Is the Womau.s Christian
Temperance Union dealing in
small matters? Answer:-The
liquor question is four times as
big as the tariff question and six
teen times as big as the money
question. 1t is easily big enough
to form the basis of a successful
political party. And that party
is rapidly crystalizing. Prohi-
bition party legislation candidates
returns already at hand indicate
a probable aggregate vote of
half a million throughout the
country, including from 100000
to 100000 in Illinois alone. That
means the possibility of 1,000,0 900
votes in 1908 for a prohibition
president.

Civic Improvement Committee Ar

The committee of ladies appointed
by the Twentieth Century Club for
the purpose of finding ways and
means for identifying the city are
meeting with great encouragement
from the citizens of North Yakima.
The ladies have consulted with the
school board in the matter of i'm
proving the high school grounds and
the board has consented to properly
care for the same after the grounds
have been put in shape and seeded
to grass.
Arrangements have been made for
the boys of the senior and sophomore
classes to meet at the high school
building next Thursday and engage
in the removing of the stones and the
putting of the soil in shape for the
reception of the lawn seed. The
club ladies will provide a fine lunch
con, which will be served by the
young ladies Of the two classes. A
day will be selected later at which
the juniors and freshmen will dem
onstrate their ability to work.
The ladies of the club have COL
lected among themselves s35 as a
starter, but will need additional
funds with which to complete the
work. They will not refuse contri-
buttons from any source. Those
wishing to contribute may leave their
mite with Mrs. Banker, Mrs. Fred

WONDERFULLY RICH FIND
MADE IN SWAUK DISTRICT
GOLD THAT WILL RUN $4,000 TO THE TON
Stockholders are Nearly All Yakima Men and
the Prospects are That All Will be
Made Rich by the Strike

One of the richest gold strikes that
has ever been made in Central Wash
ington was made few days ago by
w. H. Taylor in the Swauk district.
The strike was made at the north line
of the Swauk Mining Company
claims, and is thought to be contin-
uation of that ledge. The ledge, as
far as has been ascertained, runs from
four to six feet and is believed by
those who have Investigated it to be
not less than 900 and possibly 500 feet
in length.
John w. Thomas. of II North Nat
chez avenue, who is heavily interested
in the property where the strike was
made, said last night:
'It is a find Of astonishing richness.
The specimens brought down since
Taylor made the strike are nearly half
gold and they will assay not less than
$4,000 to the ton"
The miners went up from Swauk
camp to see the strike and they claim
that It is by far the richest strike ever
made in that districtand that the ledge
shows indications of being much longer
and far richer than its discovery
thinks. They are also of the opinion
that 1t is continuation of the Swauk
ledge and that the Swauk mine is
much richer than any of the interested
parties believe. The men who visited
1t were permitted to take specimens
from the mine and in the few taken
they found more than $50 in pure gold.
