One lesson the present miserable plight OF
the Naval Arch in Madison Square should con-
vey to all whom 1t may concern. That is the
desirablity Of making the lower part of tenn
porary structure more substantial. If the bases
Of the arch to a height OF six or seven feet had
been made OF brick stone the cost would
have been only a trihe more. and nine-tenths
of the mutilation and Disagreement from which
the arch has suffered would have been avoided.

tation OF having played as successful an en-
gagement as any of them.

part:
''Ir these days the world sins often and
grievously and is much given to the raising
of monuments too frequently upon triffing
provocation. Yet the fault lies not in the
mere multiplication of monuments. The
genius of Greece and of the Renaissance
multiplied statues, and very wisely, too, be-
cause art then was at once splendid and eX-
uberant. But great scuiptors and painters
are as few now as they We're plentiful in
the age of Phidias or of Michael Angelo
and Donatello, and We erect statues and
monuments with prodigal hand chiefly be-
cause We are very rich. and because me-
chanical appliances have made easy the
molding of metal and the carving of stone.

During Stay of Two Days.

An evidence of the constantly increas-
ing interest of the merchants and busi-

welfare OF the smaller towns and cities
or the state. and their desire TO foster
closer trade relations between the Queen
City and the more remote sections of the
Northwest, Is plan now under discus
sion for an excursion to North Yakima
under the auspices OF the Seattle Cham
Der OF Commerce.
The excursion will be strictly a busi-
ness mems affair. and is being arranged
as the result of the announcement of a
desire on the part OF the merchants OF
North Yakima and the farmers of the
surrounding country to have the riches
and wealth OF the Yakima and Its me-
tropolis more fully known to the people
of Seattle. and corresponding desire on
the part of Seattle merchants 10 place
the advantages of Seattle as trading
point more plainly before the tradesmen
of North Yakima.
Plans for the excursion have not yet
been perfected. but II is announced that
IT will be participated In by at least fifty
OF the best-known business men OF the
city, who will leave Seattle within a
fortnight over the Northern Pacific rail-
way, and spend not less than two days
In Yakima as the guests of the CONNER
cial club OF that city. A low round-trip
rare Will no DOUBT be arranged, aitn0ugn

Once in Yakima. the Seattle visitors
will be cordially received by the MEM
bers of the commercial club and shown
every courtesy. They will be taken on
drives into the surrounding country and
shown how II has been converted from
almost a desert into farmers paradise
by the Introduction OF thorough sys-
TEN Of irrigation. Some night during their
stay. also. the visitors will be entertained
by the commercial club. probably at a
banquet, after which the subject OF closer
business and social relations between the

North Yakima a short time ago, and was
forced to acknowledge to the citizens Of
that place that although he had lived in

prided himself that he had kept pretty
well posted on Its development. he was
