To Establish Headquarters.

The Yakima Boosters club will
establish headquarters in Seattle
and Spokane during portion Of
July. The national convention Of
the B. Y. P. U. will take place in
Spokane in July and Secretary W. E.
Zuppann, and possibly another boost
er, will be located in that city. The
Christian Endeavor convention VIII
take place in Seattle at about the
same time and probably headquar-
tiers will be established in that city.
The office in Spokane will be near
the depot, so that the boosters will
be in close touch with those arriving
over the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern. In this manner It
is hoped to reach all of the excur-
sionists and give them all an oppor-
tunity to sample Yakima fruit.

Not To Raise
Beach Street

A special meeting of the city
council was held Monday evening in
the city hall to decide on the ques-
ton of raising the grade of the Beach
street sewer. The mayor objected
to raising the grade and it will re-
main as it is at present.
Contractor Darlington asked that
the present grade be raised two feet,
stating 1t is almost impossible to
make excavations at the present
grade. The men are now down about
Is feet, he said, and the sides cave
in as soon as gravel is taken out. He
stated that it will facilitate the work
of building the sewer if the grade is
raised and will not interfere in the
least with the flow of the water.
Engineer Noble advised If the
grade is raised two feet It will re-
duce the efficiency of the s. yer, and
allow only foot ba merit, or in
sufficient to drain the business Sec
ton.

Mix This at Home.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of Rheumatism
by forcing the kidneys to filter from
the blood and system all the uric
acid and poisonous waste matter, re-
lieving at once such symptoms as
backache, weak kidneys and bladder
and blood diseases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach
Get the following harmless ingre-
dents from any good pharmacy:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparil-
la, three ounces. Mix by shaking
we'll in a bottle, and take a teaspoon
full after each meal and again at
bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases of Rheumatism and Kidney
troubles it will fail to cure perma-
nently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department
If not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rath-
er than fail to use this. if you are
afflicted.

quick opening of Selah street. They
desire a 60 foot roadway and state
that at the present time the owner Of

Of lot Is is also willing to do the
same, but are not certain at the pres

STATE POLL TAX VALID.
City Law, Not State Law, Declared
Unconstitutional.

The state poll tax law is consti-
tutional The recent decision Of
Judge Shell in the case of the town
of Sumner VS.. E. Platter, in which
the city poll tax law was declared
unconstitutional, does not cover the
state poll tax law.
The state law provides that every
male inhabitant of this state be
tween the ages of 81 and so years,
outside the limits of an incorporated
city or town, shall pay annually a
road poll tax Of 50. This tax shall
be due March 1 of each year. All
poll taxes shall be paid into district
road and bridge fund of the district
in which it is collected. The Law
was passed by the state legislature
in 1905.
BY the recent decision of Judge
Smell, in which the town of Summer
enacted an ordinance for the collec.
ton of city poll tax, the ordinance
is unconstitutional, but the decision
does not involve the state poll tax
law. The state poll tax law only
covers male inhabitants outside the
limits of the incorporated cities OF

WATER CASES.
Cases Against Shannafelt
Still in Court.

When the superior court convened
Monday the contempt case against
j. Shannafelt, one of the AHtanum
ranchers, wis still on trial and was
not completed when court adjourned
at o'clock in the evening. During
the afternoon the attorneys argued
upon the validity of the decree of the
superior court, which allowed w
ians water enough to irrigate Go
acres of land on the Ahtanum, and
enjoined the several defendants from
diverting or obstructing the water
so that it would not flow upon the
land of Vivians.
Attorney Preble for the defendant
contended that the decree was in
valid on account of the amount OF
water not being stated in the decree.
He stated that although it mentioned
the miners inch, it did not give the
pressure. and unless the pressure was
given nobody knew how much water
it required. Further, he stated, 1t
was not definitely defined in the de-
cree for what 65 acres he should use
the water.

That country is always he most
prosperous whose workpeople have the
most and best home life. The most and

and the greatest prosperity of a nation
and Of all its people.
For working people, the difference
between prosperity and poverty ma
systems of education. labor or savings
which have been afforded them.
The most successful and most advan-
tageous system for working people is
that of cooperative institutions, where
by working people may help themselves
and make their own way to prosperity.
The most important conditions neces-
sary for the maintenance of a success
full cooperative savings institution are
these:
~. The development OF a high re-
spect for Christian principles. This
work is naturally, to a large extent, in
the hands of the ministers of the differ
ent Christian denominations.
(2). The developments ofinteliigence
and skill by education and training.
The development of Intelligence rests
upon the system of education provided
by the State. The execution of the
system is in the hands of teachers. The
development of skill rests upon the
system of industry or labor fostered by
the State. The execution of the system

conditions. But the labor of a country
is always in the most modern form and
OF the fullest value. Current abor-the

pays in 81 a month, these 500 people
