J. \. Piland was in the city Saturday
last from his Parker Bottom ranch. Mr..
Piland says he, together with many OF
his neighbors, will lose their cherry crop,
owing to the completion of the Sim
zoe bridge, which was washed out dur
ing the recent high water. The COM
missioners believe. however, that the
structure will be in place in time so that
the growers can move their early peach
crop across 10 the railway station. Ev-

H0L 0CAUST AT OLD TOWN
WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH
An Overturned Lamp Causes Horrible
Catastrophe to Family OF New
corners on Sunday Evening.

Last Sunday evening. at about $50
o'clock. William H. Maxwell left hi,
wife and young baby in their home at
Yakima City to 90 closely neighbour
destination before he heard piercing
screams from his house. and hurriedlv
returning found his wife's garments a
mass of flames. caused by the overtuu-
ing of lighted lamp which she had
placed too near the edge OF table. Be
fore any assistance could be RENDERED
the unfortunate woman was so horri-
bly, burned that in spite of immediate
medical attention, she died in agony at
l O'Clock Monday morning.
The dwelling an old wooden struc-
turc. burned like finder, and it was with
great personal danger that the IL
months old infant. in an adjoining
room from where the fire started. was
rescued from the burning building The
feat was accomplished. however. and
the infant removed without injury.
The flames were plainly seen from
this place by a number of people, but
were attributed TO burning brush. so no
attention was paid to it. Indeed. moth
ing could have been accomplished if the
fire department had gone down. for the
dwelling was burned before it could
have reached the scene.
Mrs. Willie Maxwell the victim of
the conflagration, was the wife of Viii
liam II. Maxwell, who came here with
his family from Seattle about a month
ago. She was but % years of age. and
only had the one small babe. which so
narrowly escaped the terrible fate of
its mother.
The house. which was owned bv Geo.
GervaiS of Yakima City. was entirely
consumed. together with all its con-
tents. Mr.. Maxwell not even saving a
coat from the flames.
The remains of the deceased were
brought to this city Monday morning
prepared for shipment to Seattle for
interment, where the mother and four
brothers of the unfortunate woman re.

Water Enough For All.

That the water meter system is more
costly than the fiat rate system is Il
fallacy which is easily exploded, says
the Spokane Chronicle That the meter
system may prove both cheaper and far
more satisfactory for the householder
who has a lawn to sprinkle than the
plan now in use, has been proved by
experience Under the fiat rate svs-
TEN the owner pays a fixed amount, pro-
portionate to the size of his lawn,
whether he uses the water or not, and
tnen he is restricted to its use for a
certain period in each day. Under the
meter system there should be a fixed
minimum charge. No stingy lawn own
er would be tempted to refuse to use
the water. as in any case he would be
charged with the fixed minimum amount.
On the other hand the careful house
holder could sprinkle his lawn as best
suited his convenience, at any nour of
the day or night; and the checking OF
useless waste in other parts of the city
would enable even the people of the
First ward TO have plenty of water to
use on their lawns at any time of the
day.
