ANT|-F[y FIGHT
IN CAPITAL
TO PREVENT TYPHOID EtNtR
Stringent Regulations Enforced &c
Prevent Breeding in Stables and
Back Yards.

WASHINGTON, June IA fight
against the common house fly, or ''ty-
phoid fly" has been in progress in
Washington for three years. In May,
1906, the health department of the
District of Columbia published a set
of rules which have been so well en-
forced that the fly evil has been re-
duced 65 per cent, according TO Off
cial reports.
These rules may be briefly condens-
ed as follows:
All stalls in which animals are kept
shall have the surface of the ground
covered with a water-tight floor.
Every person occupying a building
where domestic animals are kept shall
maintain in connection Herewith, a
bin or pit for the reception of manure,
and pending the removal from the
premises of the manure, place such
manure in said bin or pit. This bin
shall be so constructed as to exclude
rainwater and shall in all other re-
spects be water tight, except as 1t
may be connected with the public sew
err. 1t shall be provided with suit
able cover and construction so as to
prevent the ingress and egress of flies.
No person owning a stable shall
keep any manure or permit any ma
nure to be kept in or upon any portion
of the premises other than the bin or
pit prescribed, nor shall he allow any
such bin or pit to be overfilled or
needlessly uncovered. Horse manure
may be kept tightly rammed into we'll
covered barrels for the purpose of re-
moval in such barrels.
Every person keeping manure in any
of the more densely populated parts
of the District shall cause all such
manure to be removed from the prem
Uses at least twice every week between
June 1 and October 81. and at least
once eevry week between November l
and May 81 of the following year. No
person shall remove or transport any
manure over any public highway in
any of the more densely poulated parts
of the District. except in a tight We
hicle. which. if not inclosed must be
effectually covered with canvas, so as
to prevent droppings. No person shall

WHO'LL BE THE GOAT?

The city of North Yakima has the
question of a municipal water works
up for consideration. There are two
plans outlined. one is the purchase
of the present Northwest Light &
Water companys plant, water right
and mains and the other is the con-
struction of an entirely new system.
The water company asks $500. 600 for
its plant and equipment. The Herald
stated Tuesday morning that this
price is excessive and before the fight
is over some facts will be put forward
in support of that position.
There is nothing very equivocal in
that stand, is thee? Nothing in it
that smacks of subserviency to the
Northwest Light & Water company, is
there? If anyone is in doubt about
where the Herald stands on this prop
osition, we will state that we favor the
entrance of the North Coast railroad
because it offers to the people of this
community competing railroad privi-
leges. We are not greatly in love with
the Northwest Light & Water COM
pany because that concern possesses a
franchise which permits of privileges
that no public utility corporation
should be allowed. Consequently we
favor the work of Mr.. Strahorn insofar
as what he stands 70" rep: esents the
good of the community as a whole.
When his interests run counter to the
good of the community we are most
emphatically opposed to him. That's
about where we all stand, is it not?

In addition to this ordinance. 9th

once a week. The average salary of
an inspector is $1J47; so that the to-
tai expense for the first year was some
thing like $4.500. But much of the
time of inspectors is taken in the
prosecution of the owners of neglected
premises. Moreover, the health Off
Ger found during the summer of 1908
in his prosecution of the owners or
managers of unsanitary restaurants
that his inspectors We're practically
sworn out of court by the multiple
ity of opposing evidence. This means
that it will be necessary in such cases
to send two inspectors together in all
cases, so that the testimony of one may
be supported by the testimony of the
other. This, perhaps. would double
the number of necessary inspectors
making the expense of the service
something over $4,000.

Delightful Ball.

one of the largest and most notable
social functions that has taken place
in North Yakima this year was the
ball given last evening in Holstein's
pavilion by Mr.. and Mrs. Frederic c..
Hall, Mr.. and Mrs. Albert S. Congdon,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles G. Case, Mr.. and
Mrs. John d. Nichols and Dr. and Mrs.
Harry Bell Pratt. The pavilion never
befo. e presented so attractive an ap-
pearance. The bal room was trans
formed into veritable Oriental gar
den with its perfume and wealth of
flowers and the large japanese para
soils which covered the ceiling. A
spring motif of green and white pre-
dominated, expressed in quantities of
white fleuv DIES leis and sweet-scented
locus blossoms entwined in fishnet
which line the walls and was used to
screen the balcony ratings. Jardi-
niers of stately palms and quantities
of delicate ferns We're placed about the
ha and screened the orchestra.
Large American flags were draped on
either side of the balcony, where the
orchestra was seated. The decorations
We're only outrivaled by the beautiful
gowns worn by the ladies'. Punch was
served in one corner of the ballroom
from a white booth which was liter
ally covered with long Stoned pink
rose buds and dainty ferns, and the
buffet lunch counter of white had the
same exquisite decoration. In one
portion of the hall which was made at
active with rugs and palms. where
small tables We're arranged for whist,
the guest p aging cards enjoyed the
evening to the utmost, although the
brilliant scene of the dance, when the
beautiful ladies in their Varigated
satin gowns glided over the floor to
the dreamy waltzes and inspiring two
steps of Naglers orchestra in the soft
glow of the yelled lights in Japanese
lanters. was the most enchanting. The
happy hou.s passed all too soon for
the joys they held and the charming
guests reluctantly danced the Home
Sweet Home" waltz. This was a most
successful party, for it could not have
been otherwise with such hosts.

TUE SONS OE HAGAR.

Their name is Legion-every day
We see them passing by;
Among the haunts of men they stray
Like spectres, silently;
OF happiness there CLEANS no ray
In their unseeing eye.
The cord that binds the world of men
They grasp it now no more:
Something has from their being gone
That time can ne'er restore;
Lifes JOY is dead, youths hopes are
fled.
Their morning dreams are DER.
Insult they fling into the face
Where Christ's compassion reigns;
Hyena-like they tear the hand
That would remove their chains:
And where we speak a kindly word
They curse us for our pains.
What wrapped the gloom about their
Which nothing can dispel?
What fires within their bosom burn
Who is there that can tell?
What alchemy is theirs to turn
Earth's heaven to he'll?
What wrought the ruin within their
breast
Who is there can declare?
Who from theiy heart remove the veil
And lay its secrets bare?
Who can unroll their life's dim scroll
And read the story there?

Back of Spokanes' cleaning-up cru
SADIE is scarlet fever epidemic which
has been raging for three months.
That city has been spending money at
the rate of 100000 a month in an
effort to stamp out the disease. No
halfway measures have been adopted.
The authorities resorted to q rigid
form quarantine. Every residence
and every place of business was in
spected and If any person showed
symptoms of the disease he was
promptly isolated. Every part of the
city has been thoroughly cleaned in
the hope of getting at the source Of
the disease, and for time the schools
were closed to check its spread. In
spite of the unrelenting fight against
IT, there have been twenty-five new
cases reported since May 25; but the
work of the authorities is beginning
to show its effect and there are now
only about two hundred cases in quar-
antine. In several Montana cities
there is a similar epidemic, and many
cases are reported in Seattle and
Portland. North Yakima, up to the
present time is practically free from
the disease. but it is evident that the
officials did not order a general clean
ing up too soon. And there is every
reason why the cleaning up should be
made thorough.
