PEOPLE, ATTENTIONS:
Yakima Signal ]

Although an attempt may be made to
conceal the fact, the public should
thoroughly understand that strenuous
effort is being made by the railroad iu-
fuence throughout the Territory to die
tate in the selecIion of the next Legis-
lature and the delegate to Congress.
Just what man this element will ulti-
mately unite upon for delegate is not
yet certai1; but various names are
being considered and when the time
comes for uniting on some one the
necessary combination will be duly
made and no doubt strictly adhered TO
In the Republican Territorial Conyen-
ton. The object aimed at in proposing
numerous individuals, is 10 ascertain
which is the most available and vhic b
is the fresst from personal aHtaeon-
isms. IL is now believed that the entire
railroad element will settle down upon
some insignificant man who has kept
rather quiet, but whom the company can
implicitly RELY upon in case Of election.
This insignificant man will in all prob
ability bs placed upon q platfori. which
will contain some awfal threats against
the land grant and against corporate
encroachments ia general. These threats
will be understood by the company TO
mean nsthing further than an election
eering scheme devised for the purpose
Of deceiving voters. OF csnrse there
may be enough anti monopoly delegates
in the convension TO chsckmase this pro-
gram aud nominate a square-toed anti
land grant man. To compass this re
suit the people of every county In the
Territory should be on the alert. A
strong protest and warning should be
pot forth, aud II the attempt 20 force
the nomination of q corporation servant
is successful, the outrage should be re-
buked at the polls.

TWO FIXES AT TACOMA.
/ News, l3.h.1

News, 18Th.
At a quarter after l2 last night flames
were discovered issuing from the hay
barn at 1imm d Falk's dairy, near the
head of the bay. The alarm was quick
ly given and the slumbering citizens
awakened by the shrek of steam whis.
ties. Before help could reach the scene
OF the contiagration the flames had
quickly enveioped the cow stable ad
joining and the large two story hay and
grain warehouse owned ny the tirm of
Sprague d Hamilton. But few people
got as far IN the fire, as il oould easily
be percei cd that it was beyond control.
and that. from the isolated position of
the burning buildings, nothing else was
in danger.
The fire presented beautiful sight,
as the sparks from the burning hay
went mp to great hight.
The hook and ladder company got out
their truck, bat. seeing that il would be
of no use at the fire, left il in the street
and went on without it.
Timm d Falk estimate their loss at
about $500; no Insurance. IL was fsrtu-
nate for them that the cattle we're all
ont, or many of them could not have
been saved.
The firm will Immediately commence
the erection of buildings on land nearer
the reservation and located in the land
oompany's new addition.
Sprague d Hamilton estimate their
loss at $1,000 over and above the insur-
Ance on stock and building, which was
1890. and was carried by one of Mr..
Wallaos's companies. The building
WAS put MP by them only short time
time ago, and cost $l2C0. How the fire
originated no one knows. bat il was uu-
doubtedly the work of an incendisry.
The losging camp buildings, three in
number, located on the point near the
reservation and owned by w. ID. Robb,
were burned last night about 10 O'CLOCK
They were ignited from fire in the
brush, and the party who started it Ia
responsible for the loss, which amounts
to about $3.50.
A close watch ought to be kept of all
similarly exposed outlying buildings, as
the miscellaneous population OF the city
Is increasing every day, including some
persons whs will bear watching. Ia
coma il gaining bad reputation for
fires, and every method Of preservation
should be utilized.

The Idle Children.

There were once three idle children
who instead of going to school, stood
lettering about and grumbling that
learning was a stupid thing.
"Let's set off for the woods" they
all cried at once, "and play with the
animals there, for they never go to
sChoOi.'
Then away they ran to the WOOD
and asked all the animals to play with
them.
But the beetle hummed and hawed,
and the mouse cried in a shril voice.
81 have no time; I'm gathering my
corn and seeds for the winter"
And | cooel the dove, "am gath
ering sticks for my nest; am sure l
have no time to play
"IIoyty toyty" exclaimed the swal-
low in answer to the invitation, can
| believe my ears? Play, indeed. |
wonder who has time for play. Here
have | been chasing flies all day, and
now my young ones want me to put
them to sleep. No, no. turn back
again, lazy children, and don't disturb
industrious folks here"
SO the children went back to school
again, having learned from the ami
mails the old lesson, "All play and
no work makes Jack an idle Turk
