UPPER BERTH RATE
LOWER ON PULLMANS
Concession Has Been Made in Re-
sponses to Public Demand and
Become Effective Feb. 1.

Reduction in rates on upper berths
in Pullman cars have been announced
to take effect February on the
Northern Pacific lines leading out Of
North Yakima. This means east and
west, as there are no Pullmans on the
Mckee and Naches lines as yet, and
besides they are not Northern Pacific
lines. The reduction to Seattle, Ia
coma and Spokane will be very light.
probably somewhere about rs cents.
but the lowering Of the tariff Is a
concession to long expressed public
sentiment and in that respect will be
Public Demand Satisfied.
The public has been clamoring for
this reduction for the past year."
said a railroad man yesterday, 'and
while the reduction does not amount
to much 1t will probably have the
desired effect. We do not expect that
the new rate will lessen the demand
for lower berths in the least, which
will cost just the same as formerly
but the trouble seems to have been
that travelling men and others feel
that they are being imposed upor
when they are required to pay the
same rate for upper as lower berths
when they ask for the latter and they
have all been sold, as is frequently
the case. 1t Is fact that probably
nine out Of ten of the travellers would
rather pay the lower berth rate"

L. C. Lowell, Gil N. First Street,

correct in every particular. I still

or twelve years, I had trouble from
disordered kidneys and I believe it
was caused by "a strain AS time
passed, my condition grew worse
and the least over-exertion or the
contraction of a cold was sure to be
followed by a severe pain across my
great deal of trouble from the kid

was not long before the pain and

distinct commercial value. People
coming here in the spring, not only

hold 1t bore the signature of
Charles H. Fletcher then, as 1t does
today. The signature is its guaran-
tee, which is accepted in thousands
of homes where there are children.
Much is printed nowadays about
big families. DR.. William j. Nc
Cram, of Omaha, Neb., is the father
of one of these much-read- about
families Here is what he says:
''As the father of thirteen chill
dren l certainly know something
about your great medicine. and
aside from my own family expert
ence I have, in my years of prac-
tice, found Castoria popular and
efficient remedy in almost every
home"
Charles H. Fletcher has received
hundreds of letters from prominent
physicians who have the same es-
TEEN for Castoria that Dr., McCrann
has. Not only do these physicians
say they use Castoria in their own
families, but they prescribe it for
their patients. First of all it Is a
vegetable preparation which assimi-
lates the food and regulates the
stomach and bowels. After eating
comes sleeping. and Castoria looks
out for that too. 1t allays feverish-
ness and prevents loss of sleep, and
this absolutely without the use of
opium. morphine or other baneful
narcotic.
Medical Journals are reluctant to
discuss proprietary medicines Halls
Journal of Health, however, says:
'"Our duty is to expose danger and
record the means for advancing
health. The day for poisoning inno-
cent children through greed or igno-
rance ought to end. To our knowl-
edge Castoria is a remedy which pro-
duces composure and health by reg
ulating the system, not by stupefy-
ing it, and our readers are entitled to
the information" -

EVERY LIVING THING
THAT THEY CAN SHOOT
KILLED BY FOREIGNERS

George Hull Of Selah, who was in
North Yakima Saturday, reported to
friends that there is a great slaugh-
ter going on in the Selah district OF
every wild bird or animal which can
be shot at. There are, he says,
Of foreigners in that section,
some of them railway workers and
some employed at other work. These

that hasn't an owner to protect 1t.
Song and plumage birds. game birds,
carrion birds such as the magp!es,
ground hogs, sage rats, rabbits, in
fact everything that can be put into
a pot and boiled, is considered feir
game. Nothing is too small and
nothing too repulsive. The result,
he says, is that the natural con-
ditions have been changed and the
birds and beasts are being annihi-
lated.

LOUIS HILL WANTS
TO SPEND 100000
A YEAR FOR PUBLICITY

SEATTLE. Jan. S1.-A hundred
thousand dollars for publicity-that's
what President L. w. Hill Of the
Great Northern Railway, wants the
state of Washington to appropriate.
He points to the liberal expenditures
of the Canadian provinces for print
er's ink. as a result Of which they
are recruiting many new settlers
from the United States. BY judicious
advertising, President Hill is conf
dent Washington can play an impor-
tant part in stemming the tide and
keeping American citizens under the
Stars and Stripes. All the railways
are spending large sums Of money
to attract settlers to the Northwest.
The Evergreen states population
more than doubled in the last de-
cade. To duplicate this showing in
the next year will require active ex-
ploitation work. To urge a sub
stantial appropriation for publicity.
President Hill appeared before the
legislature at Olympia, where he pre-
sented his views in a forceful man.

AoREN,s BILL IN LINE.

Unless too many fights are precipi-
tated in the legislature, the state OF
washington will have to its credit q
public utilities commission before the
legislature adjourns. Representative
Walker Aoren's bill has been intro
duced in the house and similar Dill
has been introduced in the senate. In
conference the best of these two
measures will be reported out MT.
Noren's bill, as stated before In the
Herald, il modelled after the New
York law, enacted under the admin
istration Of Governor Hughes, and
prepared by the governor himself. 1t
is a model. 1t is believed that Mr..
Moren has an excellent prospect OF
securing the enactment of piece OF
legislation at this session more valu-
able to the average man than any
other proposed bill under considera-
ton.
In the development of industries.
the proper regulation of public util-
tiles is an important factor. So far
this state has attempted no regulation
outside of the railroad commission.
The problem of just rates and "rea-
sonable" service. is where the shoe
pinches the consumer. North Yak
ima's experience is only typical Of the
situation in other cities Of the state.
We want regulation in the interest of
the taxpayer and consumer. for 1t is
notorious that we have never enjoyed
either moderate rates for light and
power, nor a reasonable efficient
of our wat'r supply has not always
been above reproach.
Our light and water companies
have always claimed that they were
never able to pay any dividends
However, when the citizens of this
city are compelled to pay at the rate
of from $300 to $500 per acre for
water. to irrigate their lawns during
the simmer months, there must be
something wrong somewhere. 1t may
! be that these concerns have been
capitalized. SO high that no dividend
would be possible, no matter what
was charged. Other public service
concerns have advanced the same ar
gument before, but when sifted down
it has usually been found, that the
trouble did NOT lie in the small
rates charged the consumer for SER
vice.
While it is not desirable to place
unreasonable obstacles in the way OF
corporations that are developing q
country, still the home owner an6
wage Garner is entitled to considera-
ton. His rights should be protected
and the state is the only source tc
which he can apply for that protec.
ton. A public service commission IL
desirable and necessary. If the state
legislature met. passed such a law
and then adjourned without accom-
plishing another thing. its members
would be entitled to the undying graf
itude of their constituents.

LEGATIONS, is coming to the Pacific
Northwest for a series Of lectures
this month. His topics will concern
the unification and organization OF
