The Springdale news., 1906-12-21

The year that is just drawing to a close will probably long be remembered as one of the most prosperous in the history of Springdale and surrounding country. Old Nineteen Hundred and Six has naturally brought sorrow to some, but as q whole he has dealt very kindly with the people of this section, and there are very few of Us, as We stop and look back over the events of the past twelve months, but who can find many things for which to be thankful. And. while we look to the new year with hope, there is some sadness as we bid the old year adieu.
 Crops of all kinds have been good the past year, beginning with the strawberries in May, and extending on down through the months to wheat, corn and apples. The yield of the latter has been especially good, and while the prices were not so good as we would all like to have seen, nevertheless the big red apple has brought thousands of dollars into the community, and people of all classes the merchant, the mechanic, the professional man, and the day laborer-have been benefited thereby. More farm- CTS and fruit growers have bank deposits to-day than ever before, and when those who till the soil are prosperous the people of the town naturally share in this pros perity.

1O@ton itd oe Nil oue thc DIE Red apple is Queen, and Spring dale k her home.
 In other lines of business Springdale has done equally well. For twelve months ending No- vember 10, there were shipped from here 150 cars of cattle, hogs and sheep, 15 cars of mules and horses. II cars Of hardwood lum- Der, =, 700 pounds of poultry and 5,94h cases of eggs. For the same period of time the dry goods and grocery stores have done a business Of S21o. sos. The post office receipts were s, ,623, an eN- cess of $500 over the previous year. which Is, of itself, an eyi- dence of the growth of business here.
 For tile twelve months ending November 10 there were received 10l cars of lumber, l21 cars of merchandise, l7S cars miscellane- ous, and l5 cars of immigrants and moYables The cars of emi- grants and mevables that went out for the same period of time were |.
 While the year now nearing d close has been q prosperous cue for Springdale, 1t is confidently believed that even still greater things are in store for the town and country during the coming year. The people are awakins to the necessity of united effort Tn behalf of the town and good results are bound to follow. Among the possibilities for 1907 are new railroad, cold storage and Ice plant and electric lights. We may not secure all these en- terprlses within that time, but The News will risk its reputation as prophet that we will get at least one or more of them.

During the past year there has been erected i'll Sprlngdale eleven business houses, eight of brick and three of concrete blocks.
 While some are small others are more pretent'ous, and one es- pecially is building of which any town might be proud. A number of residences have been built and improvements and addi- tions made, and more cement sidewalk has been built the past year than in any previous year

Symbols in Olden Times

TN olden times there was a sign represent
ing a hare and three women. This device
was supposed to Indicate that trade in the
shop was performed with swiftnesS and great
carefulness.
Then there was another sign on which was
painted in gaudy colors a paddock and an
anchor. The significance of this was that the
goods sold in the establishment were firm and
substantial in quality and that the trader
hoped for future patronage.
Probably the reason for SO many inhar-
monious signs was that though every trade had
a given or fixed sign the trader often added to
the regulation form some design or original
idea of his own.
Many of the old signs were painted by great
artists. who received large sums for their
services, and when a man was thinking of
opening business the first consideration and
expense recHoned was that of his sign board.

unab to provide for the marriage OF ms three
daughters. The news of his sad plight came to
the ears of the sanity Bishop, who Immediately
came to the rescue by placing three bags OF
gold in the nobleman's window at night, each
maiden. The three purses accordingly be-
came the emblem of Saint Nicholas, and when
the bankers of Northern Italy took up the
business of lending money, they appropriated
it, evidently considering themselves good tol-
lowers of the generous saint.
The fact. however, seems to be that the
three balls were taken from the lower part of
the coat of arms of the Dukes of Medicl, from
whose dominions the first money lenders
emigrated to England. This explains why
some of the ancient pawnbrOkers used tve
blue balls: for the coat OF arms IN heraldlc

The Tobacconist's Effigy

ONE of the most peculiar things in the whole
~ history of signs Is the fact. that while all
other shopkeepers were Patronizing the en-
bryo painters. the tobacconist always called
upon the wood carver on the Continent as we'll
as in England. AS long ago as Elizabeth's
reign the wooden image of the Black Boy was
the favorite sign of the tobacco dealers. Later
the customary sign was the Highlander. or a
figure of Sir Walter Raleigh.
In Holland, for some strange reason, the
tobacconists adopted the dairy maid their
sign, with the motto, Consolation for suck
lings." The Indian, naturally enough. has
always been the predominant sign in this
country, although once in awhile a reverson
to type crops out with the ancient Black Boy.

How the Barber Got His Sign

THE striped barber pole originated in Eng
land in the Middle Ages. when the .profes-
sions of the surgeon and the tonsorial artist
were one. Phlebotomy was then considered
cure for every i'll.
During the operation, the unfortunate pa
tient had to grasp pole firmly in his hand, that
the blood might flow more freely. This pole
was usually painted red. and to it were at
tached the white bandages which the barber
surgeon, or the surgeon barber, used to stop
the blood. When not in the pole was sus-
pended outside the shop, sometime capped
with basin. to inform wounded travellers
where they might obtain relief.
The practice was made permanent finally
by law. and even after the professions became
separate, both the barber and the surgeon had
to erect the poles outside their establishments.

RIVAL TOWNS ON THE NORTH
COAST.

The North Coast surveyors who
are cross-sectioning and locating
line will reach KenneWick this
week SO we are informed by enc of
the transfers with the party. So
far as the locating survey is known
Granger and Nnrth Yakima are
the only towns in the Yakima val
ley which the "mysterious stranger
in railway circles" is going
to strike. The promoters are
said to be figuring on a new town
site OH the Yakima Indian reserva-
ton to match Toppenish. This is
known because the matter of secur-
ing a townsi,e on the reservation
must be taken up with the Wash
ington authorities. The North
Coast will have rivals on its line
for several Of the older places.
Between Sunnyside ard Pros>er
will be the new town of Fairview.
W'apato ard Toppenish will have
opposition in their territory. In
the valley of the Columbia it is
certainty that the location will be
through Kennew lex.
