AN UNJUSTItIABLE WHINE.

A committee consisting of the fol-
lowing representative citizens-H. NJ.
Lichty, Lee A. Johnson, Harry Elmer
and Mrs. \. f. Perry-went up to North
Yakima last week, bearing with them
protests and petitions in the matter Of
the saloon at Mabton. Notwithstanding
the personnel of the committee and the
fact that they represented 400 signers
and many more who had no opportunity
to sign, the North Yakima papers treated
their visit and their mission as of little
consequence and gave the matter only
the briefest notice. OF course, the
slight to the members of the committee
will be passed by as having no signifi-
canoe worthy of consideration, but to
practically ignore a matter which has
been regarded of sufficient Importance
to receive the attention of such con-
siderable number of the citizens of the
county may be regarded, at least, as
indicating where the sympathies of the
papers lie in relation to temperance
Sunnysids Sun.
THE HERALD does not believe the above
is true expression of the sentiment of
the Mabton-Sunnyside people. The
representative people of that section
with whom the publishers of this jour
nal have come in contact are apparently
too broad-minded to voice anything so
narrow as the above clipping. Mabton
people who come to North Yakima, so
far as can be learned, are always treated
with due courtesy and North Yakima
people are always happy to extend the
glad hand to visitors from the lower end
of the county.
To be sure the band is not called out,
parade formed and a grand public de-
monstration made whenever North Yak
ina is favored with visit from its down
county neighbors, but their welcome is
none the less cordial for all that. AS to
the question OF saloon license or no
saloon license in the town OF MabtOn.
that is matter that lies entirely with
the people OF that town and with which
North Yakima has nothing whatever to
do. The people of Mabton and vicinity
do not want saloons, and they have
taken the proper method to have their
wishes in the matter respected; that
all there is to it. They have voted "no
saloun.' and The HERALD is glad of it :;
but if the member OF the protesting
delegation, who penned the above eX-
cerpt, expected that delegation to be met
at the depot by the entire population of
this city, midst the blaring OF trumpets,
the waving of banners and the booming
Of cannon, and that the event would be
heralded to an eXpectant and almost
breathless public in glaring headlines
and descriptive articles by all the news

papers of this city, he greatly over
estimated the importance Ito the rest Of
the world) of the laudable mission in
which he was engaged. AS was sug-
gested at the outset, the paragraph
quoted is one-man sentiment and not
the expression of the people of the lower
end of the county. They have too much
sense to give public expression to such a
narrow-minded view.
The people of that section have much
to thank the papers of North Yakima
for. 1t is largely through the vast
amount of gratuitous advertising in the
columns of these papers that Sunnyside
and its many advantages become known
to the outside world, and THE HERALD
does not believe its people are unappre-
ciative enough TO countenance express
sions like the above from the Sun.

This is the season of the year when
the drummer from remote parts of the
country will ply his vocation among the
people of the city and country, endeav-
oring by very plausible stories to induce
consumers to purchase large bills of
groceries or other articles, representing
that a large saving can be made by so
doing. 1t is just as we'll for all to duly
investigate their methods before pur-
chasing. While on the face there may
appear to be a saving by purchasing
from nonresident house in preference
to the home merchant, there is in reality
none. The home merchant will, in nine
cases out of ten, duplicate the price
offered if given the opportunity, and in
every case give the consumer better
goods for the money. The home mer-
chants are the ones who pay the taxes,
and to whom you look to maintain pub
lie enterprises, and they are the ones
entitled to your patronage. Give them
an equal show with the house in Port
land, Seattle, or San Francisco, and you
are sure of better treatment, besides the
satisfaction of knowing your money
remains at home, and that you have
reasonable show OF getting it again.

TO CLOSE THE OPERA HOUSE.

The city council at its meeting Mon
day evening practically concluded that
North Yakima's handsome little opera
house was a superfiuity and that the
city would be better off without it.
Without consulting the wishes of the
people in the matter that body, or at
least certain members of the same, rail-
roaded through an ordinace making the
opera house license $3.50 per year higher
than is paid in Denver, Salt Lake City,
Helena, Butte, Spokane, Portland,
Seattle, Tacoma, or any other cities in
the western circuit. The original pro-
position sprung was to raise the license
from 800 now paid, to $500, and the
billposter's license, which is an adjunct
OF the theatre, from $40 to $3.50; but
on the reading of letter from General
Theatrical Manager Cort of Seattle to
the effect that from the moment such
an ordinance was passed the opera house
would be closed it was decided to cut
the theatre license down to $3.50, leaving
the billposter license at $3.50.
Both of the above figures are prohibit
tory, and if the ordinance stands Local
Manager Fournier will have to tear
down his bill boards and the theatre be
closed. AS Mr.. Fournier has been to
an expense OF a good MANY hundreds
of dollars in perfecting his billposting
plant without any warning that he
would have to pay an outrageous license,
it is needless to point out that the action
ri the council is a rank injustice to him.
As to the opera house license, THE HER
AID has it on good authority that Man
ager Cort will not pay penny over the
500 and the opera house will in conse-
quence be closed.
The ordinance did not pass through
the usual formula of being held over for
delberation but was introduced, read
three times and passed, Fisher, Aiken,
Switzer and Keck voting aye, and
Wyman and Lggett voting no, the
mayor being absent.
The city council is supposed to be a
deliberative body and il elected to serve
the interests OF the people As such it

A Boy and a Gold Watch Missing.

Arthur Mills, young man who dur
ing the last four months has been the
Office boy and janitor for DR.. j. B.
Burns, left town mysteriously Tuesday
night, and Wednesday morning DR..
Burns missed his fine 5000 watch. 1t is
supposed the boy took the watch, and
the police and sheriff are now making
an effort to find him. The lad had a
good room at the doctors house, was
always treated kindly, his work was not
heavy, and why he should prove SO I'M
grateful is a mystery.

The City Council of Bremerton has
repealed the ordinance prohibiting
saloons on its most prominent street
and this action has called forth merited
rebuke from Congressman Humphrey,
who says the city has acted in bad faith
with the government. 4 copy of the
prohibitive ordinance was forwarded to
Washington at the time of its passage
and on the strength of this the depart
ment allowed the navy yard to con-
time, but now Congressman Humphrey
says that unless the people of that place
take immediate action to meet the de-
sires OF the government on the saloon
question, he will lay all the facts before
the Secretary OF the Navy. In the
event this becomes necessary the city OF
Bremerton will most likely suffer from
the hasty actions OF a few open policy
politicians.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1903-04-22

has no right to take hasty action on any
important matter.
The ordinance should be repealed
forthwith.

WANT McARTHUR DISMISSED.
Charges Against the superintendent
bv Many Indians.

A petition for the removal of e. T. Nc
Arthur superintendent of the Nez Perces
Indians. in Idaho, has been fled at the In
dian bureau by Senator Hepburn of Idaho
1t is signed by 100 allottees among the Nez
Perces, and is accompanied by letters from
G. W. Thompson of Lewiston, Idaho, and
A. j. Showalter of Lapwai, Idaho. The
petitioners charge that after announcing
last summer that no rents would be receiv-
ed or disbursed until November 1, and near
ly all the Indians had gone to the noun
tains Superintendent Macarthur began re-
ceiving rents and withdrew his deposits
from a national bank and placed them in a.
newly organized bank at Cul de. Sac, of
which ]. S. Martin the chief clerk OF the
agency, is president; A. ]. Montgomery.
assistant clerk, director, and, the petit
ticners believe, Macarthur is a heavy stock
holder.
The petition also charges Macarthur with
not attempting to suppress the introduction
of liquor on the reservation that he makes
proyisos in the Indian leases that work
hardship; that he Is ill-tempered and
threatens to withhold rents from Indians
unless they send their children to the gov
eminent school.

DAMAGE NOT AsCERTAINED.
Impossible at Present to Estimate Cost
of Repairing Airship.

No estimate can yet be placed on the
damage done to the Langley aerodrome dur
ing the recent test on the Potomac river.
Prof Charles NJ. Manly, who operated the
machine, spent today at the houseboat
carefully examining the wreckage for the
purpose Of arriving at a definite conclu-
sion as to the damage done and the proba-
BILE cost of repairs. This will probably take
all day.
No work was done on the houseboat yes
terday, the workmen having been given a
holiday. They were on hand bright and
early this morning, however and will prob
ably transfer the wreckage of the airship
to the workshop in the rear of the Smith
sonian Institution, where 1t will be put in
shape and readiness for any further tests
which may be made.
1t is believed the. operation of the airshir
during the several tests has been such that
the experts who have charge will have nc
difficulty In securing the needed money for
| the expense of continuing the work. Prof
Langley still has faith In his machine al
| though he has at no time made any positive
| promise of what it would do. This conf
dence is founded on the years of study he
| has given to this particular problem and In
| 1t he is reinforced by the confidence of the
government officials in him. Prof. Langley
expects to discover the cause of the acct
| dent Tuesday, and when he does so, 1t is
| intimated, he will make public statement
| of just what happened
1t is considered improbable that there will
| be any more attempts to test the machine
| this winter but 1t is confidently expected
| that early next summer experiments will be
resumed.
