TREATY RATIFICATION.
The Last Act in Perfecting the Hay
PauncefOte Treaty Will Oecur
in Washington.

Washington, Dec. 1e.-Lord Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador, called
at the state department, yesterday,
to confer with Secretary Hay re-
specting the next steps to be taken
toward concentrating the treaty ratl-
fed Monday by the senate, to replace
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. 1t is pos
sible that ratification will be ex-
changed in about a month. King Ed
ward first must ratify the treaty, and
then, the exchange copies Of the con-
vention having been prepared, the
British copy will be sent to Washing
ton, where they probably will be ex-
changed. The treaty provides that
this act may take place either in
Washington or in London, but, in de-
ference to Lord Pauncefote's wishes.
it is likely that this, the last act in
sible that ratifications will be ex-
the treaty-making, win occur In
Washington.

Mob Hill School.

EDITOR HERALD The following | be-
lieve to be a solution of our school ques-
ton in district No. %: Accommoda-
tions must be had this fall for our chill
dren. Just what to do is the question.
All will acknowledge that should we
undertake the erection of large build
ing, it should be located on a central,
slightly place on Mob Hill proper. To do
this would carry it too far from the south
side. This we acknowledge to be true.
Then what shall we do? Purchase a
good slightly location on the highest
ground possible on the hill build a
good, up-to-date, one-room house, which
will answer the purpose for three or four
years. Then our ditch question will be
perfected. The district will then be
more able to decide just what we want
II graded school is desired, add large
building to the school on the hill, using
this one room as wing, large build
ing for primary grade, but maintain
the school on the lower road, as both
will be full in four or five years. This
will make it convenient for all.
Respectfully, I. A. DAVIS.

for settlement, now in the reserve, is
brought before congress next year. That
is wild country and travelling will not
be OF the easiest kind to put up with.
The Washington reserve lies mostly in
Okanogan county and it is this land
that is wanted by settlers. succeeded
last year in having several townships
opened for settlement, but what will be
done in the future of course can't be
judged by the past.
with regard to opening the Yakima
reservation for settlement by the whites,
have this to say, that a special agent
will be appointed soon to look after the
matter. Who this agent will be is not
now known, but the appointment will
not be made until a thoroughly compe-
tant man has been selected. Whether
the Indians will agree to sale of their
lands remains to be settled. Some of
them are in favor OF it while others are
not. They have their allotments of
course, and will retain them, even
though they consent to sell the large
amount of land they now hold. How
ever, am not quite sure whether it
would be just the right thing to throw
open all this land to settlement. 1t can
be leased on reasonable terms for almost
any reasonable length of time. There
are now 100000 acres of land that could
be thrown upon the market for settle
ment. Out of this only about 100000
acres would be available for cultivation.
What the department will do cannot
say. A commission has made report
on the same question, but no action
will be taken on this report.
Gas to grazing on reserve lands at the
headwaters of the streams supplying
Yakima with water, do not think it
will do any harm, providing the grazing
is done under proper restrictions. l
will admit however, that if continued
on a scale that is too great for the scope
OF country over which the sheep Craze,
it will eventually do some harm.
you ask me about the appointment
of naval cadet. 1t is my desire that
Yakima county be represented at An
napolis, and if the young man with the
necessary amount of ability and intellect
can be found in this county shall APP

80 days ago and travelled west by easy
stages, making stops at some of the
largest cities in the central west. A few
days were spent at Mr.. Jones old home

pleasant time meeting old friends and
renewing acquaintance. When he got
off the train here number OF friends
were on hand to meet him and bid him
welcome again to the metropolis OF CEN
tral Washington. Mr. Jones came back
much improved in health, at least he
showed all outward indications that life
at the nations capital had agreed with
him admirably. He will remain here
until July, when he will join Congress

this subject Mr.. Jones says:

STATE FAIR NEWS.
An Art Hall to Be Erected-Special Premiums
Offered-Other Notes.

The State Fair commission has de-
cided to erect a new art hall 40 by 100
feet. Bids will be received by the Sec
rotary for the construction of this build
ing. 1t is to be used for exhibiting fancy
work and will be known as the art hail.
The building will be more modern and
of finer architecture than the others on
fair grounds.
The commission has selected some OF
the most competent men of the state
for superintendents and judges of the
different departments. Among them is
Professor j. A. Balmer of Gle Elum,
who is known as the best horticultural
nomenclaturist in the northwest. He
will act as judge of the fruits. Others
OF equal prominence are expected to ac-
cept the positions offered them.
man will be sent out next week to
work up the matter of county exhibits
throughout the state. The commission
has offered purse of 5000 cash for the
best county display of Washington pro-
ducts. Several counties have signified
an intention of entering the contest.
1t is expected that every prominent
county in the state will make an effort
TO carry away some OF the prizes offered
The secretary is in correspondence
with the several leading cattle growers
associations OF the east trying to get
the offer of special premiums for those
having the same breeds in this state.
The Shorthorn association of Springfield

5000 Tor breeders in the northwest
Efforts are being made to get similar
offers from Hereford, Jersey, Guernsey
and other leading associations. The
Oxfordown Sheep association has made
liberal prize offers for breeders OF that
class OF sheep in the state OF Washing
ton.
Special premium offers have come in
this week from the Studebaker company
OF Portland, who offer one Studebaker
road wagon, value 800, for the best ex-
hiblt OF farm products, including fruits
and vegetables, by grower. w. Alice
Burpee offers a cash prize OF 500 for the
best collection OF vegetables grown from
Burpee's seed. Other special premiums
are being considered by dealers and
manufacturers and good offers will come
in for every department. These will be
made in addition to the regular pre-
miums which are nearly double what
were last year.
The race track is becoming very
busy place and has the appearance of
regular race meeting. Nearly thirty
horses are on the track or en- route to
the grounds. Several are to be entered
in the early closing stakes for 81 900 in
the trotting and pacing classes. Robert
Pryor of Ellensburg is the latest addi-
ton to the horsemen, having brought
four fine animals for training.

PUBLIC BEGGING,

The communication from yakima
Avenue Merchant" in last weeks HER
AID has met the unreserved approval
of vast majority OF business men and
others in this city. The discussion of
pernicious abuse is timely and the views
OF the writer are well presented, though
they give only an inkling of the real sit
uation as it exists to-day. "Modern
hold-ups" are too common. There is too
much begging by institutions OF semi
public nature. The practice is a drain
on the business mans exchequer, as
on that of any other easily worked"
individual There is limit to all
things, and to this practice of soliciting
contributions, which has come down
through the ages in various forms, there
must be an end. The institution, or or
ganization, or society, or function of any
kind that cannot stand without continu-
ously begging for funds should not exist.
1t should fall, as it will in time, through
its own volition. The public has no
right to support any OF these organized
or unorganized bodies or institutions.
They are what would be termed semi
private concerns, and if the people who
attempt to carry them on cannot do it
through the worthiness of the scheme to
be fostered, they had better let them
drop.
But this way of looking at the matter
does not strike the average promoter
as being just the right thing. They
imagine that just because an institution
happens to be a lodge, or a school, or a
church, or anything else where morality
is purveyed, or in which the people are
concerned, the public should duff up"
literally and without a murmur. The
school is supposed to be maintained by
taxing the people, which taxes the peo-
pie pay; the lodge is supposed to be
maintained by dues levied upon its
members, which the members pay if on
their good BEHAVIOR the church lev
les an assessment on its members for its
maintenance, which assessment is paid,
invariably. And why ask more? If
such taxes, or dues, or assessments, are
not sufficient to meet all demands upon
the treasures of such organizations, let
the levy be raised. If the supporters
won't "stand the raise" the institution
or organization should drop out OF the
scheme of things unless other legitimate
measures for raising the means of sup
port be adopted. 1t has not business
basis, and should go to the "wall" the
same as eventually does the business
man who pays out more money than he
takes in.
Festivals, picnics, entertainments and
other "blow-outs' are legitimate means
for raising funds when the necessity
arises. By these the contributor gets
something for what he gives. Under the
begging system he gets nothing, except
that his disposition is often perverted
and in his own mind he is made hypo-
critic. There are certain public func-
tions wherein aid from the people is re-
quired but they do not come under the
category OF things that must live by
public subscription, any more than that
the government should be maintained
in the same manner. Let the practice
cease, for time at least.

NORTH YAKIMA AND VICINITY

A missionary tea was given Tuesday
afternoon at the home of Mrs. Flint by
the Women's Board of Missions OF the
Christian church.
G. w. Rankin left here this morning
for klondyke to join Judge Erwin in de-
veloping some mining claims. They will
leave Seattle on Saturday for the north.
Will Stewart returned the first OF the
week from Seattle where he has been
since last November. He has resumed
his old position at the Alfalfa saloon.
A letter received a few days ago by
friends in this city from George Quiet,
who is at Phoenix, Ariz., says that he
has improved very little in general
health.
The Christian church is now making
arrangements for rose carnival to be
given in the new armory on the evening
of June 5. This event is under the di-
rection of Professor Wilson.
John l.. Druse of Mob Hill and Miss
Eva Cartwright of Yakima City were
married at the brides home Wednesday
evening, May %, 1901, by Rev. J. H.
Wood OF the NJ. f. church. The happy
couple will go to housekeeping in his
new home at Yakima City.
The A. o. U. w. lodge in this city
initiated three new members into it's
ranks on Monday evening and five new
members at special meeting held the
week before. This makes a total of 90
new members within the past few weeks,
with a number of others whose applica-
tions have been acted upon.
Moses Strong came up from Status

confidence in the honesty of two men.
He said that last Saturday Dave Collins
and man by the name of Wilson came

to take ride to the eastward, promis-
ing 81 day for the use OF each animal
and also to return them on Monday;
but as the parties did not show up

the conclusion that the animals were
made away with. One horse was bay

Washington. Oct. ii.--surgeon Gen.
eral Sternberg's annual report 10 the
secretary Of war says the health of the
army was unusually good during the
calendar year Of 1900. The death rate
in the Philippines was 2s.75 per 1000.
against 305s the previous year. The
death rate in China was 4776 per 1000;
2362 from disease and GAIA from in
juries. From the close Of the calendar
year Of 1900 TO the latest reports the
health Of the troops in the Philippines
has been steadily improving
The health Of the troops in Cuba dur
ing the year was excellent As result
OF American occupation Of Cuba nearly
every city and town has had its santa
ry conditions improved.
In speaking Of the special diseases.
General Sternberg says:
"The steady decrease Of late years in
admissions for alcoholism among tho
men Of the regular army Is matter OF
congratulation. Military officers may
be said 10 be unanimous in the opinion.
This may be the result Of the establish
ment Of post Of exchange or cantoen
at military posts There is less drunk.
enness among the troops in active serv.
ice than in those doing garrison duty in

Reporting upon the study Of yellow
fever .-.-ths. -As.sss- in Cuba, General
sternberg indorses the boards conclu.
sion that the disease is communicated
mainly. II not wholly. by the bite Of the
infected mosquito. That yellow fever
Is not conveyed by clothing, bedding or
merchandise, soiled by contact with
those sick with the disease; that a house
may be said 10 be infected with yellow
fever only When there are present in IL
mosquitoes capable Of conveying parasite
Of the disease. and that the spread OF
yellow fever can be most eifectuAlly
controlled by measures directed 20 tho
destruction OF mosquitoes and the pro-
lection Of the sick against the bites Of
these insects.
General Sternborg says the results Of
the investigation are Of far reaching
Importance, as surgeons are now In
possession OF knowledge which enables
them to stamp out yellow fever.
