PROF. W. N. Heiney, principal Of schools
ct Tacoma. has for several years been
anxious 10 establish normal school and
academy ct North Yakima. He looks
upon Yakima q the pivotal point Of the
state and believes that here should be the
seat Of education. He has visited Us
several times with view Of carrying out
his projects and has been In correspond
ence with number Of leading citizens,
but while being individually encouraged
there has been no concerted action taken
10 further his plans. Knowing Of tho
benefits that would accrue to Yakima
from an institute Of the character be con-
templates he has asked for school room
and furniture for use while perfecting his
plans, but % yet, no steps have been
taken In his behalf. While occupying .
remunerative and much sought after posi-
ton In the schools Of Tacoma be as re-
Gently applied for the superintendency Of
the Yakima schools, which Office he IL
DESTROYS Of holding while working up his
pet project. At the last meeting Of the
board Of directors Of this school district
his application was taken under advise
ment.
JusrTIABLE CoMrLANT.-WestW Walnut
street sustains more travel than any other
street leading into the country, yet no
other thoroughfaTe IL allowed to remain
in the same disgraceful condition. The
residents Of Wide Hollow andthe Ahtan-
um come 70 the city over this road, and
the only wonder is that they do not do
their trading ct the old town rather than
North Yakima, for 4 horse can scarcely
travel this street without being made
lame, and any vehicle Is soon racked 10
pieces by going over the rocks. Aside
from this, all the garbage and offal Of the
city 10 dumped BY the scavenger in plain
sight and within smelling distance Of
those who pass along the road. The at
tentiou Of the authorities Il directed to
this matter, for complaint 10 heard not
only from the farmers who are compelled
to put up with these disagreeable condi.
tons and the residents who live In the
neighborhood, but the merchants who re-
celve large portion Of their trade from
the Ahtunum and neighboring sections Of
the country. The city can no longer af.
ford to neglect making the necessary re-
pairs and improvements on this road.
A FATAL AccIDENT.-Samuel Keegan,
who has been In the employ Of the Mckee
company for the past four years, died on
Tuesday from injuries received in . run
away on the previous day. Just how the
accident occurred Is not known, a. there
were no witnesses, but Keegan was rum
ming q mower, and evidently the break
ing Of q wheel caused the horses to run
away and he was thrown under the ma
chinery, receiving twenty-one cuts In the
bead and . deep cash in the breast.
Death was the result Of conclusion Of the
brain, and he never regained conscious
ness after being found. The deceased
was q years Of age and native Of the
Isle Of Man. He was . steady, hard
working man and held In much esteem
by all Of his associates. Il was supposed
that Keegan ives the possessor Of several
hundred dollars, but no trace Of the money
can be found, nor are there any papers
having bearing on the matter.
ANorHER CoUNTY PAPER.-Prosser Is to
have q newspaper. At least, the Alliance
Printing company has been organized,
with . capital stock Of $1,000. with the
object Of Publishing paper at that point.
The citizens Of Prosser are to subscribe
half the stock and John @. Boyle the
balance. Mr.. Boyle, who IL 10 be the ed
itor and manager. has had much expert
.ence In newspaper work, having been
connected with many papers, including
the Yakima Republic and Tacoma Ledger,
and IL well qualified TO make the new
candidate for public favor q success in
every way. The AHiaRce-for that will
b the name Of the paper-will DO mainly
devoted TO the interests Of the farmer,
and, while not taking Up the cause Of the
Farmers Alliance - party, proposes TO
treat oil political interests fairly and, in
fact be % nearly independent in express
sion % Mr.. Boyle's republicanism will
permit.
