STREET
WILL NOT Be
GRADED

After receiving bids for the grad
ing of South Front street between
Chestnut and Race streets, the city
council last evening at It's meeting
turned down the resolution calling
for bids, and the matter was laid
over. Bids were received from Will
liam McKivOr and w. w. Petition.
When the matter was placed to a
vote for the acceptance of one of
these bids Councilman Steinweg
stated that he objected to the letting
of "a contract for this work on the
ground that the petition had been
signed by blu about three persons
owning property, and the matter of
getting the street graded was only
for the purpose of selling some lots
along the street, and he thought 1t
about time to call a halt insofar as
the city was expanding considerable
money for necessary improvement.
The matter was placed to a vote,
and the resolution was voted down.

WOULD REDUCE
CITY POLICE
FORCE

At the meeting Of the city council
last evening Mayor o. A. Fechter
spoke to the council relative to the
reducing of the police force to six
members. He stated that at the
present time the city is undergoing
a good deal of improvements, and
he thought 1t best to save a little
expense by cutting down the police
force for the time being. A number
Of the councilmen spoke on the sub
ject, and expressed themselves un-
favorable to the idea.
Chief of Police James Miller was
called upon by the mayor. Chief
Miller stated that there was at pres
ent eight men on the force dnclud-
ing himself, and he did not think 1t
would be wise to reduce the size of
the department. In view of the fact
that the councDlmen were not in fav-
or of the movement the mayor did
not ask the council to take any ac-
ton on the matter.

ing and which has proved its ability
to kiln the weeds in fields of grain Is
equally damaging to dandelions.
BY experiments on the college
grounds and along the roadside near
the agricultural college grounds, the
professor has demonstrated that 4
solution composed of two pounds OF
iron sulphate to one gallon of water
or one pound of copper sulphate to
three gallons of water is fatal to the
pernicious fiowery weed.

dispatch the old plants which have
large, strong roots, 1t wild wilt them
to the ground, and if the lawn
sprayed regularly they win be kept
down and eventually die out.
The lawn should not be wateeed
too soon after 1t has been sprayed as
this would wash away the chemical
and destroy its effectiveness.

SAY THE OFFICERS
SEIZED j. 5.
STAMPS

A case apparently unparalleled in
the state of Washington came to
light Monday when complaint was
made by owners of alleged blind
pigs in Naches City to Special Unit
ed States Revenue Agent j. M. Doug
las of WaDla Walla that the civil
authorities when arrests were made
In Naches City had removed the gov
eminent stamp allowing as far as
the government is concerned, the
sale of certain quantities OF liquor.
1t is alleged that Deputy Sheriff
Grant and Assistant Prosecuting At
torney Taylor removed the stamps;
that the stamps are property of the
government and the taxpayer, and
furthermore that when a stamp is
not posted it subjects the holder to
a fine of $50. On these grounds the
stamp holders made a complaint
stating that the civil authorities were
laying the stamp holders open to
prosecution by the revenue depart
ment when such a move was made
Special Agent Douglas states that
he is somewhat at sea as to what
action will follow from the complaint
as to his knowledge such a move
is unparalleled in the history of the
state.
He states that the stamp is GER
tainly the property of the taxpeyer
and it lis up to the government to
protect the taxpayer, as penalty is
attached if the stamp is not posted.
On the other hand he states that he
understands the holders of the
stamps were violating a state law
when the arrest was made and that
it is expressly stated on the stamp
no conflict shall be carried on be-
tween the government and the state
in regard to revenue.
He states that the matter will be
reported to the treasury department
and some action may be taken. At

orators of blind pigs.

Push Work on New Lines.
A meeting of the boand of trustees
Of the Yakima Valley Transportation
company was held Saturday
and plans were outlined for
pushing the construction of the sys-
tenn of street and suburban rail-
roads in North Yakima and vicinity.
Mr.. Henley. the engineer in charge
Of the surveys for the Yakima Inter
Valley Traction company, and who
Is to remain In charge of the work
for the new company. was present
at the meeting and reported as to
the needs of the company in the way
of materials and submitted PROPOSE
lions. which had been received for
furnishing the same.
As is commonly known, this COM
pany was formed to take over the
property, franchises and rights of the
Yakima Inter Valley Traction COM
pany. and the only thing standing in
the way of going right ahead with
the work ds the contamination of
the formal arrangements whereby
the old company will turn over all
its rights and property to the new
company. The counsel for the COM
pany outlined plan for such trans
fer, which was adopted by the board.
This transfer must be effected by
unanimous consent of all stockhold-
erss In the company, and a form of
contract was submitted and approx
ed, which must be signed by all old
stockholders before the new COM
pany will accept such rights and
property and proceed with the work.
1t was arranged that copies of this
contract should be Immediately plac-
ed i'm THE hands of certain interested
parties to procure signature of stock
holders. The parties who will have
copies Of said contract are Alex Mil
ler. William P. Sawyer, I. H. Dills,
J. e. Shannon, Wallace Wiley. G. S.
Rankin. M. B. and w. A Bell. These
PARTIES will endeaV.r to get the sig
natures OF all the old stockholders
by next Friday. All stockholders in
the Yakima Inter-Valley Traction
company are requested to make it
point to see some of the above par
ties at once. without waiting to be
called upon by them, in order that
everything may be in readiness by
the 18th of July 10 oonsummate the
transfer from the old company to
the new: as. ON account of necessary
delay In procuring materials for the
road after dt is ordered, 1t Is very
desirable that the new company be
In position by the above date to place
orders for materials needed to CON-
mence construction. The old COM
pany has ordered certain materials,
but much more will be necessary,
and 1t ds important that the same be
at once.
The trustees of the new company
proposs to push the construction of
Its road vigorously. but nothing can
Or VIII be done until the transfer is
between the two COM
panies. and for that reason it is ear
nesuy hoped that the necessary pa
pers will be signed up by next Fri
hay.
1t Is expected by the board that
al of the capital stock will be sub
scrubbed by the time the transfer of
the property rights can be effected.
and there will then be no obstacle in |
dhe way Of going along as fast as
can be had. and dt Is con-
idently expected that several miles
Of road will be In actual operation |
before the first OF january.
