SOMETIME

Sometime we're going to DO kindly
deed,
Or. speak a helpful word to some
3 80 lone heart;
Sometimes we're going to plant the
living seed
In soil where it will thrive and dc
it's part.
Sometime We'll stoop to help a wear
led soul
Which staggers underneath heavy
load;
Sometime We'll pause, while rush
ing toward the goal,
To aid a brother on the rocky road
Sometime glad eyes will speak the
love they bear
Because of favors which were ours
to show;
Sometime in LIES long day, well
gladly share
The little blessings which are Gus
to know.
Sometime we're going to stop the
ceaseless grind
This everlasting hurry-life We live
And be more loving, tender, true and
kind,
More thoughtful, and more ready
to forgive.
Sometime we'll cease to fret at little
cares,
And put away our foolish, timid
fears;
We will not look for pitfalls or fol-
SnareS,
Well speak no gossip for our
neighbours ears.
Sometime We'll only see the good in
men,
Be blind to all the worthless and
the bad,
And recollect our own weak faults
and then
Just strive to make the whole
world bright and glad.

TESTING PARCELS POSTS ON
RURAL ROUTES

It seems very likely that Post
seek legislation at the regular ses-
sion of congress that will enable him
to test the parcels post system by put
ting it in operation on rural routes
will not meet with serious opposition.
Advocates of the parcels post express
themselves as being pleased with the
proposed plan. They are perfectly
willing to have the system tested after
the method proposed by the secretary.
Extending the system by degrees
and testing it's operation will enable
the department to perfect a plan of
administration and provide the nee
essary machinery to provide for the
speedy handling of packages without
any serious interference with the
collection and distribution of ordin-
AIRY mail matter.
The farming community. there
fore. is likely to benefit by the opera
ton OF the parcels post system long
before it can be made available for
urban jewellers. and it's introduction
in the more populous centers may be
postponed for some considerable time
The plan proposed is similar to the
one inaugurated in the introduction
of the postal savings bank system
and it is working with high success
in that department. AS with those
banks, the main difficulty in esta b.
fishing the parcels post system will
be in the beginning, the training OF
employees for the special service.
When this is done gradually 1t is
proposed, each branch becomes an
educational institution and the en-
ployes grow up in the business and
attain proficiency, They are enabled

A PROBLEM OF SOIL AND
CLIMATE

An interesting experiment is about
to be made to determine the question
of whether it is the soil or the CHM
ate that gives the flavor and the
order has come to Wenatchee from
the superintendent of the Indiana ex-
pertinent station to have 80 tons of
Wenatchee soil sent to the Indiana
experiment station to be used to de-
termine whether fruit grown in the
soil in the Indiana climate will still
retain it's western qualities.
The point is whether or not it is
the soil or the climate that produces
the results. If it is found to be a
question of soil then the further eX-
pertinent will be made to determine
what elements are in the soil that diff
ferentiate it from the soils of the
Indiana type. The experiment will
be interesting in several ways. First
it is a recognition that the west has
produced the most desirable results
in the matter of apple culture. Fur
Their, it is an interesting scientific
problem, one not hitherto attempted
and the solution will be followed with
keen interest.
While there is no telling just what
secret distillation nature makes in
mixing the elements that produce the
apple or any other fruit or flower, it
is fair to presume that it is neither
soil, nor climate alone that produce
a given result but rather a combina-
ton of both. The Indiana apple
grown in Washington soil and an In
diana climate will be something diff
ferent from the Indiana apple grown
in the native soil, but neither pro-
cess will duplicate the Washington
and tinctured by the Washington eli,
matte influences.
The Washington apple grown on its
native heath is something worth imi-
tation and no one blames the Indiana
experimentors from trying as nearly
as possible to reproduce the real thing
in apples.

THE ECONOMIC SIDE OF THE
"SCENIC ROUTE

A great deal has been written about
the building of the ''scenic route" the
point emphasized being the value of
the proposed highway as route for
tourists because of it's scenic proper
ties, but the economic value of the
highway has been overlooked.
For thirty-five miles this road
would travel the Naches valley and
would prove the natural outlet for
the country tributary. Not only this
but it would furnish means for other
contiguous valleys to reach an out
let nabling them to open commune
cation with the supply centers in this
valley from which they are now Who'll
ly cut off.
Further along this proposed route
the road would open up the rich min
ing district of Gold Hill, section that
through lack of transportation ia
cilities has been retarded in develop
ment. There are a few developed
mines in the Gold Hill district that
have made some progress even suffer-
ing this handicap but there are many
valuable prospects that would be de-
veloped if this road were put through
and would in their development bring
business to North Yakima, making an
added incentive in pushing the con-
struction of the proposed road.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1911-09-27
COOPERATION IN ROAD
BUILDING

The preliminary viewing of the
proposed scenic highway over the
Cascades joining Yakima and Pie, ce
counties corroborates the statements
many times made that such road
would prove one of the most attrac-
tive tourists routes in the Pacific
northwest. In these days when the
whole country is waking up to the
need of good roads, not only for the
purposes of transportation of prod
utts. but for the accomm odation of
tourist travel it is matter of prime
Importance that such highway
should be constructed
1t is proposed now to go before the
state legislature with a bill which
plans for the construction of the pro-
posed road connecting the middle sec
ton of the state with the western
counties, by means of some co-opera-
ton on the part of the counties eff
fected supplemented by state aid. The
plan is feasible and practical. 1t is
in line with the progressive devel-
opment in road building now being
pushed in other states, and should
meet with the hearty support Of all
member of the legislature.
Those who are forecasting the
tourist travel to the Pacific coast
during the Panama exposition are
predicting that never in the history
of the country will there be such a
demonstration of overland travel as
will be seen during the time of the
exposition. Motoring for pastime and
for pleasure is now at it's height and
will be the popular method of travel
to San Francisco and other points
during the Panama exposition.
The fact that this travel is ex-
pected HAS stirred the country to
road building as it has never been
stirred before. A few main highways
will catch the most of this travel, and
one OF the routes selected VIII be
through the Yakima valley and over
the Cascades if the proposed route is
open for travel by that time. This
phase of the matter should be pre-
scented at the time the measure is oe-
fore the legislature The state of
Washington will have one of the
finest scenic routes on the continent
to offer motor tourists if the pro-
posed road is completed according to
the present preliminary surveys.
1t will be a matter of state pride
to have this done, as well as a con-
venience to the citizens who will find
their local interests served by such
line of communication.

to furnish workers for the extension
of the service from their own ranks
This is a due precaution which avoids
complications and permits the de-
partment to inaugurate the change
with as little friction as possible and
without in any way interfering with
the regular flow of the established
mail service
The plan appeals to all interested
as something safe and sane in the in
auguration of a system of parcels
post which is demanded by public
sentiment and not opposed by anyone
except those prompted by the influ-
ences of the selfish interests that are
served by the present lack of system
for the proper distribution of mer.
chandise by parcels post.

A WELCOME TO STATE FAIR
VISITORS

Directly and indirectly the city OF
North Yakima is hostess this week
to the thousands of fair visitors that
will make their head quarters here
while they are enjoying the fair. A
great number Of the visitors are citi-
zens of Washington and have a per-
sonal interest and personal pride
in the fair and in the exhibits made
as we'll as have the citizens oil North
Yakima, but many of the visitors are
from outside the state and are getting
their first impressions of the resources
of the state and of it's progress and
development from the showing made
at the fair grounds.
1t will be observed that the fair is
growing in importance and extending
it's lines of activities just as the state
is growing, and one is the reflection
of the other. The superintendent in
the several departments will tell the
visitors that they have never had a
more complete display than they have
at this time, and that the present fair
in their departments is the best in
the history of the association.
This is due to two reasons, the
first being the Industries of the state
are growing and the other that the
people are taking more interest in
making the display. Both of these
conditions are sources of congratula-
ton. ....,.
North Yakima welcomes all the fair
visitors, the citizens of the state for
mutual congratulations over the ex-
hibits in the several departments
showing how the state has grown and
in the gates to introduce them to so
notable an exhibit of the resources of
the state as is to be seen at the fair.
The fair is a state institution and a
great growing institution. 1t covers a
wide range of products in the displays
of the several departments and has
exhibits from many industries. No
state in the union can make more
magnificent showing covering so wide
a range of products. Diversified farm
ing, horticulture, stock raising, gar
dening, dairying, bee culture and
poultry have all contributed to the
exhibit made at the fair grounds
Where can you beat it?

conservative majorities were probably
dominated by the railroad interests
that saw in the affirming of the re-
ciprocity pact the DETECTING of a
large tonnage of their present freight,
now routed east and west. to lines
across the border and to markets out
side the Dominion.
Reciprocity has been defeated but
the issue is not dead. 1t is of too
vital interest to the great mass of the
people of Canada to be cast aside
with one defeat. This is rather the
first battle" and the Dominion of the
province of Ontario will not long be
suffered to defeat what is so clearly
the will of the mass of the Canadian
people.

THE ASSIMILATION OF FOREIGN
IMMIGRATION

One of the most wonderful things
in the study of sociological conditions
in the United States is the rapidity
with which the country can assim-
ilate the great mass of foreign immi-
grafton that annually pours into this
country from every land and from
every condition known to social life
Teeming thousands pour into the
country but there is no denationali-
cation. The American is still as typi-
cally an American as he was before
the cosmopolitan horde poured in up
on him at the high ratio that has OBJ
tanned for the past few decades.
In other words the foreign ele.
ment in our population is assimilat-
ed, and the descendants of the immi-
grant in the second or third genera.
ton are Americanized. Expert stu
dents of types have set up facts tc
prove that there is change in phys
ical type as well as in mental anc
social characteristics, but that is fai
fetched in distinction with the change
that is proven to take place in the So
cial and political conditions, and the
wonder is what is the mill through
which immigration passes to effec
the transformation.
The best answer is that it is mainly
| a matter of education, and by this il
comprehended all the factors thai
help to mold and make men to con
form to the social environment. 1t il
this leven of American social condi
tons that so soon breaks up the lumI
of foreign immigration and converts
1t into an assimilated product. Chic
of these factors is undoubtedly tn,
American public school, and the re
action wrought by the AmericanizeC
child upon the home life of the immi
grant. 1t is, beyond question, a com
bination of these influences that i'm
pels the immigrant to seek natur
alization and adopt citizenship.
Too much credit can not be giver
to the influence of the public school
as a factor in the assimilation pro
cess. Not only is its value known an,
positive in the nation but it has prov
en- it's worth in its extension into tn,
colonies that have come under tn
protection OF the flag. When Cubs
was under the protection of the Unit
ed States the public school system wa
made part of the plan of govern
ment protection, and it is today the

TAFT STILL ABLE TO SMILE

The question of how the result Of
the Canadian elections will effect
President Taft is very pertinent one.
and will be freely commented upon
by the press of the country. We think
that the whole question may be sum-
med up in the works of the press
news story that the president is still
able to smile, and the comment Of
the president, 1--WE will still be able
to do business at the old stand"
This contamination of the recip-
rocity issue will eliminate the ques-
ton in the coming presidential cam
paign. 1t will relieve the president
from the necessity of defending his
action in urging the ratification of
the treaty by congress. 1t will take
away from the democratic party the
campaign prestige they hoped to have
in being instrumental in carrying
through the issue.
Personally it appears that the presi-
dent will be the gamer by the defeat
be able to reunite the warning fac
tons of the republican party because
the thing that more than any other
that divided them has been settled
and eliminated from the coming cam
paign.
Half the quarrel that the progress
sives have with President Taft has
originated over the issues raised by
reciprocity. La Follette's guns will be
very effectively spiked because this
issue is settled out of court. La Fol-
lette opposed reciprocity strenuously
and his best arguments directed
againts the administration are based
on the actions taken in regard to this
issue.
With reciprocity eliminated the
question of tariff reform will be dis
cussed by contrasting the scientific
method of adjustment of schedules
advocated by President Taft with the
half-baked remedial measures pre-
scented by the democrats at the extra
session, and the contrast and COMPARE
son is strongly in favor of the admin
istration. Reciprocity is simply
wiped off the map by the results of
the Canadian elections and what
gain by their support of the admins
tration has been eliminated.
Considered from purely q personal
