Accident to Mrs. Doering--Unjust
Assessment.

If the lumber company is to be
permitted to collect toll from the
settlers of Long valley, why should
they not pay just proportion OF
the taxes of the county? Two
years ago they bought between
$4,000 and $4,000 acres of timber
from the state, paying 81 cents per
thousand feet. This timber was
sold at public sale and for cash.
This time it has been assessed at
43 cents per thousand feet; why
should it not be assessed at 81 cents
per thousand feet?

ROSEBERRY.
Three Irrigation Canals Being
Made--Speaking Contests.


Made--Speaking Contests.
We wish to agree with the AD-
vocATE in regard to irrigation. We
have in our part of the valley three
canals under construction. One is
out of Boulder creek, owned by
William Boutwell, and Mart Nelson,
covers several hundred acres, and
will be ready for use next year.
The settlers southwest of Roseberry
have another ditch building which
when completed will cover about
two thousand acres of land. And
there is also settlers ditch on the
south side of Gold Fork which is
taken out of that stream about
three-fourths of a mile above Suits
sawmilf They expect to have this
canal completed next year; the dam
across Gold Fork is almost done,
and this is the hardest part of the
work. This canal will cover all
the land for miles down the valley,
which means a great deal.
The speaking contests held at
the Roseberry school house the
evenings of Nov. Oath and 25th
were a grand success, and were
largely attended. A number of
people from Vanwyck, Center and
Lardo were present. In the ad-
vanced contest the prizes were
awarded as follows: First prize,
$500, Nelly Parks; second, $1.OO,
Mervin Loomis; third, 75c., Roy
Blankinship. The prizes in the

A JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

1t will be observed that the call of
the republican county central committee
for the county convention on the 9th
inst also provides for the election of
delegates to a judicial convention. This,
presumably, settles the question of NOM
mating successor to Ira P. Englehart,
who last week declined the nomination.
The action of the committee in calling
for the election of delegates to new
convention is in line with the advice CIV
en- by Chairman Palmer of the state
committee. Another convention will be
much more satisfactory than if a nomi-
nation were made by the three state
committeeman, or by the delegates to
the last judicial convention. Their du-
ties were ended when that convention
adjourned and a new set of delegates
should make the nomination. 1t is
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1904-08-03

hoped, however, that they will bear in
mind the old adage that the office should
seek the man, which is especially true
i'll the selection of judicial candidate.
The duties of superior judge are so
far reaching they mean so much to the
public, involving, as they do, the prop
erty, liberty and lives of the people,
that there should be no unsecmly scram-
bic for the position. Only a man of IT.
reproachabc character should be select
ed for such a place, a man in whom the
people have confidence as a man and
citizen. The fact that an aspirant for
such a position is n good lawyer and a
good fellow is not sufficient; he must
be able to command the respect OF the
people as we'll as their confidence.
The Herald has no candidate to sug-
gest for the superior iudgeship at this
time, but there are a number of repub-
lican lawyers in this district who fill
every requirement. Some of them, no
doubt, like Mr.. Englehart, cannot afford
to accept the nomination on account of
the inadequate salary, but rather than
name a man not possessing the quail
fications here enumerated, admitting
that the position belongs to this county,
it would be far better to seek elsewhere
for the nominee.

A BUSINESS man of this city today for
warded draft for S. to Clara Field of
New York City, treasurer of the fresh
air fund of the great metropolis, which
every summer gives outings to the thou
sands of poor children of the city and
thus afford the little ones pleasure that
could not otherwise be attained. The
- contributed from Yakima was from
the little children, contributed penny
at a time, this being the fourth summer
that they have sent similar sum. To
many people S. may seem to be an in
significant sum OF money, but to the lit
tie tots who saved it up for such laud-
able purpose it represents a great deal
and the sacrifices they have made to
raise it deserves commendable mention

The news from the democratic state
convention at Bellingham. which will
probably complete its labors today. is to
the effect that George Turner will be
named for governor by reclamation. ac-
cording to program. Stephen Judson, a
lawyer of Tacoma. is slated for lieuten-
ant governor and it is said Lee Purdin
of Ellensburg will be named for auditor.
the platform, written by George Tur-
ner's law partner, will declare for rail
rog commission law, while Turner him
self il down in New York hobnobbing
with the Standard oil company and the
o'her big trusts, getting instructions as
to how to conduct the campaign and
something funds with which to run it.
'r.e Gully good thing that the conven-
ton is liable to do is to endorse Mark
y. Fullerton, republican candidate for
supreme judge, in movement for non
partisan judiciary. Not that railroad
commission bill is not a good thing. but
tie nomination of Turner. an attorney
and agent of the Standard Oil, nullifies
the effect of the declaration.

MR.. MEAD'S VISIT.

The Herald wants the people to meet
and become acquainted with a. f. Mead
the republican candidate for governor
on the occasion of his visit to this city
next Saturday to attend the Woodmen
log rolling. He does not come on a po-
itical mission, and will not make a po-
litical speech. but is here to meet the
people and enjoy with the members of
the Woodmen lodge and their friends
the big celebration. 1t will afford an
excellent opportunity for the people to
learn for themselves Just what kind of
IA man the republican candidate for gov
ernor is. And when they have met and
convcrsed with him. they will realize how
false and absurd are the claims that he
is the candidate of the railroads; they
will learn that he is the character of
man who acts for himself, thinks for
himself, and could not be controlled by
anyone. He is a clean and able man, is
in every way fitted for the position of
chief executive of this great state, and
after the people here have become per-
sonally acquainted with Mr.. Mead they
will fully realize that the republican
state convention made no mistake in
the selection of its candidate.

George Donald says he would not run
for the office of county commissioner
because he is crank on the subject of
good roads; that if ne was elected to
that position ne would spend every cent
available in improving the highways.
That is what this county needs more
than anything else and if man of the
standing of Mr.. Donald could be induced
to accept the position, he would have no
trouble in securing the nomination and
election. The sentiment for good roads
is rapidly growing in this county and

pleased to note, are beginning to take
an interest in the matter of sending the
rifle team TO participate in the national
shoot. and will assist in raising the
funds necessary to defray the expenses
of the trip. In view of the fact that
eleven of the twelve snarpshooters are
from this city she should take pride in
the matter and raise at least $500 of the
$4,000 required.

HIS DEATH SAVES OTHERS.
Engineer Stays by Throttle and Keeps
Cars on Track.


Elizabeth, N. J.-James Petit, engi-
neer of a construction train on the
South Shore branch of the Central Rail-
road Of New Jersey, lost his life, but
in doing SO saved 200 others from in
jury and perhaps death. The accident
occurred four miles from here.
The South Shore line is a single
track affair and is used chiefly for
transporting laborers and material
from the main line in this city to the
shops at Carteret. The roadbed is of
recent construction, and is supported
by piles driven in the soft marshes.
The train, which consisted of an en-
CINE and three coaches filed with
employees, was making the last trip to
this city when the accident occurred.
Engineer Petit saw the rails spread
some twenty feet ahead of his engine
and applied the brakes. The train was
moving slowly at the time. As result
of the engineers faithfulness the three
coaches remained on the tracks, but
the engine bumped along the ties, and
finally rolled over the embankment.
Petit went with it. and he was
crushed under the engine in the marsh.
Fred Mooney, the fireman, escaped
death by jumping. He was painfully
injured, however. .-

ConstantinopIe, Turkey After pro-
longed pourparlers and considerable
haggIing on the part Of the Turks, a
satisfactory solution Of the American
school question has been arrived at.
This matter, which is the most import
ant of the American demands, was set
tied by extending to American schools
the same treatment as that accorded to
schools under the protection OF other
powers. A settlement of other matters
affecting American interests in Tur-
key, of secondary importance, has also
been effected, and Minister Leishman
has telegraphed to Rear-Admiral jew
ell, in command ef the United States
squadron sent to Smyrna, instructing
him to salute the batteries on land and
depart.
The sitting Of the Council Of Minis
ters, at which the settlement was
agreed on, was a long one, and it was
not until near its close that an agree
ment was reached. The delay In the
settlement is believed to have been
caused by the intervention Of the pal
ace functionarles, whose policy, in Or
der to retain the Sultans favor, con-
sists in combating the rights and priv
ileges of foreign subjects.
