DOGS TO THE RESCUE.
Had II Not Been For Valuable COllies
Loss BY Fire Would Have
Been Large.

What may have terminated in a
serious loss by fire Thursday night
was only prevented by the sagacity
of pair of valuable collie dogs
While DR.. ]. w Ridgway and his
family were on their nocturnal trip
to slumberville they were awakened
by the unusual barking of the dogs.
No attention was paid to the noise at
first, but after continual yelping of
possibly an hour the doctor decided
to investigate the matter.
AS he was dressing the younger Of
the dogs gave an appealing howl, and
as he emerged from the house he saw
flames leaping toward the barn OF Mr..
Gilmore, the blacksmith, who lives on
Ninth avenue, and whose barn is di-
rectly opposite his own. Without
giving any alarm the doctor filled
several buckets with water and ran
to the fire and drowned the flames
before any serious damage had been
done.
1t was learned the next morning
that Mrs. Elmore, after cleaning out
the stove, had removed the ashes in
wooden box and carried them 20
the alley, and without thinking had
placed the apparently cold ashes in A
safe place. but during the night as
winds arose some of them regained
life and the heat ignited the dry wood
work of their barn.
The doctor has always valued the
dogs very highly in the past but now
states that he wouldn't take $500 for
either of his pets.

because of the expense. and yet the
expense is minor matter as COM
/ pared with the making of good citi-
zens.
! All departments OF the school sys-
TEN are working together in har-
mony and excellent results are OBJ
tanned. From the superintendent S
office examination questions in one
or more subjects are sent out each
month. This last month the exami-
nation was in spelling and the results
were much higher than those OBJ
tanned last term.
As the time draws near for the
election of teachers, / wish to express
my appreciation of the principals, SUI
pervisors and teachers who compose
the present corps. AS whole they
are as efficient, faithful and con-
scientious as any corps of instructors
on the Pacific slope. Such superior
teachers can not but make good
schools, and through them make good
men and women of the boys and girls
who attend them.
A few of our teachers will not be
with us next year. Some will be
married; some will attend higher in
situations of learning. others will rest
at home, and still others will try to
secure positions nearer their own
homes. All those who leave will be
greatly missed. They have had 4
large part in the success of the North
Yakima schools. Their successors
should be chosen with the greatest
care, as | believe they will be. No
influence" or pull" should be suf-
tcient to place a poorly prepared
teacher in our schools. Teachers
should be elected on merit" only,
and local, political, church or social
influence should have no weight
whatever.
The question of salary is one that
is ever present. The salaries paid
here are as good as those paid in
cities of the same size, as a rule, but
not so good as those paid in larger
cities. We have, therefore, a con-
slant trend toward the point of the
larger salary. We are unable, too, 20
secure the best talent in the high
school on our present beginner
schedule. Good men will not come
here for such salaries. They can
command much better elsewhere
The same is true of the grades. I'll
we want men, we can get them; but
only by paving such salaries as they
can command elsewhere. or better
than they can get elsewhere
Respectfully submitted,
D. g. REED, Superintendent.

JAPS VS.. WOMEN.
In One Case Japs BY Wholesale
Demoralize Balance of Help
With Booze.

Japanese cooks to take the place
of female white help is proving to be.
a necessity in this valley, although II
some cases the Orientals are far from
satisfactory. Female help for house
work is almost impossible to secure,
~ advertising for them but the ranch
ers are making a speciality Of this
means to secure help for the house.
Japs are being imported from Sc
attic to act as chefs and do chamber
work. One rancher living near town
has brought no less than six Japa-
nese from the sound and taken them
out for trial, but in each case the
importee has loaded himself up with
several bottles of the stuff that
cheers, and after a few days has de-
moralized the balance of the help.
1t is said a number of the society
ladies are about to meet for the pur-
pose of going over this dearth OF help
and arrange if possible some means
to overcome 1t.
From the conversation OF some of
them, it Is evident that a working
girl arriving in the city will be met
with outstretched arms, and it Is said
by some of the ladies they will get
her into the most exclusive society.
