OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

John D. Rockefeller, Jr. recently
said in his Bible class: "In this life
of today, full of struggle and con-
test in the effort to get ahead, to
gain wealth power, influence or posi-
ton, the watchword seems to be:
Gain it honestly If you can, but gain
it, anyway" Coming from such an
authority, the statement should be
recognized.--West Coast Trade.
If college presidents and delicate
editors should decry the nastiness of
cigarettes as holly as they are urg-
ing the brutality of football, the
mortality in the schools and coll
leges would be more signally re-
duced. A football and all honest
pipe won't do one tenth the harm
that is being done the lad with the
yellow forefinger Rough athletics
will kill a man now and then, but
this is better than doping a whole
breed into prurient inanity. Vive the

AS the holiday season approaches,
says the Newport Miner, we notice
a great many people with a mail or
der house catalogues on their knees
and their necks stretched looking at
the wonderful bargains offered.
They read this book as good Chris
tian should read his bible, and send
their money to some mammoth con-
Germ expecting to get something for
a little of nothing. Now we are
aware that this subject is threadbare
But there is one thing that we be-
lieve and 1t is this, tickle the people
who tickle you, or In other words
spend your money where You earn 1t.
Don't earn your money here and go
away from home to expend it.
Put your money in circulation In the
community where you live; that is
what makes times good. II you can
not get what you want here tell the
home merchant and give him a
chance to get 1t for you. Be loyal.
Patronize the home merchants and

and Sunnyside drainage districts,
drainage districts Nos. Q and 3, re-
spectively, are attending the session
of the board of county commission

The Outlook drainage district COM
prises about seven miles of drains,
and the whole system has been put
in during the past season. The
Sunnyside district has twenty miles
of drains, most of which was also
constructed during the past season.
Mr.. f. j. Young is supervisor of the
Sunnyside district, and has general
charge of the construction work
Both drainage systems have outlets
in the Yakima river, and are now
carrying large volume of water.
The roads from Sunnyside to Nab
ton. both east and west, are thor
oughly drained. All of the surface
water, which formerly covered sew
eral hundred acres, between Mabton
and Sunnysde, has been drawn off,
and as result these lands are COM
ing under cultivation. The same is
true of the low lying lands north OF
Snipes mountain.
The conditions that needed reme-
dying in these districts arose from
the filling up of the low lying lands
by excess irrigation water. The wa
ter was prevented from seeping to-
ward the river fast enough to re-
leive the pressure by rims or forma-
ton of hardpan running across the
country from east to west. These
have been cut through in several
places by the drainage bitches.

MAKE GENEROUS OFFER.
Sunnysidc Men Show the Right Spir.

The interest and appreciation be-
ing shown by some Of those inter-
ested in the irrigation projects that
are proposed for this valley were H.
Illustrated when number of Sun
nyside farmers visited the irrigation
committee Tuesday morning and
made an unusual proposition to the
members of that body. The Sunny
side people represented the owners
Of a large amount Of land which Is
not irrigated at present, but which
will be under the proposed extern
sion of the Sunnyside canal in case
the government plans are followed.
While these men under the govern
ment plans will be entitled to one
cubic foot for every so acres that
they hold, they came to the commit
tee with a proposition that they
would gladly agree that they should
only receive foot for every 100

While 1t is very doubtful If the
government will accept this propos-
al, 1t certainly look very good to see
that these men are willing to go to
this extreme action, and 1t is Ger.
tainly setting a good example to
some OF the other land owners in
the county.
There have been no new develop
ments In the water situation in the
last twenty-four hours, but the com.
mittee is not relaxing its efforts in
any way. and will not give up until
the last day of the time allowed tc
complete the arrangements is up
The outlook at the present Is more
encouraging than it has been at any
time up to date, and 1t Is hoped that
the next two or three days will

earnest work which has been done
by the local committee, aided in a

CUT SHOW SHORT.
Haverly's Minstrels Treated Audience
Shabbily.

In the show given at the Yakima
theater Tuesday evening there was
one good feature-Marseilles, the
contortionist. His work was well
done, and 1t was excellently received
by large audience. The rest Of the
show was very mediocre, and lasted
exactly one hour and forty-five min
utes. Haverly's Minstrels will not
have the same sized house the next
time they visit the city-and they
should not have any at all. In or
der to have plenty of time to roam
around the streets before their train
came they cut every act short, and
when the curtain went down on the
final act, no one had any idea the
show was over, but stayed in their
seats expecting another act. This,
of, course, cannot be blamed on the
local management in any way, but it
is to be hoped that other audiences
on the route of this troupe will not
be treated to show ending at 9:45
and composed of the same class of
sketches that were given here. And
another thing the company merits
condemnation for is the advertising
of Billy Van and Fred P. Russell as
being in the organization. They are
not, and the attempt to travel on the
reps. Of these two real comedians
will not raise Haverly's in the esti-
nation of the public, to say the least.

Cyclists Feelings Were Hurt.

A funny cycling story comes from
the West of Ireland. A gentleman rid.
ing a motor cycle was going through
a village, when dog, the property Of
two old ladies, ran out and made IAN
unprovoked assault on him." but got
the worst of the encounter, though the
cyclist was thrown off and badly hurt.
The dog was carried to the residence
of It's owners, and in about half an
hour pathetic message came to the
cyclist, who had laid up at an inn in
the village: Tell the man with the
motor bicycle that the dog is dead. &"
The irate cyclist sent back the dlscour.
teous reply: Tell the ladies who
owned the dog that the motor cyclist
Is still living"

Chicago, June 2O.-No one can
60 into our schools or meet a
group Of children on the street
without noticing how large a number
OF them wear spectacles. The proper.
ton seems to increase yearly, and
there are many more who ought to
wear glasses. The experience of one
teacher might be duplicated by the
score. She knew Alice was inatten-
tive and she thought she was unusual.
ly stupid. She said SO to the principal
and sent a note to the mother, re.
Questlng that the child be helped at
home II she wished her to keep up
with her class. One day after black
board explanation, the teacher called
upon the child and found that she
had not seen what had been written.
She was kept after school and by dint
Of much sympathetic questioning Miss
c. found that Alice had never been
able to see what was put on the board
and that her head had ached so often
and so hard that she frequently failed
to hear what was said.
Such a condition may be caused by
lack OF proper food, but in our Ameri-
can homes II is usually due to the
poor quality OF the artificial light. The
yellow, insufficient light Of the ordI-
nary kerosene lamp, with its smoky
chimney, is about as bad for the eyes
as can be imagined. The pickering
light from a coal gas Jet is but little
better, and even the electric light,
brilliant as It usually Is, has an uh-
steadiness due to variations In power,
and a glare peculiarly trying TO the
delicate nerves OF sight. The compar.
atively new illuminant acetylene gas
produces as nearly perfect an artificial
light as has yet been found. 1t gives
clear white, unwavering light, very
brilliant yet perfectly soft, and so
nearly like the rays Of the sun that
even colors appear as In daylight.
Fortunately, acetylene is very easily
and cheaply produced, and the simple
apparatus necessary can be purchased
and installed in any home at a very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be piped to convenient points in the
house where a light is needed. II Is
then lighted and extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylere Is rapidly coming into
common use in homes. churches,
schools and institutions Of all kinds,
and II Is reasonable to expect that as
its use in the home increases, there
will be fewer defective eyes, particu-
larly among children Poor eyesight
and the many Ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use Of this new illumlnant.
