AS to the value of diamonds, per
fectly white stones or decided tlnts OF
red, rose, green or blue are most high
ly priced. Fine cinnamon and salm-
ON or brown, black or yellow stones
also are esteemed. If f1awless and
without tint OF any kind. they are
termed first water. IL they possess a
steeiy blue color, at times almost
opaiescent, they are called blue white.
Such are usually Brazilian stones. Ex-
ceptionally perfect stones are termed
gems, and for such there Ii no fixed
value, the price depending on the puri-
ty and the briliiancy Of the stone. The
term frst water varies In meaning. ac-

The manner Of constructing the fort

practices then In vogue. The work was
almost wholly done by slaves who were
brought to the place by their masters
and leased to the engineers In charge.
The slave owner received 80 cents a
day for each slave. aud the government
furnished each ''laborer," as the slave
was called. with two suits OF working
clothes. a pair or two OF shoes. rations.
quarters and occasionally little tobac-
co. The ''iaborers" worked with very
little clothes and generally without
shoes. They lived In barracks and were
subject to a kind OF military discipline.

was AZ equally satisfactory In the one
case as in the other, the run yielding

A striking feature OF the general in

The bicycle riders are feeling indig-
nant over the alleged injustice done
them in making them pay fine for rid
ing on the sidewalks. While they adj
NIT that in riding on sidewalks they vio-
late an ordinance, they think it unfair
that they should be singled out for prose
cution when other ordinances are being
daily violated in the city. They cite,
for instance, the ordinance against the
slot machines. a slot machine man,
they contend, is arrested and fined but
once month, and is permitted at the
same time to violate an ordinance con-
tinuously; while on the other hand they
hold that a bicycle rider is liable to ar
rest and fine every day in the week.
The bicycle riders believe in justice be-
ing done at all times.

BUILD A PARK.

In another column of this issue will
be found an article favoring the estab-
lishment of park in the city Of North
Yakima. The suggestion is good one.
Build park by all means. 1t will cost
an insignificant sum, and its mainte-
nance would not entail a very great
expenditure of public money. As out
lined in the article mentioned the park
would be a good thing for the city. 1t
would be enterprise, and a handsome
legacy to hand down to future genera
tons. 1t would show that the people
are interested in the beautiful in nature.
who are busily engaged in the strenuous
work OF developing new and wonder
fully productive country; and, besides,
it could be made place of recreation
on days OF leisure. In itcould be placed
the public fountain, the memorial to
company f., and other works OF art
commemorative of the deeds OF man
and the virtues of the human race.
There could be miniature lakes, rustic
bridges, shady pathways, vine-clad
hooks for lovers, a small menagerie and
many other things that would attract
the eye and gladden. the heart. While
the location proposed on block los is
small, it would be good beginning of
meritorious piece OF work that may lead
suggest that the matter be brought be-
fore council at its next meeting to get
the thing started.

The new law, just signed by the COVER
nor, imposes a license Of 81 annually on
all hunters. The bill provides that the
open season for killing moose, elk, Carl
bou, antelope or moutain sheep shall be
from September to November l.. 1t is
unlawful to kill more than four deer,
one elk or antelope or two caribou or
sheep. Ten is the limit OF grouse, par
fridge, prairie chicken or native phea-
SAINTS. In kittitas and Yakima counties
prairie chickens or sage hens cannot be
killed till after August Is, 1908. The
law makes it compulsory on every resi-
dent who desires to hunt in the state
to first secure licence from the county
auditor. Residents are taxed 81 and
non-residents $40 A singular provision
imposes penalty OF $50 for every male
elk killed, This undoubtedly refers to
female elk.
