No FRAUD
WAS FOUND
Kerr JudiciaIly Cleared
of Wrecking
Charge.

A unanimous opinion of the Supreme
Court affirms the decree of Judge Gear
dismissing the bill in equity of " o.
Texeira ct al. VS.. the American Dry
Goods Association ct al. Judge Lind
say sat in place of Justice Hartwell,
and Justice Wilder wrote the opinion
of the court.
Compliments were minority share
holders In the American Dry Goods As
ISOLATION, Ltd, with which l. B. Kerr
& Co., Ltd, and L. B. Kerr were CO.
respondents.
The complaint was that Kerr & Co.
and Kerr conspired to wreck the Amer
lean Dry Goods Association, and COM
plainants prayed for an accounting and
a decree awarding them $1,000, the par
value of their shares, or what might
be found due them.
1t is found by the appellate court
that it was not correct practice IN
equity for the court below to have
dismissed bill before the respondents
had presented or rested their case. Yet
on the evidence it is found that there
was no conspiracy, Kerr and his cor
poration having acted within their
rights in acquiring a majority Of stock
in the American and closing out its
business. Therefore the decree is af-
firmed.
H E. Highton and E. c. Peters ap-
peared for compliments, and Kinney,
McCIanahan & Cooper and S. II. Der

THE SUPERIOR COURT.

The superior court, Judge Rigg
presiding. opened on Monday with a
large docket of criminal, law and
equity cases. The volume of legal
business has quintupled the last few
years. not only in the number of
cases filed for adjudication, but in
the amount and interests involved,
which is but one of the many evil
dences of the increasing magnitude
OF Yakima's business relations.
1t will not be many years, If bust
ness increases. before the superior
Judge of Yakima county will cease
his periodic travels to hold court in
adjacent counties, and will be COM
PEELED to hold his court, open at all
times. in this county in order to dis
pose of the various and many mat
ters brought before him for legal
settlement. Now the major portion
OF his time has to be spent here, and
at the present rate of increase this
county will soon afford all the legal
business one judge can hear and de-
termine

A WISE EXECUTIVE.

Governor Mead has scored another
point, proving to the people that he
is the actual guardian of the tax
payers interests.
An attempt was made to apply a
portion of the states permanent
school fund to the purchase Of Port
Iownsend's bonds, when that city
had exceeded the constitutional limit
of Indebtedness. That aspiring burg
would have received the money, and
the common school fund would have
been left holding the sack. The deal
had been carefully engineered, but
the governor found out what the sly
old coon was after. stepped in with
a ..ttle Injunction. with the result
that the money is still in the treas
ury and will remain there until le-
gally drawn out to pay for solvent
securities. Governor Mead is fast
proving to the people that his pre-
election promises were not pie
crust" but pledges to be kept and
observed for the good Of the whole
state, and not party or faction.

THE COMING SEASON.

Astronomers tell us that we are to
have a much warmer summer than
common; that the volcanic dust has
settled, and that now there is nothing
to prevent the suns rays from reach
ing the earth with full force and eff
feet. and unimpeded in vigor give
the earth an oldtime summer scorch-
ing. Whether or not these scientists
know whereof they affirm is a ques-
ton; but 1t is certain that the coming
season promises to be "scorcher"

go-ahead city. A $4,000 school
house being erected, a $4,000 court

THE ORATORICAL CONTEST.

Not one of the large audience that
crowded the Presbyterian church last
Wednesday evening but applauded
the decision of the committee when
Judge Preble announced they were
unanimous in commencing every
contestant. All also conceded with
the committee in awarding the palm
of victory to Miss Van Buskirk. To
be selected from among so many
contestants of ability. the decision
cannot fail to be very gratifying to
that young lady and her parents.
The high school teachers are to be
especially congratulated that all of
their pupils acquitted themselves so
excellently, and the board of direc-
tors are not above receiving a mer-
tied word Of praise for the exhibition
made by the school as a whole.
1t all went to prove that our
schools are on the up grade; and now
it remains to keep them improving
until the top is reached. There is
always plenty Of room at the top,
and Yakima boys and girls are very
independent and need plenty Of ell
bow room, just such as they will find
at the top Of the ladder of education.

Of business before that body and with
the end OF congress only month of,
it will be impossible to pass bill of
SO much Importance as the Gamble bill
In this congress.
This measure, known in Washington
as the Martin Gamble bill, applies only
to South Dakota. It extends the pro-
visions Of the Kincaid law, which APP
plies only to certain lands in Nebraska,
to the, semi-arid region Of South Da-
kota west Of the Missouri river. It's
principal provision is that permitting
entries, under the homestead law, of $40
acres Of land for each settler, instead Of
160 acres, the limit under the general
homestead. law. Any person eligible to
take a homestead under the general
law may take up one under the pro-
posed law.
The pending measure is limited in its
operation to that section Of South Da-
kota generally regarded as semi-arid,
and is not to include land withdrawn
for irrigation purposes, or which may
hereafter be withdrawn under the irri-
cation act, nor does it apply to forest
reserves. The Communication law will not
apply to these lands, and settlers will
have to reside five years on their
claims.
Want to Attract Settlers.
Members of the South Dakota dele.
cation claim that the extension of this
| law to the land in question is the onl.
way to get settlers into that part OF
the state. They assert that the Kincaid
law has been the means Of bringing
tsettlers into the almost waste regions
of Nebraska, and like benefcent re
suits will follow the extension of the
law to their state.
! Opponents of the measure say the
Kincaid law has not been in operation
long enough to demonstrate it's sue
cess. This is the ground taken by Sec
rotary Hitchcock in his adverse report
on the South Dakota bill. Others op

pose the bill because, they say, under
the Kincaid law big cattlemen in Ne
braska have caused their cowboys to.
make entries for section each, and
the land will eventually fall into the
hands Of the. cattlemen, the settlers to
be frozen out.
The National Irrigation association
is also opposing the bill on the ground
that it will prevent the extension Of
benefit of which the reclamation act
was passed.
After ordering favorable report on
the Martin bill, applying to lands in
South Dakota only, the house commit
tee on public lands on Wednesday or
dered favorable report on similar
bill introduced by Representative
Brooks Of Colorado, applying the law
to the eastern portion of that state.

WAR ON 64O.ACRE
HOMESTEAD Bill
Martin Gamble Measure for South
Dakota Likely to Die in
Senate.
BY w. w. yermane.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Even tho the
Martin 640-acre homestead bill should
pass the house next Monday, or later
in the session, it is unlikely it will get
thru the senate before adjournment. At
Wednesday session of the senate COM
mittee on public lands a vote on mo-
tion to report a similar bill, introduced
by Senator Gamble, was lost on tie
vote, Senator Gibson of Montana an
nouncing that he had Senator Nelson IS
proxy to vote in the negative. Yester-
day, however, Gibson announced that
Senator Nelson had withdrawn his op-
position to the bill being reported to
the senate, and therefore the proxy
vote for him should not count. Senator
Nelson did not announce to Senator
Gibson his position on the bill itself,
however, and may oppose it if it comes
up for consideration in the senate.
Senator Gamble will therefore report
the bill to the senate. Senator Gibson
will make q minority report, which will
be signed by several senators, and will
| undoubtedly oppose the bill strongly
should Gamble endeavor to bring it up

TWO UNIONS SEEK
INCREASED PAY
STRUCTURAL IRoNWoRKERs AND
HoD CARRIERS CLAIMS.
Some Apprehension in Certain Quarters
Lest the Demands, If Refused by En-
ployers, Should Involve Building
Trades Organizations in Serious
Trouble - Prosperous Season in Pros
pect.

Only two of the building trades
unions will ask for increased pay the
coming season. These unions are the
structural iron workers and the hod car
riers ono. lily. The former want an
increase Of 10 cents an hour, while the
hodcarriers are after a raise of from
thirty-fve cents to fifty cents an hour.
Some apprehension is shown in certain
quarters lest the demands of the two
unions, if insisted upon and refused by
employers, should involve the building
trades organizations in serious trouble.
All seem agreed that the raise asked
for by the structural iron men is justlti-
able, for the reason that their work is
Of an extra hazardous nature, and the
further fact that the men employed at
this line Of work are compelled to go
from place to place, wherever employ
uent is to be had, and are never able to
settle down as can workmen in other
lines.
While. all would be pleased to
see the hodcarrlers. get the IN
crease they are seeking, not a few
ing laborers should receive some
money. They are working under
scale of 20 cents an hour, handed down
by a board of arbitration last year. The
work of both unions is similar, and that
there is such wide difference in the
pay causes some wonder.
The structural iron men have received
assurances from many, of the employers
that the increase will be Forthcoming
but this is not the case with the hod
carriers. 1t is thought the Building
Trades council will take a hand in thu
matter later on. and the wishes OF tina
body will in all probability be respected
AS q rule, all the building trade unions
have made their scales the same as las
wear, and are quite anxious to avolt
friction between the workmen and tn
employers, particularly at the outset o
what otherwise promises to be a pros
porous season in the building line.
