HELPING HAND FOR THE NEEDY
Salvation Army Practices Practical
Teachings of Good Samaritan
-Four Suffering Families.

Needy and suffering families are
still being supplied with food and
fuel by the emissaries of the Saliva
ton Army. Friday four families liv-
ing in four different parts of the city
were given food and a quarter of a
ton of coal. The four boxes of food
sent out contained sacks of -four and
oatmeal, bacon and beef, and tea and
coffee. In some instances where the
cases demanded clothing for the chill
dren was sent.
A relief store has been established
by Captain Jenkins. On the shelves
Of this department are grocery sup
plies, and in another room is a big
pile of clothing that has been dis
carded by people in prosperous cir
cumstances. Daily application is
made for clothing by needy families
or tramps. One child was fitted out
who did not have enough clothing on
her back to make good pretense Of
keeping out the cold.
The relief work so far, in both the
soup kitchen and aid department, has
been kept moving by popular sub
scription Captain Jenkins took oc-
casion Friday to remark on the char
liable inclinations of North Yakima
people and the support he had been
accorded. Some of the contributions
have come from unusual and unex-
pected sources. The soup kitchen
Friday fed about 70 homeless men,
besides the food sent out to families.
The soup kitchen will be maintained
only until the cold weather subsidies
or work opens up.

BARLEYCORN WRECKS CAREER
Man Claiming to BE Hughie Cannon,
Famous End Man, Pounds Front
Street Piano.

Anyone who ever went to min
strel show or likes rag time has
heard or seen Hughie Cannon. Five
years ago Cannon was one of the
brightest stars of the minstrel world,
and composer of music and songs,
mostly of the whistling kind. OF late
he has dropped from the public eye,
and his name is no longer emblazon-
ed on the bill boards.
Humping on battered piano in
Front street saloon. man. who
claims that he is the former minstrel
star, sat Friday. and for pounding
out ragtime received drinks and a
few cents for meals. His familiarity
with the keys could come only with
experience. and now and then in the
drink-cracked voice, came a clear,
sweet note. Ragtime, perfect in har-
mony and execution. was dispensed
for the benefit of the idle loungers
The man who claims he is Cannon
has seen better days. but whiskey
has|about completed the wrecking of
his life. ]. r. Davis of Denver. a
travelling salesman, is positive that
the man is the former minstrel star.
Davis met Cannon while working in
Denver theatre, Asked if he re-
membered certain incidents the al.
legged Cannon answered correctly.
Davis demonstrated with the man to
take a brace and try and recover his
lost laurels, but Cannon, If such he
is. retorted, "booze has got me: it's
no use."

LOCAL OPTION.
LESS DRINKS
HOW LAW RESULTS IN. MlCHIGAN
Reports That Anti-Saloon Action
Brings More Intoxication Is
Not Upheld.

Reports that anti-saloon action
under the local option law, such a
step as it is anticipated Yakima
county will take If local option
law is passed by the legislature, re-
suit in increase instead of decrease
Of intoxication and number CT
"drunks," are not upheld by the re-
port of the prosecuting attorney of
Pontiac, Mich, - as to that place. The
following resume of the report Is
published in the Pontiac Press Ga
zette and, in view of the prospective
passage of local option law, is of
much interest:
THE regular semi-annual report
Of the work accomplished by the pros
ecuting attorneys office for the six
months ending December 81, 1908,
was today completed by F. l.. Covert
and will be mailed to the attorney
general today. Special interest CEN
ters about this statement, it being
the first semi-annual report made by
the prosecutor covering six months of
local option rule in Oakland county.
The official made report in July but
1t was a statement covering three
months with local option and three
months previous to its adoption, SO
no definite idea of the workings of
the law could be drawn. Not so with
the present report, however, for the
months comprised in it are all in
cluded in the local option rule and
at least the last three were during
a vigorous enforcement of the law.
"The report of the prosecuting at
torney's office for the six months
ending December 81, 1907, showed
that there were nine arrests on the
charge of drunkenness, SO under the
head of drunkard and tippler, six
for second offense drunkard and tip
pier, and 40 unclassified. The un-
classified list comprised cases where
liquor was the cause of the arrest
but where the persons arrested were
not charged with being drunkards
and tipplers. The report for the six
months ending December 81, 1908,
showed there we're seven arrested on
a charge of being drunk, 80 for be-
ing drunkards and tipplers, six on a
charge of drunkards and tipplers,
second offense, one on a charge of
drunkard and tippler. third offense,
three under the unclassified. Com
pairing the two it can be seen that
there we're 1913 arrests for charges
growing out of the use of liquor in
the six months of open saloons and
Sc arrests growing out of the use of
liquor for the same six months during
the local option regime"

Through Benton and Yakima
Counties.

Northern railroad through Yakima
and Benton counties, along the Co.
lumbia rivers west bank, has been
sold to the new company by the
Northern Pacific, deed from the
latter company to 112.76 acres Of
land having been filed by the Kenne-
wick Northern in the auditors office
of Yakima county on Friday.
The deed is believed to show that
the Kennewick Northern is an affil-
lated road of the Hill interests, as
the Priest Rapids Railroad Co., pro-
jected through the same section, has
faced fight for similar concessions
from the Northern Pacific. The
Priest Rapids line has already start
ed condemnation proceedings in the
superior courts of the two counties.
Included in the right of way grant
Of the Northern Pacific to the Kenne-
wick Northern, are all the properties
of the big railroad along the Column
bia river from Yakima county's line
to the town of Kennewick. The deed
is for a consideration of $2,229.2O,
and does not inclsde any property
in Kittitas or Chelan county which
might be necessary for complete
connection of the North Bank and
the Northern Pacific with the Great
Northern at Wenatchee or a nearby
point.

FIGHT CHANGE OF APPLE BOX
Yakima Fruit Grower VIII Represent
Horticultural Union at National
Meeting.

Decided opposition to the Porter
bill, changing the size of apple boxes
and method Of grading apples in the
United States, was shown at the meet
ing of the Yakima Horticultural I'm
ion on Friday afternoon, when a res
olution was passed requesting H. NJ.

the Yakima fruit growers at a big
national meeting of apple shippers to
be held in Washington on January
27.
Gilbert is now in the east and the
statement is made that he will ac-
cede to the request, forwarded to him
Friday evening by President Rich
ards and Secretary Irish. In the reso-
luton adopted the fruit growers did
not only state that they desired Gill
bert's presence at the meeting. in
Washington, but also that they were
entirely opposed to the Porter bill as
it stands at present.
Probably no man in the state Of
Washington can better represent the
entire states horticultural interests
than the Mob Hill rancher, who was
president of the Washington State
Horticultural association during the
past year and who has given close
study as grower, buyer and shipper
to the change that would come from
the Porter bill. The action was talk
en- because of the following commun-
ication received by President Rich
ards from l.. G. Monroe, secretary of
the State horticultural association,
and also of the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce.:
