DRAINAGE ON RESERVATION
Major Jay Lynch Tells of Work by
Progress There by Government

Major Jay Lynch, who has been on
the reservation for the past two weeks
came to North Yakima Saturday ana
expressed himself as being greatly
pleased with the drainage in progress
there under the supervision of En-
gineer Martin. Major Lynch SAID;
without making reference in any
way 70 anything else one can say pos
itively that in the drainage work the
government is certainly doing the
right thing in the right way and l
will add that l think Mr.. Martin IS
the right man. / have looked at what
work he has in progress and what he
has accomplished and am fnee to say
that it is splendid. Yakima people
as a class, are not posted in the pro-
rress that is being made there but II
is well worthy their inspection and
attention"

exhibit carries with it a prestige that
is worth many times the face value Of
the premium as matter OF publicity.
This has long been a recognized fact
in stock and manufacturing exhibits
and it may easily be demonstrated on
all industrial exhibits. The publicity
campaign that any section, district OF
county is making can not be better
advanced than by a strong exhibit at
the state fair where resources can sc
easily and readily be exploited and
reach such wide range of people for
the state fair attracts the prospective
homeseeker and the capitalist seek
ing investment in larger proportion
than any other class of exhibits.

WANTED-A WIFE

wanted--a wife. Come, nov, who
will apply?
Hers shall be everything riches can
buy,
All that l have will lay at her feet
If these requirements she's able to
meet.
She must be witty ana pretty and
wise,
Able to counsel and aid and advise;
Strong as Gibraltar in will she must
Except in the case where she differs
from me.
She must be able to sternly COM
mand;
All flesh must quail at the wave of
her hand,
To no one on earth must she e'er
bow the knee
Except in the case where she's deal
ing with me.
Though her beauty may captivate
those she doth meet,
She must husband her charms in a
manner discreet,
For her powers and graces no other
must see
She may smile, If she will. but smile
only at me.
When the women shah vote, as they
may before long,
May her power be great ana her IN
1uence strong,
But on this I'll insist-she must al
ways agree
With the platforms and pTinoiplss
fostered by me.
Wanted-a wife. What! Don't no
one apply?
Is there no ready mate for q man
such as /.
When I'm offering wealth and Iifs
fraught with ease
In return for requiramen ts simple a.
these?
Wanted--a wife. What n this that
you say?
That I've been asleep twenty years to
day?
That no such requirements longer are
known
And that woman at last has como
into her ovn7
A wife is no longer q chattel, you
say?
Though she honors and loves she,s
not forced to obey
Woes me! I'll withdraw my request
for a wife
And go back to sleep for the rest of
my life.

WINNING THE BOY FOR THE.
FARM

Back to the farm! has been the
cry in recent years in an attempt tc
stop the exodus from the farm to the
cities, and an attempt is being made
TO win the workers from the factory
and the shop to the farms and to
farm life This pan is now beng
furthered in an attempt to begin at
the beginning and train up the boy in
the way he shall go. The boy on the
farm is to be won to his occupation
by showing him the possibilities of
the business
To this end the government is lena
ing its assistance. The federal de-
partment of agricultural has decided
to enlis, the boys in a competitive
effort. the result of which h9. been
TO get the boys interested in the DDS
sibilities of employing scientific meth
DDS to obtain results. II teaches the
value Of brains as applied 10 asclcul
ture and gives the boy chance to
see that there is something in the
game except work and drudgerv.
As sign OF the new attitude to-
ward the boy and farming. the plan
Of the New York state commission
IL admirable This commission has
supervision Of the state fairs. One
hundred boys from all parts of the
state who have shown interest in i'm
proved agricultural conditions and
who would he sure to profit by the
treat, are to he sent TO the state fail
at Syracuse in order that the knoWl-
edge there to be gamer may be diff
fused throughout the whole state.
Here seems to be a wiser use or the
agricultural fair than has heretoofre
been generally noted.

A trapeze swings from the backyard
trees,
Where Johnny hangs by his bare,
brown knees.
And shows the Lids all the tricks that
went
with a rush and whirl meath the
circus tent.
He stands aloft On the swaying bar.
As the youngsters gather from near
and far,
And executes on his flying swing
The latest stunts Of the CIRCUS ring.
'Tis plain to see that this sturdy lad
Has the circus feveE, and has it bad!
And now he moves with a sudden
bound
In swift syrations across the ground.
And turns cartwheels to the keen de-
light
OF those who're Watching the novel
sight.
This way and that vsay, and tn and
out
Small Johnny easily twists about
And even flies in the face Of death,
While mother watches with bated
breath,
And silently there she stands and
prays
That soon he'll tire of the circus
craze.
On the tight rope next he will there
essay
A stunt he witnessed on circus day.
And back and forth on the slender
thread,
Small Johnny. goes with level head.
Skipping and hopping he moves along
To the great delight Of the youthful
throng,
While mother stands on the ground
below,
And deep in her heart she would like
to know
How soon her offspring will weary ~
OF the circus stunts that he went to
see.

Two stars will go on the faS and
several more votes go to the electoral
college as the result of the passage
of the statehood resolutions. There
was a time when it was claimed that
statehood was denied Arizona and
New Mexico because of their politi-
cal affiliations, but from the great in
crease of growth in the north and west
the mere mater of a few more votes
in the electoral college is not to be
considered even if it ever was a factor
in determining their admission into
the Union.

WHERE SPEAKER CLARK POINTS
WITH PRIDE

| At the close OF the recent session
Speaker Clark in a press interview
took some disqualification of review
ling the record the democrats made
| during the session. He pointed with
pride to the fact that the democrats
| had redeemed every promise but he
failed to say at what expense and I'M
der what pressure the democracy had
accomplished this feat. He failed to
say that under the spur of the presi-
dents veto the statehood bill was
passed and in the passage of the bill
the democratic house reversed itself.
1t voted in the first instance for the
recall of judges and in the final ac-
ton of the curtailment of that pro-
vision.
The campaign publicity bill which
the democratic house finally passed
was not the half-hearted measure
which they drafted but the real meas
ure for publicity and reform which
was thrust on them by the republi-
can majority of the senate. The tar
iff bills which have been vetoed are
singular mcdleys of haste, ignorance
and folly. The president properly
characterizes them as makeshifts and
passed wholly for the purpose of play
ing politics. Had they been signed
by the president there would have
been such a dislocation of business
that the demands of the regular ses-
sion would have been strong for the
repeal of the measures.
Even as to matters of party reforms
the democrats of the house have been
forced to follow Bryan rather than to
follow their own conception of the
fitness of things In promising to
Underwood and his party of friends
surrendered to Mr.. Bryan and con-
cede that he was correct in his re-
cent structures of Underwood and his
democratic associates on the ways and
means committee.
All these are developments of the
season with which Speaker Clark can
hardly point with pride. The real
work of the session was planned by
influence not in harmony with the
democratic party and their part in The
results was taken because the matters
were thrust upon them in such a way
as to make such action inevitable on
their part. The more the voters will
study the work of the extra session
the more they will be convinced that
the democratic party was neatly trap
ped into the carrying out of repub-
lican policies and that the real credit
belongs to the president and the ad-
ministration leaders in congress.

The Herald appreciates the fact that
the city council has much on it's hands
in the way of public Improvements,
but it would suggest that nothing
would perhaps aid in ending stran-
gers and our own citizens too for that
matter, more than the numbering OF
the houses in the new districts recent
ly taken into the city. No movement
has been made to get the residents IN
these districts to number their hous-
es and places of business and it ought
to be done. 1t is always to the credit
of any city when strangers find the
names of the streets on the corners
and the houses numbered.

Politics is a campaign Of education
Under the new regime there is certain
TO be more publicity and less pun.
The successful politician of the fu-
ture will be expected TO take it up
with the people individually and col
lectively. Heretofore he has depend
ed chiefly on a political boss who
was a go-be-tween but now it is a
matter of heart to heart talks. This
is bringing the matter back to the
people where it belongs The direct
primary has eliminated the ward heel
ers and has brought the office holder
and office seeker in direct commune
cation.

The direct primary is a sort of an
process, but it still leaves

tween two, so there is still a battle
to be fought and won

The trip round the world in forty

beaten within the year. 1t makes eX-
press speed possible in countries
where there are no railroads. and it

until one had torn out, while the other
carried q circular block Of carved wood
three inches in diameter The torn
ear had been pierced again, but this
tine not so ambitioUsly, for the whole
accommodated no more than a short
CLAW pipe. The man-hOrse was greasy
and dirty and naked save for an ex-
ceedinglv narrow and dirty lOin cloth,
but the white man chung to him close
" and desperately. At times from
weakness his head dropped and rested
On the wooly pate. At other times he
lifted his head and stared with swim
ming eyes at the cocOanut palms that
reeIed and swung in the shimmering
heat. He was clad in a thin under
shirt and a strip Of cotton cloth that
wrapped about his waist and descend
ed to his knees. On his head was
battered Stetson. known to the trade
as a "Baden-PowelL" About his mid
die was strapped a belt, which carried
q large calfbered automatic pistol and
several spare clips, loaded and ready
for quick work.
The rear was brought up by black
bov Of fourteen or fifteen, who carried
medicine bottles, a pail Of hot water
and various other hospital appurte-
nances. They passed out Of the com
mound through a small wicker gate,
and went on under the blazing sun,
winding about among new planted CO.
coanuts that threw no shade. There
was not a breath Of wind, and the
superheated, stagnant air was heavy
with pestflence. From the direction
they were going arose a wild clamor
as Of lost souls wailing and Of men in
torment. A long. low shed showed
ahead. grass walled and grass
matched. and it was from here that
the noise proceeded There were
sbrieks and screams, some unmistak-
ably Of grief. others Enthusiastically Of
uncomfortable pain. As the white man
drew closer he could hear a low and
continuous moaning and groaning. He
shuddered at the thought Of entering
and for q moment was quite certain
that he was going to faint. For that
most dreaded Of Solomon island
scourges, dysentery. had struck Ber-
