\ Paving Letter From Boston.

Boston, Mass, March 81, 1906.
Editor Yakima Herald. | have
been very much interested in read
ing the Yakima Herald to see the agi-
tation regarding pavements, and at.
ter spending whole day in looking
over the streets of this city would
like to add my little say.
Asphalt. besides not wearing well.
is so slippery in wet or freezing
weather that it is positively danger
Gus. | have seen on street near
my office as many as six horses down
at once, within a distance of two
blocks.
Brick is undoubtedly a good wear
ing pavement if proper brick is used
but ii is also slippery, though not
quite so bad in this respect as as
phalt. Its greatest objection is its
noisiness. A heavy load on this
pavement makes a frightful racket.
and If the street is crowded the noise
is deafening.

there is no immediate possibility OF
their doing so. 1t is said that the
erection Of a building of only one
story and the almost entire steel con-
struction of It. indicates that they
will endeavor TO negotiate long
time lease with the North Coast
road or make such plans as will en-
able them to remove the building

HAYSEEDS TO THE FRONT.
They Are Now i'm the First Place,
with Total of 5000.

The grand total is 5000, sub
scribed to the Y. NJ. c. A. building
fund. The Skyrockets have held
the second place for several days,
but the Hayseeds made leap. scat
tered seed in the Rockets eyes and
gained second place Monday. They
stand a chance of getting their full
amount tomorrow.
The standing of the teams is now

be Sighted. The young men expect
to reach every one in these four days

PROSSER FIVE
YAKIMA FOUR
TWELVE INNING GAME TO OPEN
Coins Pitching the Feature of the
Game. Although "SIats" Tay-
Tor Did Good Work.
VALLEY LEAGUE STANDING.

Five 10 four in favor of Prosser at
the end of twelve-inning game.
This is the record of the first ball
game of the season in the Valley
league. Granger beat Mabton to 6
in a ten-inning game. Two mighty
good scores for the opening of the
season.
The Elks made good by virtue Of a
good twirler and sympathetic UNI
pire. The Tigers went after the Elks
for total of twelve clean hits against
only six made by the Prosser boys,
and still they could not win.
The Tigers held things their own
way up to the beginning of the sew
enth, with two runs to their credit,
scored in the first inning. Then came
the Elks with their strong arm bat
tiers and plunked out couple of
runs in the seventh and eighth in
nings, which would have tied the
score had not the Tigers hit 'er up
which tied the score.
Everything went down from that
time on in one, two, three order, un-
til the twelfth inning, when O'Rourke
beat the sphere out for two-bagger
scoring the winning run on Coins
safe hit. The Tigers came to bat in
the last half of the twelfth with fire
in their eyes, but went down in quick
succession in front of Coins, who
pitched the entire game for Prosser.
Stats Taylor did excellent work
for the first five innings, and not hit
or pass or dead ball was regis
tered against him. Coins work was
the feature of the game. He famed
sixteen Tigers and pitched the en-
tire game. Taylor was sent to the
bench at the end of the fifth, and Mel
son was given try-out.
1t was an ideal day for a game,
and the usually enthusiastic crowd of
Prosser fans was on hand to root for
the home team. Next Sunday the
Elks will play the Tigers in this city.
The score follows:

The Herald is printing columns Of

The last issue Of the Yakima DEM
ocrat is allied with the Herald in
boosting the celebration, although
Editor Medill is one of the few wno
wish the matter postponed until the
Fourth Of July. Mr.. Medill also mis-
quotes the tenor of sentiment as about
evenly divided between celebrating
now and waiting while. The total
vote, as printed in the Herald last
Wednesday morning, totalled 143. OF
these, "A favored immediate do

Give and Take.
North Yakima, April

Editor Herald: Noticing a COM
munication to the Republic that
some people were complaining of the
reckless driving of motor cars on
country roads, l would like to say a
few words on the subject in defense
of motor car owners.
First of all, the motor car has
come here to stay; they will multi
ply in number greatly every year
and cannot be considered or looked
upon as toys. The sooner the horse
man makes up his mind to meet the
motor car half way, it will be better
for both parties.
The writer makes a 44-mile trip
up the Matches and return every 9TH
er day, and receives courteous
treatment from a goodly number of
horsemen on the way-and gives
courteous treatment in return; but
yet, there are a number of people
with whom one meets who think that
a motor car has no right on the road
at all: they are not backward in
showing their resentment. They will
do all in their power to annoy the
motor car man. There are laws to
protect the horseman and also (don't
overlook this) the motor car man.
If the motor car man just merely
obeys these laws, 1t would be very
unpleasant for some horsemen; so
let us all get together in the right
spirit, treat one another at least po-
litely. and in the end both parties
will be far better OF.
A few hints might help the horse
man. II you hear the horn behind
you, don't think the motor man is or
dering you OF the track, because he
only wants you to gather your lines
together and get your horse in hand,
giving him (the motor MANI as much
of the track as you can.
If you see a motor coming towards
you, and you want the vehicle to
stop. just hold up your hand, and
motor man will comply.
II your horses rear and plunge
when the motor car passes you, don't
swear at the motor car driver until
you are black In the face.
If you get chance to take your
horses up to car that is at rest, and
get them acquainted. and at the same
time get acquainted with the driver
Of the car. you will find he is not a
bad sort.

Enlarge School Facilities.

The board of directors of school
district No. Z, at a meeting Monday
night, made arrangements for leas-
ing the old Methodist church, corner
of South Third and Chestnut streets,
for school purposes for the coming
school year.
This is regarded as wise move on
the part of the board. 1t is evident
that more rooms will be needed, and
iat the present time it is difficult for
anyone to say just where. The
old church will make three or four
fine school rooms, is centrally located
and will take care of the surplus
children until new and permanent
facilities can be provided.

SALOON BUILDING STARTS
Brewing Company in Earnest, but Q
bit Conservative Nevertheless.

Work on the foundation Of the
Selah street saloon building was COM
menced Tuesday morning. The ex-
cavation has already been done and
the laying OF the foundation will be
the next thing in order. Architect
Nash has drawn the plans and says
that the building as now planned will
cost about $4,000.
The structure is being erected by
the Yakima Brewing company and
the plans that were originally made
have been considerably altered. The
first plan was to build Of stone but
this has been changed. 1t was also
planned to build a two or three story
building, but the Indebtedness Of
of their lease on the land, owing to
the pending of the condemnation
suit brought by the North Coast
road has caused the brewery people
to make some changes.
While It is true that the plans are
being made fox-the ultimate erection
OF two or three story building,

Gle ELUM JOINS
IN WITH YAKIMA
CELEBRATION CIRCUIT COMPLETE
Okonogan Project Enthusiasts Ready
to Spring Irrigation JOllifica-
cation Right Away.

1t is really quite surprising and
equally as interesting to note the en-
thusiasm that is being developed
throughout the valley in favor of a
celebration. The interest mas spread
beyond the Yakima valley as far as
Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane. They
are all watching for the big event,
and will send representatives to this
city when it has been decided when
and what kind of a celebration to
have.
Perhaps the most entertaining
feature of a celebration is the fact
that the people living under the
Okanogan project have already taken
the hint, and are about to make
plans for a celebration, so as to
spring it when the first news of their
success reaches them. The follow
ing from the Spokane Chronicle tells
the story:
alma, Wash, April 4.-The Alma
Improvement club has taken steps
to agitate gigantic celebration of
the Inauguration of the Okanogan
irrigation project, and the result
may be looked for in the near fu-
ture."
If the Okanogon people are getting
busy on the mere prospect of getting
their project approved, how much
more justified is the Yakima valley
in planning a greater celebration of
the grandest gift that has ever been
the lot of our people before this time.
If there ever was any question
about the loyalty of the people of
Gle Elum to the Yakima valley, it is
dispelled by the action of Mayor Ker-
men in the appointment of the dele
gates to meet with our representa-
tives as soon as possible to complete
the arrangements. The following
letter from Gle Elum explains itself.
April z, 1906.

a celebration of the acquiring by the
government of the water rights sur
ficient to control irrigation in the
Yakima valley.
Mr.. Miller and the writer will be
thankful for any information you
may be able to give them relative to
the matter and as to what may be ex-
pected of them as such committee.
The most convenient time for us

Alice in Wolld erland.

Nicholas Longworth, safely back in
congress, says he will not leave the
house again until he is married. The
sbanzais' Of the newsboys and dress
makers of Greater New York filled him
with visions of the French revolution.
He could picture to himself such mob
in different mood, and imagine how
it looked to Marie Antoinette and Louis
when their constituents came out to
Versailles and brought them back to
Paris in an open dray. 49,
A mob is a fearful thing whether it
just wants to- jolly you or drink your
blood. That which followed Miss Roose-
welt in New York was largely composed
of dressmakers, but that1did not reduce
the seriousness Of the situation. 1T
it had been composed of stockholders
short on a rising stock it could not have
been more in earnest. ..-
Miss Roosevelt and Mr.. Longworth
will Just have to stand it for a while.
They are bearing It patiently and we'll
and the: great American people are 60

long run Of their lives, which every.
body hopes and believes will be happy
for having refused to seclude them
selves or take on any airs which do not
belong to a democracy. 49,. = ~

Safer. Not Faster,

Motor-car tests continue to turn upon
the question of speed. At Ormond
beach Ia car was driven over a two
mile course with a flying start--in
So 4-5 seconds. Another made the dis
lance in d second more. These were
freak results on a carefully prepared
course. They would be impossible upon
ordinary roads with curves and grades.
The game of speed is a dangerous. one,
and as yet it contributes as little as
the six day endurance races did to the
value of the bicycle.
The problem before the builders of
automobiles is not the one of speed,
but Of safety. To strengthen the ma
chine so that it will give a desirable
speed over ordinary roads without too
great susceptibility to accident is to
do more for automobiling than to make
a cigar shaped monstrosity in which q
goggled individual. with only his nose
visible to the world, shall do a mile II
half minute. But speed tests bring
more people to look at the machines
than safety tests, and, therefore they
will continue to be the feature of ex
hibitions patronized by manufacturers
The problem of speed, if speed i
what is wanted, has been solved II
Germany, where trains have beer
driven at 100 miles an hour by electro
power. Steam engines have pulled
trains in this country at ninety mile
an hour; but when people travel the,
try to make sure they are not on tina
kind of train.
Unquestionably the motor car ha
come to stay, but speed tests and vic
lent deaths in over driven cars do moth
ing to bring it into, more general use
They serve rather to retard its ador
ton by the conservative portion OF tn
community, which, having many thing
to live for, prefers a long life to
quick passage. ~s-... +. :.

Insurance Conferences.

Apparently with good reason assum-
ing that the federal government will
not attempt to take, over the control
and supervision Of insurance compa-
MES, the states are moving in the mat
ter themselves. A short. time ago a.
meeting of insurance commissioners
was held in Washington and now there
is conference Of governors and other
state representatives in Chicago, pre-
sided over by the governor Of Mime
sofa. This conference is studying the
insurance problem with view to put
ting forth some sort Of bill which
may be agreed upon by all the states
as the basis of uniform legislation.
b The attempt to obtain uniform state
laws on insurance or any other subject
ness the slow progress toward uniform
marriage and divorce statutes and the
seeming impossibility Of obtaining even
fairly uniform laws regarding bank
ruptcy. The federal government solved
this problem for the states, but it prob
ably cannot solve the insurance prob
lem. Gr
The basis of uniform insurance laws,
however, so far as the old-line compa-
MES is concerned, is not hard to find.
It lies in the limitation of companies
as to Investments Of trust funds, the
assumption Of a liability annually for
the undistributed surplus called divi-
dends. These, with publicity of all
expenditures of whatsoever nature
would protect the public against the
| major abuses which have been Elk.
posed in the New York companies.
The companies will no doubt try tc
get their representatives into these
conferences and doubtless they will be
around trying to shape legislation
whenever the legislation may take ur
these questions. Already in the Chi
Ecago conference a man has arisen tt
put forward the humorous proposition
/ that policyholders prefer the deferred
dividend contract is to say, the.
! prefer a future distribution that look
