forget it as far as it's application to
any vital problems is concerned. We
want all the railroads we can get. We
want them to enter the city but we
want them to do so in such a way
that the city will still be a safe and
pleasant place to live after they are
here.
Just at present two roads are fight
ing for control in this valley. Both
are anxious for the advantage, but no
one outside of these two Institutions
has a comprehensive idea Of their Ill
innate plans. They are going to be
with us, that fact is settled. There
fore, the city of North Yakima is on
fairly good ground to dictate what,
from the peoples point of view, Is
for the best welfare of everyone in
the granting of franchise. Mark
this we'll. ANY COUNCIL THAT
WANTONLY GIVES AWAY A FRAN
CHISE IN THE FACE OF THE
PRESENT SITUATION IS GUILTY
OF A GROSS BREACH OF CONFI-
DENCE. Now that opportunity offers,
why not arrange the matter in the
interests of the people? To grant the
proposed franchise in it's present form
is to deliberately put everyone's head
in a moose that is prepared and wait
ing.

AGENTS OF GEORGE DONALD
BUY COWICHE RIGHT OF WAY
Strip for the Valley Railroad Ex-
tension Through the Canyon

Agents of George Donald and the
men for whom he is agent, are at
work in the Cowiche buying right of
way for a railroad. That is another
line the Northern Pacific contemplates
work on this season. 1t will start
from the Naches Valley railroad right
of way at the Cowiche station, or
Whereabouts. and run through the
canyon and into the Cowiche valley.
An engineer has been at work there
for some time and has mapped out
the route. He has been followed by
purchasing agents who have bought
the needed right Of way through the
canyon but who have made no pur-
chases of right of way beyond the
point where the valley opens out
VIII Handle Fall Freight.
Just how far the Cowiche road will
run has not been made known but 1t
has been asserted with some degree of
positiveness that construction on it
will be pushed as speedily as possible
in order that the freight may be hand
led this fall, as is intended on the
other extensions of the line. Nothing
has been heard of late regarding the
proposed Ahtanum line but street ru-
NOR is to the effect that it is the in
tention of the Northern Pacific rail-
road to build all possible feeder lines
this summer and by so doing not only
insure to itself the business of the
various subsidiary valleys, which is al
ready enormous and growing rapidly
but to also place barriers in the way
of construction by other railroads
which may seek to enter this terri
tory.
Milwaukee Man Is Here.
In this connection it may be said
that Monday while Mr.. Donald and
Mr.. Strahorn were hustling from one
person to another and from one es-
sential to another in their little battle
for supremacy the city had as a WISH
tor ]. l.. Hewitt of the Milwaukee raili
road who has been back and forth
once or twice over the lands lying
between this valley and the Columbia
river at Priest Rapids. He was also
in conversation with some of the
Mckee land owners.

LARGE ACREAGE IN HOPS
Growers Are Cultivating Again Thi.
Year Despite Adverse Conditions.

Hops will be extensively cultivated
in Yakima county this season. Pres
ent indications are that the acreage
under cultivation last year, estimated
at 1900. will be exceeded this year.
There is an impression among a great
many of those interested in hops that
better conditions are to prevail before
the end of this season and they are
preparing for it. Just now hops are
in great demand. The Herald has
seen two letters of late from hop buy
ers. In one the writer said he did not
want hops at all. In the other the buy
err said he would buy them "if the
price was low enough"
While 1900 acres of hops were Guilt
waited in Yakima last year not more
than two thirds that acreage was
picked.

Following time honored precedent

General Manager HI. e. Mutt,

most of yesterday trying to con-
vince the committees from the
commercial organizations of the
city that the recent order chang

of shifting the headquarters OF
the Pacific division from Tacoma
to Seattle was not a blow at this
city.
The railway officials got hold
of the officers of the order of con-
ductors and the order of locomo-
tive engineers and firemen and
formulated a statement declar-
ing the contemplated move does
not mean shifting employees by
the wholesale to Seattle.
All afternoon Mr.. Mutt and Mr..
Palmer were before the special
committee of the commercial club
giving testimony in the matter.
The way the railway men put

been eliminated and all lines south
of Tacoma have been put in TIA
coma Division" and the rest have
been taken from Tacoma and
given to Seattle, and this is call

This, of course, takes the juris-
diction of trains east of here to
Seattle. AS the train dispatch
ers always follow the division
headquarters, the dispatchers will
go to Seattle.
There is lot of talk by the
railway officials about the con-
ductors and trainmen having until
January l to decide which division
they wish to work on.
On this horn of the dilemma
the public is likely to be hung up.

Individual acts of atrocity have,
for the most part, ceased. The
state agents seem to have come
to the conclusion that it is a waste
of cartridges to shoot down these
people.
1t will be seen that, 80 far as
the people are concerned, the
problem is solved-the bitterness
of death is past. No European in
tervention can save them. In
many places they have been utter
ly destroyed. But they were the

$35, 100000 have been traced to
the king, and this money has been

finally in the expense of such al
private life as has made King Leo

Europe. OF the guilty companies
the poorest seem to pay so per
cent, and the richest 700 per cent
per annum.
Surely there should be some
punishment for those who by
their injustice and violence have
dragged Christianity and civiliza-

there should be some compulsory

is KILLED BY ANOTHER

Greek laborer, was riding on a
work train on the east end of the
Willamette bridge last evening.

minute, he jumped from the NOV
ing train to get across another
track. but he was struck by a
train approaching from the oppo-
site direction. The engine and
two cars passed over his body. He
was brought to this city, where
he died an hour later.
