PROMOTION COMES
TO MAJOR LEMON
Is Called to Seattle to Stand Exami-
nation for the Office of Lieu
tenant Colonel.

Major w. l.. Lemon has been
ordered to report at Seattle November
Is for examination for promotion to
the post of lieutenant colonel of the
National Guard of Washington.
Major Lemon is the senior major.
Because of the transfer of Major
Ghormley to the artillery and the pro-
motion of Lieutenant Colonel Otto H.
Case a vacancy exists in the latter po-
sition and Major Lemon is given the
opportunity to qualify. The time is
short but friends of the local man be-
lieve that this fact will make no diff
ference
Captain Curry, of Company f, of
North Yakima, of the National
Guard, stands well down in the list
of those in line for the vacant post of
major, being tenth in point of
seniority. AS, however, there have
been a great many transfers of one
kind and another in the service, his
friends here hope that he may find
himself well up, if not next for pro-
motion to the position of major.

The Merchant and the Saloon.

Few points in the temperance con-
troversy has been so stubbornly con-
tested as to whether the saloon hurts
or helps business. Volumes have been
published and many vocal organs
strained on both sides and Figures
that will not lie,' have been so ar
ranged as to prove the truth of both
sides. In Kansas, a prohibition state,
it has been proved beyond doubt
that prohibition drove the business of
that state to the license states of Mis-
ouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska; while it
was proved beyond question that under
prohibition the people were sober. in
dustrious, prosperous, paying off their
mortgages, putting money in the bank,
merchants happy and the jails empty.
Pendleton, Oregon, is another exam
pie cited. The dealers in wet goods are
chanting a wall of woe; the dealers in
dry goods are singing songs of success
Newspapers report the chant or the
song, depending on the class with
which the writer. the reporter or the
editor happens to belong. Business
is dead" weeps one. Business is
booming" shouts the other. Both are
telling the truth; for the saloon bust
ness is dead; the police force is most
ly discharged. the courts are deserted,
the police lawyers sit with their feet
on the table waiting for clients, the
judges office is deserted; the jails are
empty and the saloon loafers are at
work, earning a living for their. FAM
lilies. Business is prosperous" says
the merchant, and he tells the truth
too: for the men who used TO spend
their time in the saloon are earning
money now. They not only earn it,
but they spend it for groceries, and the
grocers are so enlarging their business
that they will soon occupy the build
ings once occupied by saloons, with
branch stores that employ more clerks
The dry goods men are happy because
those who formerly spent their money
and time in the saloon are buying
clothing, bedding, hats and shoes

NEVER HEARD ABOUT YAKIMA
Arthur Coffin Finds That Washington
Apples Are Little Know in Chicago
and New York.

"They never heard of the Yakima
valley" says Arthur Coffin, writing
from New York to his brother, ii
Stanley Coffin. New York and Chi
cago." says Mr.. Coffin, know more
about Colorado apples than they do
of the Washington apples" and then
he makes his remark about their
knowledge of Yakima. Mr.. Coffin
however, did not expect to find in the
great eastern cities a large proportion
of people able to tell the per capita
production of this county
Mr.. and Mrs. Coffin are now in their
way to the Mediterranean on the
steamer King Albert on which they
sailed Oct 23 from New York. Their
plans now are to go to Genoa, Nice
and Cairo. They will remain 10 days
at Nice and will then cross over into
Africa.
New York has undergone a great
many changes, in the opinion of Mr..
Coffin since he saw it 10 years ago.

cago and other large cities he was
more impressed with New York than
ever before and thinks IL a much
