Here to Stay This Time.

Last February. Harry March OF Red
wood Falls, Mimi. arrived in the city
and after remaining here few weeks
he returned to his eastern home very
much disguised with Yakima and the
west in general. He remained in Mime
sofa only days when he decided that tho
west and particularly Yakima was the
place for him. Saturday morning he
arrived in Yakima and says he is here
to stay. In an interview he said: "When
I was out here before I did not appre-
ciate the great advantages and bene-
fits that the west has in store. On my
return to Minnesota, I spent days
there and during that time I couldn't
wait for the train. 1t was late and it
looked for a time as if it were never com
ing and in my eagerness to get back I
was about to begin manufacturing a
special locomotive to take me back
here. I am here now and l am here to
stay"

Granger-Mabton Game.

One of the best games ever wit
messed in the lower county was that
at Mabton Sunday, when the Granger
boys won a victory and made the
score Z to A. The grounds were a
little dusty, and the wind made it
disagreeable for both players and
spectators during the latter part of
the game. The attendance was good; ;
the grand stand was filled and the
ropes were lined with rooters from
both Nabton and Granger.
Not score was made on either
side until the fifth inning, when
Granger ran in one; and the score
stood to l in favor of Mabton at
the beginning of the eighth; after
this the playing was not SO good, and
finally resulted in the game being
won by Granger with score of Z
to 4.
George Whiteleather was UNI
pire; he is an old ball player him
self. and his decisions were entirely
fair and satisfactory. The game was
as harmonious as spirited, and the Of
ficials score was as follows:

WASHINGTON TO THE FORE
"Thc State in the Midst of Unprcce-
dentcd Prosperity"

H. w. Rowland, manager of the
Seattle branch of the American Type
Founders company, was in the city
over Sunday. Mr.. Rowland travels
extensively over the northwest and
is keen observer. He has great
faith in the coming greatness of the
northwest and of course is naturally
enthusiastic over the supremacy Of
his home city. In speaking of con-
dtions throughout the state Mr..
Rowland said:
"The best index we have of the re-
markable development Of the state
of Washington is the rapid increase
in our own line of business. The
newspapers of the state are install
ling more modern time-saving
equipment than ever before and the
principal towns in western Washing
ton have more financially strong men
in the newspaper business than any
similar section of the east or middl .
west. The newspapers usually feel
the pulse of business changes more
quickly than any other line and it is
very gratifying to say that this will
be the banner year from sales
standpoint for my company here
and there is the further satisfying
fact that credit losses will be smaller.
The Yakima sections is one of the
keystones to our prospects for con-
tinued business success. The rapid
growth of the towns and suburban
sections and the government appre-
citation of the immense possibilities of
increased irrigation projects surely
means almost as large a population
here in ten years as there is now con-
tanned in the entire state. And it is
not too much to say that there was
as much joy in Seattle over the prom
Use of government irrigation in your
territory as you have experienced To-
cally."

DEMAND REDUCTION OF DRAFT.
Brokers Balk at Paying Accrued In
terest on Sewer Bonds.

City Treasurer Donovan has re-
ceived telegram from Mcdonald &
Mccoy, the brokers who purchased
the sewer bonds, stating that they
will not accept the draft that was
made on them unless the accrued in
terest, amounting to SOS has been
deducted. The city attorney and city
threasurer had both agreed that it
would be unfair for the brokers to
have the use of the $4,000 over a
month before the city could get it,
and also be entitled to interest on it
for that time.
The bonds were dated March l.,
and the interest began to accrue from
that date. The draft was not made
on the brokers until late last week,
and when it was it included the $20S
accrued interest, which the city be-

The Tigers threw away jhe game
with Prosser Sunday by rank errors
and fearful lack of practice. The
errors that lost the game were nearly
all made in the first inning. They
we're due directly to a lack of prac-
tice, which was shown most notice
ably in the poor catching of Gaines
and the careless base running of
nearly all the Tiger players. True,
a strong wind was blowing a storm
of dust into the catchers face, but

MISCELL ANE0US WORK OF COUNCIL
Many Minor Matters Get Quick Re-

Meeting of Councilmen.

The work of the council Monday
night was rapid and covered consid-
cradle ground Besides several large
matters, a number of minor meas
ures were considered and passed

Linbarger argued that the present or
dinance covered the matter, provid-
ing that every show that came to the
city should pay IS for every enter
tainment they gave in every tent.
This was also the conclusion of the
council
The Bartholet hotel saloon license
was renewed. Pat Mullins also ap-
piled for a license for a saloon at
No. 6 North First street. According
to the city ordinance the application
required a majority of the sigma
lures, which would be twelve. Only
eleven signatures were upon the ap-
plication. but the council rushed the
license through, nevertheless, with
Councilman Marsh consistently OPP
posing.
The city attorney was instructed
to draw up an ordinance prohibiting
employment by the city of any Off
cial who did not require his children
to attend public school in accordance
with the compulsory education law.
This action was taken upon the sug-
gestion of Mayor Reed in a letter to
the council.
Councilman Linbarger asked the
city attorney to draw up resolutions
to supply the police department with
helmets and cloaks or regalia, and
that they wear uniforms that can be
seen sixty feet away. When this par
aphenalia is given out it is to be
charged to the policemen, and the
money refunded when they leave the
force. The measure passed.
Councilman Thompson's resolu-
luton to have electric light and all
other wires and distractions in the
alleys moved from close up to- the
buildings to the center of the alleys
was also passed. The object was to
give firemen a better chance, and also
to enable Mr.. Mullins to place fire es-
capes upon his four-story building.
