MOUNTAIN LION
seen IN CITY
NEAR SIXTH STREET HOME
Sighted About 5 O'Clock Friday
Morning and Was Taking
to the Hills.

Unconcerned and without fear, a
mountain lion trotted along North
Sixth street Friday morning. The
animal was noticed by Mr.. and Mrs.
w. L. Davis at $3.50 o'clock as 1t
passed their residence, All North
Sixth. Mrs. Davis stated that they
saw the lion as 1t passed the fence
in front of their yard. He walked
along the side of the fence for few
yards and then jumped across the ir-
rigation ditch and took to the street.
He then went up north Sixth street
toward the hills. She said he was
moving at very slow pace and ap-
peared to be looking for something
to eat
The chickens belonging to Mr..
and Mrs. Davis were in the yard and
at first they thought the lion would
break through the fence and kill sew
eral of the binds, but instead he took
to the hills and did not trouble any
thing at their home.
Mrs. Davis said the animal was
quite large. 1t had long tail and
a large head. Mrs. Davis attention
was called to the animal by her hus-
band, and he told her it was lion.
There were no firearms in the
Davis house and the animal thereby
got away with his life. Mrs. Davis
stated that the lion was close to the
fence and if they had had gun they
could have shot it easily. Mr.. Davis
is employed at the Boston store.
This is the first lion that has been
seen within the city limits for some
time. A short while ago occasion
ally one was seen near the river at
the end of Sixth street, but very
seldom had they entered the resi-
dence district.
There are usually no lions in the
hills near the city, and a man who
has done considerable hunting stated
if it was a lion it would have tt
come at least thirty miles.
A boy was attacked by a mountain
lion about year ago near the Cas-
cade mills.
A number Of old-timers tell o
mountain lions being seen close tt
the city at various times and do no
consider the incident greatly out o
the ordinary.

time as to whether it would elevate
its grade through Union. gap, and
Mr.. Groscup stated to the court that
he now in behalf of the Northern
Pacific elected to do so, and to con-
struct a double track through the
gap. Mr.. Sniyely demanded jury
trial at once to assess the damages in
all of the cases except the crossing
at Parker bottom, and he claimed
that he Northern Pacific was not en-
titled to damages in this case, and
the Northern Pacifc's attorneys
finally agreed to this as the law Of
the case.
Mr.. Groscup stated that he was 60
ing to st. Paul in few days to con-
suit President Elliott of the North
ern Pacific and Chief Engineer OAR
ling upon these cases, and that he
did not wish judgments entered in
these cases until he returned. Mr.
Sniyely, in behalf of the North Coast
late this evening, agreed to this upon
an intimation from Mr.. Grosscup that
after seeing these gentlemen he
might be able to adjust all the diff
ferences between the two railroads
without further delay or litigation,
upon condition, however, that Mr..
Grosscup's time to take the cases
to the supreme court should be re-
duced to ten days after his return, he
to go next Thursday and to return
in three weeks, and in case he did
not take the cases to the supreme
court jury should be called within
ten days after his return to assess
the damages.

DIVISION FOR
NORTH YAKIMA
WILL ADD MANY FAMILIES
High Official Said Some Time Ago
Result of Litigation Will
Have This Effect.

While no definite announcement
has been made, sufficient information
has leaked out from North Coast Of
ficials to make it positive that a d.
vision point Of the North Coast rail-
way will be established in North
Yakima. The grade will be changed
at this place and it is understood that
this will have something to do with
the establishment of division point.
From remarks dropped by those
high in authority in the North Coast
road there seems to be no doubt that
the long discussed division point will
be established here.
AS far as the car shops are con-
cerned no definite information can be
secured, although it is understood
the selection lies between Tacoma
and North Yakima.
An official of the North Coast rail-
road stated positively some time ago
that a division point would be es-
tablished in North Yakima If liti-
cation resulted favorably for that
road. What plans have been made
since that time are not known al
though it is understood no change
has been made.
Just what division point will
mean to North Yakima is not known,
although it is believed there will be
many families added to the popula.
ton.

The.
Horse Buyer

Who used as little Judgment as
many tree buyers, would be
considered an easy mark" He
would have "horses" enough
on his hands in a few hours to
keep several canneries in oper-
alton for months.
The horse buyer who would
buy any equine solely by price
just so he had 4 leg at each
corner and a head and part of
a tail, is not half as foolish as
the man who owns land worth
from 500 to $500 an acre,
and who buys trees of the
cheapest" seller regardless Of
quality.
At best the horse buyers trou-
bles would be over in a few
months, for he is not tying
up a three or four hundred
dollar investment for the rest
of his life with every ten dollar
spawned horse.
The orchardist who owns valu-
able land should be as critical
of what grade of fruit trees he
gets as he was in purchasing
his land; if anything, more so;
for a good tree can be made to
bring excellent returns on COM
mon land. while a "scrubby
tree" is always a scrub even
in the finest soil.
Our trees are grown on the
Yakima Indian reservation un-
der unsurpassed conditions of
soil, climate and moisture.
Growing and selling trees Is
our business. We think we
know how, and our customers
are positive Of It, for the proof
is in the hands of thousands of
them.
We are not troubled with pest
or disease for We have no old
orchards within miles of our
plant.
If our statesmen fail to find you
drop us a line. We have them
almost everywhere but want
more. If you're open for en-
gagement write us.

fruit crop. "The outlook for the
fruit this year is very bright" he
says.
"The prospect for all kinds of
fruit is the best. This continued

each year, whether tn spring is cold

DECIDE FATE OF CABINET
CHURCH QUESTION TO BE AGAIN
TAKEN UP IN FRENCH CHAM
Der OF DEPUTIES.

Paris, Feb. 18.-During the after
noon there were persistent rumors
that serious clash had occurred at
the cabinet meeting between Minister
of Education BRAND and Premier
Clemenceau over the negotiations on
the subject of the church contracts.
Several of the ministers, it was said,
supported the premier and the cab
met was reported to have adjourned
with an open breach. " .,.t-
Later it was, ascertained that M.
C1omenceau was not much opposed to
what M. BRAND was doing, but he in
sisted on prolongation of the nego-
tiatiOns, which had caused such a
state of nervousness in the chamber
of deputies that the definite approval
of the majority should be obtained
before the government acted. Finally
the premier announced that in spite
of his bad health he would bring the
matter up in the chamber shortly,
when the fate of the cabinet will prob
ably be decided.
M. ue OLIVES, Iue pleleCC VI IlS
Seine; Mgr. Annette, archbishop coad-
jutor Of Paris, and Mgr. Thomas have
reported a complete agreement cover
ing the question of the contracts for
the lease Of the Paris churches. This
M. BRAND presented to the cabinet
and M. Clemenceau took the position
that it should not be ratified until the
chamber had an opportunity to ap-
prove or disapprove it.

OBJECT TO PROPOSED REsTRIc.
TON ON IMMIGRATION FROM
THAT COUNTRY.
PUBLIC OPINION STRONGLY ADVERSE
GOVERNMENT MAY NOT AGREE
TO A SETTLEMENT ON THE
PLAN OUTLINED.

Toxic, Feb. 1S.-The projected
amendments to the American immi-
grafton law involving a restriction on
Japanese labor immigration to the
United States from the Hawaiian ISL
ands are naturally received here with
great displeasure, but the well in
formed fail, under existing circum'
stances, to find grounds for complaint
at this action of the American gov
srnment. The council Of elder states
mon and cabinet ministers showed no
concern whatever over the diplomatic
situation.
Public opinion is decidedly opposed
to a solution of the problem on the
basis outlined. No official statement
has yet been made on this subject,
out 1t is generally admitted that the
plan will arouse strong opposition
throughout the Japanese empire. The
relations between the federal govern
ment at Washington and the govern
ments of the various states of the
Union are not well understood here
and a restriction of the admission of
laborers would be looked upon as an
unwarranted concession in the face of
the treatment Of which the Japanese
in San Francisco complain. The linn
tied few who are we'll posted on the
actual state of affairs are not excited
and even they do not see why the
San Francisco school difficulty could
not be solved apart from the labor
question. An appeal couched in
strong words has been cabled here
from che Japanese in San Francisco
asking for national support in solving
the San Francisco controversy by re-
stricting the admission of laborers
into the United States. In view of
the state of public feeling here it
would not be surprising if the Japa-
nese government did not agree to
settlement on the basis of the restric
ton of the immigration Of Japanese
to the United States.

CALL IT DISCRIMINATION.
Custom of Furnishing Operators to
Big Concerns.

Custom of Furnishing Operators to
Big Concerns.
Omaha, Feb. 18.-The Interstate
commerce commission is to investi-
gate the relationship between the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies on one side and the pack
1nghouses, grain firms and other bust
ness houses throughout the country
which have heretofore had special
telegraph wires and special operators
furnished them. During the morning
all through wires of this description
were discontinued and only "pony"
wires. running from these offices into
the main telegraph office, were left.
The operators manning these wires
from the packinghouse ends are now
employed by the packinghouses and
not by the telegraph companies. The
interstate commerce commission is
said to have taken the position that
furnishing these large customers of
She telegraph companies with facili-
ties denied the smaller customers was
in fact a discrimination and an investi-
cation is demanded.
In the packinghouses every through
wire which was not actually leased by
them was pulled out of commission
and the packinghouses forced to have
their kilograms relayed at the main
telegraph Office. Similar action has
been taken at all business houses
which had been furnished with
through wires for their business.

FROM GEORGIA TO CHICAGO
STATE OWNED RAILROAD LINE
PROPOSED BY GOVERNOR
HOkE SMITH,.

Chicago, Feb. 18.-A proposition to
establish state owned railroad from
Chicago to Savannah, Ca, was sug-
gested to Corporation Counsel Lewis
by Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia
in a letter just received. Governor
Smith declared that such fine would
reduce freight rates and would have
a great influence on the trade rela-
lions with the South. The letter
says:
ct am much interested in the rail-
road rates from the lakes to Georgia.
Our state owns railroad from At
lanta to Chattanooga and there is a
strong sentiment in favor of extend
ing it to Savannah. If Cincinnati
could reclaim control of the line built
by its citizens from Cincinnati to Chat
tanooga and Cincinnati and Chicago
would join a movement for the con-
struction of a line from Chicago to
Cincinnati there might be made a
through trunk line from Chicago to
Savannah, operated solely for the pur-
pose OF paying expenses ana interest
on the actual cost Of construction
without the burdens of watered stocks
and bonds.
"Such a line would prove beneficial
not only to the great cities through
which it passed but to a broad terri
tory adjacent to the line. It would re-
duce freight rates more than rs per
cent. 1t would have most marked
influence on our trade relations.''

T. Of School Question.
Washington, Feb. 1S.-"The Califor-
mia committee, which came here to
confer with the president on the Japa-

Of it's rights. State sovereignty was
absolutely insisted upon," declared
Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco. Yet,
he said, complete agreement had
been reached on all points Of differ
ence, the only thing remaining to be
done being the incorporation by con-
gress o. the exclusion amendment into
the immigration bill. AS matters
stand now, he said, all parties will be
satisfied.
Mayor Schmitz declared that the
discussion with the president took the
form of an endeavor to arrive at a
middle ground and this, he said, had
been done. estate rights were strongly
adhered to-" he said, and in this con-
nection he reiterated his declaration
that there never had been considered
any proposition looking to the estab-

There was no intention, he said, to
abolish the Oriental schools, which
Orientals, Asiatics and Mongolians
had been in the habit of attending for
the past twenty years.
He said, further, that the confer
ences of the school board and himself
with the president and Secretary Root
- ~ - II ,,o
this government might do in the way
of negotiating a new treaty with ia
pan. The present treaty, he said,
would not expire for five years, but,
nevertheless, he and the school board
had come here in a friendly spirit in
the expectation of adjusting matters
satisfactorily to all concerned and YET
without surrendering any Of Califor-
MAS rights and this, he declared, had
been accomplished.

Tomorrow, the annual election
of city officers will be held.
There are two candidates for the
Office of mayor, A. A. Carter,
the present mayor, who has
served the city we'll during the
past''year, and Jno. Pogue, who
is being pushed forward as a
suitable candidate for the high
est Office of the city government.
Mr.. Carter has made a good
mayor, despite the attempts OF
parties whose intents are ques-

peoples Threats a candidate who
has shamefully abused his trust
in past years while acting as
street commissioner for the city.
Mr.. Carter has met the people of
the city and his acts are we'll

several of them) are trodding the

Clash. Between Federal and State
Courts in Ohio.


Lima, o., Feb. 1S.-The clash be-
tween the federal court of Judge
Thompson in Cincinnati and the state
court here has assumed an acute
phase as a result of telegram for
warded here by the federal court de-
handing that the indictment against
julius A. Beiser, bankruptcy trustee
of the Bracken Iron and Bridge com
pany, be nolled, or that Deputy Sheriff
A. S. Earnst report before the federal
court on the charge Of contempt. y
Earnst has been advised not to go
to Cincinnati and Prosecutor Welty
says he will call a special grand jury
and subpoena Judge Thompson if
Earnst is sent to JAIL alleging the fed
eral judge has been guilty Of obstruct-
ing the due administration of justice.
"The indictment will not be nolled,"
said County Prosecutor Welty. "Earnst
has never been served with a COM
mand to appear in Cincinnati more
than that contained in the brief tele-
gram. He was never unprecedented by
the marshals in the cross state chase"
Judge Peck, attorney for Beiser, is
en- route here from Cincinnati to de-
mand, it is said, the dismissal of the
Beiser Indictment.

the press and circulated gratis
about the city, in which lying
assertions were made relative to
Mayor Carter, but not one line
was printed as to what Mr..
Pogue had done with the re
mainder of the poll tax which he
collected during the year 1904.
In the same paper, a strenu.
Gus effort was made to blacken
the character Of the city, and
descending to blasphemy and
using the name of the Diety, the
writer grew eloquent as to the
Sodom and Gomorrah conditions
that were asserted prevailed in

and the fear was expressed that
Eemidji would 60 to the demni'
ton bow-wows if Mr.. Carter was
reelected; that this was so well
known to the outside world that
it was by-word to visitors.
Such methods are those used by
the character assassin and the
man who sneaks up behind one
in the dark and sticks a knife
into your back to the hilt.
But one instance needs be re-
lated to refute such charges:
Professor W. r. Merrifeld,
president of the University of

has erected a summer cottage

the state, but also an excellent
place to make ones home; ano
further, that he regretted that
his duties were such that h.
