The town clock stopped on Monday,
as it had done at different times before,
and il has been the wonderment among
the people as to what causes the trouble.
Some people have been prone to con-
denim the time piece as being mo good,
but those who are proficient in solving
mysteries arrived at the right conclusion
Monday just after the noon hour when
the wind blew the strongest. The clock
tower sways during these heavy winds
thus preventing the machinery from
working properly.
John McPhee of the Natchez was in
the city on Monday and Tuesday attend
ing to business and renewing old ac-
quaintances. Mr.. McPhee is one of the
pioneers of this valley. He came from
Nova Scotia here in 1882 and took up Il
claim on the upper Natchez. When he
arrived there were but seven set
tiers on the Natchez and the oldest one
had only been there for seven years be-
fore. North Yakima was unheard OF
then and Yakima City was the county
seat lie was subscriber to the first
paper started in the old county seat
town, The Signal and when the HERALD
was started he was among the first SUBJ
scribers to it, being on the list ever
since.
The stone crusher and roller purchas-
ed by the city arrived here Friday and is
still on the Northern Pacific side
tracks. Both pieces OF machinery were
broken when the car containing them
reached its destination. The railroad
is responsible for the breakage, the acci-
dent being caused by jam among a lot
OF cars. The broken parts are one Of
the endless chain wheels, used in the
elevator, and the weight shaft Of the
roller, used in balancing it. The city
will not be the loser by the accident ow
ing to the fact that the machine was to
put down here and operated before Il
cent was paid on it. The broken parts
will be sent ON Immediately and the ma
chine pat i'll good shape as soon a. pos
sible.
