City of Yakima, Washington Show Room, Elway & Miller Co., Aberdeen, Washington prominent hardware man. This splendid home was equipped completely with high grade plumbing fixtures furnished by the Seattle branch of Crane Co. and installed by Mellen & Riley of Yakima. By H. J. Baum The City of Yakima, situated in the center of the far-famed apple growing section of the State of Washington, is a fine type of clean up-to-date American town. Yakimans have a highly developed "city consciousness" with the result that no proposition relating to the betterment of their city is ever passed by without thorough consideration. They find time, however, to devote to their own homes, and the ones illustrated are fair examples of the sort of houses that are being built in this coming city. These include: A $30,000 home planned by Architect DeVeaux of Yakima for Wm. A. Bell, a A $25,000 house designed by Architect Deveaux for Dr. Helton. Plumbing fixtures, including two dental lavatories, were furnished by Crane Co. of Seattle and installed by the Lentz Hardware Co. A $30,000 home planned and built for Horace Rand, Vice President of the Cascade Lumber Co. The sanitary equipment of this place included three pedestal lavatories, two Woodmere baths, a large double drainboard, enameled sink and is furnished throughout with Crane Air-controlled Flush Valves. The work was done by the Lentz Hardware Co. A $175,000 addition was made recently to an already thoroughly modern High School. The equipment included Crane Air-controlled Flush Valves, Crane Modulating Valves and two Cranetilt Traps. A first class heating plant was installed by the Whitson Plumbing & Heating Co. Condensations We are encouraged in the continuance of this little feature of condensed original and borrowed observations by the fact that it has prompted a German firm in China to deprive itself of the pleasure and profit of reading THE VALVE WORLD- which, by the way, is not a hospital for incurables. We are told that Lenine is "affectionately" known in Russia by the nickname of "Illitch." We don't know what that means in Russian, but from an English point of view, and considering the sore irritations, outbreakings, eruptions and other "rash" disturbances that Lenine has inflicted upon the Russian people, the nickname in its marvelous fitness sounds like a colossa! irony. The lesson of most strikes is that one can't make "dough" out of a loaf.-Columbia (S. C.) Record. Mr. Hughes says Russia is an economic vacuum, but there can be no vacuum where there is so much hot air.-New York World. No matter how high taxes are, they always slide on down to the ultimate consumer. Albany Times-Union. The real Yellow Peril isn't a race, but a streak.-Boston Post. Crane Baseball Team, Kansas City.
