Denies Opening of Yakima Land.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 10
The reclamation service today issued
a statement denying the report that
the government contemplated an ex-
tensive opening of hands on the Yak
ina reservation in Washington. II
was reported that the government
had million acres to be thrown
open and the land to be irrigated by
the reclamation serNce. The facts
are. the statement continues, that the
government does not contemplate
opening any of the Yakima resrva-
ton at this time and perhaps not for
some time.

POSTMASTER LEMON TO
ADDRESS CONVENTION
Local Postmaster Will Gabfest
With States Mail Chiefs
Talks on Postal Banks.

Postmaster VIM. l.. Lemon has been
asked to address the convention of
Washington state potsmasters which
will be held at Everett, July % and
30. He has not yet made up his mind
what he will talk about.
Il suppose the convention will
spend a good deal of time discussing
the new postal savings bill" said Mr..
Lemon. There viii be representatives
of the government postal department
there, and the new system of banking
will of course come up for considera-
ton more or less.
The greatest difficulty in getting
the post offices running smoothly as
savings banks" he continued, will be
found with the fourth class offices in
the sparsely settled communities,
where the system will be new, and
where the postmasters will be quite
unprepared for their new duties.
Il do not anticipate great deal of
postal savings bank business at this
post Office, as the banks of the city
offer twice as much interest as the
government is going to pay. The post
al banks will only pay per cent. and
will then hand large part of the
funds over to local banks at higher
rate. Most people, except the ultra
conservative, would prefer to go to
the bank direct
Post Office Already Bank.
But there are stin in existence old
ladies who live in their shoes, and men
who seclude their wad in sock.
These people will see the ultimate in
safety in the postal banks. AS a mat
ter of fact, we do a savings bank bust
ness in a small way now. Every once
IN while somebody strolls in and
Duys Il money order addressed TO hiI..
self for 500, paying 80 cents for it.
At the end of a year. he will come in
and get it cashed, and pay 80 cents for
another. Money orders are only good
for a year, and a few of the very sus-
picious class are patronizing our
money order division in this way. e
During the recent financial I'M
pleasantness, when banks outside of
this city We're handing people clear
ing house drafts instead of the
cleaning coin, quite a few people
preferred the paper that is payable
by Uncle Sam. And even in times of
prosperity and highest confidence,
such as the present. some people are
willing to pay for the privilege of do
posting their money"

WHAT A CHANGE!

VIZ e FEAR that the prize fight pro-
w moters and their friends the
sporting writer's allowed the
horse to be stolen before they took the
trouble to lock the stable door, I'm
doubtedly the game of prize fighting,
boxing or whatever it may be called,
is on its last legs, so to speak, in Cali
fornia.
We are moved to these remarks by
the sudden change that our friends the
sporting writer's have injected into
their reports of the so-called boxing
contests. Before Governor Gillett made
his spectacular move to prevent the
Jeffries-Johnson fight in California, the
sporting writer's regaled US with some
thing like this;
"That ferOcious battler, -- --,
is trained to the minute and is fairly
thirstipg for the gore of the bone
crusher, - -. Fight fans who
journey to Maud Junction may expect
to see one of the most thrilling ring
battles of recent years, and an early
knockout is expected"
Now all is changed. Listen to the
mild advance notice dashed off by
the editor of the sporting page:
Were the bout TO be twenty rounds
there are many boxing followers who
would pin their faith to him to carry
off the honors but tonight's entertain
ment lie scheduled for ten rounds, a
distance which is just suited to "A nicely
for the crafty Attell, and if the Brit
isher displays his superiority in this
number of rounds he win surprise a
number Of his most ardent admirers.
BE that as it may, the spectators
have certainly a scientific treat in store
for them, and unless all signs fail these
expert boxers and cunning ring gen
erals should finish with honors about
even"
scientific treat" is good.

HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR TAFT's ADMINISTRATION

Editor Herald Warren Eddy and
Val Stone ask someone to point out
some achievement of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Well, here is one:
After filling the high and respon-
sible position of president for seven
years he accomplished what no other
president before him and it is to be
hoped none that are to follow him will
ever attempt, namely, to dictate to the
American people who his successor
should be.
The press, Democratic and Republi-
can alike is strangely silent on this
important phase of the political situ-
alton. But if l mistake not the people
will yet ask Mr.. Roosevelt in no un-
certain tone: Did Mr.. Taft deceive Mr..
Roosevelt or did Mr.. Roosevelt deceive
the American people when he became
sponsor for Mr.. Taft and his admin
istration?
Strange things may happen before
1912. We have come to the parting of
the ways. Mr.. Roosevelt must choose
between Mr.. Taft and the honest
servants of the people he has removed
because they refused to be the tools
of corporate greed. When Mr.. Roose-
welt has made his choice then the peo-
pie no doubt will ask some very plain
questions. And one of them will be:
Who caused this frost?

PRESCRIPTION CURES SMALL
Pox AND SCARLET FEVER

Editor Herald: Seeing in your col
umns of today announcement of death
of a prominent citizen from Virulent
scarlet fever, l am moved in the in
terest of humanity to send you this
recipe, sent to the Stockton (Cal) Her
aid many years ago. The writer says
it is harmless when taken by we'll
person and says it will cure smallpox
though the pittings are filling. 1t will
also cure scarlet fever. Here is the
recipe as 1 have used it and cured
my children of the scarlet fever; here
it is as l have used it to cure small
pox when learned physicians said the
patient must die; it cured:
Sulphate of zinc, one grain; foxglove
digitalis), one grain; half teaspoon
full of sugar Mix with two tablespoon
fuls of water. When thoroughly
mixed add four ounces of water. Take
a spoonful every hour.
Either disease will disappear in
twelve hours. For a child smaller
doses according to age. II counties
would compel their physicians to use
this there would be no need of pest
houses"

of this cure to the medical school of

Light Rate War in Los Angeles
fsan Tranciseo Calll

Los Angeles is beginning to have the
same sort of trouble with its public
service corporations that we have 50
long been familiar with in San Fran
cisco. These agencies do not scruple
to threaten and bulldoze whenever u
demand is made for the reduction ot
oppressive rates. We gave some az
count the other day of the fShr III
Pasadena between the municipality
and the Edison light and power conf
pany, which has resulted in rate war
that has cut prices down to cents
kiloWatt hour for electric current. Now
.os Angeles demands that rates shall
he reduced to cents kilowott hour.
The Herald describes the tactics ty
which this demand is met:
