MIXING BAD MEDICINE
FOR R. E. STAHORN.

Members Of the Sumpter city couu-
Gil will read the following dispatch
from North Yakima to the Spokes.
man Review with some interest:
Robert 4. StIahorn, tho new owner
Of the Yakima Water, Light and
Power company, arrived here yester-
day from Spokane to take formal
charge Of the plant. He was accom-.
panied by A. g. Smith, who will be
the general superintendent. From
all indications the city council will
give tho company considerable
trouble during the next few months
unless some concessions, other than
what have been made, are assured the
people Of this city.
At the last meeting of the city
council a committee was appointed
by Mayor Fachter, who is at the head
of the movement, to confer with the
company relative to securing cheaper
rates on ligt and water. Unless this
10 done the Mayor says the council
will revoke the ordinance passed by
the old council last fall, whereby the
franchise of the company was ex-
tended twenty five years, when tho
old franchise had already twelve
years to run.
When this information was carried
to Mr.. Strahorn, he laughed and said
the council might repeal the ordi.
nance, but that act would not affect
the agreement entered into by the
last city council, and the company
with regard to its franchise. Mr..
Strahorn says as soon as he has gone
over the situation he will make a
statement az to what be will do.

During the year just closed 5.l52
locomotives were built at the various
locomotive works In the country. az
against 1910 In the previous year.
The number includes 8 electric
locomotives. The increase over 1902
is the largest that has ever occurred
In one year, ard Ia possibly due to
the fact that H." locomotive works In
the country had such volume Of
orders placed during 1902 that they
were unable to make immediate de.
liveries, aud many Of the orders we're
held over until 1908.
