ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
A Promoter Here From Seattle and Makes ,
Proposition.

J. +. Mcknight of Seattle came to
North Yakima last week and made a
proposition to representative people
looking toward the building OF the cleo
trio railway from North Yakima down
the valley to Sunnyside. Mr.. Mcknight
represents men with capital, and it is
their intention to do business if the
people in the valley will do the right
thing in the matter.
A meeting was held here last Friday
in which representatives of Sunnyside,
Zillah, Mckee and North Yakima took
part. Mr.. Mcknight outlined the
scheme, and told the Yakima people
what is necessary to be done to insure
the building of the road. The stipula-
city of North Yakima, free rghts-of-way
throughout the entire route, a bridge
across the Yakima to Mckee, and guar
anteed freight traffic for two years with
the farmers in the districts through
which the road will pass. When these
requirements are complied with or as
sured the company will build the road,
commencing work in time to complete
the line by June l, 1908.
No definite answer has yet been made
to the proposition of Mr.. Mcknight, but
an energetic effort will be made to COM
ply with all demands made.

The committee have personally called

Not Adjusted Yet.

W. f. Ayres has not yet made final
adjustment with the insurance com
panies in the loss sustained by the burn
ing OF his drug store. The difficulty lies
in the invoice bills being destroyed To
arrive at an estimate of the loss dupli-
cate bills must be secured from the
wholesale firms he purchased from.
This is now under way, and it will not
be long until he has the affair settled
Among the losses at the store was big

School Election.

On Saturday, May s, between the
hours of l and s p. m, an election for
school directors will be held in district
No. Z, which includes the city of North
Yakima. Two directors and one clerk
| are to be elected. The terms of 4. f.
Larson and B. F. Barge, directors, and
f. Il. Peck, clerk, expire, leaving X. X.
Nichols as the holdover. Mr.. Larson
has served faithfully and conscientiously
for three years and will not be a cand-
date for reelection, because he intends
to leave here at some future time. Mr..
Barge has been serving as an appointee
since last year, and has made a very
good official. 1t was given out that he
would not be candidate again. but his
friends say he will, and they mean to
, elect him for another term.
As the duties of the school board of
this district are not light, calling for
some special talent to perform them,
none but the best of men should be
selected for the place. Energetic, influ-
entail, forceful and learned men are
required on a school board, and no others
are fit to fill the place. Next year the
1 city will be called upon, by extreme
necessity, to build new school house,
and men with business qualifications are
needed to look after the matter.
| II. NJ. Gilbert of Mob Hill is candi
date for school director. He is well
known in this city, and has always taken
an interest in the advancement of the
schools. He would be a good man for
the place, and no mistake would be
made in electing him to the Office.

The Lucky Penny Scheme.

The sale of lucky pennies for raising
the fund necessary for the memorial
drinking fountain has been abandoned,
for the reason that it did not seem to
meet with popular favor, and by the ad-
vice of many of the business men it has
been decided to raise the money by
subscription. 1t is necessary to raise
81 900, and of this sum not more than
$500 has been pledged. The ladies feel
they have met with many obstacles and
discouragements, and were it not for the
fact that cpntract has already been
entered into, they would feel it necessary
to abandon the whole scheme and not
force the fountain on the people. AS it
is, they can only depend upon the patri-
otto feelings of the citizens, which would

Finished Tunnel.

According to reliable reports, the
300-foot tunnel driven by the Portland,
Vancouver & Yakima Railway company
through solid ledge OF rock at the falls
OF Lewis river is now completed and
light shines through the tunnel after four
months OF continuous labor at this point.
Now that the rock at this place has been
opened, the most Objectionable point in
the whole route is overcome, and the
rest OF the sixteen-mile extension will
be comparatively easy. The rem ainder
of the new road will, it is said, be COM
pleted within the next month, and Van
couver's sawmilling industry will have
access to the inexhaustible lumber for
ests OF the Lewis river country.

STATE FAIR NEWS.
The Entries for the First Races to Close on
May LIST.

The state fair machinery for the 1902
event is moving along smoothly with
indications that it will outstrip all others
in point OF interest Already INQUIRIES
are coming in to the secretary from dif-
ferent counties inquiring about exhibits.
In reply to these inquiries the secretary
talks encouraginglv. He has adopted
the plan of persuading those counties
exhibiting here this year to leave their
exhibits in the hands of the commission
to be sent to the Worlds fair at St. Louis
next year.
One reason why the fair will be a
greater success financially this year is
that no money will be required for i'm
provements. Last year over $4,000 was
spent in necessary repairs about the
grounds. This year nothing of that
kind will be required, thus leaving the
way clear to offer the same number of
premiums as last year. Among them
will be special premiums offered by
manufacturers and others of the state
and city. To start this part of the
premium list Wyman q Fraser have
offered the best brand Mitchell wagon
for the best exhibit of farm products
raised by one grower. Others are prom
Using to do as well as the above firm.
Thomas H. Brents, superior Judge of
Walla Walla county, has written the
secretary saying that he would send four
of his fillies to Seattle for the races on
August 1928, and that he would have
them put on the track here for two
months prior to going to the Sound. He
was DESTROYS of knowing the condition
of the track for training purposes.
The entries for the stake races close
on May l, and it is expected these will
be well filled.

Gladstone and Irving.

Mr.. Gladstone was a great admirer
and never missed an opportunity Of
seeing Irving in one Of his great char
acters. It chanced that after being

I had occasion to post off to Edin-

how Irving had worked out particular

BERATED FOR HIS HONESTY.
Peculiar Way In Which the Sultan
Treats His Officials.

Said Pasha the grand vizier Of Tur-
key, Is believed to be an honest man
He Is one of the few prominent Off.
cials Of the government who has not
amassed fortune while in office. For
that and other reasons he has many
bitter and revengeful enemies. Six
years ago, when he was grand vizier,
he endearored to punish certain in
fluential pashas for robbing the gov
ernmcnt. They engaged in a con-
spiracy against him and got the ear Of
the Sultan. He believed their state
ments, and sent the Kapu-aghasi, chief
Of the white eunuchs and first officer
Of the imperial bed chamber-the Sui
tan's most confidential man-to sum-
mon Said Pasha to his presence The
Kapu-aghasi is always an unwelcome
messenger. because the Sultan trusts
him when ne. will trust nobody else.
When he carries a message 1t has un-
usual significance.
Said Pasha understood the situa-
ton, and, instead Of going to the pal
ace, sought an asylum at the British
embassy, where Lord Dnfferin, then
ambassador, gave him protection. No
body knew what had become of the
grand vizier until after seven days,
when he sent a carefully prepared re-
port Of his proceedings and the mo-
tive for conspiracy against him to the
Sultan by the hand Of the British am
bassador. The latter explained to the
Sultan his ideas Of the case, and
vouched for Said Pasha as an honest,
truthful and loyal man. The Sultan
was not convinced. but agreed to &C.
cept Said Pasha's resignation without
further proceedings, and gave a for
NAL assurance that If his former
Prime Minister left the embassy and
returned to his own home ne would
not be injured. Lord Dufferin notified
the Sultan that the British govern
ment would hold him responsible for
any injury that Said Pasha might suf-
fer, and that in case of his death not
even a plea Of sickness would be &C.
cepted.
From that hour Said Pasha was the
safest man in Turkey. The Sultan
sent his own physician and two of his
most trusted aids-de-camp to live in
his house to protect him, and, adopt
ing Lord Dufferin's suggestion, made
an investigation of the charges against
him. Nobody knows how he got at
the facts, but he executed some of his
new favorites, sent others into exile
and finally restored Said Pasha to
power. He is still Prime Minister.

The Tacon theatre, in Havana, one
Of the largest and most famous in the
western hemisphere, was built by an
old reprobate, Marti, who was a no
torious pirate in his day, and obtained
immunity for himself by betraying his
comrades into the hands of the Span
ish authorities, says the Army and
Navy Journal. One dark and rainy
night Marti slipped by the sentry
guarding the palace in Havana and en-
tered the apartments of the captain
general, who was writing at table.
When the captain-general raised his
eyes and saw the cloaked figure before
him, he reached for the bell. stop,

Preparatory to this interview Marti

the Spanish force, Gnd every pirate
was captured and righteously garrotec.
AS for Marti. he was not only par
doned, DUt was given monopoly OF
the sale of fish in Havana, which made
him a rich, and thus an eminently re-
spected citizen, who ended his days in
the odor of sanctity. 1t will be remem'

the Welshman. Henry Morgan. showed
such remarkable military talent that
he was knighted by Charles H.. and

Breathe Through Your Nose.

In all kinds of atmosphere the
breath should only be inhaled through
the nose. An occasional breath of ex-
ira pure air through the mouth may be
good; but in cars and m most Offices
and rooms nose breathing is essential.
A second rule is, since so much time
is spent in cars and offices and rooms
in earning a livelihood, and since these
places are overheated and under ven
tilated-the heating and ventilation
being left to the control of most of us
we must take in fresh air whenever
possible, in order that we may restore
the balance. The best times to do
this will be early in the morning, when
the air is freshest. and late at night,
when deep breathing will help us to
get sleep. We may breathe correctly
while we are waiting in a street. and
especially where streets meet. We
can soon form an automatic habit Of
breathing properly on such occasions

STEEL RAILROAD TIES.


Iney are Fur MORO commonly ubcV
Europe Than in the United States.
"Steel ties" said a railroad man,
which, as to width and length, are OF
. ordinary tie dimensions, are made OF
steel about three-eightks of an inch in
thickness pressed into trough shape;
and are laid with the convex side up.
. The rail is secured to the tie by means
of a clip, passing through 4 hole
punched in the tie, and fastening over
the flanges of the rail.
"Steel ties are far more commonly
used in Europe than they are here, this
being especially true as to Italy,
France and Germany, and most partic-
ularly so as to Italy, where many steel
ties are used.
Wood is more costly in Europe
than here, and is used with greater
economy. Here we drive the spikes
into wooden railroad ties, with more
or less danger oi splitting them, and
with a consequent increased liability
to deterioration. In Europe they bore
holes first in which to drive the spikes,
and wooden ties are treated also with
some wood-preserving process, as is
commonly done there, also with tele-
graph poles. fence posts, and wood in
other forms in similarly exposed Sit
uations.
Here, while wood is dearer than 1t
was, and ties cost more than formerly
did, and we are using now more or less
ties of soft wood, wnere We never used
to think of using any but hard wood,
yet wooden ties are still less expensive
than steel. And while mere preserv.
ing plants arc now being established.
still we cannot be said to have reached
yet in this country the stage of the
economical use of wood.
And thus the comparatively limited
use of steel ties here-I doubt if there
are laid in this country a hundred
miles of them yet. altogether-which is
here more experimental" New York
