lilies living along one ditch, all throwing
refuse into it, and all taking water TO,
domestic purposes from it.
"At one place stopped saw tub
full of soiled clothing from fever pa

was in a revolving condition. Three

"Your town needs a thorough cleaning
up without delay. The fight for cleanli-
ness should be taken up and prosecuted
to the bitter end, and it will be well
as part of the campaign to inaueu-
rate the building of a complete system
of sewers and drainage system
The above is so nearly identical with
the view of this matter taken by the
Herald that a portion of the article
printed in the Herald of November 5.
1901, is herewith produced without apol-
ogy:
I'm the first place, North Yakima is
far from being clean city; in the see
ond place it needs a public health de-
partment conducted on a modern sys-
TEN of sanitation. So long as the pco-
pie overlook these two important items
just so long will they have condemna-
tory outside influences to contend with.
THE assertion that the city is filthy
can be substantiated by anyone after a
little investigation. There are hundreds
of outside closets in the city that are
not cleaned out once in six months and
some of them not once in six years
The air is contaminated by the foulncss
arising from these places which in many

through their neither parts. In some
localities these outhouses are so foul
that person is compelled to "hold" his
nose while passing. and on a calm even
ing it may be noticed by anyone how
rank the smells are that pervade the
air. often sickening in the extreme. This
is not all. Cesspools are in almost ev-
cry back yard. ana offal piles clog the
alleys ana make them disagreeable even
to canine. In the central part of the
city everything imaginable is thrown in
to the alleys to putrify and to contami-
nate the air. Cellars are dirty, sewers
are clogged and the irrieating bitches
are often the receptacles for unspeaka-
Bile filth from campers and shack in
habitants. So is it then any wonder
the city is unhealthy when the hot sea-
son sets in?
Men familiar with the subject say
that irrigation is not responsible for
the sickness every year; it is the things
above mentioned. And remedy must
be sought. What is needed is a health
officer who is not a practicing physi-
clan. so that he can devote his entire
time to the work. The present head of
the health department has large med
zeal practice and ii is absolutely impos-
sible for him to give the city the time
necessary to make the sanitary conIi-
lions what they should be. however

under Christ's law of disintercSted love
and unScltish service. Love loves Il
hard task. 1t gives all it has and longs
for more to give. He is not rich who
lays up much, but he only who lays
out much. We are willing enough that
Christ should have been Cruciti"d for

Of being cruciticd for him. Some pro-

The non-union men continue to oc
cupy the attention of the coal strike
commission at their session in Phila-

lawlessness in the anthracite coal
region during the strike. The tes

played a leading part in the alleged
persecution of non-union men ami
their relatives. Five witnesses testi-
fled to their houses being more or
less sriously damagd by persons
some OF whom are known to be
union men, placing the high explo-
sives on the property. Other wit
nesses told of a man being blown up
locomotive damaged, steam pipes in
two different collieries either broken
or damaged by dynamite, bridges
end fences damaged by incendiary
fires and attempted wrecking of
their trains. One youth said he was
stabbed. Several of the witnesses
were boycotted and several others
told of being beaten by crowds and
OF their houses being stoned. A
young woman told the commission
she was dismissed as school teach
er because her brother chose to
work during the strike. Another
witness said he was afraid to attend
the funeral of his mother. who had
died while he was working behind a
colliery stockade. One witness told
of having been punished by mob

assaulted by the waiting crowd
which had greatly increased. The
