LASSWELL BLOCK BURNED.
Fire Of Unknown Origin Ragged for
Five Hours Last Night.

The frame building OF two stories,
known as the Lasswell block, on West
Yakima avenue was badly scorched by
a fire that broke cut in the dry goods
and clothing store of Charles S. Stats
shortly after 8 O'Clock Tuesday evening.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but II
is the theory Of some that an overheated
stovepipe set fire to floor through
which it passed, or live wire coming in
contact with the woodwork.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stats were at the thea
ter when the fire broke out. Az they
were getting ready to leave the store
F. w. Schott stepped in for . moment
and accompanied them down the street.
Everything was all right at that time.
Half an hour later the building WAS .

heaviest loser, a. his stock Of goods will

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY.
THE NEW IRRIGATION CODE.

The Irrigation Commissioners have
drafted a code affecting the water rights
of the State and intend to submit the
same in the form of "bill' to be pass
upon by the Legislature so soon to con-
vene. There are none more interested
in the proposed measure than the inhab-
itants of this valley. Water is our very
life and sustenance. 1t is therefore pro-
posed that there be a series of meetings
held for the purpose of taking up the
proposed "code" and carefully, critically
fairly examing the same. This is a very
wise suggestion and will be of great val
tie to all irrigators, if properly carried
out. The proposed code should be taken
up section by section and discussed in OPP
en- meeting by our practical irrigators,
who if opportunity is given them, will
besure to see and discover the non-prac-
teal, faulty features of the code, if any
there are.
The Herald has read tine proposed mea
sure and in the main it seems to be a
very thoroughly prepared document. Vt
is a great departure from the present
system. such as we have affecting water
and water rights. The first reading gives
one the idea that theory has largely gov
erned the drafting of the measure more
than actual knowledge gained by prac-
tice in the fields; it seems as if the
Commissioners had followed out ideas
gained from other localities and sections,
without first inquiring if the conditions
were the same as obtain in this state.
A water law that is good for Arizona,
California or New Mexico might not fit
the climatic conditions Of Washington.
Every irrigable section, owing TO vary
ing conditions of climate, soil and source
Of supply, must largely be law unto
itself in the matter of irrigation. In
this respect water legislation occupies
a peculiar and unique position; what
will suit one district of our broad land
will not fit another. These things being
true, it behoOves us to move very cir
cumspectly in all matters appertaining
to or affecting our water supplies.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1905-01-04

and the stock through moving out about
800, covered by insurance. The candy
store conducted by Frank Clark was
scorched, but most of the stock was
moved out in time to save it; his loss
was small. The grocery stock in the
corner Of the building, formerly owned
by Frank Schott, who had disposed Of it
to L. B. Mckinney, was damaged to the
extent of several hundred dollars by
fire and water, but is fully covered by
insurance.
The Laswell lodging house, conducted
by Mrs. E. NJ. Harris. suffered heavy
loss, although there is $500 insurance.
The loss on the building amounts to
practically half its value. The structure
was built by Mr.. Laswell. 1t is stated
that he had contracted to sell it to Abe
Morrison, but the transfer had not yet
been made.
Mrs. Hess, proprietor of the West
avenue hotel, sustained a loss of several
hundred dollars through the breakage
to furniture, mirrors. dishes, etc., in
carrying them from the bui ding when
it was thought the fire would spread to
it.
The fire department did good work
under the trying circumstances, but the
fire was not entirely put out until after
I o'clock.

REVIVAL Is IN PROGRESS.
Presbyterian Church Being Crowded
Nightly, and Great Interest Man
ifested.

The evangelistic meetings at the Pres
byterian church are attracting large
crowds, the number increasing nightly,
and the interest and attention are very
gratifying. The speaker at these meet
ings is the Rev. Thomas II. Atkinson,
now working under the direction of the
Presbyterian general assembly's evan
gelistic committee, who is making his
first tour of the Pacific northwest. Rev.
Atkinson is forceful preacher, logical
and convincing His eloquence is pleas
ing, and he is strong expositor of the
Bible and Bible teachings. His dis
courses are beginning to have marked
effect, and in all probability the number
of conversions will be large. 1t is ex-
pected that ne will remain until the 18th
of this month and perhaps longer.

THE SPECIAL SCHOOL ELECTION

On Saturday next the voters of this
school district are to say by their votes
If they are in favor of furnishing the
school children of the district with suit
able and sufficient school rooms.
The board of directors have left moth
ing undone to apprise the citizens of the
necessity; they have called mass meet
ing and thereat plainly explained the
situation. The clerk of the district in in
terviews through the press has clearly
demonstrated the necessity and the cor
rectness of the plan proposed to alleviate
the existing congested conditions. 1t
now remains for the voters to do their
part next Saturday by good rousing
vote in favor of the bond issue. That
anyone will oppose the proposition seems
incredible, especially when it has been
made so plain and evident to all that
the contemplated improvements will not
add one single mill to the present tax
levy for school purposes in this district.
the plan suggested by the directors
is wise and far seeing one. No one
knows any better than they, that il
will be but very short time before the
whole of the Lincoln building will have
to be used exclusively as n high school;
hence the necessity of erecting a perma-
1ent grammar grade building on the
North Natchez lots, for future use in
the Leaning and Capitol additions, is
very sagacious measure, as with our
rapidly growing population, it will not
be long before large permanent school
houses will have to be supplied those
localities. In the meantime the Board
proposes to place the "portables" on
them and fix those structures up for the
little tads, those too small to travel
many blocks to school, particularly dur
ing the inclement seasons. The idea of
having manual training rooms in the
basement of the proposed new building
on the avenue, is truly progressive
measure and shows that the scnool man.
agement is up to date and that if the
taxpayers will properly sustain their
efforts, will give lis schools and educa-
tional facilities, not alone second to
none, but of the very best. Nothing is
too good for North Yakima.

new irrigation law, and for the

proposed new irrigation law, and for the
purpose of formulating suggestions, if
any are deemed necessary, to be made to
the county's representatives in the leg
islature covering changes in the meas
ure as drafted by the commission APP
pointed by Governor Mcbride. This
meeting is of great importance; the flu
turc of irrigation, not only in Yakima
county, but in the entire state may be
Influenced by it, and therefore every per-
son interested in tine welfare of the COM
munity, and its future progress, should
attend the meeting.
II. b. Scudder has procured a copy
of the measure as finally decided upon
by the commission and at his own ex-
pensc has had it printed in pamphlet
form and will distribute it generally.
This should be read carefully, and if a
suggestion can be made for strengthen
ing the law or improving upon tine work
of the commission, it should be done.

A crowd of men went from Selby, a
South Dakota town, to Bangor, a rival
town, one night last week, and took
down the county court house and re-
moved the structure to Sclby. 1t is said
the Bangor lie made no resistance.
Here is "A suggestion. OF course tine Her
aid would not care to see any violent
methods used in the disposition of the

tin, could come around almost any dark
night and take the historic relic now
doing duty for this county without a
protest. Of course this is only the opin-
ion of The Herald publicly expressed.
If there would be dissenting voice We
cannot at this time for the life of us
make out who it would be. 1t might be
surprise to some to wake up some
morning and see the old structure "hik-
ing" off toward Union Gap, retracing the
road traversed so many years ago, but
there would be few tears shed.

business manager of the Sacramento
