A YAKIMA SABBATH.

"Yakimas Sabbaths are restful."
This is short sentiment, but very
complimentary. 1t was expressed by
stranger visiting the city not long
ago II was suggestive. 1t started
series of reflections upon the fea-
lures of this city that could prompt
such a beautiful and kindly thought.
When you stop to think about it,
Yakima is a restful place on the Sab
bath day. The earliest morn is her
aided by the deep-toaed and mellow
peal Of the church bells. No matter
when or where they are heard, they
always reminds one of the days gone
by: and recollection of the old days
is restfui
Then again. to strangers eye the
scenery around Yakima is unusual
The blending of the blue Of the sky
with the green of the sward, with
the clarity of the atmosphere, all
makes toward peace and rest
Whea the weather is pleasant, It
is quite true that there is a restful-
ness about this place that those OF
US who never stop to think, little
learn to appreciate
II is good that Yakima is quiet ON
Sunday. It is as it should be. The
little city has much to experience In
the future. II It grows as Its friends
have predicted il will. it has a series
OF metropolitan trials to weather that
will test its stamina;--its backbone.

TIME TO CLEAN UP.

Right now is the time to clean up.
A great many places in this city are
unsightly. Back yards, front yards
and alleys in many places are in a
most unsightly condition. They
should De fixed up at once Left in
their present condition, they will in
all probability remain so during the
entire summer.
There is nothing under the sun
that makes a city look so uninviting
as ugly looking premises. They in
dictate shiftlessness and reduce the
value of property. You are not only
doing yourself an injustice, but are
assisting the depreciation of your
neighbours property as well. Ii you
have not enough regard for your own
welfare 10 clean up, at least remem-
Der that there are others about you
whose welfare will be damaged. If
that has no weight with you, then
perhaps you will have some regard
for the city in general.
At any rate, be generous. if you
DO find it difficult to be just.

disreputable characters who are en-

Yesterday two of this class arrived
in town and engaged rooms at one
of the frst-class rooming houses in

DOWIE AND VOLIVA.

Affairs in Zion City have developed
uation. An entire city, with all it's
many institutions, its public build
ings and it's officials has been by
one fell swoop transferred from John
Alexander Dowie to w. Glenn Voliva.
The legitimacy of the transfer is
a matter of small consequence, while
its spectacular features are enter
tanning.
To those who are familiar with the
situation, the transfer merely conveys
a title without offering any material
change in the condition of affairs at
Zion. 1t is a conveyance from one
fakir to another. Creditors have ap-
proved the change upon the basis
that ma rers could be but little, If
any, worse, and they would gamble
on the chance of its being slightly
better.
1t would have been we'll for credi-
tors of the community city to have in
quired we'll into the record of the
pretender before approving his as
sumption of such an important po-
sition.
He is a vacillating character, with
out business experience, limb OF a
family, one branch of which has
criminal record and reputed to be
CRATER of the first water. True, he
has transferred assets to the value
of $40 100000 to Deacon Granger,
but Granger is typical of the other
deacons who are in the executive
council of the new Elijah" He is
munity property, not in trust for the
people OF Zion City, but in trust for
Voliva.
There is very strong possibility
that the entire holdings of voliva
will be taken from him, all title
wrested from Dowie and Granger
and the immense sum be placed in
charge of a bonded institution of re-
sponsibility, in trust for the whole
people. The reason for this state
ment is based upon a supreme court
decision in the state of Illinois, hand
ed down few years ago, which
wrested the one man control from
the small city of Pullman, Illinois,
which was manipulated in much the
same manner as Zion City has been.
by the late George NJ. Pullman.
1t is not known that steps to this
end have been or will be taken, but
the conditions are similar.
1t is eminently right and proper
that the people of the much abused
little city should come into the right
full possession of the city their in
dustry has made possible.

of the states demand was first ques-
toned? There was never doubt as
to the justice of the debt until the
Herald questioned the morality Of
the city council in sidetracking the
obligation.
At the previous meetings of the
council not a member expressed the
shadow of a doubt of the legality
of the claim. Explanations were
never sought nor asked for until
Councilman Thompson was asked to
give further details regarding his
stand.
AS rule, explanations and apollo
gies that are forced, generally turn
out to be excuses, sometimes lame,
sometimes laughable, but always
delinquent. There is but one ques-
to-. to be considered. and that is the
right or wrong of the matter. II
it is right it should be paid: If it is
wrong it should not be paid
That it is right is admitted by the
action of the council four weeks ago
and the Introduction of the acts of
former defaulter into the argument
is subterfuge pure and simple,
too tardy to be seriously considered
However the action of the city
council is not surprise to many
people of the city. 1t has already
made record by its eccentricity and
il is to be wondered that the affairs
of the city are in as good shape as
they appear to be.
The defenders of Councilman
Thompson are, no doubt, delighted
to have their efforts reinforced by so
able a champion as the afternoon
Probably no one was more
surprised than Mr. Thompson him
self 1t is patched up?

Frost Did No Damage.

Many people fear that the heavy
frost Monday night damaged the fruit
trees to a great extent. In an Inter
view Paul Kruger said:
II am satisfied that there is little
or no damage done to the fruit trees.
The wind was blowing sufficiently
strong Monday night to protect the
fruit from the falling frost. Some
Of the blossoms may have been af-
fected. but the bud was not. Az long
as the wind blows there Is NO danger
from falling frosts."

County Treasurer Fink has had the floor
space of the treasury department offices
In the court house and city hall measured
and finds that the former exceeds the lat
ter by about 300 square feet. the ratio being
about 1000 to 100. Aside from convenience
of access to the public. the most pressing
question involved in getting quarters for
the consolidated treasures is Office room.
Treasurer Fink says the present city treas
ury offices will not be large enough and
that the scavenger tax section or some
other would have to be separate II a move
was made from the court house. He favors
n location in the city hall and will take
the matter up with the county commits
sioners and the city council. There is
plenty of unused office room in the city
hall on the second floor and above It that
may be utilized.
Most of the Office force retained in the
treasury ONCE at the city hall is to be
placed on the payroll permanently to take
care of the additional work. Mr.. Hennings
has been invited to occupy his old private
Office until the expiration of his term, but
has not signifed his decision whether to
do so or not. He has moved out his per-

SCHOOL BOARD ON NEW TACK
Policy as TO New Buildings is to BE
Nodded in some
rs Degree.

Members Of the Board Of Education are
investigating school house plans in other
cities and the manner of their preparation
in order to get ideas TO be used in arrang-
ing for the new Vinton school building. A
twelve-room structure, with a high base
ment containing space for four rooms, or
permitting the equivalent OF a sixteen
room building, has been decided upon by
the committee of the whole, which has
the matter in charge, but further details
are not fixed. The experience of Boston,
st. Louis and other cities that lead in
school architecture is being canvassed with
an idea of determining what is deemed the
best method of procedure, as well as the
cheapest consistent with economy.
Efforts are being made toward abandon
ing the old plan in vogue in Omaha of
simply turning over the whole affair to an
architect selected and letting him do the
rest. Boston has adopted permanent plans
for school houses of various sizes and
costliness and a question has been raised

ical and much more satisfactory all around
