FROM FATHER TO SON.
Daring Defense Of the Party OF the
Second Part.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Tommy Whackleton and his venerated
father were just coming out of an exec

his eye and the latter holding a hair
brush firmly in his hand, bristle side up.

addressing the opposition, IF you have
anything further to say upon this par

present"
II have a few questions to put to the
party of the first part" rejoined Tommy.
Proceed" said Mr.. Whackleton, seat

Did you not once assure me, father,

Yes. my son." said the old gentleman.

Nothing, SIR replied the boy. 1T shall

TiETON WORKERS. TO
CELEBRATE JULY I
Plan for Baseball. Athletics. Dancing.
Fireworks and Other Attractions
at Camp No. 1.

Reclamation workers in the Teton
are to celebrate July 4, beginning
early in the morning of July and
continuing until the end of July A.
The celebration is to be at Camp No
l and will include a great variety of
attractions from baseball to fireworks
and from acrobratics to dancing. They
have some good ball players in the
reclamation service. There is a team
at Camp No. Il and another at Camp
No. 16. There is also another team
made up from several of the camps.
There will be games Saturday and
Sunday. Saturday night there are to
be fireworks, which are the gift of
Project Engineer SwiSert. There will
be pin wheels and Sky rockets, fire.
crackers and roman candles.
Provide for Visitors.
Camp No. 1 is nine miles above
NacheS. The service expects to have
the presence of it's 500 workers and
in addition a large number of visitors
from the city. A pavilion is being
erected, music has been provided for
and there will be much done for the
comfort and entertainment of the
patrons of the service amusement
committee. The program for Satur-
day embraces baseball at 10 o'clock
in the morning; athletics from until
O'Clock in the afternoon; a hori-
zontal bar performance from 4 until
APO in the afternoon and again from
until 500 in the evening. There
will also be fireworks and dancing.
As an indication of the manner in
which the undertaking is being
pushed by the workers w. C. Bunce,
who came to North Yakima Saturday
from the Tieton says that the COM
mittee on funds raised $3.50 in a very
short period of work. This fund, he
says, will be augmented and the re-
suit will be that as many more feat
ures will be added to the program as
the time will permit Of.

EMIL MILLER WAS TRAINER
Tells of His Experience With Great
Animal Importer When Mere Boy
Trainers His Friends.

Emil Miller. recently proprietor of
the Pacific Grill and well known
young man in this city. claims the dis
tinction of having worked for Carl
Hagenbeck, owner OF the Hagenbecll
shows which are to SHOW in this city
Friday, when he was only ten years
of age. Mr.. Miller was with the Hag-
cnbeck show in st. Louis during the
st. Louis exposition also and is a per-
sonal friend of John Dudack, the po-
lar bear trainer, also of Herman Bo-
gel who handles the lions.
Carl Hagenbeck is the father of the
trained wild animal business. He is a
German and his trained wild animal
market in Hamburg, Germany is said
to cover an area larger than the space
occupied by all of the city of North
Yakima. He is the only large import
er of the natives of the jungle and to
him all of the menagcrie men must go
to get their beasts. Mr.. Hagenheck
soils the animals that prove incapable
of training for circus displays and re-
tains the intelligent ones for his own
shows.
The polar bear act and the lion act
that are shown i'm the autographs on
the bill boards are no eXaggeration of
the real thing. Those very acts have
been witnessed in the east by many To-
cal people and they reveal the won
derful feats that may be accomplished
with the widest and most savage jun
gle denizens.
Mr. Miller is anticipating fine visit
with his old friends when they appear
here next Friday and says that he
made the mistake of his life when ne
severed his connections with the Hag-
enbeck show at the close of The St
Louis exposition.

any sort can be routed by the free use
of air slaled lime. Sprinkle freely
