About Public Documents.

The government sends out every
month list of it's publications of an
agricultural nature, some of which
are free and others obtainable on
payment of few cents. Many of
these are on subjects of considerable
interest; but il you send in your
dime you are likely to get it back,
with a note saying that they are al
ready out of what you want. A
truitvale rancher got mad when this
happened to him the second time
this spring, and wrote letter, to
which he received the following re-
ply, which will be of interest to
those who have had the same expert
ence:
II appreciate your remarks rela-
tive to keeping an ample stock on
hand of government documents for
sale. Under the law providing for
the sale of public documents, this
office is supplied with a limited num-
Der of all issues, and, under a pub
lie resolution of congress, approved
a reprint for publication for which
there is an unusual demand. There
are many restrictions upon reprint
ing documents, however, and this
office cannot nave them printed at
will as private establishment
could. In the majority of cases the
demand is not sufficient to warrant
me in ordering a reprint. In some
cases where the plates have been de-
stroyed / cannot order reprints at
all. simply do the best l can
under the circumstances.
Money sent for documents not in
stock is usually returned, especially
il it is uncertain when a supply will
be received. A note of the want"
is made, however, and If the docu-
ment is received the party is notified.
1.-THE matter of supplying docu-
ments to the people by sale is in its
infancy. and it will require time to
remedy defects in the printing laws,
which only actual experience will de-
velOp. Ten years ago documents
were neither sold nor given away ex-
cept by the favor of a senator or
representative No catalogues
were printed. and the people had no
means of ascertaining what was be-
ing printed by the government. Now
complete catalogues are printed and
sent to all important libraries in the
country. and price lists of all docu-
ments available for sale are printed
and sent free to anybody who APP
plies. SO you see some progress Is
being made. In fact, in respect to
catalogues we are far ahead of any
country in the world, as we also are
in the quality and quantity of
printed matter issued"

Washington State Fair.

Now that the glorious indie
pendence Day has been appropriate
ly, enthusiastically, observed all over
our fair state, and county division is
settled to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned, let us turn our attention to
another important event, the state
fair. The railroad disadvantages
that Sunnyside has had to contend
with for so many years has made her
seemingly Indifferent to the great ad-
vantages and honor conferred by the
location of so important an institu-
ton as the state fair at her county
seat. But this obstacle will soon be
obviated by the building of rail-
road through the Sunnyside dis
trict. And could the main line be
finished as far as Sunnyside by the
LIST of October and Yakima have her
streetcar line running out to the fair
grounds. there is no reason why
there should not be a large attend
ance from this lower country. We
owe it to ourselves to do all we can
to sustain the Yakima county reputa-
ton, and to give the fair all the as
sistance we can by attending and pro-
viding creditable exhibit of the
wonderful production of our country,
and we hope to see among the art
exhibits some specimens of the han
diwork of the Sunnyside and Zilah
ladies. The ladies of North Yakima
sustain splendid record for fine
display in the art department, and

Last winter Topeka society wom-
an wanted to get rid of an old par
rot which she owned, says the Kan
sas City Journal. 1t had only one
tail feather, but possessed an ex-
treme vocabulary of choice cuss-
words. A bright idea struck her.
She was hostess for her card club
one day and she gave the parrot as
the BOBBY prize. The woman who
won 1t took it home and bided her
time. 1t soon came her time to en-
terrain the club and furnish prizes.
So she gave the parrot as the BOBBY
prize. too. From that time the par
rot became the BOBBY prize and made
the rounds of most of the homes of
the women. Finally the woman who
originated the idea won the BOBBY
prize the other day and carried
home the old bird. The parrot
recognized his former home. He
craned his neck, blinked his eyes sew
eral times, and then, with disgust,
said: "Oh, HI; kitchen as dirty as
ever!"

their well-known devotion to the fair
interests has been most commend
able, and now that we are to have
a new, roomy and artistic building,
specially devoted to art, will be an
added stimulant to the ladies' who
nave contributed SO much heretofore
to the success of this department.
Every county in the state should
be represented in this beautiful hall
and the ladies be able to make this
a banner year in the history of the
fair as a token of appreciation for
the fine new building in which to dis
play their work. And If one is
planning for an outing, no finer
camping grounds can be found in the
state than is provided absolutely free
by the fair commissioners in their
beautiful grove on the fair grounds.
The premium list is now ready for
circulation and can be had on appli-
cation by addressing z. Y. Coleman,

Voice Of
the People
Objects to Asphalt Paving.


Editor Herald:
Some of the residents on North
Natchez avenue, this city, are very
much exercised over the proposition,
which they understand the city
council are considering, to grade and
cover with asphalt Natchez avenue
from one end to the other. About
all they know about the matter is
what they have read in the city
papers. Many are working men
and when night comes are too tired
to go down town and learn the news.
and have no time during working
hours to lay Off and look up the
records of the city and thus ascer-
tain what is about to be done. These
citizens, however, do know some
thing about the actual cost OF such
contemplated improvement from
actual experience, and II 1t is intend
ed to asphalt the whole of the ave-
nue., they realize that all and each
of them will be stuck about $500 for
every fifty-foot lot they or any of
them own on the avenue. This
amount of money to the average
laboring man in this city, means a
confscation of his home, for but few
of us, after the paying of living ex-
penses for the family, taxes, doc
tors bills and other necessary ex-
penses have any $500 to donate for
the luxury of asphalt pavements.
There are many wealthy citizens liv-
ing on the avenue between the three
Or four blocks north and south of
Yakima avenue, who are abundantly
able to revel in the luxury Of asphalt
sidewalks and streets; II they desire
such costly improvements in front
of their mansions their poorer
neighbors have no objections, but we
insist that it is not right for them to
impose any such burden upon citi-
zens who think as much of the city
as they do and whose only fault is,
that they are not blessed with long
bank account and have to work for
a living.
Again the school district would be
obliged to put up a large amount
which at the present time 1t can Ill
afford. A conservative estimate
would place the cost to the district
at not less than $4,000, which with
the present need of more school
buildings and more teachers, would
look like a piece of extravaganza. as
well as being an additional burden
upon the taxpayers who foot the
bills.
Our city is indeed beautiful one
and we must keep it so. but it is
poor financiering to say the least to
make improvements for the sake Of
identifying our streets when we can
not afford to do so without inflicting
unca.lea for burdens upon the labor
inc mon and tho taynayarc Ra-
specially yours,
