The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1912-05-22

The following story IL taken from
the Herald of May 18th, 1893, when
North Yakima entertained the knights
at Grand Lodge session. 1t will be
read with interest by many old tim
ers here who we'll remember that SEES
sion. as well as many of the visiting
knights, who are here for the first
time.
Dame nature is as fitful and MUIR
|cureal OF temperature as the sex to
which she is ascribed. She can be as
happy and as winsome as young
temper of a shrew. After charming
Jail Yakima with her favors during the
week previous to the session of the
Grand Lodge Of the knights Of Pyth-
las, and lulling us to sleep in fancied
security of her kindness she greeted
the advent of our guests on Tuesday
with a change of mood that brought
forth all of her bad traits. She fret
ted, stormed, shed tears and tore up
the dust until disgust was the portion
of everyone. The next morning she
pouted, then smiled and even laughed
for a time, but no reliance could be
placed in her humor and when she
was not cutting UP her didos, the fear
that she would had q tendency to take
away much of the pleasure of the &C.
casion.
The city is attractively decorated.
Bunting in the emblematical colors Of
the order Is to be seen everywhere,
and while all the business houses are
embellished, many are gorgeously
decorated, and with much display of
taste. Across Yakima avenue, near
Second street, is large arch covered
with evergreens and the order colors
and bearing the inscription "Welcome
Knights" In the evening this, light
ed by electricity and the varied colors
Of the lamps add to the gala appear
ance of the handsome structure. The
advance guard of the knights began
to arrive on the afternoon trains from
the east Sunday, and continued COM
ing up to and including Wednesday
morning. How many there are 1t is
difficult to say, the estimates varying
from four to six hundred. or course
these are not all knights, as many are
accompanied by their wives, families
and friends.

Tuesday, but the only business trans
acted was the reception credentials.

ON GARBAGE
THE CITY IS At FAULT
Ladies Want Garbage RGmOV'

Complaints to The Times-Recorder
office from ladies of the city who have
failed to have garbage removed f ON
Jnnil premises by the city sanitary
department continue to come in, and
a number we've received yesterday.
1t is the claim of the ladies thai
though it was announced some time
ago by the city sanitary deyartment
that regular rounds would be made
by the sanitary wagons to remove gar
bage, etc, that after the first round
was made by the wagons nothing else
has been done by the department 10

The need of the removal of garb-
age is even greater now that the hot
weather has come, according to the
ladies, than it has been hitherto They
wish to know why the city has failed
to keep it's pledge to aid them in keep
ing premises clear of this hurtful
matter. Though they continue to
gather the garbage together, no wa
gon appears to remove it from the
premises.
