man. The three are here with a view
to making investments. One Of them
remarked: This country looks
good to u.s. 1t is by far the best we
have seen anywhere. Your town
has that air of prosperity about it
that makes the stranger stop and
take notice at once. From all we
can learn this valley has a future
that few countries can boast"
The gentlemen are being shown
about by Z. J. Haasze of Summit
View, who says he Is determined that
the gentlemen will see all there Is
to be seen in order that they may do
some tall boosting for Yakima when
they get back to North Dakota.

these men will boost the town upon
every occasion offered and will also
create occasions. Unlike many plac-

North Yakima has something worth
advertising and worth advertising

that money spent by the committee
will be wasted. 1t will return to the
person assisting many times over.

FOR INSPECTION.
Col. John Kinzie Will Be Here on
April 8.

Inspection Of Comply E Will take
place this year on April s. Col
John Kinzie, the well known inspec-
ton officer, will put the boys
through their PAGES. Last year
Companp E stood second in the
state, having standing of over 95
per cent, being second to Company
D Of Seattle.
Company E promises to have the
largest Banquet ever in this city. Ar.
rangements were made some time
ago to divide the company int
teams. each team to bring In re-
cruit. Those teams not furnishing
recruit are to stand the expense OF
a banquet. Two recruits are In
sight. At this rate the banquet
promises to be a very sumptous az
fair.

fidence in the people and in the be
city will arise to the occasion ami
give every assistance in their power
to make this last move an unquali-
fed success.
Another suggestion was made at
the last meeting OF the Commercial
club, suggestion which is meeting
with much approval by men interest
ed. This is to lower the member
ship fees of the organization, the
proposition being TO cut them in half.
While the club has been an organi-
cation which has been of much serv-
ice to the city, it is now waking UP
and taking notice and gives promise
of furnishing an impetus which will
result in no ending. If the PROPOSE
ton to lower the fees goes into eff
feet a new life will be felt by the
club, many will enter who before
felt they could not afford TO do so.
What is lost by the cutting down of
the fees will be gained in the num-
Der of members added. 1t is better to
have a body of 200 men paying $40
than a body of 100 men paying $40.
The more members, the wider in
fuence has the club. More people
are kept in touch with the organiza-
tion and consequently more good
results. The membership should in
clude everyone in North Yakima who
is interested in the town and every
one that will help to boost. A low
err membership fee will materially
assist in this manner.

SECURING ALL THEY CAN
At KiOna and Work VIII
Be Rushed.

The North Coast railroad is aver
Using for all of the men that can be
secured for construction work which
is now going on in the vicinity OF
Kiona. Contractor j. s. Washtock.
in charge of the work, expects to
place 500 men at construction work
at once of they can be secured.
1t is believed that a large force
will be employed for year or more
in the vicinity of Kiona. as that is an
important point on the road, it be-
ing expected that that place will be
a junction point for two branches.
Labor Is somewhat scarce just at
the present time and wages are also
high, it is stated. 1t is said that in
the vicinity of Kiona farm hands
are in demand and they are paid
considerable for their labors.
In a recent talk President Stra-
horn intimated that work will be
started in North Yakima as soon as
the trouble with the Northern Pa
cific IS settled satisfactorily, and II
the court decides favorably. as peo-
pie in this vicinity 1t will, for the
North Coast road, large force OF
men will be placed at work in this
vicinity as soon as possible.
It is understood that work will be
carried on from North Yakima to.
ward Tacoma and from this vicinity
eastward. This work would proba-
bly, have started before II the road
had not been blocked by litigation.
The scarcity Of labor may be a seri.
Gus menace to the progress of the
road when actual construction Il
started on a large scale.
The recent decision concerning
the exclusion Of japanese labor will
also effect the building Of railroads
to large extent.

THE "MARSEILLAISE."
lt Was Written by Rouset de LisIe In
One Brief Hour,

On April 20, 1892, Rouget de Lisle,
the military engineer, who had assum-
ed the arstocratic prefix to become an
officer, was Il guest at banquet given
by Baron Dietrich, first mayor of
Strassburg.
Patriotic excitement was at its
height. "Marchons!' AUX armes, cito-
yens" were phrases on every lip. But
as the champagne went round the Ia
dies grew weary and pleaded for an
other topic. Patriotic songs? A hymn
for the army of the Rhine? Something
better than the jingling "Ca ira" The
host first suggested public competi-
ton and a prize. Then he turned to
Rouget de Lisle and asked him to
compose a noble song for the French
people"
Rouget de Lisle tried to excuse him
self. Again the champagne passed
round, and just as the party broke up
fellow officer about to quit Strassburg
next day begged De Lisle for copy of
his forthcoming song.
81 make the promise on behalf Of
your comrade." Dietrich replied.
Rouget de Lisle reached his lodging
close by, but not to sleep. His violin
lay ON the table. Taking it up, he
struck a few chords. Soon a melody
seemed to grow under his fingers. No
sooner had he put down the notes than
he dashed off the words.
Thus having in brief hour secured
for himself an undying name he threw
himself upon his bed and slumbered
heavily.--Reader Magazine.
