A Few Arguments for
Sewerage and Drainage


The theory of George f. Cotterill j.
that a system of drainage for this city.
combined with the trunk line sewers.
will prevent recurrence of the fever
epidemic. Mr.. Cotterill is an expert
sanitary engineers. has carefully
examined the conditions and his opin-
ion is entitled to belief It is shared
by Engineer McCulloh of this city and
Mayor Fechtcr, and number Of the
aldermen are also firm believers in the
theory that drainage and sewerage will
result in more heathful conditions. We
all know that water stands in IA num-
Der of the cellars of the town the year
round. Right now in the heart of ihe
cIty, water can be found in the base
ments of some of the principal bust
ness houses. Many residences are af-
fected in the same manner; the stag
nant water stands in the cellars from
month to month and is no doubt a
breeder of fever germs. 1t cannot be
otherwise. Everybody knows that the
entire town is subirrigated. The seep-
age from the irrigation bitches and the
waste waters from the irrigated lands
surrounding the city all flow under it.
1t is an entirely reasonable conclusion
that a deep drain and sewerage built all
around the city will drain the cellars
and result in much benefit. the writer
is familiar with conditions in Billings
Mont, a town situated very similar to
North Yakima. It. also, is surrounded
by an irrigated district. the town is
lower than the land that is watered. the
entire town is sub-irrigated, water was
standing in the cellars and every sum
mer and fall there was an epidemic of
typhoid. At a heavy expense the city
built drainage ditch, in the form of a
circle, clear around the town, the cost
of which was taxed up to the lbCttine
property. This was followed up by a
complete sewerage system. since which
time the town has been entirely free
from fever. the cellars are all dry and
the improvement is recognized as being
worth many times its cost. North
Yakima. if me engineers are correct. can
get a sewerage and drainage system
combined. She is thus more fortunate
than Billings. What can be done in one
place can be done in another. the CON
ditions were very similar to those in
this city and the fever was eralicated
and vote for the sewerage and drainage
bonds.

MOTHERS HEROIC DEED
SAVES HER BABY'S LIFE
Lets Herself Down into q Well in 20
Feet of Water-BraVe Act
of nrs. ZirkIe.

News reached the city last Friday,
through A. ID. Crandall of the heroism
of mother in saving her child from
drowning, which is as thrilling an in
cident as ever occurred in this locality.
1t is striking illustration of the love
of mother and how she is willing to
sacrifice her own life, if necessary. in
order to protect her offspring. For
tunately in this case, the lives of both
mother and child were saved, but it
was only through the heroism of the
former that both were not drowned and
the deepest gloom cast over happy
home.

feet to the water, and there was no
rope in the well. There was no one
around the house but small children.
Mrs. Zirzle, however. without hesita-
ting a moment. which would have meant
the death of the baby, snatched up a
bride that happened to be near. threw
into the well in twenty feet of water.

Sam Bunce assistant chief and chemical
driver; - Dcyoe, secretary; Pat Jordan.
treasurer The list of members is vet
incomplete, and the roll is stll open for
volunteers.
1t is generally regretted that the
work of the citizens committee was nor
more successful. but after several meet
inga it was found there were somc
points of difference that neither the com
pany nor fire committee would concede.
The following demands were made by
the department, which were mainly
agreed to by the fire committee, after
some amendments by that body:
81. That all ordinances and resolu-
lions of the city council now in effect
be strictly adhered to by the council
and the department.
so. We demand that the chief of the
fire department be allowed exclusive
control of all men, whether paid or vol
unteer, also all fire fighting apparatus
or materials connected in any manner
with the said fire department.
6. That the chief shall have power
to recommend all drivers and other
paid employees which the said chief shall
deem best to emplay, and ne shall have
power to discharge said employees. 1t
is expressly understood that such ap-
pointment shall be confirmed by the said
council
a. That the council shall designate
Immediately that part of the engine
mouse over which the fire department
shall have exclusive control, to the end
that there will be no further conflict be-
tween the different departments or theil
officers.
IS. That all of the active members
of the previous department be retained
and permitted to reorganize the depart
ment with 20 active and 10 reserve
tiremen of the old department.
&c. That at least two paid men be
kept at the engine house, to-wit: A
driver and an assistant at the same
salary as previously paid.
81. That we have no objection to the
dismissal of assistant driver Lemon
but we do object to the abolition of the
office.
As the matter at present stands. there
is nothing left than to stand Loyalty by
the new organization, which starts its
eXistnece with practically all the CON
cessions demanded by the old depart
ment. May the new department have
as much success in battling with the
fiery element as did their predecessors.

The increased rate of taxation to pay
the bonds i going to be so trihing that
it viii hardly be felt at all by the aver
age taxpayer. Mayor Fechtcr estimates
that it will only add one mill. This
means. to a man who pays taxes on u
valuation of $500. an additional cost of
80 cents Il year. on 81 a year if he pays
on $1,000. Each taxpayer can thus fig
ure out Just what the expense of the
sewerage and drainage system is going
to be to him individually. If he does
this the bonding proposition will car
ry. for the majority of the people are
small taxpayers. The heavy taxpayers
are mostly in favor of the bonds. They
figure it as a business proposition; that
their property is certain to decrease in
value if the unhealthy condition of the
city is not improved This is the prac-
teal view of the question Laying this
view aside, however, pride in the city
and the natural love that every citizen
has for his home town should induce
him to work and vote for the bonds
without hesitation.

Peace Conference.

That the further interchange of
views preparatory to the formulating
of program for another peace confer
ence at The Hague be effected through
the international bureau under the
control of the permanent administra
tive council of The Hague, is the sug-
gestion offered by Secretary Hay in a
second circular note to the powers,
made public at the State Department.
The note was dispatched a week ago
but its publication was withheld until
it had reached the various American
embassies and legations abroad. The
secretary summarizes the replies of all
the powers to his note of October 21st
and expresses the qualification of the
President at the cordial reception of
his invitation.
Having taken this initial step the
secretary says the President feels that
he has gone as far as he appropriately
can, and that with the general accept
ance of his invitation in principle, the
future conduct of the affair may fifty
follow its normal channels"
Regarding the conditional accept
ance of Russia. Secretary Hay says
that while the postponement which
this reply necessitates is to be re-
GREETED, this government recognizes
the weight of the motive which in
duced it.

Railroad Cases.

Voluminous records in the case of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
against the Southern Pacific the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the
Santa Fe Pacific and the Southern Cal
ifornia railway were filed in the Su-
preme Court of the United States De-
cember 27th.
The litigation is known as the citrus
fruit case, which was decided ad-
versely to the railroads by Judge Well
born of the Ninth circuit last Septem-
ber. The company then appealed to
the Supreme Court.
Shippers of fruits from southern
California complained to the Interstate
Commerce Commission that the rail-
roads insisted they had the right to
route fruit shipments over eastern
roads of their own selection.
The commission decided that the
shippers had the right to select the
routes over which their shipments
would be made. The railroads also
were ordered to display to the public
their rates for the transportation of
fruits. The Circuit Court sustained
these orders.

To Regulate Corporations.

The first annual report Of the com

submitted to Congress by Commits
sioner Garfield. He says no satisfac-
tory reform is to be expected under the
state system of incorporation; that the
federal government has at its com
mand sufficient power to remedy exist
ing conditions in its control of inter
state commerce.
He therefore suggests that Congress
consider the advisability of enacting q
law for the legislative regulation Of in
terstate and foreign commerce under a
license or franchise which in general
should provide as follows:
THE granting of federal franchise
or license to engage in interstate COM
merce.
THE imposition of all necessary re-
quirementS as to corporate organiZa'
ton and management as condition
precedent to the grant of such fran
chise or license.
