I've been a-ridin' a hell of a circle,
All the hot day since the cool O. the

Goodness that stays till there's light

Then with the first blink of sunlight

Lord! them baked miles over prairie

Down through arroyas where water
holes steam;
Past the gray buttes loomin' gaunt to
the west'ard
Twixt 'em, pale shadders like spooks

Worse through the sand-hills the
home of the RATHER.
Hoof-spattered sand droppin' hissin'
and hot
over coarse grasses that rustic and

Sadly, like stranded souls, lost an

Still there's good pay in the evenin'

So is the twilight. the dusk and the

Then when the moon rises CLOWN an

Alkali beds Is like patches o. foam;
Big, quiet prairie brings thoughts like

Brought-in them days when the

Chokin' in daytime. an feverish at

.'EItTILE ACRES.

Some one wrote to a New York pa
per recently calling attention to the
fact that we have 100000 acres
of swampy, marshy and arid lands in
North America, which could be re-
claimed and made to yield immense
crops.
But" said the editor, "what is the
use of troubling ourselves about this
land, when we do not seem to know
what to do with what We already
have in fertile acres?"
The learned editor-who may have
been wiser than he wrote-goes on to
point out the fact that there are more
than $4,000. 900. 900 acres of fertile
land in the world, each acre of which
will more than support one person.
My grandfather. says he, support
ed himself and my grandmother and

product of one acre. in short-sum-

but assuming the fact to be stated
assuming that the land of this round

now feeds, are we handling our share

SUMACH PARK
IS POPULAR
LAKES INF HOLIDAY CROWD
Estimated That 5000 People Attend
to Hear tic Band and See the Fire
works Display.

Sumach park was the, center of the
independence day celebration in
North Yakima Monday and it is es-
timated that fully 5000 people We're
at the park to listen to the band and
witness the fireworks provided for
the entertainment of the public by
Japanese C. liens of North Yakima.
w. l.. Steinweg, through whose cour-
ties the park is open to the public, had
at the last moment, as a convenience
to park patrons, thrown up a hasty
arrangements of bleachers which adj
ded greatly to the comfort of those
who We're out to see the display.
The daylight fireworks did not
quite realize the ambitions of the Jap
anese. They were very interesting
however. Because of the fact that
American paper is not the proper
consistency to fold into small space
and then burst out into parachutes
and such things the features which
were expected to attract most atten-
ton did not do so, in the evening,
however, the rockets. candles, ect
were very superior. The bandmusic
and the natural attractions of the
park gave pleasure many people.
Fireworks were in evidence con-
stantly in the city through the day
and long into the night. Crackers
and torpedoes could be heard at all
times and balloons were sent up at
frequent intervals. At night rockets
Kissed through the sky and candles
and red fire were burned in many
quarters. In the residence districts
the children had a delightful time
with the modern noise makers.
The military and Elks parades in
the morning and the baseball in the
afternoon afforded pleasure for the
idle. A great many people went out
of the city to fish or on picnics.

PIONEERS TALK OF
FRONTIER DAYS.
Judge W. e. Richardson of Spokane
Is Speaker of the Day. Others
Following With Addresses.

COLNILLE, Wash, July 1.-THE
sixth annual reunion of the Stevens
County Pioneer association took place
today. beginning with a basket lunch
con in the pavilion at the fair grounds
at noon. There We're over 500 per-
sons on the grounds and the festivities
continued during the entire after
noon, including a well-given musical
program and reminiscent addresses by
old settlers present The meeting was
presided over by Fred c. KEELING of
Chewelah, president of the associa-
ton, and the principal address was de-
livered by Judge William f. Richard
son of Spokane.
Judge Richardson disclosed the fact
that he is a native Oregonian, had
been a resident of eastern Washing
ton for more than 80 years and was
quite familiar with all of the old land
marks of the early settlement and
development of Stevens county, as
we'll as eastern Washington, having
been a resident of Stevens county
when it embraced all of Spokane
county and a number of similar mu-
inequalities since carved out of the Big
Bend country
Jacob Stitzel. who came to the
coast in 1S49 and attended the organ
iZation of the first pioneer association
on the coast, at San Francisco, in
1850, and who has been a resident Of
Stevens county more than 30 years,
was also an interesting speaker.
John B. Slater, who has taken much
interest in the pioneer organization,
read an interesting history of the or
ganiZation of the pioneer society, sup
plemented by review of some of the
early incidents of historical character.
From the report it appeared that the
society had upward of 100 members.
The death roll, including those who
have passed over the frontier during
the last six years. includes some of the
most prominent citizens of eastern
Washington.

Before the National Apple Show it
was announced that Yakima would
not participate. Since the apple show
London buyers have informed us that
the Yakima Valley never did finer
bit of advertising than she did at
Spokane because it opened the buyers
eyes. Just as the real estate men de-
serve credit for lending their enthusi-
asm to that undertaking, so here is
chance for the Boosters club to get
in and send as many people to the
irrigation congress as will go. 1t will
not cost much and the benefits de-
rived will be incalculable
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1909-07-07

1t appears, therefore. that the
Yakima Valley has a direct and vital
interest in every movement that
makes for development. We want
to know all that there is to know
about irrigation. We want to know
what other sections are doing, and for
this purpose there is no more prac-
teal way than to rub elbows with
men from all of these sections and
get imbued with a little of each 9TH
er's enthusiasm. The wideawake
business man realizes the importance
of that and most of the best business
men in the west either visit the east
ern markets every year or send their
representative there. The irrigation
lists and the fruit men should all do
the same thing and inasmuch as ir-
rigation is the very handspring of our
well being. this congress is an event
that everyone should attend. Yakima
should be there strong.

CONGRESS is expected to adjourn
by the Goth inst.

Judge Mitchell, Monday, announced
some new rules regarding the prac-
tice of law in the Superior Court.
The most impOrtan, of these rules is
the one relating to the withdrawal OF
court files from the Clerks office by
attorneys Or other parties. 1t had
been the custom for long time for
lawyers to withdraw files in cases
pending before the Court, but the
Clerk and the members of the bar,
generally speaking, having been
more or less Inconvenience by that
practice, seem to be willing that the
records should be examined in the
Clerk S Office, rather than have same
withdrawn, and experience difficulty
in procuring return of the missing
document. The Judge, on request
of members of the bar, stated that
July and August will be vacation
months for the court, except in July,
cases will be heard in which the pres.
ent Judge may be disqualified, and
the weekly motion calendar of this
month will be attended to by some
other Judge. OF course Court will
always be considered open for at
tendance upon emergency matters.
Since the removal of the old his.
tOric shack that was held in such deer
alteration for having sheltered the
first Territorial Legislature the street
gaminS and hObOS have taken refuge
in the north IL" of the New Eng
land hotel. and continue their orgies
whenever the weather will permit.
Although that portion of the first
hotel was built considerably, late,
than the main part, it is in a much
more delapidated condition. 1t was
built for public hall in the uppe,
story, and for many years, previous
to the advent of Columbia Hall, was
a popular place for balls, public
speaking, concerts and such travel
ing shows that succeeded Jack Rag
along in the 50s. 1t was not til
some ten years afterwards wher
Columbia hall had placed this Wash
ington Hall and the Olympic, known
as Good Templar Hall, out of bust
ness, that the Washington was con
verified into bedrooms for the hotel
since which time it has probably
been more steadily in use without
any repairs, than any other building
in town. Hence its decadence an(
final occupation by undesirable
citizens.
