GOAL SUP?'.Y
EQuAkI| DEMAND
DAILY RteE ) 1875 TONS
Northwestern Improvement Company
Averages This Amount for
Thirteen Days.

Since the Northwestern Improve
! ment company introduced its new
method for the sale of coal the trou-
Bile of obtaining any of the COM
modify has been entirely eliminated
and persons ordering coal are receiv-
ing it the day the order is booked.
The new system went into effect
January 10, and from that date till
February there were approximately
900 orders booked at the company
office. The first day there were 172
orders, last Saturday there were 70,
and yesterday 121. The company
manages to supply the demand, but
there are over 100 unified farmers
orders on the books.
About 1875 tons a day is the av-
erage amount received here. Each
purchaser is allowed a ton, unless
the coal is for hotel or an office
building, when several tons are sold.
Under the present arrangements it
is delivered anywhere in the city linn
its for $3.50 a ton.
From January to 10 5000 tons
were obtained by the North Yakima
consumers This includes the amount
secured in the raids on the two
trains, when approximately 1000
tons were taken.
During November the Northwest
ern improvement company sold 1900
tons; December 1000 tons and Janu-
airy 5000 tons. In addition to this
amount there is the 1000 tons OBJ
tanned in the raid and that sold by
| the Pioneer Lumber company and
Hughes & Dekay. This will bring
the grand total disposed of here fol
the three months in the neighbor-
hood of 5000 tons. 81
Yesterday six cars arrived, which
is about the average of the daily re-
ceipts. The new system is giving
| the best OF satisfaction. III TINS
means of sale had been introduces
earlier in the year the principal re
lief it would have given would have
been the prevention of many per
sons filing their cellars and indulg-
ing in speculation in the commodity
Mr.. Hessey, the local manager OF
the company, is of the opinion that
at one time there would have beer
at least 1000 untitled orders if this
arrangement had been adopted ear
lier in the winter. The fact that Goa
has been arriving regularly since the
raid has been of great assistance II
making the new system success.

HEAR PETITION MARCH 4.
Incorporation of Toppenish Up Be
fore Commissioners.

The county commissioners have set
March as the date for the hearing
of the petition for the incorporation
of Toppenish. The petitioners do not
desire to incorporate the entire town,
but only that portion known as the
Lily tract on the west side of the
railroad. This tract, which composes
about 40. acres, has been given by
an act of congress as town site
and the property therein can be
taxed. Those in opposition are resi-
dents Of that portion of the town on
the east side of the track, which has
not been given by congress as a town
site, and the property is not taxable
Therefore they do not desire that
any portion of the town be incorpor-
ated until the entire town can come
under the incorporation.
When the petition was presented to
the commissioners last Monday At
torney Lee for the opposition pre-
scented affidavits that the Lily tract
only had $50 inhabitants, and at
fdavits to show that several of the
signers of the petition were not eli
gible to sign The law requires that
a town to incorporate must have a
population of 800, and 60 signatures
| to the petition. Attorneys for the
petitioners state that the tract has
1927 population and go signers to the
petition, and have filed affidavits to
that effect.
| The hearing was postponed last
Monday until March by request of
counsel for both sides, that addi-
tional proof may be secured as to
he eligibility of the signers and the
Inhabitants of the portion which de-
sires to be incorporated
1t is contended by the petitioners
that it is absolutely necessary to in
corporate to control the situation
They state that they only have one
official, the deputy sheriff, who
alone is unable to cope with the sit
uation. They believe if they had
their own local government they
could control the affairs of the town
considerably better.

Not in many years, If ever, has the

the amount OF snow that now pre-

the summit for more than "a hours.
and it is only by the utmost effort
that a way is made through the

There was an average OF eight
feet of snow along the line through
the mountains up till Saturday, ,ac-
cording to reports received here.
Between Sunday morning and last
night between three and four feet
have been added.
The snow has been accompanied
by a heavy wind and drifted badly.
so that as soon as a train passed
through it the snow was drawn in
behind it, filing up the track again.
The snow was damp and sticky on the
west side of the tunnel and light and
drifting on the east side.
Two big rotary plows and Flanger

to keep the track open, but even

PRESENT FRANCHISE TODAY.
Yakima Inter-Valley Company te
Describe Roads Wanted.

After a meeting between stock
holders in the Yakima Inter-Valley
Traction company and the county
commissioners some changes were
made in the franchise to meet with
the desires of the commissioners.
Fred Parker, attorney for the COM
pany. has made the changes, which
referred principally to the certain
roads over which the company de-
sires a right of way, and the fran
chise will be presented to the board
this morning. The roads are in the
Mckee, Parker Bottom, Wide Hollow
and the Ahtanum. The commission
ers desire an agreement between the
county and the company concerning
the hauling of gravel for the county
roads at a minimum cost. This Will
probably be entered into. The notice
of hearing will probably be publish
ed by the commissioners for thirty
days from February Z.

tween the two for possession of the
bottle, in which the Howard woman
secured it. If it had not been for
the timely arrival of Thelma Lessen
berg she would have undoubtedly
accomplished her purpose and ended
her life, but she snatched the bottle
from her grasp and ran through the
house to get to the yard to empty
the contents.
She was followed by the Howard
woman, who chung to her dress,
screaming that she wished to end her
life and that sshe would get the poi
son. They ran through the rooms
where the Lesenberg woman was sue
cessful in getting away from her,
and the contents were thrown onto
the ground.
While fighting with the woman for
possession of the bottle Ray Hamil-
ton was burned about the face be-
low the eyes, and it was by mere
chance that the acid did not destroy
her sight. Thelma Lessenberg was
burned about the head when she
cast the bottle in the air, some of the
acid splitting upon her. Medical aid
was called to dress the wounds of
the injured. The Howard woman did
not swallow any of the poison and
was not even burned by it.
1t is claimed that the proprietress
Of the joint was Respondent because
her lover had left her. He lived in

Ray Hamilton and Thelma Les

being necessary to call doctor to
dress the injuries of the Hamilton
woman, who was severely burned
about the face below the eyes. The
Lessenberg woman was burned about
the head, but not seriously. Though
two women were injured in the af-
fair, the woman who attempted the
act escaped injury.
1t was while in a room with Ray

to end her misery. The bottle had
