SCREEN THE bitches.

Many complaints about the unnec-
essary slaughter of planted fishes
have reached the Herald office lately
The same tale is told by all lovers of
Walton's sport.
Fishes are imported into this val
ley, planted in the head bitches, and
then allowed to shift for themselves.
The next order of things, we learn,
Is the opening of the head bitches in
to the irrigation canals. AS a result
of this operation, the fishes are al
lowed to cross to the irrigation ca
nails, even to the very smallest. When
the water for any reason is turned
off, the canals soon become dry, and
in short while fishes are seen scat
tered on the dry beds by the thous-
ands.
Ii is claimed by expert fishermen in
this country that more fish die in
three days in these dried up canals
than are caught in the whole valley
during the entire season. If this be
the case, there ought to be one of
two things done, and that at once.
First-Stop attempting to raise
fish in the head bitches; avoid the
expense and labor involved by i'm
porting them and then trying to
plant them for food purposes later
on. Leave the millions of the finny
tribe for countries that better appre-
ciate them than we do. Shipping
fish to this country and then allow
ing them to be slaughtered in this
merciless manner is absolutely wrong.
1t should be stopped; or,
Second-Screen the exits from the
head bitches. Keep the fish in the
water where they are planted. Here
they furnish sport and food. They
are in the element where they can
best take care of themselves, are not
liable to wholesale and unwarranted
and the expense of pre-
venting this sacrifice will be much
less than the amount involved in the
number that are permitted to die
without cause.
The screening of the bitches NAV
be little work, may cost a little
money; but it will be benefit to the
rancher, a saving to the government.
and slight consideration for the
fishes themselves.

vailing wind, this city has been fortu-
nate to escape devastating fire that
would swep the main portion of the
residence section, telling it to the
level of the ground.
The special meeting of the council
last evening was timely. 1t was rath-
err an exemplification of the motto
of locking the barn after the horse
has been stolen. Nevertheless, there
are many good horses in the barn
that have not yet been purloined;
many first-class homes that are yet
standing.
The fire limits should be enlarged;
the character of buildings to be
erected therein, should be carefully
described: the fire department should
be sufficiently enlarged to allow am
pie protection for their safety; many
buildings and shacks, that are now
a public menace, should be razed; fire
escapes on many of the higher struc-
lures should be demanded fire plugs
should be literally provided: in fact,
there are many safeguards that
should be required.
One human life is worth all the
material property in the municipality.
No expense to protect that one life,
to say nothing of scores of others,
should be spared. Hotels should be
investigated, as we'll as lodging
houses. Menaces and public build
ings should be safeguarded. Let the
committee of the city coun-
ell get to work and ferret out the
dangerous sections, and condemn
them, without any consideration Of
who owns them, what they are worth
or what they are used for One good
fire, starting well in the northwest
portion of the city, with strong
wind, will raze this city so
completely that there will be nothing
left but a resemblance Of the me-
tropolis of this great and prosperous
valley.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

The Ahtanum was the center OF at
traction for the WaNonian disciples
Sunday. 1t is stated that there were
about forty persons from his city ell
gagged in fishing along the banks OF
the stream. Few catches were re-
ported, owing it is said to the large
number fishing and the noise they
made.
An interesting game of ball took
place Sunday at FIT .Simcoe no5ween
the FIT Simcoe Indians and the Tam
plea team. the score at the end of
the game, or rather when time was
called on account of darkness, was
81 to 81. A return game to decide
the contest will be played soon at
Tampico.
r. w. Harris, w. c. Stages and
Robert Reunie were arrested by Road
Ovcl seer James Lancaster Sunday
for driving larger number of sheep
over the steel bridge in Selah gap
than allowed by law. The men pleaG
guilty and a fine OF ten dollars was
opposed, which was promptly paid
by Forrest Wenner, owner OF the
sheep.
A shipment of about 400 gallons
of trout was received from the U. S
Bureau of Hatcheries at Oregon City,
Ore. They were shipped to DR.. G. j.
Hill, Harry Coonse. NJ. w. Penning-
ton. C. l.. Gordon and George E.
Stacey. They will be planted" at
various places, some in the waters
of the Ahtanum, others in the Natchez

A circular has been sent out from
the Yakima Indian agency at Fort
S,mcoe to the effect that stock may
be pastured on the tract recently
added to the reservation at the fol-
lowing rates: 20 cents per head for
sheep for the season, $3.50 for cat
tie and 50 for horses. The same
rules will apply that are in vogue in
TIE forest reserve.
Rev. H. H. Moninger and wife of
Cincinnati, w. Shattuck of New YotE,
Rev. and Mrs. Morton L. Rose and
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Kruger went ont
driving through the country yestcr-
day. The visitors were here in at
tendance at the Sunday school con-
vention. They expressed the .nsaivcs
very freely regarding the country,
the orchards and irrigating bitches
being things of especial interest to
them.
The Order of the American Boy
met at the Christian church Monday
night. which is now the regular meet
ing night. Rev. Malone talked to-
the boys on the Importance of the
boys brigade, which will soon be
brought into existence. Four new

The fact that an applicant for SUI

that the president will look to the

the western lawyers and judges, like
the western lawmakers, have as rule

the philolosists of his day when by an ini-

the authority of science nor autocratic

guage.
In the flush of a great national victory
the late Kaiser wilhelm decreed an i'm

the advice OF his philolosians. II was in

A SENSIBLE DECISION.

The ruling of the acting secretary Of
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor in favor of the appeal for the ad-
mission to this country of the refugee
Jewish children orphaned by the mas
sacre of their parents will strike one
and all as a sensible decision. These
children gathered together in Russia
by a philanthropic American woman
and brought to this country under as
surance' that homes would be found
for them by different societies under
the guidance of the United Hebrew
charities, had been shut out by the i'm
migration officers under technical in
depreciation of the law. Not only this,
but they were ordered deported back
to their point of embarkation under
the personal conduct of the self-sacri-
ficing woman who had brought them
out of Russia and safely across the
ocean.

While 1t is true that they are not self

with the officials at Washington. who

SOUTH AMERICAS CALAMITY.
Earthquakes Remarkable for Persist.


ence and Area Covered.
To appreciate the probable severity OF
the great seismic upheaval on the west
coast of South America 1t is only necessary
to compare the. extent OF the affected area
with that involved in the San Francisco
disaster. Making due allowance for possi-
Bile exaggerations 1t appears certain that
the territory in which there have been dis
turbances Of conclusive force is excep-
tionalIy large. Valparaiso sustained the
greatest destruction, but Santiago. which
lies to the southeast somewhat more than
forty miles, has also suffered severely, as
has the town OF San Felipe. about 100 miles
to the north OF the latter city. More re-
markable than all, the shock was felt on
the lower side of the Cordillepas. in the
Argentine Republic Tucuman, one OF the
towns said to be destroyed. lies nearly 200
miles inland from the coast
The disturbances appear to have been as
remarkable for their persistence as for
the area covered, The reports from Val
paraiso speak of "the great earthquakes
which have shaken the city since Thurs
day night" and other dispatches Indicate
that there has been a series OF heavy
shocks. succession OF minor earthquakes.
due TO the settling OF the faculty strata

mon feature OF great seismic upheavsls
but In this case the aftershocks appear
20 have rivaled the first in severity.
As this calamity fellows closely upon the
California earthquake, the conclusion is
natural that the Poetic coasts OF the two
Americas are undergoing some extensive
process OF readjustment. due TO the slipping
away OF broken portions OF the earth's
crust TO new centers OF rest. Whether the
