THE BIG CANAL BREAKS.
A Big Head OF water Forces Its Way Through
the Lower Bank Doing Consiterabi Damage.

For the first time since it's cot
struction, a portion of the banks of the
big Sunnyside canal gave away on Thurs-
day of last week. The break occur
red about mile below the head gate in
Upper Parker Bottom and proved to he
quite serious on account of the large vol
ume Of water that was in the canal at the
time. The farm OF +. n. Carl suffered the
most, it is said, while one or two other
ranches were more or less damaged.
The company Immediately put u large
force of men and teams at work repairing
the break, which it is expected will re-
qure about IA week longer to complete.
The shutting off of the water made nee
essary by this accident, will inconven-
fence the farmers about Sunnyside to a
considerable extent, but the general feel
ing is, that crops will not suffer mater.
ally unless the making of the repair con.
sumes more time than is now expected

Rio Van Wrinkle Snooze.

snooze. lie there anyi hing being done on
the ditch proposition, or any attempt
made to get any new industry? Our east
ern neighbor, North Yakima, is not
snoeziug. And why? Because the peo-
pie are mp and doing, and through their
efforts and liberality the place is going
steadily ahead. There is no good reason
why this city should not be away ahead
of Yakima. No rivalry exists between
the two places, therefore, in making this
statement We are not prompted by the
green-eyed monster known as envy. That
city deserves that it is getting, and what
it may get in the future. 1t remains for
Eilensburg to pull up the slack, or give
it up.-Locaiizer.

To Pay the Cost of Our Spanish War.

We are told that the expenses of our
Government for 1899 Including army
and navy] will be Jar greater than
those of any other nation IN the scorld.
and the question is how are we going
to pay them.
Our rich men who have great in
fiuence with Congress and the Presi-
dent1 don't want to be taxed on their
incomes. and our poorer men and
women don't want to pay any larger
taxes than they are now paying.
We have plan.
Our rich girls now have to 60 to
Europe to marry dukes, counts, etc.,
etc.
Now why can't we manufacture all
these fellows just as well at home and
keep the money here?
Suppose we make the Vander5ilts,
Astors, Rockefellers, etc., who can pay
hundred millions dollars, princes
and the political bosses. like Croker,
Platt, ETC., who can pay 100000
dtkes-and some of the smaller fry
who can pay $5,00O,O00 carls-and
the still smaller who can pay $1,000
900, counts.
And then we can carry the same
plan into our navy and army, making
Lfor fair compensation breUet ad-
mirals, commanders, etc.; and in our
army brecet generals, colonels, majors,
captains, and SO on down, if you please,
to corporals, whose wives would be-
come Mrs. Corporals, and all the
children little corporals.
1t would do lots of people sight of
good to get these titles, and, as Henry
Ward Beecher once said in somewhat
similar case. ave don't belieVe the Lord
tCoald care mach about It,"
Why not have princes and dukes and
earts and counts as the European ma
tions do, whose imperialsStic policy our
Government seems to be now trying to
imitate?-Ou Dumb Animals.

Providing for State Revenue.

BY the passage OF the Farris bill APP
proximately $650,00o will be added to
the revenues of this State. Although
beer inspection Is provided for in the
bill, it is as revenue measure that it
must be considered. 1t was necessary
for the Missouri legislature to increase
the revenues of the State. After a
careful survey of the situation the Leg
islature concluded that very small
tax on beer would provide the revenue
needed.
There has never been time in this
country when it became necessary to
add to its revenues that the national
government has hesitated to place an
added tax on intoxicants of all kinds.
But the argument which perhaps had
the most influence with the legislature
was the question OF criminal costs.
Every State assembly for the past de-
cade has struggled with this question.
Various bills have been proposed look
Ing to a reduction of criminal costs,
but none of them has been satisfactory.
1t was discovered that many OF the
measures thus proposed would operate
in the interest of the criminal classes,
and that fair trials would largely be
prevented by them. 1t was argued,
too, and criminal statistics show it,
that large per cent of the criminal
costs were due to the use of lntoxi-
cants. AS further reason tor the
imposition of the tax, it was shown
that the profits on beer were perhaps
larger than those of any other product
in the State. The only argument
which has ever been made against the
beer bill was that it was discrimina-
tion against the Missouri brewers, and
in their efforts to prevent anything of
this kind the Legislature has incorpor-
ated a provision in the bill which per-
mits brewers to send their beer outside
of the State without the added tax.
The fortieth general assembly is to
be congratulated upon the courageous
manner in which it has faced the
question of adding to the revenues OF
the State. Its object has been to place
the burdens where they would be the
easiest to bear, and even if it should
prove true that the consumers were
compelled to pay the tax upon beer it
would not be perceptible in the size of
the drink served patrons of bars.-K.

FOUR AGES OF MAN.

The little baby born to-day,
Forced into a world he does not know,
With eyelids closed at first approach,
Not knowing whittier its feet may go,
Opens wide its startled eyes,
And reads in letters large and clear,
Painted on the cottage door,
MILK TRUST LOCATED HERE.
Life's summer comes, the babe has grown
Into a youth as all babes grow;
He plays at games, and goes to school,
And sows wild oats, as all youths sow,
But fever comes with summer sun,
Bringing to his parents many tear,
While painted on the fence he sees,
ICE TRUST LOCATED HERE.
Old age has come; his tattered frame
Is feeble, and his limbs are weak
And cold, while in his chair he sits,
Near the fire, its warmth to seek,
When peering through the open door,
Across the street he reads with fear,
A big sign painted on the wall,
COAL TRUST LOCATED HERE.
His time is up, and Death has called
To take him from this mortal soil,
And bear him to that great beyond,
Away from this worlds strife and toll;
And as he takes his last long breath,
His eyes stare out with mortal fear,
For on the wall he reads this sign:
COFFIN TRUST LOCATED HERE.
ADDENDA.

When all the trusts are gathered home
By Satan in the lower sphere,
If they won't find on hades' gate,
In letters big and round and great,
FIRE TRUST LOCATED HERE.

The marvellous effects that are some
times produced by music may even
tually receive a scientific explanation.
In a recentlecture at Oxford university,
Prof. McKendrick said that, while the
intricate connections Of the auditory
nerves are only just being ~unraveles,
1t is probable that the roots of those
nerves are widely distributed
and have more extensive connections
than those of any other nerves in the
human body. Researches on the au-
ditory nerves indicate that there is
scarcely a function Of the body which
may not be affected by the pulsations

did you ever notice." asked the old
er member of the group, looking into
the gas log at the club, "or, rather, have
you not always noticed the markedly
different effect upon the mind exerted
by the coming Of the September

THE arrival of the fall equinox seems
to fill the whole human tribe with

tient joy. l contend that these effects
are universal and that their causes are
peculiarly simple. OF course, | am talk

ing gray and wrinLled, as the days wane
and the nights wax, when no longer n

arrival Of the raw September days
which are chilled and dampened, fills
the sensitive soul with anticipatory
dread. These heralds Of the stiffeDing

corpse in a mcrgge, give warning not
only that the melancholy days are come,
but that she long northern winter, chill,
desolate and forbidding, will DON be-

'It Is different in middle March.
Then the patter of the dropping rain
holds out & promise. The song birds
are seeking summer homes again. The
reviving grass and the tender mounds
which burgeon upon the sap-thrilled
branches Of the awakening trees speak
the incensed language of life and love.
The restored brooks babble that they
have thrown off their shackles. Daily
the sun burns more ardently upon all
the pulses Of the stirring eartn. The
airs are full of promise. Man feels hope
again, and divine thrills, born he knows
not why, move the deeper fountains of

NECESSITY OF DISCIPLINE.

Every observer of human affairs
must have seen that discipline
must come personally to every son
of Adam. If the child in the home
gets it, it requires less in the man
or woman. II the boy is neglected
while growing into manhood, he is
sure to get an increased dose when
he reaches manhood and goes up
against the stern realities of a
heartless world. Men who have
had their own way for a series Of
years become t%yrannical and OPP
pressive and forget the rights of
others entirely. Then they have
to be disciplined; sometimes they
have to be sent to the pe~nitentiary,
sometimes they have to be hung,
and always it is necessary to adj
minister punishment. Men have
been known to be SO forgetful Of
the rights of others that whole
communities rose up and admin
istered rebuke to them. We see
this idea exemplifed in the pro-
fessions, and in business and in
life.
