SHEEP THIEF "
IS CAPTURED
Rancner Near Grandview Had an
Ingenious Device for Procur
nig Fresh Mutton
TRAP IN THE DRIVEWAY
TO THE WINTER RANGE
Herder for Mrs. Vessey Discovers
the Trick and Also the Man
Who Was Operating It by Mere
Accident
Bheep.have taken a drop with
Which the revision of the tariff has
nothing to do. In that connection a
condition has been discovered by one
of Mrs. Vegsey'g herders near Grand
vi ft which Indicates that there is at
least one poor citizen in this county.
The herder ascertained, by purest ac
cident, that a farmer who lives near
to Grandview has a trap constructed.
It was similar to a well and was pro
vided with a trapdoor so arranged
that the sheep, in attempting to pass
It tripped the door and took a dive of
about six feet, the door closing above
them and the trap being in readiness
for the next victim.
Had Taken Many Victim-
Just how many of the woolles have
been duped Into this mysterious well
It Is hard to say. The indications are
that it has been In operation for a
number of years and as it is construct
ed on the main driveway of the sheep
Ruing through the lower country to
their winter quarters the likelihood is
lhat it has reached a high total of
captures In its day. Its last victim,
however, will be Its last for some time.
Mrs. Vossey's herder happened to
herd back early one morning over
ground he had herded the diiy before
and in the early twilight ho discov
ered a man and team, the man, with
a rope, trying hard to lift from the
well two sheep that had gone in from
the band which crossed the day prev
iously.
The herder confiscated the catch
and returned to camp that night an
gry and talking a language which his
fellows coulj not understand. They
gathered, however, that in his own
tongue he was saying "That's a new
me on me."

In Folk-tie Did Not Carry Full
Weight on Ohio Progressives
COLUMBUS. Jan. I.—An effort to
endorse La Foliette as a candidate
for the presidential nomination by
the progressive republicans was de
feated by a vote of 52 to 32 at their
conference today. An endorsement in
the form of a "personal expression"
was then adopted 80 to 11.
NEW FACES TOIHOW
ON POSTAGE STAMPS
Madison and Marshall and Frank
lin Are to Give Way to
Others on Postal Work
North Yakima postoffice patrons
will be Interested in a notice that has
been received from Washington which
is to the effect that it is proposed to
put new faces an some of the stamps
Madison and Marshall and Ben Frank
lin are to disappear for v time at least
from the cheap stamps.
As a sort of reparation for his dis
placement on the cheapest of stamps,
Poor Richard will appear on the B
cent, 10-cent, 15-cent, 50-ee.nt and SI
denominations instead of Washington,
who has graced those since the last
change was mado placing the Father
of his country upon practically every
one in place of Lincoln, Gra-nt, Gar
lleld, Jackson and the other states
men.
Washington on Ixnv V'nlues
At the present time Washington's
portrait may be found on stamps of
ten different denominations. When
the new issues come out it will be on
only six, from one-cent to the six-cent
itamps Inclusive. The \l and $5
■tamps will be discontinued after the
present supply is exhausted and Mad
ison and Marshall will be relegated to
the other statemen who have disap
peared from the postal series.
There will be likewise a few minor
changes in color and design on tho
new stamps, the one-cent changing
most notably in deisgn, and the 15
--cent in color. Oji the former the por
trait of Washington will be displayed
as at present on the two-cent variety;
while on both one-cent and two-cent
stamps the words indicating the de
nomination will be succeeded by the
numerals. Numerals will not be used
on a«y of the Itigher issues.
The ten-cent stamp, which U at
present a liright yo.llow In color, will
change to a dark shade of ihe sama

THOSE WHO HAVE HOPS
IN PLEASANT MOOD
Word of Warning Against Plant
ing of More Hop Yards Given
by Man Who Bought Hops at
$1 Per Bale
Within the past few days McXeff
Brothers of this city have purchased
200 bales of hops, but the market
may be said to be quiet. The price
give for the above Is not made pub
lic. With hops above 40 cents per
pound, growers a.nd outsiders are like
ly to overdo the planting of addition
al acreage, so in order to hold down
the excitement, the losing side of the
game Is told in the following, related
by one of the men of this city who
has dealt in hops extensively. He told
yesterday that several years ago he
bought hops right here in North Yak
ima for $1 per bale of 200 pounds
each. He bought 1,300 bales at that
price. It is easy to ligure out that
the grower made quite a losing.
That the price of hops Is going to be
much higher is the general opinion.
Bearing upon the subject the follow
ing from the Portland Orogonian
makes interesting reading for tho
growers who are still holding their
hops:
"The critical position of .the Amer
ican hop market, from the consumers'
point of view, is shown in the annual
market review of Klaher, Wolf & Net
ter of Portland. It htis been appar
ent, since the crop was harvested,
that the brewers were facing a (short
age, and it is now clear the pinch will
be v severe one. A deficiency of
about 50,000 bales exists in this coun
try; therefore, the hops that still re
main unsold must be disposed of at
prices in sellers' favor.
"According to government returns
the United States brewers consumed
45,068,811 pounds of hops from July
1, 1910, to June 30, 1911. The pro
duction of beer for the same period
was 63,283,123 barrels, therefore the
brewers used a trifle over seven-tenths
of a pound a barrel.
" Assuming that for the period
from July 1, 1911, to June 30, 1912,
brewers will produce about 64,000,
--000 barrels of beer, and use only five
eighths of a pound a barrel, they will
use 40,000,000 pounds or about 216.
--000 bales of hops.
Brewers' Needs i.irni
"The total quantity received by
United States brewers tv date is
shown by the above table to be 144,
--000 bales. If the government figures
are correct and the brewers require
216.00H bales for the entire season,
they will require v further quantity of
above 72,000 bales Against this there
ia a visible supply of only 11,04)0 telei
"On the (ace of this it is quitf evi
dent that iht coadittoa is critical,and
there will Lib a severs piuch some-
NORTH YAKIMA, WASH., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1912
where before the new crop is avail
able.
"Last season at this time In the
United States, there were 30,000 to
40,000 bales of old hops. Today there
Is no burden of old hops, Inasmuch
as there are not to exceed 4000 bales
of these In the entire United States
and most of them are unsuitable for
brewing purpose*.
Big Shortage Is Due
"The crop of England was 328,023
hundredweight against an estimated
consumption of 550,000 hundred
weight. During September the con
tinental buyers purchased very heav
ily of English hops to cover partially
their deficit. The imports into Eng
land from America a.nd others sec
tions for September, October and No
vember were 49,292 hundredweight
and the exports from England to the
continent 49.3 7 4 hundredweight, hencu
the net position of exports and im
ports, as far as Bin gland was con
cerned, was even.
"England will require further large
quantities of 1911 hops, and certainly
can not obtain any important quantity
on the continent, as the continent is
almost cleared and vrices there are
practically prohibitive.
"The crop of the continent was
about 550,000 hundredweight, or 150.
--000 hundredweight less than the con
sumption. Late reports from the con
tinent Indicate an advancing market.
Never in the history of the business
has there been such a total clearance
of stock on the continent as prevails
at this time.
"At present the market in the Unit
ed States is Inactive. It is firm but
quiet in England. On account of the
scarcity of supplies, it is admitted by
all that higher prices will come as the
season progresses, and before the new
crop is available, there will be an ac
tual famine of hops, not only in the
United States, but also in Europe, and
that there will be a severe pinch be
fore the new season is over.

DM CAR FOLK
SEND^A SOUVENIR
Yakima Friends of Northern Pa
cific Receive New Year's Re
membrance From H. J. Titus
North Yakima friends of the North
ern Pacific railway have received from
H. J. Titus, superintendent of the din
ing car department, a New Years'
souvenir. It is in the form of a New
Year's resolution to make the most
and best of the railway dining car
service throughout the year. The res
olution is done in scroll on a shield
shaped confection, bears the emblem
of the railway and a hook to hang it
by and Is altogether a pretty little
example of the confectioner's art. Mr.
Titus says in a letter to friends here
the souvenir will be, he hopes, a re
minder of tho fact "that it will be
our resolution to serve you In the very
best way whenever given tho appor
tunity and that we shu.ll strive hard
not only to till up any existing de
ficiencies that may "!*Tist at the time
of your visit to our cars but that you
will also go away with a favorabln
and lasting impression of the treat
ment accorded you on the Northern
Pacillc railway."
It. is perhaps not necessary to re
mind Yakima people that the dining
car service of the Northern Pacific
has been one of the best and most
consistent advertisers of Yakima and
its products and Mr. Titus proposes to
keep up' the good work.
HEATER EXPLODES;
MOTOR CARWRECKED
Castings Were Blown Through
Roof to a Height of 200
Feet
The combination passenger and
baggage motor car of the 0.-W. R. &
N. company, No. 201, was badly
wrecked at 6 o'clock Monday evening
when tho Baker heater blew up. Tho
car had been lying at the power house
of the company, at Walnut street, for
the past ten days. It Is supposed to
have been heated during all that time,
waiting to be called out on tho run
between this city and Walla Walla.
Thu fireman hud left the car a
short while before the explosion.
Castings were blown through the roof
of the car to a heigltt of 200 feet,
carrying with them quite a section
of the car. All tho windows of the
car in that end wfcere the heater
stood were broken, and (he neat*
in the itime vicinity were badly
wrecked. The report of the explosion
was like unto that of a cannon and
was heard for many blocks.

Bookkeeper W. D. Murphy Is able to

The average cub receipts under the
previous administrations, per month,
is as follows:
Sheriff Tucker, $63.03. Sheriff R. A.
Grant, $123.66: Sheriff John Edwards,
$242: Sheriff Lancaster, $t5!>.5R.
During tho year 1911 the jail his
been a busy boarding house. The
records show that during that period
49,458 meals were served, at an aver
age cost of 11.125 cents each, the total
expense of feeding the prisoners bo
lug $5,451.37.
OB the lirst day of JiuAry, 1911,
there were 50 prisoners in Hie county
jail, while on the tir.st day of the
present year there wore 3;!. During
the yonv 1911 admitted and relofisod
was 763. Within that period ther«
wore exactly 50 committed to the in
sane asylum.
There is due to tho credit of the
county Jail the sum of $1,505.50 as
pay for the feeding of federal prison
ers. When that amount has he«n re
ceived and properly credited, It will
cut the expense of the prisoners per
meal down to a fine point.
The expense of the sheriffs office has
been considerably increased on ac
count of having to collect the delin
quent personal taxes, for which duo
credit should be given.

asking an increase for 19,000 opera
