The City Schools.

For the first time in the history OF the
Yakima schools midwinter promotions
were made Monday. The advanced pu-
pills OF each grade were passed to a grade
higher, and about 25 new pupils were
received, making the total enrolment
1850. This number will probably in
crease to 100 during the term. Out OF
an enrolment OF SO students of the high
school eight are seniors who will gradu-
ate from the four years course in June.
Three new subjects will be taken up in
the high school-oratory physiology and
psychology. Arrangements are under
way for grand art exhibit. to take
place probably during the second week
Of March. Four or five hundred carbon
pictures will be exhibited pertaining to
works Of art and interesting scenes
from earth, sea and sky. The display
will be managed by Superintendent c..
W. McCurdy. The admission fee OF 10
cents charged will be used to purchase
pictures which will be kept as perma
nent exhibit in the school. 4 general

to place more loans, has decreased its
rate of interest and isalso giving to those
who have negotiated loans in the past
the benefit of the change to lower rates,
and smaller monthly payments.
Messrs. McCabe and Robinson have
completed arrangements with the mus
ical firm of Briggs & Dam by which
they will give $500 Ludwig upright
piano to the lodge, church school or
lady, receiving the greatest number Of
votes. Elsewhere in this issue will be
found all necessary instructions as to
voting. The piano is on exhibition at
the Star Clothing Store.
s. +. Ferris, who has been foreman
of the big crew of Yakima sheepshear-
ers for several years past, says the state
ment published on the authority of one
of the Mars boys regarding strike
among the shearers, for raise from six
to seven cents per head, was not war
ranted. There is no strike, according to
Mr.. Ferris, nor have the relations be-
tween the shearers and the sheepmen
been anything but friendly. 1t has
been felt, however,, that there should
be some differentials as the sheep in
the lower country are more difficult to
shear on account of sand and dirt than
those in the Selah, Wenas and Kittitas.
At the next meeting of the Yakima
Wool Growers Association, the presi-
dent, Mr.. John Cleman, will advocate
the establishment of six and seven
cent rate and there is little doubt but
what the conclusion reached will be fair
and satisfactory.

EDITOR HERALD:-I want to ask few
questions, even though | betray my ig-
norance thereby. az Why are our cop
per cents called. pennies? A penny is an
English piece of money and worth two
cents of our money. Likewise with the
shilling; it is English and worth "a
cents, and some people call 1917 cents a
shilling. (2) What authority have we
for the word "bit?' / was accustomed
to the word in New Orleans; also to the
word "picayune," which is one-half a
bit or ia cents. In the middle west
never heard the words, but in this state
the word is in common use. (3) Who
was in command of the English army in
South Africa before Lord Butler went
out. / have tenacious idea that it was
Sir William Butler. az What is the al
titude OF North Yakima?
Mrs. CARRIE d. HIGGINs.
(1) The term penny as applied to money
is an English coin, one-twelfth of shil-
ling or about equal to two cents of our
money. The word can only be used
roperly with reference to our money
when applied to an insignificant sum.
The English penny more nearly cores
ponds to our cent piece; hence, no doubt,
the cause of the misuse. The same may
said of the shilling when applied to the
bit. Neither coin is in use in this coun-
try except when interchanged from Brit
ish domains. (2) The bit piece is still
in use in some of the southern states and
is one-eighth of dollar or 1913 cents in
value. The word was first applied by
the English to small Spanish coin used
in the Spanish West Indies and worth
about Is cents, afterward decreased to
the value of dime. A considerable
trade being carried on between the ex-
treme southern states and the Antilles
caused the creation OF the American bit.
The term was introduced into California
by Spanish and Mexicans and came
north with the early settlers. 1t was
never used to any extent in northern
states OF the Mississippi valley. The
picayune is also a Spanish coin, Ga cent,
never used in the north and too small
for this coast. (3) So far as we know
Lord Roberts was the first field marshal
of South Africa and until his arrival
the several armies acted independently
under the direction of the home Office at
London. a. The altitude OF North Yak
ina is 1857 feet

THE COUNTY DIVISION Project
A Matton Rancher Gives His Views on This
Topic, and Sets Some of the Measurements
Made BY Promoters to Rights.

NATION, Feb. y, 1901 Editor HER
AID Il am opposed to the division OF
Yakima county at the present time, and
herewith present few OF the reasons
therefor
In the first place, taxes are very high
in this county now, but ii there is Il
division, the taxes in the newlv-created
county will be doubled or nearly so.
My observation has been. and | have
had considerable experience in the crea-
ton OF new counties, that it is expensive
business even under the most favorable
circumstances. The new county will be
obliged to bear its share OF the old
county, Indebtedness, which share will
amount to $66 ,000 besides, there will
be required new buildings, abstracts Of
title and necessary printing which will
run the Indebtedness up another $780,,
0O0 making a total of $l66,000 for the
new county to carry. With load like
this the sparsely-setted new district of
Riverside will find they have burden
that cannot bring their taxes under or
5 per cent.
The Prosser paper and Dir. Angus have
made some statements which are very
misleading, whether intentional or not
do not know. However, if they will
take the pains to look into the matter,
they will find that the offices OF auditor
and clerk in Yakima county are nearly
self-sustaining, the fees in the auditors
office for the year 1899 coming within
S6l9 Of paving the running expenses Of
that office, the same being true OF the
clerks office, so the burden on the tax
payers of the county is not a. great a.
our Prosser friends would try 10 make
- believe. Again. ii the doctor will
inform himself he will find that his new
county will be in the twenty-fiith class,
and that their auditors salary will be
5000 a year instead of $500 a. he has
stated.
cannot see why DR.. Angus, Mr..
Creason and few others Of Prosser
WHEN tHeN WISH 10 run tile polltlcl ma
chinery Of the county do not tackle
Yakima and not boost new division
scheme upon the people Of the county,
which, lit carries, will prove most
expensive one. Perhaps it is for the
sake of their town, Prosser, whose only
merit is that it has four saloons. two
stores and a blacksmith shop.
To sum the whole matter up, if the
county is divided an old county indebt-
edness will be assumed, and a new debt
of 100000 or more incurred Tor the
aggrandizement OF few people.

ST. VALENTINES BALL.

St. Valentine swore he d outshine
His predecessors all.
And Wed nesday night till mornings light
He gave fancy ball.
And such scene was ne'er ween,
Beheld 'twixt sun and sun:
The lads all there-the lassies fair
Were absent every one.
But bill and coo, embrace and WOO
Affection held full sway,
While hearts estranged were rearranged-
The Devil flew away.
Judge Taggard blew the big bazoo,
Judge Rudkin tipped the bones;
And Merchant Greene, from the tambourine
Drew most inspiring tones
Judge Lince's pent up vigor went
To make the banjo hum,
Judge Prebe threw his soul into
The passionate bass drum.
oh. vision strange, behold the change;
Mayor Fechter led the hall;
With Redman pressed to his throbbing breast
He waltzed around the hall.
On whtlock's lung Dude Minner hung:
belle he was, It's true;
While johnny Ryan with feet a tiyn
Did skip the trala.loo.
As peerless king of the pigeon wing
Frank Cook received the crown,
And drew crowd with plaudits loud
To see him hoe 1t down.
Editor Robertson smiled in the csn.can wild
AS luTuusu lnt ut new
Nor took rest till all confessed
He was a good man, too
With lofty spring in the Highland Fling
Ira Englehart swelled the fun;
For ease and grace and giddy pace
He took the cake-bar none.
But loud bazuo and bass drum too
Dispensed their strains OF love
When >nively braced Fred Parkers waist
And called him Turtle Dove"
I'd fain recite how TIL daylight
The hours were ioyed away
BY Doctors Frank and Hill with prank
In sautatorial play.
How Ionergan, Jim, gave out hymn
To voice the general glee.
And Donovan, Chawles, replied to calls
With the song of widow McGee
In memory green the brilliant scene
viii flourish while we live;
But space is brief. and by your Lief
I'll close this narrative.

distance of any bottle reported.
Long distance drifting in the Pacific

days, was picked up, having covered in
direct line 500 miles, or the entire
distance from San Francisco to China.

the rate OF III knots day, Still an

Lnnd Hunger.

The American people are always
hungry for gold, and any reported new
discovery of the precious metal will
start stampede for the place inside of
AZ hours. Then sometimes they be-
come land hungry. and the eagerness
10 secure farms and homes is almost
equal TO that displayed by the gold
seekers. The present is one Of the
times when the people the land
hungry, evidenced by the scramble to
secure homes In the lately opened In
dian reservations and the tremendous
rush to the Northwest country. where
cheap farms are still to be had. There
are several reasons for this epidemic
Of land hunger--one. the pentifulness
Of money and the low rate OF interest;
another, the constantly improving and
chcapened methods OF transportation,
which annihilate distance and give
great value to farm lands in hitherto
remote and inaccessible locations; an
other is the depleted fertility OF much
OF the agricultural lands OF the Eastern
states. and still another reason mSy be
found in the constantly growing scar
city Of desirable farm lands in any
section OF the country coupled with a
steady increase of population which
seeks place to live and make home.
