AN inspection of the proposed high
way on the south side OF the river is
being made by State Highway Engi-
neer, Curtis w. HILL In the meantime
some OF tnose VINO live along the
northern route are opposed to better
roads, because they will be used by
people who have automobiles. or car
raiges, or buggies, or wagons, or horses
or vehicles Of one kind or another.
The Ledger has an idea that good
roads were to be used for just the pur-
pose that some object to. Those who
seem TO be doing the most knocking
would not have TO pay any Of the ex-
penses Of building the road. As q
general proposition knockers don't ex-
pect to be prosperous themselves, and
don't want anybody elEe TO be able TO
own . horse, wagon, or any other We
hicle to be used on the rad. They
would like the town to be full OF pig

the better they seem TO be pleased.

ORDINANCE TO BE INTRODUCED
COVERING DISTRICTS.
UNDER new LAW SOME
BASIS IS NECESSITY
Officials Have Been Figuring for a
Week to Secure Individual As
sessments-NOt Yet Stated.

What promises to be one of the
most important questions coming be-
fore the city council for some time
will be the Introduction of an or
dinance at the next meeting to es-
tabhsh basis for all local improve
ment districts.
This is apparently necessary I'M
der the new law. For a week there
has been an attempt to secure an
accurate basis for figuring the cost
of pavement to individuals, but as
yet the figures obtained are not con
sidered equitable and will be re
vised.
Apparently for future cases it is
absolutely necessary to secure some
basis for figuring The new law
provides that assessments shall be
made on property 200 feet back
from the street where improvements
are to be made. This brings the as
sessment back of the lots fronting
on the street. In addition the law
states that the property holder shall
be assessed according to the benefits
derived
Right here is where the city at
torney and city engineer have struck
snag, as it is merely an arbitrary
matter tO figure tho aSSesSmantc On
this basis, but it is believed a plan
has been hit upon, ana this plan viii
be made subject matter of new or
dinance, which will be the basis
hereafter for all local improvement
assessments provided the ordinance
is passed.

Why Canada Got Our Buffaloes.

There is good reason for chagrin
in this country, that our Canadi-
an cousins should have been allowed
to forestall us in preserving buffalo
from extinction and particularly that
they have secured from private citi-
zens of Montana the largest and best
herd of pure bred American bison
in existence. But it is not the fault
of the American Bison society, nor
of President Roose relt, that the herd
was sold to Canada. 1t simply did
not take the Canadians as long to
make up their minds that they were
willing to spend $4,000 for the $50
buffalo as it has to get our lawmak-
ers at Washington mildly interested.
The Bison society has been active
in urging the necessary legislation
for the preservati IN of the buffalo
and succeeded in getting the govern
ment to establish a fenced buffalo
range in the Wichita forest reserve
in Oklahoma. This range was gra-
ciously stocked by the New York
Geological society. Six months ago
the same society entered into an
agreement with Prof. Morton j. Ell
rod of the Montana State university,
under which he has made a careful
examination of the public lands in
the Flathead Indian reservation, for
the purpose of selecting and recon-
mending the best range for a nu-
cleus herd of buffaloes, which the
society hoped to establish there un-
der government ownership. At that
time it was expected that the ami
mails desired might be purchased
from the owners of the Pablo herd;
but it is too late to draw from that
source.
Although the Bison society,
through its president and secretary,
seems to be chiefly anxious to bring
about the sale of the Corbin herd in
New Hampshire to the state of New
York, or, failing in this, to the Unit
ed States government, it cannot be
said that the society is not working
earnestly and intelligently for the
preservation of the American bison
from ultimate xtinction.-Recrea-
ton for August.

MISDENlEANOR TO PASS ON LEFT
SIDE OF STREET.
ORDINANCE DRAWN UP
WILL HAVE THAT EFFECT
Many Complaints That Travel Il
Dangerous i'm City-Automo-
biles Said to BE Cause.

All vehicles will have to pass on
the right side of the road hereafter,
If an ordinance to be introduced
at the next meeting of the city coun-
Gil is passed. The ordinance is ex-
pressly for automobiles, but will in
clude all classes of vehicles.
Considerable complaint has been
registered with various councilmen
that the system by which automo-
biles and a large number of car
riages are handled is exceedingly
dangerous.
The ordinance is being drawn up
by City Attorney Charles E. For
syth and will be very explicit in re-
gard to this one fact, making it a
misdemeanor to drive on the left
side of the street when passing an
other team.
1t is claimed that this common
law of the road is disregarded both
in the city and out, but the council
men will see that it is strictly OBJ
served in North Yakima.

PROPERTY OWNERS WISH con.
NECTIONS WITH BRIDGE.
WOULD MAKE ROADWAY A
BROAD, BEAUTIFUL DRIVE
ran TO Extend North End of Street
From City Limits to River
Property Owners Willing.

People residing on North Second
street will make an effort to secure
from the county commissioners per-
mission TO cut that thoroughfare
through from the city limits to the
new selah bridge, which viii be sit
uated about half mile below the
present structure.
1t is stated that a large number of
the property owners Will be willing
to give right of way for 7o-foot
thoroughfare, and in all probability
the others Will be willing to follow
suit, providing Second street Is
opened TO the city limits.
Directly adjoining the city limits
on the north are a large number of
city lots, and the greater number OF
the owners of these lots will in ali
probably be willing to donate
enough for street to enhance the
value of the property
With Second street open and the
roadway completed from the city
limits to the river, Second street
would furnish one of the most beau
tiful drives in the vicinity Of town.
The new bridge will be a most sub
stantial one and is set on high
ground thus furnishing a roadway
where there Will be no chance of an
overflow such as the approaches to
the old bridge We're subject TO, where
there has been considerable difficulty
from high water at certain seasons
of the year.
The property owners have every
belief that this Improvement may be
carried through and are very hope
tul for the ultimate success of the
enterprise, as it would mean much
to that end Of the city and open UP
a beautiful and valuable stretch of
land, which would be converted into
very valuable city lots. It would
mean, as well, an immediate raise
in the price of north end property, it
is stated.

interior of Alaska will be made from
Zillah Saturday afternoon. This is
on account of the last boat for the
interior sailing from Seattle next
Tuesday. On this boat there will be
a carload shipment of King apples
made by the local house of Hull,
Hamlet & Co. from Zillah. Other
| shipments will be made to Alaska,
| but not TO the Interior Considerable
fruit has been shipped from the
Yakima valley to Alaska this season,
and If it were not for the closing of

more would no doubt be shipped, as
other orders have bedn received
which cannot be filled in order to get
the cars in Seattle in time for un-
| loading on the last boat.
Shipments are pouring into Seat
tie every day, and the boats which
are sailing now are overcrowded
The last boat will possibly be unable
to carry all the freight offered and
in case the fruit does not arrive in
time for unloading it is very prob
| able that it will be left.

This is due to the efforts of S. Hull
of the Seattle house of Hull, Hamlet

an order for a mixed car Of fruit for
the Alberta country, portion of
which, and possibly the entire car,
will be shipped from the Yakima
valley. Mr.. Hull started negotia-
tons to secure regular orders and
| he has been successful. The local
house of Hull, Hamlet & Co. will
start making shipments of mixed
fruit to that country in few weeks,
and when the shipments start they
! will continue throughout the season.
Indications are that there will be
some good sized orders placed.
shipment of $50 boxes of fancy
peaches was made to Alaska by Hull,

week. These peaches We're secured
in Wapato and Yakima and the COM
mission house paid 81 box. Wapato
ranchers have started shipping
straight cars of Bartlett pears. the
majority of the shipments going
east Outside of pears all fruit
shipments are made up of mixed
cars. Next week shipping of straight
cars of peaches will commence.
Fruit picking has started in earn
est and large quantities are being
placed on the market. The prices
hold out about the same, and no
changes are looked for. Express
shipments are heavy and the car
load freight shipments are good.

houses are lying low on quoted
prices to the east and west, and will
not quote any definite prices, as
