Under municipal ownership every dollar earned by the water plant in excess of operating expenses will not leave the city monthly, never to return. It would be like buying your goods at home.
There is no necessity for the use of meters in a gravity system, which admits of cheap operation. It is true that meters are in use in many other cities, but as a rule they are employed only in cases where the water has to be pumped. That is not the case in North Yakima.
The present franchise of the Northwest Light & Water Company has twenty-eight years yet to run. If it continues in force for that period the people of North Yakima will have paid for the plant, at present value, not less than ten times and would still have no plant of their own. Is there any business sense in such a policy ?
The argument made by opponents of municipal ownership that the system in practice here would seem an increase of taxes is not borne out by the ex- perience of other cities that own their own water works. Over a dozen cities of the first, second and third class in this state operate their own water systems at a profit. The profit thus derived is used in support of the municipal govern- ment, thus lowering taxation.
Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Bellingham, Everett, Walla Walla, Olympia and many of the smaller cities of the state all operate their own water systems and do so with profit, and what is more, to the satisfaction of their citizens. It is rot to assert that the enterprising, thriving city of North Yakima can not do the same thing.
FEDERAL BUILDING, YAKIMA
439
HISTORY OF YAKIMA VALLEY
Under the provisions of the present franchise the city council is practi- cally powerless and is unable to protect the people either from a financial or a sanitary standpoint.
Recent experiences with fire in this city show the imminent danger we are constantly in on account of insufficient pressure. So long as this condition of affairs exists the wonder is that men can be found who are willing to risk their capital in the erection of costly buildings. The present system affords little or no protection to the owners of four and five story buildings as the pressure is uniformly too low. The franchise calls for seventy-five pounds pressure to the square inch. The present average pressure is fifty-five pounds.
It is estimated that under municipal ownership the city could finish paying for the present plant in about ten years. A sinking fund would be established to make provision for the payment of the bonds. The city itself is not liable for the payment of the principal, although, of course, it would plainly be its duty to see that the bonds are paid when due. Under the provisions of the wise and beneficent law under which we propose to proceed, the city acts the part of an administrator.
To condemn the present water plant, which the city has an unquestioned right to do, is better business policy than to build a new system. A new system would require about two years in building and would then come into competi- tion with the present system, and fierce competition might spell failure. More- over, the city would still be bound by the provisions of the present franchise. which would mean that the municipality itself must remain a patron of the Northwest company, or its successor.
North Yakima is destined to become a city of importance and at the ex- piration of ten years should have a population of 30,000. In order to grow, however, we must have right conditions.
The most essential condition is a full and healthful water supply that will be supplied to the people as cheaply as possible. Water is as essential to life as is air. No soulless corporation should have jurisdiction over the people's water supply. Water for drinking purposes should not be an article of com- merce. Corporations are formed for the purpose of paying dividends. The people of North Yakima have been milked long enough.
Under municipal control the city would begin at once to improve the water system. The "dead ends" should be eradicated, a settling basin provided and a modern filter system inaugurated. The mains should also be extended to reach 3,000 or more people who are now forced to drink water from unsanitary wells. Is there any man foolish enough to assume that such a policy of im- provement will injure the city?
The neighboring towns of Ellensburg, Roslyn and Cle Elum all own their own water systems and find their operation a source of profit. But what is of more importance they give their people an abundant supply of pure, fresh water, nor is it found necessary to dole it out to them through meters.
Under municipal ownership of the water plant the dust nuisance could be largely abated in North Yakima. The city should own the sprinkling wagons and keep the dust down. At any rate the installation of 150 new hydrants in
440
HISTORY OF YAKIMA VALLEY
the residence sections would help to solve the problem, and there are at least that many new hydrants badly needed.
It is an injustice that water users should be compelled to pay rent for the use of meters, an ingenious contrivance that not one person out of fifty knows how to read. There is no need of meters anyway in connection with a gravity system, except, perhaps, in a few special cases.
The actual cost of delivering water by a gravity system, such as ours, ought not to exceed the modest sum of one cent per 1,000 gallons. Who says that there are not great possibilities or profit in this business?
The city now pays $3.75 per month rent on every hydrant and there are about eighty hydrants in use, although at least 300 are needed. It would prac- tically bankrupt the city to be compelled to pay for adequate fire protection at this ruinous rate.
The amount of money paid out monthly by our city government for water service is in itself more than sufficient to pay the interest upon the company's bonded indebtedness. Under municipal ownership at the worst the city would merely have to pay the interest on the bonds. It is doing that now for a very poor service.
The proposed water bonds, if need be, can be sold right here at home to good advantage. Any bond that North Yakima puts out is worth its face and will command a ready sale.
Municipal ownership under the system proposed is like borrowing the money from a building and loan association with which to build a home-a system that beats paying rent all to smash.
When a man tells you that he is against municipal ownership because that he is opposed to the city going any further into debt, explain to him that the city under the proposed system will not increase its bonded debt. The bonds to be voted will constitute a mortgage against the water works, which the water works in due time will pay off.
To be eligible to vote at the special election August 28th, you must have resided within the state for one year, the county ninety days and the precinct thirty days.

R. V. HOPPER, City Clerk.
We find in the last issue of Polk's Directory so good a summary of the essential features of the present city of Yakima that, although to a degree a repetition of facts given elsewhere, we believe that our readers will be glad to have it as a brief consolidation of the extended treatment given, and also as having a value from being a portion of a work which is distributed in all parts of the Pacific Coast. It may be noted here that the bank deposits given in the directory have very much increased during the past year, as shown by the pres- ent figures given elsewhere.
We give here selected portions of the directory account :
Yakima is rapidly assuming importance as an industrial center, and in luni- bering, manufacturing and kindred industries. One of the largest and best- equipped sawmills and sash, door and box factories in the West is located here. Several creameries are in operation in and near the city as a result of the rap- idly growing interest in dairying throughout the country. The large amount of fruit and vegetables raised nearby is attracting canning and preserving in- dustries, and such works have already passed the experimental stage, and prom- ise to assume great importance. The sugar beet industry has been introduced and a million-dollar sugar factory is now in operation. Apples grown in these valleys are in great demand in Seattle and other coast cities, under the now
448
HISTORY OF YAKIMA VALLEY
famous name of "Yakima Apples." Large quantities are contracted for yearly by buyers from Chicago, St. Louis, London and elsewhere. The wholesale and commission business is well represented, and many other interests are well es- tablished. The Yakima potato is also famous. The Northern Pacific "Big Baked Potatoes" come from this valley. There are also large and well-equipped electric light, gas and water works plants, and the city has a paid fire department with the most up-to-date equipment in the Northwest. An electric railway is ope- rating forty-five miles of inter and suburban trackage. The business streets are paved with brick.
The various mercantile establishments would do credit to a much larger city. They carry, as a rule, larger stocks and a higher class of goods than is ordinarily found in a city of this size supported by a farming community. This is necessary to meet the peculiar demands of its inhabitants and of a thickly populated community of intelligent and well-to-do people successfully engaged in diversified and intensified agriculture.
The banks of the city, of which there are five, having a combined capitali- zation and surplus of $800,000, are among the most stable in the state, and do a prosperous business. The deposits are now about $6,500,000 [$8,056,000 by later report ].
To realize the possibilities which lie before the city of Yakima in an indus- trial and commercial way, as well as in the attainment of a high social and educa- tional plane, one has only to stop and consider the forces which are at work in its behalf. The natural center of a large irrigated region, which has wonderfully developed in the past and must still continue to develop almost without limit, the city benefits by the upbuilding and development of all parts of it. Irrigation means the production of large crops. Large crops, requiring more care on a given amount of land and larger profits, tend to the holding and cultivating of smaller tracts by those who till the soil. The large products arising from scientific hor- ticulture also tend to the subdivision of the land and the increase of the number of holders upon a given area. This, in connection with the fact that it is the more highly educated and progressive agriculturists who are attracted by the advantages of an irrigated over a non-irrigated country, easily accounts for the fact, apparent to all comers, that the people of the Yakima country are above the average in general intelligence and progressiveness.
Practically all of the land for three or four miles on all sides of the city has been subdivided and platted into small tracts of from one to ten acres. This land sells at from $100 per acre upward, depending upon its location, the char- acter of the soil, and the state of improvement and cultivation.
Yakima and the surrounding country offer the conditions necessary for the building of happy homes filled with an intelligent, prosperous and contented people. In the city there are four newspapers, fifteen churches, a $200,000 Masonic Temple and a $250,000 Federal Building, a $200,000 Catholic Hospital, and $60,000 Armory, a $65,000 Elks' Home, a good public library supporting an open reading room for the general public, and four large and well appointed theatres. The city has an excellent public school system composed of high and graded schools. An up-to-date Commercial Club looks after the commercial and industrial interests of the city and valley.

HISTORY OF YAKIMA VALLEY
The Washington State Fair is held here each Fall, commencing the third week in September and lasting one week. The fair grounds and buildings are commodious and well equipped, and, under the present capable management, the fair is fast assuming importance as a state event.
The city is in easy and quick communication with all parts of the sur- rounding valleys by means of rural delivery mail routes and telephone systems. Seven rural delivery routes run out from Yakima and there are others in opera- tion in other parts of the county. Telegraphic service, locally and with the out- side world, is furnished by the Western Union Telegraph Company and tele- phone service by the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company. The latter com- pany has a public long distance station in the city and also a local telephone exchange which covers the city and is being extended into the surrounding country by the building of lines in different directions.
The climate is mild and invigorating. As is true of all places where irri- gation must be resorted to in agricultural pursuits, there is a large preponder- ance of sunshine over cloudy weather. Ordinarily, from the first of March to the first of December, there is little rain, an abundance of sunshine, and the air is dry. Owing to the dryness of the atmosphere, changes in the temperature are not so noticeable as in humid climates; and, while the extreme change of temperature is perhaps from 15 degrees below zero to 105 above, instances of extreme heat or cold are of rare occurrence and of short duration. Sunstroke is unknown.
.
The county is happy in the possession of the world-known and famous Yakima Soda Springs, which are situated in the mountains amongst the finest scenic surroundings, with good fishing and hunting. They may be reached by automobile from any town around, being thirty miles west by road from Yakima or nineteen miles from terminus of Yakima Valley Transportation Company (electric) at Wiley City.
In conclusion, it may be added that, while the attainments of the Yakima country have been great, the possibilities of the future are far greater. It stands now in the front rank of agricultural communities in the quantity, diver- sity and value of its productions, and in the conveniences of modern civiliza- tion enjoyed by its inhabitants, and the fields of progress are still open and wide.
YAKIMA'S FINANCIAL PART IN THE WORLD WAR
The closing of the World War while these pages are in preparation, seems to make it fitting that this chapter concerning the official and financial history of the city close with a view of the financial part taken by city and county in the war and with our contribution to the fighting strength of Uncle Sam's over- seas forces. Through the kindness of Mr. O. A. Fechter we are able to present these figures :
Sale of Liberty Bonds in county to November 1, 1918. $3,917,951.00 War Savings Stamps in city 167,015.80
Allied War Benevolences, county 371,098.00

It may be added that the bank deposits for the city of Yakima amounted at the last call on November 1, 1918, to $8,056,000.
YAKIMA'S CONTRIBUTION OF MEN TO THE WORLD WAR
Valuable though the contributions of money and treasure may have been, those of men have been far more valuable.
Yakima County gave a noble tribute of her boys, the best and bravest of her sons, to the great cause of their country and the world.
Through the kindness of Miss Anthon of "The Republic," we are able to. give the list of those Yakima men who received commissions and those who. gave "the last full measure of devotion." The entire list of men is worthy of preservation, but our space does not permit. We give first the commissioned. officers :
