A YAkINAN'S INVENTION.
W. r. Clark Builds an Air Ship Which Flew
Up and Blew Up.

An eye witness to an amusing episode
tells THE HERALD of what befell a Yak
imam. recently, N Spokane.
w. r. Clark, the well known timer,
who left Yakima about three years ago
to hunt gold in the Colville reservation,
made killing in his mining ventures.
He also came near making killing, in
miners parance, with his newly in
vented flying machine. Having plenty
OF money and leisure he has devoted his
time and means lately toward perfecting
an airship-or rather an scetylene flyer.
In the secrecy of his cellar Mr.. Clark
worked industriously at his model, which
was five feet long made of tin. Below
this was the machinery, consisting of a
small gas engine driving three sets of
propelers. The fuel was to be few
pounds of calcium carbide and bucket
of water, thus producing when needed
the subtle acetylene. This would also
furnish light and heat for the passengers.
Since leaving Yakima Mr.. Clark has
become father-in.law. Son.in-law
Wren of Northport was paying him a
visit. To him he confided the secret of
his invention and besought his assistance
to start the machine. 1t started and
scared aloft with such sudden energy as
to take Mr.. Wren along, he having pok ed
his lighted cigar too near the boiler.
The machine went up and scared and 80
did Son-in-law Wren, who is sore yet,
even after the family physician had
swathed him with lint and slathel ed
him with arnica. Father in.law Clark
nothing daunted is working on another
model, but Son-in-law Wren when asked
if he will soar any more. in the classic
language of Northport says init" and
observes sarcastically: 81 would like to
see photograph of myself making any
more trips on papa's air ship"

\ MORAL CITY.
Yakima. According to Official Statistics. the
Most Upright Of Municipalities.

ntoSt OPilkht VI NiuuiSipoHticSs
Probably nowhere on the coast is there
ss wholesome and pure moral atmosphere
as right here in Yakima. That is to say,
according to police statistics, and no one is
expected to 20 behind the official returns.
The progress towards high and healthy
growth OF public morals it is true has
been gradual but steady. The police
records for the month of September last
show that the magic brotherhood were
not exhibiting any nickel.in-the eliot ma
chimes albeit the state fair was on and
everybody expecting hot time in the old
town at night. But in October the records
disclose there we're four of the seductive
and Elusive nickle-in.the-slots on exhibit
bition. Happily, however.-for the bet
ter-there were only two on exhibition in
November, showing the gradual but sure
evolution of the good. The moral phi
losopher may take some grains Of comfort
in another noticeable improvement in the
conduct of the city's exemplary talent
along the line of games of chance. In
September there were eight gamblers to
pay fines, while in October there were
only six who stepped up to the captains
office and settled. There were seven
gamblers who paid fines for November,
making one less than for October. But
the most signal improvement in the NOR
ais Of the com munity is seen in the police
records OF houses of prostitution. In Sep
TENDER, fair month, there were nine
abandoned women who paid fines aggre-
eating $45. In October there were four
fines, or $50, paid into the city treasury.
1t was left to the month of November to
show only three denizens Of the half
world below the dead line. two Japs,
Jennie and Tony by name. and one Nell
lie Nelson. Yakima may safely challenge
any city of 6000 inhabitants on the coast
to exhibit like increase in morality and
decrease in the twin social evils as shown
by police statistics which being in figures
cannot be refuted, for figures never lie.

Aguinaldo, in his proclamation, is
cDrrect In saying that Congress will
meet in few weeks, but he is wrong
in his intimation that Congress will
veto what he and his Democratic
friends call the "imperialist" policy.
Agunaldo's mistake Is natural. Some
one has told him the Republican ma
jority in the House will he only four

him hope that Congress will order
