The Yakima and Natcheez rivers were
ut the high water mark early in the week,
and the main span Of the Mckee bridge,
the largest in the county. went out at
o'clock Tuesday morning. This is the
second time within five years that this
bridge has been destroyed by freshets,
and according to competent engineers,
thC DiCi was hOt iOuuutu upOn Dtu-
rock, but upon strata Of cemented gravel
and sand which being loosened by the
action of the water, the pier is under
mined and as a natural result the bridge
falls. But there is another matter
in this connection which The HERALD
desires to place before the county COM
missioner. The cribs or breakwaters
that were supposed to protect the piers, at
the bridge in question, were filed with
"nigger-heads" or river rock that is of
about as much protection as so much
sawdust. The proper material for these
cribs is basalt rock, of which there is an
abundance close at hand. An error is
made in letting portion OF the building
of bridges to contractors and finishing up
the approaches and cribs by the inexper-
fenced work of day laborers. Some $751;
600 has already been expended on this
bridge and in letting the contract for the
new work the commissioners should
let the crib work to the bridge contract
ors and make them insure their work.
Owing to the failure OF means OF trans
portation across the Yakima river the
Sunnyside Lumber Company decided to
make North Yakima the basis OF opera
tons and will establish large yard here.
Mr.. S. B. Dusinberre, Of Puyallup, one Of
the principal stockholders, was in the city
Wednesday and so impressed was he with
the field and the opening that arrange
ments for the change Of plans were at
once made. The lumber is being sawed
at South Bend, which furnishes the
choicest timber in the state, and 80 cars
are now on the road and will be unloaded
here upon their arrival, while 40 addi-
tional cars will be shipped at once.
Another effort is to be made to boom
Pasco. The Pasco Land company, of
which L. G. Frey is president and man
ager, has made application TO increase its
capital stock to 81 ,OOo, 900, and the plans
contemplate irrigation and internal iu-
provements. II. M. Mccartney, the vice.
president OF the company has obtained a
franchise for water works, the construc-
ton OF which is to begin within 60 days
and be completed within year.
Jessie LeSeur's handsome figure and
pleasing personality makes the Fairy
Godmother of Cinderella a prominent
feature of the grand spectacular produc-
ton of that beautiful fairy story.
See Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Kelly in "a
Family Affair" and "a Household Fairy"
at Mason's opera house Saturday evening.
Yakima's favorites should have crowd
ed house.
Little Irene the clever child artist and
phenomenal skirt dancer is one Of the
greatest hits ip Cinderella and her per-
Torrance never fails to bring forth rounds
of applause.
