Prosecuting Attorney Englehart is now
quite busy preparing for three suits
which have been filed by the Northern
Pacific Railway company against Yakima
county. The complaints comprise 80
pages each Of type written matter, the
object being to free certain. lands belong
ing TO the company from taxes for the
years 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891 and 1892. The
taxes the company ask to be relieved
from amount to about $1,000, and the
allegations are that portion OF the lands
were not patented and that the law was
not complied with in the manner OF
assessment and levy OF the taxes. The
suits are quite important, for upon the
success Of the company depends the in
stitutioD OF similar suits by the irrigation
companies owning large bodies OF land.
Attorney Englehart realizes the import.
ance OF winning these cases, and is bend
ing every energy to make the county de-
Tense successful. They will come up for
hearing either in the October or Decem-
Der term OF the superior court.
Agent Erwin, Clerk Banks and Engi-
neer kingsbury were in Sunday from the
reservation ditch, where the payment Of
$1,000 on the July roll had just been made.
The main ditch is now completed for a
distance of eight miles and lumber is on
the ground for the building of the head
gates, when water will be turned in.
Another ditch, the intake of which is a
few miles west Of Toppenish, has also
been started. This was decided upon in
lieu of one of the main laterals. 1t will
be four. miles long and will water 1000
acres OF choice land
Deputy U. s. Marshal Catron and

with which they are charged are as fol-
lows: Samuel Quenet and John Walso

Richard Smith was down from the
Wenas yesterday and says there is royal
sport up there for some huntsmen with
good dogs. A big cougar and bear
have taken up their abode in copse OF
brush on the ranch of Mr.. Kayser, and
the former is making havoc with the pigs
of the neighborhood, while the bear is
preying on the orchards, Mr.. Smith
says sportsmen from town will be well
coined and given every assistance by the
settlers.
Fred Thompson is of the opinion that
winter apples will not command a very
high price this season, as the eastern
orchards and those OF the Mississippi
valley are bearing well this year. Pres
ent quotations. however, are fairly salts
factory, and it is fact that there has
never been winter yet in the history of
this country when a good apple would
not command good price.
The sawmill on the Yakima reserva-
ton was destroyed by fire on Sunday.
1t is mystery how it caught, as the
mill had been closed down for number of
days. The loss will amount to several
thousand dollars and, like all govern
ment property, was uninsured.
Mrs Emily Chambers, of the Wenas.
returned on Monday from California.
where she has been spending the sum-
mer in search of lost health, which she
was fortunate enough to recover.
Born, Sept. 8, to Mr.. and Mrs. o. v.
Carpenter, son. The proud father SAYS
the first thing the young man did was
to jump upon the footboard of the bed
and hurrah for Mckinley.
