country foreteling disasters
OF course the prophet admits that
Washington might possibly be saved
4 the people woald only repent and
abandon their wicked ways. The rea-
son for the destruction OF this nations
capital is the utter disregard of the
people for the teachings Of the Bible.
Prophet Elias is nos prepared to say

swallowed completely in the earth
quake or whether the disaster will he

For SO 4 miie a Year the state hieh-
WAY commission of Minnesota can
take the most sandy road in The state
and turn if into highway which can
be worked with road grader. by the
use of straw, 50 dust or clover, which
ever is the N st convenient. 1T has
been doing this in various parts of the
state for the last few years, paving
for the improved roads from the ex-
pense fund of he commission but 1T
will ask the legislature for more mon
ey to extend this work to other parts
of the state and will extend it just as
far as the legislature sees fit to permit
it by the limit on the appropriation.
Near Cambridge. Mimi. an expert
mental road was made With sawdust
several years ago. but the supply at
the local sawmill gave out and straw
was used during the past season and
with better results. The straw works
into the sand, forming a vegetable
loam which can be handled by the
road grader and Will also support
heavier loads than are possible with
the sand in It's natural condition.
G w. Cooley. state engineer, also
has shown the people what can be ac-

| roads, as is done In foreign countries,
by maintaining man on stretch Of
road all the time. Last season a road
six miles south of Saltwater. Mimi,
was under experiment. The year be

roads can be kept in such condition
that they may be used every day dur

DIVORCE COLONY IS
hit BY ROOSEVELT
He States That the Money They
Bring to Reno, New, Is
Not Enough

RENO, April 3.-Reno's divorce
colony was the object Of Theodore
Roosevelt's fire today during his prin-
cipal address in this city delivered to
a crowd of several thousand grouped
about the courthouse. This Is one
colony which Reno should rid itself
of. he said. and advised the citizens
of Nevada to keep the citizens of
other states out of theirs when they
came for the sole purpose of seeking
divorces. He declared it unwise to
believe that the money they brought
was compensation for permitting such
a condition.
Tainted Money
"You can't afford to have that kind
of money"
Roosevelt declared that divorce
seekers who come to Nevada are en-
deavoring to evade their duty and
such citizens could De of no material
benefit to the state.
Roosevelt was entertained at din
ner tonight at the home Of the Ma
tional Republican Committman Flan-
agan. His car was attached to the
westbound train and he will arrive at
Sacramento tomorrow. His only ad-
dress tomorrow will be at Tehanma.
He will proceed to Portland tomor-
row night.

PAVING LET
City Council Accepts Bids of War
rem Construction Company in
Two Districts
WEST YAKIMA AVENUE
AND PLEASANT AVENUE
These Two Districts Will be Paved
With Bitulithic Material at
Cost of $2.17 Per Square Yard
and Local Labor Employed

Bids for the improving of two dis
tricts, the West Yakima Avenue I'm
p, ovement district, and the Pleasant
Avenue improvement district, were
let Monday night by the city to the
Warren Construction Co.. of Port
land, Oregon, that company being the
lowest bidder on both jobs, the total
cost of which will be close to $780,
900.
Before the adoption of the ordin-
ance approving these bids, Mayor
Schott asked Mr.. Olson, representa-
tive of the Warren Construction COM
pany, how it was that Salem, Oregon,
was getting the same work done for
s1.S5 per square yard, when it cost
North Yakima SALT, or 80 cents per
square yard additional.
Mr.. Olsen explained that Oregon
cites backed their improveme
bonds, which is not done here, and
the consequence Is that those cities
can sell at par or at a premium; while
here the bonds are not worth. to east
ern bankers, more than csc. This was
difference of per cent. There was
- oiiSi SiiSC VI ~ pei CCHt ldUOT.
Then too, said Mr. Olsen, the quarry
and the plant of the company is right
at the city limits and the cost of dis
tributing the material is much less
than here because of the freight we
have to pay on the material. Figured
all up, these differences of cost. Mr..
Olsen said. totalled 81 cents. while
they had made the difference in cost
to the city only half that. In reply
to question by Mayor Schott as to
whether he would give local labor q
preference. he said he would shire
every local man At to do the work as
long as there was a place to put him.
He would employ local labor so long
as 1t did not handicap the work He
also promised to secure bond in
North Yakima.
The bids for the West Yakima I'm
provement district follow: Warren
Construction company. Portland,
$131, 799.01, with a clause agreeing
to maintain the paving at a cost of
two cents per square yard per year;
Elwood Wiles, Portland, $134,S9SS1;
Pacific Bridge company, of Portland.
$133,935.32
The bids on the Pleasant Avenue
Improvement district follow: War
rem Construction company, $16,6S1.45:
Pacific Bridge company, $16,932.64.
Both jobs include the construction
of concrete sidewalks, curbs and gut
tiers, with a paving Of bitulithic ma
terial.

ORCHARD|STS FEAR
NOCTURNAL C0TP|T
Three Methods for Killing it Ad-
vocated, One of Which Is In
practical Though Humorous

The ''cotpit," a pest of the peach
tree which first appeared in the Yak
ina valley two years ago, is reported
nv ranchers to be making it's first APP
pearance for this season in the or
chards on the north scope of Mob
Hill
The "cotpit' is green worm about
half an inch long which attacks the
trees at night During the day it
STAYS in the ground at the foot Of
the trees and after dark it crawls
up the trunks and eats the hearts of
the buds and flowers and strips the
leaves.
Since the devastation of the pest
first became apparent two years ago
various means of Kidding the orchards
OF 1t have been tried and horticul-
turists have adopted two methods:
A strip of cloth bound around the
trunk of the tree a few inches from
the ground at night will be found in
the morning to have protected the
branches and foliage and will be
thickly covered with the worms The
strip can be removed and immersed in
n pail of hot water to kill the pests
II has collected, Another me ,hod is
to spread a mixture of molasses and
bran on the ground around the foot
of the tree which catches the worms
and prevents their escaping into the
ground in the morning.
The pest is said to have damaged
several orchards in the Yakima vai-
ley since their appearance here and
"rchardists are viewing their coming
this season with alarm.
The ''cotpit" a little green worm Fl
Nocturnal habits, which makes its meals |
from the hearts of peach buds, ma
king its yearly debut in orchards near
North Yakima. The cotpit, accord
ing to those most familiar with its
habits. conceals itself in the ground
during the day awaiting darkness to
sally forth and attack the fruit
rees.
To kill it three methods are advo-
Gated by our leading horticulturists:
me of the most common methods is
% tie a chicken to the base of each
rec and hang an electric light over
t to keep the chicken awake. The
, tpit. noting that its watch says half

MOREN'S OPINION
ON SPECIAL SESSION
Has Not Done Its Con-
stitutional Duty This
Decade

Hon. Walker Moren. among other
representatives and senator's all over
the state who have been requested by
letter to give their views in regard
to an extra session of the Legislature.
said to the Herald representative yes
terday:
II am heartily in favor of an extra
session if it can be decided before
hand what its deliberations shall be
confined to; otherwise l do not be-
lieve it would be advisable for the
governor to call such q session. lf
congress, on reassemb bling. should
pass the measure giving us two new
congressman. 1t would be necessary
to reapportion the state in accord
ance with their action.
The state constitution provides
that every ten years the legislature
should reapportion the state into leg
islative districts and this has not been
done for this decade. One of the inn
portant measures that did not become
law at the last session was the gem
eral road bill, and this should be en-
acted. If the work of the special
legislative session could be confined
to these matters. / would be favor
able to the calling of such session :"

reasonable and right that persons
elected to office should enforce the
laws enacted to uphold public moral
ity. l speak in behalf Of the enforce
ment of law irrespective of who has
violated it,"
Rev. Morton L. Rose. pastor of
First Christian church, said: 81 be-
leve in the square deal for the boys
and men: and l believe the pool room
is not good for boy or man. I be-
lieve l am not prejudiced when
speak against the saloon or pool
room. Anarchy in high places IS
most dangerous and Indifference to
the law is anarchy"
Mayor Schott here was able to get
in a few words and he told of the
work in cleaning up the city that was
being done by the present admins
tration. 1--WE have been cleaning up,
and we expect to keep at it," he said
81 have raised nine children and
none of them are to be found around
a pool room or in a saloon" said
Councilman ]. NJ. Brown. addressing
the ladies "And l want to know why
you cannot do the same with your
children?"
THE little mother who had spoken
before with such force now spoke
with a pathos that was felt by all
present. as she said: "a mother who
! is a widow cannot take care of her
children as can a father She usually
has to work for her living and has
not the time for the intimacies or the
opportunity to teach and be with her
children as has the father Then there
are men down town who make 1t very
hard for that mother to keep her
children at home Judge Cavanaugh
has said: If there is anything worse
than a saloon it is the pool room
where the boy starts in an innocent
game of pool He sees the law broken
by the men there and he begins to
break the home laws and then he
goes down."
The closing remarks were not made
by a woman but by DR.. T. E. Webb
who replied to Councilman Browns
question by asking: How many men
are possessed of such rare judgment
and wisdom as you have?"
