WHERE TO BUILD A Pen.-The
farmers pig pen should be located at u
considerable distance from the house,
and In q direction from which the pre-
vailing winds will not waft the doors
toward 1t. Better still, the bad smells
should be reduced to . minimum BY
cleanliness and deodorlzing ct the pen.
This Ia easily done and probably. too,
by throwing in q few shoyelfuls Of dry
earth on that portion where the pigs
resort, 20 that their manure Is mixed
up with 1t In the pen, and still more
thoroughly when the pen Is cleaned
out. Every pen should be constructed
so 1t can be- cleaned out from one of
the sides without entering 1t at all.
Enough space should be left between
the door and the siding Tor introducing
. long handled scraper or hoe for the
purpose OF cleaning 1t out II the rem
has been literally supplied with dry
earth, bad odors will be prevented and
the value Of manure increased.

THE BENEVOLENT SCHOLARS.
Apple and Potato Day Was a Grand
Success.

Apple and Potato Day Was a Grand
Success.
Apple and potato day and the
closing exercises of the public schools
were success. There were received
fifty sacks of potatoes and apples,
six sacks of flour and a number of
miscellaneous articles, consisting of
sugar, coffee, tea, canned goods,
mittens, etc.
These were sent to the residence
OF Mrs. A. Allen, 1917 West River
side avenue, whence they will be
distributed under the auspices of the
Ladies' Benevolent Society.
The closing exercises cons sted of
essays, declarations, patriotic songs,
etc. The flags recently purchased
by the school children were raised
during the afternoon. Three cheers
for the flag and the singing of the
"Stnr-spupgled Banner" were given
us the flag was hoisted to the top of
the flagstaff. The pupils then en-,
tered their respective rooms and
continued the exercises therein. A
large number of visitors were i'm at
tendance and the exercises through
out were a success.
The credit for the success of the
exercises Is due to Prof. ID. Bemiss,
superin of schools, who
managed the affair.

HE TOOK $50 VOLTS.
An Engineer in This City Who Re-
Gently Suffered a Terri
BILE Shock.
It Knocked Him Senseless, and Left
Him Helpless and Nearly
Blind.

b. g. Riblet, acting city engineer,
who has been confined to his room
for the past week from the effects of
an electric shock, Is able to be out
again. His left hand still shows the
effect of the burns received. The
manner in which the shock was re-
ceived was rs follows:
Mr.. Riblet was in the act of test
ing the electric volts in the power
house of the electric street railway
company. He picked up a piece of
cotton waste and applied 1t to the
little metal post, and ut the same
instant touched the button with
the other hand, thus completing the
circuit and receiving the full force
of the current. There was
flash, u blue streak of
double-geared lightning darted
up Mr. Riblets left side and he fell
senseless TO the floor. His left hand
and arm were badly burned, and he
was unable to see out of his left eye
upon returning TO consciousness.
The attending physician was OF the
opinion that the sight of the eye
was permanently destroyed, but
the organ is now almost well again.
From Mr.. Riblet's experiment in
testing the volts of the powerful
electric machines he learned that
$50 volts, the number he received,
would knock u man silly and lay
him up for u week. He will be
careful how he fools with lightning
hereafter.

ANOTHER RAILROAD.
Yakima Will Get II II She Will
Subscribe a 100000
Bonus.
It Will Run From Portland and
Will Connect With the
Canadian.
Yakima Herald.

Hon. j. Is. Reavls, George w.
Jones and Edward Whitson re-
turned from Portland Tuesday,
where they went as committee to
confer with the representatives of
New York and English capitalists
who are going to build railroad
from Portland across the Cascades
to tap the wheat fields, mining dis
tricts and gardens of Central and
Eastern Washington. The commit
tee was we'll received and the propo-
sition and requirements of the COM
pany, which in the Incorporation
papers is known as the Portland,
Lower Columbia Il Eastern
Washington Railroad Company,
were plainly set forth in writing,
and furnished to the committee. In
consideration of Yakima subscribing
bonus of 100000 the company
agrees to bull d road from some
point on the Columbia river in
Clarke county to North Yakima,
and have the same equipped and in
operation within two years. The
bonus Is not to be paid until the
completion of the road, but Is to
draw interest at the rate Of per
cent per anhum. North Yakima is
to be given depot facilities within
the corporate limits and for a time,
at least, is to be made the terminus
of the road, although the plans con-
template its extension to the Cana
with, thus giving North Yakima
Ia. ,tsa., . tt,,a t.l
The representatives of the COM
pany with whom our committee
conferred said that Yakima would
be the end of the division and that
the shops would undoubtedly be
located here. The surveys for the
west side have been completed and
some work on the east side of the
Cascades, but not enough to de-
terinine the location of the road
through Yakima county, although
the company will endeavOr to have
1t traverse the Ahtanum valley.
Active building Is to commence
from the west within 100 days and
and at this end inside of six months,
and at least 100000 expended in
Yakima county during the first
year, providing the bonus is guaran-
teed.
An enthusiastic public meeting
was held at the council chambers
Wednesday afternoon. The hall
was not large enough to acommo-
date all who desired to attend and
many were unable to obtain en-
trance. Rousing speeches were
made and the opinion prevailed
that there would be no trouble in
raising the necessary bonus.
The committee appointed on sub
scription consisted Of G.. w. Jones,
Captain j. II. Thomas, William
Ker, j. &. McCrimmon, John
Bartholet, S. j. Lowe and w. A.
Cox. Notes are TO be taken which
will be turned over to a committee
consisting of Hon. l.. S. Hewlett, j.

bank, and w. l.. Steinweg of the

1T WAS A CANARD
A Young Lady Gives a Sensa-
tional Reason for Not Visit
ing This City.
She Had Been Informed That
Diphtheria Was Prevalent in
Spokane Falls.

A young lady Of this city who
was expecting visit from n girl
friend residing at Farrnington, Fri
day received u letter which greatly
surprised and worried her. 1t was
from her Pennington friend.
The young lady said in substance
that although she would like very
much to pay the promised visit
that she could not endanger her life
by so doing. She then went on to
say that she had heard that from
ten to fifteen deaths occurred In the
city daily from peculiar disease
which affected the throat, that death
resulted in from three to four hours
from the time the disease made Its
appearance, and In each case the
victim was quietly buried after night
fall.
She described the symptoms of
the disease very minutely, saying
that she did not think 1t was ex-
actly diphtheria, but still 1t resem-
bled that disease very closely.
PHYSICIANS INTERVIEWED.
The letter was shown to REVIEW
reporter, and he Immediately set
about to interview several promi-
nent physicians, among them being
DIR. Penfield. The latter gentleman
said after u hearty outburst of
laughter:
"Why, the story Is an absurd one.
The lady, who has been misin-
formed, undoubtedly refers to
diphtheria, as the description of the
symptoms tally with those of the
latter disease. The only cases OF
this disease that have come to my
notice were all in one family. Last
Saturday II child In the family re-
ferred to was taken down with
diphtheria, but its parents through
ignorance of the nature OF the little
ones complaint did not summon a
physician until Monday, and then
the sufferer was beyond medical
aid.
"The whole family, consisting OF
six persons, were taken down with
the disease, but only two deaths
occurred. These are the only cases
that j know of. How this absurd
report reached Huntington 1 am
unable to say"
The other physicians were Of the
opinion that the health of the city
was never better.
