Friends in This City Writes
That He Is Now Happy.

w. NJ. Nickle. janitor of the county
court house. is a happy groom at Oc-
tavia, Neb., and is passing happy
honeymoon there. Writing to friends
in North Yakima Mr.. Nickle says he
is as happy as IA kitten and is writing
to different of his old companions
here to tell them so. Mr.. Nickle is
well known to every person who uses
the court house or who is taken there
by business. He is a part of the in
Stitution and was the creator Of the
fine lawn which was partly destroyed
in honor of President Taft, much to
Mr.. Nickle'S regret though he is as pa
triotic as the next one. He was
soldier in the civil war and one of
the best known veterans in the city.
He has made his home in the court
house but he went to Nebraska a
couple of weeks ago and was married
there April 10. In his joy Mr.. Nickle
has failed to give the name of his
bride, speaking of her as the widow"
until after his announcement Of his
marriage and then calling her "wife."
1t is said that she is an old boyhood
friend.

WORK ACCOMPLISHED.
Mark Twain, Who Described Him
self as a Scribbier of Books,
Wrought Much in Field of
Literary Endeavor.

The mere chronology of Mark
Twain's life is soon told. Like most
jewellers in the Imagination, his sig
nifcance to posterity lies not. as with
men OF action, in how he wrought up
on events. but rather in how events
wrought upon him; for from such re-
actions resulted his imaginative out
put--one of the most considerable of
his time and, as it now seems. one of
the seCureSt.
Briefly, then, Mark Twain was born
Samuel Lapghome Clemens in Flori-
da, Mo, ON November 80, 1885. My
parents" he writes, in his own bur
lesque autobiography, 'were neither
very poor nor cOnspiCuOuSly honest.
The earliest ancestor the TWainS have
any record Of was a friend of the
family by the name of Higgins" The
county chronicles have it that the ell
der Clemens failed in business and
died, leaving his son the ample world
to make his fortune in.
Accordingly. Mark Twains ac-
quaintancc with literature began in
putting words into type, not ideas in
to words Educated only in the pub
lie schools, he was apprenticed to a
printer at thirteen and worked at his
trade in st. Louis, Cincinnati, Phila-
delphia and New York, until at
eighteen he could crafty boyish
ambition to become a cub to a Mis-
sissippi river pilot. Both these des-
parate happenings reacted profoundly
on his later life. Varied and eventful
as that life was, it might almost be
said that only two things happened to
Mark Twain--he learned the river
and he learned to set type.

YAKIMA BLOCKS
BIG POWER DEAL
Northwestern Corporation Direc-

Property in Line.

WALLA WALLA, April 24-That
there is hitch in the sale of the
Northwestern corporation seems GER
tain from the manner of the adjourn
ment of the stockholders from day to

by the refusal of the Northwest

Since then they have adjourned from

10 the Uses for Which 1t

Its new quarters are now in use by
the Northern Express company. The
change was made Sunday when Com

they found it already tenanted. A
scrubby looking yellow cat had
adopted the express building as its

LEAKY ROOF REPAIRED

Gravel From Ono Building Trans
ported to Where 1t Was Needed
Elsewhere.

Queer things may be seen in the
future when flying machines are in
general use. one local aeronaut saw
an interesting sight in North Yakima
Monday when he was making a flight
for height. He saw two worl<men
engaged on the roof of q city build
ing within the city making repairs.
1t is a gravel roof and the repairs
are made by tar and send and gravel.
Several roofs in the vicinity are grav
eled. These furnish the material of
that kind needed for the repairs of
the broken roof. With basket and
shovel a workman skinned over the
division wall, harvested his crop and
returned to the tar bucket. BY the
method a little gravel can be made to
cover many leaks, in turn.

My dear Mr.. Nerran: From all that

know of the work on the reservation
| am satisfied the actual opening of
the reservation Will not take place be-
fore late in the fall. In my Judgment,
however, the opening is not likely to
occur before next spring. The ap-
praisement and classification of the
land has not yet been completed and
after this work is done. it will take
some time to arrange the prelimin-
aries for the opening. While, as /
say. this may take place late in the
fall / doubt if it will occur before
next spring.
Very sincerely yours.

that Is MOI ENOUGH.

OF course the Standard Oil company
must not be permitted TO destroy the
liberties of the American people. But
MIR. Kellogg does not make the case
against it destructively strong when he
says, as he did in his argument at
Washington Tuesday, that the company
has established stations at outlandish
places were nobody ever had a re-
finery.''
Even if the Standard went farther,
and established stations at outlandish
places where nobody ever could have a
refinery; or where there was no need
of a refinery; or where nobody except
Standard OIL people could live-he
would not have made his case. He, is
a government attorney, is trying TO
prove that the Standard OIL company
should be put out of existence. His at
tack is on the very life of the company.
He cannot make his fellow citizens fol-
low him in argument like that quoted.
They don't care how much the Stand
ard wastes its money; how much the
Standard exercises its right TO do RI
diculous things.
They simply don't want the Standard
TO destroy competition and then abuse
the power which monopoly confers.
They want good oil at reasonable
rate. That is the whole thing for which
the pecple-by counsel and in their
hearts-sre eontending, and which they
propose to secure.

record of any other year.

The fire loss in illinois alone for the

Surely there are ways of lettering

from fires-and give better reason for

IRIsHMEN ARE GOING HOME.

This year fifty thousand 1rishmen
will leave their homes in the United
States and pay visit to Ireland. And
they are going to spend a thousand dol
lars each on the old sod Much in
terest has been aroused in the move
ment, which appears to be perfectly
practical one. Francis j. Kilkenny, an
American citizen of Irish parentage,
has credit for originating the scheme,
and successfully directing it. One of
his measures has been TO secure the
presence OF President Taft for an adj
dress on st. Patrick's Day; and on that
occasion the President will stand on
genuine Irish soil, for the leaders OF the
movement have imported from Ireland
a quantity of earth sufficient for the
covering of the platform. And it is
needless to declare the love OF the
Irish for the actual soil of their native
land.
There is something more than the
common sentiment of regard for the
fatherland in this affair. To that mo-
tive, existent in the breast of every ma
tive of a foreign land. the Irish add a
desire to practically better the gen.
eral status of Ireland. They propose
to spend this fifty million dollars in
helping TO restore Industrial conditions
in ireland. 1t will do marvels. And
the land of small. resources viii be-
come better fitted for national and in
dependent existence.
