CLEANING-UP TIME.

The Herald is pleased to note con-
siderable activity in the residence
portions in the matter of cleaning
up. Yards that have been neglected
through the winter always have an
accumulation of old leaves, dead
grass, weeds and rubbish.
During the winter this trash serves
good purpose. During the spring
its effect is evil. Raking the lawn in
the spring is as good as a shampoo
on ones head 1t stimulates growth
It strengthens the roots of the grass
and insures a healthy. beautiful
growth OF verdure.
A city of lawns is beautiful city.
Why not make Yakima a lawn city
this spring? II adds beauty; beauty
commands attention; attention of
that kind develops attraction; attrac-
ton compels investment. and invest
ment means prosperity.
1t is difficult to draw the line be-
tween natural beauty and commercial
value. One tends toward the other,
and both are desirable.

A Phenomena.

A number of colored people at
tended lecture given by a noted
lecturer and noticed in the course of
mis- remarks the word phenomena"
which he used repeatedly. They
could not catch the meaning of the
word, and next day they went to
their pastor and demanded of him
the meaning of the word.
We'll. Breddern, you all come to
de meetin' next Sunday and l will
'splain dat word" he said to them.
The next Sunday there was a
much larger attendance than usual.
The pastor with his first remarks
said: II notice a big crowd out to-
day. and, breddern and sistern, l is
ready for to 'splain de word
phenomena Now if you would be
goin' down de road and see a cow
eatin' grain. you would know dat it
was no phenomena. You go a little
furder and see thistle just ready
for to bloom, you would know dat it
was no phenomena. And you keep
on down de road and you see bud
a settin' on a limb and you hear dat
bud singin and a singin, you would
know dat it was no phenomenal; but
If you see dat COW a sittin' on de

would know dat it was a phenom-

RESPONSIBILITY.

The rich lowlands of the Neither
lands are protected and preserved
from the unceasing attacks af the
wild North sea by immense dykes
built and kept in repair by the labor
and watchfulness of the people who
own, till and live on the contiguous
farms, lying many feet below the sur
face of the avaricious, angry ocean.
No day, no night passes without
these embankments being patrolled
by vigilant eyes and willing hands,
10 preserve their solidity and the
safety of the thousands living be-
hind the earthen walls.
BY law, each district, section and
householder is made responsible for
the condition and integrity of the
protecting levee Immediately before
their doors. There is no trusting of
the homes, lives and fortunes of the
inhabitants TO others. Each and all
are and must be vigilant for them
selves.
Is not the same rule of action nee
essary in order that any community
may preserve the homes and the chill
dren from the destroying tides of
immortality and intemperance that
beset it?
Why constantly shuttle off this re-
sponsibility upon a few unsustained
ministers of the gospel, and expect
moral immunity?
Must not every householder build
before his own doors, keep the boys
and girls OF the streets, instill into
their minds a desire for useful knowl-
edge, make home the most attract
i've of all places to them, build around
each and every child the strong en-
bankment of true parental care and
affection,
Then and not before, this or any
other community is assured of safety
and happiness, for It has built before
its own doors, and preserved its very
choicest treasures from the waves
and tides Of immortality and vice that
seek to overwhelm them.

Sense About Death.

The gradual advance of thought

connected with death is something
10 be gratefully noted Display and
ostentation in funerals has long been
considered in bad taste, and former
eXtravagances in mourning dress
have become obsolete The hideous
and unhealthful crepe veil has dis
appeared from the heads of those
high in the world of good taste, and
in many other ways common sense,
as we'll as delicacy of feeling, have
asserted themselves.
AS civilization advances mourning
customs will be relaxed and reformed
until all the oppressive rules which
have long burdened life will cease.
The question of mourning dress has
long occupied the energies of social
reformers. Some women of strong
moral and mental balance have dis
carded the whole uniform and para
phernalia of woe In this country
men have almost entirely dropped
the fashion of wearing any kind of
reminder of their losses by the great
destroyer Slowly the advance is
made. The world is a more cheer

are fewer figures shrouded in crepe

the effect that no saloons would ever

THE NORTH COAST HOLD-UP.

A city that is bidding for prestige
makes a pretty spectacle Of itself
when it's citizens practice underhand-
ed and dirty tricks to gain few dol
lars and try to hold up" worthy
railroad enterprise that will benefit
the community immeasureably. 1t is
an unspeakable shame that the fair
name of this city has to endure the
ignominy, occasioned by the unwise
act of one of its citizens.
1t would be we'll worth the while
to take hint from the attitude of
our neighbors.
Walla Walla has asked the North
Coast railroad hackers to state their
needs. and the city would do all in
her power to grant them, and would
esteem it a privilege and pleasure
to assist in making the road sue
cess.
Kennewick has even gone so far
as to offer free right-of-way to the
North Coast road, If that company
would agree to run through that city.
North Yakima must not and shall
not be behind the times. The neces-
sity II competing road is too well
known to be further exploited in
this column 1t is the crying need.
A man that would stand in the way
of it's early and easy entrance to the
city is not only an injury to him
self and his city, but the entire val
ley: and his attitude. no matter who
1t is. should earnestly and consist
entity put him down as an undesirable
quantity
The Herald hopes that the officials
OF the new road will not regard this
action on the part of one or two of
its unwise citizens as reflection of
the opinion of the entire community.

BE CAREFUL.

Yakima has secured that which 1t
has been looking forward to for
some time. The approval of the Tie
tan project is the biggest event in
the history of the valley. 1t is i'm
possible at this time to estimate in
dollars and cents the impetus that
this big proposition will give to the
prosperity of this section of the state.
The best that can be said Is that 1t
will be enormous.
Some of the proximate results
will be increased realty values; in
fiux Of new blood and new energy:
addition to the population; greater
fertility of soil; establishment of new
industries; and period of marvel
Gus, material benefit.
Just think of valley with the ca
pacity of producing sufficient sus-
tenance for 100000 people. 1t is
not impossible. Think of a hand
some valley city with steady, perm
anent population of $4,000. 1t is not
impossible. Think of scores of pow
err plants and factories. It is not
impossible. These things will come.
They are imminent, not visionary.
But. Yakima will have to brace
herself.
Great moral courage will be re-
CURED.
He who lives normally in prosper
ity will not suffer In adversely; but,
he who lives normally in small be-
ginnings has a fight on his hands to
preserve his integrity when prosper
ity strikes.
Yakima has good, substantial
foundation upon which to build her
future welfare. Build we'll. Build
cautiously. Build for permanency.
Guard we'll the city's morals; make
her laws plain statements of honest
opinions, and provide all that makes
a good city healthy. clean and pleas
ant.
If great material prosperity is our
lot, take it calmly. Be reasonable,
fair and Just. Do not allow enthus-
iasm to blind the eyes to reason.
Let values ascend normally: do not
boost too strongly. Over-zealous-
ness may react and do more harm
than can be repaired.

"A MORE EXCELLENT WAY"

In another column We print a
communication from resident Of
the city supporting the recent an
archistic outbreak of Eugene V.
Debs.
We grant this gentleman the right
Of free expression of his opinion and
we are pleased 10 give a medium for
his views to become public. We are
also pleased 10 note that the writer
grants us the same privilege.
"a more excellent way
This little expression oil ST. Paul's
is again our reply. but our social
istic friend asks us to enlighten him.
We use one of his own illustra-
tons 10 demonstrate the application
OF our argument.
He tells us that John Brown, at
the expense of his lie and suffering
the name of traitor. "sprang to the
front and proposed to free the
slaves" True he did so. but John
Brown did not free the slaves by
his heroic. but none the less unwise,
act.
In the instance mentioned the
more excellent way" was the adop-
ton of the thirteenth amendment TO
the constitution by ballots. not by
bullets nor bayonets.
Civilization has taken huge strides
since then and John Mitchel style

of labor is another type of the more

liberty and the pursuit of happiness
will eventually be firmly established

tary revolution.

ONE MORE CONTRIBUTION.
Famine Fund Increased by Another
Gift of $500.

Knack Bros. have added $500 20
the Herald famine fund. This makes
total in cash contributions of s3S :
so since the car of -four was shipped.
There were two sacks of -four con-
tributed the day after the car had
been shipped, and these sacks have
been converted into money, making a
total cash fund now on hand of $40.
The Seattle fund is about to be
closed, and the Herald will close its
fund at the same time. The $40 now
in the hands of the Herald will there
fore, be sent today to the Seattle
committee, and the subscription fund
closed accordingly.
The Herald wishes to thank those
who contributed to the fund, enab-
ling Yakima to show up favorably
with the other cities of the state.

TROUT SEASON
SOON TO OPEN
PROMISES Of EARLY CATCHES
Anglers Preparing for sport and
Growing Enthusiastic Over
Their Tackles.

Many enthusiasts are at work
now selecting their tackle and get
ting ready for April /. The early
season promises good results.
Yakima is a great place fol- trout
in the trout season and many remark
able catches are reported from year
to year.
The streams that are the most
popular for early fishing are the All
tanum, Cow creek, Cowiche, Tieton
and the Natchez rivers. The fish
are of an especially fine flavor and
consist Of several varieties, such as
brook, moutain and salmon trout. A
few rainbow trout are also taken.
The early season promises better
results for the brook trout, as they
are not so large as the mountain
trout, but more numerous.
The first bait used in the opening
season is salmon eggs and angle
worms, and later the fly and also the
salmon fly or perewinkle.
Many trout men think that the
opening season this year promises
greater sport with the fly at the
start because of the streams being
very low because of lack of rain.
Even the most rash trout experts will
not estimate the number of trout
that are in the streams this season
The tackle used this year will be
OF much higher grade than is
usually used, because of a large
number OF enthusiasts mere from the
east and because of the great num-
Der of anglers here now 1t is ad-
mitted by many that the trout have
become more wary and harder to
catch. Not very long ago many
fishermen used willow pole and a
perewinkle for bait: the fly was con-
sidered a luxury and used only by
the city fellow, but since Yakima has
become city the willow mas van
ished

TELEGRAPH IN MEXICO
OWNED BY THE PEOPLE
Message Of Ten Words Sent to
Any Part of Country for
Five Cents.
Money Orders Also Sent BY
Wire at Exceedingly Low
Rate Lesson.

Mr.. F. E. P1ummer, one Of our SUBJ
scribers residing in the City of Mex
leo has recently sent us the following
interesting facts relative to the benef-
icent effect of governmental owner
ship and operation of the telegraph
as he has observed 1t in and around
the City of Mexico, says the Arena:
1.-THE telegraph lines in Mexico"
says Mr.. Plummer, "are owned by the
government, and as result rates are
very low. Within the Federal District
which Is about fifty miles square q
don't know the exact size), we can
send a message of ten words to any
town in the district and have it de-
livered to the street address for five
cents Mexican currency, which Is
equal to two and one-half cents United
States currency. Money-orders up to
twenty dollars cost one-half of one
per cent by wire, but above that
amount one per cent, thus favorfng
the poorer classes who send only
small amounts. In Connection with the
government telegraph branch-offices
have been established In every dis
trict In the city; also there are boxes
for the reception of the five and ten
cent ten and twenty-word telegram
cards which can be bought at any Of

LIFE INSURANCE AND
RESULT Of EXPOSURE
Need of Life Insurance Made
Evident by Exposures OF
Graft in New York.
Business Will be Better Than
Ever Now That It Will
Be Run Economically.

The large reduction in the net
amount Of life insurance required last
year is of course a fact to confront
the companies Of the country with
warning effect. But. the Springfield
Republican points out, the figures
given out by the New York insurance
department, which cover the opera
lions Of companies doing business In
that State, and this includes practical
ly all Of the well-established old-line
concerns of the United States. do not
justify the discouraging comment
which is being passed upon them here
and there. 1t is to be remembered that
the reduction is not in the net amount
Of insurance outstanding, but in the
increase Of such insurance as COM
pared with the previous year. The
record for 1905 may be tabulated as
follows:
Issued .1,017717 $1733,101,511
Terminated 49,. 657159 1196,744,O0O
Net Increase :. 360,558 1886, 81
1t is this net increase of $536,357, 511
in outstanding insurance that there has
been reduction. the figure for 1904 be-
ing s151,7oo,oOo larger
