Fertilizers.
A man must use fertilizers intelli-
gently or he will throw away great
deal of money upon them. 1t is absurd
for farmer to purchase a fertilizer
and put it upon land that he does not
know needs fertilizers. a man should
not eXpend a dollar in fertilizers until
he knows what kind he needs. If his
land is rich in certain element he
will but throw money away if he buys
fertilizers to put on his land. Vast
ing money in this way is one Of the
penalties of not knowing.

RAILROAD WORK

BUILDINGS VALUED At $4,000,
Consider Repair Of Men Equally as
Great a Necessity as the Repair
of Their Machinery.

During the last five years the rail-
roads of this country have put up,
on an average, one new Y. M. C. A.
building every thirty days, the record
showing sixty buildings in sixty
months.
Possibly the best reason and
answer that could be found to the
question, why are they doing this?"
is that of Mr.. Charles B. Gleed, who
speaking for the Santa Fe system
said: 1--WE have decided that we
have as much right to spend mon y
for the repair of our men as for the
repair of our machinery, hence our
generous support of the Young Mems
Christian Association ),
A copy of the Railroad Report for
1866 has just been received at the
local Y. M. c. A. building fund office,
from which the following facts have
been gathered by reporter of The
Herald for the information of our
readers at this time, while the value
of Y. M. c. A. building is being
discussed relative to this city.
That the railroads believe in them
is shown by the fact that over $780,
900 was put into buildings last year
only, divided up as follows: New
buildings: Spring Hill, N. B., $780,
600; Stellarton, N. s., $4,000; East
Toronto, Ont, $4,000; Douglas,
Ariz., $4,000; Grand Rapids, Mich
$4,000; Spencer, North Carolina,
100000; Chicago Junction, Ohio,
$15,500; Collinwood, Ohio, $4,000;
Portsmouth. Ohio, $23,5OO; MISC
KEGS Rocks, Pa. $4,000; Helper,
Utah, $4,000, Total, $23S,7OO.
Buildings remodeled, South Cumber-
land, Md, $4,000; Oakdale, Tenn,
100000. Enlarged buildings: Cor
bin, KY, $4,000; East Deerf1eld,
Mass, $4,000; Poplar Bluff, Mo-,
$4,000; Buffalo Creek, N. Y.,$5.OOO:
West Albany, N. Y, $4,000; Du Bots,
Pa, $4,000. Total, $4,000. In
addition to the above, buildings are
already assured at the following
points to cost over 100000. and e
be erected during the present year:
Calgary, Alberta, $4,000; Revel-
stoke, B. c., $4,000; Allendale &
Mimico, Ont, $1,000, together; s.
Augustine. Fla, $4,000; East Deer

At the present time therefore the

of their moral, religious or social val

A prominent minister of the city said:
Il consider street parks are one of the
most important features of beautiful
city. The space lying between the side
walks and street should be leveed and
seeded to grass and then kept in first
class condition
"Many Of the cities of California have
all their streets parked with beautiful
lawn of grass, flowers and trees. This
is kept in condition by the city and
makes very beautiful streets. Decora
tions of sea shells and many colored tile,
with fountains interpersed along the
entire length of all of the boulevards and
avenues are used with telling effect.
Trees of different kinds, box elder and
locusts, should be planted and should
be trimmed high. The best of them
should be trimmed at least II feet to
the first limbs and should be kept trim
med.
"The lawns of the different homes
should be kept in better condition and
more towering shrubbery planted. 1t
seems, though, that there is u large num-
Der of cvily disposed people who do not
consider that man has right even to
his own flowers, for they break and de-
stroy all the flowers near the streets.
think it is very likely that it will be
two or three generations before these
people are so educated as to leave plants
and shrubs alone. l think if more were
grown they would be less likely to be
molested.
Parks are very essential TO any wide
awake city and the locality, lying south
of Yakima avenue and east of Tacoma
could be easily made into beautiful
park 1t is low ground and by little
work could be made to answer as a city
recreation park for those who live in
flats and tenement houses and who are
unable to hire horses and buggies for
country outings.

tie to say, regarding the pavement OF
streets but think for the public health
and welfare Yakima avenue must be
paved with some material that will
make a clean and wholesome street.
would not favor boulevards such as
Naches avenue is claimed to be, with a
couple of rows of scraggly unkempt
trees and narrow strip of withered
grass, but if the street or driveway were
we'll kept, it would be a welcome add
ton toward identifying the city.
"Street cars would be very welcome
addition to this city and would allev-
late a great many difficulties experienced
by the suburban residents.
"The architectural beauty of the build
ings and homes of the city could be much
improved if more attention was paid to
the effects of structural architecture.
And if could dictate to the citizen who
builds, would recommend colonial style,
and all wooden buildings should be
painted white.
"All signs that are unsightly and of
an ugly appearance should be eliminated.
Billboards with their flaming posters and
dilapidated appearance, after two days
wind, that leaves the gaudy paper flap
ping in shreds, are an utter abomina
tion to any well kept city and should be
removed.
POLES carrying light or telephone
wires should all be put in the alleys or
taken away entirely and the wires car
ried underground"

because il il less desirable for resident
purposes and more desirable for park
purposes. All OF Naehes avenue should
be made into park. That would give
parks that would lie readily accessible
to everybody. Beer gardens and loafers
should not be allowed in or about them.
81 have always advocated making the
roadways comparatively narrow in
streets running north and south and
making parking strips CORES pondingly
wide. | believe this last can only be
done satisfactorily if the city can pro-
vide for the maintenance of those
strips at the expense of abutting proper
ty owners, if the property owners don't
do it themselves. The little bitches run.
ming north and south carry sufficient
water to keep those parks in good cond-
ton. If a general scheme similar to
this was carried out the whole city would
be park. North Yakima can be made
the prettiest town in the northwest.
Providence did her part and all that is
necessary is for the citizens to get in
and do theirs"

Pacific tracks, would form an admirable
location for park site of several acres,
as this land appears very fertile and cas-
lily irrigated, and would allow of quick
growth of verdure and trees. A large
basin for Aquatic plants could be put
directly into the triangular corner and
a broad walk carried around it; lom.
hardy poplars planted at the edge of the
railroad right of way would afford shade
to those sitting around the basin. Just
north of this park filled with shrub.
berry and trees would afford shade and
shelter from the intense heat of the
sun. The beauty of park so placed
would be that it is so easily accessible
to the city, is situated where real es.
tate values are not prohibitve and it
would form the gateway to the town.
He also suggested the immediate acqui-
sition of a park site on hill point be-
tween the Naches and Yakima rivers,
this could probably be secured for little
or nothing and with driveway graded
around circular park would offer an
object to those who drive in the evenings
to go to it. Water could be lifted to
this park with hydraulic ram, from
the river and could be emptied into the
river again in miniature cascade with
picturesque bridge crossing the out
let
Mr.. Missigman was much impressed
by the beauty of the valley in recent
trip through it and expressed himself
then. as being surprised that there were
not parks and places of amusement
around the town.
NJ. l.. Matterson said: "rhere are
many ways by which we might beautify
our city. l wish TO call your attention
to two methods which could easily be
put into practice with little expense, and
the results would be gratifying to our
citizens and with visitors would he
one of our best advertisements. In the
first place let us clean the telephone and
light poles of all advertising matter and
then keep them so. Then again place
upon every corner in the business por-
ton of the city can or other suitable
receptacle in which people are compell-
ed to place all refuse matter, such as
paper wrappers, discarded paperbags,
fruit skins, nut shells, etc, instead of
throwing them upon the streets as is the
practice now.
Such movements as mentioned above
would do much in the way of pleasing
the eye, and add materially to the safe
ty of the people; for who will deny that
Tapping cards on the poles and flying
paper in the streets aid the "fire fiend,"
and brighten horses?
Another important, though not pop
ular move would be the eradication of
the saloons and kindred moral cesspools.
The improved appearance of the people
who throng our streets would be of
more value to our city than many of the
expensive improvements which have
been suggested by our citizens from time
to time, and the beautiful homes which
would spring up in the place of the ma
ny dingy novels now occupied by the
patrons of the aforesaid "cesspools
would be things of beauty forever"
