The city council is making a vigorous effort to have the alleys and back yards cleaned in advance of the coming hot weather, and citizens should give the authorities every aid io this effort to improve the appearance of the town and lessen the menace of summer contagion and ill health.

The cost of such work ia trifling, while by so doing the danger of a aeige of fever is reduced to the minimum. The new souvenir World's Fair quarter dollar made an appearance in Yakima this week. This ia the first coin issued by the United States bearing the portrait of a woman. The design of the head on the dollar was taken from tbe profile of a Philadelphia woman, but waa considered merely ideal. The head on the ailver quarter is that of Isabella of Spain.

Forty thousand of these coins have been issued. Soke of the members of the city council are aaid to be in favor of reducing the expense, of the city hy cuiting off some of the electric lights. This is all very pretty in the abstract, but the kicking from those portions of the city from which the lights are taken will make the councilmen wish they had been unsuccessful of election. Citizens who live in vicinity of the mayor and members of the board are fortunate for it is almost certain tbat the lights in those quarters will not be disturbed. Delay in the receipt of hanging fixtures to connect The Herald presses with the water moter, which is to furnish power.

Has. in conjunction witb the large amount of advertising, compelled the manageto limit the space for reading matter for this week. It is fortunate that this has occurred at a time when there is a derth of news, but Til Herald hopes by next week, or the week following at the latest, to be equipped for any emergency. With additional facilities we hope to more than ever merit the liberal patronage which has been accorded by the public. Fos long time the magnificent store rooms in the two big Cadwell vacant and people spoke of the folly of erecting such fine structures away from Yakima avenue.

Tuc Herald was the pioneer occupant of one of these store rooms, but tbe city has not been standing still and these two large are now tenanted upstairs and down, anil some splendid business establishments are attracting tnicli trade and travel to Second street which it did not before possess. What is more, if there were additional store rooms they would not long remain idle. Yakima is growing. There is a vacancy in the United States senate, caused by the unexpected death, Tuesday night, of Lelaud Stanford, of California. The deceased was one of the richest men of the age, his wealth being variously estimated at from twenty to seventy millions.

He was a spender well as a maker of money; liberal in hi" religious and educational views and well thought of by the army of men on his pay rolls. The untimely death of bitonly son was a great blow to bim, and to the memory of this son was erected and endowed the magnificent educational in that bears his name, and is thy pride of the Golden state. Although the California ligislature is democratic, tingovernor is a republican, and the political complexion of the United Siatee will not be al ered by Stanford's death. Toe celebrated Borden trial is ended and the accused daughter of murdered parents is a free woman with verdict ol not guilty. The case has been characterized by the bitter push of the prosecution in an effort to fasten the crime on a woman whose entire previous life was one of circumspection.

The only motive thai could be advanced was her feelings towards her step-mother, which apparently were ol passive endurance, and against this were her religious, respectable and refined surroundings; the physical impossibility that Bhe could commit such a crime; that she could not have made the necessary changes in her clothes for the purposes of concealment, and the lack of reason and unliklihood that a woman reared in her stage of life could have hacked and disfigured the bodies of her victims, and one of them her father. While the murderer may never be discovered, the verdict in the case of Lizzie Borden will generally be accepted aa a just one and warranted by the circumstances. Tub Big Bend Empire, with condemnatory carelessness, quotes the failure of a Yakima bank along with those of Tacoma, Ellensburgh, Roslyn and Palouse City. The Empire man should be more careful in his statements for of the banks of tbe state those of Yakima have always been conspicuous for high financial standing, conservativeness and solidity of quarterly reports. During the general timidity throughout the country the deposits in the Yakima banks exceeded the withdrawals.

This could not be otherwise as the patrons of the banks have every confidence in the integrity of their officers, the financial status of the institutions, and the productive worth of the country in which they are fortunately located. A condition which has prevailed elsewhere is impossible in Yakiina. It may have a temporary effect on some lines of business, but our quick recuperative powers make the effect only temporary. Yakima Is not only the garden spot of the northwest, but it is today tbe most solid, substantial and progressive part of the coast states, and ia gem-ally recognized.

-As- Q-iRIFIFIIsrS. YAKIMA AVENUE. TELEPHONE 55. Commissioner Blalock is shipping strawberries grown on his ranch to the World's Fair. He doesn't propose to see thi products of Walla Walla cast in the shade by those of Yakima, or even give Yakima any chance whatever lo display her magnificent to horticulture and agriculture the Washington exhibit ia being worked aa sectiocal advertisement, and Yakima isn't id it.

Thi announcement that $500,000 in gold haa been shipped from England to this country is hailed as the turning of the tide. The United States has been drained of of gold since the first of tbe year, but for the past two weeks there have beeo no shipments, the reserve fund of the government has crawled op to $94,000,000 and England is once more buying wheat. I wily -here la sireaaanaa. Editor Herald. There was a time, not very long ago, when the now beautiful and solid city of Spokane was no larger than our city, but in a few years Spokane haa surrounded herself by a cordon of enterprises that made her great and strong; made her the pride of eaatern Washington and one of the commercial centers of tbe northwest.

A ldng. strong, steady, united effort on tbe part of her citizens did it. No set of men ever worked harder, or more faithfully, than did the iieople of Spokane, and for a long time they hung in tbe balance, but sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, "Spokane mnst win" waa their watchword, and they never quit until the pennant of victory floated proudly from their masthead. Shoulder to shoulder her people carried the day and laid the corner-atone of one of tbe great cities of the west. Now Yakima must follow suit.

In 8 years, in spite of hard times, discouraging circumstances, alone and unaided by corporation influence, North Yakima stands to-day the best town of her class in the west; and prosperous, solely on ber merits. The time has now come to throw off long dresses and get into short clothes. Let's become a city. It can be done if oar citizens will make up their minda to this. It can be accomplished and in a reasonable time.

A steady united pull will make Yakima the second city in eastern Washington. We unquestionably have the resources and all oilier requisites if we only put them together. I will mention a few enterprises within our grasp if we but think so. forty thousand acres west of town. a system of electric, or narrow gauge roads upoor valleys, opening them up to rapid transit, all feeders for Yakima; then encourage small manufactures, utilizing our water power and creating pay rolls.

We want a commission and forwarding house or two with capital enough to handle our crops to advantage, and with brains enough to protect our farmers, so they are not robbed as they have been in the paat by parties in different sections where they have shipped their stuff to. We want a first-class hotel where a man can get anything he wants if he is willing to pay for it. Our hotels are all right aa far as tbey go, but we are going to build a city, and a first-class modern house ia needed. We want an electric road to the old town, so all the land between here and there can be settled in small acre tracts. We want a brewery here.

We are in the best hop and barley section on earth, and every bit of beer get is shipped in. If beer we must have let's make part of it at home. We want another public school in the north end of town and a splendid high school centrally located. We want more dwelling a vacant one in town. We want seven or eight new brick stores rent them to-day if we had them.

I could go on, and on, and mention a dozen other enterprises that will pay, and I have not named one that by our influence and work we cannot place If every reader ef this letter recollect what I have said he will find it all true inside the next few years. I know that at the present time there are men of large means who are considering doing many of the I have mentioned, and it lies in our power to tie these men and iheir money to us if we give them a chance. It is our bounden duty to help these people to get such a hold as they want, tor by helping them we help ourselves, our country, and all make something. "Live aud let live" is a good everyday religion, and don't tarnish. We have iv our hands to-day the making of a city of twenty thousand people and if we don't improve our opportunities it is our own fault.

It is the duty of every man and woman ia Yakima to determine what they can do to help this great work along, and then do it with all their might. We are a progressiva people, dwell in the banner county of tbe greatest of states. Our possibilities are dazzling, natural resources great, opportunities on every band, and if we come up with a solid front nothing can stop us and a splendid future is positively assured. tmm F. R.

Chicago Inter-Ocean: "Rains potty nigh all the time in Washington, don't if" asked an Indiana man of a citizen of the Sunset State when the two met by the big pole in front of the Washington building which is aaid to float the largest American flag that has ever been made. The Washingtonian waa instantly indignant.

He gave the Hnosier a look that seemed capable of penetrating one of the big togs of the building, but smothering his wrath he said in a kindly way: "Come with me a minute, will you?" and they entered the main hall of the green-roofed structure and halted in front of the miniature farm. "Do you see those ditchea snd all those irrigation arrangements on that farm?" "Yea." "Well do yon suppose the people of Washington have put up about two millions of stuff to come two thousand miles to construct an ever-blooming, seasonprotracted, self acting lie here? If it rained potty much all the time in Washington do you s'pose that people out there would want to irrigate their farms? Now, lemme tell yon; we don't have any more falling in Washington than they have here in the Mississippi valley and the lake region. When you are having snow and ice and sleet and blizzsrds and things we are having rains out in Western ia. the Puget Sound country is the same aa it ia in Kansas, barring cyclones." By this time the Washingtonian, dwelling npon the advantages of his country, had lost his feeling of indignation and had begun to warm up toward all mankind. "Come out," he continued, "and fetch the folks.

We'll show you a country to live in; more big timber, more rich land, the finest fruit, the ablest-bodied watermelons, the grandest mountains and the greatest couniry under the aun. In the Palouae region where there are wheat farms by the mile, like this is supposed to represent, I've seen wheat piled in sacks in such a blockade that the railroads couldn't haul it away in months. But there are more roads now, and the farmer'a alliance have built an elevator at Tacoma that would hold wheat enough to appall the Chicago board of trade. Things are coming our way out in Washington, and there's room for millions. Como out and live." "But how about the Injuns?" asked the Indiana man.

"Siwashes," said the Washingtonian. "The only danger from them ia that one of 'em will strike you for a drink occasionally. But the law against giving whisky to Injuns makes you safe enough on that, both in purse and conscience. Look at that chunk of tons. How's them for apples? Say did you ever see such potatoes? Bushel in a the two strolled out of earshot.

J. A. Leach returned, on Friday last, from the Columbia river section of country where he has been making the assessment. He reports a large number of men employed along the river catching logs and running them down to Ainsworth. One of the men received a letter from his brother, who is on the headwaters of the Columbia, advising all those living on the low river lands to move to a place of satety, as there was more snow io the mountains than ever known belore and a great flood was assured.
