The cold weather bugaboo-a coal
famine has cropped out. Rumors Of
a shortage Of fuel have been plenti-
full on the streets. The bins of the
local dealers have been depletd dur
ing tn present cold spell owing to a
heavy demand, and the present sup

new BILL FOR The
BENTON PROJECT
BUILD LOCKS ON The SNAKE
H. S. Anon ConfideEG Signature of
President Will Be
Secured.

KENNEWICK, Jan 12.-Howard
S. Anon, promoter in the Benton
power and irrigation project, will go
to Washington, D. c., the last of this
month in the interests of the enter
prise. At the last session of congress
bill was passed giving Mr.. Amon's
company the right to construct a dam
across the Snake river and with it
generate power for pumping water
for irrigation and other purposes.
The president did not then sign the
bill and has not done so.
Mr.. Anon says that Congressman
Fredericks of Minnesota will present
bill at this session which will do
away with some of the objections
against the Anon bill and it is
thought when this is passed the or
iginal bill will be amended accord
ing to the new law and will then he
signed.
Locks will be built around the
dam, by the company, SO that Snake
river navigation will in no way be in
terfered with. The company will Sc
cure 80 year franchise. With the
power 100000 acres would be put
under water.

WANTS ETHICS IN SCHOOLS.
University President Says Training
of Character Duty Of Teachers.

CHICAGO. Jan. 2.-Training of
character in the public schools
should have more attention than it
is now receiving, in the opinion OF
President Harry Pratt Judson of the
University of Chicago.
Presenting his views under the
heading, Religion in the Public
Schools" in the January number OF
"The Elementary School Teacher, y
issued from the University of Chi.
cago press yesterday. DR.. Judson
writes:
''The proper training OF character
should be carried into practice in ev-
cry school room in the land. II
should be made a part of the train
ing of every professional teacher
and should be foremost in the
thoughts of all to whom are intrust
ed the destinies of the youAng.
st is obvious that ethics of this
character involves, as has been
pointed out, code of conduct. and
at the same time an adequate pre-
,sentation of the motives of action
which lie back of the code"

MANS INHUMANHTY.

The 1nhumanity of man has been
exhibited in a number of cases dur
ing the past few days in the treat
ment of horses. Ever since last We'd
nesday the thermometer has lowered
around the zero mark, but neverthe-
less certain owners of teams have
left their poor horses standing on
the streets for hours at time COW
cred with nothing except a mantle
of snow to protect them from the
biting cold.
In new country it Is true that the
some means of providing for the COM
fort of cattle and horses is not at
hand as in communities where mod
ern conveniences are available. How
ever, the Yakima valley is supposed
to have passed that pioneer stage
and the prosperity Of the community
is such as to preclude the poverty ex-
"use. The weather was so mild a
year ago that the same precautions
against cold for either man or beast
were not necessary. The fact that
1t is necessary to clothe ones self
warmer for this weather than for n
mild season ought to be a sufficiently
convincing argument in support OF
the same policy for dumb beasts who
are absolutely unable to help them
selves or make their suffering known.
Many cattlemen have learned to
their sorrow that cattle cannot be
kept through cold spell on snow
bank diet and the man who will leave
team or a horse or any other ami
NAL out in the cold for FIVE hours in
zero weather without covering to pro-
tect him ought to be made to serve
a term in the filthy city jail If there
is no ordinance prescribing a suitable
penalty for that offense, one ought
to be passed and rigidly enforced.

EARTHQUAKE JARS SOUND.
Severest at Bellingham Where Plas-

Cities Visited.

BELL1NGHAM, Jan. 11.-Belling-
ham was shaken by earthquake at
3:45 this afternoon. The buildings
in all parts of the town were Jared
but no damage was done. Hundreds
Of people rushed into the streets.
The duration of the shock was about
10 seconds. Some brick buildings
were SO badly shaken that the plaster
fell to the floor and in some places
there was almost a panic as it was
thought the structures were tumb-
ling to the ground.
Reports of violence from the San
Juan group state that the shock was
more severe there. At Point Stanley,
Lopez, East Sound, Olga and other
places buildings we're damaged to a
considerable extent. No casualties
were reported.

FARMER GETS 500 PER COW
Plans to Increase Plant This Year
as Net Profits Are
Heavy.

PALOUSE, Jan. ~. William
Gribble. a pioneer farmer. two and
one-half miles southeast of Palouse,
tells an interesting story of the profits
made from his herd of pure-bred Jer-
sey cows during the last year.
From an average of six and one
half cows during the year the total
value of butter and cream sold was
s745; calves sold, $42.50; estimated
value of milk fed, SIS; estimated
value of cream and butter used at
home, SEQ, Total receipts for the
year, $92S.50.
The estimated cost per year for
feeding each cow is $45, leaving a
net profit sufficient to more than buy
the herd. Mr.. Gribble will increase
his herd during the coming year and
says that experience has taught him
that dairying will make the farmer
greater net profit than any other
branch of farming offered.

A SOLID FRONT.

The passing events of the year just
completed and the accompanying pro-
gress and growth of the community,
make it evident to any thoughtful
man that there are questions con-
fronting North Yakima which need
to be handled with care If the foun-
dations for city of twice or per-
haps three times the present size are
established along lines of intelligence.
The matters of sanitation and of
a pure water supply are vital to the
development of this city and it makes
no difference what difficulties lie in
the way, these questions must be
solved to the extent of protecting the
ofe and health of the community.
The money expenditure is of small
Importance as compared with the
ends to be gained, although econo-
nv must not be overlooked. in these
departments. any more than in any
other.
The apparent Willingness of the
members of the council to come to a
common understanding with Mayor
Armbruster, and despite individual
differences of opinion, to work in har-
mOnv with each other. cannot but
Drove an immense benefit to the en-
tire city during the coming year.
Nothing aside from graft and dis
honesty In office works greater havoc
IN municipal government than petty
wrangling over inconsequential mat
'ers. the outcome of which is insight
acant when compared to other ques-
lions of public moment.
The standpoint of the public well
fare must be kept constantly in mind
by the council and mayor and in the
end conscientious performance of
public duty, for the next twelve
months, will result in the institution
of some very important and neces-
sary changes in local conditions. Con-
sistent harmony on both sides will
prove of great assistance.

The stage setting was unusually
dramatic and for that matter quite

WHETHER LEADS THE TREND.

Some days ago the Herald had
something to say editorially with ref
erence to reform movements as touch
ing one phase of the much-mooted
question as to whether the world is
growing better.
An address of Dr. Joseph Kraus-
kopf of Philadelphia, one of the most
noted Jewish rabbis of the east, is
Just at hand, in which the distin-
guished gentleman discusses the di-
vorce evil.
In the course of his remarks, the
rabbi says that in his opinion the re-
suit of the divorce situation will be
a higher plane of living on the part
Of our people. He says that the fact
that last year one out of every twelve
marriages in this country ended in
separation, indicates that humankind
is CROPPING for happiness, the at
tainment of which has not been dis
covered.
the same standards will be recognized
for both men and women and that
the outcome of the present turmoil
cannot but be higher plane of moral
conduct.
The earliest authentic history that
we know shows a standard of moral
ethics decidedly lower than the one
which most people recognize today.
Old testament history is replete with
instances where men and women sue
cumbed to temptations that are the
parallel of any in present day life.
During the golden age of Greece
when the great philosophers gave
voice to understanding which rivals
any since that time, the moral life
sank to depths of rottenness not to
be found anywhere at the present
time outside of few large cities and
no doubt more nearly exemplified
now in Paris than anywhere else on
the globe. The Roman, civilization
succumbed to the same insidiuos
standards.
At the present time the highest
moral principles are practiced by the
English speaking peoples, although
occasionally a little ray Of light from
the inside of the social caldron emits
an inkling that some portions of our
people have tried to storm the cita-
dels Of degeneration erected by the
ancients and carry away the whole
obnoxious system intact.
Nevertheless, may 1t not be true
that the very fact that the great mid
die class. which constitutes the ma
jority of our people. really appre-
ciates that true happiness Is only
found in the living of life that is
beyound reproach; may this not be
an Indication that the majority OF
people are striving upward and that
their aims and desires are good, al
though they at times fail in the ac-
complisnment of them? This is what
the rabbi hints at and 1t seems to
contain deal of truth. The divorce
evil may be one phase of the perfect
home in process of evolution.
