MULLINS SAYS THAT
YAKIMA Is LIKED.
Returning From Vacation Trip Is
Surprised at the Forward
Rush.

North Yakima is considered
throughout the United States to be
the best city of its size in the west"
said Pat Mullins Friday evening on
his return from Seattle, Victoria,
Vancouver and other cities on the
coast, where he spent FIVE weeks.
Every one I met at hotels or any
where else, and many Of them were
from scattered parts of the United
States, told me that they heard OF
the Yakima valley and that it's ad-
vantages were we'll known"
He returns to North Yakima firmly
convinced that the land in this sec
ton is worth $1,000 an acre, and says
the people are justified in paying that
price.
why if you buy land on the coast.
YOU pay fair price first for the land.
then you spend 800 an acre or more
to get out the stumps and you have
nothing but bumps and gravel left.
We have the best land in the state,
there is no doubt of it now in my
mind" he said.
Seattle, Tacoma and other cities
on the sound and coast will grow
rapidly because of shipping. rney
must be supplied with hay, grain,
fruit and vegetables. This country
will be depended on for the market
supply. That means much to us.
more than we appreciate, believe"
Mr. Mullins was surprised with
the rapid paving work being done in
North Yakima and with other i'm
provements. He says that five weeks
has been enough to show a rapid adj
vancement even in the business dis
trict.

CONDEMN FIRST STREET.
City Councilmen Find That Property
Owners Don't Want to
Settle.

Condemnation of the property ne
eessary for the opening of North
First street to the city limits. to con-
meet with the new Selah road, seems
almost certain, because the property
owners affected do not desire to make
settlements with the city through the
councilmen who have suggested such
step to them.
The Selah road right-of-way was
secured on condition that North First
street would be open. and according
to the promise of the council, the
street will be secured in some way.
The new Selah road is of vital I'M
portance to the city and to the Selah
valley. giving good access to the bust
ness district and a certainty OF
good road.

Shakespeare, England's immortal
bard, says:
The man that hath no music in him
self,
And is not moved with concord Of
sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, strategems, and
spoils."
More than any other man of any
other time Shakespeare is said to
have had a keener insight into human
nature and the finer and grosser
things that impel men to action. So
it goes without saying that he argued
that the reverse of the above quota
ton is also true.
That the man whose soul is moved
and inspired by the melodies of ma
ture, is so constructed that he sees
the radiant and not the grosser side
Of things, is unfit for treasons, strate-
gems and spOils.

In The Midst of Death.

Sunday School Times phil. Pa)
1t is folly to talk or live as
though we were going to have time
later to make better preparation to
die than we have yet made But
many of those who call themselves
Christians as we'll as those who do
not often take this desperate
chance. In the meantime all of us
live hourly in the midst of death !;
we can all say with David "as thy
soul liveth there is but step be-
tween me and death. " The so
called great risks of life are not
more fatal than life's everyday
risks. One of thee contestants in
an international balloon race last
year having made perilious flight
of eight hundred and twenty-five
miles without arm after alighting
safely almost lost is life in run
away-accident while he was being
escorted to near by town. A mis-
step at the bottom of a flight of
stairs is often as disastrous as a
fall from a precepice. But this
living in the midst of death need
give us no concern if we have
surrendered unconditionaly to the
only Conqueror that death has
ever acknowledged. Then death
will be but an incident in the life
which it can not disturb.

EXAMINE THEIR MOTIVES.


There is stuff coursing through
some of the magazines of the
country pretending to fairly and
impartially analyze the Modern
Prohibition Movement that is
nothing more or less than the most
cleverly concealed strokes of the
liquor forces to down the move
ment by campaign of counter ed
ucation. These articles sustain
about the same relation of friend

agnosticism does to Christianity
It's a case when the Crusaders
against the rum traffic must cry
out Save us from our (pretended)
friends. There are seeds of mis-
representation SO subtly sown in
with this pernicious articlizing as
to deceive almost the very elect

THAT UBIQUITOUS
LAUNDRY MARK

One of the hardest things to get
rid of in these modern days is a
laundry mark. The thing will
cling to you like the old man of
the sea. When this editor first
grew up big enough to buckle on
collars and cuffs he was too I'M
Sophisticated to steer clear of this
laundry mark business and made
the mistake when sending off his
first package of unmarked laundry
of putting in there collar bor-
rowed from another fellow that
unfortunately bore that mans
mark. From that day till a few
weeks ago that mark has followed
him like Nemisis. The only way
that he got it changed was to buy
a box of indelible ink, go through
every rag he had that was subject
to the laundrying and cancel the
old mark and write in its stead the
new one chosen. Even now he is
prosecuted occasionally with the
thought that unwittingly some
garment may find its way in his
laundry parcel that escaped this
remarking the old mark on 1T
and 10 and behold if it should
happen to be time when he had
put in some newly bought unmark-
ed pieces back thew would all come
with that horrid and familiar old
leech of a mark on them. Deliver
ance from laundry mark is a
great relief in this age.

An easy liver is like a mushroom
which growing up in night is but
pulpy thing. But the oak-ah !!
there are men who grow like the

The rocks beneath mutter We'll

down its roots grapples with the

at last reaching its gnarled arms
aloft it gives its challenge to the
storms of heaven. Thus we wres-
tie and wrestling grows into the
possessionSof those graces which
bound in bundle are called char
acter. We often fail? aye again
