ASK FOR HIGHER WAGES.
Carpenters Elect Officers and Decide on Wage
Scale

Carpenters Elect Officers and Decide on Wage
Scale
The Carpenters Union met in the city
hall last Saturday evening for the pur-
pose of recognizing for the coming year
and to consider the question of raise
in wages. The following officers were
chosen: President. H. w. Corbett
vice-president, Elmer Schwartze treas
urer, Samuel Neeland; secretary, Lee
Watkins.
The wage scale was thoroughly dis
cussed and it was decided to ask con-
tractors for 1873 cents per hour with a
9-hour day, or 50 per day straight. 1t
was also decided to meet with the con-
tractors and builders on Wednesday
evening, March 5, and effect an ami
cable agreement with them, so that
both parties can work in harmony DUR
ing the season. Along with the raise in
wages, time and half will be allowed
for over time.

BASE BALL SEASON.
Association Elects Officers and Appoints Man
aeer for the Season.

The Yakima Base Ball association met
in the Club cigar store last Friday night
and organized for the coming season by
electing Thomas Lund president and
Fred Chandler secretary. This was
merely preliminary meeting to make
preparations for the ball season of 1902.
No plans were discussed at the Friday
night meeting, but the condition Of the
association was gone over. The treas
urer reported an Indebtedness of $216,
which is not high considering that the
association was not formed last year till
the middle of the season and that con-
siderable expense was entailed in fitting
up the grounds on Capitol Hill.
On Monday night another meeting was
held at the same place and plans for the
season were pretty fully discussed. w.
II. Patterson was appointed manager of
the association in place of Fred Altar,
who is now in the east. A team will be
organized here at once and practice will
begin so as to be in shape when the
season opens in earnest. Games will be
arranged with some of the best teams in
the state and it is expected the summer
OF 1902 will witness the most interesting
games ever played in the home city. As
soon as the land drys the grounds will
be put in shape and practice will begin.
Geo. Kohls was appointed captain of the
team.

KILLED A HORSE.
Charles Niles Beats Dumb Brute over the
Head Till II Dies.


Head TIL II Dies.
Charles Niles, an employee at the
livery stable of Sheriff Tucker, beat
horse over the head last Thurs.
day till it died. He was later arrested
on a charge of misdemeanor and plead
guilty to the charge before Justice Tag
gard.
The brutal act was committed inside
the livery stable. The horse was some-
what fractions and the man has bad
temper. He took the horse out to hitch
it up to a wagon. In jumping around
the animal fell and broke piece off the
end of the wagon tongue. This angered
the man. He led the horse inside the
stable and treated it in the most brutal
and shameful manner Not satisfied
with kicking the brute and beating it
over the head with his fist Niles took
the broken end of the wagon tongue and
beat it over the head. The poor animal
was knocked senseless and died from the
effects of the clubbing. Niles denies
using anything but whip in accomp-
fishing the inhuman act. He says he
only knocked the horse down and stood
on its head. That was enough. Justice
Taggard fined the defendant $40 and
costs

TALKING THROUGH IT'S HAT
The Walls Walla Union Tells How Yakima Is
to Be Divided.

The following is clipped from the
Walla Walla Union. That the author
of it is testing the acoustic propensities
of his hat there is no doubt. North
Yakima is not afraid of losing the
county seat of Yakima for awhile at
least, and there is no fight on, or any
signs of contest-not even an agitation
over the matter in this end of the uni
verse. Read the following:
"Since the forming of Franklin county
score of years ago, Pasco has borne
the title of capital. Ritzville has long
been the county seat Of Adams and
North Yakima has been the official city
OF the county of Yakima. But there
are other aspirants for these honors, and
there are at least three younger towns
in the respective counties that would
wrest the seats of government from the
older places.
z "Since the reclaimingof the arid lands
of Franklin, Yakima and Adams, many
are the mushroom towns and villages
that have sprung into existence.
Franklin has its Ethiopia, Connell and
Washtucna Yakima has its Sunnyside
and Prosser and Adams has its Lind.
Some of these are the jealous ones and
.many are the schemes devised and con.
templated by which they may obtain
the coveted morsel.
"Pasco is a railroad town. The train
men are the ones to whom she owed her
birth and owes her existence today. But
Cornell and Ethiopia depend on their
grain. Lind, Adams county, is south
west of Ritzville, more near the Frank
lin line. North Yakima stretches away
to the Northwest of the Snake while the
younger aspirant, Prosser, lies within a
few miles of the eastern boundary.
To retain her grip on the county seat
North Yakima, it is said, is willing to
give Franklin county townships between
Prosser and the Columbia. This would
place the new place almost on the
boundary while North Yakima would
set in the center of the county-a fit
place for the seat OF government.
"To save herself, Ritzville, too, has a
plan. She would give her neighbor,
Franklin county, the pan handle of
Adams county thus throwing Lind
nearer the line and placing herself in
the middle. The giving project OF
North Yakima pleases the Pascoites.
If Franklin is given part of Yakima
she will be more nearly the center of
the county and Cornell will be out OF
the race. On the other hand Connell
would be willing to receive slice Of
Adams county for the same reason.
