ADVERTISING YAkIMA.

The mammoth proportions Of The
publicity work during the past nine
months by a committee Of The Yak
tina Commercial club have been dis
closed By a report Of the Yakima
Boosters club and show the basis
for the reports coming from the east
that he Yakima valley is now one OF
the best advertised sections Of the
west
The average person can hardly
comprehend the statement that there
has been a total circulation Of pub
LEFTY matter to the extent Of %
68G,61G copies and thar $4,000 per-
sons have seen Yakima exhibits al
fairs and conventions as shown by
this report This means that for
each month over 100000 copies
containing Yakima advertising were
placed before the people Of the Tn
tied States. 4 little figuring shows
that the inch advertisements placed

committee if placed side by side
along the Northern Pacific railroad
tracks would reach from North Yaki-
ma to point considerably past Spo-

part Of the advertising scheme that
has been carried on.
That this advertising has been ef-
fectiye is shown by increased inter-

stantly reported as closed with east

be heavy emigration to Yakima

THE HEALTH QUESTION.

The proposition advanced by the
city council to completely change the
plan of sanitation in the city is one
which should be considered careful
ly. With the exception of the fire
department, perhaps, there is no
branch OF municipal government
which deserves the careful consider
alton and the expenditure of money
that is required by the sanitary d..
partment The new plan Is one
which is apparently good. although
possibly it may be improved on by
experts along this line 1t calls for
the appointment of a health officer
at a salary of 500 month; a dep
uty health officer at a salary OF $50
month. and the appointment of two
qualified electors to sit on the board
of health with the health officer as
eX officio member The first propo-
sition of a health officer with COM
mensurate salary to services render
ed is one which should meet viii i'm
mediate favor While the 800 a
month is not sufficient to attract the
entire services of a physician, new
ertheless it Is much better than a
$50 salai! which would attract no
one no. even the common laborer,
who can make more money employ

Is made the main guide of the health
department BY the new ordinance
and is practically given unlimi I'd

health officer has practically the
same office as sanitary Inspector and
works directly under the supervision
OF the health officer.
The idea Of placing two qualified
electors on the health board is q
good one. Heretofore the health
board has been made up in the same
way excepting the two members Of
