i MADE BUSINESS
GOOD FOR AWHILE
FLOOD OF MESSAGESFOLLO
Western Union Office in This CITY
Had Biggest Weeks Business
1t Ever Did.

There was more tnan one flood il
Yakima the last week. The first
was accompanied by whole lot of
raining and the river did quite
stunt. The second flood was in the
Western Union Telegraph office.
For the past week, ever since the
river first rose high enough to
wash out some bridges up the line.
the local telegraph office was de-
luged with kilograms, all reading
about the same: Delayed by wash
outs, home soon as possible" Practi-
cally all messages of business char
acter ceased and the wires We're kept
piled up with kilograms to wives,
friends and relatives reassuring
them that everything was all right
On Wednesday evening, one week
ago yesterday, the telegraph office
lost all their Seattle connections with
the sweeping out of the Northern Pa
cific track and telegraph lines above
Ellensburg, which left them with but
one wire, that to Spokane This wire
was kept going without a stop from
a. M. till 3 a. M, clearing up mes
sages and press dispatches destined
for the Sound and coast, for three
days, until Sunday, when a slight
let-up occurred.
Chief Operator Miles estimates
that 500 messages and $1,000 words
of press We're handled each day of
is hours during the height of the
flood" in this office. When this fact
is considered it does not seem so
surprising that there was a delay on
some messages. Some idea of the
enormity of the flood of messages
on Western Union wires all over
Washington is shown by the fol-
lowing telegram, which was received
by Mr.. Miles on the evening of Nov
10th:
I'VE have Seattle and Tacoma:
1900 messages ON hand.

We also request the cooperation
of those who have time and will
help in the work of actual distribu-
ton. Some no doubt have that work
on their hearts and would love to
help Come with us and we will
do thee good" as well rs do good
to others.
We also request the cooperation
of the doctors of the city in reporting
any who are needy that may come
to their notice while making profess
sional calls, etc.
Finally we ask the cooperation of
the churches of the city. 1t is free
for all, and is a good and laudable
work, one that must appeal strong
ly to the hearts of Christians every
where. Let us have your sympathy
prayers, donations, and some per-
sonal service, and we are sure that
the unfortunate sufferers of this
beautiful city will be much benefited
soul and body, and the community
benefited generally.

VALE THOMPSON
AS A POLITICIAN
ALDERMAN FROM FIFTH QUITS GAME
In the Future He Will Devote His
Entire Time and Energies to
Building up Practice.

BY personal friend of VIM. M.
Thompson, councilman from the
Fifth ward, attorney, politician and
good fellow, the Herald Is informed
that that gentleman's career in poll
tics is at an end. In the future no
office will tempt him to neglect his
legal business; no campaign will be
exciting enough to draw him into it.
He will, with the end of his term
as councilman, cease to look after
the business of anybody except his
clients and himself. "In fact" said
the friend quoted, "you will find
Thompson in his office every day in
the week, during all business hours,
ready to talk about anything ex-
ce9t politics. He has good prac
tice which he has been compelled to
neglect to a certain extent in order
TO look after the city's business, and
he has concluded it doesn't pay.
| believe that he could have been
nominated, and he might have been
elected councilman from the Fifth
ward. If he had said the word, but
], with all his friends, am glad he
turned the proposition down"
During the time that he has sery
ed on the city council Mr.. Thompson
mas maze mistakes, as have all 9th
efs VINO have served there His
course has often been criticized. but
TINS paper believes, and so do many
cltlzens, that no one has ever sery-
ed on the city council with more hon
esty, loyalty and desire to accom-
plish great things for the city. AS
was stated by speaker at the mass
meeting Tuesday evening, the time
will come when his services will be
appreciated. and the people will
know that he served them well AZ
member of the fire committee. and
also or the committee having con-
lrol OF the lights, he has been CON
spicuous. 1t is due largely to his
eHorts that the city today has the
IRE protection that it has, and if
he had not been hampered by what
the majority of the taxpayers dis
approved OF as penny-wise policy.
the department would have had still
better equipment. BY the time the
city pays off few legitimate claims
for damages due to it's poorly lighted
condition. the wisdom of the policy
regarding the lighting of the city
Mr.. Thompson has advocated will he
appreciated.
A characteristic of Mr.. Thompson
that his friends admire most Is
his open frankness and sincerity. II
one wanted to know where the coun.
Gilman from the Fifth stood. all that
was necessary was to ask billy -
me query was met with a plain.
honest answer, and there was no
fear OF a change Of front. There
never was any guessing as to where
thompson stood on any public aues-
ton.
He is a man who is true to his
friends and true to his convictions
Possessing legal ability and ambi-
ton. his friends predict his new
resolution will be the turning point
to an honored and successful career.
The Herald is one that believes thus.
and wishes him every success. It
may be the spoilin' of a good poll
tician. but it will be the maxim of
mighty good lawyer.

Stranger Dies at TopIenish.

A man was brought to the depot
Wednesday evening that was found
lying on the railroad right-of way,
about two miles east of town. His
teeth We're knocked out, face and
hands badly scratched. He was
placed in the baggage room and his
wants attended To by Agent Talbot
and assistants until he complained
of being sleepy and was left for n
couple of hours to sleep off what
was considered Jag" as the sec
ton men had seen him travelling
the track for couple of days in an
intoxicated condition with a large
bottle. About s p. m. when Mr. Tai
bot returned he was found dead. As

ed for c. F. Lyons and Jos. Belair.
