To Be Prosecuted.

O. c. Riches, post Office detective,
was in North Yakima during the latter
part of the week investigating a COM
plant made by c. A. Bryant, farmer
living in the Selah, against man by
the name of Allinger.
Allinger, it will be remembered, fig
ured here last winter as a produce brok-
or, making claims of being member OF
q big firm and representing other firms
IN the produce line, upon the strength
Of which it is said he got considerable
amount of produce, greatly to the loss of
many producers hereabouts.
Whilst here, it is alleged, he went to a
newspaper office, as part of his little
game, and had some letterheads printed
representing upon them that he was a
member of a concern in San Francisco
with branch houses in most of the east
ern cities. 1t appears that this is vio-
lation of the postal laws of the United
States, which makes it an offense of
very serious character for any one to use
the mails in aid of fraudulent intentions.
II. j. Snively, Bryant's attorney, laid
the matter before the United States au-
thorities with the result that Allinger
will be prosecuted.
He is now in California but can be
readily apprehended and brought back
for trial. Detective Riches says there is
no question but what the use of these
letterheads by Allinger was with fraud
ulent intent and was done to give him
self false standing with the farmers.
making it appear that he was member
of big firm himself, having vast rami-
fications in New York, Minneapolis,
and St. Louis, with headquarters in San
Francisco.

Wilcox was granted permission to cut
down the trees in front of his new store
building on Second street.
The city clerk was instructed to adj
vertise for bids for the building of side
walks on First, Second and Fourth
Streets Engineer Ernest Mccullough
was then listened to in long and in
teresting talk as to his ideas of the best
manner by which the sub drainage sys-
tenn, now so necessary to the health and
general prosperity of the city, should be
accomplished. His plans were submit
ted to the council and mayor, to be
looked into and given due consideration.
The resignation of city engineer Mar
BILE from the supervision of the work of
matchmaking Second street in connec-
ton with the protests filed against the
work was held over until the adjourned
meeting Wednesday evening. Protests
from about twenty five leading citizens
owning property abutting on the street
were read, complaining that the work
was not being done in accordance with
the plans and specifications and assert
ing that their pro rota assessment for
the work would not be paid. Contract
or McKivor addressed the council and
practically stated that the work suited
him alright, that it was a good job and
there wasn't going to be so very much
structed by the mayor to look over the
entire work and investigate the protests
of property owners and be ready for
report at the Wednesday evening meet
ing,

Tonight the stage curtain rises for the
first performance OF the beautiful can
tata "Belshazzar," or The Fall of the

From an instructive standpoint alone,
not to mention the highly pleasing
musical features, the play is well worth
the price of admission.
Some of the most exciting scenes will
strike awe and fill with admiration the
hearts OF those who go tolisten. Every
thing is told in song, and Prof. Robinson
has given especial attention at rehearsals
to the pronunciation of words.

ing the role of King, has already estab-
lished local reputation as a soloist.
The scene where, in mighty effort of
musical composition he condemns the
wise men of the land to perish because
they fail to interpret the handwriting ON
the wall is perhaps the most striking
feature of the play. This scene is fol-
lowed by sympathetic solo from the
Queen, Mrs. Louis Lesh of Everett, in
which she pleads for the lives of the
wise men, and points out way by
which the Interpretation can be had.
Her voice is clear, musical and appeal
ing, and her pronunciation plain.
The High Priest, viii C. Hoyt, has a
bass voice without an equal ON the
Pacific coast. In his solo to "Great
Baal" he takes fiat without any effort
The Angels part, taken by Mrs. NJ. f.
Dunbar of Portland, could not have
been more fittingly chosen. Her voice
is extraordinary. As whole the play
will equal if not excel the cantata,
ESTHER" given last May, which played
to standing room both nights.
Mrs. Guy Mel. Richards is the pianist
for the cantata, and it would be hard to
find more capable performer or accom-
PIANIST in the city.

THE COURT MOUSE QUESTION

It is reported that few persons who
are opposed to the building of a new
court house are seeking to make con.
V2rlS to their point of view 10y arguing
opght to be paid In full before any fur
cher Indebtedness is contracted. With
all due Difference to these gentlemen's
views the ISLANDER desires to take
issue with them for what it believes to
be the best interests of the county. If
such a policy were to be pursued the
pubic business Of the county would
have to be carried or under the present
primitive and eXasperating conditions
for q number of years before even a be-
ginning could be made toward paying
OF the present debt, so long as the
holders Of the bonds refuse to surren-
der them until obliged to do so. There
are only seven 81 900 bonds outstand-
ing and they have four years yet to
run before the county can eXerciee its
option of redemption. The bond hold
crs have even been offered a liberal
premium to surrender them, but they
have refused to do so. If at the expira-
ton ofthe option period tax levy of two
mills year is made to create a sinking
fund for the payment Of the bonds it
will require at least three years more to
pay them off unless there is material
increase in the county's assessed valua-
ton. In the meantime the county
would have to continue taking the
very great chances of loss by fire of
records of incalculable value and would
have to continue paying rent for Off
GERS who cannot be accommodated in
the present building, erected in 1888,
when few public records had accumu-
of real estate was less than 5000, 600.
All the money required for the cree
ton of new building can be obtained
upon terms that will permit repay
luent at any time ct the option of the
county. From the proceeds of an an
nual levy of two mills-only one-fifth
of one per cent-the bonds could all be
paid in five years. and the total levy
would still be far below that of nearly
every county il the state. The public
records are fast increasing in volume
and value. Every safe is full and no
more room can be rented in the bank
vault. Stacks of records which would
he essential to the establishment of
property titles if assailed are absolute
~ without any protection from fire
and would in all probability be a total
loss if the court house should burn,
especially at night.

selected by the Seattle Times as its
principal target for abuse in this cam

the fact that privately he has a high

and really regards him as one of the
ablest representatives the state has ever
had in either branch of congress.
