enough in the valley to use a large
share of its products then you will
have city of 10000.
"Some years ago had occasion to
appraise some lots on South Matches
for the Northern Pacific. After con-
sulting real estate dealers as
though | contemplated buying I set
what was fair price on the prop
erty. Everyone said the valuation
was too high. Today those same
lots that were then held at from
5000 to $500 each will bring about
$500 apiece.
"A street car line is what you
need here more right now than
anything else. Until you get one
the real growth of the city will be
hindered. As soon as you have a
line in operation outside lots will be-
come just as valuable, convenient
and desirable as those close in now
are. The price Of property near the
heart of the city will not decrease
and until such time as a street rail !.
way is in operation the city will not
be able to spread over much more
territory than it now occupies. The
suburbs of Yakima are a mile from
the center of the town. Build a
street car line and all the country
for nine miles around will be sub
urbs the same as in Seattle and Ia
coma or any other modern city"
Speaking of the Y NJ. c. A. move
ment, Mr.. Upright said:
"Anyone interested in the devel-
opment of his city should be inter-
ested in such an institution. The
canvass in Tacoma for $150,000 is
being pushed, and already $4,000
has been subscribed. There seems
to be no doubt of the ultimate sue
cess of the movement"
When asked what he saw that was
undesirable about the city and liza
Bile to be detrimental to the best in
terests of North Yakima, Mr.. Up
right said:
Everything | have seen has been
modern and up-to-date with one ex-
ception. Your streets are those of
country villages yet. Even on the
main street where a sprinkler is
used the dust is very annoying.
Some of the side streets are so much
worse than the Avenue that one does
not notice that after drive. Until
you have something better for
streets than earth and stones that
become mud or dust with the pass
ing of the seasons you can not ex-
pect to be considered among the
real live cities"

WATCHED yAK|MA'S
GROWTH FOR YEARS
FROM Mp. RlGHT-0F-WAY AGENT
Notes the Rapid Increase in the
Value of Lots and Offers Good
Suggestions.

People living in the city become
accustomed to the growth and pro-
gress all around them and do not
realize the way the city of North
Yakima is striding along to a promi-
nent place among the cities of the
northwest.
A. X. Upright, the right-o way
agent for the Northern Pacific, spent
Friday in the city and with his
wife drove over the valley, through
the orchards and beside the fields.
He has been through the city on and
off for the last fifteen years and his
remarks on the conditions of things
here and the future of the whole
valley are worthy of consideration.
From the nature of his duties Mr..
Upright has had splendid oppor-
tunity for studying the conditions
which combine to produce a vigor-
Gus and lasting growth. He has
seen in the last two decades towns
spring into existence and for a
few years prosper amazingly. The
prices of property would advance
and then while everything was ap-
parently showing indications of a
future greatness and prosperity, for
some unaccountable reason fortune
would withdraw her favor, fortunes
would melt away and mercantile
firms would become bankrupt Where
a few months ago before everything
was healthy and active would be
seen stagnation in all lines of bust
ness, and those who were on the in
side knew that the "booni had bust
ed" He has seen these things hap
pen and he has also seen other towns
start up and without anything re-
markable happening grow to be cit
les. Mr.. Upright has been close
observer of causes and when he
says that everything is right in this
valley for city of 10000 within two
years after the government work
gets under way he knows what he
Is talking about, and his opinion is
not based on heresay, but on the
knowledge that certain conditions
bring about certain results.
Looking over the new buildings
that are being erected. Mr.. Upright
said: each time I am in your city
I see more new buildings in course
of construction than ! have ever
seen in any city Of It's size in the
west after 1t was ten years old. You
have all you need here for large
city. These farms with their alfalfa
fields ad orchards are the firmest
foundation that you can ever have
for your Yakima of the future. The
growth of this place as I have OBJ
served X has always been dependent
upon and supported by the agricul-
tural resources Of the valley. Today
hundreds of carloads of produce are
being shipped out Of your stations
and the land Is not yet producing to
the utmost. When there are people

matter refused to discuss the ca %.
He admitted. however, that he had
been retained and that suit was
being prepared.
The opinion of one attorney Is
that the city and not the Gilligan
company is liable. The company
agreed to put in any sort of crib
hing that the city engineer wished
and even went so far as to make
the piling used inside the cribbing
stronger than called for. These facts.

sewer people from all blame.

her intention of signing contract

small amount of regrets expressed
by those who sought to keep her on
the other side of the water.
She has. during the past few sea-
sons in Europe, come forward among
the greatest lights of the operate
and concert stage. The superb voice
of this great artist has been heard
in all of the large European musical
centers and the critics have law
ished praise on her, calling her the

of Song" Her voice has the surety
of queens which none dispute. She
is sovereign in the world of art,
this American singer. for he falls not
victim to her song becomes vassal
of her winning smile. If that note
of tenderness, the spirit that converts
the marvelously fashioned clay of
art into soul, were in this fair song

With a knowledge of her work as
complete as any artist enjoys, Ellen
Beach Yaw surpassed all other re-
citalists today, for she has youth and

THREE YEARS IN UNCLE SANS SERVICE
Ernest Kunert Returns After Army
Life at Jefferson Barracks.

Ernest Kunert, Jr., after service
of three years in the regular army,
has returned to the life of a civilian.
Mr.. Kunert served in the 18th cav
airy at Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, re-
ceiving his discharge at Fort Des
Moines, Iowa. He is son of Mr..
and Mrs. Ernest Kunert. ST.. who
removed from this city to Beaver Dam
about year ago. While here, he lis
the guest of his brother. The young
man will remain here couple of days,
when he will go to Beaver Dam to
visit his parents, after which he will
return to Watertown to enter the en-
ploy of the Dornfeld- Kunert Co.
Asked yesterday if he would return to
the army service, facial expression
spoke louder than words with Mr..
Kunert. With sort of twinkle in
his eye, he replied: "Not much, I've
had all l want The young soldier
had been absent from the city three
years and a half and remarked on the
growth and general air of prosperity
in the city since his departure.

STRUCK
A FARM WINDMILL
Did Some Damage at Luther
CRUDE Place East of City,
Thought it Earthquake.

Saturday night at about IL o'clock
lightning struck the windmill on the
farm of Luther CRUDE five miles east
of the city and badly shattered and
the conclusion was so great that it
broke about every pane of glass in
the windows of his house, entailing
quite loss. The family who had
retired were awakened by the shock,
supposing it to be an earthquake and
hastily clothing themselves were about
to flee to a place of safety when the
discovery was made that the commo-
ton had been occasioned by lightning
which had played havoc generally
with the windmill and glass. One
peculiar feature about it was, that
there was not much rain and as far
as they know, the only flash of light
ming. All things considered, it was
very fortunate that it struck the wind
mill instead of the house for in that
case the damage might have been
greater and possible loss of life.

HAVE We A KING AND QUEEN?
Child Informed Not, Said mo, But
We Have a La Toilette.

The following story which has the
merit of being strictly true is told of
a little three-year- Watertown girl
who accompanied her parents on a
visit to Ireland. One day her mother
was talking about the king and queen
Of England. When the interested
youngster inquired if they have king
and queen in Ireland, to which the
mother replied, that the king and
queen of England are the only ones
they have. Are the people of Ire
land very rich, mamma - asked the
little girl, still earnestly seeking in
formation, and her mother replied.
"No, the people of Ireland are poor. :"
Not being entirely satisfied. the little
one then asked: ''Have we a king
and queen, mamma? % to which the
mother gave negative reply. When
the little miss spoke up quicker than
a flash, "Why of course not, we have
La Toilette. Thus her mind which
was first in maze doubt cleared
up and the distinguished leader of the
Wisconsin half-breeds was awarded
second place among kings and queens.

legation or rule in making announce
ment of the fact, that James P. Hol-
land of this city and editor of the
Times, is a candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination fer county treasurer

been a resident of Jefferson county all
his life, his democracy and fealty to
his party cannot be challenged and
his ability to discharge the duties of
the office in an acceptable and salts

John C. Harder, very estimable
and competent gentleman, whose

SUNDAY EVENING At
THE CONGREGATIONAL
INTERESTING AND IMPRESSIVE
MEMORIAL SERMON.
For the Members of the Grand
Army of the Republic -EdifiCe
Beautifully DeCOrdtedWith Flow
erS and Fldgs-EvidenCe of Pat
riOtiSm Everywhere.

Interesting and impressive services
were held Sunday evening at the Con-
gregational church, the occasion be-
ing the preaching of a Memorial SER
mon for the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic. The church
was Hastily decorated with flowers and
flags, and there was evidence of pa
trlotism every where. At 7:45 the
members of 0. D. Pease Post filed in
to the church and occupied seats that
had been reserved for them. The ser
vices began by an invocation by Rev.
M. l.. Eversz. pastor of the English
M. E. church, which had abandoned
its evening service, to unite in the
memorial service. The pastor OF the
church then read the scripture lesson
which was followed by music by the
choir. The Rev. Eversz then made a
very feeling patriotic prayer which
went home to the heart of every vet
eran in the hearing of his voice,
which was followed by solo by Mrs.
c. R. Field and hymn by the choir,
"Onward, Christian Soldiers.' Rev.
Thompson then read a portion of the
18th chapter of Hebrews and took for
his text part of the 35th verse
"And others and spoke eloquently
of what had been accomplished and
said that the men whose names ap-
peared in history were only entitled
to their share for without the heroism
and self-sacrifce of the rank and file.
they would have accomplished nothing.
But the grandest heroism had been
displayed by the veterans of the civil
war since their return to civil life,
handicapped by loss of opportunity,
enfeebled health, Slapped vitality and
had uncomplainingly taken up the bat
tie of life and been good citizens in
the development Of the country saved
by their vaIor, heroism, privations
and hardships- and while their names
did not appear upon the scroll of
fame, they were remembered by
grateful people. The private hero
may not be met with loud acclaims,
but he is the hero nevertheless for he
is never in the limelight to be admired
and honorded like some whose oppor-
tunities were more favorable.
At the close of the sermon "Ameri-
ca was sung by the choir and aud
fence and the benediction spoken by
Rev. Eversz.

RATHER ABUSIVE
Result Was That They We're
Gathered In Last Evening
BY Officer Bruegger.

Two specimens of the "Weray
Willie" tribe are incarcerated in the
confines of mortar and brick. having
been taken under the protecting wing
of the law shortly after six O'Clock
last evening The fellows were en-
gagged in the extensive business opera
tons of disposing of needles in a
house toulouse canvas, evidently for
the purpose of procuring revenue to
invest in amber fluid to soak their
worthless hides. From appearances,
the fellows had been successful in a
measure in disposing of their wares,
for they had lovely shine on"
when molested by the guardian of the
law. Their operations of buying and
selling were working charming y-and
SO was the amber fluid. Late in the
afternoon the wanderers became sassy
and impudent. When attempting to
effect sale and being refused they
would give vent to their feelings In a
manner that was decidedly insulting,
or, in other words, their vocabulary
of the English language should have
been sufficient to express themselves
in a more enlightened manner. The
needle agents came to grief when
they visited the parsonage of st.
Henry's church. They created some
thing of disturbance, when Rev.
Father Schweitzer pressed the tele-
phone into service and acquainted one
of the officers with the facts. Officer
Bruegger made the parties captives
at the corner of Fourth and Main
streets and escorted them to the city
lookup, where they will have till to-
morrow morning to sober up, when
they will be arranged in court to
answer to the charge of using abusive
language. They will probably be
sentenced to serve short term in the
county baStile
