapids cover a dis tance of from seven to ten miles, and the fall is thirty feet, it leaves only twenty j feet (all from the foot of the rapids to Pasco, a distance of about fifty miles. The Yakima river has an estimated tall of fifteen feet to the mile, ami it is be lieved by engineers that this is the only practicable source from which water can be drawn to irrigate the Pasco region. A Profitable Crop row Yakima.— Mr. George B. Ferguson, of San Francisco, who is here looking after the McDaniel- Ferguson contest case, said, in a conver sation with a Herald representative re cently, "How is it the farmers here don't go more extensively into tlte business of growing beans? I’m told the country is well adapted to this industry, and in Cal ifornia it is most profitably carried on and on a large scale. Beans this year arc quoted at cents, and the figures re ceived for (he crop for the past five years have been very remunerative to the grower. In California good bean lands pay heavy interest on SSOO per acre, and there is no reason the crop should not lie as profitable here, as there is a splendid market on the Hound, large quantities lieing consumed in the logging camps and on board ships.” Hn TutU Hutu Ire HIM. The polygamous Turkish beys and agas, whose hitherto regular supply of Circas sian girls from the Caucasus has been cut off from them since the annexation of the province by Russia, have recourse now to a bold system of rape. They swoop down upon an Armenian village with their armed acolytes, and carry off to their harems, by main force, as many good looking girls and women as they can lay hands on. This is permitted to tliem, and the modus operand! by which the abduction of Ar menian girls is rendered legal by the Moslem judges may be summoned up as follows: When the relatives present themselves in court to claim the abducted victim, the ravishers are ready with a brace of Moslem witnesses (100 could be produced if wanted), who declare on oath that the kidnapped woman pronounced in their presence the regular formula of the Moslem faith: “There is no God but God, and Mohammed is his prophet.” The judge thereupon dismisses the case on the ground that the stolen and ravished girl has, by that profession, abjured her former faith and embraced Mohammed anism. And the verdict of theae upright judges is not to be set aside.— Sew Re view. National Surgical Institute.
