FOR the STATE INSTITUTIONS
Representative Cameron Says State
Fair Will Get Its Share
Talks of Assembly's Work.

Representative S. j. Cameron came
home from Olympia Thursday even
ing to preside at the Bobbie Burns
anniversary banquet at the Hotel
Washington on Friday evening.
Speaking of matters at the legis-
lature this winter Mr.. Cameron stat
ed that things were running smooth
ly in both houses and that both bod
les were endeavoring to accomplish
as much work as possible in the linn
tied time of the session. Mr.. Cam
eron believes there will be bill in
troduced for the benefit of the diff
ferent institutions of the state suffi-
GENTLY large to give relief in the way
OF new buildings, repairs and main
tenance.
The state fair will get its share.
The west side representatives want
good stiff appropriation for the
AlaskaY " kon exposition and Mr..
Cameron believes that the bill will
be so arranged that the appropria-
ton will be granted and levy Gov
ering two or three years made, which
will be Insignificant in itself but as
sist the fair and at the same time add
materially to the assets of the state
university, as the directors of the
fair have agreed that they will put
up buildings and make Improvements
upon plans approved by the uni
versity regents and which will be of
great value to the university afte.
the fair is over. Some of the other
state institutions are in need of
more room, notably the state reform
school at Chehalis 1t is proposed by
some to erect a building upon the
state lands near this city and place
the boys here so they can be taught
farming.

The president on Monday sent to
the senate the name of Alfred G..
Steinman of Ellensburg to be receiv-
er of public monies in the United
States land office at North Yakima.
This removes the least doubt about
the filing of the position and means
that Yakima will gain an inestimable

and the Capital cordially commends
Captain Steinman and his wife to the
citizens here.
He will at once put his affairs in

CONTRACTOR MUST
REPAIR THE BRIDGE
CARRIED OUT BY FLOOD AND ICE
Mail for Mckee Will BE Taken Out
Every Other Day for Pres
ent Via Yakima City.

The Mckee bridge is now complete.
ly out of commission, about 60 feet
of the bridge has been washed out
by the ice jam and all travel has
been suspended except via Old Town
and the Union Gap bridge. A por-
tion of the temporary structure wal
washed out Tuesday. about 40 feet,
and the other 20 feet went out
Wednesday.
A gentleman who drove from
Mckee to this city Wednesday even
ing by the way of Old Town stated
that he came across at least four or
five wagons of hay which had been
overturned trying to travel the
rough road, and several loads of lum-
Der which had been abandoned. Com
missioner Sinclair stated last even
ing that the contractor who built
this portion of the bridge had been
notified to repair the bridge, and he
will start the work at the earliest
possible moment. The pile driver IL
now on the way from Wapato and
the work will be commenced as soon
as it arrives.
A citizen OF the Mckee called on
Mr.. Sinclair yesterday and asked If
the commissioners would allow him
to build a temporary ferry across the
| river. Mr.. Sinclair stated that he
thought there would be no objection,
but this would have to come up be-
fore the next meeting, which is the
first Monday in February.
The commissioners have nothing
whatever to do with the repairing of
! the bridge but to order the con-
tractor to do the necessary work, as
! it was on account of false work that
the bridge was washed out, and Mr..
Sinclair stated that his work is not
completed until the bridge is render
ed serviceable and safe.
Until the bridge is repaired the
Mckee people are cut off from the out
side world, and the only means they
have of travel to this valley is via
the Union Gap bridge. This is a
very dangerous route, especially at
this time OF the year when the road
is rough and frozen, and necessitates
| about eight miles more of travel. AT
| some portions of the route 1t Is i'm
possible for two teams to pass. I'm
til the bridge is repaired and made
ready for travel no shipments Of hay

THE MOTHERS USEFULNESS.

my mother isn't old; she seems
Just as young as any Of U.S." remark
ed a young girl to her companions.
"She plays with US just like any
other girl"
II wish my mother did," replied
one Of the group. "But she's always
busy whit other things. and l guess
she is older than your mother. She
looks So"
The writer happened to know that
the former mother was two years the
senior Of. the second. Moreover, she
was not overburdened with wealth.
and had three children to look after.
She did her own homework. while
the other mother employed q SER
want, and had only two children.
The relative difference in their ages
was q matter tersely summed up by
their daughters.
One was old because she felt old,
and did not know how to keep her
youth. The other was young be-
cause she had made it point to be
one with her children, and not grow
old faster than they did. She was
never too tired to play and laugh
with them, and what interested them
always enlisted her sympathy and
interest. She was SO perenntally
youthful that she would stop in the
midst of dishwashing to enthuse
over q nosegay OF wild-fowers
brought to her by the children. She
would in all probability recall some
pleasant experience of her own in
picking wili-fowers, which would
make the children decide at once
that she had a most interesting
childhood.
One day the writer found her seat
cd on the grass explaining to five
children all about the habits Of a
snail which one Of them had found
in the grass. Near by was tub Of
water with unwashed clothes in it..
She laughingly rose from the grass
and said:
There! I've neglected my clothes
to tell you about that snail. l must

through I'll tell you how I once
found a snail and kept it for q pet
for q whole summer"

the quick response from one.
mot until these clothes are hung
out to dry. dear"
"We'll help you."
Ten eager little hands assisted
voluntarily to wiring and spread out
the clothes on the grass. and the
washing was got rid Of in a hurry,
but it was made a pleasure rather
than duty. Then. true to her word,
the youthful mother got her sewing
and under the shade of q large tree,
told not only one story Of snail
but half Q dozen others which the
first recalled. The ring OF delighted
listeners finally reluctantly returned
to their play. and the mother went
back to the house to prepare tn
