ment at the kindergarten in the Christ

called vegetable party and about twen-
ty-five of the little folks were there

explained. 1t was in reality Thanks
giving entertainment and the teachings
were of character to impress the minds
of the little "tots' with information
which would be beneficial while making
tina instruction pleasure to all. Far

The many Yakima friends of Will II.
James will be pleased to learn of his
good fortune. Upon his return to Cali
fornia he was promoted to the position
of business manager of the Sacramento
Bee. This is place of much response
bility as the Bee is a journal of infu-
ence and great circulation and of course
the salary is commensurate with the
duties devoting upon him. 1t is high
compliment to pay to young man and
would not be shown if he was not
worthy Of it, because great business
institutions like the Bee go little on
sentiment.
The city authorities are doing good
work this week in chopping down the
old and worm-eaten balm trees, which
were planted in the early days of the

made by the council, assisted by the
property owners, in replacing them with
shade trees of more desirable kind, as
the foliage along the streets is one OF the
great attractions OF North Yakima.
