hunter to take out a l!cence which
costs 81. For convenienc of those
wanting licence in this vicinity
he instructed us to receive the mon
ey and give receipt therefor, and
the holder of this receipt could go
hunting without waiting for the
issuance of the licence The licence
when issued will bear date of re-
ceipt and be forwarded to applicant
to his given address. On being
asked the particular scope of the
notice about hunting geese OH the
feeding grounds along the Colum
bia recently published in the CoUR-
ier, lie explained that those feeding
grounds were the islands and bars
i'll the river and the lands along
tile stream below high water mark.
Only OIL these were hunting abso-

The State Board Of Health visit
North Yakima this week and found
the sanitary conditions appalling.
Two hundred casesof typhoid fever
exists about town and surrounding
country, there being nine cases in
one block. The death rate is very
high and the situation alarming.
The board admitted that that the
city was i'll a deplorable condition
says the Washingtonian and that
there must be a general clean up
throughout the city. One member
of the board said that he had been
i'll many wretclied places, but when
he went through two alleys lie was
dumbfounded and shocked at the
filthy condition of them. The sew
or system was attack ed severely
and one member of the board stat
ing that the whole system should
be torn up. III the irrigation sea-
son water stands i'll the basement of
business houses, breeding germs Of
disease. There are several water
closets in the easements Of business
houses that are elevated in order
to get drain into the sewer. The
causes underlying the whole affair
seem to be defective drainage of
the irrigated sections; poor sewers,
poor water system, and filthy back
yards and alleys. The people of
North Yakima have a serious prob
lem to solve. Let this unfortunate
condition Of our sister city impress
the citizens of Kennewick with the
fact that too much care cannot be
exercised i'll keeping their premises
clean, their ont houses in proper
condition, and their wells pure and
uncoutaminated; above all never
use ditch water. During irrigation
season, the water in the wells are
certain to become more or less con-
taminated, and drinking water
should be boiled. True, conditions
are entirely different here than at
North Yakima owing to the splen-
did subdrailage which will send
all contamination into the Column
bia, bit this III itself will make a
number OF wells dangerous certain
seasons Of the year.

day Is sultry and hardly Is wise choice
for a woman who isn't to have but one
wrap. Many linen ones are seen, but
look fresh for such short time that they
must be worn with discretion. Pongee
coats are great favorttes, even though
they need frequent pressing to keep them
in condition. Many Of them are bright
ened with a bit Of stitching or cording

time when new features are few in the
shops, 30 little evidence of what is com

takes to advising with supposed authori-

finds much diversity of opinion among

those of summer to most intc,ts and pur-

little from the present ones. They in.

In some wash suits and waists Of white
