WILL WRESTLE
WITH DRAINAGE
AFFECTS PROPOSED vIADUCI
City Engineer 10 Work Out Plan Of
Relief and Council Will Try to
Finance New Drain.

That an adequate solution of the
drainage of the city is to occupy the
attention of the council during the
coming months was evidenced at the
council meeting Monday night when a
resolution was offered by Councilman
Miller instructing City Engineer Doc
little to conduct Investigations that
will effectually do away with water
in city Easements for years to come.
This resolution was offered after City
Attorney Frank ]. Allen had given a
report on the conference held with
the Northern Pacific Officials last
Wednesday in which the officials had
stated that whatever agreement that
might be arrived at affecting the con-
struction of the Chestnut street via
duct, the city would be expected to
maintain it and keep it free from
water.
Preliminary Steps Taken.
Inasmuch as the maintenance Of
the viaduct is regarded as properly
within the province of the city. and
Furthermore inasmuch as an adequate
drainage system is imperative, it was
the opinion of the city fathers that
the drainage problem in toto should
be settled at once. 1t was pointed out
that the viaduct must have clearance
of at least 10 feet and that water al
ready stands in Easements or has
stood in Easements that are scarcely
eight feet. Councilman Miller and
Shaw were appointed committee to
a nd ne nf financing
new city drain.
c. H. Elliott of the United States
department of agriculture and head
of the drainage division is now in
North Yakima and City Engineer
Doolittie is comforting with him in
regard to the location and capacity of
a drain which will properly meet the
'city's needs.
New Auto Ordinance.
The old auto ordinance which is
supposed to have regulated the speed
of this city's 200 autos having been
discovered inadequate because it pre-
scribes that machines shall not exceed
a speed of s miles an hour, was
changed by an amendment passed at
the council meeting Monday night
making it comply with the state law
which provides speed in cities of not
TO exceed IL miles an hour and four
miles an hour at street intersections.
Under the old ordinance there were
few autos in the city that could con-
form to the eight mile an hour limit
unless they ran on the gear.
Salary Bill Held Up.
Councilman Meigs took exception to
bill from the health department for
$40 for DR.. Nywenning's office assist
ant. This amount has been allowed
for a few months because one or two
of the councilmen believed DR.. Ny
wenning was entitled to the services
of an assistant and had told him that
the council was willing to allow him
500 a month on her salary, A
majority of the council demurred and
the bill was held up along with DIR.
Nywenning's salary.
Pawn Broker Blind.
Because Israel Mondell, proprietor
of pawn brokers' establishment on
Chestnut street has lost his eyesiCht
and is totally blind. the petition OF
his son-in-law. Rudolph Lissitz to
have his license transferred to him,
was granted. Mr.. Mondell is now in
the hospital in Seattle.

SYDNEY, C. B.. Sept. 3O.-Walking
the streets of Sydney glum, detected
and heartbroken, is Capt. Robt. Bart
lett, commapder of the Roosevelt, the
man who took Peary's boat into the
teeth of the frozen arctic ocean and
then led the tramp northward to the
SSth degree of latitude, 100 miles
from the Pole.
Here in sydney. where everybody
knows him, they would laugh you
to scorn were you to say that this
big. broad shouldered skipper, this
six-feet-four of husky bone and steel
spring muscle had ever bowed his
head in tears. Yet the captain will
tell you himself, if you have his con-
fidence, that he cried when Peary
turned him-the last white man
back at So degrees north latitude.
He pleaded to go on, but Peary was
obdurate, and moved on with the Es-
kimos and Henson.

the captain, watching them out OF

MIR. BRYAN AND THE SENATE.
why He WOaId Not shine In the Up-
per Branch of Congress.
Washington Star.

Wa
Mr.. Bryan has been most fortunate in
escaping election to the senate. Had he
been elected senator the winter followins
his first defeat for the presidency, his
national leadership would have been
brought to an end and his party left at
liberty to look about for its candidate for
1900. And II the present Nebraska legls-
lature had a senstorship TO bestow and
bestowed II o n Mr.. Bryan, the democratic
problem for 1912 would be greatly simpli-
fled.
In the senate Mr.. Bryan would be out Of
his element, and therefore at a disadvan-
tage. He could not lead. and so would
simply be one member among many. 1t
may be granted that he would be an in
teresting member, but principally so to
the galleries. On the floor his Influence
would be small,
In the first place, In the opinion of even
his own party friends in the senate. he
lacks balance. And balance In the senate
counts. The leader of the majority must
have 1t in an eminent degree, and the
leader of the minority finds use for a good
deal. Neither Mr.. Allison nor MIR. Cor
man, who opposed each other for years,
was a brilliant man. but both were clear.
headed and fun of calculation. Mr.. Cul-
berson, the present minority leader, owes
his place to his solid qualities.
In the second place, Mr.. Bryan would
have to adjust his shining qualities TO
an atmosphere unsuited to mere brilliancy.
The senate will not tolerate what in cam
paigning circles passes for ~eloquence. The
member who flies high soon finds himself
out OF sight and hearing OF his colleagues.
They refuse 10 follow him. Their interest
10 In things nearer earth, Mr.. Bryan would
either have to clip his wings. or, INDUCING
in fun sweep Of pinion. take his flight
simply for entertainments sake. And while
some senators are entertainers between ses-
sions Of the senate, few care 10 be such
in the chamber itself.
Mr.. Bryan's gifts are Of that character,
and his success with them has been such
that It seems 10 be the presidency. or
nothing for him in politics. He has tried
the house to small purpose. He had only
a qualified success there. and left OF his
own accord. lie would find the senate
quite as little TO his taste, and neither the
governorship OF q state nor a cabinet office
would afford him the swing he needs 10
exhibit his strongest powers. He is pre-
eminently an agitator, and has done service
in that field 30 Ions now he could not with
comfort to himself or profit TO his cause
tie himself down to public affairs on a
limited scale in what he would consider a
subordinate post, senator Bryan. or Gov
ernor Bryan, or Secretary Bryan would
show q sprinter In hobbles
