NOTED VISITORS n
AUTO BREAKDOWN
Maud Powell Has Another Reason
to Remember Her Trip
Through Yakima.

Forced by an automobile break
down to stop sightseeing trip
through the Yakima valley orchard
district near North Yakima, Maud
Powell, the violinist laughingly
took the jests Of the auto
mobilists who passed her and smiled
or laughed at the predicament Of the
party of which she was a member.
North Yakima, the Yakima valley and
the Yakima orchards.
But we stuck to the auto and
didn't have to walk or take a street
car" was the summary of the situa-
ton a. she gave it when the party
reached the Hotel Teton during the
late afternoon.
The interest Of the violinist in the
Yakima country was shown to be
genuine and sincere when she ordered
an automobile Sunday afternoon and
accompanied by her husband and her
accompanist, H. Godfrey Turner and
Waldemar Leachowsky. she went for
a trip over Mob hill. through Fruit
vale and into the Naches valley. The
party had been travelling at high
speed for about two hours and had
covered miles Of territory, when the
accident occurT'H It the city limits.
on the power house road. Part of
the driving gear gave way and there
was a general spilling of necessary
equipment along the highway. Maud
Powell as we'll as the others in the
patty hunted along the highway for
the lost bolts, nuts and washers and
they were all found and assembled.
She declares the experience Is no
worse than breaking down on the
middle of Long Island sound in a
pleasure launch. and she has had that
experience.
The Yakima orchards interested the
world famous violinist, and she has
promised to become a real Yakima
booster. as a result of her several
days stay here. Miss Powell, or Mrs.
Turner in private life. is at the Yak
ina theatre tonight and will go from
here to Ellensburg ana Seattle.

SPOKANE APPLE SHOW
MEN MAKE TRIP EAST
viii Attempt to Induce Howard
Elliott Of Northern Pacific to
Accept Presidency Again.

e. F. C. Van Dissel, G. c. Corbaley
and Rem H. Rice, a committee repre-
senting the trustees OF the National
Apple show, left yesterday morning
for st. Paul and Chicago in the inter-
In Spokane next fall. The committee
was selected at the last meeting of the
trustees to take up with the trans
continental railways the matter of
supper for the proposed show.
Last year the railway companies
were liberal in subscriptions. and also
gave the apple show the benefit OF
their advertising bureaus, besides as
sistance through the passenger and
traffic departments. 1t is the hope of
the apple show board to secure the
same support for this season.
The committee will confer with
President Howard Elliott of the
Northern Pacific and other railway
men on a proposition to take the
winning exhibits to Chicago, or
some other eastern point, for an ex-
hibit after the close of the show In
Spokane.
An effort to induce Howard Elliott
to accept the presidency of the apple
show for this year will also be made
Mr.. Elliott's earnest work was Of such
material help to the apple show last
year, according to the trustees, that
they will make a most determined ef-
fort to induce him to accept the Of
flee for another season. The COM
mittee will be gone about 10 days.

SPOKANE BANKER VISITS CITY.
Well Known Financial Man Spends
Monday in North Yakima.

j. d. Bassett Of Spokane, banker,
who Is interested with others who own
a large string Of banks in various por-
tons of the Inland Empire, including
a number in the Yakima section as
well as banks in the Columbia river
section and the First National at Spo-
kane, was a North Yakima visitor
Monday. He remained here but a
short time coming in from Spokane
and returning to that city on late
afternoon train. While here Mr.. Bas-
sett was in conversation with George
s. Mitchell, who Is known to be inter-
ested in a new banking proposition
for the west side. Neither gentleman
was prepared to make known tho
character Of their business.

Speaking Of youth the doctor said
1.-THE boy is the promise Of the man
that is to be. Ambition and deter
mination in youth 10 the blossom.
achievement the fruitage. Unlike the
fruit trees of the famous Yakima
valley some people never blossom,
neither do they bear fruit. Some men
fail to blossom till late in life then the
bloom is liable to appear on the
nose. Honor and power is not always
a laudable ambition. Being elected
to congress IL not always success.
Some men sacrifice everything to
reach congress. selling everything
they possess to pay cam paign expen-
ses and putting a mortgage on their
self respect. Don't misunderstood
me. We have corrupt men in once
but the world is not growing worse
and worse. Don't be a pessimist
Have faith in your fellows. The pes
simist sits down and sits while the
optimist gets up and gets.
Another fellow who has mista-
ken idea of manhood is the fellow
who puts his trust in ancestry, and
loves to boast of the blue blood that
flows through his veins. Remember
that the bluest OF blue blood otten
courses through the blacklist hearts
Manhood is not muscle and Drawn,
but brain. sensibility and human in
terest." At this point DR.. Martin
paid a glowing tribute to the memory
Of Washington's late governor, Mr..
Cosgrove, and spoke Of him as man
who loved his fellow man and took
more than passing interest in people.
To this he ascribed his success, In
that men who knew him believed in
him and trusted him.
II would say to every young man
get Job, but first Of all get a master,
and then get job that your master
will approve Of Let that master be
Christ. If you want to enjoy your
work, work to benefit humanity. Work
of itself is not always commendable.
Why, / know a lot Of men in this
country who must be made to stop
work by law. They would work all
day, work all night and work all day
Sunday too, but they are not work.
ing to benefit humanity.
THE saloon, the brothel and the
gambling hell have never made a Wig
orous fight for an eight hour day.
They are willing to work every hour
of the twenty-four to injure society,
so don't get a job that inspires you
with such unreasonable ambition.
Don't believe all the great things Of
life are to be accomplished in the
professions. l would rather be an
honest carpenter, blacksmith or
mason than to be a shyster lawyer,
quack doctor or a one horse preacher.

Now let me give you a tip. Organ
ize some sort of young voters asso-

for public office. The trouble with this
entire country is that the good fellow
who has been here since before the
irrigation ditch and who has never
been anywhere else is chosen to do
the necessary city things and he
hasn't seen enough to know what
good work is. The old timer won't
mind my saying that for I am an old
