Armory Association Election.

There was something in the air Tues
day night that rather put the entire COM
munity on Its mettle, for wherever there
was meeting of any character there was
to be found q vigorous vocal kick and
active wire pulling. The meeting of the
Armory Association was no exception to
the rule and so much feeling was devel-
oped that a number OF shares OF stock
were bought in by one of the members in
order to control the election of officers.
ID. E. Mackinnon and his associates
rather downed E. F. Benson, +. G. Hall
and Marshall Scudder in the contest and
are now taking to themselves consider
able glory over the victory. The follow
ing were the officers elected: B. B.
Coombs, president; A. A. McDermid,
vice president; Charles F. Bailey, secre-
tary; Harry Coonse, treasurer; ]. C.
Liggett and Luke Jungst, trustees for ls
months; S. J. Neelands and F. d. Eshel-
man, trustees for IL months; Captain
Marshall Scudder and ID. f. Mackinnon,
trustees for months.

. Withdrawal of Arid Lands.

The local land office has an application
from the Commits sioner of Arid Lands
for the segregation OF seventy-seven
thousand one hundred and eighty acres
of land in Yakima county, to be with
drawn under the terms of the Carey Act.
This is the first withdrawal made under
the arid lands law in this state, or in any
OF the states, 30 far as has been reported
II includes much OF the best land in the
Yakima valley, or more properly, between
the Yakima and Columbia rivers, all care
fully selected and classified with an
abundant water supply, and a prelimi-
nary line for an irrigation canal which
will be one OF the largest in the world and
larger than any now constructed in the
United States. 1t presents an investment
for capital more favorable than has ever be-
fore been offered in an irrigation scheme,
as the acreage given will be more than
doubled by adding the odd sections which
the railroad stands ready to put into any
scheme along with the state lands. These
can be watered and sold-to purcha sers at
much lower figure than any irrigated
land that has ever before been put on the
market, and the acreage included will
furnish homes for, in round numbers,
forty thousand people, allowing each
family twenty acres, which is a generous
estimate for irrigated land. In addition
to this, about thirty thousand acres OF
state selections under other acts are COW
cred by the line OF the canal as run. The
value OF these other state lands depends
entirely upon irrigation. 1t is confidently
hoped, in view of negotiations already
begun, that these lands will be irrigated
without much delay, and be made the
hones of immense colonies, whose agents
are now looking to the Pacific coast for
locations large enough and cheap enough
to accommodate them.
The work of selecting these lands and
making the preliminary line for the ca
nal has been quietly going on since the
existence Of the commission though
advantage has been taken to very large
extent Of previous surveys made.
Even the supplemental work has been

Net indebtedness on warrants, IS, 500 SO
A petition was read asking for the re-
duction OF the saloon licenses from 81 900
to $3.50, and citing that owing to the pre-
vailing hard times the reduction had
been general throughout the state. The
petition was signed by all of the saloon
keepers in the city excepting Dooley. II
was moved by Simmons and seconded
by ImsIsnd that the matter be laid over
until the next regular meeting. This
was in the interest Of the saloons as Mr..
Cox, who is opposed to the reduction,
retires from the board.
The bill of Whitson & Parker and
Reavis & Englebart for $3.50. for services
in the case of X. Schmidt against the city
was called up and finally settled. When
Schmidt brought suit over the sewer con.
tract, for $4,000 damages, these at
torneys were employed to conduct the
case Of the city through the superior and
supreme courts for 81 600. The case was
called up in Seattle and there was q de-
cision in favor Of Yakima. The supreme
court sustained the lower court and the
city then settled with the attorneys on
the agreed basis. Subsequently the cast

HOT DISCUSSION AT The CLUB
The Arid Land Commissioners Big

fessers 10 Meet the Farmers-The
Armory Association Contest.

There will probably be no more SQUAD
bling over the $500 surplus money from
the Yakima fair which was turned into
the treasury of the Commercial club.
The treasury is empty. The money
seemed to burn in the club pocket. The
very first meeting OF the board after the
receipt Of the fund some of the members
tried to run through 1t like drunken sail
ors, and motions and resolutions were in.
troduced which, had they carried, would
have dissipated every dollar of it at
that time. Finally $50 of it was appro-
priated for sending Messrs. Benson and
Fechter back to the irrigation convention
at st. Paul Then, practically in lump,
800 was appropriated for another billiard
table, 800 for sending q. NJ. Mckinney
back to Michigan 10 secure immigration
to Yakima, and 800 for a sweepstake
display of farm products of this county
at the coming state fair. The last named
appropriation was certainly a veyy credit
able one. but the others nave aroused
considerable criticism. which resulted in
the introduction by H. J. Snively, at the
the monthly meeting of the club. Tues
day evening. of resolution to suspend
the action OF the governing board in APP
propriating 500 for Mr.. McKinney's trip
east, on the grounds that the board had
exceeded it's constitutional authority in
making said appropriation. A hot de-
bate followed in which it was developed
that Mr.. Mckinney had secured options
on some eight hundred acres of land in
the Wide Hollow and Ahtanum valleys
and that his trip to Michigan was for the
object of endeavoring to make sale of
this property to the Hollanders living in
the vicinity of Grand Rapids.
knowledge that there would be an eff
fort to rescind the action of the board in
this particular had evidently leaked out
for, during the discussion, it stated
that Mr.. Mckinney had that day cashed
his warrant. This apparently settled the
D,
although President Weed conceded that
the board had overstepped its consttu-
tional authority, the resolution, while it
carried, was practically defeated by the
passage of a subsequent motion, intro
duced by Mr.. Fechter, approving the ac-
ton of the board. The action of the
board with regard to the exhibit and bill
lard table appropriations were also ap.
proved. These, with the miscellaneous
appropriations already made, empty the
Club treasury of the fair fund, although
it is understood that there are Sly yet
to be turned over. Perhaps 1t may APP
pear as if partially is being shown in
not providing for excursions for other real

when this balance is received it may be
held until some undeniably worthy OBJ
ject is developed. There is always plenty

4 Yakima Farmers Institute.

An effort was made some time ago 10
organize Farmers Institute, and such
organization was effected, but at the first
meeting it was conspicuous by the alb
sence OF farmers. The Commercial club
has taken hold OF the matter with view
to benefting the farmers as well as adj
vancing the interests OF the county, and
it is certainly due from those in whose
behalf it is especially founded that they
should show enough recognition and
appreciation of the efforts made to be
present at the meetings. The CONNER
cial club is doing great work for the
county, as well as for the city aad the
committee, to whose province this matter
has been intrusted, has been successful
in securing several of the professors OF
the state agriculture college, who will be
in the city on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Th ursday of next week, the l4th, 18th
and 10th of January, and read papers on
various subjects of specific interest to the
farmers. The meetings are to be held in
Mason's opera house and no one who
tills the soil can afford to miss these op
portunities OF listening to men who have
made life study of their subjects.

II is true that their are included in
the above some items Of expense that
were Incurred. either wholly or In part
In previous years. but are difficult to
intelligently separate, and as they were
paid during 1895, they appear herein.
Also I viii state that 900 Was really paid
to the state treasury on account Of saloon
licenses instead of 5000 as appears above;
500 Of it was for the year 1894.
1t Is hoped that by careful review of
the above you will be able to discover
such things wherein the city government
can be, In some Of them. at least, con-
Quoted on q cheaper basis. Already
reforms have been begun in many things
during the past year, but think there is
still room for futher reduction in expenses,
among which will suggest in the mat
ter OF street work. Considerable cur
tailment can, and ought to be made.
The street comm issioner's books show
that 268 polls have been paid either in
money or work (none Of this is included
in the foregoing statement) and would
recommend that, just as nearly as is
reasonably practicable, all street labor be
done out Of the street poll tax, so that the
treasury may be drawn on as little as
possible on this account.
To bring this financial matter forcibly
to your minds, have to state that should
every dollar Of taxes as levied for the
year OF our Lord 1895 be collected, after
paying the interest on our bonded debt
and the water and light bill, ION which
latter we have n 25.year contr act) we
would have balance in our favor OF $40
out of that fund TO apply on any or all
other accounts.
So you may see that salaries Of city
officers and all other expenses, high and
low, small and large. must come out OF
other sources OF revenue. Already is a
petition pending before you for a reduc-
ton in the matter of revenue from the
principal source outside OF taxes, viz,
saloon license, and from this as well as
from your own personal knowledge OF the
severe financial stress under which, not
only the city, but the entire country is
now struggling, you may well pause be-
fore you incur an obligation OF any kind
or any amount that the law does not
absolutely impose upon you. In other
words recommend that the expense in
large matters be curtailed so far as prsc-
ticable. and that the many minor ones,
which become large in the aggregate, be
carefully sifted out,--finally, save every
dollar to the people that in all justice you
can.
Other matters as well as financial
ones, will coms before you and will be
discussed from time to time. Upon your
wisdom on all these questions have the
fullest confidence.
Respectfully,
w. II. REDMAN,
Mayor.
