The figures of the Canadian immigra-
tion for the past year, which have just
been made public, show that Canada is
getting a most desirable class of new
comers. During 1903, it received 12S.000
immigrants, and of these over so per
cent. came from Great Britain, United
States, Germany, France, Belgium and
the Scandinavian peninsula. Only a
very small proportion came from
southern and western. Europe where
the great mass of our own immigrants
now come from. Of course, this
country with its record of almost a
million immigrants the past year, is
leaving Canada far behind in the
quantity Of its immigration, but in the
matter of quality Canada Is far more
favored than we are. 1t is this country
not Canada, which is made the dump
ing ground of the scum and refuse OF
certain sections of Europe, much Of
which is assisted here by the help ol
the home governments and by the low
rates of competing steamship COM
panies, to become burden and menace
to this country and to help fill up it
tenements. poor houses, insane asylum'
and jails. j.; .

The rumor of a visit to this country
by Aguinaldo has again found it's way
into the newspapers. If he keeps post
poning this visit, he will find that it
will take lots of conversation to make
the people understand who he is, or
rather, who he was. for he does not
seem to be anything at the present
time. except an inoffensive little
Filipino who is setting a good example
to all residents Of the archipelago by
quietly recognizing the authority of
Uncle Sam, and in attending to his own
business.

Kansas is not to be blamed for re-
senting the work of the Colorado Off
cials in dumping a special train load of
cutthroats. well-pOisoners and dyna-
miters upon it's soil. What Kansas
wants at this time is not assisted i'm
migration of that kind, but good. hon
est Iaborers for work in the fields. If
Colorado hasn't prison room enough for
its own rascals, it had better lease an
island somewhere on the high seas and
coloniZe them, rather than dumping
them upon an unoffending sister state.

Her Graduation Dress.

When Ethel rose to speak her piece
On graduation day.
She looked upon a gorgeous class
of girls in glad array, .,.
And her young heart was filled Win
peace,
And joy and happiness.
Because she knew they envied her
Her graduation dress.
And so she made her little bow,
And said her little say,
The envy of the gorgeous class
OF girls in glad array.
No one recalls word she said,
But even now, l guess,
Those girls could tell you all about
That graduation dress.

Although President Roosevelt deliv-
cred the Memorial Day address at Get
tysburg, yet ne figured in the celebra-
ton at Bath in a unique manner Hon.
Harold NJ. Sewall says that many of
the striking quotations with which he
ornamented his Memorial day Grafton
were taken from letter written by
Theodore Roosevelt to General T. w.
Hyde avious to the war with Spain,
in which he congratulated the General
upon the latter's book on the Civil War.
Following the Greek Cross" Mr..
Roosevelt spoke at that time with ap-
parent regret. of the lack of opportun-
tiles the present generation of young
men had of emulating the deeds of val
or of the heroes of the Civil War. He
expressed most eloquently his appre-
citation of the heroism of the northern
soldiers and his delight in the Generals
book, which, he said, ne had read once
quite thoroughly, but should re-read
during n long railroad ride he was
about taking. It was only about six
months after the letter was written
| that Theodore Roosevelt was distin-
| gushing himself as Rough Rider at
San Juan hill and making the reputa-
| ton for military valor which later
| caused his election as governor of New
| York and still later made him the Re-
publican vice presidential nominee. 1t
may be that this book, written in Bath
by General Hyde. proved the incentive
to soldiers career. that resulted in
Theodore Roosevelt's becoming Presi-
dent Of the United States today! At
any rate the eloquent letter of appre-
citation which President Roosevelt
wrote General Hyde is among the most
valued treasures of the Hyde family
and will be published in a new edition
of Following the Greek Cross if such
an edition be printed, as is very proba-
ble.

Locally the hop market remains firm
although there are rumors of an in
crease in price in otner places which
may have an effect on the situation in
North Yakima. There is no indication
of lower price than now prevails, and
on the other hand there seems to be
good reason to believe that choice hops
will be worth more than has been paid
here this season. Growers realize, now
ever, that a fancy price will only be
paid for fancy hops, and those who have
not the very best are letting the mgo at
prices ranging from % Ice on up. Deal
ers agree that there are still more than

The MUNICIPAL ELECTION
IS NOT BEING FORGOTTEN
Interest Therein Will Probably Increas Sc
After the General Election-Places
to be Filled.

Very little has been said in regard
to the coming city election, probably on
account of this being the year of the
general election. the events and issues
of the campaign causing municipal a.
fairs to be overlooked for the time be-
ing. However. a number of things give
rise to the belief that as soon as Roose-
welt, Mead and the candidates for state
end county offices on the republican
ticket are safely elected attention will
turn to matters in connection with :he
r,ty government and the men VINO arc
to fill the offices for the coming term.
AT the coming election whuch will Dc
held on Tuesday, December 9th. the
First, Third and Fifth wards will eject
new councilmen-or re-elect the present
incumbents-and the city will vote for
a mayor, clerk, treasurer and council
man at-large. The choice of candidates
for the council will probably be made
with little difficulty, and mas apparently
been given little consideration up to the
present time. Charles Donovan, the ef-
ficient city treasurer, has given entire
satisfaction, and if there is any reason
why he should not be reelected, it has
not been advanced. In all probability
he will have no opponent should he de-
sire the office again. As for the present
city clerk, his willingness to accept the
Office again would be equivalent to re-
election. Mr.. BROKER has made an cN.
cellent official, and has satisfied every
one who has had business dealings with
the clerks department of the city gov
eminent. He is thoroughly competent,
pleasant and obliging. and keeps the
business and records of the city in fine
shape. Everything said of him in his
official capacity is in the way of praise
for the many qualities that go TO make
first-class official which he possesses.
Whether there will be any rivalry
over the office of mayor remains to he
seen, and this probably depends a great
deal on whether anything develops be
tween now and election that may fur
nish an issue At this time there is
nothing that may be looked upon a. an
issue on which to base a fight The
Herald has heard but two names men
toned in connection with the Office -
those of O. A. Fechter. the present in
cumbent. and d. NJ. Rand. councilman
from the First ward. So far as fitness
goes, either of these gentlemen would
be acceptable to North Yakima. Both
are well informed, liberal and public
spirited, and both are sincere in their
desire to do everything they can for
the advancement of the city. The city's
interests are safe under the guidance
of either gentleman.
The matter of the selection OF coun-
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1904-11-02

cilmen is one of great Importance, and
the choice should not be made without
knowing the attitude of the men TO oe
elected on all matters that may come
up, and especially public Improvement,
the granting of franchises, etc. Only
about a month remains before the city
election, and these matters should be
borne in mind and decided with as mucn
care and attention to details as is Civ
en- to matters in connection with The
general election.

Halloween Social by c. E. Society.

Halloween party Monday evening. 1t
was given by the members of the G. +.

was largely attended. The young folks
went masked, and much merriment fol-

was revealed. Miss Goldsberry, as the
gypsy fortune-teller, gave those who
desired an insight into the mystic flu
ture, while other amusements were in
dulged in. Refreshments of pie, dough-
nuts and coffee were served.
