CONGRESSMAN JONES
OFF TO PITTseUR6, PA.
VIII Join River and Harbor Commit
tee on Tour Of Inspection Of
the Ohio River.

Congressman w. L. Jones left here
yesterday morning for the east. He
will go direct to Pittsburg, Pa, and
there join the members of the river
and harbor committee of congress, OF
which he is also member. They will
sail down the Ohio river on a tour
Of inspection, and endeavor to decide
upon the amount of expenditure that
is necessary for congress to appro-
pirate in order to improve the great
waterway, which is so important to
the commercial interests of the GEN.
trail states. This trip will occupy
about a months time.
On the first OF June the committee
appointed by congress to visit the va
rious government projects, when
come within the provisions of the
reclamation act, in order to deter
mine the feasible projects, and report
the same to congress, will depart
from Kansas City. 1t is the purpose
of this committee to visit all Of the
states in which extensive irrigation
Is carried on, and especially where
the government has under advise
ment irrigation schemes for the con-
struction of reservoirs and canals
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones were invited by
this committee to accompany them
on this trip, which will bring them
to North Yakima before it is ended
The party will be entertained by the
Commercial club upon their arrival
here.
The fact that Congressman Jones
is to accompany this committee on a
trip of such Importance may prove
decidedly advantageous to the Tie
tan basin project, which the Yakima
people have been exerting themselves
to induce the government to under
take. Suggestions from this commit
tee will no doubt have a tendency to
influence. il not to actually deter
mine, the future action Of the gov
eminent with relation to these great
projects. And Congressman Jones
may be depended upon to look after
the interests of this section in this
respect, as he has always done in all
others.

Company e will Leave at that Time
for American Lakc-T0 Com.
pete for HOnOrs.

Adjutant General Drain has noti-
fed Lieut.. John M. Curry. acting cap
tain Of Company e. the local mill
tary company, that the annual ma
tional guard encampment would be
held this year at American Lake be-
tween the dates of July 18th and
18th, inclusive.
Instructions received this year will
not permit all the members of the
company to attend. Those who will
be eligible are the active officers, the
non-commissioned staff, sergeants,
expert riflemen, sharpshooters and
four additional men from each COM
pany who will qualify between the
first of May and July LIST, making not
less than 20 per cent as marksmen
This latter qualification will exclude
very few fakima boys, as they are
all excellent marksmen.
The encampment this year will be
for the instruction in principles or
rife practice. From those participant
ing a team will be picked to represent
Washington at the national shoot at
Seagirt, N. j., this summer. The
militia of Oregon and the teams OF
the United States Army have issued
a challenge to the Washington team
to shoot at American Lake.
The members of Company r are
now practicing hard and faithfully
in order to get in good shape by next
July, and expect to carry of the
nonors with the same ease they did
last year.

NAN PATTERSON WAS HERE.
Notorious Adventures Played Races
in North Yakima in 1908.

BY some Of those who attended the
races at the fair grounds here two
years ago it will be remembered that
among those who played their fav-
orite horses, none appeared more
conspicuously than a very fiashily
dressed and comely young woman.
bedecked with diamonds. who wag-
cred her money with lavishness so
prominent as to attract the casual
observers attention.
The woman was none other than
Nan Patterson, now on trial in New
York for the murder of Caeser
Young, the bookmaker. Nan Patter-
son and Caeser Young were lovers
then, and while in Seattle decided to
come over here for a few days and
watch the racing at the fair. In less
than two years from that week Gaze
ser Young was killed while riding in
a carriage with Nan Patterson in New
York City. She was charged with the
commission of the crime, and is now
being tried for it for the second time
In the first trial the jury disagreed
The indications are that there will
be either another disagreement or an
acquittal.
Nan Patterson is--or was--an ac-
tress. The worldwide notoriety she
gained following the tragic death Of
Young is sufficient to insure her sue
cess as drawing card in any COM
pany in which she chooses to star II
she is acquitted of the charge against
her.

July on their way to Portland. They
want to stop off here at least one day
and get view of the valley and an
idea of what irrigation has done for
it.
Mr.. Wiggen states that he has
been interested in this section of the
western country through DR.. Gordon,
who has been studying medicine for
nication was turned over to the
governing board Of the Commercial
club, and 1t is probable that the nee
essary arrangements will be made to
grant the desire of the New York
doctors.

jim BURROWS GETS DECISION
OVER JACK CuRley
The Smoker Held at the Arm0ry Last
Thursday Night was the Best
Ever Seen Here.

In one of the fairest, cleanest and
prettiest boxing contests ever held
under the auspices of the North Yak
ina Athletic Association, Jim Bur-
rows of Fernie, B. c., won the decis-
ion in twenty-round boxing contest
over Jack Curley, who had formerly
bested Burrows in this city in a fif-
teen round match.
The opinions Of those who saw the
contest conflict in regard to the
decision Of the referee; both men
were on their feet at the end of the
last round and were fighting hard,
although Burrows apparently had the
better of the fight in the closing
rounds; yet, up to that time, Curley
had done all the leading. and II any
thing had the better of the other.
Burrows took the count to six in a
couple Of knockdowns in the fourth
and seventh rounds, but to all ap-
pearances he was just "stalling."
As the fight progressed he grew In
strength, while Curley, who is said
not to have been in his usual good
form, physically, showed the effects
Of the fierce milling. A new man in
the game here. named Walsh, from
Chicago. acted as referee. ne is I'M
questionably familiar with the game,
and gave entire satisfaction to the
seatholders in the management Of
the contest, although, az stated. there
was difference Of opinion regard
ing the merits OF the decision.
When asked why he gave the fight
to Burrows, he said: Burrows did
all the fighting. He was the ag-
gressor from the first, and he clearly
had the best Of the 60. The knock
downs scored by Curley early in the
fight could have nothing to do with
the decision. think the general
opinion Of those VINO saw the con-
test will uphold my view Of the mat
ter"
Burrows, very much pleased over
the result Of the fight, left here on
the early morning train Friday for his
home in Fernie, B. G. Curley Is still
in the city. He thinks he was given
the worst Of it by the referee.
The main event OF the evening was
preceded by three good preiiminar-
ies between Kid Spencer and Jimmie
wilder. Levi Case and I'D Blackie
and Bud Martin and George Brown.
The latter was veritable whirlwind,
and occasioned great deal Of amuse-
ment for the spectators. The general
Impression among the fans u that
brown has Martin scared: the latter
showed an unmistaksble desire to
<eep out Of reach Of Georges stir
punches. The attendance was good.

No Danger from Diphtheria.

Rev. Mr.. Herbert, the new Congre-
gational minister of the Natchez
church, was visited by the county
health officer last week, and himself
and family closely examined to as
certain whether or not they would
show symptoms of diphtheria. The
report came here that the family had
been exposed just before leaving Spo-
kane. DR.. Tetreau concluded that
nothing serious was likely to result,
but advised the family to remain Sc
cluded for few days in order to be
on the safe side.

MAY DISPOSE OF PAINT
INSIDE CAPITOL DOME

Elliott Woods. superintendent of the
Capitol building is trying an expert
ment in regard to the color OF the low
er part of the wall inside OF the dome.
Thick paint has adorned the walls OF
the dome for many wears. and the
scheme now Is to remove the paint anc
let the Virginia sandstone, of which
the wall is built. be exposed. One OF
the large pictures that hung on the
wall Of the dome has been removed.
and placed on the floor of the Rotunda.
while this experiment is being tried.
The part OF the sandstone that has
been exposed shows age, in that 1t is a
little yellow in color.
The expense of this work is the Drin-
cipal thing being considered. Many gal
Ions of pains remover will be required
and much labor Will have to be ex-
pended to accomplish the task.

This years season at the bathing
beach will begin on the first Saturday
Of next month, June 3. Ordinarily the
beach is open for 100 days during the
summer, but this year, owing TO lack of
funds. ten days have been clipped off
this time, and the saving thus made in
current expenses will be applied 10
plans Superintendent Stephens has for
improving the beach.
Another change in the operation of
the bathing beach this year is also due
to the lack ef means The floating
baths VIII not. be in use. These have
been abandoned, partly because they
were damaged during the winter by ice
and partly because of their faulty con-
struction.
Three life guards will be stationed on
the beach as usual and every facility
possible made for the accommodation
of all who come. The beach will again

READJUSTiNG SALARIES
OF THE P0STMASTERS

The twenty-second annual readjust-
ment of postmasters' salaries began
yesterday. and for the next thirty days or
more the receipts of all the Presidential
postoffiees in the country will be gone
over, and increases or decreases in
salaries directed. as the case may be.
While most of the Offices reported to-
day showed increases. there were a
number which showed decreases. On
the whole, It is not thought that the
receipts throughout the country will
show as large Increase as last year.
One thing which will play a prominen
part in this readjustn1ent is the policy
OF the department to punish postmasters
who pad their receipts for the purpose
o. securing an increase IN salary.
