CAR DOUGLASS ULTINATUM
SECRET OF STATE DOUGLASS TALKS ABOUT his MEM
AND LAYS DOWN THE LAW FOR JUDGES OF SUPREME
COURT
BY joseph CONNORS

Who is this man Douglas? Where
did he get his right to call the honor
able members Of one Of the best leg
islatures ever assembled, his IL en- A
sample of his makeup was shown yes
terday while he and one Of the rene
grades of the democratic party Smith
of Ormsby were at dinner. He was
toll that the members of the supreme
court would be allowed to address
the committee of the whole on the
library question. He said" those fell
lows will get up and tell lot of
C D. lies.
Nice language that rom a man
who occupies the position of Secre-
tary of the State of Nevada, especial
ly in regard to the members of lhe
highest court of the state. This too
in a public place where everyone
could hear.
In the campaign just closed the
secretary of state tried to destroy
the efficiency of the constitutional
amendment relative to the taxing of
patented lands.
He failed to certify to the county
clerks of several counties including
Elko He was notified twice by the
clerk of Elko county and was threat
ened with prosecution by R. E. Skaggs
speaker of the present assembly and
finally complied with his duty about
Eve weeks after he should have per
formed such action. In failing tc 60
thi: he was guilty of feloril and
this he could have been prosecuted
and can still be under the law.
He told what he would do two years
hence the other day. If he continues
in office for the balance Of his term
he will have cause for congratuia-
ton. but as to that he will be doing
as Secretary Of State two years hence,
that is too rich. Poor deluded mar.
He will be, if possible, more Of
dead one" then than now. Perhaps
he will declare himself dictator Of the
. state and ask to be crowned.
He is not the only one who has

hold it, So said the would De Gar
Douglass the man who has at all
times claimed TO own the capitol
building. He was speaking of the
members of the legislature.
His Men, not content with having
a monopoly on the different boards
Of the state and debating the prin-
ciples of the party he now calls a
r.aloljty of the legislators of :Isva ia
his men,"
He was talking to Judge Norc~oss

Nevada. Judge Norcross is a repubN.
can but has shown no party fee'i1g
in the matter of the library.
He asked that the judges be Civ
en- the privilege of handling the law
department of the library as is The
practice of the majority of the states.
This man Douglas claimed that the
judges were attacking a woman and
trying to deprive the present librarian
of her position.
They had not asked that the library
be interfered with except the law
depar ment. 1t has been freely cnarg
ed that the present librarian is not
competent or obliging. There is mu n
complaint about the service through
out the capital.
AS to the truth of this the writer
cannot say farther than that there
are many people who complain Of to-
service. The cry was made that il
vas an attack on 4 woman AMI Ills
was made the issue by the dictator.
The republicans were lined up or
the question as a party measure and
Douglas then lined up four of the
members of the democratic assembly
, Briggs, Smith, COrbett and Trimble.
Trimble claims he was the victim o
a promise. Briggs, Smith and Cor
bett make no excuses. Briggs saiC

OLDEST POLICEMAN IN THE CITY
SUBMITS RESIGNATION.

self Most Efficient.

Bert CayOu, the oldest member of
the police force, and for some time
chief of police, has resigned and his
resignation has been accepted by the
city council.
Cayou is one of the best known of
the officers and has always proven
himself to be efficient in every re-
spect. Since he left the office of
chief of police he has been wearing
badge No. /.
Officer Cayou expects to take a
long desired trip to his old home in
the east and will visit friends in Chi
cago for some time before returning
to North Yakima. He has not ex-
actly decided as to what he will do,
but will probably come back to this
citq. Cayou's record as an officer
shows that he has always been busy
when there has been any work to be
done. and he has as large percent
age of arrests to his credit as any
officer in the city.

DIR. HAYDEN WILL PREACH NO
MORE IN CHURCH.
MUCH DISCUSSION AT THE
MEETINGS OF YESTERDAY
DR.. Hayden, 1t Is Stated, Insisted Up
ON Resignation of Members
Long Debate Followed.

After meeting at the Presbyter-
ian church in the afternoon. at
which the resignation of DR.. F. l..
Hayden was discussed at some
length, the members of the session
and some of the congregation met in
the church Monday evening, the up
shot of the gathering being a decis-
ion that DR.. Hayden will not preach
again in the North Yakima Presby-
terrain chuch and that the six men,
bers of the session now remaining
will resign their places after the COM
ing presbytery in September. This
will be after DR.. Hayden's resigna
ton is passed on by the presbytery.
The two other members Of the ses-
sion had resigned Immediately fol-
lowing DR.. Hayden's first announce
ment that he intended to leave the
church.
DR.. Hayden made the statement
previous TO the meeting yesterday
that it would be necessary for the
mmbers of session to resign before
he would consent to leave the church.
This caused considerable discussion
at the meeting in the afternoon, at
the close of which, 1t is stated, DR..
Hayden stated he would remain in
the pastorate. Following this decla-
ration the meeting of the evening
was called with the result already
stated.
1t is now said upon good authority
that all of the members of the ses-
sion will resign and that DR.. Hayden
will preach no more in the Presby-
terian church of this city.

Moro Ere I.addies.

It is probable that the fire depart
ment will be increased by at least
two members. although it is stated
hv certain councilmen that fully six
more firemen would not be too many.
The proposition will be seriously
considered by the members of the
city council and it is probable that
some action will be taken along this
siae in the near future.

TRANSPORTATION COMPANY DE-
SIRES ANOTHER YEAR.
PLACE FIRST THREE MILES
BY SEPTEMBER NEXT YEAR
Request an Amendment to Ordinance
Granting Original Franchise
will BE Considered.

The Yakima Valley Transports
ton company has asked the city
council for practically a years ex-
tension of time to finish the first
three miles of track which were sup
posed to be placed by the street car
company by November /, 1907 An
amendment to the ordinance which
granted the original franchise to the
Inter-Valley Traction company has
been submitted by the Yakima Trans
portation company and will be con-
sidered at future meeting of the
city council.
The amendment asks that the COM
pany be given until September 1.
1908. to place the first three miles
of track: until September, 1910, to
place the next seven, and until Sep
TENDER, 1912, to place the next ten.
The amendment provides that in
one year the street car company viii.
file a map showing all of the streets
where there are rails and at the end
of ten years. time the traction COM
pany forfeits the rights to streets not
outlined on the map as containing
rails.
1t is stated by some of the council
men that whether this amendment
goes into effect depends to a certain
extent on what kind OF contracts may
be made between the company and
the city relative to payment for the
paving which will be placed on
Yakima avenue.

WHERE Is THE DYKEc

People along the eastern end of
Yakima avenue are wondering what
has become of the long promised
dyke near the outlet of the sewer.
Several months ago the river went
on a rampage and washed out sever
81 feet of sewer pipe, took a gay
jump to the dumping ground and
stirred up affairs in general in that
ricinity. The city council decided
that a dyke should be eret ted for the
protection of the dumping ground
and the sewer outlet The commit
tee designated to look into the mat
ter Immediately discovered the river
was much too high to do any work
n this direction and decided to wait.
The river has been low for some
time and the council committee is
still waiting When the river starts
on a rampage again it is highly prob
able it will follow its usual habit Of
doing considerable damage to the
outlet and washing out few hun
bred feet of pipe It is stated that
the conditions which exist after a
playful stunt of the river are very
snsanitary and may be prevented in
10 other manner than by a dyke. In
al probability the intention of the
council committee was good. but the
members are busy men and are for
getful. II seems that the dyke should
Be placed as soon as possible while it
is easy 10 do the work A similar ex-
perience with washouts to the one Of
last spring will make the conditions
very bad at the foot of Yakima ave
nue The bridge TO the dumping
grounds was destroyed n addition to
other damage done. adding mater
tally TO the general inconvenience.
