Attention is called to the unusual in
crease in school population, large
part of which is due to the influx of
permanent residents. While we are
all glad to note such growth of the
city, it must be borne in mind that
additional provisions must be made for
the education of the increasing num-
bers. Every available room in the city
will be crowded to the utmost during
the coming year, with at least four
basement rooms pressed with service.
The enrolment of 710 out of 827
appears higher than the percentage of
enrolment really is. The enrolment
includes tuition pupils as we'll as resi-
dents. There were 81 tuition pupils
during the past year.
The comparatively low average daily
attendance for the past year is to be
accounted for largely on account of the
contagious diseases that pravailed to
an unusual extent.
The total increase in the high school
enrolment and the increase in the
number of boys enrolled are both re-
markable Though the school is crowd
ed, we welcome all who are earnest in
their desire to avail themselves of the
opportunities we have to offer.
The cost of maintenance is based on
figures furnished by the city clerk and
the biennial report of the state super
intendent. The cost of maintenance
during the past year has been in
creased not only by the Introduction of
the two new departments, whose initial
cost was considerable, but the closing
of school on account of contagious dis
ease, and the three weeks continuance

MEMS COOPERATIVE
CLUB IS ORGANIZED
Front Street Location for Eating
House and Reading Room
That Will Be Opened Soon

The MEMS Cooperative Club" is
destined to become a great benefit in
North Yakima to homeless men who
are self-respecting enough not to wish
to live without giving an equivalent
in work for that which sustains life
and gives them shelter. In organizing
this club, a number of prominent men
and women of North Yakima got to-
gether at the home of C. F.. Critten-
den last Monday evening and selected
these officers: Mrs F. L. Miller, chair
man; Prof. Selden Smyser, secretary.
and H. M. Gilbert, treasurer. Mrs.
Miller, Mrs. Crittenden and Henry
Kohls compose the executive commit
tee of the club, which will be put in
operation in the first week of Deem
ber after an entertainm is held to
raise the necessary funds to keep the
work going. The store building a.
No IS South Front street Is hein g
prepared for the use of the club,
which, in aiding the men, will he run
in conjunction with the Mission wood
yard. ALI those interested in assist
ing the worthy to help themselves al G
asked to buy their wood at this Yard
that gives men a chance to earn food
and lodging.
Mrs. c. e. Crittenden, who has been
pushing the work along this line for
some time and who has taken the mat
ter up with the business men about
town in its behalf, says: "Our pur-
pose of establishing this room is not
to provide a loafing place for those
who will not work, but to help those
who will help themselves and give
them a warm comfortable place in
which to spend idle hours and obtain
food in return for work. We believe
such a place will be of assistance in
helping the man who, through dis
couragement from the lack of success
and the inability to obtain steady en-
ployment. has gone the way of many
others and followed the downward
path through drink and dissolute com
companions.
"These are the men we want to
help. We want to give them a better
place than the saloon in which to
stay, where plenty of good reading
matter will be on hand and where
there Will be no debas1ng companion
ships We expect to be imposed on
but will be able before long to pick
out those unworthy of our help and
send them on their way. A disposi-
ton to do the right thing will always
find us ready to assist them in every
way.
I'VE want the interest and the
help of the good people of North Yak
ina and this we must have to make
the work successful Buy your wood
at the Mission wood yard, where all
the work is done by some poor home
less man in return for food and lodg-
ing. This will help them help them
selves and keep down the number of
men begging on the streets. The
wood costs no more than it does else
where"

The extent to which the revolution

ment. .It
No appointive members IN the up

The wreck of a woman was found
on the sidewalk of West Thirty-sev-
enth street, between Seventh and
Eighth Avenue early today. Her rain
soaked clothes chung close to her
beautifully nodded figure. Her hair
was all astray and was plastered in
struggling strands across her clean
cut features. making them seem more
marked with dissipation than they re-
ally were. She was breathing heav-
lily. When the police were called
they recognized her. She was Marion
Dunsbar. Twelve years ago. when
she was twenty years old, she came
to this city to find work on the stage
as Marion Cahill. She drifted with
the natural flow of the Tenderloin ed
dies from the theatrical agencies to
the rathskellers and the all night
cafes.
Sitting in the Haymarket one night
two years ago a young man sat down
by her. In an hour they walked out
together promising each other that
they would never as long as they lived
go into such place again. They
would go to Seattle or Tacoma and
begin life all new and forget every
thing They were in earnest; they
knew that they had fallen in love
at first sight. The man zwas Frank
Dunsbar, a bank clerk. They were
married that night in mission.
The next day Dunsbar was arrested
for embezzlng from the bank. He
had stolen the money with which to
make his entrance into underwood
life. Within a month, during which
she visited him as often as the Toni BIS
keepers would let her, he was sent
to prison. Marion Dunsbar went back
to the old life, and worse. Such
money as she owned she paid for
morphine. She was put out of her
rooms at No. 40 West Thity-sixth
street for disturbing other tenants
She lived in the back rooms of sa-
looms along Seventh avenue. Last
night she Dough. double her usual
quantity of morphine.
She cried when she came to her
senses on cot in Bellevue and re-
allied where she was. 81 don't want
to come back"

The "gentleman's agreement by
which householders in the aristocratic
Murray Hill section of the city have
for more than one hundred years
com bined to keep business from in

Of r. Augustus Heintz, the one time
copper king and Mrs. Gilbert b.
Jones, who own the houses at 220 and
222 Madison avenue directly across
the street from the home and pala-
tial art gallery and library of j. Pier
pont Morgan, this week posted signs
on their dwellings Offering them on
long leases for business uses. This is
believed to mark the beginning of the
end of Murray Hill as an exclusive
residential section and to pressage the
early retirement from the neighbor-
hood of Mr.. Morgan and the host of
famous multi-millionaires who have
lived there. Ultimately it is believed
the whole hill will be surrendered to
business. What will become of the
$4,000, 900 art collection which Mr..
Morgan is declared to have in his gal
lery adjoining his home is giving con-
niseurs and art lovers generally much
concern. 1t is regarded as more than
likely that the financier will turn over
the collection in it's entirety to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art of which
he is a trustee and give the public
an opportunity to feast their senses
upon it.

has been their home for more than
half century. The hill gets its
name from one Murray, and is his
torically famous. Following the de-
feat of George Washington and the
minute men by King Georges army
under General Howe at the battle of
Long Island, the head of the colonial
army crossed the East river and re-
treated toward Harlem in what is now
the north end of the city The poor
ly nourished, half-clothed troops de-
pressed by their defeat and the sub
sequent hanging as a spy of Nathan
Hale, who had been sent back to as
certain the plans of the victors, made
poor progress and would have been
overtaken but for the wit of Mrs.
Murray, who invited the British gen
erals to partake of her hospitality for
several hours. This interruption of
the pursuit of the retreating federals
ena bled Aaron Burr and Alexander
Hamilton, then major and captain re-
spectively in the American army, to
guide the tattered little force through
the hills and passes of the upper part
of the city, with which they were fa-
miliar to a place of safety on the
heights of Harlem. This incident has
given to the hill section sentimental
interest shared by few other parts of
the city.

We're around. Miss Ivhitmore's suit
for the annulment of her marriage
with Vaudeville de Marigny Hail. who
is now doing time in the Rhode Island
penitentiary for passing forged checks
also turned the spot light of publicity
upon her. Much in the company of
the actress on the Amerika was Mrs
Mowhray Upston, said to be of Phil
adelphia. Up in the Winter Garden,
which is on deck above the Ritz
Carlton restaurant, the three friends
and a Philadelphia man, friend of
Mrs. Upston, wanted to dance, TO
which the head waiter had no objec-
ton. Al late hours, along toward
the middle watch. the restaurant SER

insisted on executing a Salome dance,
to which not only the officers but also
the spectators objected
Capt. Knuth heard of the Salome
dancing and called down the maitre
of the restaurant for permitting it,
The head waiter said he had re-
pressed the most daring features of
the exhibition.
"Why can't we dance and enjoy
ourselves?" inquired Miss Forsythe,
according to the maitre. I'VE danced
it in Paris without objection, and
were even invited to dance it' The
