Fairbanks Has Organization.

His friends have been at work for some
time. and the organization they have built
up undoubtedly surpasses that Of any of
the others who are looked on as candi-
dates for the nomination. He is taking
advantage Of every opportunity to get
before the people.
Unbiased observers think that the out
look IS not altogether favorable to the
Republicans They say that, with the
country in its present state Of mind. there
are only two men in that party who
would have chance to win if the Demo
Gratis nominate Bryan on a platform
which does not indorse government own
ership. One Of these is President Roose-
welt, who has no idea Of being a candi-
date to succeed himself. and the other is
Speaker Cannon, who continues to laugh
at all suggestions of a boom i'm his favor.

OPPOSE GAME LAWS
EARL BARNES, WARDEN, GOES
TO OLYMPIA MONDAY.
Does Not Think Action Will Be Bene-

County.

Game Warden Earl Barnes left
Monday morning for Olympia to OPP
pose the resolutions to the game laws
as adopted by the committee to be
referred to the legislature. At the
state game wardens' convention In
this city in November a set Of reso-
lutions were drawn up which would
be beneficial to every county In the
state, which were referred to the leg
islature. The resolutions as adopted
by the legislative committee do not
appear to be OF any benefit to Yakima
county and various other counties.
and several Of the game wardens
from different counties have gone to
Olympia to oppose them.
The game laws as they now stand,
while Of benefit to some counties, do
not in the least effect other counties
and the resolutions adopted at the
convention were to meet all require
ments.

ARE TESTING THE HILL
NORTHERN PACIFIC MEN AT
WORK NEAR UNION GAP.
Have Not Started Actual Con-
struction of Grade. But are
True to Agreement.

Work has been commenced at
Union Gap by the Northern Pacific
Railway company. They have not
started actual construction of spur
or raising the present grade. but are
testing the soil in the hill of the gap.
This is evidently done on account Of
the agreement recently drawn up be-
tween the county commissioners and
the North Coast railway. Immedi-
ately after the agreement was signed
a party Of Northern Pacific survey
ors left for the gap to survey the
ground and see what allowance had
been made by the North Coast sur
veyors for the double tracking of the
Northern Pacific system, raising OF
their grade and the location Of the
county bridge.
The. Northern Pacific has refused
to compromise with the North Coast
and will not listen to the North Coast
or the county road being located on
their right-of-way. and have determ-
ined to fight it through the courts.
When the cases are resumed In
March there will be great many
new points introduced relative to tn

WILL DEMAND
CITY PAPERS
TO SERVE ORDER ON NICHOLS
City Attorney Forsyth Instructed to
Prosecute II Demand Is
Not Acceded.

A. A. Nichols, former city engin.
eer, must turn over to the city ali
charts, books, papers and instruments
belonging to the city and coming in.
to his possession when he held the
office of engineer. Failing to do this
City Attorney c. e. Forsyth is in.
structed to start prosecution.
The papers must be turned over
to the present incumbent, w. H. Mar.
Bile. The city council has ordered
this proceeding and a demand for
the papers will probably be served
on Mr.. Nichols some time today.
1t is alleged that Mr.. Nichols has
retained many papers and books be.
longing to the city engineering de.
partment and that he has not offered
to hand these over to the present en-.
gineer, much difficulty being en-
countered as a result.
The city council is extremely de-
sirous Of again securing these pa
pers and have consequently taker
radical measures in the matter.

WILL CHANGE
STREET NAMES
WAS AMBRus1ER's IDEA
All Streets Up to Reed West Of Rail.
Road Tracks Will be
Numbered.

A wholesale change in the names
of the avenues west of the tracks has
been made by the city council, and
hereafter those streets will be num-
bered and will be copied after the
Salt Lake City system.
For instance, II a house number
has been 102 South Selah, it will
hereafter be 102 First avenue West.
Eleven streets are affected by the
new order changing the names Of the
streets west Of and parallel with the
Northern Pacific tracks Street
names will be changed as follows:
Selah street to First avenue, All
tanum to Second avenue, Wenas to
Third avenue, Kittitas to Fourth ave-
nue., Mckee to Fifth avenue, Rainier
to Sixth avenue, Tacoma to Seventh
avenue, Seattle to. Eighth avenue,
Spokane to Ninth avenue, Walla Wal
la to Tenth avenue, Reed to Eleventh
avenue. Other thoroughfares on the
west side of the tracks will retain
their former names.
The ordinance is the result Of
Councilman Armbruster's study Of
numbering streets and will no doubt
be of great benefit to the city. Mayor
Fechter is responsible for the add.
ton of the word west" to the names
of the avenues. It is believed the
west" will distinguish between the
streets and avenues and will be of
assistance 20 strangers.
Councilman Armbruster objected
to the propositian of adding the
"west," but voted aye with the
amendment added.

Two Similar.

Saturday H. c. Emmons, employed
on the work of the sewer construc-

similar fate to that of the two peo-
PIE who met their death some time
ago in a sewer accident.
Emmons was working on the i
street sewer and was below the sur
face of the cut. Suddenly the earth
started to give away and a man
working near shouted warning and
Emmons jumped behind the props
just in time to escape the falling
earth.
If he had been ten seconds later

have suffered a similar fate to the
two others who met death. Frozer
ground is said to be extremely dan
gerous to the men employed at the

that Salton sea will now fall stead
