THE YAM HERALD. Otcial Paper of Yalta Gouty. 11811 COR, Pwprlitws. 12.00 PKK ANNUM. IN ADVANCE. Uwthhi Kata Upa iyffiftiti- B. M. Rod. Editor and Badness Manager. BY HER OWN BOOTSTRAPS. The Olympia Partuan is most tiresome la its reiteration of the statement that Olympia will be the capital. It is a wearying ding-dong that ought to make the home readers more tired than it does those on the outside, for there are more of them. The latest issue begins by stating that: 11 Is nalverasllr conceded that Olympia wUI bs tbs permanent capital of tba state. It Is also dsdaisd that It oosbt to bs. To comment truthfully on this state ment it need only be remarked that it is not universally conceded that Olympia will be the permanent capital of the state, nor is H, to any great extent, declared that it ought to be. Possibly Olympia mistook the votes of those who did not want a change this year lor a declaration that she ought to be the capital. As to the universal concession part of the statement it is all humbug. Olympia would give a pretty sum if it were “uni versally conceded,” and hopes by this old-fashioned sort of reiteration and braggy editorial business to deceive some, while holding up the courage of others aort of lifting itself by its own bootstraps, as one might say. lathe same issue of the paper is a schoolmastmsh sort of admonition which shows how contentedly certain (?) they feel about the matter over there. Here It Is: It Islsbshepei that tbs capital committee havs ast 4iab«nd«d or isdied tram thaetracfle for tbs capital. Tha aaxt conteat will ba wagtd for all than Is la It hr oor opponents. Wisdom weald dictate that a plma of campaign sboald ba dstensiaid a poo aew sad the contest ba spsasd ap now. Olympia can win la the next content by ban) wee* sad the amlataaes of all bar Mends. She ahoald endeavor to keep aD of her old sad add many new Mends to the Uat We have the beat stta, moat scessrtbls and con tbs lint location and ehonld win. If it is “universally conceded,” and all that sort of thing, who are “our oppo nents” to wags such a contest; and why should tbs atate be worried by a “capital committee" made op of OlympU’s tower ing UteDects? This sort of talk is all cheap and child ish. It may be that Olympia will be the permanent capital; it may be that EUens bnrgh will be the permanent capital, and It may ba that North Yakima will be the permanent capital; bat at present writing nothing is universally conceded about any of them. In all probabil ty the question will not ba settled before the election of list, and then it will be settled by vote# and not by “universal concecskxks.” Many of these votes will bs cast by men who are not now in the state, and their choices will depend upon their What will happen daring three years no one can foretell; and why attempt it? All of ns were guilty of 100 much brag ging when the fight was on. The gener ous ones in the three leading cities went into thirs pockets to pay for piwhing of pet dolma, and there was importunate and nntlring work by night and by day. Everybody knows what everybody else attempted and what was accomplished in this business, and everybody knows that it is still an open question. It may not now be known by everybody that the chumpiset city in the state will be the one that begins now to harp on the old ques tion; but we give it out as a straight Up that such is the case. There is enough to do that is more profitable than handing eat old chertnata about the capital, now that people and money are beginning to pour into the state, and all Urn chumpy writing in Olympia or anywhere aha will not avail against the unknown footing of tbs column the Fates will eome day add. PROSPECTORS. Tl* hilU in this country have been fall of thorn thio post mm, and they have been of all kinds and conditions. There laths old “fortr-ninsr.” who thinks be knows all about it, and no one con tell him anything that he does not know ah fshdy. There is the man from Idaho, who has had big lack hack In the Corar d’Alene and “struck it rich,” bat who was crowded oat by some company, syn dicate or ram, or something of the kind, and who knows Just what a “stain” Is, and has the “biggest sort of a thing that be will open op in the spring.” Then there is the fellow who has done nothin eise hot prospect for the last “thirty years or more,” and is still prospecting, and who will be found just outside of the gates on resurrection day with the I ’richest kind of a specimen.” Then there is the wood batcher tamed prospector and miner. He knows all about it, and spends the money made during the past summer in baying add and the like to take up to the winter camp. He may be found hard at work at night grinding up rock in the mortar and patting it in to “soak” in the acid and eagerly looks for the “batten” that never shows np. Just lay bock and take poor ease after supper at night in the camp, and, while yon smoke, watch the different men. Here is one poring over “The Prospector'! Manualthere !• an other crocking oB pieces M rock and peer le( at the fresh cleavage with a "Stan hope;” there la another smashing op rock and (Hadhi not the ponder lor a"‘soak . there le another trying to study ont Prtd.

And so it will. God bless the boys; they are all working each in their different way, but to one end; they are all after the elusive metal. But they will get there. Yon bet they will. To those who know nothing about it, it may seem an easy sort of a Job to merely erawl around and pick here and there and bring down specimens. But there is geuine hard work In it. By the time yon have crawled over these rocky slopes lor half a day you will not think it Is so easy after all. Then you strike what yon think is a good thing, and dig for perhaps thirty or forty feet Into the side of the mountain and find that all your work and trouble has been thrown away and there is nothing in it after all. But do they get discouraged? Not much; they simply keep on picking and delving until they strike it again and perhaps with the same results—nothing in it. And so it com; their money is being gradually expended for grub; they finally find that the cash and grab is all cone; then they come back to the settlements and look for a Job, go to work and get heeled again, and back they go to drop their pile again. And so it goes on. But the boys win get there. The Yakima mines in the upper Natchees will prove the exception. There are fortunes there awaiting the picks of the prospector, and the claims already located will one of these days poor riches into the laps of those who develop them. It may be gold; it may be silver; or it may be lead, cop per, coal, or cinnabar; but it is there, and one of these days the Yakima mines will be of more importance than the mines of the Comstock in their palmiest days. Gladstone telephoned to Bismarck the other dmj that be had seen a man who had beard of a cable dispatch which in timated that nothing contained in Gov ernor Ferry's message to the first legisla ture of the new state had caused Dorn Pedro to leave Brasil so hurriedly. The governor's message contained—it con tained—that is to say, it set forth, to a certain extent, the necessity of wisdom on the part of the legislators. It is said that the Seattle paper which incurred the dis pleasure of the other papers by a prema ture discharge of Its contents, now tries to excuse itself on the grounds of having thoroughly examined both barrels and convincing itself that it was not loaded. Ir John L. Wilson, M. C., accomplishes one-half of all he has announced to the Washington correspondents as his win ter’s work, his suspenders will sag before spring, and by adjournment be will be as Hght-waialed as a medical example ot tight-lacing. Among other things, he has promised to cut off the northern end of the Yakima land district, and reduce the fees of the register and receiver. By this statesmanlike stroke he will aave several cents to settlers and claim-jump ers, and at the same time pay hit political debts to the people op about Waterville. Tax Seattle Port-Intelligencer and the Preu are kicking now over the course pursued by Lieut. Governor Laughton as presiding officer of the senate. These papers are a little late in the day raising a bowl now. They knew Laughton's character, sod bad no reason to believe be would Improve his record; yet they gave him their undivided support daring the canvass. They swallowed him be cause he sailed under republican colors, and they have no right to squirm because he resta uneasy on their stomachs. Fbom newspaper indications, it appears that not a few of the assembled people over in Olympia have already seen quite enough of the lieutenant governor to sat isfy them that be ia not a greet man. As a matter of fact, one seldom goes search ing among lieutenant governors for great man, at any Urns; but some were evi dently expecting more than they got in lAugbton. He seems to have been “too previous” in setting himself up for boas of tha senate. It Is very pleasant to read every day or so that the state senate met and adjourn ed after doing nothing for an hour or two. As the dolly sxpensss of kesping the wheels of government greased is in the neighborhood of a thousand dollars, in formation of this kind Is calculated to rile a man np flo that degree that he Is liable to say something that will militate against his chances of heaven. Ex-Maron T. J. V. Class is on the wsy from his grocery store here in North Yak ima to the White House in Washington, D. C., where he expects to find a commis sion as United Ststes marshal. When he left home be was very hopeful, and before he reached St. Paul he was almost certain of success, and he passed Chicago offer ing big odds on himself. Boston culture is staggering under the hardest blow it has received In many yean. Prof. John L. Sullivan hat been pro nounced incapable of competently filling the requirements of the editorial position be held on a New York a porting paper. Tmb last disastrous blaxe occurred in Ik*ton on Thanksgiving day, when eleven mammoth business blocks, including in all twenty aplendid buildings, went np in ■moke. The ioas is estimated at $6,000,000. The contest at the U. 8. land office— J«ff McDaniel vs. Maria L. Ferguson, en tered upon its third month yesterday. It it almost oa thrilling as Governor Ferry’s message. Cohorts**** Wilson intends asking congress for an appropriation of SOOO,OOO for public buildings for Hpoksne Falls, Seattle and Tacoma, $200,000 for each place. Enbouano Clsbk C. B. Fox has been superceded by P. Murphy, of Tacoma. Fox is now in the hospital at Olympia suffering from delirium tremens. Tom Raxi>,'Of Maine, was elected speaker of the bouse of representatives on the second fafiVit STATE NORMAL SCHOOL AND AG RICULTURAL COLLEGE. We perceive by the Port-InUlUgencenA the 4tb that Representative Cleman has Introduced two bills In the house—one locating an agricultural college at Yakima and the other the state normal school at North Yakima. As our friends in Kittitas, Whitman and Lincoln counties are bid* ding lor the same institutions, we assure those counties that the “bills” of Mr. Cleman are the the result of his own wis dom, and not in response to the expressed wish of his constituency of Yakima. In deference to the published desire of the people of this state we have been an open, avowed, honest aspirant for the state capital. As for ourselves, we have said and do say that we would be per fectly satisfied with the permanent loca tion of the state university at North Yakima, and withdraw from the capital contest if the consent of our friends could be obtained thereto. But we mean a state university, in all its grand educa tional proportions, and all that is implied by the term. We are not, however, In the markets of the legislature. We are not seeking an opportunity to trade or sell. We are not to be satisfied with the remnants “as crumbs thrown from the rich man's table.” Tax Hkxald does not wish to be misunderstood. We do not pretend that Yakima would refuse these state institu tions if offered, but do affirm that we are a contestant only for the state capital; that for the purpose of simplifying the contest, we have taken the position on state university indicated above, and are not in the field worrying and quarreling with our neighbors over a division and location of minor institutions. As far as The Hkxau> is advised, the bills introduced are the result of the per sonal seal of our representative. As to the advisability of them, that is a ques tion we decline passing upon at this time; but do consider this explanation in behalf of Yakima county nepeasery and proper. THE LEGAL VIEW. “To have and to hold from this time forth,” said Augustus, who is studying law, to Matilda Jane on his Up on the evening they became engaged. And Augustas placed upon her finger s ring, and clasped about her snowy arm a bracelet, and murmured, “Know all men by these presents,'' etc.; and that he might ahow that he was in lawful pos session of the chattels, lie did then and there produce what purported to be a bdll of-sale, wherein was stated that “in con sideration of one dollar to me in band paid, receipt of which is hereby acknowl edged, I do bargain, sell and convey one plated ring, the value whereof is two-bite, and one pinchbeck bracelet of value of ■ix-bits." To which Matilda, realising that she had become “articled to an attor ney,” replied, “I am lawfully seized in fee simple,” end “I am firmly bound onto Richard Roe,” which Augustus regarded not, knowing said Richard to be a fabu lous character, incessantly in litigation with John Doe, and whose name he knew Matilda took upon her lips only from ad- hering too literally to the text. And Ma tilda, having “vested” in Augustus “power of attorney,” as a form did repeat: “I do appoint Augustus to be my true and law ful attorney; in token of which I have pledged my hand and now cause the seal of our lips to be affixed.” And Matilda, observing that it was now the end of the term lor which this court was sitting, did this court adjourn; but Augustus, as a petitioner, did humbly pray that the court might not adjourn tine die. And so she fixed the day, and the attorney turned away. Ik making up the various committees, Lieut. Governor Ijmghton selected Nick Owens for chairman of the corporations committee. Comment is unnecessary. Tua first bill passed by the state legis lature was (ioegbegan’s measure appro priating |12,090 for the support of the school for defective youth.

Listen to the Story as it is Told by Careful Observers from Abroad. (San Francisco Examiner.) The new State Capital will probably be at North Yakima. (Spokane Fall* Review.) The beet and moat extensive agricultural region in the Yakima Land District, and in the Territory, lies about the City of North Yakima and is known as the Yakima Valley. (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) To-day, where four Tears ago were uncultivated prairies, the home of great herds of unrestrained wild cattle and vicioua bands of cay use ponies who knew no halter, now stands the City of North Yakima, the Queen of Eastern Washington. {Northwest Magazine.) The knot of valleys which meet at the new town of North Yakima seems a bit of Southern California here in the north. Public opinion in all parts of Washing ton has settled upon this place as the Capital of the new State. {Portland Oregonian.) There is no just reason why this city and county, when they shall have reached their maximum in population, should not have in the city from 16,000 to 26,000, and the county 40,000 to 60,000. Neither is there any good reason why they should not be eventually among the very wealthiest towns and counties in Washington Territory. All the material elements that go to make a big and prosperous city are here. The total taxation of the county is only IS)$ mills which includes the total tax. territorial added. There is not a pauper in tho county. The taxation is heralded to the world as the lowest known from and including Minnesota to and including California. If there la 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 North Yakima is situated in the center of a series of very fertile vslleys which open into it and have grown famous for their products, with a splendid agricultural country surrounding it and the peculiar advantages of its location for railroad approaches North Yakima cannot but figure in the future brilliantly. {Spokane Falls Review.) Although leas than forty miles apart the difference in climate between Yakima in Yakima county and Ellensburgh in Kittitas county ia almost as great as that between a northern and southern latitude. The valley surrounding Ellensburgh is excellent for producing grain, while in the valleys near Yakima the farmers are devoting more attention to fruits, vegetables, hops, tobacco and aimilar crops, which can only be grown in a warm climate. Interview with Judge J. R. Iwwis on his return from attending the Mechanics Fair in California, Published in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. It waa a great exhibition of the wealth of California, but I found no better specimens of vegetables and many varieties of fruit than Washington Territory pro duces. I can go over into tlie Yakima country and in two days collect finer pro ducts in thasenaes than I saw in California. The Yakima peaches are of better quality and flavor than any raised in California, the apples are superior and the prunes are away ahead of anything I ever saw. Then, too, they raise finer melons, squashes and all kinds of vegetables in the Yakima country than any produced in California.
