ONLY TWO SIDES.

Senator Longs explanation of his
position on the railroad rate question
don't seem to explain. Does he believe
that the Interstate Commerce commits
sion after full and fair hearing should
have the right to fix the rate and such
new rates to, at once become effective,
with the right of appeal given to the
railroad company, or does he believe
that no matter what this special COM
mission thinks about it, no rate shall
become effective until after it has been
passed on by the supreme court pro-
cess that at present takes about ten
years. There are two sides to the Ques-
ton. one that of the president, the
people and the square deal; the other,
that of some of the railroads who do
not seem anxious to do the right thing,
or like Senator Long and Congressman
Calderhead, don't know where to place
selves&Manhattan Republic.

COURT HOUSE BONDS
TO Be VOTED UPON
County Commissioners Set Tuesday,
December IL as Election Day
100000 Bond issue.

The Yakima county commissioners
met in adjourned session at the court
house Monday to fix date as to when
the court house bond election should
be held. 1t was decided to make cleo
ton day on Tuesday, December ~,
1905. The registration books for
this election will close on December
End, just ten days before the polls
open.
The contest in question is to de-
eide whether or not the people desire
a new court house and county Jail.
If SO, they must go to the polls and
vote to sustain the county commits
sioners. who have placed the matter
in the hands of the taxpayers. The
bona issue will be for $4,000. 1t
will take three-f.lhs vote to carry.
The contract has been previously
let to w. w. FELTON,, conditionally,
with the understanding that the bond
issue must carry before work Is COM
menced.
The courthouse question Is one
which has been agitated here for the
past year or two. 1t is something
the county is very badly in need of,
and if the voters will view the mat
ter from an unselfish standpoint, the
bonds vii surely be voted for.

Orpheum Theater.

The Lee Morris Theater Company,
at the above theater. is continuing
the successful work of the opening
week. The military drama, 1.-THE
Spy of Gettysburg is well staged,
and the different characters are all
well carried out. The scenes are laid
during the civil war, in '61. Mr..
Charles Dey as the Spy" is very
good, and plays his part with ease
and grace. Mr.. Harry Cleveland, as
Solomon" is the hit of the show,
and his darby dialect is fine. Mr..
J. G. Glenny as Blackburn" the
Southerner, who tries to compel Miss
Meredith to marry him, is splendid
in the part, and is certainly a first
class heavy man. Lee Morris and
Lucille Sutherland keep the audience
in excellent spirits while they are on
the stage. Miss Corinne Walton, the
leading lady of this clever company,
added many new laurels to her pop
ularity. She is decidedly clever, as
well as handsome woman, and her
part in the play, whatever it is, is
always looked forward to with de-
light. Miss Florence Plummer as
Mrs. Mulvey, was very good. The IL
Illustrated song and specialties be-
tween acts were excellent, especially
the solo by Chas Lorenz. On Friday

Much fun has been poked at our
sister town of Ellensburg for her ap-
parent lack of "get there" qualifi-
cations, but that place has at least
one laurel to her credit. Ellensburg
owners of water rights have agreed
to a man TO adjust their water rights
as requested by the government and
assist in every way possible the de-
partment in following out it's plans.
Here there seems to be disposition
of small minority to hold the mat
ter up by useless parleying and de-
handing stipulations which are I'M
fair, and which the government is I'M
likely to give. Ellensburg on this
occasion distances us both in mag
nanimity and far-sightedness.

LOST SIXTY DOLLARS.
II. l.. Tucker is i'm Hard Luck-It
Might Have iSeen Stolen.

II. l.. Tucker, the well known liv-
eryman, had the misfortune to lose
about $50 in cash last Tuesday, and
up to the present time he has not
been able to get line on it. He
does not know whether the money
was lost. or whether it was stolen
from him.
Mr. Tucker wrapped up some gold
in couple of bank notes, and placed
1t in his pocket, thinking no more
about it until he reached home some
time afterwards. Then to his sur.
prise and sorrow, he learned that the
money was missing. He thought at
first that it might have dropped out
of his pocket as he leaned back in a
chair in his office, but upon search
ing this place the money could not be
found. The sheriff is now working
on the case.
