In the report of our meeting of Dec
ember 6 "to the Review it
is stated that resolution was intro
duced makins the west line of the pro-
posed new county to begin" at the Col
umbia river on the north, at point two
miles east of Zillah and running due
south to the Columbia river" Now the
line did not begin at the above named
point; if so, it would start about 81
miles north of Zillah in Kittitas county.
Neither does it run due south. This re-
port says that the resolution was pre-
Joseph Lannin. 1t was not prepared by
II. d. Jory. Mr.. Lannin first suggested
and formulated it and Mr.. Jory simply
wrote it off for him, hence Mr.. Lannin
was asked to introduce it. Following is
the resolution as adopted without a
single dissenting vote, which fact was
not mentioned in the above report and
which resolution was also, for some
reason suppressed.
Resolved, by the people of Sunnysde
and vicinity, in mass convention assem-
bled, that the political, commercial and
economic interests of lower Yakima
county demand the establishment of
new county within the district and upon
the lines agreed upon by the convention
held at Prosser in the summer of 1902.
The report goes on to say FINALLY "a
straw vote was taken on the question
of division on any basis, resulting in "a
for division and A against it," This
"straw vote" was not taken "fnally" or
toward the close of the meeting, as this
report would indicate. On the contrary,
it was taken early in the meeting before
the matter had been fully discussed
and before the above resolution was
finally acted upon, the unanimous adop-
ton of which showed conclusively, not
only that the people were in favor of it,
but that nearly two thirds of those pres
ent had reversed their decision when
they came to realize that division is be-
ing forced upon us and that the best in
terests of Sunnyside could only be con-
served by action along this line.
This "straw VOTE" which has been
magnified out of all due proportion, was
asked for in order to determine the
sentiment of those present on county
division per Sc without reference to the
present status of the question. 1t was
not, as everybody knows, designed to be
a matter of record or of moment in any
sense. If the papers of the county had
quoted from the Sunnyside Sun, they
would have had correct statement of
the sentiment of our people and of the
actual outcome of the meeting.
Many of those who signed the protest
against division as published in last
weeks Republic, all those opposed to di-
vision in general, on the ground of ex-
pediency, when informed that division
is inevitable have said that with such in
formation they would never have signed
the protest, but instead would favor di-
vision on the lines referred to in the above
resolution.
The citizens of Sunnyside have enter
ed the contest with full understanding
of the issues involved. They have only
the most friendly feeling toward the
people of all parts of this great county.

IN REGARD TO
DIVIDING THE COUNTY
Attitude of SunnySide's Mass Meet
ing on This Important
Question.
EDITOR HERALD

1t is not the purpose of this article
either to provoke or to prolong contro-
versy. 1t is the purpose of it to correct
some misstatements that have gone be-
fore the public and to set forth the facts
concerning the action taken at Sunny
side on the 9th inst, at a mass meeting
presided over by DR.. C. w. Chamberlin
as chairman, and II. E. Perrin as sec
rotary, some of which facts in the re-
ports to different papers have been sup
pressed, some magnified to undue pro-
portions and some presented in such
way as to create the impression that
Sunnyside people are seriously divided
on the question of county division.
If the matter could be finally decided
by popular vote, it is more than likely
our people would be overwhelmingly
against any division; but the issue has
been forced upon us. In the words of
Patrick Henry, eve have no election"
and sit is now too late to retire from
the contest" The politicians and the
agitators say the county must and shall
be divided-that opposition to it can
only meet with ignominous defeat.
Since this is the case, Sunnyside pro-
poses not only to stand for county divis-
ion, but to assert her right to be heard
and to be felt if need be concerning
where and how this county shall be di-
vided. incidentally let it here be said
that Sunnyside has no itching office
seekers, nor chronic agitators, nor one
horse, neutrality-suspicious. who are urg-
ing this movement for ambitious per-

Almost Burned TO Death.

The little daughter of b. c. Evans
who resides out near the fair grounds
was severly burned last Saturday, her
left side and one half the abdomen be-
ing crisped by the fire. 1t seems that
she and her younger sister were in the
kitchen together, and lid covering one
OF the holes in the stove had been re-
moved for some cause when in attempt
ing to replace the same and reaching
over the hole the clothing on her arm
above the elbow caught fire. She i'm
mediately ran out OF doors and began
trying to undress, the wind, however,
famed the flames that spread rapidly
over her body. An unknown man driv-
ing past in wagon left his team stand
ing in the road and went to the little
ones rescue in time no doubt to save
her life. Her hands were one mass of
blisters caused from the attempts TO re-
move her clothing
Medical attention was summoned at
once and the doctors pronounced the
burns to be very painful though not
serious.
The little girls name is Bertha and
her bravery on this occasion is worthy
of especial mention. She never WINGED
during the dressing of the wounds.
The Evans family have been victims
of fire several times. In Minnesota,
where they formerly resided, three diff
ferent fires laid their homes in ashes,
the last one caused by the explosion of
an oil stove claiming as its victims the
mother and her baby. 1t was after this
calamity that the father with his two
remaining children decided to come
west.

Graf zu MISUNDERSTANDING the well known
collector and historian of ''eX-libris' gave a
lecture upon that subject before the Munich
Academical Society of the Fine Arts He con-
tended that the proper translation of the term,
which has come so widely into use is not book
sign" CBuchZeichen(, but library sign (Bib-
liothekZeichenD. The phrase signum bbIo-
thecae was in use in the eighteenth century and
was declared to be the best possible by Lem
pretZ, the earliest writer on "eX-libris."
The lecturer gave o summary sketch of the
most ancient library signs in the public col
lectiOns of Europe. beginning with the most
ancient of ALL once in the library OF AmenophiS
III of Egypt and now in the British Museum.
The next part of his lecture dealt with the
heraldic library signs" and he closed with
some account of the chief artists and engravers
of these signs in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries principally in France. England and
America The earliest dated library sign which
the lecturer had seen was Swiss (l0U9). the sec
ond German G516) the third French Q029) and
the fourth English U0I4).
