half way He is making arrange
for the biggest seasons work that
has ever been done in that line in
North Yakima. He has secured the
services of Chas. D. Walker of Seat

Personal Opinions
Little Interviews with Every
body about Everything.
Observation-Disclosures,

William Thompson-Yo should
see the difference between this coun-
try and that in the vicinity of Leb-
anon, Ore. ! was down there short
time ago. They are selling land in
that vicinity for $40 and $50 an acre
and crow about the price and the
lands productiveness. They should
try to purchase some land in this vi
entity. North Yakima is the best
place in the northwest. That's the
way it looks to me, anyway.
Dr.. J. E. Banks-It seems to me
as if there is waste waste of money
on street work. Last winter rocks
we're hauled to fill mud holes at the
intersection OF Sixth and a streets.
Now comes a crew who spend much
time in digging and raking up those
stones, and then they are carted away
to some other place. Again at the
same place, after the street bitches
were cleaned a team came along and
hauled that soil away. l suggested
to the men in charge that it would
be cheaper to put that refuse in the
low places in the adjacent street
Today they are carting the same
kind of material down there to fill
up the same depressions to which
called their attention. It it any Won
der our taxes are high?
Supt. D. c. Reed-North Yakima
will have one of the finest high
school buildings in the northwest
1t is the aim of the board TO have
it modern in every respect with up
to-date equipment The school will
branch out in several new lines next
year and the work will be started
with everything in first class condi-
ton.
Ned Hill, advance AGENT like
North Yakima better than any other
of the smaller towns which l have
seen in the west. 1t looks good to
me from all standpoints and they
tell me it is a good show town, too.
Jack Kauffman-There is no use
attempting to back out of paying
the poll tax. If people are citizens
of this city it is up to them to pay
the tax and l am here to collect it.
W. B. Chase, expert engineer
When l am through with the plans
and specifications for the paving to
be done in this city everything will
be in readiness for first class paving
throughout North Yakima will have
very beautiful streets, in particular,
Matches avenue. The system of
drainage will be changed in a man
ner to make it much more sanitary
than it has been

HONORS CLAIM.
Northern Pacific Remunerates Henry
Williams Handsomely.

The Northern Pacific claim agent
has adjusted the claim Of Henry Will
liams, in which he alleged that he re-
ceived serious injuries in the wreck
of Northern Pacific train No. Is at
Ellensburg some time ago. The COM
pany settled for practically $500.
The injuries sustained were chiefly
in the right leg and necessitated two
distinct operations Included in the
adjustment Of the claim was the ex-
pense connected with caring for and
operating upon Williams in Seattle.

Western Canada's Air Castle.

For several years, and the past
two in particular, western Canada has
attracted more or less attention of
the farmer, grazer and grower, ow-
ing to the spasmodic efforts towards
concerted action on the part Of the
Canadian government, the c. P. R +,
and numerous land sharks of various
stripes, who are interested for OBJ
vious reasons in bringing settlers in
to that country, and that their efforts
in getting the prospective victim
there have been realized in meas
ur is shown by the fact that during
the past summer and fall the passen-
ger traffic west of Winnipeg was
crowded to such an extent that it
was necessary for the C. P. R., that
plutocratic corporation, to put on
extra trains to accommodate" the
traffic of passengers in the mad rush
to the so-called Eldorado that is to
many persons, a land that is always
somewhere else than in the material
present.
In regard to this boom, for boom
1t is, and any other name is a SUBJ
terfuge, it is we'll to observe that a
great many of the people who have
gone up into that country expecting
to stay, have gone back to where they
came from as soon as their befogged
visions have become clear. Cana
da is no exception, for the case is the
eaine in any new country. Such
condition as exists in Canada has ex-
listed in Washington with this differ
ence: Washington being spanned
by two transcontinental railways with
numerous tributaries and immediate
probabilities of vast extension
throughout the state, whereas, so
far Us we can see, the c. P. r. still
holds the bulk of the new Canadian
country in its monopolizing clutches,
and with only remote possibility of
