ENGINEERS ARE EMBOSSED.
Commercial Club Expresses Conf
GeEce in Their Methods.

The special meeting of the Com
mercial club held last evening was
for the purpose of discussing the sub
ject OF irrigation No one but men,
bers of the club were admitted. A
general discussion resulted, and the
work of the engineers of the recama-
ton department was spoken upon at
length by several who were present
The following resolutions were Of
fered, and were unanimously adopt
ed
Whereas, The engineers of the rec
lamation service of the federal gov
eminent have been and are investi-
eating the feasibility of various ir-
rigation projects in this state. with
out having reached definite conclu-
ion. and the matter of whether any
project shall be undertaken ana
works constructed in the state is still
a matter of doubt. and
Whereas, Various commercial
bodies throughout the state and in
dividuals who are directly interested
in some particular project or projects
have made efforts to influence the
engineers of the reclamation service
to take up such projects in line with
their direct interests apparently
without regard to the feasibility and
practicability of such projects as de-
termined by said engineers, and with
out regard to the appropriation of the
funds available for this purpose to
the best interests of the state and to
the best advantage.
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved by the
Yakima Commercial Club in general
meeting assembled, that we extend
to the reclamation service our cordial
and hearty support, believing that 1t
is the aim and intention of the men,
bers thereof to give to- Ary project
in the state full and far yconsidera-
ton and to render their decision on
the merits of each project under in
vestigation. both as to feasibility and
as most fully complying with the
reclamation act; that we deprecate
any interference with the work OF
the reclamation service now being
prosecuted in this state on the part
of the state authorities, interested in
dividuals and commercial bodies, and
with full faith and confidence In the
agents of the government engaged
in this important work, and in the
belief that they will not be infiu-
enced in this matter by public clamor
or by political considerations. we
submit the various projects in the
Yakima valley to the Judgment of
those who have been chosen to make
such decision on account OF their
technical qualifications and special
fitness to do SO.

SHE AIMED TO KILL
Mrs. Josephine Lille of Toppenish
Shoots at Her Former Husband.

Deputy Sheriff Edwards last Mon
day arrested Mrs. Josephine Lille
of Toppenish, who had attempted tc
shoot the man to whom she was once
married, Nevada Lille. 1t is not
her fault that she did not get him,
for she is said to have fired several
shots from revolver at him, at close
range. 1t is claimed that she did
the shooting in self-defense, and that
he was threatening to do her violence
with an ak. Mrs. Lille had no diff
Guilty in giving bond and securing
her release upon being brought to
this city.
The trouble arose over some land
and improvements thereon near Top
penish. Some time ago Lille began
suit for an accounting. claiming an
equity in the property in question. by
reason of improvements which he
had made thereon. On one plot of
ground Mrs. Lille was preparing to
erect house, and she alleges that
Lille jumped the claim" so to
speak, and took possession of the
land. In the dispute that followed,
she says, he threatened her and she,
believing that he intended to attack
her with an AK. drew her revolver
and began firing. Mr.. Lilies pres
ent wife appeared on the scene, and
she claims that one shot was fired at
her. the bullet going through her
dress.

CELEBRATION IS ASSURED.
Committees in Charge Last Year
VIII Handle Proposition Again.

There Is SO very little opposition to
a celebration OF Independence Day
that the motion may be said to have
been carried unanimously. Patriotic
motives alone have inspired most OF
the pledges Of support, as some who
will contribute most literally will
profit nothing from the increase in
business. There will be no lack of
funds to provide a celebration, and
the plans so far decided upon war
rant the statement that 1t will be
peach. There Is a small sum left
in the fund raised for last years
celebration, which will be available
for starter, and as much as the
committee on finance think neces-
sary can be raised without difficulty.
The merchants Of the city have
talked the matter over, and con-
cluded that no better plan could be
devised than the one which prevailed
last year. which placed the entire
work of getting up the celebration
and raising funds for the expenses in
the hands of one committee of bust
ness men. They were Furthermore
of the opinion that last years COM
mittee could not be improved upon.
and SO the matter was settled. This
committee was composed OF I. H.
Dills president. Georpe q Vapce
secretary; Fred Chandler. treasurer;
George Kohls was also member of
the committee.
The celebration having been decid-
ed upon, the committee hopes that
all assistance possible be given. They
will do their share. but success
cannot be made OF 1t unless the citi-
zens lend their support and aid. and
this should be forthcoming without
the request being necessary.

SUMMER NORMAL SCHOOL.
Third Annual Session Will Open on
the Bird Of July.

The third annual session OF the
Yakima summer normal school will
be opened on Monday. July 3rd, in
this city. The term will last for six
ers' examination In August. The
school will be under the supervision
and management Of County Superin-
tendent Dickey. with whom will be
associated Prof. w. F. F. Selleck and
Prof. s. McIlvanie. Neither of these
three instructors need introduction
or endorsement in Yakima county.
They are capable and experienced in
this line of work, which, while in
tended TO prepare the student for
teaching, will be so arranged in the
summer normal as to afford a careful
review in all the branches in which
teachers are required to pass the ex-
animation. Glasses may be formed
in branches not included in the regu-
lar course, upon the application of a
sufficient number to justify this de-
parture.
Talks on school law, school man
agement and theory and art Of teach
ing will be made special feature.
Competent teachers were never
more in demand than at the
present time. The best schools are
seeking teachers who have faithfully
prepared themselves for the work
while salaries are being very notably
increased. In fact. educators all
agree, there never has been time
when the prospects OF the teacher
were 80 encouraging. or the induce
ments to engage In this profession
were so great as at present, and Yak
ina county teachers are fortunate in
being able to attend at home during
the summer months school which
| will enable them to equip themselves
for higher positions and better sal,
aries.

WOMEN or INDIA Toll HARD.
Have to Share in Endless Struggle
for Existence With Men.

In the lower stratum or Hindu soci-
ury and ease that Is common among
the upper classes, says the Calcutta
Statesman. The great masses OF small
farmers, artisans and coolies earn
so meager a livelihood that their lives
are merely an endless struggle for
existence. in which their wives have
OF necessity TO do their share.
Not only Is this true in the domestic
affairs TO which the women must at
tend, but not infrequently they arc
called upon TO do the work or men.
upon occasions even hiring out to per
form various tasks, such as hauling
roller up steep incline. doing noun
tain road repairing work. The team
grasping the tugs fastened TO either
side of the huge heavy roller. drag II
along the steep mountain road. While
there workers perform their toilsome
task. oftentimes there are men stand
ing by who far various reasons may
not lend their assistance. One per-
haps is an overseer, another a water
seller-a trade in itself-while others
might be perfectly willing TO carry
hods, chop wood. or carry burdens
but haul a roller? Nay, nay! their
caste would forbid It!
A curious custom obtains among
the Coorgs. When one Of them kills
tiger or a panther, he is married
to the dead animal, regardless OF its
sex. Propped upon framework of
wood and bamboo, the animal is car
ried in procession and the marriage
ritual is strictly observed. while Law
ish hospitality is dispensed.

HIS IDEA OF A GENTLEMAN.
Cardinal Newman's Estimate Is Well
Worthy the Attention of All.


Cardinal Newman's definition Of
gentleman has probably never been
surpassed Here it is:
1t is almost the definition of a gen.
tleman TO say he Is one who never in
flicts pain. He has his eyes on all
his company; he is tender toward the
bashlul, gentle toward the distant and
morciful toward the absurd; he can
recollect TO whom he is speaking; he
guards against unreasonable illusions
or topics which may irritate; he is
seldom prominent in conversation and
lever wearisome.
He makes light of favCrs while he
does them and seems to be receiving
when he is comforting. He never
speaks of himself except when COM
PEELED, never defends himself by a
mere retort; he has no care for SIAN
der or gossip, is scrupulous in imput
ing motives TO those who interfere
With him and interprets everything
for the best. He is never mean or lit
tie in his disputes. never takes unfair
advantage, never mistakes PERSONAL
ties or sharp sayings for arguments
or insinuates evil which he dare not
say out.
