A IJKRKZY MANILA LRTTRK Pretty FlHploos Treacherous insurants Money Talks- Cannibals anil Tree Dwellers -Wonkeys and Parrots Cheap as Yaklma Studs Yaklna Stockmea Convene. It km heretofore announced in Thk Hkkui. that Dr.

Cloes, the forestry superintendent of Mt. Rainier reserve, would be in North Yakima January it. lie MM on that date, and about fifty stockmen greeted him at the Hotel Yakima parlors. Sam Cameron was selected as chairman and Dr. does was called upon to state the object of the meeting.

fie said that he had recently received a telegram from Ringer Hermann, cotnumpioner of the general land office, dire 'ting him not to make any allotments to stockmen on the Mt. Rainier reserve; hut as he had previously announced through ihe preHS his intention of meeting the stockmen of Yakima, he concluded to come and receive their applications to lease the grazing grounds of the reserve. He stated that of the lift 5- reserves in the rniii'd States, the Washington and Oregon reserves were the only ones where stockmen could graze their sheep and cattle. He hoped that the cattle and sheepmen would get togttbw and auree on sotie plan that interests would harmonize; but if they failed to thus agree he would be compelled to fix the matter himself, which would not be so satisfactory to all concerned. They might graze upon the reserve a thousand years so far as he was concerned, hut there were rules and regulations by which all must abide.

He warned the stockmen against overgrazing the pasture lands, and said that the Illadvised actions of a few in violating the rules would operate against all. Ttiere was a strong feeling in ttie east against the leasing of the forestry re serves and that a regiment of soldiers had expelled the stockmen from the Yosemlte valley, but he Imped there would he no trouble in his department. Dr. Cloesread his recommendations to the department, the main point being that the Mount Kainler reserve was capable of pasturing head of stock annually without detriment to the public interests; that the reserve should be kept open to pasturage from the 15th of June until the L'stb of September, and that a fixed charge of (5 per thousand head of sheep, to be kept in bands of not more than BSOO, as pasture fees. The price for caitle was not stated.

In pursuance of the advice of Dr. Cloes a committee of live from the sheepmen ami live, fro-i the cattlemen present was appointed to meet together and determine what is cattle graaiug and what ia sheep grazing land in the Ahtanum, Cowyche, Natchtz, tt'enas and Yakima districts and to segregate the same, their decision to be final, with Dr. Cioes as referee.

There are some very pretty Spanish women but a soldier can hardly get a square look at them, for they tiave no use for us. The city is built in a swamp, that makes it very unhealthy.

Our barracks are in an old cigar factory, one of the largest buildings in the city, and a part of it is still used to manufacture cigars in, employing about 2500 women and 1900 men. The Pasig river that divides the city is about three tunes as large the Yakima river. The oity cemetery is near oui barrackH. The charge is one dollar per month for vault rent, and if the relatives of the deceased person cannot pay the corpses are thrown into the boneyard, which is a large hole in the null.
