MAcLEAk n ASSOCIATES DISCUSSED.
Il. MacLsan returned TO Spokane Falls
last week, thoroughly Disguised with the
effort being made to invalidate the street
railway franchise granted to the company
he represents. He says the franchise can
not be invalidated, but Ills company does
not propose to enter upon an enterprise,
which must be 4 losing one for some
years. II the council or the people are dis
posed 10 throw obstacles in the way.
There are too many openings In this line
in other parts Of the state, where blind
prejudice and m~ossbackism will not have
to be commended with. The railway COM
pany, Mr.. MacIean says, does not ask
for any subsidy and is ready to begin the
work rs sOon as assurances are made that
It will not have to fight for its granted
rights. This same company is now
building eleven miles Of electric road In
the Conconully country.
ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE ON A LITTLE GIRL.
james Phillips, a man 50 years Of ago.
was arrested on Wednesday and com.
Ditted to Jail in default Of 5000 bonds
charged with making u criminal assault
on the six-year-old daughter OF Henry
scdge. At the preliminary examination
the evidence went to show that Phillips
enticod the girl and some companions to
his place at Yakima City on the promise
Of allowing them to pick gooseberries and
currants. While there he separated the
girl from her playmates and attempted
the crime for which he is now in jail.
The cries Of the little one and the appear
ance Of the other children frightened the
lecherous brute away. II is the opinion
Of quite a faction that the old fellow is
crazy and that the asylum Is better fitted
to his ease than the p~enitentiary.

Why WALLA WALIA Has TIE MONEY.
"A short time ago a number Of promi-
Dent Walla Walla gentlemen visited
Yakima and enjoyed the hospitality Of
the well known Yakima club. They
went home loaded with the subject and
proceeded forthwith to organize a club.
They patterned after Yakima in every
thing except putting up the dollars, and
when it came to that the citizens Of the
richest little city in the state cut the
initiation fee down to three-tenths Of that
Of the Yakima club. They couldn't stand
the dizzy pace we set for them. Perhaps
that's the reason they have the money.

n. p. land department, was in the city
