NO ELECTION
ON SALOONS
FIGHT FOR OFFICES INSTEAD
Civic Federation Leaders Practically
Decide to Drop Local Option
Election Plan.

Dropping of the plan for a special
local option election this winter and
the projecting of a municipal cam
paign, with a view of electing no.
license mayor and councilman. was
practically the result of the meeting of
the executive committee of the Civic
Federation held Monday evening at
the Office of c. H. Hinman. The ses-
sion was attended by 20 leading men
of North Yakima, and the question as
to the methods to be pursued was dis
cussed for several hours, final adjourn
ment coming after IL o'clock.
None of the leaders would make a
direct statement as to the plans, but
said that no date had been set for
any special election, no call had been
issued for any and no attempt would
be made to circulate the necessary pc
titions.
The statement was made that the
members of the Civic Federation,
probably as an organization, would
take part in the municipal primaries
and election. The leaders believe that
they can secure a no-license council,
anticipating that Councilman Null and
that Councilman Shaw will be no
license if there is a chance of the no
license men winning. Councilmen are
TO be elected to succeed Councilmen
Miller, Meigs, Wight and Schorn The
no-license men of the Civic Federation
believe it will be possible to get three
out of this list of four new men.
Councilman Miller is expected to an
nounce his candidacy for the mayor
atty, and in such a case he will get
the support of the federation, accord
ing to the reports after the meeting
had adjourned. Councilman Miller
has been one of the city officials to
aid the federation in its work, and his
sympathies are known to be entirely
in harmony with the plans of that or
ganZation.

EIGHT GOING TO PRISONS
ED. Burnap of Toppenish Sentenced
on Saturday. Completes Long List
for Officers.

Eight bootleggers, sentenced during
the past week by Judge Preble. were
taken to prisons on onday, four
going to Walla Walla penitentiary and
four to the state reformatory. Ed
Burnap of Toppenish was the eighth
bootlegger sentenced when he plead
ed guilty before Judge Preble On Sat
urday and was given an indeterminate
sentence of from one to two years in
the penitentiary Burnap pleaded
that he sold the liquor to an Indian
while intoxicated and would not other
wise have made the deal. This did not
bring leniency from the court, and he
received the usual sentence of such
cases.
Sheriff Lancaster and his deputies
and Prosecuting Attorney Ward are
much pleased with the success of
their campaign against bootlegging on
the reservation. The final work has
not been accomplished and there will
be another roundup during the COM
ing week and some more sentences
are expected.
Sheriff Lancaster is on the trail of
several men who will be brought be-
fore the court, and ii is not improb-
able that in more than one instance
the evidence will warrant prosecution
under the federal as well as the state
law.

we realized that the inside of the
coWcatcher must be generously
sprinkled with blood and corruption,
as most obnoxious odor assailed us.
| later discovered that one of my
trouser legs had been plentifully an
ointed.
But at the time I could only gasp
at the tragedy enacted so near us, and
my partner. when he saw it coming,
shrieked "Jesus!" which in his case
believe was not swearing, but a
prayer.
At Ellensburg they took off our en-
and we successfully repeated our slip
off and slip back performance on the
m ountain. This time it was very diff
fcult to do, as l could hardly stand.
but we found the third cowcatcher
more commodious and I got the kinks
out of my knees a little.
We now ran without a stop for one
hour. Then we began to slow down
for North Yakima, probably for wa
ter. OF course we didn't know what
place it was ur Ill later. l had been
finding it hard to keep awake-I had
no sleep for two nights previous
and | told my partner l was going to
leave it. He said he had had all that
he wanted and so we fell off. more
dead than alive.
l was like drowned rat, black
with SCOT from head to heel and
trembling like a leaf, and to top all, in
a strange town with 90 cents in my
pocket! My partner had strangely
disappeared. 1t was raining again. I
began to look for a policeman to ask
for advice.
A man was standing in front of a
hotel drinking whiskey out of a bot
tie. He was feeling pretty good. took
me by the arm and said: "Well, you
are a sight, but you've got good face
if it wasn't so black" Well, to short
en- long story, he saw me safe past
the clerk and into bathtub and bed
All my clothes and shoes went to
the cleaners. The hat was beyond
redemption. They took my word that
I could raise the money. Sent me up

rant when I woke at 4 this afternoon

NO POLITICS: FINE COUNTRY
New York Newspaper Man Says
Party Has Travelled in a Different
Country Past Few Days.

New thoughts as well as new seem
cry and new people are confronting
the president and his party as they
travel westward The subjects on
which people in the east are thinking
are not the subjects on which the peo-
pie of the west are thinking. East of
Minnesota the presidents tour has
been one of politics. West of Mime
sofa the prevailing thought among the
people has been real estate This
is the opinion of Harry l.. Dunlap of
the New York World who was in
North Yakima Wednesday with the
president. By real estate" Mr.. Dun
lap meant what people of this section
mean when they say land"
Secret of Enthusiasm.
81 am just writing to my paper"
said Mr.. Dunlap to a Herald man who
called on him. that the secret of the
enthusiasm with which the Taft party
is met in the west is out. The people
have someone new to whom to talk
real estate. And they are doing it.
Back here in Spokane, and 1 might
say in one or two other places. the
people have come mighty near, in one
or two instances, to selling land to
party appreciates the difference from
the east
What have you got here in the way
of politics." said the president to
man with whom he was talking not a
million miles from here.
Nothing was the answer, but We
have a hell of fine country And
that wasn't the only instance. We are
hearing about the fine country
wherever we go. Why Yakima is the
eleventh place we have reached in the
past few days which is the finest fruit
producing section of the United
States And we have been told it
seriously every time we have heard it.
Every man believes in his country and
is enthusiastic about the great west.
Have Got Prosperity.
what have you in common with
the people of the east in a political
way" asked the president of man
at Spokane last night.
Nothing, politically said the
! man, but we've got prosperity
And you certainly are great peo-
pie out here" said Mr.. Dunlap. I'VE
can see that by your cities You peo-
pie here now cannot be compared with
city of the same population in the
! east To find a comparison at all we
have to select some eastern city of
twice your size. l have been on these
kind of trips for two years and have
! been from Boston to Panama and all
| through the east and middle west
Learning Something New.
II thought l knew the United
! States, but l find that because l had
never been this way before there was
a whole lot 1 didn't know. The man
who hasn't met you people in these
northwestern states hasn't learned ii
all. And the man who said you have
prosperity was right.
II was down street this morning to
make little purchase. l didn't do ii
because your stores We're closed. By
and by, maybe, we will reach some
place which doesn't close up because
we are coming and then 1 will buy a

I asked the captain what he was
going to do-what were his plans for
the future.
81 guess I'll have to go back" he
replied. There is nothing for me
here. am not good enough for
anything else. The lure of the north
is in my blood and I've got to go
back.
Man. you don't know what ii is.
You've got to go up there to under
stand. l knew the commander was
going to get there. | never doubted
it for moment. If I had I wouldn't
have gone. 1 would have got some
job as a captain of a vessel where
I could have earned much more. l
really didn't think 1 would have to go
back until I had reached the SSth
parallel. Then the commander said
must go back. that he had decided
to take Matt Hensen
"I-well, it was a bitter disappoint-
ment. I got up while the rest were
asleep early the next morning and
started north alone.
81 don't know; perhaps I cried a
little. Perhaps I was just a little
crazy then. 1 thought perhaps I
could walk ont he rest of the way
alone. 1t seemed so near. Here I
had come thousands of miles, and it
was only little over hundred more
to the Pole.
Commander Peary figured on five
marches more. and it seemed as if
1 could make it alone. even if didn't

felt so strong I went along for five
miles or so and then I came to my
senses and knew I must go back.
Forced to Turn Back.
'They We're up at the camp then
and getting ready to start. Never
mind whether there were any words
or not. I toll the commander if
was going 10 be any hindrance, and
perhaps make q failure out of it, l
would turn around and go back He
said | must go. 50 [ had to do it. But
my mind had been set on it for so
long | had rather de than give it up
then. When / started on the back
trail I couldn't believe it was really
true at first, and I kind of went in
daze. I can tell you every lead we
CTpSStu ana just now Idf We went on
every march and all about the ice on
the trip up. but as l thought of it
afterWard l could not remember any,
thing about coming back until I got
TO the ship.
Back to the Arctic.
Then l heard of poor Marvin and
almost envied him. But that dis
tracted my mind until the boss got
back and then l was busy getting the
Roosevelt through the ice.
Now It all comes back to me and
there is nothing for me here I am
not good for anything else. One who
has not been into the arctic does not
know what it means. There is a
| strange fascination that you cannot
resist and it just draws you back.
Il cannot explain it. I just know
it. l didn't know that 1 was not
going to the Pole until the last mo-
ment. I thought this time that at
last l was going to get there, and then
the commander said I had to go
back-that he had decided to take
Matt Henson instead of me. l am
going back to the North Pole and I'll
never die happy until I get to it,"

FLOWERS FOR TAFT.
President Finds Table Decorated by
Yakima Ladies.

When President Taft sat down to
breakfast in his private car Wednes-
day morning, he found his table pro-
fusely decorated with beautiful Yaki-
ma flowers. hTey were presented by
a committee of women consisting of
Mrs. John Lynch. Mrs. John weigle
and Mrs. James Loudon.
Later in the day he was presented
with second crop strawberries from
the ranch of W. T. Spar,.man.
The local Japanese planned to pre-
sent him with flowers as he left the
city but owing to the fact that the
train went half an hour earlier than
announced, the Japs did not arrive in
time TO do so.
