conditions of road construction. II
this Is the case then Yakima will have
some decent thoroughfares leading in
and orst of the city in every direction
within the next two years. The move
is coming none too soon because good
roads are a necessity 30 proper de
velopment. In a community like
Yakima the traffic is heavy leading to
the city on all of the principal thor
oughfares and these should be placed
in first class condition at Che earliest
possible moment. Eanchers and lay
men as well as merchants Will readily
agree to that program.
All loyal residents of Yakima will
do a bit of good boosting If small con-
signments of fruit and vegetables are
left with Mr.. Irish of the Horticultural
Union from day to day to be for
warded to the county exhibit at the
exposition. The displays of fruit are
short lived and need to be replaced
very often. This should not be lost
sight Of. Now that Yakima has a
creditable display it should be main
tanned in a proper and crcditG bic
manner.

LeDuc was a civil war veteran and
drew a pension from the government
July he received his quarterly allow
ance amounting to $36 and became
intoxicated. Wednesday the old sol
der was served with papers instituted
by his wife in divorce proceedings. A
restraining order was issued by Judge
Preble commanding LeDuc to remain
away from his wife's home. This DR.
der was found on the body of the man
Thursday morning, and It is evident
that he was on his way home when
he met his death Friends of the man
assert that the knowledge of divorce
proceedings, and the probability that
he would be homeless in the twilight
of his life bore heavily upon his mind
and caused him in a fit of despon-
dency to throw himself beneath the
wheels of passing train. The MUIR

Two Tragedies in Year.
The neighbor hood of the spot where
the body of LeDuc was found is within
short distance of the spot where
the body of Will P. Breeze. formerly
an accountant for the Northwest Gas
company was found last December.
Friends and relatives of Breeze have
always contended that the young man
was murdered although the police to
this day have found no clue that sup
ported the contention in any way.
People who witnessed the body as it
lay on the track before it was removed
by the coroner point to the position
of the body as proof that crime was
committed. An investigation will he
