''The play was the old romantic one
of Love and Marriage, with Lorena
Tolson and William F. Conlon in the
leading roles. The scenes of the
courtship were under the eyes of the
blind public. The decision followed
the last performance of "A Country
Gr' and the wedding was sandwiched
between tie last two performances Of

"This latter act was staged and
managed by Roy l.. Abbott. business

MCKEE BRIDGE FIRED
new YEAR CONFEDERATION
West Side. Approach Burned, and
About $500 Damage
Sustained.

A fire alarm at ] 80 o'clock last Fri
day morning called out the firemen and
startled the New Years jewellers in the
city. A horseman rode rapidly to the
city hall and notified the department
that the Mckee bridge was on fire, and
in short time the steamer and chemi-
cal were on the spot, making the 2h-
mile run in the darkness in less than
twenty minutes. 1t was ascertained
that the approach on the west side OF
the bridge had been ignited from q fire
LETT by some careless boys, who had been
fishing there the previous day. 1t only
required a short time to put out the
olazc, with the combined efforts of the
two engines, and the main structure was
saved from any damage whatever, only
about 20 feet of planking on the bridge
proper being burned The approach,
however. covering the same distance,
was rendered unsafe, some of the large
timbers being burned almost through.
Chairman Lince of the county commits
sioners, at once telegraphed to the Puget
Sound Bridge Co., at Tacoma, and Fore
man Wilson came over on Saturday,
starting in Immediately to put in tenn
porary repairs so as not to retard the
immense traffic of the Mckee section.
1t is expected that teams will be en-
abled to resume crossing the bridge to-
day.
The loss to the county is estimated to
be about $500 and but for the prompt &C.
ton of the fire department all the wood
work of the bridge would have been de-
stroyed. The large new stringers neces-
sary for the approach to the bridge will
have to be shipped in from the Sound
before the structure can be permanently
restored

A Land Office Business.

The quarter just closed in the U. S.
land Office at North Yakima shows a
greater business done than was ever
done before in the same length of time.
Over 100000 acres of land in the district
have passed out of the hands of the
general government during that period
The tendency seemed to be to get hold
of the land whether it had any perma-
nent value or not and hold it for devel-
opment. A few years ago the greater
part of eastern Washington was consid-
cred a desert, but now thousands of
acres of these lands are producing good
crops each year. There were 30 timber
claims, IA cash sales, 90 desert land en-.
tries, l04 homestead entries, l3 final
proofs. seven state selections and one
railway selection, which amounted to
l30,l4S acres. The fees oR the same
amounted to $2l, l9l.S3.

YAkMA'S FAvoRITE SON
FOR INTERNATIONAL HONORS
WalIa WaIla Politicians Regard State
Senator A. J. Splawn as
Formidable Candidate.

The Walla Walla Union journal has
the following anent the candidacy of
Senator A. J. Splawn for the governor
ship of the state of Washington:
Several local democratic politicians
were quizzing State Senator A. J.
Splawn, of North Yakima, while he was
here Monday attending the stockmen's
meeting, the burden of the queries being
Senator Splawn's rumored candidacy for
the governorship of Washington on the
democratic ticket. As nearly as can he
learned, little that was tangible was OBJ
tanned from Senator Splawn beyond an
admission that he might yet crop up as
a candidate.
Local politicians of both parties con-
cede that Splawn is a probable candi
date for gubernatorial honors, and say
that he will get strong east side sup
port for the nomination. Senator
Turner's refusal to accept the position
and certain amount of discomfort with
the candidacy of Senator Tolman, of
Spokane. should that 'eventuate,' are
contributing elements. Splawn is very
popular and is conceded to be strong
man.
In addition he is said to be agreeable
to all sides of Yakima county democ-
racy. which at present is quite notori-
ously split into factions. In North Yak
ina is has just become known that Mr..
Splawn has been considering the guber-
material candidacy for some time and
that he has received number of re-
quests from state democrats to come
out with promises of assistance should
he not decline.
Senator Splawn's adherents here ar
que that he is pioneer, that he is quite
generally liked, that he is a clean cam
paigner, but a hard fighter, that he lives
near the center of the state, that he
would make a good compromise candi-
date, that his record is excellent and
that he has not committed himself on
the wrong side of anything. but has led
conservative. careful career in poll
tics so far and above all that he is an
east side man.
