SAGE FEELS HURT.
Annoyed by Statement That Farm
Said to Belong tn Him Had
Been Sold for Taxes

A fine hundred-acre farm near Nyack,
standing in the name of Russell Sage
was sold at auction the other day be-
cause Mr.. Sage refused to pay the
taxes. The amount due was only $3.50.
and the farm il worth $500. The sale
took place at New City. the Rockland
county seat. and was made by County
Treasurer Randolph. When the crowd
learned that Russell Sage was the own
er and that he was letting the farm go
for $3.50 not a bidder opened his mouth
They suspected that the title must be
full of holes or that there was some
other hidden defect about the place.
else why should the sagacious financier
let property worth $500 go for $3.50?
Vainly Mr.. Randolph tried to coax
bid out of the crowd. and finally he
was forced to buy it in for the county
for $3.50.
Mr.. Sage was seen at night at his
home on Fifth avenue. II always pay
my taxes" said MIR. Sage. THAT could
not have been any land owned by me. :
Mr.. Sage turned away as il his bust
ness sagacity had been motally in
suited.

As the city officials have shown dis
position to foster sanitation in North
Yakima with view of lettering the
health OF the community, they should
have the cooperation OF the whole peo-
pie without stint. On the healthful-
ness OF locality mainly depends the
permanent growth OF community OF
people who have pitched their tents, for
veal or for woe, in any region of the
earth. And as nature has particularly
favored the Yakima valley, it is incum-
bent on the people who have come here
to make their future homes to assist in
overcoming the impediments placed in
the way of continuous flow of nature :
healthful and healing influences. AS
long as the natural conditions were not
disturbed 10 any great extent the Yak
ina was singularly healthfu district

but so soon as the people began to come
in great numbers to reap its climatic
crops the detrius Of human habitation
began to clog the ways, and the disease
germs took root among the people. So
to minimize the effects of such condi-
tions the material upon which the germ
has its beginning must be eliminated in
so far it as is possible. This material is
filth-the product of decayed and de-
caying vegetable and animal matter
discarded and thrust aside as the "of-
fals' OF the household or other places.
And as the summer months are near at
hand-the season when disease germs
multiply and spread-the people should
join together and make systematic
cleaning up so as to be better able to
cope with the conditions that are liable
to exist here this season If no steps are
taken in that direction.
