 The sweetest word in the English language is mother, and the person who does not realize the sacredness of this word is certainly with out con science. or feeling. How truly 1t can be said of the true woman, Happy Is man who makes her his wife; happy is the child that calls her mother. have in mind fragments of beautiful story once heard of a young mans devo- ton to his mother. A poor widowed mothers only hopes were centered in her only child, a son. She was very anxious that he should obtain com plete education and for this reason she Iabored hard and long. Her son was diligent pupil, and on the oc- casion of his graduation he desired the presence of his mother. When the President presented him with the medal of honor, can you imagine the surprise of his classmates as he proud ly marched through the audience and stooping down kissed the withered cheek of an old lady shabbily dressed and with fond, proud smile presented his medal to his mother saying. Mother this rightly belongs to you. do not deserve it. You earned It yourself. This act of true rnanliness. true nobility. strongly appealed 10 the hearts Of his hearers. There is no picture upon earth so beautiful and in spring to humanity as that of noble Christian mother, and no woman should assume that dear and precious name until she has first asked the guidance and help, and has implicit trust and abiding faith in her Heaven ly Father. If she does this she need have no fears of the great responsi- blitles placed upon her weak shoul- ders. We have heard gray-haired men and women say: "All that l am for time and eternity owe 10 my precious mother" Shakespeare, believe 1t vas, said the pure, genuine christian lady was the grandest of all Gods creation, and woman when mean is far meaner than man knows how 10 be.

A Rich Man.

Contentment is the best riches. An old farmer who was asked If a neighbor was man of means, re- piled: "He hash nt got much money, but he is mighty rich
 "He has great deal of land thenp" was the question.
 No sir; he hasn't got much land either, but he is mighty rich.
 The old farmer with pleasant smile observed the puzzled look of his companion for a moment and then explained
 You see. he hasn't got much money and he hasn't got much land. but still he is rich. because he never went tc bed owing man a cent in his life. He lives as well as he wants to live, and he pays as he goes; he isn't afraid of anybody, he tells every man the truth, and does his duty by him. self, his family and his neighbors; his word is as good as his bond. and every man. woman and child in town looks up to him and respects him. No sir, h. hasn't got much land. but he is a mighty rich man. because he's got all he wants.

Structure.

Plans have been prepared for the
new two story building which will
probably be erected this summer by
F. D. Clemmer. The new structure
will be on the vacant lot on Second

have a basement besides the two
stories. The first floor will be used
for store purposes and there will be
room for a large store. The second
story will be divided into suites fitted
handsomely with baths and all the
conveniences. Mr.. Clemmer is al
most certain that the building will
be erected and is now securing bids
for the work.

Holds Man i'm Water IL Hours.

A life saving blanket which In
view of the recent Sound disaster
where so many lives were lost by
the sinking of the Larchmont, ought
to be of great interest to Americans,
has been tried by the naval authori-
ties at KEEL.
The blanket is able to float three
grown men for more than IS hours.
1t looks and feels exactly like an
ordinary wooden article, has no dis
agreeable odor and is the invention
of Danish pilot.
The experiments at Kiel showed
that the blanket could float a solid
lump Of iron weighing so pounds for
As hours, and that a belt of the same
size as the ordinary life belt, but
weighing less than one pound, would
keep a man above water even after
having been soaked in water for IL
hours.
1t is the intention of the navy de.
partment to adopt the life saving
blanket on all government vessels
and it is also said that the two great
transatlantic steamship companies a,

MANY NEW ENGINES
OVER THREE HUNDRED TO BE
IN USE By JULY 1
Many of These For Newly Created
Washington Division
Condition of Lines.

In the past few weeks the North
ern Pacific has received forty-five
new engines, and before July 1st it
is believed there will be fully 200
engines delivered to the road. BY
July / 1t is stated there will be fully
800 more new engines operating on
the road than there were year pre-
vious.
This will mean about 1870 new en-
gines for the western division by the
LIST of July, good share of them to
be operating on the new Washington
division. Most of the engines are
of the "Mikado" type, while there
are also a large number called
"prairies. Out of the 800, there
will be 20 switch engines, probably
about Is of these to be used on the
new Washington division. 1t is
stated that there are now but 1900
cars awaiting transportation. These
cars are east Of Fargo, N. D.
When the blockade was raised
there were 5000 cars east of that
point, and despite the fact that there
are still bad storms in North Dakota,
the railroad company is succeeding
in cleaning up the delayed freight
In a rapid manner 1t is said that
the last winter was the worst ever
experienced in North Dakota, and
that the wind was monster to con-
tend against. 1t is stated that as far
as hauling freight is concerned, the
lines are back. in as good condition
as they were previous to the wash
outs.

is perfectly white, the other is jet
black, and the girl is bright mu-
latto. The children are large, well
formed and are thriving. Davis and
his wife are practically white. though
both have negro blood in their veins
Physicians offer no explanation Of

is without precedent.

SPEAKS HIGHLY.
OF Work Done by Representative
Cameron at Olympia.

Senator Walter J. Reed, recent
Gently returned from Olympia, speaks
very highly of the work done by
Representative S. G. Cameron dur
ing the session OF legislature just
closed.
"If Representative Cameron had
not been right on deck every min
ute," states Senator Reed, "the APP
preparation for the Yakima State
Fair would have been so badly lost
In the shuttle that Yakima people
would still be searching for 1t. We
put up great fight for that money
the greatest fight ever put up in q
Washington legislature, and 1t was
certainly we'll earned.
Representative Cameron was on
hand every minute and displayed re-
markable legislative ability in the
manner in which he engineered the
appropriation for Yakima. There
appeared to be desire to shut on
the state fair altogether and the OBJ
1ect no doubt was to eventually close
the state fair and open another one
in different part of the state. But
we choked that measure and here.
after. things have been so arranged
that North Yakima will have its share
Of the legislative pie and will get a
good chunk. too"

At noon Monday Deputy Sheriff
Grant received telegram from the
Northern Pacific Waterman at Pasco
informing him that mail pouch con-
tanning mail had been found at that
station in box car. 1t could not be
learned definitely last evening wheth-
er it was a North Yakima pouch OF
not. Postmaster Lemon stated that
he did not know of anything missing
from the local office since the rob-
berry Saturday morning. About six
weeks ago an Ellensburg mail bag
was lost, and possibly the pouch
found at Pasco contains Ellensburs
mail. Numerous postoffice breaks
have been made in Idaho, eastern
and central Washington, and the Of
hcials are lead to believe that gang
Is working Systematically through
the states. A reward of $500 man
is offered for the conviction of the
yeggmen.
1t has been learned through an
official that the robbery at the To-
cal postoffice Saturday morning was
committed by a gang of at least five.
The officers have been working on
the matter for several days, and an
official has been out in the country
on two or three occasions, evidently
working on the case. Postal inspector
Backus arrived in the city last Sat
urday night and has since been work
ing in connection with the officials
in an endeavor to find a clue. In
spector Backus left North Yakima
on an east-bound train at an early
hour this morning, but it could not
be learned whether or not local
official accompanied him.
With the finding of the mail pouch
at Pasco a new light is placed on the
recent robbery. Although Postmas.
ter Lemon does not know of any mai

robbers may have taken pouch
when they left. The postmaster al
Ellensburg stated last night that the
bag which had been lost belonging
to that office did not contain any
thing more than letters. The official:
are reluctant about giving out in
formation, but it is known they are
pleased over the developments which
came to light Sunday, but which the,
refuse to divulge.
One of the men working on thu
case walked three miles into the
country Sunday, and it is believed re
ceived some word of the robbers, al
this official appeared confident upot
his return.
