CITY W0RKHOUSE
CURE FOR HOBOEs
Retired Policeman Advocates Sys-
tenn to Solve Problem of
Wandering Willie

Few towns the size of Yakima have
such a difficult police problem" re-
marked an old police officer. who has
long since retired from active service,
in discussing the numerous robberies
lately reported in the city. Yakima
is jumping off place for almost
every hobo and travelling 'yesg' that
rides the rods over the Northern Pa
cific. If the city could prevent the
daily arrival of these people there
would be little police work to be
done. But the hobo cannot be shut
out and so citizens have to stand
the expense of a paratively large,
and certainly very efficient police
force and at the same time suffer
to some extent from the depreda-
tions of the visiting criminal element
Police Are Active
"Nobody can deny that the force
Is very active in handling the ho-
boes, but no matter how wide awake
the officers may be there are sure
to be some undesirables who evade the
dragnet. Hence residents in outlying
portion of the city have to guard
against the burglar and the petty
larceny artist.
The ideal plan would be for the
city to have some sort of municipal
workhouse, where those who really
are looking for work could be given
employment, which would profit the
city. at a nominal wage, but would be
assured a roof over their heads and
three meals a day until they could
secure more remunerativc work or
earn sufficient to take them to an
other field. Such an institution also
could be used as temporary place
OF detentlon for the hoboes who could
be made to work and earn their board
and lodging
Some Are Workers
There are many varieties of hobo
but some really are honest men whC

the railway took good care of the

Good T'runc CrOp
Mr. Merritt is making no especial
study of the fruit conditions, but is
making general survey of the re-

connection is acquiring consid era BILE

says also that the Montana horticul-

splendid statistical statement of tho
acreage and the trees planted which
is great help in a commercial way

He says further that the various

long before announcing our rates In
this connection it would be we'll for
our people to remember that about
three months ago the Pacific Power
Light company stated that it would
as soon as possible complete its work
of asccrtaining what rates should be
charged in this vicinity, and that it
would announce schedule OF new
rates on or before June 1, 1911. This
statement was made publically fully
three months ago. Not until then
did the council become active in lay
ing plans for municipal light plant
The fact is that after the Pacific
Power & Light cimpany stated that
IL would announce new rates for cleo
triCdl current in North Yakima. on Or
tafore June 1, 1911. the city council
did almost if not all of its work on
the proposed municipal light plant.
so that instead of the Pacific Power
& Light company being dilatory and
waiting for the city to get busy. the
city waited until we announced what
we were going to do as to rates ana |
then apparently tried to get in our
way or ahead of us.
eve think the people of this city, |
when they come to fully understand |
the questions at issue will decide |
that it will be better for hem to in

allows only a limited amount for
these purposes) in necessary sewers.
drains. sanitary improvements, city
hall, etc, instead of using the city
funds to speculate whether the city
council or city commission can fur
nish electrical current for less than
ten cents per kilowatt hour. which
will be our rate within a few months
and is known to be reasonable
Are the people of North Yakima
going to speculate by running an
electric light plant, or going to invest
n necessities? If they, for citizen
consumers of electricity speculate and
ost they will cause everyone in North
Yakima incalcuable injury for years
o come. If they win they will have
gained little or no reduction in rates.
We are not afraid of the result in this
natter if the people will but thor
,ughly investigate and intelligently
these questions before they ,,

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

TT is Just year ago that my sis
ter came over here to us. She had
been here only few weeks when her
eyes began TO be red, and to burn and
sting as II she had sand In them.
Then we used all of the home rene
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to battle them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves. but all to no purpose
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
go to doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said 1t was very severe disease, and
II she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied cleo
tricity to them. and gave her various
ointments. In the two and half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little i'm
provement.
Then We had read SO much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought we would try 1t. and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used it. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing. she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after a month there was no
longer any mucous or watering of the
eyes. She could already see better,
and in six weeks she was cured"
