spin his ivory ball to attract attention,
the Klondike man will rattle his trans
parent dice and the rubber ball will be
sent rolling around the bookmakers'
wheel, but customers are few and far
between. Women may drift over to ex-
anime the tables and to have the games
explained to them; but the regulation
hour for play has not arrived.
Eight o'clock is the time set for be-
ginning. Men and women, after eating,
sit around disconsolately until then, I'M
less they see fit to bowl or play bill
lizards. When the clock strikes the hour
the crowd shifts to the club house, and
keno begins. This is the great game
for women and children. The chairs
facing the blackboard have been shift
ed from their straight rows and now
encircle six tables, each intended to
accommodate twelve persons.
The tables are Uttered with num-
bered cards, and with buttons for use
as markers. Numbers are drawn and
called out in loud tones, and the per-
son who first covers line of five wins
as large a share Of the total sum in
vested as the manager sees fit to turn
over. AS many cards may be taken at
once as desired, the rate being 25 cents
a card. 1t Is simply the children's
game Of lotto played for money.
The game brings together the great
est crowd of the day, far more persons
than ever gather at one time in the
dining room, as the meal hours are long
and many Of the patrons rush through
their food and get away In very quick
ordera The women have donned their

many of them leading their children,
chubby girls with huge sashes, pink

Keno Is Popular.
All the seats at the keno tables are
quickly filled. There is sprinkling of
men-siX or eight in all, perhaps
and most of these are merely acting as
escorts for youngsters or for their
wives and supplying the funds for the
cards.
The chief reason for the popularity
of keno with the fair sex appears to
be that one may remain in the game
for some time at a comparatively small
expense, as it is apt to take from five
to ten minutes to learn ones fate, and
the money is not brushed aside in a
moment, as 1t is in some of the other
games.
Keno starts with a hustle of excite

which comes in an infinite and tempt
ing variety. There is, a long list to
choose from to suit the most fastidious
taste, ranging from the electric bath,
at 81, to the regular swim In the pool
at 40 cents. The mud bath is easily
supreme in popularity. 1t Is specially
recommended to, various seekers after
health, as well as to those who come
here for rest and amusement. For this
afternoon function the men disrobe in
large room containing a score OF
cots. Clad in an airy towel they then
proceed to an ordinary hot room, with
temperature of 100 degrees.

joke about a man losing his meal ticket,
but comparatively few persons have
ever seen real ticket of this sort. The
big hotels Of Saratoga get along with
out this method of identification, but
here the tickets are very much in evil

he signs the register, and he shows
the card to the guardian of the dining

porter Mr.. Freeman stated that North
Yakima is to have large seed and farm

The BaIIOting Has Begun.

Balloting for the Carnival queen began
in the city Monday night at the follow
ing places: Hotel Yakima. Club Cigar
store, Johnston Music Co., Nagler's Cigar
store, A. s. Dam, Barnes and Grafton.
Otter Bros, MechtePs Bakery, Roaf's
Drug store. At these places will always
be found ballot box with instructions
how to cast your votes. The votes will
be collected every two or three days so
as to give the newspapers of the town
an opportunity to keep the interested
public informed with relation to the con-
test. Candidates are eligible to enter
up to and including August lst. The
contest closes at 10 p. m, Saturday,
August Sth.
There will be no count made the last
four days of contest and all candidates
are invited to have a representative at
the final count Immediately after close
of contest on August s. A notice of
where count will take place will appear
later.
Miss Birdie Bartholet has requested
the Herald to withdraw her name from
the list of candidates. Miss Bartholet
will not be here to participate in the
carnival pleasures and it will therefore
be an injustice to her friends were she
to allow her name to be voted for. Miss
rel OF hnt hn1
lots cast for her be turned over to Miss
Francis Schorn. In this event it will
bring the difference between Miss Will
hanson and Miss Schorn on the first
count down to l27 votes in favor of the
former The contest is in its infancy,
however, and a dark horse (fguratively
speaking) may yet be entered and stand
an equally fair chance at election. The
two leading candidates. Miss Francis
Schorn and Edythe Williamson are two
of Yakima's most charming and hand
some young ladies. In fact every one
of the candidates are typical types of
American young womanhood and who
ever is elected will be an honor to the
occasion and event. The contest between
Misses Schorn and Williamson promises
to be one of the prettiest race that will
go down on record. Both are extremely
popular and their friends will be in at
the finish doubtless casting 10000 shot.
The votes cost one cent each.
Now is the time to rustic for your
candidates and obtain a big lead if pos
sihle

ment. 1t is not sufficient to say
that the people have it in their
power to vote against one nominated
by unfair means, but it ought not to
be necessary to elect one of an
opposite party in order to correct
such mistakes. Even the fact that
the people have it in their power to
retaliate by defeating the candidate
nominated is no excuse for the man
who violates his instructions. We
do not excuse crime because it may
be possible for the loser to recover
the stolen goods.
The country needs to be awaken

the duties and responsibilities of
citizenship and the punishment of a
