again this year. This diminutive car held two
doll passengers, the chauffeur and his lady.
You wound 1t up, and it sped along the floor
right merrily for few yards, when suddenly
there was a terrible shock-the catastrophel
The car came to pieces, and the unfortunate oc-
cupants were hurled into the air and fell In
pitiful heaps beside the machine. Sometimes
the realism was so intense that the luckless
motorists fell under the shattered machine. and
then their fate was too horrible to dwell upon.
You picked up the pieces, and put them to-
gether, and revived the doll corpses, and set
the car going again, and so You could
have the most exciting accidents all day long
But automobiles are veux jeu now, and even
steering balloons of the Santos Dumont type
no longer find favor with the toy manufac-
turers This Christmas, the Petit Noel-who Is
the French child's Santa Claus-will scatter
toy aeroplanes along his path. To be sure,
they have to be suspended by a string from
the chandelier, but II the string is black

Since the French caricaturists' exhibition
this spring, when Caran d'Aches wooden toys
created a furore, and all the world OF fashion
hocked to see the show and admire his "regi-
ment Of General Boum," the celebrated artists
toys have become a craze with grown folk and
children alike.
The playthings which Caran dAche has fash
toned in wood for the season of gifts are In the
form of groups representing hunting parties In
which European rulers are the principal figures.

also inspired Monsieur d'Ache. While children
OF all nationaties still cling fondly to Teddy
bears, their. elders in France are indulging
youthful fancies in the purchase of Caran
dAche's dogs; and many are the Frenchmens

all, smart motor car stands at the front en-
trance, awaiting the appearance of my lord
and lady.
Was there ever such show of dolls seen
before? They seem to be everywhere, display
ing their finery. The undress doll is away on
top shelf, because the popular doll must be in
the fashion in the way Of dress. The adult
doll, with hair done in the latest style is one
of the features of the place Baby dolls are apt
to be tiresome, but the grown-ups are always
on their best behavior.
OF course, the universal ambition to soar
in the air is represented in Toyland, otherwise
the place would be Incomplete tops which fly
up to the ceiling, tops which sing in the air,
plums, apples, pears, and other fruit dance
about most gayly. Swimming men, dancing
Scotchmen, snowballs stuffed with small toys,
and humpty dumpty circuses come in view as
you wander along; while games galore call
aloud for inspection. Toyland certainly never
was so full of splendid things for those who can
spend dollars and cents.
Take another turn, however, and we come to
Tiny Town, where the purchasing power of the
penny is best represented. Sets of kitchen
utensils, traction engines. gunboats, cruisers,
motor omnibuses, railway engines black
smiths sawyers, county council trans, light
houses, dancing ballet girls dolls furniture,
sewing sets, gold fishes In globes, minus the
eldDOTale mechanism OF the more expensive
type, but all made to work. Comical figures,
magnetic divers shooting galleries, skin ami
mails, and hundreds OF musical contrivances
priced at few cents.
In the course Of a short ramble through Toy
land 1t is impossible for us to see all that is
to be seen, but 1t is clear that Santa Claus
has never had such busy time in making ar
rangements for his Christmas eve visit
The season-according to the great toy en-
poriums whose wonderful stocks are reviewed
aboye-will probably make record from the
business standpoint. Each succeeding year
brings a growth in the demand for better class
toys; and IL is happy circumstance that the
English maker is awakening to the possibility
OF big business in this direction.
The German snatched the soldier trade from
the French, and for years maintained a prac-
tical monopoly; but in turn the German has
been completely busted by the Englishman.
In some of the largest toy places in London
this Christmas not a single foreign made sol
der will be sold. The same success is appar-
emily awaiting English enterprise in regard to
dolls houses.
Germany still holds the field as regards dolls.

- but in the course of time even TINS
phase of Toyland may undergo
a change Games bid fair to become extremely
popular. Diabolo, or "the devil on two sticks
has already captured Paris, and the demand
in London suggests the likelihood or its De-
coming a great craze there
At moment when the toy industry in France
is on the wane, the famous caricaturist Caran
d'Ache comes to the rescue Being medically
forbidden to follow his art, he turned, as a
hobby, to making wooden animals. Unable to
repress the humorous strain in his soul, he I'M
parted to his creations a mirth-provoking char
acter which has already made them the rage OF
Paris; and to Judge from the Burlington Ar
cade they will ere long become quite craze
In London.
From the cheap mechanical toy which i'm
pedes our progress through the streets, as dis
played on the pavement by the enterprising
camelot to the wonderful creations which the
Main Bleu, that paradise of French children
for nearly a century, has provided for the PAM
pered darlings of the wealthy, the predominant
ing element in the French toy of to-day is
mechanical ingenuity. Never has this been
more noticeable than in the novelties which the
manufacturers are preparing for the coming
holidays.
The average French maker of toys scorns
to offer the little ones such simple things as
our childhood knew; and the wooden doll and
woolly baa-lamb are to be found only In the
poorer districts. Dolls made of wood there
are, but the wood is only a casing for wonder
full works, and the lamb must be life-size, and
able at least to frisk.
Among the more expensive toys, and one
which will give the small boy with a gun an
opportunity to prove himself a crack shot, Is
the pigeon shooting Device which is an attrac-
tive novelty. Upon a pole about eight feet in
height cross-bar is affixed, much after the
fashion Of a parrots perch, except that the
cross-piece is mobile, and is made to swing
in circular direction by means of a simple
arrangement OF weights like those Of a cuckoo
clock At each end of the cross-bar is a colored
cardboard pigeon, with outspread wings. The
machinery is set in motion, and well-directed
shot from a toy gun knocks the bird down.
Miniature automobiles there are in plenty,
but the latest thing in the toy motor-car line
is run by electricity, and has, II you please.
a powerful electric headlight and movable
hood. 1t is doubtful, however. IL even so mag
nihcent a plaything as this can have the at

One large store building. occupied
by two establishments. was totally
destroyed and another Quilted in a
fire at Sunnyside Thursday at mid
night. the total loss being approxi-
mately $4,000 Only the hard work
of the Sunnyside fire department
saved other frame buildings in the
vicinity of the conflagration.
The fire started in the Coffin Bros.
building. occupied by the big Store, =
operated by Walter Baker. and the
Miller Vehicle Co., of which Floyd
Miller is manager. The building was
burned to the ground, and practi-
cally nothing was saved. 1t is es-
timated that the building was worth
$4,000, the stock of goods for the
store was worth $500. and the ve-
hicles worth about $4,000.

FRTITVALE FOR BETTER ROADS
Four Leading Ranchers Will Visit
the County Commissioners and
Ask Their Aid.

Better roads for Fruitvale are TO
be sought in earnest by the Fruit
vale Improvement club as a result of
the meeting held Wednesday evening
when a committee of four leading
ranchers was appointed to take up
the subject with the county commits
sioners on Saturday.
The committee appointed consists
of w. y. Richards, F. " King. Rob
ert Johnson and John Gibson. The
ranchers want to see considerable
work done on the thoroughfares
through that well settled district and
believe that they can place the prop
osition before the commissioners so
they will see the absolute necessity
for the work being done.
The club members also took up
the question Of building a warehouse
for fruit shipping. the building to be
on the line of the North Yakima G.
Valley railroad. 1t was decided to
postpone action until mass meet
ing of the Fruityale residents can
be called and the situation thorough
ly gone over. 1t is proposed to have
this warehouse built and ready for
use during the fruit shipping season
of 1909.

ENGINEERS ON wApATo CANAL
Reclamation Men Have Taken Hold
of the Proposition and Will
Make Reports.

Preliminary work of the reclama-
ton service on the Wapato irriga-
ton canal, the big irrigation project
which has been in the hands of the
Indian service, has been started by
the reclamation service engineers, a
department office having been estab-
lished at Wapato. where some of the
North Yakima men have been trans
ferred.
While little is known regarding
the departments plans for this pro-
ject, II is understood that the prelim-
mary reports will be made and that
as soon as the Indian service is ready
to give over the work to the reclaim
alton service, there will be a gener-
al move to get the big canal COM
pleted.
That the Wapato canal will be the
next big undertaking for the govern
ment service in Washington after the
completion of the Sunnyside canal
extensions and the Tieton canal,
seems certain.

to him more highly recommended in
every way than Mr. Moren.
