SHEEP HERDER SHOT
THROUGH THE HEART
Albert e. McKivor Victim OF a Winchester
Rifle-WhiIe In a Cowychee Camp Grasps
Gun by Muzzle-Load Discharges and
Kills Him Instantly.

Albert McKivor, the l6-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. William McKivor of this
city, accidentally shot himself at 10 a.
m. last Saturday while herding sheep
in the camp of George Harris on the
Upper Cowychee.
The young man had been employed in
the camp for several weeks and was on
his way with the band and the other
herders to the forest reserve. In the
camp was Winchester repeating rifle
carried along to kill coyotes. The boy
suggested to another herder that they
go into the woods and hunt squirrels.
They started out and afterwards it was
discovered that there was but one car
fridge left. Instead of shooting this
cartridge away at squirrel they con-
cluded to reserve it for use on coyote.
After while the gun was stood up
against a log and the two sat down to
rest. When they were ready to start
away young McKivor walked over to the
rear of the log from the side where the
gun leaned against it. He reached over
and grasped the gun by the muzzle to
pull it toward him. In doing so the
hammer caught on a projection on the
log. 1t was thrown back and when re-
leased discharged the cartridge. The
ball crashed through the young mans
breast and penetrated his heart. He
sank back and expired Immediately.
The herder, as soon as he saw what
had happened, ran to the camp not far
away and gave the alarm. The whole
party was shocked and it was some time
before they could realize what had taken
place. A rig was later secured and the
remains were brought to this place at
6 p. m. and taken to his late home on
South First street. The young mans
parents were greatly shocked over the
sad affair, for he was considered TO be
an ambitious young man working hard
to get start in the world. The funeral
was held at 2 p. m. Monday. Services
were conducted by Rev. II. NJ. Bartlett
in the Episcopal church and interment
took place at Tahoma.

SELL KENNEWICK LAND
ON JUNE TWENTIETH
Circular May Be Looked For Soon Giving De
tails Of Sale Discourage SPECTATORS.

tdHS Vi odIc DlSSouIdgc opeSuidtOTS'
1t seems to be definitely settled that
the land under the Kennewick canal
will be put on the market on June 20.
This information was given out by the
company last week to individuals on the
inside and a circular announcing the
date and time, with full particulars, will
be sent out in short time, possibly
this week.
1t is given out that the plan of dis
posing of the land will discourage those
who want to purchase for speculation.
1t is not exactly known what the price
per acre will be but it will range from
$25 to $45, with the provision that but
40 acres will be sold to one person and
that $40 per acre bonus will be allowed
all those who improve the land in a
stipulated period. That is to say, if a
party buys 40 acres at $50 per acre he
will be allowed $40 per acre or 500 for
the improvements. This is done solely
to encourage the buyer to develop the
land at once and discourage the practice
of buying land for speculative purposes.

LUMBER MILL AND BOX
FACTORY FOR YAKIMA
Cascade Lumber Company to Operate Exten-
sively-Plans Outlined Capital Stock, $780,
00OWill Employ 15O Meu-The Site.


O0O-Will Employ $50 Meu-The Site.
! North Yakima is to have a combina-
ton mill that will employ IN the neigh
borhood of $50 men. 1t will be known
as the Cascade Lumber company, and
will manufacture lumber, shingles and
fruit box material.
The plant will be located on the
Springvale dairy farm, which was pur-
chased by the company for $l4, 900, and
it is estimated that $4,000 will be re-
quired to erect the buildings, fit it with
all necessary machinery and put it on a
running basis. The mill will be situate
at the foot of the Water and Light COM
panys waste ditch, from which the
power will be derived. The timber to
be used will be foated down the Yakima
river from the big body of timber the
company owns at the headwaters. In
this it is said the company has 100000
invested, and will have enough to keep
the mill in operation a number of years
to come. When the logs are brought
down the river they will be hoated into
a big canal and pool built to hold them,
and there held until ready for use.
The promoters OF this scheme are
Fred Pennington OF saltwater, Mimi,
II. p. Svendsen of Hudson, Mimi, f. X.
Hughey of Bellevue, Ia, and George
Rankin OF this place. Besides these
men there are number of lumber men
OF Minnesota and Wisconsin interested.
Plans for the mill are now being pre-
pared by w. A. Wilkinson OF Mime
apolis. There will be two band saws
with capacity of 100000 feet per day.
Work on the plant will be started within
the next two weeks, and will be pushed
to completion as rapidly as possible
The machinery has all been ordered, and
will arrive here in short time. Men
will be put to work at once in the woods
at cutting timber, and it is expected to
have 5000 600 feet down here ready for
the saws when the mill starts November
|, next.
