this is law of much merit and will
be of Unreasonable good to the state.
1t will prevent much tax lodging

so much lying to the assessor.
Orders had been given to the depu-

ceived from the capital as to the gov
ernor's action, but now no assess

back up the police. He said that he

PATIENT JAP
MEETS TRAINS
LOOKING FOR HIS SWEETHEART
For a Week Mi Yanoto, 1t Is Said,
Has Been Watching and
'e'A Waiting.

"a weak ago to-day Mrs. Jessie
left North Yakima for parts
unknown. Since her departure Jim
Mi Yananto, a Jap, has met every
train lat the Northern Pacific station
westbound and eastbound, waiting
for her to return. Mrs. Swacker is al
American and, it is claimed, Jim's
sweetheart Last Tuesday she called
on the police for protection, as Mi
Yanoto, she claimed, had threatened
to take her life. That day she packed
all her belonging and under Drotec-
ton of the police left North Yakima.
She asked that the police keep an
eye of Mi Yanoto until she left
town, as she feared he would attack
her and hinder her from leaving. AL.
though at the station at the time she
left, Mi Yanoto did not know that
she had gone on the train and did
not see her baggage loaded in the
car.
Mi Yanoto alleges that Mrs.
Swacker when she left took $44 Of
his money, and that is the reason he
is looking for her. He meets every
train up till about midnight, and
when it enters the tracks at the sta
ton his eyes will roll and smile
will creep across his face, but when
she does not get off the train his
read will drop and he silently leaves
the station with the hope in his
heart that she will arrive on the next
train. He does not know where she
went and therefore meets trains both
from the east and west. He said if
he knew where she was he would go
after her and bring her back.
He will not acknowledge that he
is in love with her, but says the only
reason he wants to see her is to Sc.
cure the money which she took from
him.

Normal School Notes

On Washington's birthday the
fourth year class gave an elaborate
colonial party to the school and cit
liens Of Ellensburg. The affair was
grand success in every particular
and all who attended could not help
feeling the grand old colonial at
mosphere which was held throughout
the evening. About 200 guests were
present and nearly all dressed in
the colonial costume. Every detail
of the Washington party was carried
out with old time formality. The
library, which was used for recep-
ton room. was tastefully decorated
In the national colors and a profusion
of carnations. The room was light
ed with candles in elaborate brass
candlasticks and candelabra. The
gymnasium. which was used for q
dance hall. lost its power to suggest
school athletics and suggested rath-
er through its decorations the pa
triotic occasion. The dances we're:
The Virginia reel. minuet and quad
rifles. Refreshments Of tea and cake
were served In the reception room
and punch in the dance hall. These
were served In strict old colonial
style. All who attended say this
was the best colonial dance that has
ever been given In the Normal
school.
Owing to the irregularity Of the
trains on Feb. 27th the audience
was obliged to await the arrival Of

Armbruster suggested that indi-
viduals be compelled to remove their

and made a motion to that effect.
Councilman Steinweg objected, stat
ing that the committee had gone fully
into the matter and reached the con-
clusion that it would not be expedi-
ent for a city of this class to attempt
such move. The city attorney was
of the opinion 1t would be more ex-
rensive than the other method. It
was stated the people would not pay,
that such a-bill would not place
lien upon property. Zine EN-"

a revival Of interest in basket ball.
In previous years the school never
lacked q good strong team of either
girls or boys for q contest. but this
year there has been but two match
games outside Of the school. except
one game with the Ellensburg high
school. and there has been no contest
at all by the girls except with the
classes. This lack Of interest II per-
haps due to the fact that the most
enthusiastic players have left and
the athletics are lacking . good

Of interest Is that the nrst subject
chosen for the debate this semester
