SHOU LID PROTECT GRADE
CROSSINGS.

The people OF North Yakima are
wisely demanding that the railway
grade crossings in that city be pro-
tected by gates maintained and op-
Grated BY the railway company with
due regard TO the safety of the pub
lie. A recent fatality in that city,
one man being killed ana anothe
seriously injured, has called atten-
ton to the subject, and as raising
OF lowering Of the tracks through the
city is not now practicable the only
recourse is to gates
North Yakima is justified in call
ing for these protective measures at
the crossings. Responsibility for the
recent accident was placed by the cor
oAers jury on the railway company
or its train employees. A rate Of
speed, il is said, was being main
tanned that should not be permitted
within city limits where there are
frequent crossings in constant use.
So long as no accident occurred the
dangerous conditions continued to
exist without much attention being
paid TO them. 1t sometimes needs a
severe lesson to arouse public senti-
ment and to force railroad companies
to have regard for public rights.
While gates at crossings are not
always a sure safeguard, they can
be made a means of protection from
can ger. In this city there have been
several accidents at crossings where
gates have been provided, but have
not been properly operated. A faith
full Waterman in charge is as essen
tial as the gates themselves
Every city of any importance along
line of railway where there is con
siderable driving back and forward
OF where the crossings are in gen.
eral use by pedestrians. ought to be
protected Human lives are OF much
more concern than the trihing ex-
pense that would have TO be In.

Land Too Valuable
For the Alfalfa

About half million fruit

year in The Yakima valley. ac-
eordins to J. NJ. Perry OF North
Yakima. AR. Perry is at the
head Of two commission firms,
]. NJ Perry & Co. of North
Yakima, and the Perry Commits
sion company Of Tacoma.
Mr.. Perry says that land in
the Yakima is getting so valu-
able that the growers are plow-
ing up their alfalfa fields and
growing fruit instead. No
damage was done in the valley
by frosts and the prospects are
for large crops.
THE farmers received good
prices for their crops this year
and made lots Of money" Mr..
Perry said. There are scarce
" any potatoes left and the cold
storage houses are about cleaned
out Of apples"

THE SNEEzE
In Past Ages It Played Very I'M
portant Part In Life.

Many odd notions still exist as to
sneczng, and some persons may be
heard to cXclaim Bless, my soul,
oncew "Blcss my soul, twice." and so
on after each sneezc. But in past
ages the sneeze really played very
important part.
In ancient Greece the people saluted
each other whenever any one present
CHANGED to snecze. As Ncnophon was
addressing the Greek army in a mo-
ment Of defeat on n historical occa-
sion a soldier sneczed. The lines Of
battle were formed at once, for the
sneeze was deemed good omen, and
the Greeks We're successful.
Among the Hebrews when Il person
sneezed the bystanders would say,
"Tobinz chaiim''-"A long life to YOU"
In India criminals on the rack of tor
ture have saved their own lives by
sneezing accidentally.
A humorous story about sneezing Is
told in that wonderful collection Of
oddities. "The Arabian Nights" A
schoomaster was particular in teach
Ing his pupils the value Of pollteneSs.
He also told them that whenever he
sneezed they should clap their hands
and say, Long live our noble master"
One day master and pupils went out
for a stroll. The air was hot, and all
soon grew very thirsty. Great was
their JOY at last to find well. But
the bucket was at the bottom Of the
well, and SO the schoolmaster went
down to bring it up. The boys seized
the rope and tugged for dear life. Just
as the schOolmaster reached the top Of
the we'll he sneeZed. The boys let go
the rope and clapped their hands, shout
ing, Long live our noble master.'
AS for the poor schoolmaster. he fell
to the bottom of the well, where he
may be to this day, for all one knows

MEETING A CROCODILE.
Tho Animal and the Hunters were AN
Taken by Surprise.

While looking for n hippopotamus IL
was the fortune of the autlor VI
uganda to Khartum" to encounter Il
crocodile under somewhat unusual cir
cumstances. He was following lfcSh
track leading through the dense ulder-
growth from the lake inland. Wo
men accompanied him. one carry ms
his camera and the other his second
gun. while he Shouldcrcd his rilic.
Suddenly heard ruStling noise IN
front of me and realized that some
creature was approaching, but what
II could not be the hippo, because there
was no thundcrous tread, but had no
time to think, for the creature, WHAT
ever it might be, was upon me i'll Il sec
ond.
At two yards | discovered what IL
was-an immense crocodile more thah
twelve feet long.
I was right in its path, and there was
no possible escape on either Slde, so
stood still with my rife nj shoulder
md waited. The "crOck" did not wait,
however. and in some remarkable way
It hustled me to one side, almost knock
ed me over, and cndeavored to make ms
way to the water.
To dispute his right of way would
have been folly. realized only hor-
rible. soft, wriggling mass pressing
against my legs in n most sickenlng
way. Why he did not bite me do not
know. At first thought he had done
so as he brushed against my leg, but |
found 1t was only his horny scales that
scrapcd my shin. And he was more
taken by surprise than | was and for
got all about his huge jaw and the
lasting impression he might have made
upon my legs.
After he had passed | turned to see
how the men would fare. one had got
back to the shore and SO was no longer
In view. The other man with the cam
era was the funniest sight. His head
was stuck fast in the thick brambles,
and his legs were in the air, the cam
era of course in the mud beside him.
I do not think the "crock' could have
seen him, for he had literally taken a
header into the bush, and his legs were
far above the crocodilc's jaws.

SWORDS Bent Double to Test Them.
If you have an opportunity at any

used In naval and military services
you may notice that just below the
hilt, an inch or two down the blade,
there Is n small disk of brass welded
into the blade. The meaning of this
brass might well escape any one not
possessed of well developed sense Of
curiosity Swords are subjected to
very severe tests before being issued,
and this brass piece indicates that one
Of the tests to which the sword was
subjected was to have its point bent
right back until it touched the hllt at
the brass spot. Swords that have sue
cessfully withstood this severe test are

new subscribers, all in a bunch,

relatives and reside in the prov

would have them get additional
light from what he furnished
them, when up there recently,
concerning the resources and
doings of this portion of the

shank has made good money in
Randall county since the editor
of The News landed here, some
four years ago. Selling his ranch
in this county last year Mr..
Cruikshank bought nine sections
in Yoakum county and could, if
he would, now make some $3.50
per acre on his last purchase.

and still Plains dirt is paying and

them. We have promise of just
such one, and by responsible
parties, in the near future, and
to now consent to become tail
