Sphinx nearby. Donkey ride brings
you within its shadow. The pyramid
is up to expectation.
The Sphinx has been sadly disfigur-
ed and her nose is partly gone and
part of her head dress, probably the
entire head would be missing had the
manaclukes been sharpshooters. The
Sphinx Is made and hewn from one
solid rock cliff. The sand sitting over
covered her mostly up and an i'm
mense hole in the sand had to be dug
and you have to go to the bottom of
TINS hole and look up in order to be
very greatly astonished. NY early
history remembrance was that the
Pyramids were built upon the sands
or the desert We find their base Is
a very solid rock plateau So it Is
not quite so wonderful that they have
stood for so many thousands of years
the wonder is how such huge stones
were placed 381 feet high and all fit
ted in just exactly true and the top
came out COMMERCIALLY correct.
We climbed the Pyramids by Post
al cards, it is much the easier way
when you come alongside of a foot
there are before you get to the top.
1t takes something Of an athlete even
though you do have the assistance of
two dirty Arabs pulling you in front
and another one boosting you up
from behind.
Cairo is a very dirty ill-smelling
city and the wonder is the people
don't all die off with the plague, par
ticularly in the native quarters
where the streets are only six feer
wide and then covered over at the
top to keep out what little sun might
get in. Microbes must be very plen-
tiful, but the theory don't work here
and Health officer Nywenning would
lose his job-as the people are
large healthy looking set and you
see very little of tuberculosis, splitting
or coughing.

Considerable progress has been
made towards establishing permanent
grades over the entire city, some
ifty-ive (55) miles of levels have
been run in this connection, and part
of the office work Of plating the
profiles of street grades completed.
This work will be carried to compile
ton in the near future. Formerly
the city elevations were based upon
datum which differs 2.16 TT. from
the U. S. Geological survey datum.
but all elevations established this year
have been made to agree with gov
eminent sea level datum.
Considerable time was spent by
this department in preparing plans
and reports on the N. l.. & w. Cos
TENS.
Plans and surveys have been COM
pleted for the proposed intercepting
drain, estimated cost of which Is
$4,000.
The Chestnut Street subway has al
so received attention from this de-
partment, as we'll as minor PROPOSE
lions too numerous, and of not
enough importance to enumerate.
I wish to call your particular at
tention to the fact, that the trunk
line sewers, constructed a few years
ago, were laid so shallow that 1t has
been impossible to lay many of the
sub-sewers constructed this year as
deep as they should be to properly
drain easements.

North Yakima, Wn., Jan. 3, 1910.
To the Honorable Mayor and Mem

Gentlemen:
L respectfully submit the following
report, which is intended to briefly
call your attention to what has been
accomplished by your city engineer
ing department for the year 1909.
L first make complete card index
of all office records, which includes
notebook records. maps and profiles.
This has proven to be a very valu-
able addition to the office records.

eighty-five $3.50 concrete monuments
established at street intersections. To
complete this work it required forty
(4O) miles of transit work and one
hundred G00) miles of claiming.
Only seven original monuments were
available at the beginning of this
survey.
The engineering department has
prepared plans and profiles, and su-
'pervised the following improvements:

The surveyors of the Klickitat Irri-
cation and Power company are now
working south from Mabton, making
a final survey of the main canal and
laterals which will water the great
Horse Heaven plateau. The present
survey places the main canal about
800 feet higher than any previous sur
very, which insures irrigation for the
greater part of this famous district.
Since the company changed the pro-
visions of the contracts the farmers
are signing for water. Attorney Geo.
w. Paswater has been employed to
secure water contracts in Yakim and
Klickitat counties.

There is but silence yet in thought heard
The desperate chords of that wild polonase,
The sixth of Chopin's wizardry, but blurred,
AS DER battlefield mournful haze
Blots out the dying from the dead mems gaze
Why all the pageantry of war was there
Cannon and standard, ruined hearth ablaze,
The muffled roll of death-dr trumpet blare,
And lonely women, mute in nieasureless despair
Nav this is Cornwal hear We not Isod'
Cry to her lover in the start night?
Swiftly thou puppet-hero, seize and hold,
Until with blood red fire the heaven alight
All! on the morrow, Tristan thou shalt fgh
Thou art foredoomed to loneliness and paln
Thy valiant arm, nvncible for right
Upraised in evil, conquers not again
Soon in thine she pours fulthroated song in vain
The violins are hushed; sombre chord
Startles the dim cathedral tremblngly
Pure boyish voices suppcate their Lord,
Chanting a dirge-like minor melody
"In Babylon we wept remembering thee,

"Out of the depths, Lord bnt they are tree,
And through their veins the hot blood, rioting

A lester to monarch said:
"Let's change our robes you be the fool;
I'll stick that crown upon my head
And teach you how to rule.
"For human nature is the same
No matter in what garb arrayed,
The weak, the strong, the halt and lame
The selfsame God hath made

"As we'll compare the senseless turf
To the blushing beauty OF bride,
AS monarch to a serf.'

Why the leper in adherence held

And found one suitable at last.

And many bitter fast

The beggar fawned and cringed with fear.

Or to the man Of lowly birth
