PUBLICITY STAMP MEETS

tho Plan Was Referred Consider
cd Il an Excellent Idea.

IT wish the general public would
understand" said DR.. n. p. James, Sec
Rotary OF the Commercial club. Sat-
urday. that the better success attain
ed by the men engaged In selling the
Yakima publicity stamp the greater
will be the resulting benefit to the
Commercial club. A number Of peo-
pie do not appear to understand the
proposition and some are afraid OF It
but why that should be Is difbcult to
understand.
''Suct good business men as John

cd the oposal and asked the advice
Of business men thereon They re-

for small! contributors who would not
care to subscribe otherwise to the
club publicity fund. Every stamp
used is an advertisement for Yakima
and the larger number sold the great
ed will be the publicity fund of the
club.
Plan Has Succeeded Elsewhere
'The plan appears to all who have
investigated il to be splendid one.
1t is not tried here for the first time.
Stamps have been used for similar
purposes in other cities. Tacoma used
them for its stadium in connection
with the high school. Seattle has
used them. number OF eastern cities
Or institutions have adopted the plan
and it is now being tried here. There
is no possible way that it can accrue
to the benefit of anyone in particular
and at any rate the club gets the
better proportion Of the money from
all stamps sold. that money to be used
to advertise Yakima.
las | have said the stamp itself
is an advertisement and the club is
enabled to do stiil further work from
the money procured from their sale.
Some 10000 of these stamps should
be sold at no very distant date to peo-
pie of this city and vicinity. The idea
has the approval of our best business

DEATH KNELL FOR GIN MILLS
Licenses of Two Yakima City Saloons
Expire Monday and Will Not be
Renewed.

If the present plan of the board Of
trustees of Yakima City does not go
awry. old town will be a dry" burg
after Monday April 8, and the death
knell of the gin mills will be sound
or at the town board meeting Monday
evening. Four of the five members Of
thetown board of trustees have pied
ged their support and votes towards
the ousting of the three saloons do
ing business there. and have consulted
legal authorities in regard to the val
idity of their action, with the assur-
ance that the steps proposed will
stand the test of the courts.
Licenses Expire.
The licenses for two of the three old
town saloons expire Monday, April 6.
and if the present fighting line of the
'dry's" holds firm. they will not be
renewed. 1t is stated upon good and
reliable authority that the license
held by the third and unexpired will
be Cancelled at the meeting of the
trustees. Four members of the board
are supporting the campaign for the
ousting of the saloons. One lone
member of the board is standing by
the falling banner of the saloon in
terests.
End of Old Fight.
The action of the town board as
proposed will mean the ending of an
old fight. Until recently Yakima City
was a haven for the thirsty of this
! city on the Sabbath, but three or four
weeks ago the lid went down tight
1t is alleged that most of the trouble
of the Indians in regards to the Ii
quor question emanated from the
rumshops of that place, and that the
abolshing of the PAGES will have d
good effect in stamping out this evil
The town is reported to be evenly di.
vided on the question and an exciting
! time is looked for an Monday evening
meeting of the trustees.

Governor Fighting Hard.

TULSA, Okla, April Ex-Governor
Haskell when called before the fed
eral court today to answer to indict-
ments charging him with fraud in
connection with the Muskogee town
lot cases, made a hard fight against
the case coming to trial. Judge Mar
shall of Utah, who is presiding. heard
the extended arguments by both sides
in the matter of Haskclrs demurrer
and likely will render a decision to-
morrow. Haskelrs attorneys began
the tight by asking that the indict-
ments be quashed, charging Special
Attorney General Rush with miscon-
duct in conducting the grand jury in
quiry which resulted in the indict-
mcnts. He also charged that the
grand jury was illegally drawn; that
the stenographer had been present dur
ing the inquiry and that incompetent
testimony had been the basis of the
indictments. These allegations were
vigorously denied by the government
counsel. A great crowd attended the
opening of the trial.

This was the FIRE in the black Hills
in South Dakota, which occurred
IN October, and which was res
ponsible for about two-thirds of
the total loss in the District.
Many of the other fires would no
doubt have been serious if they
had not been extinguished prompt
ly. Considering the large acreage
patroled, and the amount of tim
Der involved, the loss has been ex-
ceptionlly low, and the figures
given are an excellent illustration
of the value Of organized patrol of
timberland.

Loss from Forest Fires
Small on National Forests

Denver, December, 29th.-In
this District including Colorado,
Southern and Eastern Wyoming,
South Dakota, Kansas, and Neb-
raska, 233 fires we're extinguished
within the National Forests dur
ing the last fire season, with a loss
to timber of only $1,000.
Any of these fires, if it had
been allowed to run unchecked
and burn itself ont, which is
usually the case on tracts where
there is no patrol, would have
caused a loss many times the
value of the timber burned.
Private timberland owners, part
icularly those in the far north
west. as we'll as Uncle Sam or the
National Forests, have alike
proven this season that the patrol
is the one sure means of comba-
ting forest fires which foresters
say are the worst enemy of the
forest.
The estimated value within the
National Forests of the District is
SOC, OOO,0 900. The loss from fire
during the past season, therefore,
represents approximately $1,000
of one per cent of the total value
Railroads have been the worst
offenders in the setting of fires,
96 out of the 233 being ascribed to
them. Thirty-four fires were sci
by campers, and twenty-five by
lightning. Sawmills set five.
aud thirteen were caused by the
spreading of fires kindled for the
purpose of clearing land ano
burning brush. Only four are
reported to have been of incen'
diary origin.
There are 23,359.1S3 acres o
National Forest Land within th'
District. Within this vast terri
tory there has been but one fire
during the year that gained enough
! headway to become at all serious

The Past Four Months Of
Sc E. Ry.Freight Business

The Sun has secured from the
office of the Saratoga & Encamp-
ment railroad a statement of the
movement of freight in carload
lots along it's line for the
past four months. Following is
the list: 70 cars of baled hay, agg-
regating S39 tons, with ten cars
more ordered, which will bring
the total number of cars of hay
10 " and the Tonnage to 1000 tons.
Oats, Scars, 160 tons; potatoes, 5
cars, 95 tons; Live stock, 46 cars,
Ago tons, with 30 cars more in
sight This is a statment of what
has been shipped out during the
months. of September, October,
November, and December, 1909.
1t Is fair to assume that the cars
spoken for will be used and that
will form the basis of our calcula-
ton. This will make a total of
l72 cars of freight of all kinds,
with a Tonnage of LBS tons. We
ask the readers of the Sun to
ponder over these figures for a
while, and note what they mean.
Without a railroad to enable the
producers to ship their hay, it
would mean that, perhaps, a por-
ton of the hay would have been
disposed of at about S. or Sc per
ton to be fed to cattle in the field.
AS it now is, it means the amount
paid for baling, as we'll ss the
cost of the hauling of the hay to
market, must be added the worth
Of the hay IN the stack, bringing
the price up to about S11 and $l2
per ton, or about double what was
formerly gotten for it, all of which
remains here in the valley, 1t is
not to be wondered at that ranch
ing is becoming the most profitable
business in the valley aud that all
of this added prosperity is due to
the railroad facilities we enjoy.

The Masonic Christmas Tree

Jensen's hall was crowded last
Saturday night, the occasion OF
the Masonic Christmas tree. The
entertainment began at 8 o'clock
and lasted for an hour. 1t began
with a very interesting program,
the first number of which was a
chorus by the High School girls,
entitled, "The Birthday of the
King. A recitation followed,
"An Experts Opinion" by Miss
Anna Hunter, which was very
nicely rendered and nicely receiv-
ed. A solo, "The holy City," by
Miss Elsie Lyons, was next on the
program. Miss Lyons has a very
sweet voice and she sang very well,
pleasing all who were present.
A duet, entitled "The Silent
Night" by Nora Doggett and
Elsie Lyons was the next number
and met with generous applause.
almost as quick as a Telephone
was a nice recitation by Miss
Frances Sears which met with the
approval of the audience. Miss
Lesta Andrews then sang,"A
Christmas Lullaby" in such a
manner as to meet with Il prompt
recall. Then followed a recitation
by Miss Florence Nixon, entitled
Poor Little Homeless joe" 1t
was a very pathetic piece and
Miss Nixon was generously app
lauded. The closing chorus by
the High School girls, "Hail to the
Savior who came as a Child" was
then given. Mrs Gustave Jensen
very kindly presided at the piano
during the rendition of the songs.
There was a very. large Christ
mas Tree next to the stage which
had been handsomely decorated
and brilliantly lighted. The little
folks were all on the tip-toe of
expectation when a telegram was
read, announcing that Santa Claus
had left Cow creek Is minutes
before and might be expected any
minute. A loud racket, accomp-
anied by the gingling of sleigh
bells, announced his coming aud,
sure enough, here he came, strid-
ing up the hall, shouting to the
children. Instantly there was a
breathless hush of wonder and
admiration, followed by applause
and shouts of. joy Santa Claus
ordered the children to form in
procession on the side Of the hall
and come forward and receive
their presents. 1t was u glorious
time and every one enjoyed the
occasion immensely, pronouncing
it a great success No little young
ster, not even the wee babies in
arms, was forgotten and it is safe
to say that the occasion will long
be remembered by the children
present.

Miss Patricia Holbrook and Miss Helen
HoIbrOok, her niece, were entrusted to
the care of Laurance Donovan, a writer,
summering near Port Annandale. Miss
Patricia confided to Donovan that she
feared her brother Henry, who, ruined by
a bank failure, had constantly threatened
her for money from his fathers will, of
which Miss Patricia was guardian. They
came to Port Annandale to escape Henry.
Donovan sympathiZed with the two
women. He learned of Miss Helen's an
noying sutton. Donovan discovered and
captured an intruder, who proved to be
Reginald Gillespie. sutton for the hand OF
Miss Helen Holbrook. Gillespie diSake
peared the following morning. A rough
sailor appeared and was ordered away.
Donovan saw Miss HolbrOok and her IA
Their meet on friendly terms. Donovan
fought an Italian assassin. He met the
man he opposed was HolbrOOk. but who
said he was H~artridge, a canoe-maker:
After a short discussion Donovan left
surli1y. Gillespie was discovered by Don
ovan presenting a country church with
81, 900. Gillespie admitted he knew of Hol-
brooks presence. Miss Pat acknowledged
to Donovan that Miss Helen had been
missing for a few hours. While riding
in a launch, the Italian sailor attempted
to modest the trio, but failed. Miss Pat
announced her intention of lighting Henry
Ho1broOk and not seeking another hiding
place. Donovan met Helen in garden at
night. Duplicity of Helen was confessed

I'VE could almost walk to the lake
I'VE the trees" said Miss Pat Its a
charming picture"
Then, as we all turned to the lake,
seeing it afar across the tree-tops
| through the fragrant twilight, I saw
the Stiletto standing out boldly upon
the waters of Annandale, with a Ian
guild impudence that | began to as
sociate with it's slim outlines and
snowy canvas Other craft were
abroad, and Miss Pat, I judged, spoke
only of the pr%ettiness of the general
landscape, and there was, to be sure,
no reason why the sails of the Stiletto
should have had any particular signif-
canoe for her. Helen was still looking
down upon the lake when Miss Pat
suggested hat we should go home;
and eve after her u called to her,
the girl still stood, one hand resting
upon the trunk of a great beech, her
gaze bent wistfully, mournfully to-
ward the lake. But on the homeward
drive-she had asked for the reins
again-her mood changed abruptly,
and she talked cheerily, often turning
her head-a scarlet-banded sailor hat
was, l thought, remarkably becoming
-to chaff about her skill with the
reins.
Il haven't a care or trouble in the
world" declared Miss Pat when | left
them at st. Agatha's. Il am sure that
we have known the worst that can
happen to us in Annandale. 1 refuse
to be a bit frightened after that
drive"
1T was charming" said Helen.
This is better than the English lax
country, because it isn't so smoothed
out"
Il will grant you all of that" I said.
81 will go further and admit-what is
much for me-that it is almost equal
to Killarney"
There seemed to be sincerity in
their good spirits, and l was myself
refreshed and relieved as 1 drove into
Glenarm; but l arranged for the same
guard as on the night before. Helen
Holbrook's double-dealing created a
condition of affairs that demanded
cautious handling, and 1 had no inten-
ton of being caught mapping.
From the window of my room l saw
the Japanese boy patrolling the walks
of st. Agatha's. A blackboard of young
sters from Port Annandale passed in
the road, leaving a trail of song be-
hind them. Then the frog choruses
from the little brook that lay hidden
in the Glenarm wood sounded in my
ears with maddening iteration, and l
sought the open.
The previous night I had met Helen
Holbrook by the stone seat on the
ridge, and 1 cannot deny that it was
with the hope of seeing her again that
I ~et forth. She was beautiful with a
rare loneliness at all times, yet 1 found
myself wondering whether, on the
strange frontiers of love, it was her
daring duplicity that appealed to me.
I set myself ~stubbornly into a pfllory
reared of my own shame at the
thought, and went out and climbed
upon the Glenarm wall and tared at
the dark bulk of ST. Agatha's as 1 pun
ished myself for having entertained
any other thought of Helen Holbrook
than of a weak, vain, ~ungrateful girl,
capable of making sad mischief for
her benefactor.
