GEN. MGR. RANKIN REPORTS
TO BOARD OF TRUSTEES
REORGANIZATION MUST BE
ARRANGED TO CLOSE DEAL
Certainty That Yakima Valley Trans
pOrtatiOn Company Will
Extend Lines.

G. s. Rankin, general manager of
the Yakima Valley Transportation
company, submitted to the board of
trustees of that company, at the
meeting held yesterday afternoon a
definite financial plan for building its
proposed system of electric railways
radiating from the city of North
Yakima into the various surrounding
valleys.
Mr.. Rankin has just returned from
the east, where he succeeded in in
teresting a strong combination of
capitalists in the local electric enter
prise, and plan has been submitted
looking to the furnishing of the
money necessary to building the en-
tire system. The proposed system
comprises the extension of the pres
ent line to the AAtanum Academy,
the building of a line distance of
IL miles into the Mckee valley, and
the extension of the Playground line
through Yakima City, Parker Bottom
and Zillah to Granger and Sunny
side, a total of about 20 miles Of rail-
road.
1t is understood that the parties
who will take hold of this enterprise
are strong men financially and expe-
rienced in electric railway cdnstruc-
ton and are amply able to build and
equip the system of railways prompt
ly. They are also men who are we'll
acquainted with local conditions and
have great confidence in the future
of the state of Washington.
Details of the plan submitted
could not be obtained, but it is I'M
derstood they contemplate a reor-
sanitation of the company and an in
crease of capital stock.
The plan was favorably received by
the board, and 1t adjourned until
next Saturday to further consider de-
tails of the matter, when 1t is prob
able that some definite action will
be taken looking to the consumma-
ton of the deal.
Construction work on the crossing
over the Northern Pacific railroad
tracks on Yakima avenue will be
commenced this week, all material
being on the ground. Poles for the
East Yakima avenue line are expect
ed soon and early in August. or per-
haps at an even earlier date, cars
will be running entirely through the
business district.

danger of winter killing II Rcd Rust

We are so positive that we can cure constipation, no matter how chronic it may be that we offer to furnish the medicine free of all cost if we fail.
 It is worse than useless to attempt to cure constipation with cathartic drugs. Laxatiyes or cathartics do much harm. They cause reaction, irritate and weaken the bowels and make constipation more chronic. Be- sides, their use becomes habit that is often dangerous and often fatal
 Constipation is caused by weakness of the nerves and muscles of the large intestine or descending colon To ex- pect cure you must therefore tone up and strengthen those organs and restore them to healthier activity.
 The discovery of the active prin- ciple of our remedy evolved the labor of the worlds greatest research chem ists. It possesses all the best quail ties of the remedial active principle of the best known intestinal tonics. and it is particularly prompt in it's results.

The Forrest City Concert Band.
"Oh, listen to the band. !"

At last Forrest City has the pros pect of a good band. Several months ago a number of the young men of the city got together and under the leadership of MT. Chas. II. Miller, or ganized the Forrest City Concert Band. Instruments were purchased and practise work was progressing when MT. Miller, through press of other work was compelled to give up his place as instructor. Prof. Frank Mclean, of Paragould, was then en- gagged to instruct the youngsters, giv- ing them two lessons week. After about nine lessons under this capable instructor, the boys appeared before the public three or four weeks ago and surprised their hearers by render ing several very pretty selections on the streets and at the Air Dome, which was then running.
 Another surprise was in store for the public when on Tuesday night at the performance of The Sweetest Girl in Dixie" the band appeared at the Becker X Lewis opera house and delighted the large and appreciative audience with some excellent music during the waits for the curtain.
 The following young gentlemen compose the band, at least, that part of it, which appeared at the opera house Tuesday night;
 Will Brown, Ed Wolff, Beatty Thomas, comets; Dick Payne, Will Pope, Walter Stevens, clarionets: Ben Lewis, saxaphone; James Gatling, Eanest Hamelton, George Eldridge, altos: C. NJ. Henderson, tuber; Chas. Prude, John Brown, Jim Thompson, trombones; Roger Crews, baritone James Alley, bass drum, Lawrence Marshall, snare drum. Prof Mclean, leader, cornet.
 Considering that these boys have only been practising for few months not more than twelve or fifteen lessons-at most under their present instructor, they did exceedingly well and deserve the appreciation of the public. Each player has purchased his own instrument and is paying for his own lessons.
 We commend the public spirited ness of these young men in their eff forts to provide the city with first class musical organization, and look forward to many pleasant evenings, spent in "listening to the band y
 We understand that it is their in- tention, after while, to organize an orchestra, which will furnish music for dances and other occasions where one is needed
