Y.M.C.A. Is NOW READY
Popular Lecture Course Is Made up
and Seat Sale Begins.
Tuesday.

For the season or 1909-10 the Y.
NJ. c. A. has provided a lecture course
that will be the equal, If not the su-
perior of that of last season. The
aim of the association is to give these
courses at cost. Last year the ASSOC
citation received s1,769.40 and spent
s1,75zs0.
The course for this season will con-
sist of five numbers, as follows:
Senator Robert L. Taylor, of Ten
| nessee. October, II, 1909.
The Central Grand Concert COM
pany, November Is, 1909.
Eugene Laurant, the Man of Many
Mysteries, March 4, 1910.
The College Singing Girls and Wal
ter Eccles, April %, 1910.
To those who know "Bob" Taylor,
there could be no more welcome an
nouncement than that he is to lecture.
He is more than genius in his way
and today stands alone as the great
portrayer, upon the lecture platform,
Of the beauties of nature, and the de-
lineator of the humber characters.
His is a heart of melody and a
tongue of gold.
The Central Grand Concert COM
pany is composed of four people, each
of whom is a notable artist. Four
such imposing figures are not often
assembled in one company.
No higher tribute has ever been
paid the lyceum movement than when
Mr.. Frederick Wards, the eminent
exponent of Shakespeare, and one Of
Americas greatest tragedians, de-
liberately forsook the theatrical stage
for the lecture platform.
Mr.. Eugene Laurant is truly the
Man oy Many Mysteries. No magician
of the past of present time has ever
been able to offer a more wonderful
program than is presented by Mr..
Laurant.
The College Singing Girls and Wal
ter Eccles proved to be one of the
greatest successes of the lyeeum. The
eight young ladies of the company
are unusually talented and versatile.
The sale reserved seats for the sea-
sons course will begin at the Y. NJ.
c. A. at ten o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, October S, 1909. The prices for
season tickets, including reserved
saat will be $3.50 for the most desir-
able seats, and $500 for the others;
these are the prices to members who
will be limited to two tickets at thil
rate. To non-members the prices will
be $500 for the best seats and $3.50
for the others.
Following the plan of last year. one
half of the seats will be on sale at
the Association building on Tuesday
morning, October s. at 1000 o'clock
and the other half at $50 p. m.
The numbers this year will be given
in the New Christian church instead
of the First Methodist as heretofore.

TAF~rS MEN MAY
INVEST MONEY HERE
Detective and Newspaper Man Are
Impressed With Country and In
innate They Will Bring Capital

Taft's visit to North Yakima began
to have its publicity effect before the
president left the city last Wednesday.
Several of his party were innoculated
with the Yakima germ by that famous
auto trip over Mob hill and it is not
unlikely that they will invest money in
the valley.
One of those in the Taft party who
was enthused by the Mob Hill orchads
was none other than James Sloane,
Jr., the presidents able protector who
is known for his achievements as a
detective throughout the country.
What is the sense of we fellows
wearing ourselves out back east when
we can do so much better out in this
country" Sloane is said to have re-
markell to one of the other secret SER
vice men after the auto trip.
Newspaper Man Interested.
Equally important was the interest
in the country displayed by sherman
p. Allen, correspondent of the New
York Herald with the Taft special. H.
G. Lucas rode in the same car with
Mr.. Allen, and said that the newspa-
pei man III h ilolt questions AT MN
in a shorter length of time than any
one he had ever before met.
He wanted to know the prevailing
rate of interest. kind of security and
everything else conceivable relating
to loans said Mr.. Lucas. when
we parted he said he had a few thou
sand dollars back east which he might
see fit to invest in this locality"
North Yakima is bound to get con-
siderable valuable publicity in the
New York papers as a result of the
visit of tho spondents They
We're an Impressed with the city and
surrounding country, and the several
interC sting incidents OF the PRESIDENT
visit here are sure to be given space
in the eastern papers.

Men Past Fifty i'm Danger.

Men past middle life have found
comfort and relief in Foley's Kidney
Remedy, especially Tor enlarged pros
tate gland, which is very common
among elderly men. L. E. Morris. Dex-
ter, KY, writes: up to a year ago my
father suffered from kidney and blad-
der trouble and several physicians
pronounced it enlargement of the
prostate gland and advised an opera
ton. On account of his age we were
afraid he could not stand it and
recommended Foley's Kidney Remedy
and the first bottle relieved him and
after taking the second bottle he was
no longer troubled with this COM
plant. North Yakima Drug Store. A.

WRIGHT FLIES
OVER FLEETS
CREATES SENSATION IN NEW YORK
Dashes Through Aid Over Craft of
Five Nations at Speed of Forty-six
Miles an Hour.

NEW YORK, Oct. Am aeroplane
flashed past the white dome of Grants
tomb today then turning gracefully in
midair over the water of Hudson river,
shot falcon-lilke back to Governors
Island, 10 miles away. Wilbur Wright
of Dayton, Ohio, thus made one of
the most spectacular flights in aero
nautic history. over the masts of war;
ships Wright flew for 90 miles. 10
miles up and 10 miles back, remaining
in the air 3S minutes and 33 seconds,
and alighting at the aerodrome with
out mishap.
During the flight, business was prac-
tically at a standstll in all that part
of Manhattan from which view of
his remarkable performance was
available. Harbor craft shrieked
their applause, cheer after cheer swept
up from the banks of the Hudson and
lower bay, for the aviator had made
good" browning the aviation pro-
gram of the Hudson-Fulton celebra-
ton with a record. When Wright
reached Governors Island, shortly
after 8 O'Clock, the wind was blowing
10 miles an hour with the sky over
cast. In the face of these conditions
Wright called for volunteers to tow
his machine to the starting rail. Amid
the clatter of the machine exhaust,
which sounded like musketry fire,
Wright climbed into his seat in the
aeroplane and in a moment was off.
With the planes slightly tilted to one
side the machine slowly assembled to a
height of barely 20 feet, while it
swooped in a semi-circle toward the
waters edge. Here the presence of
many craft caused him to ascend fur
Their into the air.
Over the warships of four great
powers he passed, his progress marked
by cheers from the sailors of his own
country, those Of Great Britain, Ger
many, France and Italy. When the
airship reached the British cruiser
Argyle, anchored above Grants tomb.
Wright brought his direction rudders
into play and describing an easy and
graceful curve, started on the return
journey down the river. The wind
conditions which had bothered him on
the upward journey were now favOra-
BILE, and it was here that the speed
possibilities of the machine were
demonstrated. The return voyage
was made at the rate of 46 miles an
hour Nearing the harbor entrance,
he gradually lessened his height, and
after passing Governors Island the
vessel veered sharply around and
landed with the ease Of a bird.

GIRLS LEAD BOYS IN
CHILDREN'S SCHOOL
Enrolment in City Kindergartens
Shows Decided Surplus of
Feminine Scholars.

Are women to outnumeber men in
the west in a few years? Is Wash
ington to copy the feminine prepond
erance of Massachusetts? If the sex
proportion of the rising generation is
fairly represented on the roster of
the city kindergartens, the matter is
one for alarm. In one Of the kinder
gartens there are % girls to boys
and in the other the proportion is
about three to one in favor of the girls.
Miss Scudders kindergarten, too, is
distinctly feminine this year.
Curiously enough last year condi-
tons were just the reverse. 1t was
then the boys who were most in evil
dence.
AS fair proportion of the little
children belong to new residents and
do not claim Yakima for their birth
place, there is probably no ground for
any speculation as to the effect of eli
mate on sex. AS the male population
of the state also, is still considerably
in excess of the female and the young
men of this and other communities
still continue, to some extent to i'm
port their wives from the east, there
is no need yet why girl babies should
be reduced to the Chinese status of
undesirables.
Kindergartens Popular.
Kindergartens, which are still
something of an innovation in the
school system here, and which have
not yet taken their place in the
course of instruction in the other
cities of the state except Seattle, are
proving here a decided success. The
enrolment at the Central kindergar-
ten is already 33 this year while last
year the first of its existence, it
started out with only six babies, run
ming up to upwards of thirty, how
ever, in a few weeks. The Columbia
kindergarten, which was the pioneer
kindergarten here, begins this fall its
third year. There are about thirty
west side children who attend here.
The value of the kindergarten
training is apparent to the first grade
| teachers, who find. they say, that the
little ones who have learned the use
of their hands in this preliminary
year of combined work and play, take
up the grade work much more easily
than those who go directly into the
| first grade from their homes.
A Funny Story.
They We're telling stories the other
day at one of the city kindergartens
during morning circle" There were
several visiting parents enjoying to
the full the naive recitals of the ba-
bies. One small boy demanded of the
Kindergarten, Shall 1 tell a funny
story?"
Yes" she said. tell funny story

JEWELER WANTS JOB;
GETS ONE QUICK
Secretary James and Edward Ii
Leckey Cinch Two New Residents
in Short Order.

Edward B. Leckey, the jeweler, and
n. P. James, secretary of the Com
mercial club cinched two new resi-
dents and some money for North
Yakima in brief space of time Sat
urday. Mr.. James received letter
from a young jeweler of Erie, Pa,
expressing wish to come to North
Yakima and settle on a ranch with
his mother, providing he could get
a chance to follow his trade in this
city. He wondered if Mr.. James would
find out if there was an opening in
any of the local jewelry stores
Ordinarily Mr.. James merely replies
to such requests that he will do what
he can for :the writer, though it is
difficult to secure positions for people
who live at such distance and whose
qualifications are not known. He
wrbte such a letter to the young jew
eler in Pennsylvania and then went
down on the street where he met Mr..
Leckey. The secretary of the COM
mercial club was impressed with the
earnestness of the letter from Erie
and with the references it contained
as to the authors ability and char
acter

Don't want a good man, do you? p"
asked Mr.. James of Mr.. Leckey.
you bet I do" replied the latter.
Mr.. James showed the jeweler the
letter from Erie, and Mr. Leckey i'm
mediately sent the following wire to
Erie:
Come at once; steady position;
salary satisfactory; good opportun-
ity."
When Secretary James reached his
office, the letter he had written to the
young jeweler had not been mailed.
Mr.. James added a postscript telling
Of his talk with Mr.. Leckey and hop
ing that the Pennsylvania man would
accept the offer

Temperance Workers Will Try for W

North Yakima will make an effort to
get the w. c. T. L. convention for
eastern Washington next year. Dele
gates from the local unions will go to
the Spokane convention armed with
an invitation. With the Civic Fedora
ton planning a local option campaign,
and with Evangelist Billy" Sunday
scheduled to appear here next sum-
mer, the temperance women feel that
this will be a good battle ground for
their efforts and hope to secure the
convention for this part of the state.
