A Late Learned Secret.


Eli MulhOlland Il bachelor eff forty,
at 10 o'clock at night went up three
pairs of stairs, opened the door of his
rented room and as he entered heaved
a deep sigh. 1t was heard by Lydia
Nuttcr, the landlady's daughter, aged
twenty, who wondered what caused
it. Had she, too, been forty instead
of twenty, without having followed the
course dictated by mating and
rearing children-she would have I'M
dcrStood that if translated into words
the sigh would say:
ooh, this lonely room"
Eli Mulholland had in his youth chos-
en- athletic sports WITH which to beguile
his leisure hours. He was Il mans
man rather than a girls man. He re
mcmberCd a pair of bright eyes beam
ing upon him when he had won the
champion cup for single scullS. They
and the smile that accompanied them
were then no more to him than a
passing Whit of viOlctS. Now, as he
entered his lonely room, he remembered
that the girl lie had failed to claim
was the wife, and mother Of children,
of the man he had beaten in the race.
He had won the cup, which he had so
dearly priced, leaving for his antag-
0nist the girl, whom he had considered
merely one of Il million. Now the cup
was in a vault with other trinketS; the
girl was the light of a household.
He remembered another whom he
had played with in Il double game of
tennis, an eXccr0ble player, but soft
voiced beauty; how he had saved the
game by his skill and activity; how
she had received the priZc-a silver
mounted racket-from bis hands, with
bushes that told him she would have
gladly taken him instead.
These and others with whom he had
feared to become entangIed contribute
ed their part in that deep drawn sigh,
so uninteligibe to I..dia %utter. He
was no longer the companion of young
people He had passed the mating
period and had not mated.
What troubled You last night, Mr.,
Mulholland. as You went inlo Jour
room:" asked Lydia the next morning
as the bachelor went out to get his
lonely breakfast.
Il troubled? What do you mean?"
You drew such Il sad sigh
AS Eli looked into her sympathetic
eyes something of two decades before
came back to MIN. Was it too late
to save what remained of his life from
a loneliness intensified with each pass
ing year? As quickly rs the thought
came it was baniShcd. Had be stood
still for twenty years while others had
grown old? He turned to pass out
without reply. How could he tell
this girl. who when he was her
age was scarcely ho.m, that he had
wasted his opportunities, and. though
he had gained the world. it was worth
less; that which he had SeItishly
thought he wished for himself when

The mayor Of Ieon. la. tells how
the city's electric light plant was sold
for half price as follows:
"Orginal cost $4,000; sold for So,
O00-sod because the city WAS get

count of plant. At one time the city
had to issue bonds in the sum of So

was four years ago Two years ago,
when the city sold the plant. there
We're about $1,000 outstanding war

the city, but service much better"
Another authority states that $4,000
had been spent on construction and
equipment before the plant was sold.

The heating apparatus for the
high school will cost about $4,000.
This includes the smokestack and all
of the fittings for the heating OF the
building. The contract. while it has
not been let, will undoubtedly go to
the Yakima Hardware and Heating
company. The school board has de-
cided that they will give the contract
to the Yakima Hardware and Heat
ing company provided that they will
put into their bid certain require
ments that were suggested by the

the federal government intends to
Immediately take up the further
building OF the canal. the with
drawal having been ordered by the
department of the interior. The Wa

As there are over $4,000 acres to
each township. the immensely of the
withdrawal can be easily seen. The
territory affected includes all the
land in the reservation from the
Northern Pacific tracks to Fort Sim

While the Yakima Indian reserva-
ion contains over 100000 acres Of
land. only about 100000 acres can
be successfully irrigated Much OF
the reservation is timber land.
Considerable progress has been
made on the building of the Wapato

charge of the work. Many of the
Yakima Indians worked on the canal
last year and anticipate employment
this year, knowing that it means a
great increase of value in their prop

time, there is certain to be great
increase in property values on the

pointed by Gov. Mead recently, can
be of material assistance to the peo-
pie of Yakima in pointing out way
whereby good roads can be built at

is as follows: That the people Of

their county commissioners, provide

provide convicts to operate this plant.
The county should also locate the
quarry and provide that the title be
vested in the state. Then, at the
next session of the legislature 1t is
the intention that the counties which
have provided such quarries and in
stalled such plants go before the leg
islature and ask the state to reim-
burse the county or individuals for
money expended. Permanent coll
Wet camps will be established when
the state takes over the plants.
The advantage to the county Is. in
the first place, they secure the Local
ton by their own efforts of plant
of this character, and secondly, IL
the state reimburses them, as it I'M
doubtedly will, they will have estab-
lished a plant at their very doors
which has cost them nothing and
which will furnish a permanent sup
ply of stone for road purposes.
! shall be in Spokane on Saturday
the 10th inst, and expect that others
of the advisory board will be with
me- We could arrange to be In
Yakima on Friday the 18th in the
afternoon and confer with your peo-
pie if desired. If you care to have
us come will you kindly advise me
and Karl c. Bowers. at kennewick.
Very truly,
SAMUEL HILL
