GETS FIRST DECISION.
Mamie Rr(ffield Secures Damages fOl
Scalding From Ellensburg
District.

The case of Mamie Redfeld
against the Ellensburg school dis
trict was decided finally Wednesday
in the superior court at Ellensburg,
the little girl getting $3.50 dam
ages. The case is unique in many
particulars and worthy to be care
fully noted by school directors.
Mamie Redfield is little girl,
now years old, and she is the
daughter of Mr. John j. Redfield
now a resident of Idaho. but who re-
Gently lived in North Yakima, and
who was conductor on the Sunnyside
train for a number of months.
When little Mamie was just few
days past years old she was started
TO school by her parents, who then
lived in Ellensburg, her father being
freight conductor on the Northern
Pacific railway. She had attended
school but 10 days when she was
severely scalded in this way: The
school room was heated by a hot air
furnace and the teacher, Miss Charl-
ton, in order TO moisten the air, got
permission of the school board to
keep bucket Of water on the hot
air register. which was 10 -ated in the
middle of the center aisle of desks.
The bucket was not safeguarded in
anyway. and upon an occasion when
the children were marching in with
their wraps, Just before the noon re-
cess. little Mamie Redfie,d's dress

This overturned the bucket, which
was a four-gallon pail, and caused

secure for Mr. Splawn the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor.
The club will meet again next
Monday night in the assembly room
in the couri house, and an effort will
be made TO have as many of the
friends OF Mr. Splawn regardless Of
party as possible not already mem
bers OF the club to be present at that
time and to join the club.
A representative of the Herald
called up Mr.. Snively the president
OF the club, after the meeting and
asked him for an outline of the work
proposed by the club. Mr. Snively
said in part
The candidacy of Mr.. Splawn for
governor is not personal to himself
Even now he is not Teconciled to
make the race His candidacy comes
from his acquaintance from all over
the state Even in a straw vote taken
in Spokane the other day he got
without even being publicly men
toned for governor nearly as many
votes as Dr. Byrne, formerly mayor
Of Spokane, who had publicly an
nounced himself for the office. Mr..
Spiawn is eminently man of the
people. he is pioneer Of wide ac-
quaintance on both sides OF the
mountains. He is not dreamer or
politician. but a man Of action and
simple habits. He has had a varied
experience in life. all Of which ap-
peals to the heroic thought Of west
erners. Beginning as a cowboy and
growing TO the business head of 4
great meat packing establishment
and the owner OF the finest herd of
thoroughbred stock on the Pacific
coast, he was finally called upon to
become president of the Yakima
electric railroad system at a time
when this local enterprise was in dire
need OF a saviour and he saved it,
Like Cincinnatus he was called by
the people from the pillow to help
them but he has also been called be-
fore and that was when all hope had
failed to get a settlement of the wa
ter rights in the Yakima and Naches
rivers which was necessary before
the government took hold Of the
work Of irrigatine the Yakima val
ley. He responded and took up the
fight and won the day as every one
then in the valley knews Well, he
is going 10 be called again and he
viii save the day again, but this time
it will be for the state as its cover
nor. Now watch his smoke
The fight for Splawn. the Demo-
Gratis declare will be for more
economy in state taxation. They say
that Splawn clubs will be formed in
every precinct in the county and an
attempt will be made to have a club
in every county throughout the state.

they were asked to support five hum
drod technical and indus ial schools
for every two million of population?
This is what we should come to- If
We expect to compete with the old
country in the products of technical
and industrial educa ion.
Denmark is a country of poor
soil which has been TILED and over
worked Tor Il thousand years. New
ertheless, the Danish population an.
nually sells in the markets of Lon
don, $50, 900. 900 worth of butter.
In 1903, the entire United States
exported only $1,0G4,000 of this pro-
duct. In addition to this. Denmark
annually sends out one-fifth as much
pork as we do. and just as many
horses; and certainly America should
lead the world in the breeding of hor-
ses. Meantime, the Danish nation
has taught the hens how to work.
Four hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars worth of eggs were exported
from Denmark in 1875, and in 1909,
this export had reached value of
5000, 900. In the last ten years
Denmark has taken $4,000, 900 worth
of corn from Iowa and Nebraska.
via New York: fed it to Danish cows
and pigs, and then placed the pro-
duet in the European cities, success
fully competing with similar products
from the United States.
"Thirty years ago. New York was
sending butter and cheese to the
London markets. New York butter
and cheese were ruling out similar
products from Ontario, and other
parts of the world. In the last TWEEN
ty years of this period, Denmark has
increased her exports from $1,000
% to $4O,O00.OOO. In the same
twenty years, farm values in the state
of New York have decreased $780,
OOO, 900.
"All this means that in certain
parts of Europe, educators have been
quicker to recognize the advantages
OF industrial and agricultural educa
ton to recognize the advantages of
industrial and agricultural education
than in some states of the union. It
is abundantly proved that the United
States will suffer in competition with
the superior methods of the old coun-
try; al of which accounts for the
sweeping movement we witness in
benalf of the industrial worker, the
followers of manual trades.
ct is the duty of teachers to assert
the dignity of education for the
farmer. the plumber, or the carpen-
ter, just the same as for the followers
of literary, and non-industrial pro-
LESSONS. We need agricultural and
industrial education, and the new
movement indicates that we are 60
ing to have it. II is certainly pleas
ing to know that the teachers of the
country northwest have wil,ed 20
stand on the firing line of educational
progression.

BREAKS RECORD
THIS DIVORCE CASE
TAXES SHORTEST TINE
Trouble Following Harrison Shoot
ing ARRAY Is Quickly Settled
by the Court.

Probably the shortes; time on rec
ord in the granting of divorce was
consumed Monday afternoon in the
case of Emma Harrison VS.. Henry
Harrison. When the case was called
Attorney Snyder for the plaintiff
handed to the Judge the stipulation
showing the defendant as serving
time in the penitentiary and his
honor announced the petition of the
plaintiff as granted and directed that
a decree he so entered. The entire
time consumed was less than half a
minute.
The defendan is serving time at
Walla Walla for assault with a dead
ly weapon upon the person of his
wife 1t will be remembered that
Harrison called upon his wife al the
hotel Bartholet about eight or nine
months ago and upon her refusal to
again live with him took shot at
her, the bullet causing flesh wound.

THE CITY WILL BUY.
Visits Spot Thursday and Practically
Decides to Purchase
Tract

The city will purchase the 90
acres owned by Capt. Thomas on the
bank of the Yakima river if the re-
port which will be made by the COM
mittee named to investigate condi-
tions there is favorably passed on by
the city council.
The committee Thursday visited
the spot, which was originally Sc
cured by the city for park. and it
was given most favorable considera-
ton. I acre is no doubt the land
will be purchased. The history OF
the land stretches through man!
years and the latest development be
! fore the committees consideration
was threat by Capt. Thomas that
j the city would be sued unless some
action was taken in the matter.
The cost will be in the neighbour
I hood of $500, Capt. Thomas agree
ing 10 pay the taxes, which will bring
the approximate estimate down tc
5000 in actual coin.
Ii is here the city expects to locate
its septic tank and there is some
hope of laying out a muc.--needed

Senator Ankeny's printing bureau
is sending out to every voter in the
state circular letter soliciting sup
port. The letter concludes:
In this letter it is not necessary
for me TO detail the results that
have accomplished, but to call your
attention TO the fact that | am going
to ask reelection at the next legis-
lative session, and to say tina my name
will be placed upon the ballot to be
voted upon at the primaries next Sep
TENDER. If consistent, | would So
licit your support
The reason why it is not necessary
to detail results is that the results
of Congressman Jones' work since he
became member of the house of rep
resentatives have been given to the
public, and Mr. Ankeny's work in
the senate as compared to Mr.. Jones
work in the house of representatives
is an an anthill to Mount Rainier.

COMMERCIAL CLUB GOES FREE
Nor.h Yakima Assessor Says He VIII
Not Tax Personal Property.

The question Of assessing the per-

came up today, and Assessor Sindall
has been trying to ascertain the law
on the subject. The legal status OF
the club for taxation Is not clear.
but Mr. Sindall says he has no inten-
ton at present Of assessing the prop
erty. While the strict construction
OF the law might make the club as
sessable, 1t is felt that the general
purpose of the organization Is for
the public good and cooperative in
sense. and therefore It is not to be
assessed. The club partakes of the
character of charitable organization
and is incorporated under that clause.
