OPEN COLUMBIA.
Three States to Ask for Better Navi-
cation.

PORTLAND, Feb. 9.-United &C.
ton for the opening Of the Column
bia river from Lewiston, Idaho, to
the sea will be taken by Oregon,
Washington and Idaho. That the
three states are to stand solidly to-
gether to serve this end was decided
upon today at meeting Of concur
rent committees of the Oregon and
Washington legislatures held in Port
land today. Senator Stevenson OF
Pomeroy, Wash, was chairman OF
the meeting, and Benton Bowman,
committee clerk of the Oregon legis-
lature, acted as secretary. The i'm
possibility of reaching Portland ow-
ing to the suspension of railroad traf-
f1c during the past few days pre-
vented representatives of Idaho from
reaching Portland. A message ex-
pressing the regret of the Idahoans
at being shut out of Portland and
assuring the meeting of Idaho's
hearty cooperation was received
from President John o. Bender Of
the Lewiston Commercial club.

IS A SEQUEL
TO SAD ROMANCE
OBTAINS JUDeMEM1 FROM FIANcEE
Restraining Order Brought Against
A. w. Bradt and Sheriff Ed
wards by Josiah Burk.

A sequel to the ruling of Judge
Rigg in the superior court last De-
ember, by which Mrs. Frances Eb-
bons Burk is compelled to pay A. w.
Bradt $160, which he spent and
loaned her during their courtship,
occurred yesterday. when restrain
ing order was filed against Mr.. Bradt
by her husband.
At the trial it was shown by the
testimony of Bradt that he had
bought the furniture for a boarding
house which she was running at the
time of their courtship, bought a
hobby horse, soothing syrup and
worm medicine for her little boy,
decorated her first husbands grave,
paid grocery bills and meat bills and
bought medicine for her little boy
when he was sick. Mr.. Bradt court
ed her for about nine months AMI
the date of the wedding had been set
for sometime during last September,
but she gave him the double cross
and married Josiah Burk.
When matters took that turn Bradt
wanted his presents back, or the
money which he had loaned and spent
on her, but she refused to reimburse
him, and he took action in the courts,
securing judgment in the amount Of
$160.
The sequel of this exciting ro-
nance is an action brought in the su-
perior court yesterday morning by
Josiah Burk against A. w. Brajt and
Sheriff John Edwards to restrain
Sheriff Edwards from selling at auc-
tion today property in Yakima known
as lot in block 4 in Herman's ad-
dition to North Yakima, valued at
$500. Josiah Burk claims title to
this property, having secured it No.
vember 6, 1906, about a month after
marrying Mrs. Gibbons, and it is in
possession of the Ontario Land COM
pany.
Bradt, who claims that the prop
erty is in Mrs. Burk's name, took
steps to secure the amount OF judg-
ment through this property.

JANUARY WEATHER
FOR u YEARS
LAST MONTH RECORD BREAKER
Thermometers Falls Below Freezing
Every Day-Sn0w Fall Com.
parative Not Heavy.

Persons who have been declaring
that more snow fell during January
than for the corresponding month in
many years will be surprised to learn
that they are badly mistaken. Ac-
cording to the official reports kept
by H. B. Scudder the snow fall In
January. 1899. was TIA inches.
while last month it amounted to only
,28.2 inches. Since MT. Scuddet
commenced keeping the record in
1893 there have been several years
when the snowfall of January has
surpassed that of last month.
While last January did not equal
the record Of some former years for
snowfall, it has exceeded all records
Of that month for cold weather. The
lowest point reached by the Their
mometer during the we'll remem.
berec cold spell was II below zero.
The nearest approach to this record
was Is below in January. 1899.
There was not day last month
that the temperature did not reach
the freezing point and lower. The
only other year In which the mercury
fell below the freezing point every
day in January was in 1893. 1897
and 1898.
The highest temperature record
ed in any January since the official
weather bureau was established was
in 1894 and 1902. when 50 degrees
were registered. The highest tenn
perature attained last month was so
degrees, which was reached Janu-
airy 81. In 1893 the highest point
reached by the thermometer was 46
degrees. while in 1898 1t was 4S de-
grees. These are the only two times
during January that the highest
point attained has been below so de-
grees.
Precipitation last month was .16
inches, which occurred In "a hours.
The greatest recorded in past Janu-
aries was in 1901. 80 inches. In
January, 1898, there was no precipi-
tation, while in 1897 there was only
a trace.
Last month the number Of clear
days was 10; cloudy days, s; part
~ cloudy days. 8; rainy days. /.
During January, 1900 there were IA
clear days, while In 1899 and 1908
there were only two.
The highest temperature recorded
during any February since 1893 was
II degrees, which was In 1901.

MCKEE BRIDGE GOES OUT.
Ice and Water Carry Away 1O2 Fee
of Structure.

About 102 feet Of the temporary
eastern approach of the Mckee bridge
has again been wasAed out. Early
Friday morning about 80 feet went
out and the balance later in the day.
Information late last evening was
that the river was rising and there
was quite an ice jam at the bridge.
1t was expected the remainder Of the
bridge would be washed out before
morning. The ice and snow is melt
ing and the river is steadily rising.
The river has gained such height in
some places that the county roads
are covered with water, and travel
ing Is almost impossible.
This Is the third time since No.
vember that the Mckee bridge has
been washed out. The commission
ers contend that 1t is on account OF
false work and that loss will fall on
the contractor.
Until the bridge is put in shape
for travel the people in the Mckee
are practically cut on from the out
side world, and the only means Of
getting into this valley is by way OF
Old Town. This road is not suitable
for heavy travel at this time Of the
year. such as lumber and hay. Then
again It is about nine miles longer
and IN some places along the road
two teams are unable to pass, making
travel very difficult.
There is considerable hay In the
Mckee ami a large crop Of potatoes
which have not been sold as yet, and
until the bridge Is ready for travel
so that these commodities can be
moved easily they will not be brought
into this city.
