> There now seems to be no question but
what the Yakima Investment company,
owners of the Sunnyside ditch, will be
reorganized shortly after the 23d OF Sep
TENDER by the Northern Pacific company.

crossed most satisfactorily and the
receivers expect to be relieved at that
time. The secured Indebtedness amounts
to about $3.50 900, and there is about $751;
900 or $4,000 Of unsecured Indebtedness
in this county. Whether the latter will
be cared for under the arrangements for
reorganization is not known, but Re-
ceiver Donald ia using his efforts to pro-
tect the owners OF these claims. There is
a strong probability OF change in the

AT the meeting OF the city council
Monday evening the ballots regarding the
REIMBURSEMENT of the city park were
counted and there were So in favor of
and SO against. The
council should cease worrying it's head
over this matter. The sale was bona
fide one and cannot be abrogated, even If
every member of the city government and
every citizen were opposed to it. The
sale of the property was made and the
deeds drawn in due form. The price for
the same must be paid. 1t is hardship
to pay any Indebtedness during these
times when money is so appreciated, but
the time will come when the wisdom Of
the council 10 purchasing park grounds
will be fully recognized and commended.
