Obstructive tactics were begun by
La Toilette when the report was
taken up by the senate yesterday,
and after being prosecuted by him
all night the filibuster was continued
today by Senator Stone and Senator
Gore. La Toilette broke the record
for long distance speaking. Stone
held the floor for six hours and Gore
spoke for something more than two
hours.
1t looked for time as though the
filibusters might be able to continue
their tactics well into if not through

viii BE Candidate for Nomination to
succeed Congressman Wesley
j.. Jones.

Rev. Lee A. Johnson of Sunnyside
made the first positive declaration Of
his intention 10 place His name be-
fore the primaries as candidate for
nomination as congressman to sue
coed Wesley l.. Jones. He stated
conclusiyely at the Herald office that
he would be in the field and that all
doubts as to the ACCESSIBILITY of his
placing himself before the people as
candidate for the nomination are at
rest.
My candidacy can in no way in
tertere with the candidacy Of Mr..
Jones ! believe that no man is a
stauncher friend or supporter Of Mr..
Jones than myself
The days have gone when there
IS such great sectional difference in
politics and | am positive that the
fact | am candidate will make abso-
lutely no change in the prospect OF
the present congressman.
Mr. Johnson made no definite
statements as TO his proposed poll
cies, but it is safe to state he will
make the fight on sound moral
issues.

REALTY VALUES JUMP.
Property In Fast Side Business Dis
trict Goes to Higher
Values.

Realty values in the east side
business district have been steadily
advancing during the last several
weeks as the result of the announce
ment of many public and semi-pub-
lie improvements which affect the
property along Yakima avenue and
the side streets. The most import
ant of these are the following
changes:
Paving of Yakima avenue to
Sixth street, and of side streets
Announcement OF street car extern
sion on Yakima avenue to Sixth
street and then to fair grounds.
Congressional action favorable to
government building appropriation
for structure at Third and Chestnut
streets.
Early opening of the Y. NJ. C. A.
building.
Prospect Of large hotel on Yakima
avenue
Widening of sidewalks
One business man purchased a
hundred foot frontage on Yakima
avenue several months ago for $751;
000 He was offered $4,000 fol-
the property several days ago and
refused, and says he will hold the
property until it is worth $4,000.
or will build upon it. Other realty
holdings along the street show SINH
lar values.
At the same time, the side street
property is going up too. Some of the
property north of the avenue will be
included in the street car loop and
is also near the new court house.
This is worth more today than it
was month ago, and not much is
on the market.
A conservative real estate man
says that the realty values in the
business district affected by the paw
ing and street car extensions will ad-
vance 20 per cent before the paving
is completed.

IF the following instructions are
followed out good results will fol-

Procure a good spray pump, one
that holds about three gallons, and
can be carried while spraying.
Spray when the leaves are dry

Spray with fine mist. which can
be done only with good nozzle IN

Use iron sulphate at the rate OF
one and one-half to two pounds per
gallon.
DO not let the solution stand more
than three or four hours after mix
ing.
Strain the solution through a fine
sieve or cloth into the spray can, 80
that no material will get into The
pump and clog it up.
SPRAY about every six weeks, OF
whenever the dandelions start into
growth.
Keep the lawn grass we'll water
ed, so that the grass can overcome by
vigorous growth any damage result
ing from the spray solution.
DO not spray more than is neces-
sary to kill the dandelions."

MINISTERS ARRANGE FOR
ANNUAL COLLECTIONS IN
ALL THE CHURCHES OF CITY
VIII Not Interfere, However, With
Denominational Work of
Various Congregations.

Churches of North Yakima VIII
work in the future as unison in
general charity work with the Sal
walton Army as general headquarters.
Such was the decision made at the
meeting of the Ministerial association
at meeting held yesterday in the
Methodist church, the report of Rev.
DR.. Gibson on the subject being fully
considered and the second plan sug-
gested by him being adopted.
The ministers considered the adj
visibility of starting a bureau under
the regular Associated Charities,
recognized over the United States. t
was decided that this plan would be
too expensive as starter for North
| Yakima, as the need is not as great
as in many cities. A salary of $1,000
| to $4,000 must be paid to the man
| in charge of the office of such a char
| ity and in addition there are numer-
Gus other office expenses.
The second plan considered was
that of having the Salvation Army
act as agent for the churches. DR..
Gibson reported that this could be
arranged, each church to take a COL
lection annually to be placed in a
general fund, the amount to be dis
bursed by the army officers as an
associated charity organization and
not under the name of the army. The
| organization of the corps, however,
! could be used with effective results
| in such a plan. Capt. jenkins was
present and explained the plans of
such an undertaking in detail, and
the idea met with instant favor. The
ministers adopted this scheme.
| The associated work will not inter-
fere with any special charity work
that the denominations desire to do
among the members or attendants,
but will give an adequate means of
charity work among those who are
not church attendants or can not be
reached by the churches in their
charity work There has been need
for such steps. especially among the
| floating population of the city, and
the charity organization is certain to
be of vast benefit.
Rev. F. c. Whitney is president of
| the Ministerial association and Sec
rotary Turner of the Y. NJ. c. A. IS
the secretary. These men will prac-
tically direct the charity work with
the assistance of the Salvation Army,
and all the detailed expenditures will
be reported to the Ministerial associa-
ton, which acts practically as an ex-
ecutive board for the new organiza-
ton.

MARvELED AT GROWTH HERE.
Visitor of 1905 More Than FavOrably
Impressed.


w. B. Wilcox, an old newspaper
man, is staying few days at the
Hotel Yakima, looking over the
country, before going to Oregon on
visit to an old friend Mr.. Wilcox
was here for few days in 1895,
when the state Christian Endeavor
convention was held in this city, and
he thinks that the growth of the city
and tributary country since that
time has been simply marvellous, and
would scarcely be credited by an en-
tire stranger. He said, speaking to
a Herald man:
after spending a few years in
the mountains of British Columbia,
it is pleasure to stop few days in
a city like North Yakima. From a
little struggling town when / was
here Is years ago it has grown to be
a compact, bristling, well-built city
of some $4,000 people, and one of
which its citizens can look with
pride. Not only is this fact, but
the surrounding territory has been
fast settling up with a contented lot
of prosperous. energetic people. And
the best of it is that they are, as
rule, all doing well.
when one sees here the blocks
of solid three and four story stone
and brick buildings that would be
credit to city of $4,000 people and
learns that they were all the result
practically of the profits realized
from the big red apples and other
fruit, it hardly seems believable.
Yet here they are, to speak for them
selves, and they do so with no I'M
certain sound.
Il am told that your banks hardly
felt the financial panic last fall. when
most banks all over the country were
either issuing wooden money or de-
Ginning to pay at all for the time be-
ing. Such a state of affairs is a great
advertisement for North Yakima.
"If the stories of profits from fruit
raising here are credible-and they
are so plenteous and so well verified,
that there must be some fire where
there is so much smoke-this is in
deed a favored section and one that
can not possibly fail to bring in
host of homeseekers in the near
future. And this is taking the con-
sentative view by cutting the stories
in half"

FORESTRY WORK.

The time is passing for fruitful
forestry work this year. Should you
have it in your mind to do any ac-
tive work, let US remind you that
after few weeks your opportunity
will be lost for this year. Mrs. Guy
Bowerman is chairman of this COM
mittee for the first district, prove
your interest in the work by writing
to her though you conclude to take
no action. You don't know how
much real satisfaction there is in an
acquaintance by letter with your fell
low club women. Already, there are
many women in different parts of the
state that seem to the editor of this
page, like real tried and true"
friends. We anticipate their letters,
both for publication and personal, as
though we had always known them
personally.
