Perhaps the most unwelcome feature
of the present disturbed industrial sltua-

idealistic social reformers, is the wide

kerosene have been distilled off. The

JAMES MADDEN
IS A SUICIDE
Young Government Workman
Drinks Carbolic Acid and Ends
Life of Which He Wearied.

James Madden. rs or 26 years of
age, ended his life Sunday night
while in his room at the West Avenue
hotel by drinking three ounces of car
bolic acid. The only explanation for
his deed is found in a note he left:
81 am tired of living this life"
This note was written despite the
fact that he appeared to be happy on
Sunday evening and that he was pre-
pairing to start for the Sunnyside
country on Monday, having work
promised him there. Madden retired
for the night on Sunday with a re-
quest for call. He could not be
awakened by the hotel manager, and
finally his room was entered after a
look over the transom had convinced
the manager that Madden was not
alive. The police were called and an
attempt made to find out some facts
surrounding the case. Little could be
learned.
Madden was at work in the Tieton
canal service. at Camp II, during the
summer, fall and part of the winter.
He was accounted a good workman.
Madden said several times that he
was the son of wealthy parents in the
south. Nothing Is known definitely
as to his relations but an effort will
be made to locate them.

STRAHORN TO COMBINE ALL
Power, Light and Water Interests
Will Be United in One
Corporation.

Combination of the numerous
power, light and water companies or
ganized and operated by Robert e.
Strahorn and his associates will soon
be effected, the new corporation hav-
ing capital reaching into the mil
lions of dollars. The fact was dis
closed Thursday when request was
made of the county auditor for the
preparation Of certified copies OF all
franchises of the corporations doing
business In Yakima county.
Experts have been at work on the
books Of the various companies, 1t Is
reported and have prepared financial
statements to be submitted In connec-
ton with the financing. AZ these
experts are eastern men, 1t Is taken
that eastern capital is to be interest
ed in the new corporation.
Franchises Are Valuable.
Franchises held by the Strahorn IN

Mayor.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6.-"The
Chinese may gamble their heads on"
says Mayor Mccarthy.
1.-THE Chinese will not gamble their
heads Off while I am In charge of the
Chinatown squad. They will not
gamble at ALL" says Police Sergeant
Morrissey.
What will you do If Captain Duke
orders you to allow gambling to 60
on in Chinatown" Morrissey was
asked.
THAT won't maze any difference
to me. But Captain Duke has already
given orders since Martin was made
chief. for US to suppress gam bling"
well, suppose Chief Martin tells
you not to modest the Chinese who
want to gambler"
Gambling will be still suppressed
as long as I am in Chinatown" re-
piled Morrissey.
And what II the Mayor gives Or
ders to the police department not to
arrest Cinnamon who gambler"
THAT wouldn't make any differ
ence. L will not allow them to gam
BILE while I am here and that is all
there Is to It,"
Despite the fact that Mayor Nc
Carthy several day. ago announced
that he wanted the Chinese to come
back from Oakland and said that they
could gamble their neads off," there
has been no attempt on the part of
the Orientals to start their games.
Many gambling houses have been put
in readiness and the keepers of the
games seem to be waving for some
official word telling them to go ahead
and gamble their heads off,
1t is not expected by those who are
on the inside that Chinatown will be
thrown wide open until Chief Martin
removes Captain Duke from the Cen
trail district and replaces him with
Captain Colby, who Is now in charge
Of the Southern district.

ATTENTION TO APHIS
And Points Out Necessity of Fight.
ing Insect From Early Spring
Throughout Season.

EDITOR HERALD:
But little attention Is being paid to
this insect, yet 1t Is of as much i'm
portance as any insect in the orcha rds
Apple trees throughout the valley are
infected, and unless radical measures
are taken to get rid of 1t many Of the
best orchards Especially young trees)
will be beyond redemption. A brief
outline of this pest will not come
amiss. The woody plant lice ((wooly
aphis) belongs to the genius Schizon-
eura. These cover themselves with a
secretion resembling fine cottony fiber,
which conceals them more or less
ompletely. Thus there may appear to
be tufts of cotton attached to leaves or
twigs, beneath each Of which we find
a great mass of plant lice busily en-
gagged in feeding. Young trees are
frequently injured by these aphis,
which gather in masses on the trunks
and cause the death Of the bark be-
low the point of attack
The eggs may be found singly in the
bark crevices during winter, COM
pletely enveloped in the dry skin of
the female, and from them appear in
spring agamc wingless forms, which
bear living young. This method of
reproduction continues until the
winged type. which spreads to other
localities, is produced in late summer.
The sexed forms are wingless and
mouthless, the female producing only
4 single egg. One form of the species
works deep underground on the fib-
rous roots, and this is most difficult to
deal with and often causes the death
Of the attacked tree. When they ap-
pear on the trunk treatment with
kerosene emulsion will be effective
and the underground form can be
reached with a liberal use of tobacco.
! The aphid produces a gall which is
sometimes spheric ! and nearly one
half inch ir diameter. If we cut one
of them after midsummer we find it
full of plant lice, the progeny of the
single specimen which caused the
growth of the gall early in the season
Sulphur-lime has been advocated as
strong as Is. but this will not do. as
the aphid is a sucking insect. whereas
kerosene emulsion with Its ingredie ITS
APP art of which is whale oil soap will
clog the sucker of the aphid and death
will be the result. II you will look 81
your trees you will find many whose
leaves have not been snad. This is no,
natural. but the results of the aphid
in many cases. 1t behooves you orch
ardists, therefore. to get to work and
find out the reason, or else you find
when, alas, too late, that your apple
crop is full of gall from the aphid and
you will have to haul them to tn,

ties. These have been issued to the
Northwest Light & Water Co. ami
the Yakima Valley Power Co., the
latter company commencing its oper-
atoms last year. No one has been
able to set a value on these rights
granted by city and county officials
but to an eastern investor they mean
not only the right to do business now
but the opportunity to grow in a
growing country.
While these franchises are Of great
value, however, there are still great
er properties in the water rights of
the companies. The Northwest Light
& Water Co., holds the valuable water
rights of the Naches river. The Co
lumbia River Reclamation Co., holds
the power rights at Priest Rapids, on
the east side of the Columbia river.
although the immense power there
is now the subject of big battle with
rival corporation. The Pasco Re-
clamation Co. holds power rights in
the Snake river near Pasco.
Great Power Line Too.
Strahorn completed the construc-
ton Of the greatest power line in the
state last summer when the Yakima
Valley Power Co. built it's line from
North Yakima to Kennewick and
Pasco. This line connects all the
principal cities and towns of the
Yakima valley, excepting Prosser
which is only a mile from the power
transmission line.
Power plants in the Naches valley,
in Fruitvale and at Kennewick and
Pasco, as well as sub-stations al
North Yakima and Sunnysde are part
of the property of these corporations
that are to be combined. The valu-
able water rights of the WapatoS
ditch and the Northwest Light &
Water Co. ditch for irrigation and
city supply are interests entirely held
by the same companies. These, In
addition to the distributing system
are worth much now and will even
tually be worth a great deal more.
Combination, Says ArrOwsmith.
| George Arrowsmith, general SUI
perintendent Of the Strahorn inter
ests in this valley, was asked as tc
the meaning of the request for certi-
| fed copies of the franchises in this
county and said that a move was on
foot to centralize all the workings OF
the various companies under one
head.
report has been current that Stra-
horn is arranging to dispose Of his
electric and water interests in the
central part of the state to eastern
men, but this rumor has not been
verified and its source is uncertain.
North Coast Not Included.
That the North Coast railroad, OF
which Robert E. Strahorn Is presi-
dent, is not to be considered part OF
this combination, Is generally under
stood. The only interests to be rep
resented, it is said are those Of water
and electric power, light and distribu.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Memories
senate today when Senator Hepburn
bitterly opposed the loan of tents by
the government for the annual en-
campment of the confederate veter-
ans at Mobile, Ala, next April. How
ever, every republican present except
Hepburn, voted for the bill authoriz-
ing the loan. The senate passed more
than dozen bills today the establish
ment of fish hatcheries in different
parts of the country.
The presidents federal incorpora-
ton bill was opposed today in the
house of representatives by Garrett of
Tennessee on grounds of unconstitu-
tionality.
Heyburn's speech was the sharpest
comment on the issues of civil war
that has ever been heard in congress
In 20 years. He inveighed against
men in rebel" uniform being per-
mitted to occupy government property
or the "rebel'' flag to be allowed to
ny above it. Finally he drifted into
the question Of honoring men by
placing their statues in the Hall of
Fame and by unmistakable inference
condemned the action of Virginia in
sending the statute Of General Robert
e. Lee to Washington.
Anent the Lee Statue
Take 1t away and worship 1t, II you
please" he Numbered, "but do not
intrude it upon people who do not
want it." The democratic senators
gave an uneasy frown during the
speech.
When Hepburn concluded, Senator
Bankhead Of Alabama said: IT am
sure the senator from Idaho feels
much better and I ask for vote"

more senators from every part Of the
chamber.
When the vote was had on the tent
resolution, all the democrats and all
the republicans except Hepburn voted
Tor 1t. 1t CHANGED that Heyburn's COL

the first republicans to be heard in
the roll call. Without a twitch of his
countenance he voted In favor of the
adoption of the resolution against
which Hepburn had so recently in
Weighed.

at Yakima City, adjacent to the All
tanum and Mckee valleys and the
lower Yakima valley, and still far
enough away from Yakima to enable
the patrons to get a short outing from
the city, is felt to be an excellent one.
1t has been the expectation of q
number Of people interested in the
undertaking that the Yakima Valley
Transportation company, known as
the street railway company. would
have extended it's line to Yakima City
ere this. 1t is known that it is the
intention of the street railway COM
pany to make such an extension some
time, but the feeling is that now Is the
movement.
When Strahorn Won Out.
The Yakima Inter-Valley Electric
Railway company, it will be remem-
bered, is a corporation organized two
or three yaers ago and which intend
ed to construct an electric line into
the lower valley. It went ahead with
its plans, procured rights Of way, in
GLIDING site for a roadbed through
the Union Gap and along other
strategical points near Zillah and
Parker. Then came the struggle be-
tween the North Coast and the North
Yakima & Valley railroads. Both
corporations bid on the holdings OF
the Inter-Valley line and Mr.. Strahorn
outbid Mr.. Donald and became the
purchaser. Incidentally he got a good
thing and the members of the COM
PAW cleaned up q neat sum on their
holdings. They sold out everything
they had on their books at that time
except their franchise. This franchise
is now to be revived in an effort to
procure some definite and satisfactory
passenger traffic between this city and
Yakima City.
Henry Lombard ia president of the
corporation; ]. H. Thomas is vice
president; George p. Eaton Of Grang'
