Flats Filled In.

Flats Filled In.
In deepening the channel a considera BILE
area of the flats in front of the st. Eliza
beth's Insane Asylum grounds raised
by the mud that was dug from the bot
tom of the branch. The reclaimed area
will amount in all to about 100 acres, and
1t is now raised about two feet above the
average high tide. In order to reclaim this
area it was necessary to build an embank-
ment all around it, and this was done by
first digging a trench, then filling it with
stone and on the top of the stone the earth
en- embankments were built. In some
places along this earthen wall 1t was nee
essary to drive piling and build a regular
fence, the soft bottom of the branch not
being able to sustain the weight of the en-
bankment until it was supported by the
fence.
The building of these entertainments was
started over two years ago. scoop dredge
of the Sanford & Brooks Company having
started the work early in February, 1903.
and shortly afterward a second scoop
dredge came here and was employed on
the work. The suction dredge Dewey
started pumping the mud from the bottom
Of the branch at its junction with the Po-
tomac about the middle of June, 1903, and
has been continuously at the work since
that time. The material pumped from the
bottom of the channels was forced through
long lines of piping upon the land to be
reclaimed, and although the undertaking
was extensive one, it has finally been
accomplished. and much benefit to the city
will be derived from 1t.
Question Of Ownership.
The fact that much of the land lying
along the southern shore of the Eastern
branch is owned by private parties has
tended to prevent any large reclamation of
the fiat area, owing to the doubt, even after
the general government had spent large
sum of money on the raising of these lands,
as to in whom the title of this reclaimed
land would vest Col. Allen, in a report
made short time before his DEATH recon-
mended the condemnation and purchase of
the land lying along the southern bank of
the Anacostia river, in order to settle all
question of riparian rights and the owner
ship of the reclaimed land before any
further filling in was done.
Many thousand yards of material. has
been taken from the bottom of the Eastern
branch channel In the past two years, and
the benefits to be derived from the i'm
provement of the waterway cannot be esti-
mated at this time, but the Eastern branch
offers the only solution to the question of
wharf room for the marine business of the
city. The harbor proper is now very much
crowded and the wharfage facilities are
very unsatisfactory. With deep water the
Eastern branch could be made the ideal
location for the big lumber wood and ice
business of the city, and 1t is only a uues-
ton OF time before much of this business
Will be transferred to that portion of
WaShlngtOnS water front

MEMORIAL DAY.

The people observe Memorial
Day as, by common acce 5tation, it
is the anniversary of the nations
new birth: of the struggle from
which the republic emerged, not a
confederacy bound together by "a
rope of sand" but unified, solid,
compact nation with but one law,
one allegiance, one flag. 1t Is fitting
that we should observe such a day
and more fitting that we should
honor the heroes who have made the
observance of the day possibility
There are but few left. All cheer
them as they go limping by, escorted
by the "boys in blue" and still able
to keep step to the strains of martial
music. 1t is well, also, to remember
that other younger, greater, Grand
Army of the Republic, that, six mil
lion strong, is being annually turned
out from the drill ground of the ma
tion--the common schools of the
1and--to recruit the ranks of Ameri-
can citizenship. 1t may happen. in
coming time, that grave responsible
ties will be thrust on them. Ours
the duty to Lave them ready, when
the test comes. that like their for
bears all the the honors of patriotism
-nev be theirs. on account Of duty
we'll, gloriOusiy executed.

Will he Watched With Interest.

1t has been decided to oil the road
between the city and the entrance to
the state fair grounds, the county
commissioners. the city council and
the state fair commissioners each
agreeing to donate $400 toward the
total of $1,000 necessary to defray
the expenses of doing the work
thoroughly. Frank Reese, who has
improved and oiled North Second
street, will undertake the work,
which will be the first test made on
a similar road in the state In all
probability several streets in the city
will be treated in the same manner.
II 1t proves a success, the added
pleasure and comfort to the visitors
of the fair this fall will be great
The method of treating the roads is
identical with that in common use
IN many parts of California. where
the soil is similar to that of Yakima,
and there Is every reason to believe
it will be an unqualified success.

THE HIGH SCHOOL ALL RIGHT.

The report Of the state board of
high school examiners has just been
received by the board. 1t is very
full document, goes quite into the
detail of matters as ascertained after
three days careful inspection. 1t
speaks very highly Of the school and
pronounces the discipline excellent.
North Yakima high school is now on
the state accredited list as mat
ter of right and not by courtesy. The
report IS quite euiogistic of the in
structOrs and of the board of d.
rectors: and the taxpayers of the
district have right to be proud that
our schools are now making such a
creditable showing, and desire it kept
up and improved upon.

be curative serum for ty-

be a curative serum for ty
phoid fever. Dr. Stokes and
DR.. Fulton have tried the serum they
have made in 20 human cases of ty-
phoid. There were two deaths and
among the 81 cases ending in re-
covery, there were Il in which they
considered that the favorable result
was due to the serum. The two
deaths were due to complications
separate from the original disease.
In both of these cases the injection
of the serum caused an appreciate
drop in the temperature. Six cases
out of the 23 showed no response
whatever to the serum. The conclu-
sion reached is that by the use of
this serum the febrile period may be

may be favorably modified.

There was some good playing in
the ball game last Sunday, but it
was done by the Yakima club. Wit
ness the score: North Yakima %.
Prosser 9. 1t might have been even
more one-sided, but what's the use?
The boys from the seaport town Of
Prosser are a nice, gentlemanly
crowd, almost ladylike, when 1t
comes to playing the national game,
but they should ginger up. when they
come up here to be played with.
Miller, a new man, was put In to
pitch for the home team in the third
inning. Another new one was
RAM, who showed up we'll out in the
center field. Both made good, and
the general opinion of the fans is
that their coming in will strengthen
the team materially. Eight and a
half innings were played, just to
give the spectators a run for their
money. The following is the result:

CLOSE OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

After commencement exercises
in the opera house on Friday the
public schools of district No. close
for the year 1905. Take 1t all in
all, it has been a most successful
school year. Under the rigid super
vision of Superintendent Selleck, the
grade and morale of all the schools
has been raised. The pupils and
teachers have been held right down
to their work for the full term.
1t has been a case of real educa-
tional work, al the year through.
True, there have been a few cases of
friction. but not more than was to be
expected when discipline, regulation
and law have been insisted upon.
We ourselves have to submit to
law. and our children are no excep-
lions. The will of the few must
yield to the necessities of the many.
The common schools of the district
now enumerate over two Thousand
pupils and require some fifty odd
teachers. These have to be man
aged and controlled, as whole,
after a well conceived and pre-ar-
ranged plan. Mr.. Selleck, the city
superintendent, excels in this depart
ment of his profession and the board
are to be congratulated on being able
to retain him for another school
year.
There will not be many changes
in the personnel of the corps of
teachers. Mr. Mcclure going east
to pursue his medical studies, makes
a change necessary at the Central.
He has made fine record and car
ries with him the regard of the whole
community Miss Needs of the Co
lumbia will occupy his principalship
and her place at the Columbia will be
well filled by Miss Koontz. Mr..
Willete will probably retain his old
place as principal Of the Summit
View. The high school will con-
tinue under the able and efficient
charge of Mr.. Bever, with Miss
Brown as assistant principal; and
Mrs. Needham, one of our oldest and
best teachers, will take charge of the
new school on north NotcheI avenue.
The most of the old teachers will re-
main; as the board of directors ex-
press 1t, we have a most excellent
number of instructors and unless
they so desire 1t, for the purpose of
taking a needed rest, the ln ard have
no wish to make changes.

The holdings of hops by the grow
ers ic this county which for some
time have been estimated at about
5000 bales, have been lessened to
about 1000 by sales that have TAX
Ell place within the last few days.
The growers have stood together and
held out for a high price. but a few
finally weakened and sold at %
cents. Robert Dunn of Zillah sold
200 bales to Louis Lachman of
Salem, Oregon. for this price. and
Guy Grafton bought 102 bales at the
same price. These sales were
made on bearish market. which coast
dealers are said to have worked very
hard to bring about. and 1t is not
thought that they will have tend
ency to bring about other sales at
similar prices. at least for a time.
