A WoAAS's WRArH.--A minister Of the
gospel once said, a woman, too, 81 think
domestic cyclone is necessary some
times. Just give everything good turn
ing over and scattering, it does them
good. The day has gone by when women
are supposed to smile no matter what
happens. But, like cyclone in Kansas,
let it be short and to the point, and then
drop the subject. Don't have one all the
time" That is good advice. II things
cannot possibly be borne, and you are
sure that you have good cause, say what
you think and feel and have done with it.
Don't nag. II it is understood that you
only talk when you have something to say,
those with whom you have dealings will
soon learn to listen, as they will discover
it is their loss II they do not. OF course,
some women can live and always be
smiling, but they are the exceptional
ones. And they are usually the selfish
ones of the world who have things their
own way always as a matter Of course

A GREAT WATER CANAL.-The following
concerning the great ditch of the Yakima
Irrigating company is given BY one Of the
engineers in charge Of its construction :
The canal of this company takes water
from the Yakima river about nine miles
below North Yakima at Union gap, and
is to furnish water for irrigating the Sun
nyside region, comprising rs 900 acres on
the north side of the river, opposite the
reservation. The ditch is to be 70 miles
long, AZ miles Of which is now completed,
and is 80 feet wide at the bottom and 20
feet wide at the top. There have been
$50 teams and about the same number of
men employed on the job, but work has
been closed down for the season. The
ditch will be finished within the next two
seasons. Settlers are flocking into the
district and are paying from $50 to $75
per acre for the lands, with perpetual
water right included.
KRua's FRIENDS. -Thirty-thre indict-
ments against Ex-Treasurer Adolph Krug
OF Seattle and his ass ociates we're returned
by the grand Jury as true bills. Krug is
charged in the thirteen indictments with
using public money in manner not
authorized by law, and in nine with lar
ceny by embezzlement. In five indict-
ments Henry Thurman, rich broker, is
made an accessory, which under the law
OF the state is the same as the principal.
Fred w. Sander and l.. M. Griffith are
Jointly indicted with him on one count
each and d. T. Denny, well-known
pioneer, on two counts with L. d. Ross, a
real estate agent, on three counts. Fuhr-
man repaid the money he borrowed from
Krug and his bondsmen put up $25, 900
to make up the deficit and Griffith and
Sander also raised considerable sums to
reimburse the city, hoping thereby to
escape punishment. Krug's shortage was
$l25, GOO but was all made good to the
city hy his bondsmen and friends.
TAKE WHAT WE WANr.-In regard to
the disposal Of the state building and ex-
hibits Governor McGraw says the state
university at Seattle, the agricultural col
lege at Pullman, the normal school at
Ellensburgh and the state fair association
at North Yakima are to select from the
exhibit what they desire. The building
and the remainder OF the exhibit have
rendered to the Chicago Memorial Art
association, but the acceptance of the gift
depends on whether authority is given
the South Park commissioners by the
people to accept buildings and keep them
in Jackson Park as fixture. If not ac-
cepted the building will be turned over to
the Lumbermen's association and the re-
mainder of the exhibits sold for what they
will bring. But the concession made to
the state fair commission is worth all the
others in the aggregate. Its value is be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
