MIR. SAWYER'S LETTER.

In another portion of this morn
tng's Herald appears letter from
William P. Sawyer of Parker. In
part the letter is in answer to a
communication from a Mere Citi-
zen" printed few days ago in The
Herald. Mr.. Sawyer's letter de-
scribes in detail come of the diff
culties encountered by the old Inter
Valley Traction company and some
which are being met with by the
Yakima Transportation company
which is taking over the Interval
ley lines. The letter is one which
should be read by every citizen OF
Yakima county This most impor-
tant move-a move for transporta-
ton locally in the valley-has been
discussed ever since any such enter
prise was even talked of. AS is gen
orally the case with proposition of
this nature the promoters have been
criticised rather freely. No one
knows Of the hardships encountered
and of the hardships endured by the
few men who risked capital to place
in the Yakima valley a complete
system of lines Which would furnish
to every citizen Of North Yakima and
TO every ia mer of this section of the
valley ample facilities. It Dis plain
that these lines will bring large
revenue when once fully in opera
ton Bur il requires a level head
TO finance such a proposition; furth-
ermore il requires an immense
amount of money The present com
pany furnishes the brain and is max
srr utf~ at MT To oil
of the money needed There can be
no doubt that the road will be con-
structed. Mr. Sawyer. who fs pro-
baby as we'll informed regarding the
inside workings OF the company as
any man, strikes a most optimistic
key and declares that the lines will
certainly be constru ted. There seems
to be absolutely no necessity for a
spirit Of condemnation. The Yaki-
ma Valley Transportation company
if work on their lines is completed
will do for the Yakima valley more
than any other one concern This
should be appreciated by the people
and instead Of placing obstacles in
the path Of the company there should
be every assistance possible render
ed. A thorough reading of Mr. Saw
yer's letter will furnish to anyone in
terested in this movement an in
sight into the difficulties which have
been net and conquered; 1t will give
an idea of just how much the road
will mean 70 the valley While, in
all proba bility. there is an opportun-
ity to criticise the methods which
have been used in certain instances
by the company. nevertheless mis-
takes have been few and those few
mistakes which have been made
were such as to be easily excusable

THE PLEA OF A MOTHER.

Some time ago The Herald start
cd an agitation for the removal OF
me restricted district. Pastors, pro-
fessional men, business men, all
classes agreed that the present loca-
ton of the restricted district is a
menace to the city. Some men who
own property in that section refused
to be quoted; one refused to be quot
cd in print, but said privately he
could not see the advantage in hav-
ing the district removed. In this
mornings Herald is communica-
ton from a well known woman of
the city. This woman is mother of
a sweet-faced, bright-eyed, and an
intelligent little girl. With the moth
er the little girl was in a carriage
Tuesday passing "a street near the
restricted district and she was COM
PEELED to see sights which should not
be tolerated in any section. The
mother makes plea for her child.
and for the children Of other moth
ers. She demands that the innocent
be protected from such sights as
these; that the pure-minded little
boys and girls be kept as long as
possible from being subjected to con-
tamination with the worst forms of
vice. 1t would be we'll for North
Yakima if the voice of the mother
could be raised so that all of the city
could hear. Aside from the moral
influence the effect on the business
district of the city is bad when
these houses of ill epute are situat-
ed at the back door of the CONNER
cial houses.
1t is high time that some steps
be taken to rid the heart of the city
of this evil. If the evil is necessary,
as some claim, it is by no means
necessary to allow these dens Of vice
to be located where the children of
the best citizens will be compelled to
pass next fall when they go to school.
The revenue derived from these plac-
es may mean much to the city, but
it can mean no more than does the
purity and sanctity of the home: the
innocence of the children means to
the father and mother.
The plea of this parent should be
read and considered. Other parents
have the same stories to tell, but
to public print.
Not long ago the chief of police
and his men were called to the re-
stricted district to put down a small
riot, caused by the parasites who
secure their livelihood from the i'll
gotten gains of the tenants of thu
underworld Revolver shots were
fired and it was only by a miracle
that murder did not result. Sucf
deeds as these, tolerated within q
block or so of the leading thorough
fares are disgraceful.

Yesterday announcement was made
that the appointment of Logan H.
Roberts as humane officer has been
approved and that an active cam
paign will be started to increase the
membership of the society. This
is a work which should receive the
hearty approval of every man, wo-
man and child in the county. No
more distressing sight than that of
an animal abused. No more distress
ing sight than the mistreatment OF
a dumb creature that is doing all in
its power to serve its master. The
general moral tendencies of the COM
may be greatly uplifted If
every one with any feeling of kind
ness whatsoever will take a hand to
make this movement strongly felt
throughout the county and to assist
the humane officer in every possible
manner in his labors, which will by
no means be easy.

PAVING.

Some time ago The Herald called

council was rather dilatory in max
ing a move toward paving the city.

aid made this statement on a pre-
vious occasion an awful howl went
I'D from some of the councilmen,
who stated that the matter was be-
ing rushed and that North Yakima
would certainly be paved this sum-
mer. Now some of these same coun-
cilmen express doubt as to whether
even bids will be received on the
paving work. The season is becom-
ing advanced and with the red tape
required there seems absolutely no
chance of doing any work OF impor-
lance toward pavements, and there
is apparently another winter OF mud
dy roads in sight. 1t seems probable
that if active steps were started now
that pavement could be placed by
next summer. but not large amount

LABOR SCARCITY,

The demand for laboring men in
this section increases, and with 1t
is a raise in wages. At the present
time the ranches are absorbing near
ly all of the surplus labor and the
railroads and government projects
have a difficult time. Every attempt
has been made in the government
camps to provide excellent quarters
for the men. Neatness and cleanli-
ness is demanded and excellent food
cooked by a competent chef is fur
nished. Wages are good and yet
there is the same difficulty in secur-
ing men. At the same time the box
cars are full of hoboes and apparent
ly a few of these prefer labor on the
chain gang without remuneration to
easier work with freedom and good
pay The hobo is the greatest detri-
ment to the west, apparently

BETTER DAIRY CONDITIONS.

Much interest has been aroused in
the Herald's suggestion that some
method of county milk inspection be
established. There can be no doubt,
after the many reports of Inspector
Adams, that there are some condi-
tons radically wrong in connection
with number OF places in the coun-
ty used for the separation OF cream.
An inspection seems to be crying
need and many have stated that some
move should be made in that direc.
ton for the benefit of the health of
the people.

WRECK CAUSE

STATED

SAN FRANCISCO July 30.-The
testimony of the officers of the San
Pedro before Captain Birmingham
today demonstrated clearly that the
habit of coast shippers said to be
practically universal, of running
their vessels at full speed regardless
of fog, was mainly responsible for
the wreck of the Columbia and its
terrible consequences. Chief Mate
Hendrickson, who was in charge OF
the San Pedro at the time of the col
lision, testified that when he first
heard the fog signals of the Colum-
bia he did not slow down and wheD
the passenger vessel doomed cut OF
the fog 1t was too late to do any
thing but try to make the collision
as slight as possible. When he
sighted the Columbia, according to
his testimony, the boats were not
more than length apart and not

the requirements of the advanced reg

gave 1924 pounds of milk, averaging

would make 539.O7 pounds of butter
